Haojiang.

While Kim Tae-yeon was already resting at the hotel, Lim Yoon-a was chatting with someone, laughing so hard she was bent over.

"Unnie, you didn't see the comments on the screen when you appeared on the variety show. Everyone was using words like 'feeling like a wife,' 'so much gentler,' and 'overflowing with maternal love.' It made me laugh so hard."

"Hey, Yoona, do you really have so much free time to watch variety shows? Please focus on your work, okay?"

On the other side of the tablet screen, Sunny was applying a face mask, massaging her face with her hands while silently complaining about her youngest member's quirky sense of humor.

Then, as if remembering something, she started grumbling again, "Don't you have work tomorrow? Can't you rest a bit earlier and take care of your mind and skin? Have you forgotten all the professional ethics you learned about idols?"

These words made Lim Yoona, who was lying on the bed, laugh out loud. Then she raised her chin and brought her bare face, which had already removed her makeup, close to the camera so that Sunny on the other side of the screen could see it clearly.

"Unnie, look at my face, do I need to take care of it? It's in great condition."

Inside the apartment in Singapore, Sunny was getting a massage while glancing at her phone and replying to messages.

Now, after hearing what Lim Yoona said, he turned his gaze back to Lim Yoona on the screen.

Sunny could see that fair and smooth face, and even the camera couldn't hide her good skin condition. Moreover, under the high-definition screen, there were almost no fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and her cheeks were as plump as a peach.

With just one glance, Sunny ripped off her face mask, her eyes wide, and exclaimed, "Hey, Yoona, you went to get cosmetic surgery?"

"Well, how is it? Can't see the effect, right?" Lim Yoona smiled.

However, Sunny frowned and scolded, "Hey, you idiot, didn't I tell you not to use a knife? Aren't my face and Taeyeon's face enough to make you wary? Why would you want to touch them?"

"I……"

Just as Yoona was about to reply to Sunny, a message popped up on the screen. Sunny, on the other end of the screen, also heard the message notification and asked, "Who is it so late? Your boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this joke, Lim Yoona glanced down at the message, a gentle smile slowly curving her lips, and a familiar figure appeared in her mind.

"I would like to, but no, it was Taeyeon unnie who contacted me."

"Taeyeon? She hasn't rested yet? Isn't she on tour?"

Sunny became interested upon hearing this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately opened the chat software and pulled Kim Tae-yeon into a video call without hesitation.

A moment later, a third familiar face suddenly appeared on the screen, which originally only had two faces: Kim Tae-yeon.

And after seeing what Lim Yoona looked like in the video, she immediately exclaimed, "Hey, Lim Yoona, you lied to me! Didn't you say it was cosmetic surgery? Is this cosmetic surgery?"

Just as Kim Tae-yeon finished speaking, Sunny chimed in from the side, "What? Didn't Yoona get cosmetic surgery?"

"Treat your head, my foot!"

Kim Tae-yeon frowned and retorted angrily, "Her complexion had just improved a few days ago, but it's gotten worse again these past two days. What kind of cosmetic procedure doesn't have a recovery period? Lee Soon-kyu."

A slightly exasperated Kim Tae-yeon dragged Sunny into the conversation, which made Im Yoon-ah laugh hysterically.

Then the two of them took turns talking and surrounded Yoona, questioning her for a while, leaving her both amused and exasperated.

Finally, under their persistent questioning, Lim Yoona changed her story and explained that she had gone to a special essential oil spa, but it was a privately developed treatment that had not yet been made public, so she couldn't say too much.

Upon hearing this, Sunny and Kim Tae-yeon were immediately astonished.

Looking at Yoona, who looked radiant in the camera, they couldn't help but exclaim at the same time, "Ah, why didn't you go public with it?"

Seeing the situation of the two people on the screen made Yoona smile in front of the camera, then she sighed inwardly: I can't let you know.

Thinking of this, Lin Yoona couldn't help but think of Lin Xiuyuan.

I don't know how he is doing now.

……

……

The next morning.

Before dawn, the first rays of sunlight on the sea gently lifted the curtain of night like a light veil.

