Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 238 [A Good Show in the Duel of Two Dragons] (10,000-word key chapter, please subscribe and vote)
Inside the apartment.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense as the dragon cub uttered his provocative words.

Park Jiyeon stared intently at the "herself" in front of her, her eyes gradually turning cold, her tone low yet carrying a sharp edge.

"Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect this... I actually saw a woman in her thirties before going to bed. I'm a little worried that I'll have nightmares tonight."

Instead of getting angry at this answer, the little dragon laughed, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deliberately light tone, "Me? Haha—compared to you, your complexion and skin condition make you look more like someone in their thirties."

As she spoke, she lightly pinched her smooth, delicate face with her fingertips, a hint of provocation in her expression.

The added charm of a mature, sophisticated woman and a wife gave Da Longzai an air of intimidation.

In terms of looks and temperament alone, the slightly immature Park Ji-yeon at this time really couldn't beat her.

That's why Park Jiyeon's gaze suddenly sharpened, and a cold smirk appeared on her lips. She raised her hand and tore off a corner of the face mask with a "tsk" sound, the movement swift and decisive.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's fight."

The little dragon wasn't annoyed, though. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "Oh, just as I thought, a little brat. He can't win an argument, so he resorts to fighting."

The smell of gunpowder in the air was almost visible to the naked eye, as if it could explode at any moment.

Shirley was laughing so hard she almost choked. She crouched down and shrank behind the sofa, her shoulders shaking.

Lin Xiuyuan's temple throbbed, and he silently prayed, "Calm down, calm down, please don't do anything..."

But the next second, Park Jiyeon suddenly stepped forward, her eyes burning, and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, are you going to fight or not? The winner takes all, and the other one can't keep arguing."

The little dragon's lips curled up, and he easily flicked his wrist, his eyes flashing with excitement. "Great, just what I wanted."

Then, Park Jiyeon immediately turned around and went back to her room, saying, "I'm going to change my clothes."

The big dragon cub behind him wasn't about to back down, and laughter followed closely behind: "Get me one too, a looser one. After all, my figure is much better than it was ten years ago."

Park Jiyeon paused as she reached the master bedroom door, her shoulders visibly stiffening, before striding into the room, her back view radiating genuine anger.

As Park Jiyeon's figure disappeared into the bedroom, Lin Xiuyuan, feeling uneasy, couldn't help but look at Da Longzai, "Are you serious? I didn't expect you two to be all lovey-dovey when you met, but isn't this offline PK a bit too harsh?"

The little dragon turned to look at him, his smile remarkably confident. "Don't worry, Xiuyuan. I know my own personality better than you do. Nothing will happen."

As she spoke, she gently released Lin Xiuyuan's arm and walked alone in the apartment that had been sold several years later.

The familiar scene stirred up waves of emotion within her, as memories and feelings surged up all at once.

I felt a mix of emotions, including a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings) and 感动 (gǎnd

When the little dragon turned back to look at Lin Xiuyuan again, his already gentle eyes suddenly became filled with deep affection.

An irresistible thought flashed through her mind: how perfect would her life be if she had married Xiuyuan?
Thinking of this, the little dragon couldn't help but ask, "Xiuyuan, why didn't you open the gate a few years earlier? It would have been so much better if you had opened it in 21."

Unlike Eun-jung, she didn't yearn for 2013 to come early; instead, she cared more about the changes in 2025.

In her eyes, 2013 was a starting point that could rewrite everything, while 2025... was the abyss where she would fall hard.

Lin Xiuyuan frowned slightly and gave a wry smile, "I would like to, but it's not up to me to decide."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the master bedroom opened with a "snap".

Park Jiyeon had already changed into a neat tracksuit, exuding a cold and stern aura. She was also tossing another set of clothes in her hand, which she then threw directly to Da Longzai.

She was even more blunt: "I wonder if you can even pull off sportswear? After all, it's a style for young people. For older women, all they can rely on is showing off their arms and legs, otherwise nobody will look at them."

At this point, Park Jiyeon's lips curled into a cold smile, "Of course, pretending to be young is always better than looking old at a glance...

At this moment, Shirley was so excited that she clenched her fists and her eyes were shining.

