Chapter 308: Hara's

Under the eaves.

After Lin Xiuyuan and Quan Baolan fought wits and courage across the phone screen, another little while passed.

The few girls who had gone together to buy swimsuits finally pushed open the wooden door of the garden and filed in.

After entering, Xian Enjing's gaze swept across the garden quickly, finding the figure who had been soaking leisurely in the volcanic rock pool for the first time.

So with a smile on her lips, she asked aloud: "Is it comfortable, Xiuyuan?"

"Good……"

At this time, Lin Xiuyuan was almost floating on the water surface, only revealing his head and arms resting on the edge of the pool, responding with a lazy long tone, which sounded indeed incomparably comfortable.

Then, Sulli also walked over with a small bag, and put the bag on the dry wooden floor, "Oppa, I bought you a pair of pants, change into them after you finish showering in a while."

"Got it, thank you wuli Zhenli."

When saying this, Lin Xiuyuan was still closing his eyes, nodding.

Afterward, the few girls started to line up in an orderly manner, preparing to wash their bodies first, and then change into swimsuits to enjoy the hot spring.

The first one to go in was the impatient Park Jiyeon, while the others put their respective shopping bags at the door of the washroom, and then walked into the small courtyard, standing under the wooden eaves to carefully watch the scenery here.

Sulli reached out to test the water temperature of the hot spring, letting out a surprised light cry.

Park Hyomin and Xian Enjing leaned on the railing, looking at the hazy waterfall and maple forest in the rain curtain outside the window, and let out a few sighs of sincere emotion.

At the same time, they didn't forget to take out their phones and take a few selfies.

But Goo Hara didn't join them, instead, she quietly circled behind the pool where Lin Xiuyuan was and squatted down.

Her gaze, carrying a bit of curiosity and appreciation, fell on the outline of Lin Xiuyuan's body under the water.

Although the hot spring water was not very clear, the smooth and powerful muscle lines were still vaguely visible.

"Xiuyuan." She said softly with a tone of amusement, "Didn't expect your figure to be kept so great, how do you exercise usually?"

At this time, Lin Xiuyuan was resting his arms on the rock slab on the edge of the pool, exposing part of his upper body above the water, closing his eyes to rest.

Hearing Goo Hara's voice close at hand, he turned his head to look at the other party, then answered casually, "If I say I didn't specially exercise at all, Hara, do you believe it?"

"Believe it." Goo Hara almost didn't think, her tone cheerful and serious, "I believe everything you say now."

This answer, carrying obvious partiality and brainless trust, finally attracted the complaint of Park Hyomin, who had been observing silently and whose heart had long been filled with various questions and situations.

"Ya, Hara-ah, Lin Xiuyuan, you two are enough." Park Hyomin, who put down her phone, had an expression of "can't watch anymore," "If you are dating, date openly, no need to show off your love and play riddles in front of us single people."

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Goo Hara raised her head, her face showing a very real and slightly confused expression, "Ah? Unni, who is dating?"

"You two." Park Hyomin pointed to Lin Xiuyuan soaking in the pool, and then pointed to Goo Hara squatting by the pool, "If this isn't dating, how could you generously want to give him a property worth several million US dollars? If it's not dating, can he eat soft rice so naturally?"

Finally, she said the last three words with extra difficulty.

Just hearing her answer, Goo Hara and Sulli and Xian Enjing next to her immediately exchanged a look, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Then Goo Hara looked at Park Hyomin and answered with a very serious tone, "Unni, you really don't talk nonsense. I'm really not dating Xiuyuan, how is this possible."

"Ha???"

Now Park Hyomin was even more confused, her brain completely crashed, "Not dating?? Then Xiuyuan just said he was eating soft rice, isn't this a joke between couples? And you sent a house before, if this isn't dating to the point of talking about marriage, who can do this kind of thing??"

Goo Hara, upon hearing this, looked down at Lin Xiuyuan in the pool.

The latter also raised his eyebrows interestingly at her at this time, his eyes full of mischief.

