Chapter 35: “want To Take Over The Nest, Huh, Jung Soo Yeon?”
Lin Xiuyuan, who hadn’t slept all night, slept straight through until late afternoon. When he woke up, the sky outside the window was already filled with sunset glow, clearly signaling that nightfall was imminent.
And what woke him up wasn’t waking up naturally, but a familiar voice…
“Hey, Lin Xiuyuan, get up. Are you a pig? Sleeping all day.”
The shout wasn’t too loud or too soft, but just right to pull Lin Xiuyuan back from his dreams.
Then he stretched lazily, yawned, and lounged on the bed for a while.
“Hey, Lin Xiuyuan!”
When the shout came again from the stairwell, he lazily replied, “I’m up, I’m up.”
A few minutes later, Lin Xiuyuan, now wearing pajamas, came to the stairwell and saw Jung Soo Yeon standing on the second floor, scrolling on her mobile phone. “Rare sight. I thought I’d wake up before you.”
“I’m hungry.”
Looking up, Jung Soo Yeon furrowed her delicate brows, pouted, her tone soft.
The little expression wasn’t exaggerated, but it was cute enough.
This action was enough to instantly wake Lin Xiuyuan up, his spirits lifting as he excitedly laughed, “Wow, Jung Soo Yeon, were you acting cute just now? Acting cute? Can you do it again?”
Jung Soo Yeon, who had wanted to give him a little benefit, instantly rolled her eyes at him.
Last night she thought this guy had wised up, but he was still so silly, useless except for being young and good-looking.
Hit by the eye roll, Lin Xiuyuan stepped aside and continued, “Hahaha, don’t just stand there silly, come up and sit. I’ll go wash up.”
Without hesitation, Jung Soo Yeon took a few steps up to the third floor and checked out the super luxurious master bedroom of this villa.
From the steady and grand entryway area, to the master bedroom sleeping area cleverly enclosed by structural walls, then to the huge walk-in closet integrated with glass doors and lighting system, and a glance at the bathroom overlooking the courtyard.
Finally, she came to the office area hidden in the corner, which could also serve as a rest area.
Looking at that empty desk and cabinet, Jung Soo Yeon suddenly realized and looked back at the way she came. “You don’t have a door on this third floor?”
“No.” Lin Xiuyuan’s voice came from behind. “But this whole villa is mine, with or without a door it’s the same. I don’t plan to let anyone else in here anyway; the privacy is sufficient.”
After saying that, he told her to sit for a bit first, then turned to go wash up.
While Lin Xiuyuan was washing up, Jung Soo Yeon turned back to the area that fascinated her most—the walk-in closet.
So when Lin Xiuyuan came out after washing up, he was startled by her standing in the walk-in closet. “Whoa, what the fck, do you walk without making a sound?”
Jung Soo Yeon, who was teased, stomped on the carpet on the floor a few times. “You have carpet throughout the house; isn’t it normal to walk without sound?”
Then she pointed to this huge walk-in closet. “Lin Xiuyuan, isn’t it a bit wasteful giving this space to you?”
“Hm?”
Lin Xiuyuan glanced at the walk-in closet; his clothes didn’t even fill one corner.
Not to mention the modular watch areas and glasses areas, which were basically empty.
But he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. “Wasteful how? What isn’t mine is wasteful. What’s mine, even if just sitting there, looks good.”
Hearing this, Jung Soo Yeon smiled brightly, her eyes curving as she tried to charm him a bit. “Then let me use this walk-in closet.”
“This is the master bedroom; how can I give it to you?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Xiuyuan realized something. While dodging Jung Soo Yeon’s protest, he reached out to pinch the back of her neck and pushed her out the door. “Oh, trying to take over my nest, huh? Dream on, Jung Soo Yeon.”
“You can’t use all that space; it’s really wasteful.”
Lin Xiuyuan paused, gazed at Jung Soo Yeon ahead, and smiled. “Since you put it that way, then fill up what’s missing in this walk-in closet yourself.”
Jung Soo Yeon was stunned; she hadn’t expected to dig her own pit.
“Ah, I don’t want to.”
“Then I’ll ask your sister.”
He didn’t know if other people would see their relationship progress rapidly after gaining an exclusive big secret.
But Lin Xiuyuan and Jung Soo Yeon’s relationship had indeed heated up quickly and become intimate after that evening.
From initial politeness, to later cursing each other on the phone, to urging Lin Xiuyuan to open the door face-to-face, the two seemed to have covered the trust accumulation that many friends need half a month or even years for, all in just half a month.
After pushing Jung Soo Yeon out of the walk-in closet, Lin Xiuyuan quickly changed into sports attire and came back to her. “Let’s go, out to find food.”
“Where to?”
“Back to 2013. You don’t want to stay here, do you? You haven’t gone back for a day; is your identity really not going to be questioned?”
As Lin Xiuyuan pointed out the issue, Jung Soo Yeon gave up the idea of going out for a stroll here and followed his steps through the time-space door back to 2013.
Facts proved Lin Xiuyuan was right.
Just as the two returned to this side of the apartment, her mobile phone started a bombardment of messages.
Missed calls, texts, notifications came flooding in.
Jung Soo Yeon was pinned in place for about ten minutes sorting it all out, then looked toward Lin Xiuyuan on the sofa. “Let’s go; I’m really hungry. Out to find some food.”
“Where to eat?”
Getting up, Lin Xiuyuan asked.
“Let’s eat barbecue, the place Soo Jung took you to last time that we found out about.”
Facing Jung Soo Yeon’s statement, Lin Xiuyuan corrected, “First, we didn’t eat there; second, only you found out, not the others.”
“Fine, fine, can we head out now?”
“Let’s go.”
By the time the two drove the car out of the parking lot, it was completely dark, neon lights lit up on the street, and the city entered the rhythm of night.
Following the navigation set by Jung Soo Yeon, Lin Xiuyuan drove the car quickly into the rush-hour traffic after work, chatting with her while braking and inching forward.
What they didn’t know was that in another sedan about ten meters away from them.
The young girl who had just heard about it from Soo Jung that morning was now sitting in the front passenger seat, singing excitedly and wiggling her body.
“Why are you so happy? We’re shooting a poster tomorrow, and you’re out eating barbecue tonight. When your stomach doesn’t shrink later, you’ll regret it.”
Ham Eun-jung, driving from the driver’s seat, smiled and reminded her, though she was actually pretty happy inside.
For certain reasons, it had been a long time since she saw this little one so happy. So when she heard her suggest barbecue earlier, she agreed almost without hesitation.
“Green light, older sister, gogogo~”
“Oh.”
“Green light, Lin Xiuyuan, go.”
“Okay.”
Bad weather today, major power outage in the industrial park, so slacking off at the company during the day was slower than usual. Sorry about that.