She would never dare to write such sharp and witty banter in a script, let alone in real life. It's like a battle between gods, leaving mortals in the dust.

Lin Xiuyuan secretly scratched the corner of his eye, inwardly groaning, and dared not speak again.

As for the sarcastic remark about the "big dragon cub" made by Park Jiyeon, he didn't get angry. He just smiled calmly and didn't respond directly. Instead, he casually asked, "Where are you fighting? Is there a venue?"

Park Jiyeon seized the opportunity and scoffed, "Oh, after working so hard for over ten years, someone can't even find a private venue and needs young people to come and find one? If it were me, I'd probably just crawl into a hole and hide. After all, it would be a waste of all these years."

hiss~
One second Lin Xiuyuan was scratching the corner of his eye, the next second he simply closed his eyes. If he could, he would also want to block out his ears.

Could he possibly bear to hear these words?

Looking at his younger self, Da Longzai, with his full power unleashed, smiled even more brightly, as radiant as the summer sun. "What I mean is, it would have been better to fight in 13. If you had fallen then, it would have been easier for Xiuyuan to take you to the hospital, instead of having to run around all the time."

"No way, no way, you really can't find a venue?" Park Jiyeon completely ignored the other person's explanation and focused on one point, mocking them mercilessly.

In the past two months, she has practiced her sarcastic and sarcastic tone on short videos.

This made the usually calm and collected dragon cub laugh with genuine anger.

She turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan, her eyes filled with a mix of provocation and coquettishness, "Xiuyuan, can we go?"

When asked, Lin Xiuyuan cautiously explained the situation: "I'm fine with anything, but there's a condition: there can't be any surveillance cameras or outsiders, otherwise you'll be finished as soon as you show up."

“There’s nothing we can do about it. All the venues I’ve been able to access in the past 25 years have surveillance cameras.” Da Longzai frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Park Jiyeon wanted to say something more after hearing that, but she couldn't resist the urge to hit him, so she said directly, "Forget it, I knew I couldn't rely on older people. Oppa, take us to the venue where you picked me up. There's no one there, and there are no security cameras."

"Should we go straight there?" Lin Xiuyuan asked.

"Yes, just go straight there. I just asked the curator inside, and they've all gone back. There's no one inside anymore."

After Park Jiyeon finished speaking, Lin Xiuyuan stopped rambling and led the group through the villa's anchor point, jumping back to the venue where they had gone to find Park Jiyeon on the day they had a late-night snack.

Meanwhile, Da Longzai was at the villa, where he changed his clothes and put on a hat to cover his face.

As it turned out, Park Jiyeon was right. The venue was completely dark, with the power off, let alone any surveillance cameras.

Then Park Ji-yeon told Lin Xiu-yuan not to turn on the power switch, but instead led the group into another small room along the corridor lights and turned on the room's independent power switch.

As the lights in the entire room instantly turned on, the bright room environment came into view.

The cushions were neatly laid out, and the protective gear was all in place.

Then Park Jiyeon's voice rang out, "Let's fight here. This is the disciplinary office. There are no windows or back doors. Oppa, you guys just need to guard the door for us. We can run away anytime someone comes."

Lin Xiuyuan and Shirley, who were assigned to guard the door, stood to one side, observing the scene before them with their eyes wide open, not daring to blink.

Park Ji-yeon and the big dragon boy wearing a hat took the initiative to move the soft cushions to the ground, their movements were quick and efficient, just like a rehearsal in front of the stage.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but ask, "Jiyeon~ are you guys serious?"

The little dragon turned around and smiled, his tone teasing, "Don't worry, Xiu Yuan~ I won't go too far."

Park Jiyeon's eyes were firm, and she smiled slightly, "Oppa, I'll try to avoid her face."

After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other, one sneered and the other smiled faintly, their auras clashing like sparks flying.

However, before the fight started, at Lin Xiuyuan's insistence, the two of them put on the two sets of protective gear in the corner.

A few minutes later, Da Longzai put on his protective gear, gently moved his wrists and ankles, shook his head, and a hearty smile appeared under the brim of his hat.
He was both confident and excited about the impending battle.

Park Jiyeon tightened the straps of her protective gear, making a crisp snap as if announcing the start of a battle.

Lin Xiuyuan and Shirley leaned against the door, their faces showing they couldn't be persuaded anymore.

