Chapter 308: Jk Twin Sisters’ “quirks”
Half an hour ago.
After Lin Xiuyuan was continuously marked with two fresh strawberries by Jessica during the live broadcast, he almost fled back to the bedroom in a panic, seeking a moment of peace and avoiding any further accidents or live stream incidents.
Back in the bedroom, Lin Xiuyuan leaned against the headboard and idly scrolled through short videos on his phone, feeling quite comfortable.
After an unknown amount of time, the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated, and the incoming call display on the screen surprised him.
It was Krystal.
Looking at the photo, Lin Xiuyuan slid his finger across the screen and quickly answered, “Hello, Soo Jung~”
Krystal’s voice, clearly tinged with laughter, immediately came from the other end of the line, sounding very happy. “Mhm, Xiuyuan, when are you coming back?”
“Probably in a couple more days. What’s up, miss me?” Lin Xiuyuan replied with a smile, his tone very relaxed.
Krystal’s tone also rose slightly, with a hint of mystery. “Hehe, then guess what, where am I now?”
Her tone made Lin Xiuyuan startled at first, then he paused and asked with some uncertainty, “Ah? If you ask like that, no way, no way you’re also in Magic City, right?”
“Not quite~” Krystal’s laughter became clearer the next second. “I’m at the villa, you know what I mean.”
Lin Xiuyuan understood what she meant as soon as he heard it, and he also smiled. “Got it, wait for me a bit, I’ll be right there.”
“Mhm, okay,” Krystal replied.
Then, less than two minutes after hanging up, Lin Xiuyuan appeared at the villa through the Any Door.
And at a glance, he saw Krystal sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room.
Today, she was wearing a crisply tailored suit set with a light-colored turtleneck sweater underneath, which was both warm and stylish, reflecting her personal fashion sense.
Upon seeing Lin Xiuyuan appear, Krystal’s eyes lit up, and she immediately got up from the sofa to greet him.
Then, without a word, she hugged the man she hadn’t seen in days tightly.
She buried her face deeply in the crook of Lin Xiuyuan’s neck, like a small beast seeking a sense of security, breathing in the comforting aura that belonged to him.
She murmured contentedly and a bit coquettishly, “Hoo~ What’s going on? Lately, I feel like I miss you more and more, Xiuyuan~”
Listening to the affectionate whispers by his ear, Lin Xiuyuan’s heart softened. He smiled and gently stroked her back, teasing her.
“You talk as if we haven’t seen each other for a long time. It hasn’t even been a week. And didn’t you say you’d be a bit more relaxed after this busy period? Just a little more effort.”
Krystal nodded in his arms, but then wiggled her nose and sniffed again, as if she had detected something.
She then abruptly lifted her head from Lin Xiuyuan’s embrace, her eyes narrowed slightly with a scrutinizing gaze, looking him up and down.
“Xiuyuan~” she began, her tone tinged with suspicion. “This scent on you… is very familiar.”
Facing the woman with her sharp sense of smell and her questioning, Lin Xiuyuan didn’t try to conceal or deny it. He simply spread his hands helplessly and retorted, “What do you think?”
“Jessica~” Krystal immediately called out the name precisely. After saying it, she found it a bit amusing and rolled her eyes slightly in exasperation, continuing to press, “Where is she?”
Lin Xiuyuan pointed in the direction he had just come from and explained, “She’s live broadcasting at the apartment in Magic City. I was just resting in my room to get some quiet, and then you called.”
Hearing this, Krystal nodded, indicating she understood.
She then stepped forward again to embrace Lin Xiuyuan once more, burying her face in his neck again, as if trying to use his scent to cover up the scent of someone else that bothered her.
However, this time, because her eyes were open, her gaze fell directly below Lin Xiuyuan’s neck, and then at the slightly open collarbone area of his t-shirt, where she keenly noticed an unusual mark.
The appearance of that mark brought a familiar scene to her mind.
So Krystal stood up straight again, and before the Lin Xiuyuan in front of her could react, with lightning speed, she “swish,” and forcefully lifted the hem of his t-shirt.
Instantly, a “strawberry garden” pattern, more “tragic” than the ones she had left herself and described as “dense,” was exposed to her eyes without any concealment.
Looking at this “striking” picture, Krystal’s mouth fell open. The shocking scene left her momentarily speechless.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, she finally gritted out a sentence filled with shock and disbelief, “Is Jessica crazy?!”
