Soon after, Krystal received a phone call saying that the publicity team had already set off, so she had to rush over to meet them.

So she said a few words to Lin Xiuyuan, then picked up her coat and went out.

Once her figure disappeared at the villa entrance, the lively atmosphere in the living room seemed to be muted, instantly becoming quieter, with only the low hum of the air conditioner and the light and shadow of sunlight streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows remaining.

But the little dragon cub clearly wasn't going to let things rest. She turned around and grabbed Lin Xiuyuan's sleeve, her eyes shining like a child who had just stolen candy, her tone filled with impatience, "Come on, Xiuyuan~ let's go up to the rooftop to see the swimming pool!"

Lin Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow and leaned back slightly. "It's just a swimming pool, what's so interesting about it? Aren't you afraid of getting a tan?"

"I'm scared." Da Longzai laughed so hard his cheekbones practically popped out, but he still excitedly grabbed his hand. "But I'm even more afraid of missing out on the fun places."

As she spoke, she walked towards the stairs, as if afraid he would change his mind, and pulled him away directly.

Lin Xiuyuan was both amused and exasperated by her persistence, so he could only sigh and agree, "Alright, alright, I'll lead the way."

As the rooftop door was pushed open, the 3 p.m. sunlight slanted down, and a slightly warm breeze carrying a fresh scent of leaves and cement wafted in, dispelling the stuffiness that had been lingering in the room.

The recently renovated roof is clean and tidy, with light-colored tiles reflecting soft light, and a small patch of grass makes the whole space feel refreshing and bright.

The L-shaped infinity pool in the center, more than ten meters long and five meters wide, lies quietly like a blue gem embedded on the rooftop.

To prevent dust and fallen leaves from getting into the pool, an automatic water cover was installed during the last renovation.

As Lin Xiuyuan walked to the wall and pressed the control button, a slight motor sound rang out, and the automatic water cover covering the pool slowly closed, revealing a pool of clear water.

The pool was only half full at this time, and the sunlight shone on it, making it sparkle and seem as if people could be reflected in it.

"Wow……"

Like a child seeing a new toy for the first time, Da Longzai quickly walked to the edge of the pool, squatted down, and peered inside, his eyes flashing with genuine excitement. "This is so high-tech! Xiu Yuan~ The lid opens and closes with one touch, just like a hotel's rooftop pool! And it's so clean, it's incredibly practical."

Lin Xiuyuan leaned against the wall, standing lazily to the side. "It's nothing. I just thought of doing it when I was renovating. I haven't used it much."

"What a pity, such a good place, and you've just let it go to waste."

The little dragon curled its lip in disdain, then stood up and looked around.

A tall tree with a canopy stands on one side of the pool, its branches and leaves casting a large shade that cuts the glaring sunlight into countless tiny spots of light that fall onto the ground.

The other side of the roof faces the road, with no tall buildings blocking the view, and the surrounding trees form a natural barrier, providing a strong sense of privacy.

Such a secluded environment is like a private, cool paradise in the hot summer.

"Oh my, this is just right!"

Da Longzai couldn't help but laugh out loud. He got up and came to Lin Xiuyuan's side, poking his chest with his finger. "I'll go back and get my swimsuit later. I have to enjoy myself to the fullest today."

Lin Xiuyuan looked at the excitement on her face and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "Alright, whatever makes you happy. But you have to turn on the water first, otherwise you'll scrape the tiles when you go down."

"It's okay, we can chat and enjoy the breeze while the water is released."

As he spoke, Da Longzai suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something wicked, and his smile became a little malicious. "By the way, do you think we should call that little brat over there too? I suddenly want to see what she looks like in a swimsuit."

Lin Xiuyuan paused for a second, then looked at the mischievous glint in her eyes and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "What are you thinking? It's still the same person, how could anything change?"

"Who said that? I was just trying to liven up the pool party."

The little dragon cub was self-righteous, with an expression that said, "I'm serious," and even put his hands together to pretend to be well-behaved.

Then, she raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Xiuyuan, adding insult to injury, "Besides, I'm a B+ now, almost a C, much smaller than that little brat's B, okay?"