The moment their eyes met, a voice came from beside them.

"let's start."

As Park Jiyeon spoke, she took the lead and launched a swift horizontal kick at the giant dragon cub opposite her.

The little dragon's eyes lit up, and it dodged to the side.

With light and quick steps, she swung her leg back, forcing Park Jiyeon, who was rushing forward, to take a half step back.

Then he stood still and looked at Park Jiyeon with amusement, "Tsk, your legs are pretty strong. Looks like you haven't fallen behind in your studies, little brat."

"Oh, so you know you're old? No wonder you needed oppa's help to walk just now, you couldn't walk on your own, right?" Park Jiyeon sneered as she suddenly raised her knee and struck her opponent's side.

The little dragon gritted its teeth and took the hit head-on. Its body swayed slightly from the shock, but it quickly regained its balance and its smile widened even more.

"Are you envious or jealous? I have Xiuyuan helping me out, but what about you? You haven't even managed to get a man yet, have you?"

"Ha, relying on men is considered a skill? You're so pathetic. I don't want to end up like you, being..."

Park Jiyeon retorted coldly, but she cautiously left her words unfinished. Instead, she lowered her body and suddenly swept out with a whirlwind kick.

Seeing this, the little dragon quickly ducked to avoid it, and at the same time kicked Park Ji-yeon's protective gear, making a dull "bang" sound.

Meanwhile, the sarcastic remarks never stopped: "Useless? Sorry, I'm 'enjoying life' instead of some little brats who can only train their legs alone, drenched in sweat."

"At least I don't have to worry about wrinkles."

Before she could finish speaking, Park Jiyeon rushed forward again, blocking the opponent's kick with her arm and delivering a close-range elbow strike.

The little dragon blocked with his hand, his body being knocked back two steps, but a smile was on his lips, his voice steady, "Oh? You don't have to worry about wrinkles, right? Do I look like I do? That's because you're not qualified to use anything other than a face mask, little brat."

"Looking for a fight..."

Park Jiyeon snorted angrily, turned her foot, and raised her leg with fierce momentum, delivering three consecutive kicks as fast as the wind.

As the little dragon retreated, he blocked the blows, his protective gear thumping loudly as it was kicked. Finally, he took a kick head-on and was forced into a corner.

However, she merely wiped her mouth with her hand, her smile growing even more unrestrained. "Youth is an advantage, but experience is the real trump card. Kid, watch closely."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly burst into action, stomping her foot on the ground and delivering a beautiful spinning back kick aimed straight at her opponent's shoulder.

Park Jiyeon hastily crossed her arms to block, but was still forced back several steps, leaving marks on the mat with her feet.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and sweat, creating a tense atmosphere.

The scene left Lin Xiuyuan stunned. He muttered with his mouth agape, "Something terrible has happened, Sherry. This isn't a friendly spar, it's a full-blown fight!"

Sulli covered her mouth and chuckled, "Don't worry, oppa, at least they know not to slap you in the face."

In the arena, Da Longzai and Park Jiyeon spoke up almost simultaneously.

"Come on, old woman."

"What a joke, just a little kid."

The two figures collided violently again, their protective gear striking each other with a dull thud, sparks flying everywhere.

Both of them were forced back, their footsteps making a squeaking sound on the mat.

Park Jiyeon was half-squatting, her arms resting on her knees, breathing rapidly, and sweat dripping down her chin.

Her eyes were sharp, like those of a leopard cub that had been thoroughly enraged.

The little dragon was also slightly out of breath. He raised his hand and tugged at his protective gear, his movements languid, but a cheerful smile was on his lips.

The sweat on her forehead glistened under the light, but her gaze remained as steady as a mountain. "Wow, youthful vigor is certainly impressive, but isn't that breathing a bit too fast?"

"hehe."

Park Jiyeon sneered, wiped her sweat, and straightened up. "Stop talking nonsense. Being able to lift your legs is the real skill. You're not up now, are you? Do you want to rest a bit, so you don't end up lying on the ground unable to get up later?"

"Rest?" The little dragon gently raised its chin and suddenly smiled charmingly, "But you're right, my legs were probably lifted by Xiu Yuan. It was a waste of energy to lift my legs for you."