Understanding that Lin Xiuyuan was deliberately teasing Park Hyomin, Goo Hara also took the opportunity to be aroused, deciding to add a handful of fire to the already chaotic worldview of this unni.

So she looked at Park Hyomin again, putting on an expression with a bit of shyness and helplessness, and started to modify the facts sincerely with a sincere tone.

"Sigh~ Unni, you don't know, the situation is actually more complicated and exaggerated than you think."

Then Goo Hara, who was silent for a while, seemed to have made up her mind and gritted her teeth and opened her mouth, "Actually, if you have to understand it this way, the actual situation is that I am pursuing Xiuyuan. Not just me, Zhenli and Jiyeon and the others are the same, it's just that Xiuyuan hasn't made a choice among us yet."

After finishing this paragraph, she also added a sentence with a trace of loneliness at the right time, "And Xiuyuan seems to be with YoonA unni, sigh, it's another day of envying YoonA unni, why can't it be me."

"94! 94!"

Sulli, this little best friend on the side, immediately nodded vigorously, perfectly playing the role of the poor younger sister in the same camp of pursuers.

The expression was in place, the acting was natural.

Full marks, must be full marks.

"Ha?????????????????????"

Only Park Hyomin stood in place, her mouth opened into an O shape.

Feeling her worldview, at this moment, seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, and then thrown into a tumble dryer and rotated at high speed eight hundred times, eight hundred times!!!

Just when Park Hyomin's brain CPU was overloaded and about to explode again.

Park Jiyeon, who had finished showering, walked out wrapped in a bath towel, her face flushed, and shouted with a body full of damp heat, "I'm washed, unnis, who is going to wash first?"

At this time, Xian Enjing pushed Park Hyomin, who was still a bit sluggish, gently at the right time, and said gently, "Hyomin, you go wash first, don't think too much, they are joking with you."

Park Hyomin, who was pushed, was still a bit wandering, but her body had already subconsciously followed the instructions, walked over, bent down, and picked up the swimsuit she had just bought.

It's just that before walking into the washroom, she couldn't help but look back.

With that extremely complex gaze, full of disbelief and exploration, she looked at Lin Xiuyuan in the pool deeply.

Until her figure completely disappeared behind the door, and the door of the washroom was gently closed, only then did Lin Xiuyuan look at Goo Hara helplessly and laugh twice, "You have dug a huge pit for me, Hara. If YoonA finds out, she will definitely be in a hurry with me."

"Hehe, just a joke, who let unni be so fun. And I didn't say wrong, you and YoonA unni……"

Goo Hara smiled, and just stood up, she squatted down again.

Reached out those slender fingers, across the warm air, and gently pointed at Lin Xiuyuan's back and shoulder lines exposed above the water, "Xiuyuan, seeing you soak so comfortably, do you want me to scrub your back for you in a while? Just as an apology."

"Don't mess around."

Feeling the different meaning from usual, more bold and intimate, mixed in Goo Hara's words and actions, Lin Xiuyuan immediately scooped up a little hot spring water with his right hand and flicked it gently toward Goo Hara, interrupting her dangerous proposal.

"Soak in your bath well in a while, relax, don't always have so many thoughts in your head."

Then his tone carried a bit of rare seriousness and warning, "Hara, I tell you those things, helping you, is not to plot the little thing in the crotch, do you understand?"

And Xian Enjing, who watched all this from the side, cast her gaze on Sulli.

Thinking of Sulli living with Lin Xiuyuan for so long, but always maintaining a certain clear boundary, she couldn't help but show a knowing and emotional smile.

At this time, Sulli also walked forward slowly and gently pulled up Goo Hara who was still squatting by the pool.

Actually, she had vaguely felt the kind of near-desperate state of mind of Goo Hara wanting to do something for Lin Xiuyuan, and even wanting to dedicate something to repay him, in the past two days.

However, she didn't go to dissuade or break it.

Besides knowing that it might not be of much use after saying it, more, it was that she respected Goo Hara's choice.

