171: Chapter 171 The Little Iceberg Melted

These past two days, he had been busy handling f(x)'s post-comeback matters while also having to follow Im Yoona, running between both sides; he returned quite late today.

Liu Zijun asked casually, "Sulli, didn't you say you had a schedule tonight?"

Choi Sulli's heart tightened, but her face maintained a smile.

"Victoria unnie and Luna unnie went; we didn't. They've been exhausted lately, so Krystal and I are relatively free."

Liu Zijun nodded and turned toward the bathroom.

He didn't notice Choi Sulli watching his back, her eyes full of anxiety.

Hot water in the bathroom washed over his tired body, but Liu Zijun felt increasingly sleepy, his eyelids heavy as lead.

He thought he was just too tired today and didn't think much of it at first, drying himself off and returning to the bedroom.

Just as he lay on the bed, an intense drowsiness swept over him, and he lost consciousness almost instantly.

Choi Sulli sat restlessly in the living room, her palms covered in cold sweat.

She checked the time, gritted her teeth, and went to the master bedroom, seeing that Liu Zijun was already asleep.

The effect of these sleeping pills was quite good; she had quietly asked a doctor for them before when she couldn't sleep.

After Liu Zijun appeared, she hadn't used them, but she didn't expect them to come in handy again today.

With a blushing face, she walked to the guest room door and knocked gently.

"Krystal, oppa is asleep."

The door opened, and Krystal Jung walked out with her head down, her cheeks burning red.

She wore loose pajamas Choi Sulli had found for her, her long hair draped over her shoulders, revealing a slender neck, so nervous her breathing was hurried.

"Then... I'm going in."

Krystal Jung's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz; after speaking, she quickly walked into Liu Zijun's bedroom on the second floor and softly closed the door.

Only a warm yellow nightlight was on in the bedroom; Liu Zijun lay on the bed, breathing evenly, his handsome profile looking exceptionally soft under the light.

Krystal Jung stood by the bed, looking at his sleeping form, her heart beating as if it would jump out of her chest.

She thought of her sister's predicament and her own hidden but even more fiery feelings; taking a deep breath, she slowly climbed onto the bed and carefully lay down beside him.

The moment their skin touched, a warm sensation transmitted, making her whole body tremble.

Closing her eyes, she took off her pajamas, gathered her courage, and gently leaned closer to him.

Just as her lips were about to touch his cheek, the previously sleeping Liu Zijun suddenly opened his eyes.

There was no trace of sleepiness in those deep eyes; instead, they held a hint of understanding and playfulness.

Krystal Jung froze in terror, as if rooted to the spot, her cheeks instantly flushing so deep she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Liu Zijun's voice carried a hint of raspiness but still reached Krystal Jung's ears clearly.

"Little Iceberg, you and Jin-ri certainly have a lot of nerve."

He had sensed something was wrong with that glass of water long ago, but he hadn't expected it to be the work of these two little girls.

He had guarded against everything, yet he couldn't guard against the "traitor" inside his own home.

Tears welled up in Krystal Jung's eyes, filled with shame and embarrassment; she wanted to get up and flee, but Liu Zijun grabbed her wrist and pinned her beneath him.

Liu Zijun looked down at her, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

"Want to run? Do you really think that doing this to help your silly sister will make us even?"

Krystal Jung turned her face away, not daring to look at him, her voice carrying a hint of a sob.

"I... I just wanted to help my sister."

Liu Zijun gave a light chuckle, his finger gently stroking her flushed cheek.

"Just helping your sister?"

"Then what were you doing just now?"

Krystal Jung's body trembled slightly, but she said stubbornly, "I... I like you too."

These words were like burning her bridges; after saying them, she felt relieved instead, lowering the hands covering her chest and looking up directly into Liu Zijun's eyes.

Those cold eyes were now filled with determination and shyness, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

Seeing the light in her eyes, Liu Zijun's heart stirred slightly.

He had always known this Little Iceberg was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and he had been warned by Victoria Song, but he hadn't expected the girl to be so bold.

He leaned down, his nose almost touching hers, his warm breath fanning across her face.

"You like me, yet you still use this method?"

Krystal Jung's voice held a hint of grievance.

"I didn't have any other choice."

"I don't want to owe you a favor, nor do I want you to overthink things."

Looking at her reddened eyes, the playfulness in Liu Zijun's heart gradually faded, replaced by pure indulgence.

He reached out and gently ruffled her hair, saying, "Silly girl, I was going to help with your sister's matter anyway."

His tone shifted, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"But... since you've delivered yourself to my door, don't even think about running away."

"I'm just worried about Victoria Song and Jessica finding out; they'd probably really kill me!"

Before Krystal Jung could react, Liu Zijun's lips covered hers.

The warm sensation instantly swept through her senses; her body stiffened for a moment and then softened.

Then she closed her eyes, responding clumsily.

Seeing Krystal Jung gradually softening and becoming more and more passionate, the wicked fire in Liu Zijun's heart surged instantly!

The air in the bedroom gradually became ambiguous, and the warm yellow light outlined their overlapping silhouettes.

Listening to the sounds coming from the bedroom in the living room, Choi Sulli felt both anxious and relieved.

She knew that from today on, her relationship with Krystal Jung would become more complicated, yet also more intimate.

But I'm still the leader!

Only, with oppa having so many women, will the portion given to me be small?

But if she didn't help Krystal, she would definitely feel very bad.

Sigh, in the end, it's still her oppa who gets the bargain.

However, as long as it's what he likes, I'll be happy too.

As the night grew deeper, Krystal Jung was completely out of strength.

But Liu Zijun still showed no sign of letting up; the little girl gritted her teeth, staring at Liu Zijun with a defiant look.

Liu Zijun laughed.

He let go of Krystal Jung and gave her a light kiss on the lips.

"You sleep for a bit; I'm going to deal with that little girl Choi Jin-ri!"

"To think there's such a silly girl!"

Krystal Jung nodded dizzily and fell asleep, slumped in the blankets.

There was no trace of coldness in her eyes; instead, they were full of fire.

Meanwhile, Jessica Jung was still tossing and turning in her apartment.

She didn't know what a ridiculous decision her younger sister had made for her.

Nor did she know that the man she had always wanted yet remained proud toward had completely broken into both of their lives.

Liu Zijun got up and went to the guest room to find Choi Sulli; as expected, the girl wasn't asleep.

Seeing Liu Zijun enter, she was startled, then called out in a voice so sweet it was sickening, "Oppa!"

Liu Zijun hugged her directly and said sternly, "Little girl! Do you have any idea what you're doing?"

Choi Sulli wasn't afraid of him at all and said softly, "Because she's Krystal, I couldn't refuse."

Liu Zijun said softly, "Don't let there be a next time!"

Choi Sulli couldn't help but mutter, "Hmph... Oppa is getting a bargain and still acting like the victim!"

"Jin-ri! What did you say?"

"Oppa! I, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