This sudden "numerical ratio" stunned Lin Xiuyuan for two seconds, then he couldn't help but burst into laughter, "What if Hyomin hears you say that? You know she's a numerical monster."

"Xiuyuan~ You can't have such thoughts, Unnie isn't divorced, you need to change your fantasies." Dalongzai looked at Lin Xiuyuan with a smile, her eyes flashing with a very strange light, afraid that this boy might have some sudden idea.

The result was a glare from the other party, who retorted, "What nonsense are you thinking? I was talking about Hyomin from 13. Besides, I never said I was into married women. I just like women with good figures, long legs, and fair skin."

Da Longzai chuckled, "Oh, so that's why you and Qri unnie spent over a week having a blast in the Maldives?"

"Stop nagging, are you still going to play in the water or not?" Lin Xiuyuan waved his hand, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Go ahead and play, go ahead and call for help." Da Longzai's smile was as bright as the sun, his eyes curving into slits, as if he had already rehearsed the upcoming "pool farce" in his mind.

A few minutes later.

Back at the apartment from 13, Lin Xiuyuan looked at Dalongzai and said, "By the way, didn't you say you needed to talk to Zhiyan?"

Da Longzai originally only planned to go with Lin Xiuyuan to talk to Park Jiyeon about some serious matters, but after seeing the swimming pool on the rooftop, his mind immediately changed.

Then you see her sitting on the sofa, hugging a cushion, looking around at the house she's only been to a few times, and smiling meaningfully, "It's definitely better to chat while playing, there's no need to sit at the dining table and talk seriously, Xiuyuan, you should call her quickly."

Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but chuckle at her words. He shook his head, opened his phone, and dialed Park Jiyeon's number.

The call connected quickly, and a girl's clear voice came through, "Hey, oppa~"

"Um, Zhiyan, are you free right now?" Lin Xiuyuan asked directly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Park Jiyeon, with a hint of relaxation after escaping her busy schedule, replied, "Haha, oppa~ I just finished. If you guys had called earlier, I probably wouldn't have had time, but now it's just right."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan replied with a smile, "That's perfect. Why don't you come to the apartment? Someone specifically asked to see you."

Before he could finish speaking, Da Longzai had already come over from the sofa and shouted almost into the microphone, "Hey, little brat, come swimming! Remember to bring your swimsuit. But you don't have to, so you won't feel inferior later."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone. Park Jiyeon, who was about to get into the car, stopped in her tracks. Like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, she squinted and slowly raised her head, her gaze sweeping over Park Hyomin and Ham Eunjung in front of her.

It's as if they're seeking support, or perhaps assessing the situation.

The next second, she didn't say anything and slammed the phone down.

Lin Xiuyuan, who was at the apartment, paused for a moment, then looked at the gloating Dalongzai beside him. "You poured a bit too much fire on it..."

The little dragon raised an eyebrow confidently, "I just want to see her get all worked up. It's so cute! I used to love seeing her get all worked up, and I've made a lot of mistakes because of it. Letting her get all worked up a few more times isn't a bad thing."

Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan didn't say anything, but pinched her increasingly plump little face a couple of times and asked, "Zhiyan, have you gained a little weight recently?"

"Hmm, I feel like I've gained a little weight from happiness, but since you can see it, Xiuyuan, I really need to lose weight."

Other women would definitely find it unbearable to hear others say they are fat.

But Da Longzai has become much more open-minded now, especially after learning about Lin Xiuyuan's situation and that his family's problems in 2013 had been resolved. He has no more worries and can do whatever he wants.

"No need to lose weight, this is just right. A little bit of meat is good, chubby is so cute." Lin Xiuyuan smiled and pinched it a couple more times.

A playful and passionate smile flashed across Da Longzai's face. He moved slightly closer to Lin Xiuyuan, his eyes filled with a hint of teasing. "Yes, only when there's some flesh bumping together can there be a wave of your buttocks, right, my little man?"

"you……"

Lin Xiuyuan, who was taken aback by Da Longzai's sudden lewd joke, was momentarily stunned, then chuckled, "Don't you have some misunderstanding about yourself... You've done it before."

