Chapter 285

The next morning, in the apartment in Magic City in the year 2025.

Sunlight passed through the thin curtains, casting soft light spots in the bedroom.

Jessica, who was sleeping soundly on the soft big bed, was suddenly disturbed by a subtle but continuous sound and slowly drifted out of her dream.

Then, listening carefully, the sound was like the rotation of an electronic lock core, or like footsteps deliberately lightened.

At this moment, the safety awareness of a woman living alone made Jessica wake up instantly, open her eyes abruptly, and her heart tightened subconsciously.

Almost reflexively, she propped up her upper body, letting the silk quilt slide off her shoulders, but her vigilant gaze was fixed on the bedroom door, while her small hand reached toward the bedside, intending to call someone.

However, soon, as the bedroom door was gently pushed open from the outside, and that handsome face that she both loved and hated, and was incomparably familiar, came into view, her tense nerves and body also relaxed suddenly.

For a moment, she just sat blankly on the bed, looking at that figure, her spirit seemingly not having reacted yet.

Lin Xiuyuan, standing at the door, looked at the beautiful figure on the bed who was obviously just woken up but still carried sleepiness, and was also a bit surprised.

In his sight, Jessica was wearing a silk camisole nightgown, and because of her sudden rising just now, one of the thin straps had slipped to her arm, revealing a large area of fair and smooth shoulders and neck and the alluring curves that were faintly visible, glowing with a soft luster in the morning light.

So Lin Xiuyuan, seeing this beautiful picture, couldn't help but soften his voice and smiled apologetically, "Woke up so early? Or did I disturb you?"

If Jessica hadn't recovered when she saw Lin Xiuyuan before.

Then, as the other party spoke, she let out a long sigh of stuffiness, as if she had spat out all the grievances and worries of waiting alone last night, and then complained in a tone carrying a bit of coquettishness.

"What do you think? I was definitely scared by you. I thought a thief had entered the house, or some lawless person."

As she spoke, Jessica slowly lifted the thin quilt covering her, revealing her more sexy and slender figure under the quilt, and her long, fair, and tender legs were faintly visible between the hem of the nightgown.

After that, she walked barefoot step by step to the bedroom door and stood still in front of Lin Xiuyuan.

Then she raised her head, looked straight at the man in front of her with those beautiful eyes, and said with scrutiny and a trace of imperceptible resentment, "Xiuyuan, I have a question I want to ask you seriously."

"What is it?" Lin Xiuyuan looked at her expression, vaguely guessed something in his heart, and couldn't help but have a little fine cold sweat on his forehead.

This posture, the visitor is not kind.

As expected, Jessica's statement was as direct as ever, carrying her unique style, "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to know if your time is strictly allocated to everyone on average according to the plan? Or is it all up to your own mood at the time? You go to whoever happens to be free?"

An overly sharp question made Lin Xiuyuan really have a headache, and he could only helplessly hold his forehead and mutter, "Jessica, the way you say this makes it seem like I'm a male model punching in for work, is there even a shift schedule?"

But just as his voice fell, a warm and tender little hand suddenly reached into the hem of his loose T-shirt and accurately stuck to his firm abdominal muscles.

The fingertips carried a slight coolness, but they were incomparably flexible, gently stroking the ravine lines of his abdominal muscles, carrying a teasing meaning.

"Your figure, your face~" Jessica's fingers gently brushed over his skin, her tone carrying a bit of temptation and certainty, "It's more than enough to be a male model, okay? If you add your 'special' physique and ability..."

Speaking of this, Jessica leaned forward slightly, her whole body almost sticking to Lin Xiuyuan's ear, whispering in that gentle breathy voice, and at the same time, what she said was also earth-shattering.

"Believe me, by then, Xiuyuan, you will definitely be the world's number one male model. People who want to get you into bed can line up from the equator, and they won't be able to finish lining up even if they circle the earth. Regardless of gender, regardless of age. Do you believe me, Xiuyuan?"

Lin Xiuyuan, after listening to this statement, just imagining the picture in his mind, instantly got goosebumps all over his body.

So he waved his hands in a hurry, and even looked disgusted, "Don't, don't, don't, stop talking, don't disgust me, this picture is too terrifying, I dare not think about it."

"You were the one who neglected me first." Jessica started to settle old scores, and her eyes carried a look of accusation, "It's fine that I was locked up by Taeyeon the night before last, but what about last night? Where did you go to work overtime again?"

Facing Jessica's questioning, which obviously carried emotion, Lin Xiuyuan was very frank this time and didn't hide anything.

