Chapter 273: Xian Enjing's

After Lin Xiuyuan and Xian Enjing bickered, the atmosphere in the apartment also became somewhat weird and funny.

Lin Xiuyuan tried hard to play the ostrich, wishing he could shrink himself into the phone screen.

Xian Enjing stared at him with a gaze mixed with depression, scrutiny, and a bit of unwillingness.

And Sweet Enjing, the "culprit", was watching them both leisurely, a playful smile on her lips, as if enjoying a drama closely related to herself.

A moment later, Xian Enjing seemed to realize that staring at Lin Xiuyuan wouldn't yield a result, finally glared at him annoyedly, and turned her gaze back to Sweet Enjing.

Or rather, the focus of her gaze fell on her injured leg, trying to make her tone sound like pure concern, "Then for your situation, did the doctor say roughly when it will be fully healed?"

Sweet Enjing, when asked, said casually, "Don't know. Normally, it's inevitable to take a hundred days for bones and tendons to heal, but now..."

Her tone changed, and her gaze became ambiguous again, sweeping lightly toward Lin Xiuyuan, who was trying to lower his presence, and she dragged out her tone with implication, "It seems like it won't take that long now~"

"Cough cough..."

Lin Xiuyuan, who was tightened in his throat by the other party's look and tone, almost choked on the juice he had just drunk, and quickly grabbed the drink can and took another big gulp.

The cold, sweet-and-sour liquid slid down his throat, yet it inexplicably caused his mind to flash back to certain even more "sweet-and-sour" and romantic scenes from yesterday afternoon.

That lip... the taste, seems to be about the same as now.

Xian Enjing, who happened to be sitting between the two, watched the silent, almost tangible stringy gaze flowing between them, bit her lower lip in secret anger, and couldn't help but open her mouth to mock.

"Hey~ you two are enough, do you want me to give you space and position now? This gaze is almost stuck together and can't be separated, is it necessary? Treat me like air!"

"Cough cough cough!" Lin Xiuyuan was really choked this time, coughing violently, and quickly waved his hands.

At the same time, he quickly restrained all exposed emotions and put on a "I'm very serious" face again.

Instead, Sweet Enjing laughed like a cat that had stolen fish, also waved her hand, her tone carrying a bit of "the situation is under control" composure, "That's not urgent, anyway Xiuyuan should be quite free recently, right?"

"Hm? Why do you say that?" Xian Enjing asked subconsciously, her attention shifted somewhat.

Then she only heard Sweet Enjing analyze it like a treasure, "Look, Krystal and YoonA are either busy in the crew, or at film festivals and promotions. Taeyeon seems to be busy collecting songs, don't know if she's preparing for a comeback, heard there's also recording for a new program, the schedule is full. So they don't have time to 'disturb' Xiuyuan."

Although Xian Enjing didn't know the schedules of these people in 2025, she continued to pursue after thinking about it, "What about Zhiyan and the others? They should have time, right?"

Because of the fight between Xiuyuan and the 13-year-old maknae, Zhiyan was basically known to everyone in the membership.

"They are even busier; the concert is approaching, the rehearsal intensity is so high, they probably fall asleep as soon as they return to the dormitory every day, no energy to toss about anything else."

Hearing this, Xian Enjing felt mixed feelings in her heart.

One couldn't help but almost blurt out the complaint: So your leg injury is really "just right"~ specifically stuck in this window period, and you "occupied" the person, right!!

However, Xian Enjing finally swallowed these words, just sizing up Sweet Enjing with an extremely complex, somewhat unbelievable look of disgust.

She really didn't expect her future self to have such a... "green tea" side.

This depressed thought flashed by, and Xian Enjing decided not to dwell on this topic that made her feel heartbroken.

Turning her head to look at Lin Xiuyuan, who finally caught his breath, she asked about another thing that made her somewhat curious, "By the way, Xiuyuan, what is Jessica's situation now? You didn't tell us in detail."