The first sentence made Da Longzai pause for a moment. After Lin Xiuyuan finished speaking, she immediately jumped into his arms as if she had been stimulated, her voice sharp and excited, "Ah~ you're teasing me, you're teasing me."

A pair of small hands grabbed the hem of his clothes and quickly slipped inside, their eyes sparkling with laughter, playing like a happy child.

"Haha, okay, stop fooling around. I'll go check and use Krystal's account here to talk to Jung Soo-jung about the course."

As Lin Xiuyuan spoke, he shook his head slightly, unable to suppress a smile.

With about a month to go before the Busan International Film Festival, Krystal's work in 25 has begun to unfold. Whether it's promotion, advertising endorsements, or photo shoots, everything is being arranged perfectly by her company.

Exposure, promotional content, media arrangements... all of these must be taken into account.

Under such circumstances, her class time will naturally be compressed. If we add the occasional "field trips" with Lin Xiuyuan, it's uncertain how many classes she will be able to attend.

The little dragon also stood up, stretched, and looked on with curiosity. "Let me go in and take a look at your bedroom too."

Meanwhile, Park Ji-yeon, who had just left the TV station, had already gotten into her car.

As the car smoothly drove out of the parking lot, the afternoon sun shone through the car window onto her profile, casting dappled light and shadow.

The girl in the seat pursed her lips slightly, her expression seemingly nonchalant, but a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, as if she were secretly plotting something.

Suddenly, she turned to look at Park Hyomin beside her, her tone casual yet subtly probing, "Unnie, what kind of swimsuit do you think is the sexiest?"

This sudden question startled Park Hyomin, who tilted her head and looked at her curiously. "Huh? Why are you asking this?"

Park Jiyeon didn't answer directly, but just blinked slightly, her eyes raised slightly, and her lips pursed, as if she was considering something.

Although her curiosity had been piqued, Park Hyomin didn't press Park Jiyeon for more information.

Instead, he smiled, raised his hand to support his chin, and thought about it seriously for a moment.

"Well, the topic of 'most sexy' is too broad. Personally, I either like a very simple black bikini with clean lines that looks elegant, or a bold color like red or bright yellow that complements the skin tone and gives off a provocative and vibrant feeling. Anyway, sexiness isn't just about the clothes; in my opinion, it's also about the person wearing it. A confident aura is the sexiest."

As Park Jiyeon listened to the bustling scene, her eyes seemed thoughtful, and she tapped her knees lightly with her fingers.

Sitting to the side, Ham Eun-jung watched this scene quietly, a half-smile playing on her lips.

Her eyes were too bright, like a Mudkip that could see through everything.

Soon, as the car entered the residential area, Park Jiyeon rushed into her room like a whirlwind as soon as she returned to her dorm. She pounced on the wardrobe and exaggeratedly pulled out her clothes one by one.

The wardrobe doors were being pulled open with a loud bang, and clothes were piled up on the bed and the back of the chair, forming a small mountain.

"Ah, this one is too plain! This one is too conservative... This one? No way!"

She muttered and gestured as if she were having a duel with the wardrobe.

At the doorway, Park Hyomin leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed, a look of anticipation on her face. Ham Eunjung, on the other hand, peeked halfway in, her eyes scanning the chaotic room, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Are you going to play in the water or to a beauty pageant?" Park Hyo-min couldn't help but tease.

“Unnie, you don’t understand…” Park Jiyeon pouted as she rummaged through the items, “I absolutely cannot lose to that old woman again this time.”

"Old woman? Who is she?" Park Hyomin asked curiously.

Realizing she had almost let something slip, Park Jiyeon hurriedly glanced back at her, then shook her head, as if afraid that saying another word would expose some secret, and continued to rummage through the clothes in the closet.

Her fingers flew across the clothes, her movements becoming increasingly hurried, as if she were waging a silent war against the wardrobe.

Seeing this, Park Hyomin glanced at Ham Eunjung and muttered, "What is this? Could it be some kind of secret person again?"