"Last night?? I accompanied Zhenli back to rest last night. I had a couple of drinks with her last night. I'm not at ease with her living alone, and Xiujing has been so busy recently that she can't be seen, and no one is accompanying her. So I waited until she went out to work this morning before I rushed over here."

Lin Xiuyuan's answer was like a bowl of warm water at just the right time, instantly extinguishing most of the resentment flame in Jessica's heart.

Actually, if it were anyone else, whether Lin Xiuyuan went to accompany Sweet Enjing, Park Jiyeon, or Kim Taeyeon, she would feel more or less uncomfortable in her heart, feeling that someone was "favoring one over the other."

After all, she had finally established a stronghold in Magic City, and she didn't ask someone to accompany her all the time, but it wouldn't be too much to give her more time during the few days she stayed here, right?

However... except for Xueli.

No, strictly speaking, there was one more exception.

That was Krystal, her own sister Zheng Xiujing.

So after getting this reasonable explanation, the knot in Jessica's heart instantly dissipated without a trace, and even a reflection of whether she was a bit too calculating surged up.

And after her anger subsided, some suppressed thoughts became active.

That little hand that had been rubbing against him became restless again and reached down directly.

This time the target was clear, and in the blink of an eye, it hooked Lin Xiuyuan's trouser belt, and the fingertips were flexibly teasing the metal buckle.

Lin Xiuyuan, feeling this, was also amused by her impatient movements, so he hurriedly pressed her hand that was making trouble, trying to reason and ease the atmosphere.

"In such a hurry? Jessica, I took a look at your video live broadcast last night, the effect was very good, right? The 'rejuvenating' skin state and the glowing look, didn't they all hit the hot searches on several platforms? The medicine effect... should still be continuing, right?"

Jessica raised her head, her eyes blurred but carrying firm desire, and answered without concealment: "This time is different, this time it's not for taking medicine, it's pure desire."

This straightforward confession was more powerful than any teasing.

So when Lin Xiuyuan looked at the unconcealed feelings and desires in her eyes, his heart also became hot.

But he still had some reason left, trying to ease the rhythm, "Before this, shall we have some breakfast? I just went down and bought Xiaolongbao and soy milk and fried dough sticks, they are still hot, you have to eat before you have the strength to work."

However, Jessica, who had already grabbed his trouser belt and felt the subtle changes in his body, how could she let this person go at such a time?

For her, any delicious food in the world at this moment was far less alluring than this living and fragrant "breakfast" in front of her.

"I can't wait..." she murmured, pulling hard with her hand.

Then, amidst Lin Xiuyuan's low laughter that carried a bit of helplessness and doting, he, who was standing at the bedroom door, was pulled directly into the depths of the bedroom full of fragrance and warmth by Jessica with a force.

The door was also closed by Jessica with her backhand, and soon her triumphant humming came from inside.

After this, the heated morning exercise officially kicked off, and even the sunlight outside the window seemed to become increasingly brilliant.

Time flew to the evening in the blink of an eye.

As the lights came on, the night view of Magic City passed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, like a flowing, brilliant picture scroll.

Jessica, who was still in a camisole nightgown before, had now changed into a loose red and white sweatshirt, paired with comfortable casual pants, and sat cross-legged in front of the mobile phone stand.

Behind her was the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower of Magic City, and she smiled and started today's live broadcast.

And Lin Xiuyuan was lazily curled up on the sofa beside her, wearing headphones, aimlessly scrolling through his phone, trying his best to lower his presence.

He originally wanted to hide in the bedroom for some peace and quiet, but was kept by Jessica, under the guise of "needing a live broadcast assistant."

So Lin Xiuyuan could only helplessly act as a background board, watching Jessica face the camera, using her gradually familiar mixed language of Chinese and English, happily interacting and chatting with the fans in the live broadcast room.

Jessica here responded to various questions on the barrage while sharing her observations and moods in Magic City, but her gaze would secretly glance at Lin Xiuyuan on the other sofa from time to time.

Especially when she saw the barrage constantly floating across the screen praising her for "becoming more and more beautiful," "simply reverse aging," and "skin state being good enough to glow."

The smile on her face became even more brilliant, and she even covered her eyes with her hand, feeling a bit embarrassed, and then started her "serious nonsense."

"Oh~ really? Thank you everyone~"

The relaxed voice carried joy, "Maybe it's because the sleep quality has become particularly good recently, and the skin has become much better. I used to have a little insomnia occasionally, or it would take a long time to fall asleep after lying down, but I don't know what happened recently, every time I lie down, I fall asleep quickly, and I sleep particularly deeply and particularly fragrantly."