An emotion that was a mix of jealousy, competitiveness, or simply disbelief surged through her.
So Krystal, without a word, grabbed Lin Xiuyuan’s hand and moved towards the Time-Space Door, “Let’s go, take me to find her, I need to have a good talk with her.”
Lin Xiuyuan was amused by her reaction. He gently used his strength to keep her in place and reminded her, “Soo Jung, you want to have a good talk? Then when you did that to me back then, why didn’t you consider the situation?”
After speaking, Lin Xiuyuan paused. Under Krystal’s angry gaze as she turned back, he pointed to the “strawberry garden” on his body and asked a question that made her cheeks blush with both embarrassment and annoyance.
“Honestly, Soo Jung~ Do you two sisters have some common, special hobby in this regard?”
Krystal, rendered speechless by the question, instantly blushed and glared at Lin Xiuyuan with annoyance, not answering directly.
She simply pushed the man in front of her hard and urged, “Stop the nonsense! Open the door!”
Finally, with Lin Xiuyuan’s helpless cooperation, the two of them, via the Time-Space Door, quickly and silently appeared in the bedroom of the apartment in Magic City.
Upon entering the bedroom, Krystal’s sharp eyes, like a detective’s, quickly scanned the surroundings.
The slight disarray of the bedding, the faint, ambiguous scent in the air mixed with Lin Xiuyuan’s and Jessica’s aura… all provided her with instant information.
However, for now, she merely pursed her lips, said nothing, and then asked Lin Xiuyuan to get his phone to check if Jessica’s live broadcast had ended.
The result showed that the live stream room indicated “Live broadcast ended.”
Just in case, Krystal had Lin Xiuyuan refresh the page several times.
After confirming there were no unexpected situations, she took a deep breath, grabbed Lin Xiuyuan’s hand, and pushed open the bedroom door, walking into the living room.
Then, the scene that had made Jessica’s pupils dilate and left her dumbfounded occurred.
Looking at Jessica’s expression, still a bit languid and satisfied after the live broadcast, but now completely stunned by her sudden appearance.
Krystal’s mixed emotions of jealousy, amusement, and the triumph of catching someone in the act reached their peak.
So she lifted her chin, a playful smile on her face, and with her unique, slightly cool yet provocative voice, she slowly greeted, “Jessica~ I can tell you don’t seem very happy to see me.”
Hearing Krystal’s suggestive “Jessica~.”
After the initial shock, Jessica quickly calmed down.
She let out a slight sigh, and her usual calm expression returned to her face. “No, Soo Jung, when did you get here? You were so quiet.”
When asked, Krystal immediately turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan, who was behind her, then turned back, answering with a slight smile.
“When did I get here? Hmm… probably when you were busy planting strawberries on Xiuyuan. What, Jessica, were you too engrossed in broadcasting, or too engrossed in planting, that you didn’t notice?”
This answer accurately guessed Jessica’s “crime scene + method,” causing a barely perceptible blush to appear on her fair cheeks.
She immediately cast a questioning glance at the culprit, Lin Xiuyuan.
She knew Krystal definitely hadn’t been here earlier, so this guy must have told her. Traitor, bastard.
She had no idea that Krystal had just guessed it casually.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiuyuan had already skillfully turned his head, perfectly avoiding eye contact, and walked towards the refrigerator.
As he opened the refrigerator door, he forcefully changed the subject in a very natural tone, “Soo Jung, would you like something to drink? Juice or water? The fruit here is great, fresher than what you buy in Seoul. Want to try some?”
This familiar back, attempting to disappear and escape whenever a “confrontation” arose, made Krystal laugh heartily, and her mood inexplicably lightened.
“Sure, water is fine for me.”
After answering Lin Xiuyuan, she didn’t pursue the matter further. Instead, she sat down on the sofa and looked at Jessica, changing to a more normal topic, “How is it, Jessica? Is live broadcasting here any different from when you were in Seoul?”
“Difference?”
Hearing this question, Jessica relaxed, leaned back on the sofa, and thought for a moment.
“Actually, the format of live broadcasting is pretty much the same. The only difference might be the language of the bullet comments. Most of the bullet comments here are in Chinese, with some Korean and English mixed in. If it were in Seoul or back in LA, it would be the reverse, with Korean and English being dominant, and Chinese mixed in.”