Like Lin Xiaolu before, everyone on the 2013 side only knew about the Jessica incident from the vague "done" words Lin Xiuyuan sent in the group, and knew nothing about the inside story.

And facing Xian Enjing's inquiry, Lin Xiuyuan's answer was much the same as the one to Lin Xiaolu, his tone very indifferent, "Just temporarily stabilized, deal with the problems later, can't really lock people up or something, that's not realistic, if her work is really ruined, we will definitely be dragged to die together."

At this time, Sweet Enjing also joined the topic, she seemed to care about this too, and asked directly, "Xiuyuan, what do you think about Jessica? There must be a plan."

Lin Xiuyuan rubbed his eyebrows, a trace of real exhaustion and confusion on his face, "Don't know, take it one step at a time, I really didn't think too much at the time, this kind of thing in my opinion, plans can never keep up with changes."

This "lying flat" answer made Xian Enjing and Sweet Enjing look at each other involuntarily.

Both saw a hint of amusement in each other's eyes, and... a hint of imperceptible envy.

Take it one step at a time.

For them, these idols who have to think carefully, weigh pros and cons, and want to look three steps ahead before taking one step, this is simply a luxurious and bold way of living.

Especially after experiencing that almost devastating network Anti, both of them deeply realized that every word and action of their own must be carefully considered.

A slight mistake could lead to eternal damnation, without even a chance to regret.

Afterward, Xian Enjing led the topic to the concert that was about to be held in Mongolia.

Her tone carried obvious worry, "I heard that the network atmosphere over there is not very good now, are you guys really okay going over this time?"

Sweet Enjing, hearing this, had a very calm expression, even carrying a hint of transparency.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, this performance is just a commercial 'running the hole', the merchants over there give enough money, and they also want to take the opportunity to attract our fans to travel and consume. So everyone don't worry too much, Zhiyan, Hyomin, Juli unnie and I have all discussed it, we will basically not leave the hotel except for necessary performances and rehearsals when we go there for a few days, trying to minimize unnecessary travel. As soon as the performance is over, we will return immediately and will not stay long."

When saying this, Sweet Enjing's tone was calm and pragmatic, obviously having made a comprehensive plan and psychological preparation, which made Xian Enjing feel a little more at ease.

It's just that looking at Sweet Enjing sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and even being able to "steal leisure" to hook up with Lin Xiuyuan, the awkwardness in Xian Enjing's heart rose again vaguely.

Fortunately, Lin Xiuyuan's phone rang at this time, breaking the somewhat stagnant atmosphere in the living room.

He looked at the caller ID, it was Jessica.

So he stood up as if grabbing a life-saving straw, said to the two Enjings on the sofa, "It's Jessica's call, you guys chat first, I'll go in and talk to her."

After saying that, without waiting for the two to respond, he took his phone and walked quickly into the bedroom next to him, and closed the door behind him.

In the remaining living room, there were only Xian Enjing and Sweet Enjing left.

The two looked at each other, and the air became subtle again.

This time, without waiting for Xian Enjing to speak first, Sweet Enjing broke the silence first, her tone carrying a kind of transparency and comfort of someone who has been there.

"I know what you are thinking, but I think you don't have to think too much. For my situation, you don't have to have any psychological burden at all. I was quite curious about Xiuyuan's thing, and I quite envied the state of Zhiyan and the others. So this leg injury is just an opportunity, or an introduction. Even without this injury, there would probably be such a day sooner or later."

Saying this, she looked at herself when she was young with serious eyes, "But you are different, you are only in your early twenties, in the peak of your career and appearance, full of vitality. You don't have to be as 'impatient' as we are, just take it slow, or fall in love."

"Bullshit!" As soon as Sweet Enjing finished speaking, Xian Enjing couldn't help but spit, and then directly complained, "Everyone is not a fool, everyone understands that since we knew the existence of this door, we are basically a community of destiny with Xiuyuan, so what kind of normal love can we talk about?"

