Chapter 188: What Do You Call A Big Sister’s Thoughtfulness And Gentleness?
2013.
In Kim Eun Sook’s studio, Lin Xiaolu sat opposite, intently flipping through the script in her hand.
She listened to Kim Eun Sook’s various questions while recounting the answers based on her own insights from the original TV series plot she had seen in her mind from 25 years later, with rigorous thinking and a calm rhythm.
Although Kim Eun Sook had already completed most of the script work, some details still needed polishing.
So in these days, when Kim Eun Sook heard Lin Xiaolu occasionally mention a few plot points that suddenly enlightened her, she was always amazed and grew increasingly fond of this young girl.
Moreover, Lin Yoona’s recent performance and her profound understanding of the role made Kim Eun Sook feel that her choice of this actress was indeed unique.
At the same time, Lin Xiaolu’s acting skills were also improving rapidly; after all, once the emotions were in place, grasping the details came naturally and quickly.
Thus, in just one short week, Kim Eun Sook no longer viewed her merely as a screenwriter but as her proud student, with a gaze filled with affection and appreciation.
Then she pushed up her glasses, looked at Lin Xiaolu with great satisfaction, and smiled, “It’s really great, Yoona. Your grasp of the female lead’s emotions is already spot on. I was a bit worried if you’d have any weaknesses besides crying scenes, but now it seems there’s no problem.”
“It’s all thanks to Teacher’s help; otherwise, I couldn’t have progressed this fast on my own.” Lin Xiaolu smiled humbly.
Kim Eun Sook quite liked her humility; although such behavior was perfectly normal etiquette on the Peninsula, in her biased view, Lin Xiaolu’s personality made her even more approachable and likable.
After laughing, Kim Eun Sook continued, “Don’t be too modest. As it stands now, Yoona, not only can you play Cha Seong-eun well, but bringing her to life is no problem at all.”
Her words carried affirmation, but she then sighed with a hint of regret.
“The only slight shortcoming might be that your gaze always lacks a bit of sparkle. Although the overall emotions are in place, especially the crying scenes, if you want more close-up shots from the director or to enter the film industry someday, you still need to strengthen your gaze beyond crying scenes.”
“Teacher, do you have any suggestions on this? I’ll practice when I get back.”
Lin Xiaolu knew this was her weakness; Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Yoona had pointed it out many times, but she still hadn’t found a direction or path to break through.
Kim Eun Sook sighed a little at the question, “I’m not too familiar with this either; after all, I’m just a screenwriter. The help I can give you on acting is only telling you the psychology I wrote for the role.”
After saying that, she thought for a moment, “Do you have time in a couple of days, Yoona?”
“In a couple of days?” Lin Xiaolu thought about her schedule and gritted her teeth, “I do, Teacher.”
Kim Eun Sook looked at her deeply, as if assessing her determination, and finally said slowly, “Alright then, I’ll take you to meet a few people then, and see if you can gain some experience from them.”
Lin Xiaolu’s heart skipped a beat, a flash of surprise in her eyes. She forced herself to stay calm and nodded, “Yes, Teacher.”
The two then went over the scripts for the first few episodes together. Finally, when Kim Eun Sook happily sent Lin Xiaolu out of the office, watching her departing back, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes.
On the other side.
After leaving Kim Eun Sook’s studio, Lin Xiaolu got into her car and immediately shouted excitedly.
Because she knew very well that Kim Eun Sook’s mention of “introducing people” had basically confirmed the intimate relationship between her and this screenwriter.
Before, they had tacitly maintained this teacher-student identity, but it was only known to themselves.
Now, with Kim Eun Sook preparing to publicly introduce her to more people in the industry, this relationship was officially unveiled.
After the excitement, Lin Xiaolu looked down at her lower body’s jeans again. Today, during the meeting with Kim Eun Sook, the other party had mentioned the issue of her leg shape again.
Although Lin Xiaolu had recently started physical correction treatment with the doctor’s help, according to the other party, under normal circumstances, it would take at least a few months to see results.
However, the doctor said some people might see faster results due to their constitution, but such people were rare.
Amidst her wandering thoughts, a scene involuntarily emerged in Lin Xiaolu’s mind: it was her conversation with Lin Yoona in the park last time.
And not long ago, when they met again, the other’s face seemed reborn after spring, with fresh skin and spirited state, all of which left her unforgettable.
Lin Xiaolu took a deep breath, suddenly started the car, and drove toward the small tavern.
When going downstairs, she had asked in the group chat about everyone’s situation and found that Jung Soo Yeon and others were still chatting at the small tavern and hadn’t left.
Rushing over now would allow her to join in at the end.
The distance between the two places wasn’t far, so soon Lin Xiaolu’s car parked in the parking lot downstairs of the apartment building.
Then, too lazy to go around outside, she entered directly from behind the secret passage.
So when she pushed open the hidden door in the wine cabinet, she startled Sulli who was about to grab something, “Oh my, big sis, you scared me.”
“Didn’t Lin Xiuyuan say there’d be a notification when someone enters this passage? Didn’t you check?”