Because she understood that Goo Hara was not herself, both had their own independent personalities and ways of doing things, and she couldn't impose her own thoughts and choices on the other party.

Where this relationship will eventually go should be decided by Lin Xiuyuan and Goo Hara themselves.

And after being pulled up by Sulli, Goo Hara also nodded gently, as if she had listened to Lin Xiuyuan's words.

But then she returned to a bit of liveliness, and teased with a bit of small poisonous tongue, "Hmm, I saw it yesterday, your choices, Xiuyuan, are indeed too many."

Lin Xiuyuan, who had just been serious for a while, was immediately broken by this precise complaint, and wailed with a long tone, "Hara-ah……"

Goo Hara looked at his deliberately exaggerated depressed appearance, and couldn't help but laugh "puchi."

Her eyebrows curved, and the previous subtle atmosphere dissipated.

Just at this time, Park Jiyeon, who had already arrived at the edge of the pool, generously loosened the bath towel she was wrapped in.

Revealing the healthy figure underneath that was full of youthful vitality and delicate skin.

Then she stepped directly into the hot spring, splashing a piece of water.

While adapting to the water temperature, she didn't forget to join the camp of crusade against someone, humming, "Hmph~ Hara unni, you are not wrong at all, oppa, he just likes older ones, likes the mature sister type, likes the kind that is mature and has style, and it's best if it carries a bit of a married woman's feeling. Right, oppa, you think that's the only way to have flavor, right, don't deny it."

"Oh?? There is such a story??"

After all, she had only "joined the religion" for two days, and Goo Hara didn't know enough about Lin Xiuyuan's "history" and "preferences."

So hearing Park Jiyeon's words, the curiosity and gossip fire that had just subsided immediately burned fiercely again, and an extremely excited and thirsty expression for knowledge appeared on her face.

So much so that the expression on Lin Xiuyuan's face froze instantly, facing the gazes that were teasing and exploring at the same time, he simply pulled the dry towel from the side and covered it directly on his face.

Forget it, silence is gold.

It seems this hot spring can't be soaked quietly.

Surrounded by the laughter of Park Jiyeon, Goo Hara, and Sulli, after a while, the door of the washroom was pulled open again.

Park Hyomin, who went in earlier, also finished washing and walked out.

However, unlike Park Jiyeon who was still conservative with a bath towel, she directly took the bath towel in her hand.

Letting that figure, which had been exercised by dance for many years and had exquisite curves, be exposed to the warm and humid air, wearing only the newly bought swimsuit.

Park Hyomin chose a black one-piece swimsuit just now, the suspender design cleverly set off her proud upper circumference, and the scar in the middle of the slender collarbone that was squeezed together carried a bit of inadvertent temptation.

Looking down, although it was a one-piece swimsuit, the firm and flat lower abdomen was still charming.

And those straight, slender, fair legs that seemed to glow.

The water droplets on her body seemed not to be completely wiped off, slowly sliding down her smooth skin, shimmering with a faint light under the hazy light of the garden.

Such a beauty was stepping on the cool and smooth rock slab, walking toward the hot spring pool step by step, every step carrying a natural confidence and sexiness.

However, because Lin Xiuyuan was currently "playing dead" with a towel covering his face, he couldn't appreciate this lively and fragrant scene for the first time.

But Goo Hara and Sulli on the shore saw it clearly, so both almost exclaimed at the same time.

"Wow, Hyomin unni! Your figure is really too amazing!" Goo Hara praised sincerely, her eyes carrying obvious envy.

"Yes, yes, so sexy, so white!" Sulli also leaned closer, her gaze wandering on Park Hyomin, finally stopping at a certain key part, and asked in a low voice with a bit of thirst for knowledge, "Unni, how do you maintain this place? Is there any secret? Teach us!"

Following Sulli's question and gesture without any avoidance, Lin Xiuyuan, who had just covered his face to seek quiet, seemed to have installed a radar.

He pulled off the towel on his face with a "whoosh," and his eyes accurately looked in the direction Park Hyomin was walking.