“Oh, so it’s a different region.” Krystal nodded in understanding, then asked curiously, “Can you understand those Chinese bullet comments?”
As soon as she finished asking, she saw a hint of pride on Jessica’s face. She nodded, “It’s okay. I’ve been seriously studying Chinese recently, and I’ve learned quite a few characters. I can understand simple conversations and the general meaning of a few scattered bullet comments.”
Having received her answer, Krystal thought of a practical question. “Then why don’t you hire an assistant to keep an eye on the bullet comments or translate them for you? It would be more convenient and comfortable, saving you the trouble of guessing.”
To her surprise, Jessica raised her hand and pointed at Lin Xiuyuan, who was still “busy” at the refrigerator, her tone laced with helplessness.
“I did. I was planning to rely on him, but this temporary assistant slipped away at a crucial moment. What could I do?”
Hearing this answer, Krystal immediately recalled the villa earlier, where she had seen those strawberries, which were redder and fresher than other marks. She couldn’t help but tease directly.
“Don’t say that, Jessica~ If Xiuyuan is considered your assistant, then weren’t the things you did to him earlier considered ‘workplace sexual harassment’?”
Faced with Krystal’s sharp teasing, Jessica not only wasn’t embarrassed but confidently stated, “But he enjoyed it, so how can that be considered harassment?”
Saying this, as if to prove it, she deliberately raised her voice and called out towards the kitchen, “Lin Xiuyuan~ You tell me, don’t you like it?”
This shout made Lin Xiuyuan, who was picking out fruit in front of the refrigerator, tremble and almost drop the grapes in his hand.
He, who had intended to hide here for a while, had no choice but to poke half his head out of the refrigerator, his face clearly showing “please spare me.”
“You two ladies, you chat amongst yourselves. Can you stop dragging me into it? If I really say what’s on my mind, you’ll probably team up and call me a pervert. After all, you two are sisters, so anything I say won’t be appropriate.”
As expected, Krystal burst into laughter as soon as he said that.
Jessica, however, glared at Lin Xiuyuan resentfully.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan quickly retracted his head. “See? I haven’t said anything yet, and you’re already reacting like this. If I really said something honest, you’d probably go crazy. Forget it, forget it, you guys talk.”
Just as the atmosphere slightly eased, Krystal suddenly remembered something and looked at Jessica with a serious tone, as if a doctor was warning a patient.
“Jessica, a question. You can mark, but don’t apply too much force on the artery. If you use too much force, something bad could happen, it’s very dangerous.”
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Jessica immediately seized the point of counterattack and looked at Krystal meaningfully, a “I understand you” smile curling at the corner of her lips.
“Soo Jung~ Do you think I’m like you? Xiuyuan told me that the area you targeted last time was much more excessive than mine.”
The next second, it was Krystal’s turn to complain coquettishly towards the kitchen, “Xiuyuan!! Why do you tell her everything!!”
Lin Xiuyuan, who had just taken the fruit out of the refrigerator, smiled helplessly upon hearing this complaint.
However, this time he didn’t hide. He directly explained, “Soo Jung, I didn’t report it voluntarily. Jessica guessed it herself, and didn’t you always say you should stand by your actions before?”
His gaze swept over the two Zheng sisters, and Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but laugh and summarize, “But honestly, you two really live up to being sisters. One focuses on ‘planting’ on the neck, while the other insists on licking and… Ah, what the fck! Don’t throw, don’t throw!”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Jessica and Krystal simultaneously grab the pillows within reach and accurately hurl them at him with a mixture of shame and annoyance.
In this situation, Lin Xiuyuan quickly dodged behind the refrigerator door, still protesting.
“Hey~ You guys insisted on pulling me into the discussion, I’m just telling the truth. What the fck… Okay, okay, I won’t say anything, I won’t say anything, is that good enough!”
While complaining, Lin Xiuyuan nimbly picked up the fruit and hid in the kitchen, simultaneously dodging two more pillows that were thrown at him.
In the living room, Jessica and Krystal, who had been somewhat confrontational, exchanged glances after watching Lin Xiuyuan’s flustered dodging.
Then, they both “pfft-ed” and burst into unrestrained laughter, losing all pretense of composure.
What competition or arguments, for the two sisters, were nothing more than a bit of foreplay!!!