Immediately afterward, her gaze looked at the bedroom door that Lin Xiuyuan had just closed, frowning slightly.

"After all, who can guarantee that they won't get carried away while talking and tell the secret of the Time Gate? I was worried about this problem after I learned the situation, and later, until I learned about Xiuyuan's special 'constitution', I felt relieved instead. At least his 'rejuvenation' effect, which is almost irresistible to women, feels even crazier and more inseparable than the Time Gate itself."

Sweet Enjing, hearing this, also smiled, and even pretended to lower her tone, answering with a bit of fatalism.

"Everything has a cause and an effect. Without the influence and transformation of time-space factors brought by the Time Gate, Xiuyuan's body might not necessarily produce this magical effect; the two are complementary."

She said and suddenly thought of something, asking with a bit of gossip, "By the way, you just said, did YoonA on the 13-year side already 'make a move'?"

Xian Enjing, who had calmed down, nodded, her tone somewhat complex, "Mm, and I feel that from the beginning, YoonA's look at Xiuyuan was not quite right. I guess it was the big YoonA in 2025 who gave her advice behind her back."

Sweet Enjing was happy when she heard this, her eyes curved into crescents, "Then do you want me to give you some advice? Teach you some 'experience'..."

"Forget it~" Xian Enjing interrupted someone's wild words immediately, a hint of unnaturalness on her face, "I don't have time to think about this for now, I have to fly to Nihon next week to meet up with the unnies, and then directly transfer to Huaxia to start the tour, I guess I'll be busy until the end of the year, without even a chance to rest."

Sweet Enjing, who heard Xian Enjing's schedule, expressed understanding, but also gave a very practical suggestion, "Then you can find a suitable city in Huaxia and rent or buy a house, the kind that is permanent. This way you can let Xiuyuan go over and set an 'anchor point', it's convenient for you and Zhiyan to come and go, without always relying on Seoul."

Xian Enjing pondered for a moment, "I thought about this too, but we'll see the situation when we get there."

Just as the two of them were discussing the issues of the future and anchor points in the living room, they didn't know that Lin Xiuyuan, who had just walked into the bedroom, was also discussing almost the same topic with Jessica on the phone.

In the bedroom, Lin Xiuyuan, who came in earlier, closed the door casually, paced around the room boredly, and connected the phone, his tone relaxed, "Hello~ Jessica."

"Mm~ Lin Xiuyuan." Jessica's cold and unique voice came from the receiver, carrying a hint of imperceptible expectation, "I sent you photos and information of several houses in Shanghai last night, didn't you see them? Which one do you think is better?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who knew the situation, explained, "I'm looking at them, I had something to do last night and didn't have time. I went back to my hometown this morning and just returned to the apartment, I was just looking at them."

While he was speaking, he clamped the phone with his shoulder, freed his hand to pick up the photos and albums of Sweet Enjing on the wall to look at, and didn't forget to say, "But I think these sets are quite good, actually you don't have to pursue luxury, the key is that privacy and safety must be good, others are irrelevant."

Facing Lin Xiuyuan's somewhat perfunctory but core-clear statement, Jessica seemed to pout on the other end of the phone, but still said, "Then I'll decide myself, I've decided on one I think is quite good, but when are you coming over?"

Lin Xiuyuan thought about the time, "Sure, when you've got everything sorted over there, I'll go over."

However, Jessica's efficiency was obviously very high, and her tone carried a hint of urgency, "The rental process is very fast, I can sign the contract in a while, get the key, and call an auntie to clean up in the afternoon."

Listening to the impatient tone on the other end of the phone, Lin Xiuyuan keenly captured something, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and teased with a hint of banter.

"No way, Ms. Jessica, we've only been separated for a few days, right? You miss me that much?"

If it were usual, Jessica would probably refute it hard.