Ham Eun-jung smiled slightly, a wicked glint in her eyes, her tone playful and mysterious, "Not necessarily, you know them, but it's hard to say."

Seeing the other person's attitude, Park Hyomin knew that she wouldn't get any answers by asking any further questions, so she simply withdrew her curiosity and turned her attention back to Park Jiyeon.

Seeing that she was getting more and more agitated as she rummaged through the clothes, her brows furrowed as if every piece of clothing in the closet was against her, Park Hyomin couldn't help but kindly remind her, "Jiyeon, how about I get you a few new ones? They're brand new, you haven't even worn them yet."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Ham Eun-jung burst into laughter, her shoulders shaking, her voice teasing, "Hyomin, are you deliberately trying to annoy Jiyeon? Can she even fit into your size?"

"ah!"

Immediately, Park Jiyeon's devastating screams echoed from the room, followed by an even more intense "crashing" sound, as if the entire wardrobe was about to be overturned.

Park Hyomin and Ham Eunjung at the door exchanged a glance, and the next second they couldn't help but burst into laughter, their laughter echoing in the dormitory and lightly hitting the walls, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.

After more than ten minutes, Park Jiyeon finally found a swimsuit that she was somewhat satisfied with. She collapsed onto the chair as if she had just finished a tough battle, and took several deep breaths before standing up.

Then she quickly packed her things, put on her sandals, went out the door, and got into the car.

As the car slowly drove away from the gate of the residential area, Park Hyomin and Ham Eunjung stood side by side by the window upstairs, watching the taillights gradually disappear into the distance.

"Are you really not going?" Park Hyomin looked away and turned to look at Ham Eunjung.

Ham Eun-jung merely glanced at her, a meaningful smile playing on her lips, but said nothing.

"It's like this again..." Park Hyomin frowned slightly, muttered to herself with a hint of helplessness, "It feels like you're spying on me."

“It’s not surveillance.” Ham Eun-jung smiled even wider, her voice gentle. “It’s keeping you company.”

"accompany……"

Park Hyo-min frowned slightly. This kind of close "accompaniment" made her feel a little tense, as if she were being pulled by an unseen force.

She suddenly remembered the advice Ham Eun-jung had given her before, and a sense of inquiry and provocation immediately surfaced in her mind.

The next second, he narrowed his eyes, his expression a mix of probing and amusement.

Looking up at the taillights of the car gradually disappearing in the distance below, she suddenly said softly, "Eun-jung, how about I go over and join Ji-yeon? What do you think?"

This statement was both a test and a deliberate provocation, carrying a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

This made Ham Eun-jung, who was standing next to her, raise an eyebrow, her smile deepening, her eyes carrying a hint of keen observation.

"I definitely agree."

"You are the only one who believes in ghosts."

"Why don't you give it a try?"

"Let's discuss it later."

……

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, sunlight streamed in obliquely through the apartment's floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long, warm shadows in the living room.

Soft light fell on the sofa, and a lazy summer atmosphere filled the air.

The moment Park Jiyeon pushed open the door, she froze in her tracks.

The reason was that Lin Xiuyuan and Dalongzai were sitting side by side on the sofa, sharing a box of ice cream.

The light and shadow reflected on the two people, like a scene frozen in time.

What made her heart clench even more was that Da Longzai was smiling as brightly as the spring sunshine, and was handing the ice cream to Lin Xiuyuan's lips. Lin Xiuyuan also lowered his head and took a bite without hesitation, and even had a little bit of milky white ice crystals stuck to the corner of his mouth.

The entire movement was natural and casual, yet it carried a subtle sense of intimacy, as if the distance between the two was naturally meant to be this close.

This scene stunned Park Jiyeon for a few seconds, and a bittersweet, complex, and indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

Rationally, she knew perfectly well that the dragon cub was her future self, but looking at the scene before her, she felt a gentle pang in her heart: When could she become like that...?

Then my cheeks quickly burned, my heart pounded, and my breathing became somewhat uncontrollable and rapid.

