Chapter 240 The Little Pranks of the Dragon Cub After "Coming Back to Life" (Please Subscribe and Vote)
Inside the villa.

Only after Lin Xiuyuan hung up the phone did Da Longzai dare to raise his head, his little face still a little red, his expression showing embarrassment and awkwardness. "Oh no, next time we meet, will Jessica say something about me?"

"So what? You and Krystal have been at odds for a while now, so it doesn't matter if Jessica knows this. Besides, why is she nagging about our business?"

Lin Xiuyuan put his phone aside and answered Da Longzai's question softly, his eyes fixed on the movie screen in front of him.

The little dragon noticed something was off, tilted its head, and stared at Lin Xiuyuan suspiciously. "Wait a minute, Xiuyuan~ do you and Jessica have some kind of conflict? This tone feels nine-tenths off."

"Why are you being so gossipy? You never asked me any other questions before."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan looked down at the little dragon and said with a smile.

The previous dragon cub really didn't care about him at all.

The topics they talked about were mostly about the two of them, or about Lee Qri, Sweet Eunjung's work, and some interesting stories they saw online.

They rarely inquire about or pay attention to Lin Xiuyuan's private life.

Unless Lin Xiuyuan doesn't show up for a long time, he'll ask a few questions out of curiosity, and once he finds out there's nothing wrong, he'll ignore it again.

At this moment, the other party spoke without any attempt to hide it, "That's because before I only wanted your body."

As he spoke, Da Longzai suddenly leaned down and gently lifted his jawline with his fingertips, his eyes bright and direct, "It's different now, Xiuyuan~ I'm starting to crave you a little."

"Ji-yeon, that's a bit scary."

Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of teasing in his eyes, and gently poked her forehead.

“Where is it scary? This shows that I took it to heart.”

The little dragon puffed out its cheeks, but its eyes were excessively serious, like a judge delivering a verdict.

But her voice was also sweet and soft, "Let me tell you, you can't hide anything from me anymore. Just tell me if you have something to say. I can handle a lot of things."

As she said this, her eyes sparkled, as if she wanted to see right through his expression.

In the past, Da Longzai could pretend to be indifferent and ignore what Lin Xiuyuan was hiding or concealing.

It doesn't matter. If the puppy misbehaves, she can always kick him out and get a new one.

But that's no longer possible; she's really taken a liking to this young man.

So as soon as he finished speaking, Da Longzai threw himself into Lin Xiuyuan's arms, wrapped his arms tightly around his waist, and said in a voice as soft as melting sugar, "Come on, Xiuyuan~ let's go back to 2013 for dinner. I'll wear a mask and hat, and it should be fine."

Lin Xiuyuan chuckled, "Everyone else wears a mask when they go out."

"A mask?" The dragon cub, who had exclaimed in surprise, suddenly paused, his eyes widening as if he remembered something. "Is that the one we met when we had dinner last time? Oh, so that one was also from 2013?"

"Yes, it's Xiuyan."

Lin Xiuyuan nodded, his eyes flashing slightly.

"Jessica? Xiuyan?" The little dragon immediately sat up straight, his eyes wide open, his tone carrying a hint of gossip.

"Jessica Jung, Jessica Jung in 2013."

Lin Xiuyuan coughed lightly, then suddenly remembered something and looked up at her. "By the way, Zhiyan, do you want to think of a name for us? To avoid us calling each other by the wrong names when we meet, it's common for the same person to have their own name or nickname."

"For example, Yoona unnie and Lin Xiaolu, and Jessica Jung and Jessica?"

The little dragon blinked, propped his chin on his hand, and asked curiously, "Does Krystal use English or Korean here?"

"In English." Lin Xiuyuan smiled.

The little dragon asked again, "Where's Eun-jung unnie?"

"Ham Eun-jung and Sweet Eun-jung, hahaha."

He laughed out loud, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Then I don't care."

The little dragon immediately wrapped his arms around his neck, tilted his chin up proudly, and looked at him with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I'll use Park Jiyeon. Who told that little brat to lose to me last night?"

After a few seconds of staring at each other, the two finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then they came up with a very simple acknowledgment: Big Jiyeon and Little Jiyeon, or Big Dragon Cub and Little Dragon Cub, simple and straightforward.

……

……

As night fell, the streets of Hongdae in 2013 lit up with lights, and the food stalls along the street set up one by one, filling the air with the aroma of grilled meat and hot soup.