But at this moment, she was silent for a moment, and then, with a frank and almost straightforward tone, she admitted lightly yet clearly, "Mm, I really have tasted the marrow and know the taste, and I finally understand why men and women like young people."

This sudden straight ball caught Lin Xiuyuan off guard, and he stood in place holding the phone for a long time, before he came back to his senses, unable to laugh or cry.

Then he touched his nose, as if he could feel the faint heat from Jessica's feigned calmness on the other end of the phone.

"Fine..." Finally sighing as if compromising, calculating the time in his heart, "I have something to do here, I can't go over until tomorrow at the earliest."

"Then tomorrow." Jessica immediately finalized, her tone carrying unquestionable decisiveness, "I'll book your flight."

After the call ended, Lin Xiuyuan put down the phone and smiled helplessly at the bright sky outside the window.

The call ended. Lin Xiuyuan put down his phone and smiled helplessly as he looked at the bright sky outside the window.

Sure enough, life shuttling between different time-spaces and timelines is really not a moment of leisure.

After ending the call with Jessica, Lin Xiuyuan rubbed his somewhat swollen temples, pushed open the bedroom door, and walked out.

In the living room, the previous subtle atmosphere had dissipated, replaced by a home-like peace.

Xian Enjing and Sweet Enjing were sitting side by side on the sofa, holding the remote control, browsing the program list on the TV together, seemingly choosing a movie they wanted to watch.

"Enjing, do you plan to go back later?" Lin Xiuyuan looked at Xian Enjing and confirmed.

Xian Enjing didn't turn her head, her gaze still stayed on the screen, naturally saying "Mm", "Not in a hurry, anyway I'm resting today, and I can slack off for the next few days, relax."

At this time, Sweet Enjing also turned her head, a gentle smile on her face, and issued an invitation to Lin Xiuyuan, "Xiuyuan, then why don't you stay here tonight and have dinner with us?"

Lin Xiuyuan shrugged indifferently, "No problem, anyway I'm just ordering takeout alone when I go back."

It's also good to have company here, especially these two pleasing Enjings.

Finally, Xian Enjing selected a movie called "The Witch".

The tense and exciting rhythm of the film and the cool fighting scenes of the heroine soon attracted her, and she watched it with undivided attention, unable to help but sigh, "This movie is interesting, the action design has a lot of impact."

Sweet Enjing, hearing this, turned her head to smile at her, "Like it? I do know who the producer and production party of this movie are, do you want me to help you ask about the casting situation and standards at the time? Maybe you and YoonA can go try it over there, if you are completely selected, then you are really lucky."

This suggestion made Xian Enjing's eyes light up, and she was obviously moved.

Although she is busy with her idol career, she always has ambition and expectation for her acting path.

"Really? Then help me ask." She said this with a rare reliance and expectation for Sweet Enjing in her tone.

This also made Sweet Enjing smile very happily.

And as a movie ended quietly in the dim living room and focused gaze, when the ending credits rose.

Lin Xiuyuan also stretched, stood up from the sofa, "Alright, the movie is over, next is to solve the livelihood problem, what are we eating for dinner? I just saw that the inventory in the refrigerator is not much."

"It's not very convenient to go out recently, so I didn't replenish much." This was Sweet Enjing's answer.

"It's fine, I'll go down to the supermarket to buy some vegetables, no big problem." Lin Xiuyuan said and prepared to go out.

"Wait a minute."

As a result, Xian Enjing suddenly called him, stood up, and said with a serious expression on her face, "I'll cook tonight, you two, one patient, one with not-so-good craftsmanship, just wait to eat ready-made food."

She deliberately emphasized the word "craftsmanship" and glanced at Lin Xiuyuan teasingly.

Lin Xiuyuan, who was named, didn't think much, immediately raised his hands to surrender and support, "I don't care, someone actively contracted the kitchen, how could I oppose it? Sitting and waiting to eat is a great pleasure in life."