And his clear action immediately made Park Jiyeon and Xian Enjing next to him laugh.

Especially Park Jiyeon, who laughed while deliberately scooping up hot spring water and splashing it at Lin Xiuyuan, "Ya, oppa, can you not be so excited, pay attention to your image."

Lin Xiuyuan, who was splashed with water on his face, didn't get angry, but wiped his face righteously, his gaze still frankly appreciating the beautiful scenery in front of him, and said reasonably, "No way, appreciating beauties has always been one of the few noble hobbies in my life."

Saying this, his eyes flowed more focused on Park Hyomin's sexy and hot figure, carrying undisguised appreciation.

And Park Hyomin was originally holding a bit of revenge psychology, wanting to use her most confident figure to give this man who brought her huge shock and cognitive impact one after another a little color to see.

So at this moment, seeing that he was indeed hooked, she couldn't help but feel a bit proud.

She also displayed herself more generously, walking calmly, and even deliberately slowed down her pace, making that beautiful posture add a bit of hazy temptation in the water vapor.

After walking to the edge of the pool, she didn't enter the water immediately, but turned slightly, and placed the bath towel she was holding casually on a dry place nearby.

This action inadvertently stretched the lines of her body again, making that perfect waist-to-hip ratio more prominent.

However, after Lin Xiuyuan appreciated it carefully for a few seconds, his mind couldn't help but start to automatically compare.

And the object of comparison was naturally Park Hyomin in the 2025 time and space, who had experienced more years of precipitation, whose temperament became more charming and mature, and who wore a bolder swimsuit at the birthday party.

Hmm, let's think.

That one in 2025, the figure is more plump and full, like a ripe peach, the visual impact is stronger, carrying a lazy and fatal attraction.

And this one in 2013 wins in youthful invincibility, the skin is tight and fair as if it can pinch water.

The whole body exudes a kind of inexperienced, vibrant sexiness, like a green apple with dew in early summer.

It can only be said that each has its own merits, and both are rare beauties.

After completing this academic comparison in his mind, Lin Xiuyuan was satisfied, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then……

Pulled up that towel again, covering his face.

Paralyzed back into the hot spring, continuing his enjoyment time that was interrupted.

And this "look once and withdraw, and have no nostalgia" operation made Park Hyomin, who had just walked to the edge of the rock pool and was preparing to enter the water elegantly, instantly a bit crazy.

No……what do you mean by this?!

Look once and it's over??

Wilted?

Is my figure not good enough?

Or can't enter your old man's eyes??

Didn't you say it quite nicely just now, what "appreciating beauties is a noble hobby," then you appreciate it.

How come you appreciate it so perfunctorily??

Then a sense of inexplicable frustration and competitive spirit surged into Park Hyomin's heart.

If it weren't for Xian Enjing, Goo Hara, and others still watching from the side, she really wanted to jump into the hot spring directly, lie on Lin Xiuyuan, and pinch his neck fiercely, asking him to give herself an explanation.

And Xian Enjing, who had been paying attention to Park Hyomin's change from confident display to instant eating of shriveled expressions, couldn't help but lower her head and laugh softly upon seeing this.

However, in order to cover up her smile, she turned to look at the side, and also relieved the slightly awkward scene in front of her, "Hara, Sulli, you guys wait a while, I'll wash first."

"Hmm, okay unni." Goo Hara responded obediently.

"Okay, Enjing unni, go quickly!" Sulli also waved her hand with a smile.

Before leaving, Xian Enjing took one last look at Lin Xiuyuan, who was covering his face with a towel and seemed to have "emptied everything," and then looked at Park Hyomin, who was standing by the pool, with a complex expression and a bit of pouting, and turned to walk toward the washroom with a smile full of deep meaning.

And Park Hyomin, after Xian Enjing walked into the bathroom, gritted her teeth and walked into the hot spring, and increased her movements……

Inadvertently sprinkled some water on someone's towel.

Water torture!

Let you ignore me!!!

Let you rest, let you cover your face, suffocate you!!!!