Lin Xiuyuan and Dalongzai walked side by side on the sidewalk. One walked openly, while the other wore a mask and hat, completely covered up.

Fortunately, due to the recent flu outbreak in Seoul, many people on the streets are wearing masks, which has attracted a lot of attention.

It was just that the big dragon cub's tall and sexy figure attracted the attention of many men.

"Oh dear, dressed like this makes me look like a thief."

Da Longzai couldn't help but chuckle in a low voice, his eyes curving into crescents. "If our fans recognize us, we'll probably be on the front page of the news tomorrow."

Lin Xiuyuan put his hands in his pockets and glanced at her sideways. "Headlines? No, if you get recognized and it's confirmed, there won't be any news about us tomorrow. We'll be taken straight to the research lab and become subjects of dissection."

"Hmph~ Xiu Yuan, you're not allowed to scare me!"

The little dragon gave him a light kick, but still quietly reached out and hooked his fingertips.

Under the streetlights, even though Da Longzai was wearing a mask, you could still see the light in her signature eyes.

She was bright and smiling, but her eyes were fixed on the boy with a tenderness that seemed to drown him.

"Wow! That grilled fish cake over there smells so good!"

Suddenly, the little dragon was attracted by the street stalls and tugged at Lin Xiuyuan's sleeve as he ran over.

The shop owner greeted the two with a smile, "A young couple, huh? Guy, be a gentleman, you should buy your girlfriend what she likes."

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Dalongzai nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's right~ Boss, you really know how to talk."

Lin Xiuyuan chuckled, rubbed her shoulder, and said with a smile, "Then I'll have a grilled fish cake, boss."

"That's more like it, just a moment."

The owner was very happy to have sold a snack and immediately started preparing it.

As the steaming fish cake soup was served, Da Longzai held it in his hands, his eyes lit up, and after taking a sniff, he squinted his eyes with great satisfaction, "It smells so good, this is life."

However, because of the mask, she didn't eat it, but instead held the bamboo skewer to Lin Xiuyuan's mouth, saying, "Xiuyuan, you try it."

Lin Xiuyuan lowered his head and took a bite, then laughed and said, "It's like you're saying there's no grilled fish cake to eat over there. Why are you in such a good mood tonight?"

“It’s different. The environment and atmosphere, even the air, are different in the two places. This place makes me happy without even realizing it.” Da Longzai leaned gently against Lin Xiuyuan’s chest, his voice very soft. “It’s like this place can stimulate my nerves invisibly, making my whole body tremble and feel excited.”

As she spoke, she grabbed Lin Xiuyuan's hand and placed it on her chest.

Lin Xiuyuan could feel her heart pounding rapidly throughout, and the warm current flowing back and forth along his spine.

Lin Xiuyuan looked down at the large woman in his arms who was wearing a mask.

Her eyes curved like a crescent moon, as if they held a whole sea of ​​stars, while his palms were warm, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to numb his hands. In that instant, he suddenly remembered her in 2025.

When we first met, he was quiet, mature, and a little bit crazy.

Even when she smiles, the smile seems veiled by a thin mist, faint and elusive.

It's like a few strokes of colored oil paint casually added to a gray canvas; the colors are bright, but the canvas itself remains dull.

But it's different now.

In the darkness of 2013, the little dragon cub, clutching his hand tightly, was breathing heavily, his eyes were shining brightly, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst through the world.

Vibrant and lively, it has an almost overwhelming sense of presence.

Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile, his voice low but tinged with laughter, "Zhiyan, the feeling you give me right now is... that you've completely come back to life."

The little dragon was stunned for a moment, its eyes widening slightly, before it couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Oh my, Xiu Yuan~ So what did you think I was before? Wasn't I a living person?"

Lin Xiuyuan shook his head, his gaze gentle yet earnest. "Before, it was like being transformed from a gloomy scene into a colorful oil painting. You could see the colors and feel the warmth, but deep down you always felt something was missing."

He paused, looked down into her eyes, and lowered his voice, "Only now do I truly feel your vibrant attitude towards life and sense the breath of a living person."

As the night breeze blew by, under the streetlights, the smile in Da Longzai's eyes instantly turned into a moist, shimmering light.

A bittersweet feeling welled up in her heart, as if all her defenses had been gently shattered at that moment.