Then he stuffed his phone into his pocket with a giggle, "Chef, whatever ingredients you need, just order!"

And Xian Enjing was not polite, quickly reporting several dish names she wanted to make and the materials needed.

After Lin Xiuyuan wrote them down, he went straight to the supermarket downstairs.

Not long after, he came back with two large bags full of fresh ingredients, and after putting the things on the kitchen island, his task was completed.

The rest was completely handed over to the two Enjings in the house.

Although Sweet Enjing's leg injury limited her movement, she insisted on sitting on the high stool next to the island, helping to pick vegetables and pass plates, while chatting easily with Xian Enjing who was busy in front of the stove.

From recent interesting things to past memories, laughter rang out in the kitchen from time to time.

The originally somewhat cold apartment, because of the hum of the range hood, the collision of the spatula, and the cooperation and laughter of two similar figures, was instantly filled with a warm atmosphere of fireworks.

Lin Xiuyuan was happy to be idle, paralyzed back on the sofa in the living room, and picked up his phone to play.

Occasionally chatting with Liu Zhimin and Pei Zhuxuan, but most of his attention was on the detailed photos and information of the apartment sent by Jessica.

Because after ending the previous call, Jessica finally decided on a two-bedroom unit in Platinum Bay.

It sounds like there are not many rooms, but the area is over 150 square meters, the vision is open, the layout is atmospheric, and it is completely enough to use.

The monthly rent is as high as six figures, and what it brings in exchange is the top-level privacy and security that Lin Xiuyuan emphasized on the phone, but he also muttered a few words saying it was a bit expensive.

But Jessica indicated in the message, "Problems that money can solve are not problems, just take a few more GGs."

And just as Lin Xiuyuan was continuing to discuss with Jessica: safety details such as how to carefully check whether the new apartment has hidden cameras...

The kitchen suddenly heard Sweet Enjing's shout, "Xiuyuan~ stop playing with your phone, time to eat."

"Oh, coming." Lin Xiuyuan responded immediately, then quickly typed on the phone, sending another message to Jessica.

【Alright, Jessica, it's getting late, go eat first, don't go hungry, there's no problem with the rest.】

Far away in Shanghai, Jessica, who had just finished a day of rushing and was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the new apartment admiring the brilliant night view.

Seeing this simple but caring message, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

If it were in the past, she might not have felt anything.

But at this moment, in the days when certain emotions and hormones were ignited, such an ordinary exhortation made her feel warmer than any sweet words.

Although she is getting older and has experienced many realities and wind and frost, Jessica's deep desire for romance and warmth has not been completely extinguished.

"Got it, I'll go in a while." After replying to this sentence, she put down the phone, bent down to pick up the coat on the sofa, and put it on neatly.

Then looking at the sparkling waves of the Huangpu River outside the window and the brilliant light of the Oriental Pearl Tower, she muttered to herself, "Go out to eat, and pick a 'gift' for that guy by the way."

Those beautiful eyes flashed with expectation, as if she had already seen the expression that might appear when someone received the "gift".

And in the apartment in Seoul, under the warm light, three dishes and one soup had been placed on the dining table, with fragrance overflowing.

Lin Xiuyuan, who put down his phone, walked toward the warm halo, and also walked toward the two people waiting for him to eat together.

In this apartment full of life, the three sat around the dining table, enjoying this dinner cooked by Xian Enjing and filled with a lot of heart in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

After the meal, the few moved to the living room sofa to chat for a while, until the night in Seoul outside the window completely shrouded the sky, and the neon flickered.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xiuyuan, after discussing with Xian Enjing, stood up and sent her back to the 13-year side, and sent her directly to her home, saving her from driving or taking a taxi back by herself.

Soon, the scene changed.

"Alright, safely delivered." Lin Xiuyuan stood in the living room of Xian Enjing's apartment and smiled at her, preparing to turn and leave.