Park Jiyeon narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips tightly, "Besides oppa, you have no other sense of superiority, huh, you old woman..."

After saying that, she suddenly raised her foot and stomped heavily on the mat with a dull "bang," as if announcing the start of the next round of battle.

Stop using oppa as a bragging point.

Before Park Jiyeon could finish speaking, a horizontal kick swept towards the dragon cub like lightning.

The little dragon reacted very quickly, blocking with both arms and slipping on its feet to get close and try to take him down.

"Hmph." Park Jiyeon twisted her body suddenly, raising her knee to strike.

The little dragon barely turned its head, its nose brushing against her knee, and instantly smelled the fresh, clean scent of her sweat after her shower, giving it a slight jolt.

"That was ruthless..."

The little dragon, having taken a few steps back, narrowed its eyes, its smile full of danger. "We agreed not to hit faces. If you start first, then I won't be polite, little brat."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Park Jiyeon sneered, then spun around and delivered a clean and crisp spinning back kick, the wind whistling through the air and making people's cheeks go numb.

She coldly uttered, "The winner takes all. Let's see if you still have a man then."

boom!
The kick was blocked by the big dragon cub, and the dragon was forced to take a half step back.

Then the little dragon suddenly laughed, his laughter carrying a condescending mockery, "Oh ho, I'm so scared, little brat, you probably don't understand yet, you can't stop a man, you have to keep him."

After saying that, she turned her head and deliberately gave Lin Xiuyuan at the door a look, her charming eyes making people's hearts flutter.

"you……"

Park Jiyeon was so angry that her face turned red, her chest heaved violently, and her wet bangs clung to her face.

Then, gritting her teeth, she said fiercely, "Then why didn't you keep your ex-husband? Was it because you couldn't keep him, or were you blind?"

These words were like a sharp thorn, piercing straight into the heart of the little dragon.

The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.

The next second, the dragon cub's smile turned completely cold, and his eyes became as sharp as knives.

"Long-winded."

This phrase seems to have become a common saying between the two 'Jiyeon's'.

After uttering those two words, the dragon cub suddenly accelerated.

He took a step forward, closed in, and feinted with his arm.

Taking advantage of Park Jiyeon's subconscious raising of her hand to defend, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and delivered a sweeping kick.

"what……"

Park Jiyeon, caught off guard by the sudden loss of balance, crashed heavily onto the soft mat.

But the big dragon cub didn't give her any chance to catch her breath. It pounced on her with swift and decisive movements, locking her arm with a backhand armbar and pressing its knee firmly against her waist.

boom……

Another sound.

The body landed heavily, and the air in the stadium seemed to explode, instantly filling the space with tension.

"hiss……"

Lin Xiuyuan gasped for breath at the doorway, his palms sweating.

Then Shirley's eyes widened, and she was so excited that she almost clapped and cheered, but unfortunately her hands were full.

On the soft mat, Park Jiyeon struggled, her face flushed red, her arms tightly locked, unable to move at all.

"open……"

She twisted with all her might, but only managed to get herself pressed even tighter.

The little dragon leaned down, his face only centimeters away from hers. Their breaths mingled, but his voice was extremely soft, carrying a relaxed sense of victory. "Let go? So you're admitting defeat, little brat?"

"This isn't Taekwondo at all. You're cheating. It doesn't count."

Locked up, Park Jiyeon slapped the other person's thigh with a look of dissatisfaction, and even looked like she wanted to bite it, but she held back in the end, so she could only protest.

"Kids will be kids. We agreed to fight. It doesn't matter what moves I use to beat you, as long as I win."

In the end, Da Longzai curled the corners of his mouth, his smile as cunning as a fox, "Look, I have more than ten years of life experience than you, and that's what shows. Sometimes strength alone is useless; skill is the most important thing."

As soon as she finished speaking, she applied a little more force to her hand.

Park Jiyeon, who was restrained, groaned in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to give in.

Even though her fists were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white, she still refused to slap the ground and admit defeat.

So stubborn.

Fortunately, Lin Xiuyuan walked over at this moment, gently patted the two men's arms and thighs, and interrupted the tense atmosphere. "Alright, alright, that's enough. It's not a life-or-death struggle, right?"

