Chapter 250: Kim Soft Soft’s “feeding The Tiger With Her Body” Tactic
“My woman.”
The moment these four words fell, Krystal on the side froze for a moment, her breathing as if gently pinched, pausing for half a beat.
Clearly, she was already used to Lin Xiuyuan’s occasional blunt remarks, yet she was still struck right in the heart by this unabashed declaration.
A corner deep in her heart was instantly ignited, warmth surging up.
Happy.
Yes, the first reaction was happiness.
That kind of sweetness that even the most independent big woman would feel her heart flutter after being openly claimed made her unable to help but purse her lips, her eyes brimming with smiles.
But soon, a trace of complexity flashed through Krystal’s mind.
Because of Lin Xiuyuan’s special nature, he was destined not to belong to just her alone.
But thinking about it, it made sense; if he didn’t have this special quality, the two of them might not even have the luxury of knowing each other.
At this thought, Krystal smiled lightly, and that faint displeasure was quickly suppressed.
The mature her knew all too well that if she dwelled on this emotion, it would ultimately only bring needless worry and even make the person beside her more uncomfortable.
So she chose to keep only that pure happiness.
Just as someone had said back then: Big sister knows how to digest her emotions herself.
The next second, Krystal walked straight over and unhesitatingly threw herself into Lin Xiuyuan’s arms, her hands tightly wrapping around his waist.
“Hey~ Jessica, did you hear that? He admitted it himself.”
Krystal’s smile was radiant, like a triumphant little fox, clinging to Lin Xiuyuan’s arms and refusing to let go.
Meanwhile, Jessica’s expression darkened instantly.
That arrogance and coldness were fiercely provoked by Krystal’s brazen display of affection.
The icy beauty biting her lip stared coldly at the scene, her heart inexplicably feeling as if it had been harshly poked by something.
“Hey, you two…” Jessica couldn’t help but grit her teeth in a low voice.
But at that moment, Lin Xiuyuan seemed completely oblivious to the tension in the air, turning his head calmly to look at her and suddenly saying, “By the way, Jessica, where’s your man?”
As soon as the words were out, Krystal was stunned, apparently not expecting him to follow up with such a provocative remark.
But in the next instant, she understood something, glancing up at the boy in her arms.
He was really smart.
However, smart people weren’t just Lin Xiuyuan; Jessica first let out a cold snort, then her lips curved up slightly as she gave him a deep look.
Though she wasn’t sure if this was provocation, she knew very well that this boy wasn’t the type to spout nonsense, so if he asked, there must be a reason.
Plus, with Lin Xiuyuan deliberately seeking her out today and setting up this game… she vaguely had an answer in her heart.
So she flashed a sharp smile. “Want to know? Beat me first.”
That confidence and edge swept over once again.
The air seemed ignited again, the undercurrents between the three surging even more fiercely.
Lin Xiuyuan just lightly raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile flashing in his eyes. “Cool, let’s continue.”
The third game began.
This time, Jessica picked up a purple bowling ball, her hands gently rubbing the surface, fingertips slowly sliding over the finger holes.
The entire motion was meticulous, as if enveloped in a focused aura.
Can’t lose.
That was what Jessica silently admonished herself.
Even if it was just a game, she didn’t want Lin Xiuyuan asking her another question.
At this thought, Jessica slowed her breathing, her gaze fixed on the pins ahead.
The next second, she stepped forward, swung her arm, and released.
The bowling ball roared out, charging straight at the pins.
“Strike!”
The pins were cleanly swept away, Jessica turning with a smooth and sharp motion, her lips curving into a victorious arc.
That pride seemed to silently declare: She was still that Jessica.
Krystal watched wide-eyed from the side, unable to resist muttering softly, “Jessica, when you played against me before, you weren’t this accurate.”
“Maybe it was luck. Your turn.”
Jessica stood up, looking at her perfect strike, her eyes curving as she revealed a very satisfied smile.
She couldn’t help turning back, throwing a provocative glance at Lin Xiuyuan.
The provoked Lin Xiuyuan remained unhurried, picking up another ball with a casual posture, yet his release was as precise as ever.
The pins opposite tumbled down in a crash.
“Strike!”
Lin Xiuyuan just chuckled lightly, as if he didn’t care about the result at all.
Then he looked at Jessica. “Not bad.”
His tone so casual, yet it felt like he was deliberately needling her.
Jessica gave him a cold glance without responding, but in her heart, she was even more determined not to give this guy any chance, or else she felt something strange would happen.
The scores gradually tightened.
For every subsequent ball, Jessica pursued perfection, allowing no margin for error.
Lin Xiuyuan, however, seemed to be intentionally easing off, sometimes precise, sometimes casual, as if he controlled the entire game’s rhythm.