After smiling and greeting Sulli, Lin Xiaolu looked at the few people on the sofa side, then plopped down next to Jung Soo Yeon, “Sis, you’re so dedicated; even here to play, you’re looking at the computer.”
“I just glanced for a moment; a call came saying the studio’s decoration is almost done, so I checked.”
Jung Soo Yeon gently shifted, and Lin Xiaolu saw the computer screen, which showed surveillance of that building before; it was clearly in the final stages, with staff cleaning up.
After a quick glance, Lin Xiaolu retracted her gaze, leaned on the sofa, and said relaxedly with a smile, “That’s great then. Next time I won’t need to buy clothes; I can pick a few I like there, and have your studio make them.”
“Oh, that’s good, sis, I want one too.” Park Ji-yeon, who hadn’t thought of this, brightened up and looked at Jung Soo Yeon.
“You really plan to make me draw design drawings bit by bit? It’s tiring.”
Chuckling, Jung Soo Yeon said, “If I go to 25 years when I have time, using AI algorithms could make it simpler, but lately I’ve had no free time.”
“Now it’s good, sis. Anyway, oppa can open a door directly to your home to pick you up. Then you won’t need to run back and forth; just stay in 25 years. There are rarely any important calls at night; set an alarm to come back on time, and you can use the computer freely.”
Sulli, hearing Jung Soo Yeon’s troubles, immediately smiled and gave her a great suggestion.
Then Lin Xiaolu was a bit confused, “What do you mean?”
Having just arrived, she didn’t know about the time-space door’s evolution, so Jung Soo Yeon and the others explained it to her.
After hearing it, Lin Xiaolu’s eyes widened; the somewhat vague idea in her heart instantly became clear.
But she didn’t show her thoughts and continued chatting with Jung Soo Yeon and the others on this topic.
During this, Lin Xiaolu thought of something and looked at Ham Eun-jung, “Right, Eun-jung sis, since you have no work lately, how about telling your company to audition for the female supporting role in my script?”
“Female supporting role?” Ham Eun-jung, who had just joined the cult, wasn’t clear on the details yet.
She only knew Lin Xiaolu had snatched a script and gotten the female lead, but didn’t understand what kind of script it was, since Park Ji-yeon didn’t know how to explain either.
Then Lin Xiaolu introduced the situation of The Heirs to Ham Eun-jung《 The Heirs》, and mentioned Lee Bo-na’s female supporting role.
This was a supporting character everyone thought was excellent, both in plot and character design. Unfortunately, in 13 years, Jung Soo Jung was fed a female lead script by Sulli, so she couldn’t take this role anymore.
So when Lin Xiaolu learned Ham Eun-jung had joined the cult, she thought of this role and gave her the suggestion.
After hearing it, Ham Eun-jung thought for a moment, “Wait until Xiuyuan returns from his trip; I’ll watch the TV series then. I’m worried I can’t pull off the rich girl vibe you described for Yoona; Soo Jung was performing naturally.”
“Trip? Where did he go?”
Lin Xiaolu was confused again and turned to Sulli, who smiled slightly, “Oppa went to the Maldives with Goo Ri sis from 25 years.”
Lee Ji-eun from 25 years?
Recalling the situation there, this made Lin Xiaolu, who had just been thinking of Lin Xiuyuan, suddenly have a ridiculous yet reasonable idea in her mind: that guy… wasn’t messing around again, was he?
……
……
Meanwhile.
In the Maldives in 25 years.
Clear seawater shimmered with silver-blue glow under the sunlight, while warm sea breeze gently brushed the skin, bringing bursts of fresh salty scent.
Lin Xiuyuan and Lee Ji-eun stood at the edge of the snorkeling area, wearing light diving suits, preparing for their underwater adventure.
Lee Ji-eun adjusted her breathing apparatus, leaned down to look at the water surface; the seawater was like a transparent gem, crystal clear, captivating one to immerse in it.
Then she stood up, turned back to Lin Xiuyuan with a playful glint in her eyes, “Xiuyuan, ready? Don’t make me wait too long.”
“This is my first time; I’ll try.” Lin Xiuyuan smiled back, a hint of instinctive fear in his eyes.
For someone with deep-sea phobia, near-shore waters by the beach were acceptable, but sinking too deep would stir inner unease.
Fortunately, this was just snorkeling, not too deep.
Soon, under the guide’s lead, they stepped on the rocks and slowly entered the seawater.
As the sand under their feet was gradually washed away by the seawater, the cool seawater rose from ankles to knees; Lin Xiuyuan felt a refreshing comfort, his body instantly relaxing.
Next, Lee Ji-eun leaped into the water first, splashing water everywhere, as if merging with the ocean, her posture elegant and free, like conversing with the sea.
Lin Xiuyuan stood stunned for a moment, finally gritted his teeth, and followed, leaping in and creating a splash.
The underwater world was completely different from the waves on the surface, presenting a serene and splendid scene.
Colorful corals thrived, various tropical fish swam among the seagrasses.
Lin Xiuyuan saw all this with his own eyes for the first time, as if entering a fantastical underwater realm; everything before him was breathtakingly beautiful.
