Chapter 313: If it's you, Unnie, it's not impossible!!!

~13 min read 2,548 words

In the bedroom of the Shanghai apartment with soft lighting and elegant decor.

Lin Xiuyuan looked at Jessica in his arms, her earth-shattering proposal seemingly still buzzing in his ears.

After digesting it for a few seconds, he then repeated and asked back with a tone of disbelief and confirmation, "Jessica, are you sure you want me to tie Xiuyan back? Is it the 'tie' I'm thinking of?"

At the same time, he deliberately emphasized the title "Xiuyan," as if confirming the target of this crazy plan.

"Xiuyan————Xiuyan————" Jessica heard this title and repeated it in a low voice a few times.

Then she raised her eyes and said with a tone mixed with sourness and teasing, "You call her so affectionately, how come when it's my turn, it's just Jessica with the full name? Treating us differently, right?"

Generally speaking, hearing their man call them by an intimate nickname would make a woman feel happy.

But Jessica at this moment was holding back the urge to roll her eyes.

Because this intimate "Xiuyan" wasn't calling her.

It was that bad woman from another space-time who was plotting to bully her.

So although Jessica held back rolling her eyes, she didn't hold back the retort above that carried a bit of small emotion.

When Lin Xiuyuan heard her vinegariness that had missed the point, he couldn't help but laugh and explained, "Isn't this to avoid being a mouthful and for convenience of distinction? Look, your names are the same, I can't call you both Xiuyan and then not be able to tell who I'm calling myself, right?"

"Hmph, hmph, hmph." Jessica didn't take the conversation, only letting out a few unclear hums from her nasal cavity, indicating that she heard it but wasn't very satisfied.

Immediately afterward, after snorting coldly in her heart, she adjusted her strategy and continued to use that soft tone that carried a bit of a clip-voice, while wrapping around Lin Xiuyuan's waist and shaking slightly, chasing and asking, "Then Xiuyuan, you haven't answered me yet, can you agree to this small request of mine?"

However, at this time, the brief dizziness brought about by beauty being right in front of him had passed, and Lin Xiuyuan's reason was gradually returning.

After hearing the question, he raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at this woman who was clearly making trouble, and didn't answer directly, but instead countered.

"Wait, Jessica, this tie-back plan you mentioned, why do I feel it doesn't seem like a style Xiuyan would think of? Are you sure?"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to put forward a constructive opinion, "How about I call her over too? You two sit down face to face and chat calmly? Clear up the misunderstanding?"

"No chatting, who wants to chat calmly with her!"

To this, Jessica immediately refused, her head shaking like a rattle, as if that person were some kind of flood beast.

Because she knew very well that if she really called the other self over for a confrontation, the scene would definitely get out of control, and her own little thoughts of "embellishment" naturally wouldn't be hidden.

So seeing Lin Xiuyuan didn't take the bait again, Jessica also knew when to stop, and knew better what was called maximizing benefits.

So much so that she immediately gave up that ultimate goal that was too exciting, and instead firmly grasped the fruits of victory already in hand.

The next second, her voice opened again.

Still soft, but carried a meaning of not allowing to renege, "Then since you won't help me tie her, forget it, but those requests you promised me earlier, helping me, standing on my side, protecting me, these are not allowed to be reneged on, and you can't go back on your word!"

Jessica, who said this, knew very well that continuing to entangle might lead to a loss that outweighed the gain, and currently, she had to ensure she was in an invincible position first.

So much so that when Lin Xiuyuan heard her counter-question that stopped the loss in time, a trace of helplessness and headache of being manipulated couldn't help but flash in his eyes.

But the words he said, the water he splashed out, especially the promise he made without thinking just now, couldn't be taken back at this moment.

In the end, he could only nod, "Fine, what I promised you earlier, it counts."

Now Jessica saw this and finally truly smiled happily.

Her eyebrows curved, like a small mouse that had stolen oil, feeling very satisfied.

"That's good~"

After happily saying these few words, she also let go of the arm wrapped around Lin Xiuyuan's waist, stood up straight, and casually tidied the silk nightdress on her body.

Afterward, the topic became even more daily, as if that small episode just now hadn't happened, "By the way, Xiuyuan, what were you doing over there today?"

Lin Xiuyuan on the side naturally stroked the smooth fabric of her nightdress, "Nothing much, it was still raining over there, first went to look at a house, later everyone felt bored, so we found a nice hot spring inn to soak and relax. Soaking in a hot spring in this kind of weather is indeed quite comfortable."