As a result, at this time, Xian Enjing's voice came from behind, calling him, "Xiuyuan."

"Hm?" Lin Xiuyuan, who had already grasped the doorknob, looked back at the other party with slight doubt.

And Xian Enjing at this time had a naughty, yet a little small revengeful smile on her face, saying, "You are in such a hurry to go back, you won't be planning to go back to find the other party to do some 'bad things', right?"

She meant, naturally, Sweet Enjing.

Lin Xiuyuan keenly sensed the little thoughts in her words, so he didn't answer directly, but asked back, "Then Enjing, do you hope I go, or don't hope?"

Facing this question, Xian Enjing just looked at him quietly, her tone carrying a bit of small teasing, "As compensation for making my heart go up and down today, and a bit 'awkward', I'll let you leave her alone for a few days, let her 'starve' for a while, no problem, right? Xiuyuan, you won't be very 'hungry' too, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan laughed heartily, nodded and expressed his cooperation, "I don't have any problem here, I can be calm and desireless at any time. Just afraid that your one will think too much, and if she gets angry, don't ask me to coax her."

"You can rest assured about this." Xian Enjing shook her fingers triumphantly, "I have already left a 'notice' for her."

"Hm?" Lin Xiuyuan was really surprised.

At the same time, in the apartment of Sweet Enjing in 2025.

Originally curled up on the sofa, because of the leg injury, she looked a bit boyish, but her heart was secretly expecting the "story" that might happen tonight.

Her gaze swept across the coffee table inadvertently, and suddenly found that there was an extra folded piece of paper on it at some point.

So she stood up and picked it up curiously to unfold it, only to see that it was an incomparably familiar, yet her own handwriting, and it also wrote a sentence that made her cry and laugh instantly:

【Don't think about it, tonight I don't allow Xiuyuan to go back, and tomorrow neither. You rest well for two days, just as compensation for the 'interest' of my mental loss today. After a few days, I won't care how you toss me.】

After reading these two short lines, Sweet Enjing was stunned first, then opened her mouth and shouted "Ah" a few times.

Wanting to complain but not knowing where to start, finally all emotions turned into a helpless and funny long sigh, muttering in a low voice, "Hey, Xian Enjing, you little miser, I really am..."

Back to 2013, Xian Enjing's apartment.

When Lin Xiuyuan finished listening to Xian Enjing's retelling of the content she left on that note with a bit of triumph, he couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

Then he nodded and agreed readily, "Fine, since it's 'interest', then I will definitely cooperate obediently. It just so happens that I can go back and have a good sleep tonight, and I have to rush to Shanghai early tomorrow morning."

"Go to Shanghai? What for?" Xian Enjing didn't know the situation on Jessica's side, and asked casually.

Lin Xiuyuan simply explained Jessica's renting a house in Shanghai and hoping he would go over to help "anchor" and see the new environment.

After listening to this explanation, Xian Enjing was happy first, and then put forward the idea that she and Sweet Enjing had discussed before, about their team also hoping that Lin Xiuyuan could go over to set a temporary "anchor point" when they carry out activities in Huaxia in the future.

Since there is one, there is two, so Lin Xiuyuan naturally had no objection to this, "No problem, set an anchor for 13 years and 25 years. Just tell me after you confirm it over there. I can rush over at any time here, it's very convenient."

"Mm, then it's settled." Xian Enjing nodded.

Afterward, she seemed to have suddenly made up a certain determination, her eyes flickered, and she waved gently at Lin Xiuyuan.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiuyuan didn't know why, but still walked forward a few steps according to his words, and stopped at a distance of about half a meter from her.

However, the moment he stopped, Xian Enjing suddenly stepped forward, her hands quickly held his cheeks, stood on tiptoe, and printed her lips on his.

A very short kiss.

Like a butterfly skimming over petals, a dragonfly touching the water.

Carrying a hint of probing, a hint of curiosity, and a hint of indescribable impulse to verify something.