"Hey……"

Thinking of this, Park Jiyeon couldn't help but shout, her voice sharp and urgent, tinged with a guilty annoyance, "What are you doing!"

Lin Xiuyuan was clearly stunned for a moment, and moved aside like a child who had done something wrong, almost dropping his ice cream on the ground.

The little dragon remained remarkably calm, a smirk playing on its lips. It deliberately fed the ice cream to Lin Xiuyuan's lips, giving Park Jiyeon a defiant look. "Didn't you see it with your eyes? I'm feeding Xiuyuan ice cream."

Park Jiyeon's face instantly flushed bright red, as if heat was rising from the tips of her ears. Shyness, anger, jealousy...

Several emotions were intertwined in her heart, creating a chaotic mess. She was so angry that she wanted to rush up and snatch the ice cream from the big dragon's hand.

But she managed to hold back, trying to adjust her tone, and gritted her teeth as she said, "Didn't we agree to go swimming? What are you doing here?"

His voice was filled with barely concealed anger, and his eyes seemed to pierce through the two of them.

Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but chuckle, raising his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright, I'll go now, I'll go now." He quickly took the ice cream from the big dragon cub, turned around and threw it into the trash can, then got up and walked towards the time portal.

The little dragon looked smug, carrying the sunscreen spray and following along briskly. After a few steps, he turned back and winked at Park Jiyeon, with a playful and provocative look, which made her even angrier.

As you step into the villa's living room, the afternoon sun shines on the white walls and green plants in the yard, and the air carries a touch of summer heat.

As soon as Da Longzai and Park Jiyeon got over here, they prepared to go into the bathroom to change their clothes.

Lin Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "Take your time, there's no rush. I'm going upstairs now."

Then he went to the third floor to change into his swimming trunks.

Watching the dragon ascend to the sky, I quietly put on a pair of loose beach shorts before stepping onto the rooftop in my flip-flops.

As Lin Xiuyuan pressed the button again, the automatic dust cover on the water surface slowly retracted, revealing the water surface, which had been filled with water since earlier and was now 80% full.

The pool water shimmered under the sunlight, and the ten-meter-long surface reflected the blue of the sky, appearing exceptionally clear.

The gently swaying water lapped against the pool wall, making a soft, rustling sound.

The rest area next to the pool was covered with hardwood floors, and two large lounge chairs faced the sunlight. Lin Xiuyuan quickly took out several bottles of chilled drinks and a few towels from the spare refrigerator on the roof and put them on the coffee table.

Then he leaned back in his chair, stretched out his long legs, squinted at the sky above, and quietly waited for the two people downstairs to make a sound.

A gentle breeze blew from under the trees, taking away the sweltering heat of the summer afternoon, and also causing the corners of his mouth to turn up slightly.

I was secretly imagining the scene when those two came upstairs; it was going to be quite an interesting sight.

Soon, the door to a secondary bedroom on the second floor clicked open, and the little dragon boy was the first to walk out.

She changed into a halter-neck swimsuit, which generously revealed her smooth shoulder blades and beautiful lower back curves. Several tattoos were faintly visible, adding a touch of mystery and allure to her already voluptuous figure.

A few rays of sunlight drifted in through the gaps in the curtains and gently fell on her skin, giving it a soft glow.

With her long hair casually tied up, Da Longzai walked confidently to the mirror, checked the ties to make sure they were secure, then picked up a towel and slowly walked towards the rooftop.

"I'm going up first, you little brat, you can dawdle all you want."

She glanced back at the other closed door, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. She raised an eyebrow, turned, and disappeared down the stairs, leaving behind swaying light and a faint fragrance in the air.

In the guest room next door.

Park Jiyeon is standing in front of the mirror, gazing at her reflection.

At this moment, she was wearing that strappy swimsuit that she usually kept at the bottom of her drawer. The thin rope on the side of her waist outlined her figure as three-dimensional and tight as an exquisite gift.

The slightly slanted light streamed in from the window, reflecting on her snow-white skin and outlining her soft curves.

Staring at herself in the mirror, her cheeks flushed slightly and the tips of her ears felt hot.