The little dragon cub, who hadn't originally planned to continue, saw Lin Xiuyuan come over and speak, so he took the opportunity to release his grip, turned over and got up, and deliberately threw a sweet voice at him, "Xiuyuan~ don't you think I won? This little brat is just being stubborn and won't admit defeat."

Park Jiyeon, now free, snorted and flung her wrist away. "I didn't! I could definitely break free just now!"

It's just a muscle strain or dislocation at most; she can bear it.

However, Lin Xiuyuan quickly made an excuse, "Alright, that's enough. It's about time to go back. I think I just heard footsteps. If someone really comes in, it will be hard to explain."

These words made the two men shudder, and they ultimately stopped, thus ending the contest.

After getting up, the little dragon slowly unfastened its protective gear, its chest still rising and falling slightly, but its expression was very relaxed.

On the other hand, Park Jiyeon had sweat dripping down her temples, her cheeks burning, and her eyes filled with resentment.

Just then, Lin Xiuyuan caught a glimpse of something to the side and froze instantly.

Shirley was holding a DV camera, the red dot on the lens still flashing, pointed directly at the scene.

Her smile was as radiant as a spring flower, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she muttered to herself, "This is a one-of-a-kind video; I have to treasure it!"

"Sherry, Sherry?!" Lin Xiuyuan was stunned. He rushed to her side, his voice low but urgent, "When did you get a DV camera?"

"what……"

Shirley winked mischievously, clutching the DV camera tightly and refusing to let go, grinning smugly, "I just grabbed it on my way back to my room from the apartment, and I knew I'd taken the right one!"

As she spoke, she deliberately turned the camera in that direction, focusing on the two people who were still removing their protective gear, and smiled even more brightly.

The tension in the stadium didn't dissipate after the game ended; instead, it continued to burn.

The verbal sparring between the two continued.

The little dragon lifted his helmet, letting his long hair fall down. He brushed aside the stray hairs and smiled lazily and provocatively. "Little brat, I remember when I was young, I wasn't like you, stubbornly refusing to admit defeat even when you can't win."

Park Jiyeon was pulling on the straps of her leg wraps when she heard this. She looked up abruptly, her eyes blazing with anger, and sneered.

"Heh, you old woman, what do you know about cheating? I haven't even gone all out yet. If oppa hadn't told me to stop, I would have beaten you so badly you wouldn't be able to get out of bed tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, the little dragon paused, then suddenly chuckled softly.

Then she ripped off her wristband, her tone both ambiguous and sharp, "Really good. If I had your stubbornness and sharp tongue right now, Xiu Yuan would definitely love me even more."

"ah……"

Park Jiyeon's eyes widened with anger, and her voice rose: "You keep calling me 'little kid, little kid,' I think some people only keep talking about what they've lost, right? Old woman...you're not starting to lose your hair, are you? I remember that only happens after menopause, no way, no way~"

After saying that, she smiled provocatively and deliberately made a shedding motion with her hand.

Shirley almost burst out laughing, her shoulders shaking like drumsticks.

Lin Xiuyuan kept covering his face, silently pleading: Please stop talking...

However, the dragon cub's counterattack was even more vicious.

She slowly fastened her clothes, looked up at Park Jiyeon with a sharp and mocking gaze, and smirked, "Heh, little brat, have you forgotten that I am your future self? You dare ask me whether you lose your hair or not? You probably really want me to make it public, don't you?"

She deliberately lowered her voice and slowly added, "Besides, there is indeed a spot where I'm bald... so that when we kiss, I won't prick my mouth. You don't even know that, do you? Oh, you definitely don't know, no wonder nobody wants you. Men don't like little brats who haven't finished shedding their pubic hair."

"you!!!"

These words struck Park Jiyeon like a hammer blow, instantly making her blush red to the roots of her ears.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes sharpened, and his whole body leaned forward slightly.

Just as they were about to pounce, the atmosphere in the stadium instantly froze.

This situation startled Lin Xiuyuan so much that his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly whispered, "Stop fighting! It looks like someone is really coming."

"Click——"

As they heard soft footsteps coming from the hallway, the group instantly realized what was happening.

Shirley's first reaction was to stuff the DV into her arms, muttering "a rare find," while still wearing an excited smile on her face.