A soft orange-pink hue appeared on the horizon, like a gentle flame slowly rising from the sea and spilling onto the waters of the private island in the Maldives, reflecting a faint, rippling golden light.

Lin Xiuyuan woke up earlier than usual.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a hazy, warm orange glow, and the soft, gently undulating warmth in his arms.

Lee Juri nestled against his chest, her hair slightly disheveled and scattered over her shoulders, her cheek pressed against his collarbone, sleeping soundly and peacefully.

As for the sailor uniform he had taken off early last night, it had long since been thrown away somewhere.

Now, she is only wrapped in a thin blanket, her shoulders half-covered, and there are still a few marks on her skin from last night.

Lin Xiuyuan did not rush to get up, but simply looked down at the person in his arms, his thoughts already drifting far away.

Although he knew that his body had a rejuvenating effect, he found it hard to believe that Li Juli's slightly tired face had quietly regained its firmness and fullness in just one night.

While Krystal, Yoona, and Daeyongzai have all changed, none have changed as drastically as Lee Qri.

Perhaps it's because the three of them are well-maintained, or perhaps it's because they are quite young.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyuan stared at Li Juli in his arms again.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her breathing was shallow and slow, and the sunlight drew soft arcs on her fair skin.

That kind of gentleness and tranquility that only comes in the early morning makes it seem as if she is no longer a member of Tara or an idol, nor the focus of the crowd, but just an ordinary woman sleeping peacefully in the morning sunlight, only a little more beautiful.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyuan raised his hand and very gently brushed aside the messy strands of hair on her forehead.

Perhaps sensing Lin Xiuyuan's actions, Li Juli frowned slightly, then let out a soft hum and snuggled closer to him.

"Xiuyuan..." Her voice was a little hoarse and sleepy.

"Yes, I'm here," Lin Xiuyuan replied softly, as if coaxing a child. "It's almost dawn."

"Don't move..." Lee Juri's voice was tinged with a tired, pleading tone, and she hugged him tighter. "Let me stay here a little longer... just a little longer..."

Lin Xiuyuan smiled helplessly, looking up at the corner of the white gauze curtain being lifted by the sea breeze. The golden light had already illuminated three-tenths of the world.

Then he lowered his head again and rested his chin on Lee Juri's head. "Okay, stay here then. Anyway... it's fine as it is now."

Lee Juri didn't reply to him, but quietly nuzzled against his chest, then closed her eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips.

After some time, the clear calls of seabirds drifted in from outside the window. The first sounds of the morning streamed into the room, announcing the start of a new day.

Lee Juri, who was fast asleep, finally opened her eyes slowly and lazily propped herself up.

As she moved, the blankets slipped off her body, revealing a large expanse of her sexy and delicate back.

As if realizing something, she immediately turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan, "How did I get back last night?"

She only remembers a dizzying, lingering entanglement, and several near-memory breakdowns, and then everything becomes blurry.

Lin Xiuyuan shook his head with a serious expression, "You were carried back by me in a princess carry, completely naked."

Faced with this answer, Li Juli did not immediately refute it. Instead, she suddenly thought of something, and the next second she jumped up and walked barefoot to the bathroom.

Her steps were as light as if she were walking on ocean waves, completely disregarding her exposed body, which revealed a room full of allure in the morning sunlight.

"Juli, are you just leaving like this?" Lin Xiuyuan propped himself up on the bed, watching her retreating figure and teasingly asked, "Aren't you going to take responsibility for what happened last night?"

Without turning her head, Li Juli made a "bye-bye" gesture. "I'll take responsibility. Let me check the goods. If you're satisfied, I'll take you out for the best seafood breakfast later."

"So realistic." Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But in his laughter was a sense of peace and satisfaction he had never felt before.

The bathroom was lit with soft, warm light, and a frameless mirror was embedded in the wall, reflecting her bare back and her profile, which was as smooth as the morning sun.

She stood in front of the sink, bent down to turn on the tap, and splashed several handfuls of cool water on her face.