"Ah..." she muttered softly, then stomped her feet and covered her face with her hands, as if struggling with her own embarrassment.

A moment later, she slowly lowered her hand, took a few deep breaths, as if cheering herself on, "No, I must beat that old woman today."

After saying that, Park Jiyeon forcefully suppressed the shyness in her heart, straightened her back, raised her chin, grabbed a bath towel, and walked briskly towards the stairs.

Each step was marked by a certain determination, yet also by the nervousness unique to a young girl.

……

In the rooftop rest area, Lin Xiuyuan was originally half-lying on a recliner playing on his phone.

When he heard the noise coming from the stairs, he looked up and almost sat up straight.

Da Longzai's neat swimsuit shimmered in the sunlight, her long legs and snow-white skin shining brightly, exuding maturity and radiance.

Noticing Lin Xiuyuan's gaze, she smiled slightly at him, but did not stop. Instead, she gracefully walked towards the edge of the pool.

I gently lifted my toes and tentatively kicked the water. Cool water splashed onto my calves, bringing a pleasant coolness.

Only then did the little dragon smile with satisfaction and walk towards Lin Xiuyuan. "Xiuyuan, this place is really nice. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have been without anywhere to play during this time."

"It's just a swimming pool, you can find one yourself, why make such a fuss?" Lin Xiuyuan replied.

Da Longzai shook his head, looking at him with a smile on his lips, "It's different. Qri unnie's villa on the hillside is too far away. Other swimming pools in Seoul are either not private or too small, unlike yours, which is big and long, right up to my heart's desire."

As he said this, Da Longzai looked at Lin Xiuyuan and a smile appeared on his lips.

Lin Xiuyuan scratched his head, "You'd better say swimming pool."

"What else did you think?" the little dragon cub laughed.

"You play for a while, we still need to wait for Ji-yeon..."

Lin Xiuyuan chuckled and said something, but before he could finish speaking, footsteps echoed from the stairwell again.

He subconsciously looked up, and the next second he sat up straight.

The afternoon sun shone down from the sky, bathing Park Jiyeon in a golden glow.

Biting her lip, she held onto the thin belt at her waist with one hand, her steps hesitant, yet she forced herself to straighten her back.

The delicate straps on her shoulders accentuated her beautiful collarbone and neckline, rising and falling slightly with her breath.

"Wow..."

The big dragon cub, who was also looking in that direction, was the first to whistle, breaking the silence. His eyes were filled with surprise and admiration. "I didn't expect this, little brat. You're braver than I thought."

At this moment, she looked somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting that she, in her youth, would be so brave as to come out wearing such an outfit.

"Now let's see who the little brat is."

Although her face was flushed, Park Jiyeon still glared at the big dragon cub. Her ears were red with embarrassment, but she still tried to be brave and shouted, "Oh, I thought you would dress very sexy. Why are you so conservative? Don't you have the figure to wear this?"

The little dragon seemed surprised by Park Jiyeon's counterattack. He chuckled and teased, "Without your cleavage, you're not going to be an A cup anymore, are you, little brat?"

Park Jiyeon looked down at her chest, then turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan over there.

Lin Xiuyuan, who was in front of him, almost burst out laughing. He quickly put his phone aside, pretended to cough to cover up his reaction, and didn't dare to say another word.

Seeing this, Park Jiyeon gave a light snort, casually placed her bathrobe by the door, and walked towards the pool with slightly hurried steps.

On the surface, it seemed natural, but in reality, her fingertips were trembling slightly, and her heart was beating faster with each step.

As she walked toward the pool, her gaze unconsciously drifted toward Lin Xiuyuan.

Lin Xiuyuan was sitting on the deck chair opposite him, already dressed in swim trunks and a pair of oversized beach shorts. He leaned back casually, the lines of his shoulders and back clearly visible in the afternoon sunlight.

For a moment, she was almost stunned.

Even though they had known each other for a long time, it was the first time that Park Ji-yeon had seen Lin Xiuyuan's body so openly, and she realized that Lin Xiuyuan's body was even better than she had imagined.