Da Longzai and Park Jiyeon glared at each other fiercely, as if ready to continue the fight at any moment, but still neatly removed their last protective gear and threw it on the ground.

Lin Xiuyuan rushed over and turned off the power, plunging the entire room into darkness instantly.

With a creak, the door opened, and the four of them squeezed out of the room, arriving at the villa 25 years later.

"Crack~"

The door closed, and Lin Xiuyuan turned to look at the three figures in front of him, asking with a mix of amusement and headache, "Alright, is tonight over?"

"Oppa~ How could you have thought of recruiting this woman into the cult? What a waste of resources."

Park Jiyeon shook her sore arms, her breathing not yet fully calmed, and a feeling of tightness in her chest that she couldn't shake off.

He glanced furtively at the little dragon out of the corner of his eye, gritting his teeth.

She never expected to lose.

No, it's not about losing.

That old woman cheated, using tricks I hadn't even learned yet; she was indeed cunning.

The little dragon raised his eyes, the corners of his eyes curving slightly, his smile carrying a hint of blatant boasting, "How could that be? I can bring Xiu Yuan joy that you, a little brat, wouldn't even dare to dream of."

After saying that, she deliberately snuggled into Lin Xiuyuan's arms, tightly hugging his arm, their close physical contact being excessively intimate.

Park Jiyeon bristled again, her eyes widening, her brows furrowed, and her voice rising, "What else do you have besides this old body? Old woman!"

As she spoke, she looked the other person up and down, her eyes filled with disdain, and even a small, sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.

The little dragon cub smiled even more brightly, the corners of his lips slowly rising, his voice light yet every word piercing, "There are techniques too~ Otherwise, how could I have easily beaten you with techniques just now, little brat, don't you think so?"

When she said the word "win," she emphasized it, accompanied by a meaningful look in her eyes, as if silently reminding Park Jiyeon of her disheveled appearance when she was locked to the ground.

"..."

Park Jiyeon's breathing clearly caught in her throat, her face flushed instantly, and she stared intently at the little dragon cub, her fists clenched so tightly her knuckles turned white.

He clearly wanted to refute, but the words stuck in his throat, and no matter how he tried to argue, he seemed weak and powerless.

Seeing this, the little dragon's smile deepened, and a smug glint flashed in his eyes.

She even tilted her head slightly and made a playful eyebrow raise, "Little brat, you look even cuter when you're upset than when you lost."

The verbal sparring between the two was escalating when Lin Xiuyuan finally spoke, his tone low and tinged with helplessness, "Alright, stop fooling around. It's getting late tonight. Zhiyan, don't you have a schedule tomorrow? Let me take you home first."

"Ah, I don't have any plans, Xiuyuan~ I can spend some quality time with you tonight."

The little dragon asked the question knowingly, his tone laced with mockery.

After saying that, she looked at Park Jiyeon with feigned nonchalance, "Oh, so she's just a little kid. It's alright then, Xiuyuan, you can take her home."

"Oppa, I..."

"It's not a big deal if it takes a little more time. I'll talk to you again tomorrow after I'm done with my work, okay?" Lin Xiuyuan knew that Park Jiyeon was definitely upset, but he couldn't let it interfere with his work. It wasn't like he didn't have time.

So, after having Sulli wait with the little dragon at the villa, she turned around, opened the portal, and took Park Jiyeon back to her apartment.

The two returned to the apartment and closed the door.

Park Jiyeon looked at Lin Xiuyuan with a wronged expression, "Oppa~ she cheated."

"I didn't expect her to know Jiu-Jitsu either. I thought you had won before," Lin Xiuyuan sighed, offering gentle words of comfort.

Park Jiyeon pouted and muttered under her breath. Lin Xiuyuan followed up with concern, "But judging from the competition, you didn't lose. So Jiyeon, you can continue to practice and learn. Next time, you can let her hit the mat."

Hearing Lin Xiuyuan's words, Park Jiyeon knew that this oppa was comforting her, but she still smiled happily, "So oppa, do you dare to come with me now and say those words again in front of that person?"

"I wouldn't dare. I'd have to comfort you over there after I get there," Lin Xiuyuan replied honestly.

"Do we still need to comfort her?"