Then, he leaned against the sink and took a deep breath, as if preparing himself mentally.

A few seconds later, she slowly raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror.

With just one glance, Lee Ju-ri was stunned.

She subconsciously moved a few steps closer to the mirror, her gaze quickly becoming serious and focused.

The most obvious change is the condition of the skin on my face.

The contours that were originally slightly tired and droopy due to age, work, and staying up late have miraculously regained their firmness and fullness.

Her entire face looked like it had received a hyaluronic acid injection, radiating a youthful radiance and smoothness.

Unconvinced, she raised her hand and gently pressed her cheek with her fingertips. The bouncy texture felt so real it was almost breathtaking.

Secondly, it depends on the skin type itself.

Even though she had deliberately tanned to a healthy wheat color because of her love for playing in the water, when you look closely in the mirror now, her skin has a smooth, even glow, as if it has a kind of tenderness that seeps out from the inside out.

She touched her neck, arms, collarbone, and shoulders, and found that they all had the same soft texture, incredibly smooth.

What shocked her most were the eyes in the mirror.

Last night's wild partying and revelry left her with no signs of fatigue; instead, her eyes were now bright and clear, like the sunlight on the sea, as if all the gloom and weariness had evaporated.

That liveliness and radiance was a look she had long forgotten, even almost forgotten.

So long ago, she almost didn't recognize herself anymore.

Thinking of this, Li Juli quickly turned around and carefully examined her back and lower body skin in the mirror. She even reached out and touched her waist and inner thighs. Those areas that were usually most prone to dry lines and sagging were now so tight that it was maddening.

It's not just her face, her whole body has been completely transformed!
As if suddenly realizing something, Lee Juri stared wide-eyed at herself in the mirror, her face appearing as if she had been given a beauty filter. A small smile spread across her face, and her eyes shone with excitement.

"This is insane... This is way too nourishing..."

Her voice trembled slightly as she murmured to herself, and even her fingers trembled slightly.

The next second, Li Juli suddenly turned around, barefoot on the floor, and ran out of the bathroom.

"Xiuyuan!!!!!"

Outside, Lin Xiuyuan was leaning against the headboard and had just opened his phone to browse the news when he was suddenly overwhelmed by Li Juli's forceful pounce.

"Um..."

Before she could even utter a word, her lips were sealed shut.

Lee Juri threw herself on him, kissing his face, mouth, and nose with gusto, so much so that he could hardly breathe.

"Wait, what's wrong...?"

Lin Xiuyuan was completely bewildered. He tried to avoid her passionate kiss, but he was firmly suppressed and had no power to resist.

Lee Juri didn't answer immediately, but instead nestled against his chest, looking up at him with eyes that seemed to sparkle.

“Xiuyuan…you…” Her voice was filled with barely suppressed elation, “You are simply, simply the best of the best tonics.”

"?"

Lin Xiuyuan was even more confused. Wasn't this something he already knew?

“I knew this would happen, but I didn’t expect it to be so shocking…” Lee Juri was so excited that she was almost incoherent.

"Cough cough cough... Calm down..." Lin Xiuyuan was so excited that his head was about to explode, then he smiled and hugged her.

"I can't calm down." Li Juli hugged his head and kissed him hard again. "What kind of top-notch man are you, Xiuyuan? I can't live without you, really, I can't live without you for the rest of my life."

"So wouldn't you call this repaying kindness with enmity, Juli?" Lin Xiuyuan said, both amused and exasperated.

"What do you mean by repaying kindness with enmity? I'm going to pin you down right now and lock you in my room for a month."

"Is this taking care of me, or imprisoning me?"

"We'll raise them for use," Lee Juri said firmly. "Like raising pigs, the kind that's intensively raised!!"

Lin Xiuyuan burst out laughing after hearing this, letting her lie on him like a contented kitten, kissing and rubbing against him, not wanting to get down at all.

In the golden morning light, the air above the entire island echoed with Li Juli's voice, a mix of wild laughter and coquettishness.

"I don't care, Xiuyuan~ you're finished, I'm yours now, no, you're mine now."
