Chapter 111: Yoona: “if You Want To See, Just Look”
“No condom?”
“Huh?”
Lin Xiuyuan smacked his lips a bit awkwardly, “Tsk, hiss~ We’ve already seen it, let’s go downstairs.”
“Since we’re already here, what’s the harm in looking a bit more.”
With that, Im Yoon Ah really stared at Lin Xiuyuan’s face, passed the walk-in closet, and came to the master bedroom inside.
Her gaze swept over the messy bedding, and the bedding scattered on the floor.
But she still didn’t see that little thing, that small item she wanted to see.
“Really no condom.”
If the tone of that previous sentence had a bit of doubt, then this time, Im Yoon Ah’s tone was very shocked, “Aren’t you afraid of accidents?”
Facing her pressing for an answer, Lin Xiuyuan almost shouted out his true thoughts: Can I control this thing? Which man can resist that kind of temptation!
But the words reached his mouth and he forcibly swallowed them back. He said no more, and for the first time directly reached out to press the back of Im Yoon Ah’s neck, forcibly taking her away from the third floor.
When Im Yoon Ah’s neck was pressed by fate, she was also laughing while patting Lin Xiuyuan’s arm, shouting loudly, “Hey hey, Xiuyuan, let go, let go, I’ll walk myself, walk myself.”
When the two reached the stairs, Lin Xiuyuan finally released his right hand that was pressing her neck, raised it to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
It had to be said, he really didn’t expect Im Yoon Ah to have such sharp eyes. He had thrown it into the trash can inside, and she could still see it.
“No wonder Soo Jung appeared here dressed so sexy last night and didn’t go back. Turns out you two already…”
Before Im Yoon Ah finished speaking, Lin Xiuyuan added from the side, “Yoona, don’t talk nonsense, we’re purely in a cooperative relationship.”
“Sure it’s cooperation? Not merging bodies?”
Im Yoon Ah laughed like a little fox obsessed with gossip, “Don’t worry, I won’t tattle to older sister. We’re all adults, romance is very normal.”
In response, Lin Xiuyuan’s face was full of helplessness, and he dryly added, “Not dating.”
Now Im Yoon Ah understood. This young boy in front of her was probably played by Soo Jung. Thinking of this, her expression immediately showed interest.
Her eyes also gained a bit more curiosity, “Xiuyuan, what’s the situation? Tell me, tell me.”
For such an interesting thing, she really wanted to know a thing or two.
But for Lin Xiuyuan, it was a bit awkward, so he quickly issued an order to see the guest out.
“I say, you’re a big star, why gossip about these things? Go, go, I shouldn’t have agreed to let you come over.”
Hearing the answer, Im Yoon Ah giggled out loud, then kindly taught him, “Then next time remember not to casually agree. When others ask, counter-question them, then say you’re not free.”
Lin Xiuyuan was rarely speechless and could only retort, “Who would think you big stars are so shameless? I don’t believe you couldn’t hear my polite words.”
“Even the biggest stars are human. So what if we heard? We just like that feeling where you can’t bite us.”
Being teased, Im Yoon Ah didn’t feel there was any problem at all, and instead amusingly educated Lin Xiuyuan.
Lin Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, then gloomily spat out, “Such strong perverse taste.”
“There are too few new friends around usually. It’s rare to meet a fun young boy who doesn’t require defenses. How could we let you go? Soo Jung is the same.”
Toward the end, Im Yoon Ah, who had just come down to the first floor, turned her body back around.
Facing Lin Xiuyuan’s speechless expression, she pointed upstairs, laughing even more happily.
Then she plopped down on the sofa.
She really had no intention of leaving now. That Long Island Iced Tea from earlier was starting to kick in, her head dizzy.
Luckily, Lin Xiuyuan’s order to leave was just for fun. After chasing her out of the third floor, seeing her state, his eyes understood the situation, so he went to the kitchen side and got her a bottle of ice water to put in front of her.
“Drink it, sober up. Next time, still ordering Long Island Iced Tea?”
“Order it, it’s good, I love it.”
After putting the water in front of Im Yoon Ah, Lin Xiuyuan sat on the other side, somewhat amusedly gazing at her, “I’m very curious. You’re 30+, right? How come your alcohol tolerance hasn’t improved? Don’t you often have dinner parties?”
“If you don’t include the age, I might consider answering your question.”
It had to be said, after returning to that night in 2013, Im Yoon Ah started to have a lot of resentment about age.