Park Jiyeon looked indignant. "I can't beat her, and I can't win an argument with her. And you still have to comfort me? Why should I? Where does she get the nerve to be so dramatic?"

"You'll have to ask yourself that, Zhiyan. You can't change your personality." Lin Xiuyuan looked at her with amusement.

Park Jiyeon, her face slightly flushed from the remark, lowered her head and let out a few heavy hums.

Then Lin Xiuyuan reached out and gently rubbed her head a few times. "Okay, don't be angry. The first thing Da Zhiyan thought of after learning about the time portal was you, your father, and your brother. You probably know that you won't have a good future, right? She didn't ask you to comfort her, so don't upset her."

With her head down, how could Park Jiyeon not know the situation? Ever since Ham Eunjung learned everything, she had been lecturing her.

But due to her personality, Park Jiyeon couldn't help herself once she got angry, so she muttered, "Who told her to drag you into this, oppa? If she hadn't said anything, I wouldn't be so angry."

After saying that, she looked up at Lin Xiuyuan with some resentment, "And oppa, how did you manage to be won over by this old woman?"

"Is it my fault? This was clearly your idea in the first place." Lin Xiuyuan said with amusement.

"Oppa, it's clearly your perverted freakishness that's the problem." Park Jiyeon snorted, frowning.

Lin Xiuyuan: "..."

After a moment of silence, he looked at Park Jiyeon and said in a gentle but teasing tone, "Let's look at it from another angle, Jiyeon. You don't want me to fall for you, do you?"

These words were like a key, instantly locking Park Jiyeon's lips. She was so angry that her face turned slightly red, but she had nothing to say.

Then, blushing, she sent Lin Xiuyuan back to where he was 25 years ago, leaving herself alone in the empty apartment, her mind replaying the scenes from the stadium.

His originally cold and hard expression slowly softened, and a light smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He murmured softly, as if a spring breeze had brushed past him.

"Welcome back."

……

Meanwhile, Lin Xiuyuan, who had returned to the villa 25 years ago, glanced at the living room where only Shirley was and asked curiously, "Where's Jiyeon?"

“She went upstairs to take a shower,” Shirley pointed upstairs.

"The 2st floor?"

"Third floor. Unnie just asked me where your master bedroom is, oppa, and I told her."

When Shirley said this, she gave Lin Xiuyuan a strange look, as if trying to gauge his reaction.

Lin Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Then I'll go up too. Shirley, you should get some rest as well. There's a lot to do tonight."

“Mm.” Sherry nodded.

Then, as he watched Lin Xiuyuan walk up the stairs, he suddenly turned back to look at himself, "Oh right, Shirley..."

"What's up, oppa~" Sulli asked curiously.

"Give me a copy of that video."

"Ah...hahahaha...okay, oppa~hahahaha."

Shirley covered her mouth and chuckled, looking both mischievous and expectant.

He thought to himself that if this video were to get out, it would definitely cause a small stir.

So she didn't use her phone to film, but a DV camera, since memory cards are still quite safe.

She has even imagined how Krystal, Yoona, Taeyeon, and others will react when they see this video.

The more I thought about it, the happier I became, until my eyes almost curved into crescent moons with laughter.

……

After saying that, Lin Xiuyuan quickly went up to the third floor.

The room was quiet, with only the soft sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of water, Lin Xiuyuan walked back into the bedroom, sat down in the corner of the room's relaxation area, and patiently scrolled through his phone, waiting.

Wow…

The sound of water gradually stopped.

A slight knocking sound came from inside the door, like fabric brushing against skin, or the soft thud of high heels hitting the ground.

Soon, the little dragon came out of the bathroom.

She wasn't wearing a bathrobe; instead, she had changed back into her black sleeveless top and light beige skirt.

Her long, fair legs shone brightly under the lights, and the red-soled high heels on her feet seemed to gently tap on Lin Xiuyuan's heart with every step.

She gently stroked her wet hair with one hand, while the other hand rested against the wall. Her eyes were half-closed, and a meaningful smile played on her lips.

Completely different from her fierceness and trash talk in the stadium just now, Da Longzai now exudes a unique charm and sense of control that comes with being a mature woman.

"Xiuyuan".

Her voice was low, carrying a languid and slightly trembling quality, as if she had just taken a bath.