Krystal sitting nearby grew a bit bored watching, ordered some food and drinks, sat there taking a few photos to send to the group to complain to Yoona and others, while asking if they’d recently chatted with her ‘older sister’.
Actually, she was a bit curious why Jung Soo Yeon had suddenly mentioned Jessica.
The Solve Worries Small Courtyard group in 2025 now had 6 members; aside from Lin Xiuyuan, there were still a handful.
Krystal: 【 Yoona older sister, Taeyeon older sister, have you seen older sister recently? 】
Kim Tae Yeon: 【 Older sister? Jessica? 】
Yoona: 【 Taeyeon older sister, are you dumb? If it’s older sister, of course it’s Jung Soo Yeon older sister. 】
Kim Tae Yeon: 【 When will you little riddle-makers standardize this? 】
Sweet Eun-jung: 【 What’s up? 】
Big Dragon Cub: 【 Oh, so that’s why you older sisters suddenly started typing on your phones—you have this little group. 】
Big Dragon Cub, who had just joined the group not long ago, was lying on the sofa at home, head down, legs straight against the wall, stretching while replying to the group chat.
At the same time, she recalled some situations with Krystal and others before getting involved, feeling a bit resentful.
Krystal looked at these messages and smiled, continuing to ask.
Krystal: 【 See the photos—Xiuyuan had dinner with older sister yesterday, and today he’s here playing a bowling match with her to ask some questions. 】
Kim Tae Yeon: 【 I just saw her last time, nothing unusual, totally normal. 】
Yoona: 【 Yeah, same here—Jung Soo Yeon older sister didn’t tell me anything. 】
Sweet Eun-jung: 【 What’s going on, is it about Jessica? 】
Big Dragon Cub: 【 Last time I met that little rascal, everyone chatted a bit, and they said older sister actually seems pretty worried about herself. 】
Krystal: 【 Ji-yeon, when did you hear that, and from whom? 】
Big Dragon Cub: 【 Xiuyuan said it. 】
Big Dragon Cub: 【 We were a bit tired then, so we chatted, and it came up. 】
Krystal: 【 ??? 】
Yoona: 【 ??? 】
Kim Tae Yeon: 【 ??? 】
Sweet Eun-jung: 【 What are you asking… Wait, Ji-yeon, can you not post these things in the group? 】
Big Dragon Cub: 【 Hehe~ 】
Seeing this, Krystal abruptly looked up at Lin Xiuyuan, who had just won the third game, narrowing her eyes.
But in the end, she didn’t interrupt his match, instead suppressing her feelings for now to settle accounts with him properly later in the evening.
……
……
Meanwhile.
Backstage at a 2013 performance, Girls’ Generation members were doing makeup and styling one after another.
The remaining members and staff were either scrolling phones in corners, chatting quietly, or spacing out.
Yet the entire waiting room’s attention was unanimously drawn to the same corner.
Because there were three figures there.
The top 3 popular members of Girls’ Generation were huddled together whispering about something, mildly surprising staff and even other members.
Because from the situation earlier in the year, their relationship wasn’t bad, but it didn’t seem this good either.
Before, it was only Little Deer running back and forth, but lately, what’s going on—Jung Soo Yeon is now hanging out with Kim Soft Soft too!!!
Is some century-level alliance coming?
Is Taexi CP reviving???
“Older sister, has the thing with uncle been sorted?”
“Mm, I probed a bit—he doesn’t seem to have noticed anything. Probably because after the call, the voice transmission didn’t change much.”
“Your voices didn’t change much to begin with, so that’s normal. Then you won’t have to feel so down anymore; after all, you’ll be able to call often from then on.”
Hearing Jung Soo Yeon’s calm reply, Kim Soft Soft smiled. “Mm, Xiuyuan said that after the other side heard the news, she was really happy for a long time.”
Beside her, Little Deer gritted her teeth and squeezed out, “How could she not be happy—Xiuyuan got completely devoured by older sister.”
At this, she scratched her fringe in frustration. “The people over there are way too bold—why do they all just pounce and devour once they set their sights, without any restraint?”
“Yoona, saying that as if you’ve never had a one-night stand. Restraint? What’s the use of restraint?”
Jung Soo Yeon rolled her eyes, unceremoniously retorting.
But Little Deer said quite seriously, “Can Xiuyuan be lumped in with a one-night stand?”
The atmosphere went quiet for a moment.
Then Kim Soft Soft suddenly spoke up, changing the subject. “So what exactly are you planning to do? Never mind the rest—how are you going to keep sending Xiuyuan over there every day?”
“Older sister, it’s not our fault—we have no time, no time to play, no time to eat. How are we supposed to call Xiuyuan back?”
Facing Little Deer’s complaints, Kim Soft Soft cut straight to the point. “Use your body, Yoona. Don’t tell me you think you can’t beat that one over there.”