As she spoke, Jessica glanced at Lin Xiuyuan's direction quietly again, while continuing to make up stories without changing her expression.

"Just like today, it hasn't been long since I woke up once in the morning, and I don't know why I was particularly sleepy, so I just fell asleep again. It wasn't until the afternoon, um, that is, around dusk, that I woke up. So the way you see me now is actually the state of being particularly well-rested."

Opposite, Lin Xiuyuan on the sofa, listening to Jessica's half-true and half-false statement, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and laughed silently.

This sister was indeed not wrong, she was indeed "just woken up."

However, the process and reason for this "waking up" were far more colorful and physically exhausting than she described.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but subconsciously lift the hem of the thin T-shirt he was wearing and looked down at his abdomen and waist.

There, one after another, deep and shallow, ambiguously incomparable rose-red kiss marks, like some kind of wild imprint, were clearly branded on his skin.

Looking down at this "tragic" battle situation, he grinned helplessly.

The last time such crazy marks were left, it seemed to be Krystal.

These two sisters... their persistence and expressiveness in certain aspects were really exactly the same, did they have any special hobbies?

Lin Xiuyuan, thinking about these, clicked his tongue.

But fortunately, his current physical fitness was extraordinary, and his metabolism was extremely fast.

So these shocking marks, compared to when they were just imprinted, had actually faded and diminished a lot.

However, what Lin Xiuyuan didn't notice was that just when he looked down to check this picture, Jessica, who was smiling and answering fans' questions on the camera side, inadvertently swept her peripheral vision to his movements here.

Those long eyelashes trembled a few times quickly, and a flash of desire and mischief flashed in her eyes.

The next second, she immediately showed a sweet smile with a slight apology to the camera and said, "Everyone, wait for me for a little bit~"

Then, in Lin Xiuyuan's completely unprepared and shocked gaze, like a nimble cat, she suddenly got up from the live broadcast seat and pounced to the side of the sofa in a few steps.

Hey, what are you...

Lin Xiuyuan, who was shouting with lip language, hadn't even opened and closed his mouth a few times.

Jessica in front of him had already lifted his T-shirt again without saying a word, ignoring his attempt to cover it up, lowered her head quickly, and left two fresh, bright red kiss marks on the skin between his waist and abdomen that was already mottled with marks.

A few seconds later.

After finishing all this, she sat back in the live broadcast position very satisfied, as if nothing had happened.

There was still that perfect business smile on her face, and she took a glass of water from the side and signaled to the camera, "Looking for water to drink, suddenly a bit thirsty."

The whole process was no more than ten seconds, the movements were smooth, and it was bold enough to make people gasp.

Anyway, Lin Xiuyuan on the sofa was completely stunned, looking at Jessica's calm expression of "it has nothing to do with me," and couldn't believe what had just happened.

He wanted to complain, but was afraid that his voice would be recorded into the live broadcast, triggering an uncontrollable public opinion storm.

In the end, he could only hold back all his words, turning them into a few depressed, silent laughs.

Then he threw a "you're ruthless" eye roll in Jessica's direction, and at the same time decided that he couldn't stay in this danger zone anymore, and then got up and fled the living room.

Lest this sister, once in the mood, cause some more shocking live broadcast accidents.

Fortunately, Jessica didn't stop him this time, because the live broadcast interaction was entering a climax stage.

Unable to do two things at once, she could only restrain her mind and start chatting with the fans in front of the camera more seriously, as if the episode just now had nothing to do with her.

After a long time, this night's live broadcast finally ended successfully amidst a barrage of "Goodbye Unnie," "Rest well."

And Jessica, after thanking and saying goodbye many times, skillfully closed the live broadcast software on her mobile phone, then turned off the phone, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

She sat blankly for a while, then stood up and stretched to her heart's content, stretching her body that was a bit stiff from sitting for a long time.

Continuous high-intensity exercise and live broadcasting, although her mood was exceptionally bright, her body still couldn't take it, and she felt a bit of fatigue.

However, just as her stretching movement was halfway through, and her eyes were still slightly narrowed, a voice suddenly sounded.

At the same time, a figure that made her pupils earthquake instantly, her mouth open subconsciously, almost able to stuff an egg, came into her sight.

"Ah..."

Jessica, seeing the other party, didn't know what to say for a moment. After being stunned for a while, she subconsciously looked at Lin Xiuyuan, who had an expression of watching a good show beside her, completely losing the composure she had during the live broadcast.

At the same time, a light laugh carrying teasing and familiarity rose up.

"Jessica~ I can tell, you don't seem to welcome my arrival!!!"

Begging for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month~
