Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 177 Jessica: "For example, the time you two didn't use condoms?" (Please subscribe and vote)

On the way back, Lin Xiuyuan gripped the steering wheel steadily, driving the car at high speed on the busy highway, quickly overtaking one slow car after another, heading towards Seoul.

The sky was transitioning into dusk, and the sunlight around 5 p.m. shone through the clouds, illuminating every corner of the city.

The air carried a hint of summer warmth, but also a slight chill.

Krystal, sitting in the passenger seat, kept her head down, seemingly preoccupied. She would occasionally glance at the driver's seat next to her, her gaze unconsciously falling on Lin Xiuyuan's profile.

He opened his mouth as if he had something to ask, but every time he saw Jessica sitting in the back seat in the rearview mirror, he swallowed his words back.

Outside the car window, her long shadow was stretched out by the slanting sunlight, and the setting sun shone on her face, the warm yellow glow outlining her soft contours.

The atmosphere inside the car became somewhat awkward. Krystal's gaze wandered, while Lin Xiuyuan focused on the road ahead, seemingly sensing something as well, but remained silent.

Jessica, sitting in the back seat, suddenly broke the silence, "Hey, Krystal, that's a bit much! You've been hiding everything from me the whole way, haven't you? What's there to hide from me? You've forgotten all about me, haven't you?"

Krystal was taken aback, not expecting Jessica to say it so bluntly.

But that makes sense, Jessica's personality has always been like this, and lately she's become even more eccentric.

So he turned to look at Jessica in the back seat, a hint of helplessness on his face, and his lips twitched slightly. "What do you mean by forgetting your sister for a pretty face? Don't talk nonsense, Jessica. There are just some things I really can't tell you."

Having said all that, Jessica, besides being shocked and bewildered, looked at the boy in the driver's seat. Although she didn't ask any more questions, she was extremely curious.

"No, you two have only known each other for a short time, and you already have such an important secret?"

"Just calm down, Jessica. I've told you everything I can."

"Like, the time you two didn't use condoms?"

This answer caught Lin Xiuyuan, who was driving in front, off guard, causing his hand to tremble and nearly resulting in an accident.

In the passenger seat, even someone as strong as Krystal, who had studied abroad, couldn't help but blush slightly at this moment. She turned around and glared at Jessica angrily, "Hey, why do you blurt out everything?"

"You yourself stated the facts, and now you're blaming me?"

Jessica's lips curled into a wicked smile. She glanced at Krystal and could tell that what she just said was either intentional or deliberate.

Krystal realized she'd been tricked, turned around and glared at Jessica before speaking coldly.

"Jessica, don't force me to spill the beans. Anyway, Xiu Yuan and I are already like this, so I'm not afraid of you saying whatever you want. On the contrary, it's you..."

“Come on, who’s afraid of who?” Jessica replied without backing down.

"Come on then..."

Krystal challenged, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

Just as she was about to continue, Jessica immediately raised her hand, interrupting her and ending the game, saying, "Alright, that's enough. Now it's your turn."

Lin Xiuyuan continued driving quietly, showing no intention of interrupting or speaking.

I had only one thought in my mind: These two women must be crazy.

The car continued driving forward and soon exited the highway and entered downtown Seoul.

At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan had no choice but to look at Krystal beside him, "Krystal, help me with the location, I don't know where Jessica's apartment is."

Then Jessica in the back seat chimed in, "Oh, you've never been to Krystal's apartment?"

Lin Xiuyuan didn't answer her question. Instead, he looked at Krystal and asked with a smile, "Should I have been there?"

Seeing Lin Xiuyuan's expression, Krystal rolled her eyes at him in a very flirtatious way, and then replied.

"Stop nagging, what's there to be afraid of? We've been there before, so what?"

"Okay, then I've been there. If it's your neighborhood, I don't need to use GPS."

Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly and continued driving forward.

Looking at the increasingly familiar roads on both sides, Jessica in the back seat finally couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to take me to visit the villa? If Soojung marries you, as her unnie, I'll have to see it sooner or later."

"Jessica, shut up." Krystal turned around and glared at her speechlessly.

I don't know what's wrong with me, but after the shop with the small division sign gradually closed down, I felt much more relaxed than before. My personality became more cheerful, which is quite strange.

Jessica shrugged after Krystal's retort and finally stopped talking, just looking down at her phone until the car drove straight through the gate and headed for the parking lot.

Then she looked up and exclaimed, "Hey, Krystal Jung, did you register his license plate number?"

"We're here. Get out of the car, Jessica."

This time, Krystal didn't intend to reply. Instead, she told her to get lost. "I'll bring you what you wanted later. You should rest at home."

"We agreed to have dinner together tonight."

Something came up unexpectedly.

"..."