It was fine before, her psychological defenses along the way weren’t easily broken, and she gradually got used to it.
But when she met her 23-year-old self that night, and was ‘mocked’ by her the next day, she exploded.
Lin Xiuyuan just smiled after hearing this, “Your answer is just like Soo Jung’s.”
“Would you be happy if it were you?”
Im Yoon Ah irritably shot back.
Then she picked up the mineral water intending to twist it open for a sip, but her head was dizzy and she couldn’t muster the strength, so she handed it to Lin Xiuyuan.
Lin Xiuyuan twisted it open after taking it and handed it back to her, teasing, “I don’t care, men get more flavorful with age. Have you heard ‘a man at 41 is a flower’?”
Im Yoon Ah, who tilted her head back and gulped down a big mouthful of ice water, had the alcohol rush to her brain, her tone more uninhibited, “Flower my ass. Whether you can even get it up then is another story.”
The last time she got tipsy from drinking was at the 15th anniversary, when she drank too much at a dinner party with the members.
Lin Xiuyuan, who heard the answer beside her, didn’t refute, but quietly took out his mobile phone, opened the recording function, and stealthily aimed it at her.
But though Im Yoon Ah was tipsy, she wasn’t really drunk.
So after seeing Lin Xiuyuan’s action, she immediately laughed and lifted her leg to kick him, “Hey, Xiuyuan, I’m not drunk. What are you thinking? Want me to recall myself?”
“Looks like you’re really not drunk.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan smiled and put away his phone.
Seeing this, Im Yoon Ah also took a deep breath, using that mouthful of ice water just now to quickly recover her state, then her gaze turned to the room door in the corner.
“But seriously, Xiuyuan, there shouldn’t be any more tragedy this time, right?”
The asked Lin Xiuyuan’s hand trembled, and he directly shook his head, “I don’t know, I can’t guarantee. According to parallel dimension theory, the moment I open that door, the futures of the two time-spaces are unknown.”
Then he crossed his legs on the sofa, “So if you’re asking me such a serious question, I can’t give any answer. I can only say that with this side as reference, it should be much better.”
Finally saying, “Alright, no more heavy topics. Watch, let’s watch TV for a bit. Do you want to rest a while before leaving, or should I send you now?”
“Rest a bit.”
Im Yoon Ah said lazily.
“Okay.”
And so, Lin Xiuyuan and Im Yoon Ah sat on the sofa. One idly found some new variety shows here to watch, the other hugged a cushion in her arms, leaned on the sofa, eyes fixedly gazing at the other.
Until Lin Xiuyuan felt his scalp tingle from her stare, he finally turned his head to her with a helpless laugh, “Yoona, haven’t our positions switched? Shouldn’t this gaze be me looking at you?”
Hearing this, Im Yoon Ah simply lay down flat on the sofa, stretching out her legs, “Look if you want to.”
With this lie-down, she completely relaxed, like a leisurely and contented cat.
And what allowed her to be so at ease, besides sharing that huge secret with Lin Xiuyuan, was also because she wasn’t wearing a skirt today, but a fitted set of sports clothes.
No exposure, no revealing, no loss however you look.
So just like that, hugging the cushion, lying obliquely there, a pair of eyes slightly narrowed, the corners of her lips carrying a casual smile.
The gaze toward Lin Xiuyuan carried a bit of slyness, and a bit of undisguised inquiry.
Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t quite handle her look, especially that sentence “Look if you want to,” making him involuntarily tsk lightly, quickly lowering his head to flip the remote control, pretending to find a program.
But to be fair, with Im Yoon Ah lying on the sofa right beside you, could you really not look more than a couple times?
Tall and well-proportioned figure, beautiful lines, the curve from shoulder to neck to collarbone slender and soft. Even though a tiny bit fatter, still full of charm.
So even just quietly leaning on the sofa like this, she could still emit an effortless attractiveness.
And when Lin Xiuyuan tried hard to suppress that fleeting thought, he still couldn’t help secretly turning his face to glance at her.
Right then, he met her direct gaze. Even after eye contact, Im Yoon Ah didn’t forget to raise her brow, “Not enough self-control, Xiuyuan. Not even 2 minutes, and you’ve looked over. No wonder Soo Jung ate you clean.”
Lin Xiuyuan’s mouth twitched, finally bitterly whispering, “Fine fine fine, you big sisters are one more open than the other.”
“So you have to stay calm, Xiuyuan.” Im Yoon Ah laughed like a devil.