He has broad shoulders and subtly defined abdominal muscles, as if he could easily envelop someone with a single outstretched hand.

Her cheeks suddenly felt hot, and she quickly turned her gaze away, but it fell on the big dragon cub next to her.

As the other person put on their swimsuit, the tattoos on their back, arms, stomach, and back were almost completely revealed, the dark tattoos creating a strong contrast against their fair skin.

She had heard of those patterns before and seen them in the news, but this was the first time she had seen them up close.

It's not simply a rebellion or decoration, but more like a mark left by some kind of experience, making people want to take a second look.

So instead of using those things to attack the dragon cub, she gave it a deep look.

"What are you looking at? Are you going into the water or not?"

The little dragon probably didn't expect Park Jiyeon to have so many thoughts, so he raised an eyebrow and smiled with a mischievous look, as if he was deliberately trying to force her into a corner.

Park Jiyeon took a deep breath and silently told herself:

We need to get down quickly, the water will block our view, so oppa won't see how nervous I am right now.

"Hmph, so be it, I'll watch, so be it, I'll go into the water!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw the towel aside, gritted her teeth, and jumped...

"thump……"

Water splashed up, and the icy coolness instantly enveloped my whole body.

When Park Jiyeon opened her eyes underwater, all she could hear was the sound of water and her own heartbeat. She finally felt the burning sensation of being stared at dissipate a little.

As she surfaced, she tossed her hair and gave the little dragon on the shore a smug smile. "What are you waiting for? Come down here!"

The little dragon laughed out loud, sat down on the edge of the pool, hooked his legs and slid into the water, splashing a spray of water. "Not bad, little brat, you've got some guts today."

Lin Xiuyuan watched from the side, leisurely leaning back in his recliner, and said, "You guys play first, I'm waiting for my takeout. I ordered some food, and I have to go downstairs to pick it up in a bit. I'm not feeling well being wet."

"What's the big deal, Xiuyuan~ come down quickly."

As the little dragon spoke, he splashed water, almost hitting Lin Xiuyuan.

Instead, Park Jiyeon spoke up for Lin Xiuyuan, saying, "Oppa said to wait a bit, so just wait a bit. Why are you in such a hurry? Is it true that those people online say 'thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger'? Can't you even wait a few minutes?"

These words startled Da Longzai, who was splashing water. She turned around abruptly and looked at Park Jiyeon behind her.

I never imagined that I, in my youth, would dare to talk back and say such things.

After hearing this, the little dragon's eyes lit up, and it pounced on the other side like a fox, intending to teach the other party a lesson.

First, he splashed water, then patted Park Jiyeon's shoulders and back with both hands, splashing cool water onto her waist.

Park Jiyeon was startled by the splash, gritted her teeth and retaliated. The two of them splashed each other like this, the water droplets bursting into clusters of gold in the afternoon sun, and laughter and playful noises echoed on the roof.

But the little dragon wasn't satisfied with just playing in the water, so it started a "physical attack".

First, he reached out and tickled Park Jiyeon's armpit, eliciting her laughter and protests, then he made a face and tugged at the thin rope on her waist.

Not to be outdone, Park Ji-yeon grabbed Da Longzai's arm and pulled back, the two wrestling in the water, waves pushing and crashing back.

The playful banter quickly turned into a slightly excessive flirtation.

So, amidst the laughter and commotion that followed, the little dragon suddenly exerted a burst of strength, gripping the thin strap with increased force.

The thin strap around her neck suddenly came loose, and the swimsuit was momentarily unsecured.

Park Jiyeon was so frightened by the sudden loss of balance and the coolness that her face turned pale. She instinctively covered her chest with her hands, shrank back into the water and screamed. She was so panicked that it was as if her confidence had been drained away.

Water splashed around her, and the droplets refracted into shimmering gold in the sunlight, making her cheeks appear even redder.

Lin Xiuyuan, who had been watching from the shore, immediately stood up when he saw that the situation was not right.

Realizing the situation was too awkward, he quickly used the excuse of getting takeout to slip away from the rooftop. Turning his back to the two of them, he strode off, a forced laugh in his voice, "Um, I'm going downstairs to get the takeout. You guys have fun, I'll be back up in a bit..."