And the warm and soft touch from the lips touched and separated, so fast that it almost made Lin Xiuyuan think it was an illusion.

Before he could react, Xian Enjing had already quickly retreated to the original position, as if that bold move just now had exhausted a lot of her courage.

But the body's instinct was to subconsciously purse the lips that still remained with the other party's breath, her cheeks flushed with a faint blush, but her eyes looked at the somewhat stunned Lin Xiuyuan with feigned calmness, explaining in a tone of feigned relaxation.

"Xiuyuan, don't think nonsense, I don't have anything here. Just suddenly wanted to taste what that person is liking about you."

After speaking, she saw Lin Xiuyuan's eyes start to move, seemingly wanting to come forward.

So she immediately stretched out her palm and firmly blocked it between the two.

"Wait a minute!" Her voice carried a hint of imperceptible tremor, but was unusually clear, "You are not allowed to take the initiative, Xiuyuan~ it ends here tonight."

Lin Xiuyuan looked at Xian Enjing's appearance of being clearly shy but still having to force the dominance, couldn't help but laugh, and stopped his movements obediently.

Nodded, and answered with a gentle tone, "Alright, listen to you, then I'm really leaving this time?"

"Mm." Xian Enjing responded gently.

Afterward, Lin Xiuyuan didn't say much, turned and twisted the doorknob, and left the apartment.

With the "click" sound of the door closing, isolating the outside world, Xian Enjing's nerve that had been tense all along suddenly relaxed.

Her whole body sat back on the dining chair behind her as if exhausted, using her palm to fan the wind against her hot cheeks, exhaling a long, deep breath of stuffiness that had been pressed in her chest.

But her heart was still beating, as if the throbbing brought by that short kiss was far more intense than she had expected.

And Lin Xiuyuan, who returned to the villa in 2025, didn't forget to call Sweet Enjing.

As soon as the phone was connected, he heard Sweet Enjing's resentful, dragging complaint on the opposite side, "Hey~ Xiuyuan!! That little miser! How could she do this!!"

Lin Xiuyuan, who was holding back his laughter, comforted her with good words, and then took the opportunity to say that he was going to Shanghai to find Jessica tomorrow.

Sweet Enjing, when she heard this, her original resentment became even thicker, almost rushing through the roof.

Shouldn't be, although she was very unhappy, she also knew that business was important, and didn't make trouble with Lin Xiuyuan, just exhorted with concern, "Alright, then be careful when you go over. And remember to tell me as soon as you come back."

As for why the first time, adults all understand.

So Lin Xiuyuan also promised, "Got it, rest assured."

After hanging up the phone, he went straight to the computer room, opened the e-sports journey that he hadn't touched for a long time, fought in the virtual battlefield until late at night, then turned off the computer with unfinished business, and returned to the master bedroom to wash and sleep.

Until early the next morning, he was woken up by a burst of urgent phone ringtones.

He touched the phone in a daze, didn't even open his eyes to look at the screen, and naturally didn't see the name "Jessica" flashing.

"Hello..."

"Lin Xiuyuan, are you up? I sent you the flight information, don't be late."

Jessica's clear and urging voice came from the receiver, instantly dispelling Lin Xiuyuan's sleepiness.

His mouth was instinctively responding to the other party, "Up, up, I'll set off in a while."

After speaking, Lin Xiuyuan rubbed his eyes and sat up, looking at the bright sky outside the window, sat up resignedly, stretched a long stretch, and yawned a big yawn.

Following a simple wash, he went downstairs to get the car keys, got in the car, and went straight to Incheon Airport.

Smooth all the way, he simply boarded the flight to Shanghai.

And after a few hours of flight, the plane landed smoothly at Pudong International Airport.

When the passengers could get off the plane, Lin Xiuyuan's phone had just turned on and hadn't walked out of the corridor bridge yet, Jessica's phone called again.

"Off the plane?" Her voice came through the receiver, the background sound was very quiet.