Finally, as Jessica stood in the parking lot, watching the taillights of the Mercedes gradually disappear from sight, she snorted angrily, "Jung Soo-jung, if this isn't 'Forget-Me-Not Sister,' then what is?!"

However, Krystal certainly couldn't hear her complaints; at that moment, she was asking Lin Xiuyuan who was in the villa. "Jinri, Jiyeon, and Eunjung have all come over."

"Sigh~"

Upon hearing these names, Krystal finally understood why Lin Xiuyuan wouldn't let Jessica go over. Judging from the current situation, if she went over, she would be put in solitary confinement.

But soon, Krystal realized something and narrowed her eyes slightly, "By the way, when did you add Taeyeon unnie and Eunjung unnie to your membership?"

"One was last night, and the other was the night before last," Lin Xiuyuan answered without hesitation.

Krystal was just a little stunned. "Two days, and you pulled in two people? Both were on a whim?"

“Taeyeon’s decision was somewhat impromptu. Is Eunjung alright? I told you about Jiyeon’s situation before. And when I first approached you, I was thinking about Tara, but after you came with me, I put it aside for the time being.”

While driving, Lin Xiuyuan quietly told Krystal about what had happened in recent days. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Krystal before, but it was just that there were many things that were difficult to say online, and even phone calls were recorded.

After he explained the situation to Krystal, the car arrived back at the villa.

After understanding the whole situation, Krystal glanced at Lin Xiuyuan and smiled slightly. "You're in charge of this door. I can't say anything about who you want to pull in, but... Xiuyuan, there are some things you need to think through before letting others know. I don't want to hear someone say they have kidney deficiency later."

"It's not that bad. Do I look like the kind of person who falls for every woman he meets?" Lin Xiuyuan knew what Krystal was talking about and chuckled.

"I don't know if it's similar or not, but I do know that you can't refuse any of them." Krystal's tone was somewhat joking, but also a little provocative.

“Being proactive and being passive are two different things.” Lin Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow, with a hint of helpless smile.

Krystal continued jokingly, "So when someone pounces on you, you just eat them?"

Then Lin Xiuyuan paused for a moment, "Isn't it a waste not to eat what's offered to us?"

"Oh, really? Then how about now..."

Upon hearing this, Krystal raised her eyebrows teasingly, her tone suddenly becoming more playful, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she was preparing to further flirt with Lin Xiuyuan.

"Hey, hey, hey, Truth is calling us, you heard it, right?"

Just as Krystal was about to teach someone a lesson, Lin Xiuyuan interrupted her spellcasting.

After listening to the voice in his ear, he looked at the person next to him with an amused expression, "I'm not making this up, you heard it too."

Krystal rolled her eyes at Lin Xiuyuan without a hint of curiosity, then got out of the car and walked towards the villa.

Because Shirley over there did call for help, mainly because they all heard the sound of the car engine returning and the sound of the garage door opening and closing.

As Krystal stepped out of the car through the side door, she immediately spotted Sherry standing in the yard. Her expression brightened instantly, and she rushed over to hug her. "It's been so long, Sherry."

"It's only been a few days, it's not that exaggerated."

Shirley chuckled softly, then looked past Krystal at Lin Xiuyuan who was walking out from behind, "Oppa, you've worked hard~"

"It's alright, let's go inside and talk."

Lin Xiuyuan waved his hand, and then the three of them walked into the living room of the villa together. Inside, Park Jiyeon and Ham Eunjung had already gotten up and were looking out at the courtyard.

When Krystal came in, Park Jiyeon also pulled Ham Eunjung and the two of them to greet her happily.

Then Krystal also got to know Ham Eun-jung, whom she was meeting for the 'first time,' in a completely new way, which was quite an interesting scene.

However, after getting to know Krystal again, Ham Eun-jung still looked at her face with some surprise, "Wow, Krystal, you look almost the same as you did in 2013."

Upon hearing this, Krystal smiled modestly and then glanced at Lin Xiuyuan discreetly.

Shirley, standing beside her, also watched all of this silently with a smile on her face.

And at the same time.

Jessica, who had returned to her apartment, seemed a little bored after putting her luggage away.

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to find a friend to have a meal and chat with.

However, after going through my contacts, I found that the people in my contacts were either in Los Angeles, North America, or people I hadn't contacted in a long time, and the rest were people I didn't want to bother.

After looking through her contacts for a while, Jessica couldn't find anyone to have dinner with for the time being.

If Sunny were here right now, she would probably laugh at her for having the same predicament as herself, and then vent to her.

Finally, Jessica's gaze fell on a familiar name. After hesitating for a moment, she lightly touched the screen with her fingertips, preparing to make a call.

The call went through quickly, but it wasn't answered immediately. It took almost ten seconds before the person on the other end picked up.

"Hey, unnie~"

Her tone was tinged with surprise and shock, as if she couldn't believe Jessica would call her.