Lee Ji-eun, gliding ahead, gently kicked a few times and had already swum some distance, her long hair floating in the water like an underwater elf.
Then she turned back, waved at Lin Xiuyuan, signaling him to hurry over.
Seeing this, though Lin Xiuyuan didn’t respond, he suddenly sped up and swam toward her.
Underwater, the distance between their bodies grew closer; the water’s buoyancy made everything lighter and smoother.
Feeling his approach, Lee Ji-eun smiled slightly and turned to meet him.
At this moment, her gaze was profound; through the diving mask, Lin Xiuyuan seemed to see the fluctuations in her eyes, hiding unknown emotions…
Of course, that was fake; he could only see seawater and a pair of swim goggles.
But Lin Xiuyuan felt Lee Ji-eun’s gently swaying soft hand accidentally brush his chest; the warm touch like a hot flame pierced the water’s chill, striking his skin.
After some time, they swam for a while; the surrounding corals and colorful tropical fish seemed to witness them.
Lee Ji-eun swam lightly, movements elegant like an underwater elf, yet her gaze never left Lin Xiuyuan.
Her body, knowing the taste, made her feel her heartbeat accelerating faintly; every gaze meeting with Lin Xiuyuan beside her seemed to exchange something silently.
That subtle attraction grew stronger, making it harder for her to ignore.
The next second, as if by telepathy, they both leaped out of the water simultaneously, their forms breaking the sea surface, instantly free from the water’s restraint.
Cool seawater quickly dissipated behind them as their bodies drew closer, finally embracing tightly.
At the moment Lee Ji-eun leaped out, Lin Xiuyuan met her; his lips gently touched her forehead, then slid quickly to her lips.
Sea breeze brushed their wet hair strands, water droplets splashed, blending into their passionate embrace and kiss.
This was the first time Lee Ji-eun felt Lin Xiuyuan so proactive, so her hands quickly wrapped around his neck, pulling their distance tight.
She pressed her curvaceous figure firmly against Lin Xiuyuan, feeling his chest’s rise and fall and his hot aura.
Lips parting slightly, she responded to this hot kiss wholeheartedly.
In that instant, Lee Ji-eun seemed to hear her own heartbeat, rapid and strong, as if telling her this was everything she desired.
Lin Xiuyuan’s hand gently supported her waist, gentle yet carrying undisguisable desire.
His kiss deepened, and Lee Ji-eun’s heart gradually relaxed with it, all emotions erupting like a tide at this moment.
As the saying goes, the shortest path to a woman’s heart is often through the body.
And Lee Ji-eun was now embodying this perfectly.
From yesterday’s anticipation, to last night’s enjoyment, to this morning’s surprise and excitement, to this moment’s full immersion.
But this progress bar had only taken less than 24 hours; if fans outside learned of it, they would go crazy.
However, this further proved that the identity Lin Xiuyuan mentioned was step by step becoming reality and prophecy.
If not a succubus, what was it?
The glow on the sea illuminated their bodies; warm sunlight intertwined with the water’s chill, forming a strange balance.
When their lips finally parted, their breaths were rapid, clinging tightly together, heartbeats still echoing over the water.
Lee Ji-eun’s next words made Lin Xiuyuan impulsive.
“Xiuyuan…”
“I know what you want to say.”
But Lin Xiuyuan tried hard to restrain his inner impulse, panting as he looked around, then at the guides on the shore watching them, and smiled helplessly.
“Let’s talk when we get back; I don’t want a live broadcast over the sea. I don’t mind much, but I’m worried about getting stung down there.”
With Lin Xiuyuan’s words, the still passionate Lee Ji-eun burst out laughing.
Then she hugged him again, arms around his neck, offering an even more intense hot kiss.
Her little movements increased; though unable to do more, she still wanted to give this boy the tenderness and pleasure he deserved.
After the hot kiss ended, Lee Ji-eun smiled lightly, her eyes showing unconcealable satisfaction and joy.
Watching Lee Ji-eun before him, Lin Xiuyuan finally understood what big sister’s thoughtfulness and gentleness meant.
He hadn’t quite gotten it before, but now he thoroughly experienced it.
Because big sister would never let him go hungry.
So next, the two continued snorkeling in near-shore waters, watching the magical marine life, or splashing water, freely and joyfully enjoying this rare vacation.
Gentle breezes on the sea surface, undercurrents surging below.
……
……
While Lin Xiuyuan was immersed in the pleasure of snorkeling, far away on Hong Kong Island, Kim Tae Yeon, who had just finished the morning on-site rehearsal, was sitting in the lounge enjoying a nutritious meal.
She held her mobile phone in one hand, browsing news short videos, occasionally pausing to kill time.
However, soon her gaze, like last night, suddenly froze on the screen.
The phone screen was playing a short video.
It was a short video of Big Dragon Cub recently captured by fans on her way to the beauty salon for makeup, which had spread online.
Big Dragon Cub’s facial condition in the video completely stunned Kim Tae Yeon.
Such a familiar scene.
At this moment, Lin Yoona in Macau suddenly sneezed several times!!!