"Xiuyuan..."

She called out softly, her voice trembling slightly, yet filled with undisguised joy.

The next second, she suddenly took off her mask, stood on tiptoe, leaned in, and planted a hard kiss on his lips.

"I'm truly alive now, all thanks to you."

After saying that, she quickly shrank back, put her mask back on, and her eyes darted around nervously, looking as guilty as a thief.

They were terrified of being caught and dissected.

Lin Xiuyuan paused for two seconds, then chuckled and put his arm around her shoulder. "Don't worry, it's not that exaggerated. There are plenty of women in Seoul who have had plastic surgery to look like you, and many of them are quite similar."

The little dragon blinked, paused for a moment, then burst out laughing, "So you were just trying to scare me before."

"How can this be considered intimidation? This is called informing."

"Alright, fine. Doggy, let's keep going and eat the next delicious thing. I'm going to eat my fill tonight to replenish my energy. Let's keep going all out tonight, okay, Xiuyuan~"

"Change it."

"What should we change it to?"

"How about black stockings~"

……

……

It was past three in the morning, and the lights were dim in the bedroom of the 25-year-old villa.

Lin Xiuyuan's breathing was still a little disordered, and fine beads of sweat hung on his forehead.

The little dragon was curled up limply in the blankets, its eyes red and a lazy smile on its lips, like a little dinosaur that had just eaten its fill.

After feeling comfortable, she got up a moment later, tidied her messy hair, and patted the arm of the person next to her. "Don't lie there. Take me home. You still have to pick up Xiujing later. If she sees this, she'll argue with me again."

"Huh? So what is this...?"

"I'm just showing her a little respect, so I won't make a scene in front of you and put you in a difficult position."

The little dragon hummed softly, gently considering Lin Xiuyuan's feelings while seemingly still savoring the "punishment with stockings" from earlier.

Then she snuggled against him for a moment, and said, "Okay, take me home."

Soon, the dragon cub that passed through the time portal returned to its apartment in the blink of an eye, while Lin Xiuyuan returned to the villa and drove towards Incheon Airport.

Outside the car window, the night was gradually turning white. At four o'clock, the streets of Seoul were deserted and quiet. The occasional taxis passing by under the streetlights and the neon lights of convenience stores seemed particularly lonely.

As he parked his car and walked into the airport terminal, drowsiness suddenly overwhelmed him.

So, leaning against the railing at the gate, he couldn't help but yawn, his eyelids drooping.

But the "stocking pleasure" that the dragon cub had given him was still echoing in his mind.

The touch, the temperature, the soft moans of her breath, and those long, almost perfect legs wrapped in a thin veil…

Thinking of this, a mischievous smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, which somewhat dispelled his drowsiness.

"What are you laughing at? You seem so happy, Xiuyuan~"

Suddenly, a clear, slightly weary voice rang in my ears.

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up, only to find that Krystal, whom he had originally planned to surprise, was already standing in front of him.

The other person was wearing a black mask, with their hair loosely tied in a ponytail. Their brows and eyes showed signs of fatigue from just getting off a plane, but their eyes were still bright.

"That gossipy Unnie told you about my situation again. I was thinking of giving you a surprise."

Krystal, who was saying this, had a slightly sharp look in her eyes, and her gaze lingered on his face for a moment.

Then she suddenly reached out and poked his neck near his collarbone with her fingertip, "Hey, Xiuyuan~ what were you doing just now?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an innate coldness, as if it saw everything and had no intention of letting anything go.

Lin Xiuyuan's heart tightened, and he instinctively shrank back, feeling very guilty, as if that little secret "trace" was about to be exposed on the spot.

"Uh...me?"

He forced himself to remain calm, but his lips twitched slightly, and his smile was a bit stiff. "Of course I was sleeping just now. What do you think I could be doing at four in the morning?"

Krystal squinted and stared at him for several seconds, as if trying to see right through him.

However, in the end she simply pursed her lips, glanced at him slightly, and said in a low voice, "That would be for the best."

After saying that, he pulled his luggage and walked forward.

Lin Xiuyuan, standing behind him, touched his neck and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

Meanwhile, the little dragon cub, who was lying down in the apartment, seemed to have thought of something and excitedly turned over.

A silent greeting from her, or perhaps a little prank.

It's working right now: Good morning, Krystal!