"Mm, just landed, did you come to pick me up?" Lin Xiuyuan, who was walking out with the crowd, guessed.

"I'm in Zone D of the P2 parking lot, parking space number D-117, you just find your way over."

Jessica, who has always been efficient, didn't talk much, and even the information given was so clear and definite, making Lin Xiuyuan burst into laughter.

"Fine, got it."

Because of the Time Gate, Lin Xiuyuan's appearance didn't check any luggage at all, only a backpack carried on his back, inside simply stuffed a set of change of clothes and some necessities as cover.

And this also saved him the trouble of waiting in front of the luggage carousel, following the "parking lot" sign in the airport, and walked down the elevator lightly.

Walking in the spacious and bright airport parking lot, Lin Xiuyuan's gaze was attracted by the surrounding environment.

As the first time leaving Seoul to go abroad in the 2025 time-space, returning to the country, he was actually somewhat emotional.

The infrastructure and development speed of the country are really two things compared to 13 years ago, awesome enough.

Although he is still inside the airport, from the intelligence level of those facilities, and the mental outlook of the people coming and going, he can already see a completely different appearance.

Afterward, Lin Xiuyuan, who didn't have road blindness, didn't spend much effort and found the D-117 parking space.

There, a dark green new energy vehicle with smooth lines and fashionable styling was parked quietly there.

At the same time, the driver's door opened, and Jessica, who had already discovered him, walked out of the car.

She was dressed very casually today, a loose white knit sweater paired with slim jeans, a pair of sunglasses covering half her face, long hair scattered casually, but still full of star power.

Looking at the light backpack on Lin Xiuyuan's shoulder from afar, the corners of Jessica's mouth rose, and she asked with a hint of teasing after he walked up to her, "Just this little luggage?"

Lin Xiuyuan patted the backpack and said as a matter of course, "Mm, I don't intend to stay long, besides..."

He paused, his tone carrying a meaning that only the two of them understood, "If I really lack anything, just go back and get it, right?"

Jessica, hearing this, was stunned first, then reacted to what he was referring to, and couldn't help but shake her head with emotion, "Your ability is really too cheating, even opening a hang wouldn't dare to open like this."

Her tone was mixed with envy and a hint of incredulity.

"Get in the car first." After speaking, she pulled open the driver's door and signaled to Lin Xiuyuan.

So Lin Xiuyuan nodded and walked around to the passenger seat and sat in.

The space inside the car was very spacious, and the high-tech central control screen and simple interior made him somewhat curious, "Is this the car you bought?"

Jessica next to him had already fastened her seat belt and shook her head at the same time, "Rented."

Lin Xiuyuan, hearing this, immediately understood, made a gesture of pulling a zipper on his mouth, indicating he understood.

Jessica, seeing his appearance, smiled first, then nodded slightly, and started the vehicle.

The quiet electric drive system had almost no noise, taking the car to drive out of the parking space smoothly, merging into the traffic flow of the airport expressway, and driving toward the prosperous city center of Shanghai.

The scenery outside the car window retreated rapidly, the viaducts crisscrossed, and the skyscrapers stood in the distance, outlining a spectacular city skyline.

Although some sensitive topics were not suitable for discussion in the car, there were still many things to talk about.

"What's the work arrangement for the next few days?" Lin Xiuyuan found a safe topic to start.

"There is a brand event to attend tomorrow, and I have an appointment with the people from the studio here to talk about live streaming details the day after tomorrow..." Jessica answered while focusing on the road conditions, "But both tomorrow afternoon and evening are free."

"That's just right." Lin Xiuyuan laughed, "Can you take me to see the food in Shanghai? Or go to check in some chef restaurants, no problem, right?"

"I'm fine with anything." Jessica's tone was a bit relaxed, but it was still not easy to talk about anything, "But let's go back first."

"OK~ anyway, listen to your arrangement."

"Mm."