“I…”
Little Deer was about to blurt out “Of course not,” but her mind flashed to 2025 Yoona’s mature aura.
Compared to that, her current self was still a bit immature, needing a few more years to develop…
She was at a loss for words.
Seeing her embarrassment, Jung Soo Yeon curved her lips and couldn’t help laughing.
But the next second, Kim Soft Soft suddenly turned the spear on her. “What about you, Soo Yeon? You now shouldn’t fear any situation, right?”
Jung Soo Yeon’s expression paused slightly, and only after a moment did she slowly say, “I’m hesitating.”
She had her own plan.
Thinking of what she discussed with Lin Xiuyuan over dinner yesterday, her expression grew somewhat solemn. “I’m waiting for an opportunity, to give Xiuyuan a big surprise and gift then.”
After staring at Jung Soo Yeon for a bit, Kim Soft Soft looked back at Little Deer. “Soo Yeon has her own ideas, Yoona—you’re really wasting time here.”
Little Deer muttered unconvinced, “What? Older sister, I didn’t plan to do that either. Besides, that guy has so many lovers in 2025, playing happily—why would he come back for us?”
As soon as the words fell, a sharp glint flashed in Kim Soft Soft’s eyes.
Her gaze sharpened, exuding killing intent.
“Fight for him. How will you know he won’t pay attention if you don’t fight? Anyway, I think those in 2025 are a bit like NPCs, just there for Xiuyuan to gain experience and grow. From the start, the real world is this side—make him stay; at least we can find him when we need to, and not let him be dazzled by those old… seniors.”
As Girls’ Generation’s captain at her peak, the killing intent surging in Kim Soft Soft’s chest was even fiercer than Jung Soo Yeon’s earlier.
It was just that such a demeanor rarely showed behind the lens.
Most times, she restrained her edge, keeping it only under the stage lighting.
Then, Little Deer hesitated before recounting verbatim what Jung Soo Yeon had said during their previous “meeting.”
“Later we found out there wasn’t much change. The only difference was after Sulli moved in, he started coming back often. Otherwise, we probably wouldn’t see him in the evenings.”
Hearing this, Kim Soft Soft recalled how Lin Xiuyuan had rushed back from 2025 to the hotel guest room the day before yesterday.
She pursed her lips, her eyes flashing as she said coldly, “Then since that’s the case, someone should sacrifice themselves to feed the tiger.”
As soon as Kim Soft Soft spoke, the scene fell into dead silence.
Jung Soo Yeon’s previously calm expression completely froze, disbelief flashing in her eyes.
Little Deer’s eyes widened, her jaw nearly dropping.
“Older sister, are you crazy?” Little Deer blurted out, her voice trembling slightly.
“Crazy?”
Kim Soft Soft slowly hooked her lips into a smile, but it was as cold as a blade. “You’re all too naive. Xiuyuan isn’t an ordinary man, and the women over there in 2025 keep coming one after another—they’re no innocent flowers. You think ‘restraint’ or ‘waiting’ will tie him to your side?”
“But…” Little Deer tried to argue.
“No buts.”
Kim Soft Soft’s gaze was sharp as she cut her off. “If you want Xiuyuan to have any thoughts about this side in 2013, someone has to step up and become the presence here he can’t bear to part with. Not just saying you love him or occasional company, but thoroughly, with no way out, bound together.”
These words carried the dominance and ruthlessness she’d accumulated as captain for years.
Jung Soo Yeon fell silent; deep down, she knew Kim Soft Soft had a point.
It was just that this direct and forceful approach was too shocking, not her style.
Little Deer fully panicked. “Older sister, you’re not joking, right? This, this is too…”
“Too intense?”
Kim Soft Soft smiled faintly. “This is still normal. Compared to 2025 when I just went straight for it, I’ve actually lost some courage now.”
A few minutes later, Kim Soft Soft simply shared her idea in the 【Solve Worries Small Courtyard】 group.
The group went quiet instantly, then messages popped up one after another.
Ham Eun-jung: 【 Taeyeon, are you serious? 】
Kim Soft Soft: 【 Of course—if we want to grow, get better, have better, we need this. 】
Park Ji-yeon: 【 Whoa, older sister, this is harsher than any plot in my script. But I support older sister—you’re right, those old women are too ruthless. 】
Kim Soft Soft: 【 Ji-yeon, I heard you got KO’d. 】
Park Ji-yeon: 【 … 】
Sulli: 【 Hiss~ Older sister, can I just watch the drama? 】
The three were shocked at almost the same time.
They all knew Kim Soft Soft was always meticulous, but they hadn’t expected her to propose this “head-on clash” method.
As expected of the captain who reached the top.
Brave, really brave.
Sorting the plot—keep reading like this for now, Ten Thousand Daily will continue, just give me time to straighten out the plotline first~