Who knew that as soon as Jessica heard the three words "hot spring," those beautiful eyes lit up, as if two small flames had been ignited.

"Hot spring?! I want to soak too!" Her tone was full of yearning and a little sigh, "The last time I had a proper hot spring soak was already last winter, I've been busy running around during this period, there's simply no time."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan naturally gave her a suggestion.

"If you want to soak, there's a nice place nearby here. There's a Pujiangyuan Hot Spring in the SJ District, I heard it's a pure natural hot spring, not boiler water, and the environment and reputation are okay. Although I haven't been there personally, friends and family have mentioned it."

And when Jessica learned that there was a nice natural hot spring near Shanghai, her gaze immediately turned to Lin Xiuyuan, carrying a bit of expectation and spoiling, "Is that so, then Xiuyuan, you accompany me to go together? Just the two of us, to be quiet and quiet."

To this, Lin Xiuyuan shook his head, his tone carrying a bit of apology.

"Now? That probably won't work. I just thought you were looking for me for some urgent matter that was burning your eyebrows, so I left Zhenli and Hara at the villa and rushed over. They are still waiting for me, I have to go back to accompany them later, and I have to send them back to 2013 to rest later. Next time, I'll accompany you next time."

"Hara? She came over too?" Jessica captured this name and her mind turned, suggesting, "Then how about I go over to the villa to find them and play together? It's more lively with more people."

But Lin Xiuyuan expressed denial again, "Forget it, Hara just experienced such a big shock yesterday, now what she needs most is to be quiet alone for a while, to buffer, or to stay with the person she trusts most. Let's not go disturb her, too many people might be a kind of stimulation and pressure for her."

After speaking, he didn't forget to give an example to soothe Jessica.

"If it were Hyomin or Boram and the others, of course it would be no problem for you to go over and sit and chat together. But Hara's situation, you also know, is quite special, I personally feel that what she needs is time and space for self-healing, excessive attention sometimes really can be counterproductive."

Listening to this explanation from Lin Xiuyuan that was full of consideration and a sense of proportion, Jessica looked at him deeply and didn't insist on going over anymore.

At the same time, the tenderness that surged because of someone's carefulness and sense of responsibility couldn't be completely hidden for a while.

So she reached out again, firmly hugged Lin Xiuyuan, and buried her face in his shoulder and neck.

Lin Xiuyuan was slightly stunned by this sudden hug from Jessica, then smiled knowingly, bent down slightly, and hugged her back more tightly.

After a long while, Jessica used her charming and soft cheek to gently press against Lin Xiuyuan's warm face, feeling the temperature of his skin and his faint breath.

Then, in this quiet warmth, she used a voice that almost only the two of them could hear, carrying a trace of imperceptible melancholy and emotion, and asked softly.

"Xiuyuan————"

"Tell me, why didn't you appear earlier?"

The voice was very light, like a feather sweeping across the tip of the heart, carrying a complex emotion.

There were memories of past hardships, cherishing of what she had at this moment, and perhaps a trace of subtle minding.

So when Lin Xiuyuan felt the delicate touch coming from his cheek and that warm breath, his heart also softened.

He laughed and answered in a tone that was rational and carried a bit of soothing.

"Whether I appear earlier or later, it might not necessarily produce much help for your life trajectory. Unless I appeared in 2013 here, but if that were the case, that side would also correspond to 2013, two parallel 2013 space-times, it seems there wouldn't be any fundamental change and foresight for the predicament everyone is facing, right?"

Jessica actually understood this truth in her heart.

The dislocation and complexity of space-time could not be changed at will by manpower.

The so-called appearing earlier that she just said was more of an emotional extravagance and sigh.

But understanding was understanding, hearing Lin Xiuyuan analyze it so rationally, she still couldn't help but pout.

In the blink of an eye, she buried her face deeper, and muttered in his ear with a lighter, more vague voice.

"Hmph————cheapened that woman————"

"Ha—choo!"

A loud and slightly cute sneeze came from Zheng Xiuyan, who was touching up her makeup in the backstage lounge.

At the same time, she hurriedly pulled out a tissue to cover her mouth and nose, and her eyes were slightly red because of the continuous sneezes.

Lin Xiaolu next to her saw this and immediately leaned over with concern, holding a water cup in her hand, and handed it to Zheng Xiuyan.