"What happened tonight...it was so shocking to me."

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes darting around as if she wanted to say something, but then held back, her lips only slightly pursed.

"There are some things I don't want to ask now; I'll talk about them tomorrow."

She took two steps closer, the muffled clatter of her high heels echoing on the carpet in the room like an invisible rhythm.

Then, she slowly stretched out her long, fair legs and deliberately stopped in front of Lin Xiuyuan.

Her slender ankles looked especially charming against the backdrop of red-soled high heels. She slightly raised her toes, allowing the red soles of her shoes to come into full view of Lin Xiuyuan.

A slight curve to her lips made her smile even more alluring.

"Right now, all I want to do is... reward you properly."

The little dragon's voice was low, almost a murmur, but his eyes held a confident provocation and allure.

As Lin Xiuyuan sat on the single sofa, his heart felt like it had been struck when he saw Da Longzai's red-soled high heels approaching step by step.

The other person wasn't walking fast, but it was as if every step was perfectly timed, causing his heart to beat involuntarily.

"award?"

Lin Xiuyuan's voice was a little hoarse, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

The little dragon bent down, gently lifting his chin with his fingertips, his eyes both alluring and resolute.

"Hmm... a reward just for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she lifted her foot and lightly touched the wall with the tip of her shoe, trapping Lin Xiuyuan in a corner.

With a slight exertion, her long, slender legs caused her red-soled shoes to reflect light under the lamp, like a dazzling mark.

The next moment, Lin Xiuyuan finally couldn't resist and grabbed her waist.

His fingertips touched the boundary between his skin and the fabric, and the delicate warmth made his breath catch in his throat.

The little dragon chuckled lightly, its tone flippant, "Xiuyuan~ you've changed. Before, you were always waiting for me obediently, but now you've learned to take the initiative."

As she spoke, she suddenly spun around, raised her leg, and stepped onto the wall beside Lin Xiuyuan.

The red soles of the high heels face upwards, exuding an undeniable sense of provocation.

This pose, resembling a beautiful arc, perfectly accentuated her overall presence.

He stared at those long, defiant legs before him, the fire in his heart almost bursting through the shackles of reason.

As the dragon cub watched the change in his eyes, his smile deepened, and he slowly slid his fingertips down the dragon cub's chest, deliberately keeping his voice soft.

"What, I just praised you, and now you're afraid to continue? Or... are you planning to let me take the initiative until dawn? Of course, if you want, I'm not out of the question."

Her tone was deliberately provocative.

Lin Xiuyuan's response was direct.

He tightened his grip, pulling her into his arms.

The little dragon let out a muffled groan and then burst into laughter, its laughter full of teasing and satisfaction.

The corner light illuminated her high heels, which were raised high, creating a striking effect as they flew through the air, silently declaring that she had taken control of the night.

Outside the window, the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

The room was filled with the soft glow of the wall lamps, casting long, elongated shadows on the carpet and bed.

As the little dragon pulled Lin Xiuyuan up from the sofa, it suddenly took the initiative and pushed Lin Xiuyuan back to the bedside.

She knelt on the edge of the bed, raising one long, fair leg. The heel of her shoe clicked firmly on the edge of the sheet, the contrasting light appearing particularly dazzling in the dim light.

Then, she swiftly tore open Lin Xiuyuan's clothes, her movements swift and carrying a sense of oppression.

Lin Xiuyuan's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and the burning fire in his eyes almost burst forth.

Can I move?

His voice was so low it was almost dangerous.

The little dragon tilted its head back, laughing wildly, breathing rapidly, its eyes slightly reddened from suppressed emotions.

She lifted her foot and hooked it, her high heels pointing skyward like a victory flag, crashing into Lin Xiuyuan's eyes.

"No, I'll take the initiative tonight."

She murmured softly, with a deadly, seductive quality.

But this time Lin Xiuyuan could no longer back down, and his bending down was urgent and resolute.

In an instant, the only sounds in the room were their breathing and the suppressed, ambiguous sounds.

The high heels that Da Longzai wore the entire time seemed to ignite the night in the dim light, symbolizing the endless arrogance and irresistible power of the night.

The red bottom is facing the sky, and the magic power is boundless.