Lin Xiuyuan took a breath, clapped his hands, and shot back, “If you say it like that, I might go out for a massage. After that, I’ll be calmly guaranteed.”
Teased so many times, he wasn’t a completely powerless little white rabbit.
“…”
Sure enough, after hearing the answer, Im Yoon Ah hadn’t expected this and quickly sat up, no longer casually emitting tempting aura.
Her mouth earnestly advised, “Hey, don’t do stupid things, Xiuyuan. Now isn’t like 2013, too many diseases, bad for the body.”
Lin Xiuyuan’s mouth curved, “Meaning it’s okay to go back to 2013?”
“…”
Im Yoon Ah was silent.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help chuckling, slightly turning the tables, quite smug inside.
However, at this moment, the villa’s front door was opened from outside.
Krystal, who had finished a day of schedule, got off work and came back.
As soon as she entered, through that super large floor-to-ceiling window, she saw Lin Xiuyuan on the sofa looking toward her, and the casually posed Im Yoon Ah beside him.
The moment their gazes met, Im Yoon Ah waved first, smiling in greeting, “Good evening, Soo Jung~”
Then Krystal also quickly walked in, a bit curious, “Older sister, how come you’re here.”
“Came to sit, chat a bit. The secret of that door is too burdensome.”
After casually making an excuse, Im Yoon Ah’s gaze fell on Krystal’s face, suddenly squinting her eyes as if discovering something off, “Eh, Soo Jung, your skin has improved.”
Krystal, who had heard this not for the first time today, couldn’t help revealing a smile, “Maybe because I’ve been resting well lately.”
But Im Yoon Ah sharply noticed something, beckoning her.
“Doesn’t look like a rest effect. Come closer, let me see.”
Though puzzled, Krystal casually put her bag aside and walked over, standing in front of Im Yoon Ah.
Im Yoon Ah wasn’t polite, reaching out to cup her face, looking left and right, tsking.
“Really off, Soo Jung. Your complexion is much brighter, pores finer, even the little fine lines at the eye corners have faded. Most importantly, your forehead here actually has new fuzz, growing hair??”
“Huh?”
Krystal was stunned, subconsciously lifting her hand to touch her forehead.
Sure enough, she always felt her hairline was a bit high, but lately when looking in the mirror, it felt more pleasing. Turns out there was some fine new hair.
“Have you secretly used some new brand’s essence lately? Or gone for injections? Such obvious change, rest alone definitely can’t do it.”
Im Yoon Ah looked suspicious, giving a strange glance at Lin Xiuyuan beside her, then quickly withdrawing it.
Though mugwort could affect mental state and make vitality ruddy, it absolutely couldn’t affect so many details.
Krystal was a bit embarrassed being asked, because she didn’t know yet that Im Yoon Ah had seen through her thing with Lin Xiuyuan, so she still thought it was related to the mugwort, but was too shy to say it.
So she could only play dumb and say, “Don’t know, just been resting well lately, nothing else.”
Im Yoon Ah quietly looked at her face a few more times, thinking if it was really some essence or such, Krystal wouldn’t lie to her. Could it really be that mugwort issue?
Already a bit tipsy, her mind was even more chaotic now, thoughts surging, but rationality reminded her not to dig deeper.
So she quickly threw out the question with her remaining rationality, “Forget it, whatever. Maybe.”
“Older sister, you drank?”
As Krystal came closer, she smelled the alcohol in Im Yoon Ah’s mouth, so she turned her gaze to Lin Xiuyuan.
Lin Xiuyuan answered truthfully, “Had a Long Island Iced Tea at the tavern.”
Hearing this, Krystal laughed too, “Older sister with that alcohol tolerance, you really dared to let her drink.”
“It’s fine, not drunk, just a bit dizzy, will ease up soon.”
Hearing this, Krystal stood up from the sofa, “Then older sister, why not eat here tonight. I just ordered pizza and some snacks on the way.”
Im Yoon Ah agreed immediately upon hearing, “Perfect, saves me finding food when I go back.”
And so, with Krystal back to accompany Im Yoon Ah, Lin Xiuyuan took the chance to go over to the 2013 side, to check his mobile phone messages and see if anyone was looking for him.
As soon as he passed through that familiar room door, the sound of his phone vibrating rang in his ear.
He was stunned, quickly stepping forward to pick up the phone.
Looking at the screen, it was actually a call from Park Hyomin.