After saying that, he hurriedly went downstairs, leaving Park Jiyeon some time to tidy up.

The giant dragon cub left in the water wasn't nervous at all; instead, it couldn't hide its smug smile. "What a pity, it would have been better if we were on land."

Park Jiyeon frantically re-tied the thin ribbon in the water, her movements clumsy and hurried, her cheeks turning completely red to her ears.

Only after she had wrapped herself up completely did she glare at the little dragon cub with a mixture of anger and inexplicable shyness in her eyes. She was panting heavily. "Hey, old woman, are you crazy?"

"It was just a joke, why are you so angry?" The little dragon chuckled as it swam to the shore, casually resting its paws on the edge of the pool, its posture relaxed and natural.

Park Jiyeon muttered to herself, but still glared at her, "This isn't just making a fuss..."

"Isn't this just making a scene? Xiu Yuan has seen my body countless times. What's the difference?"

The little dragon playfully raised its eyebrows, feeling uncomfortable lying there, so it simply propped itself up and sat by the pool.

Upon hearing this, the images of Lin Xiuyuan and Dalongzai having sex, which Park Jiyeon had subconsciously ignored, resurfaced in her mind.

Her face wore a feigned composure but clearly angry expression. "This is different. You are you, and I am me..."

"Stop fooling yourself, it's really the same." The little dragon's smile deepened, and he stretched out his arm in an invitation, "Want to come over and touch it?"

Before she finished speaking, she casually untied the thin rope behind her back, revealing her sexy upper body to Park Jiyeon.

The soft sunlight outlined the lines of her shoulders and neck and the curves of her back. Her skin shimmered slightly under the water, and her tattoos sparkled with an even more captivating mystery in the sunlight.

Then the dragon cub leaned down slightly, its eyes locked on Park Jiyeon, who was cowering in the pool, and its voice was low and soft yet provocative.

"Kid, think about it carefully. Right now, can you really leave Xiuyuan?"

Park Jiyeon unconsciously gripped the water's surface, her heart pounding wildly. She wanted to retreat, but was so captivated by the scene before her that she couldn't move.

Sunlight shone through the air, reflecting the tense yet ambiguous figures of the two, and the entire pool seemed to be enveloped in a passionate yet dangerous atmosphere.

downstairs.

Lin Xiuyuan had only intended to make room for the food delivery, but the food arrived at his door right on time.

So after hanging up the phone with the deliveryman, he quickly walked out of the yard to retrieve the food.

But when she opened the door, she found not the deliveryman, but Jessica, who had just had a small argument with her and Krystal a couple of days ago.

She was wearing a simple white tank top, high-waisted jeans, and simple white sneakers.

A gentle breeze lifted a few strands of her long, loose hair, the slightly curled ends clinging to her tanned shoulders, giving her a casual yet somewhat languid look.

Holding a small black bag, casually slung over her shoulder, her expression gleamed with curiosity and a sense of exploration.

Lin Xiuyuan subconsciously narrowed his eyes, almost freezing on the spot. Jessica's appearance was completely unexpected.

"This... how did you get here?" His voice was filled with obvious surprise as he said this, almost as if he had been struck by lightning.

Holding a large bag of food, Jessica raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled. "I just happened to be passing by and saw a delivery guy about to deliver food to you. I thought it would be a big surprise for you if I delivered it myself."

Looking at her before him, Lin Xiuyuan was indeed a little surprised...

But it wasn't a surprise, it was a shock.

Meanwhile, upstairs, the two "Ji-yeons" were having a blast playing in the water.

If Jessica saw this, he might actually follow Krystal's plan and take this woman to 2013.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyuan reached out and took the takeout bag. "Thank you, it's quite a pleasant surprise."

However, Jessica withdrew her hand and looked at the boy in front of her. "What's wrong? Aren't you going to invite me in?"

"It's not very convenient," Lin Xiuyuan said frankly.

Upon hearing this, Jessica smiled and said, "Could it be that there's some unspeakable secret?"