"Unnie, are you okay? You've been sneezing several times in a row, could it be that you caught a cold from going back and forth yesterday? Do you want to not rehearse tonight, tell everyone, and go back to rest early."

"It's okay, it's okay~" Zheng Xiuyan wiped her nose with a tissue and took a sip of warm water, answering with a low voice, "It's just that my nose was suddenly a bit itchy, there are no cold symptoms, maybe someone is bad-mouthing me behind my back."

Zheng Xiuyan, who made a small joke, tried to alleviate Lin Xiaolu's worry.

"Take care of your health, Unnie."

Seeing that Zheng Xiuyan's complexion was indeed normal and her spirit was good, Lin Xiaolu finally felt relieved and smiled and exhorted, "You must not get sick at this time, Unnie, we still have several important performances and brand activities coming up, the schedule is full, you are one of the backbones, you can't be absent."

"Got it, got it, naggy."

And Zheng Xiuyan gave Lin Yun'er a glare, but her tone wasn't severe, "Do you think I'm like you, like a perpetual motion machine, obviously having more schedules than me, and still filming, but your body resistance is scarily good.

Completely don't need to be like us, exercising and dieting, and still being able to maintain so well while eating all the time, it's really enviable."

Lin Xiaolu was a bit embarrassed by her words and laughed twice.

But immediately, as if she remembered something, she suddenly looked back at Kim Taeyeon, who was talking in a low voice with the makeup artist not far away, and quickly looked around the lounge, confirming that no other staff members were too close.

Only then did she lean into Zheng Xiuyan's ear, lower her voice, and say in a tone of sharing a major secret.

"Unnie, if you really envy my kind of————hmm, state, then Xiuyuan might be your only legal, compliant, and significantly effective choice."

"What do you mean?" Zheng Xiuyan was stunned by her nonsensical words, and turned her head in confusion to look at Lin Yun'er's face, which was close at hand and carried a cunning smile.

Seeing Zheng Xiuyan didn't understand, Lin Xiaolu leaned closer, her voice lowered further, almost only the kind of air sound.

"Unnie, didn't you notice? I, Taeyeon Unnie, and Krystal, although the few of them have been very busy and tired with schedules recently, isn't the overall physical state, skin state, and even mental state very full? According to Lin Yun'er's way of complaining to me secretly————"

The words stopped here, and after ensuring Zheng Xiuyan was listening carefully, Lin Xiaolu spat out that key information, "Ever since being with Xiuyuan, she can't even feel the menstrual pain that she has been tortured by countless times anymore.

Lin Xiaolu hadn't experienced this situation temporarily, because she had just gotten on the path.

But thinking about those few days when she was always a bit uncomfortable every month before, now she could be like a person who had nothing wrong, and she was also looking forward to it.

And the answer she just said was like a lightning bolt, fiercely striking Zheng Xiuyan's head.

Causing her to widen her eyes sharply, her pupils slightly contracting because of shock, and Lin Xiuyuan's appearance quickly emerged in her brain.

"Wait, wait a minute————" Then her voice changed because of surprise, and she asked with confirmation of disbelief, "YoonA, you mean Xiuyuan————"

Now that there were many people and many mouths, Zheng Xiuyan didn't dare to say too much, but the shock in her eyes already explained everything.

"Hee hee~" Looking at her shocked appearance, Lin Xiaolu shrugged her shoulders lightly, and with a smile on her face, nodded lightly, "It's the one you're thinking of, Unnie, although it sounds very mysterious, but thinking it's Xiuyuan, then there's no problem."

Then, she looked at Zheng Xiuyan and sighed in a tone that was a bit complex but more sincere and close.

Stopping for a moment, Lin Xiaolu looked at Zheng Xiuyan with clear and sincere eyes.

"But if that person is you, Unnie, I feel, it seems it's not impossible."

The amount of information contained in this sentence was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, setting off a monstrous wave in Zheng Xiuyan's heart!

Causing her pupils to shake violently again, her long eyelashes trembling lightly because of the intense fluctuation of her mood, and the fingers holding the water cup were also tightening unconsciously.

What did YoonA's words————mean?

Was she hinting at————sharing? Acceptance? Or some kind of————expectation?

Countless questions and unprecedented cognitive shocks made Zheng Xiuyan, who had always been calm and self-possessed, lose her expression management at this moment, and fall into a huge inner storm. ===== CHAPTER 314 =====
