Chapter 5: She's not going to give up for nothing.
"Unnie, are you interested in Kwon Ning-il?"
Standing next to Jessica Jung, Yoona saw Kwon Ning-il walk away and whispered in Jessica Jung's ear.
Jessica Jung blinked: "No, I just thought his stories about the fashion industry were quite interesting. I've always been interested in fashion."
"Oh, I see."
Yoona nodded, glanced at Hyoyeon beside her, and said nothing more.
She actually felt that the way this guy named Kwon Ning-il looked at Jessica Jung just now was a little strange.
However, since Kwon Ning-il was a friend introduced by Kim Hyo-yeon, she couldn't say much right now and could only wait for a private opportunity later.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Lin Yoona caught a glimpse of a tall figure walking in their direction.
The man's goal was clear: he walked straight up to Jessica Jung, calmly picked up his champagne glass, and smiled at her.
"Jessicaxi, hello, it's nice to meet you, I'm your fan."
Jessica Jung was slightly stunned. When she came to her senses, she quickly raised her champagne glass and lightly clinked it with Chen Ran's.
"Hello, thank you for your liking."
Her eyes quickly swept over Chen Ran.
An Armani suit, a Vacheron Constantin watch, Gucci shoes, coupled with the other person's outstanding appearance and composed demeanor...
Do I have such high-quality fans?
Beside them, Yoona, Tiffany, and Hyoyeon exchanged a glance and then shook their heads slightly.
None of them had ever seen this man before.
Chen Ran looked at Jessica Jung with his smile unchanged, and took his phone out of his pocket with his left hand.
Upon seeing this, Jessica Jung's eyes flickered.
but...
"Jessicaxi, I have some information here. You can take a look; I believe you'll find it interesting."
"Why?"
A look of surprise flashed across Jessica Jung's face.
Wasn't they going to ask for my contact information? How did it turn into them wanting to show me some information?
Is this some new way to start a conversation?
Chen Ran didn't speak, but simply moved the lit phone a little closer to Jessica Jung.
He values efficiency and prefers to get things done quickly; otherwise, once Quan Ning returns, complications are bound to arise.
After glancing at the phone handed to her and then at Chen Ran, Jessica Jung finally took the phone.
Although the three people next to Lin Yoona were curious, they did not rashly go over to take a look.
Jessica Jung slowly slid her fingers down, her puzzled expression suddenly froze, and then she frowned, her face turning cold.
She looked up at Chen Ran.
Chen Ran reached for his phone and said, "If Jessicaxi is interested, I can send you the whole file."
Jessica Jung hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
She took out her phone and added Chen Ran on Kakao.
Chen Ran sent the document over, glanced in the direction of the restroom, and saw Quan Ningyi appear at the door.
He looked at Jessica Jung and smiled, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. It was nice to meet you."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
Then the three people next to Lim Yoona approached Jessica Jung.
"Unnie, he just..."
Jessica Jung shook her head as she watched Chen Ran's retreating figure: "We'll talk about it when we get back."
She's a little confused herself now.
If Chen Ran had said he was her fan, she might have believed him even a little bit.
Now, she doesn't believe it at all.
The man appeared suddenly and left just as abruptly.
It was as if he had appeared here tonight solely to show me this document.
But why would he do that?
She didn't even know his name, and had never even seen him before tonight.
While a mysterious fan who has secretly liked her for a long time could be a rough explanation, Jessica Jung's intuition told her that it wasn't that.
"Jessica, what are you looking at?"
A somewhat greasy voice rang out.
When Kwon Ning returned, he noticed that Jessica Jung's eyes were fixed on one direction. He looked in that direction but didn't find anything unusual.
Jessica Jung snapped out of her daze, turned to look at Ningyi Kwon, and shook her head: "It's nothing."
Her tone of voice was noticeably colder than when she had spoken to him earlier.
Sensing Jessica Jung's obvious aloofness, Kwon Ning was taken aback and was momentarily confused.
He then tried to use fashion-related topics that Jessica Jung was interested in to try and get back closer to her, but all he got was Jessica Jung's still distant attitude.
Quan Ningyi was stunned.
I just went to the bathroom, how come the world has changed when I came back?
---
At this moment, Chen Ran had already left the banquet hall and gotten into a taxi to go home.
He had successfully completed his mission for the night and had also obtained Jessica Jung's contact information, which would make things much easier for him in the future.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the detached villa.
Chen Ran paid the fare, got out of the car, turned around, walked to the door of 2012, opened the door, and went inside.
"You're back~"
Jessica's slightly childish voice came from inside the house.
"Um."
Chen Ran responded and changed into slippers before entering the house.
Jessica leaned lazily against the sofa and smiled at him with narrowed eyes.
Chen Ran was momentarily dazed.
It wasn't because Jessica's smile was particularly stunning, but because he had just seen Jessica Jung not long ago, and now he was home to see Jessica, who exuded a mature charm.
The two looked almost identical, yet their temperaments were completely different, which momentarily left him somewhat dazed.
Chen Ran quickly came to his senses, and sat down on the sofa, keeping a little distance from Jessica.
"I showed the documents to Jessica Jung, so she shouldn't be fooled again."
"Um."
Jessica looked down at her phone and nodded casually, "I saw it."
"You saw it?"
Chen Ran was taken aback: "What do you mean? Where did you see that?"
Jessica looked up, saw Chen Ran blinking, then gave a cryptic smile and pointed to her head.
"Just now, a memory suddenly popped into my head: you meeting Jessica Jung in the banquet hall and showing her the documents."
"hiss"
Chen Ran took a slight breath and after a long pause, said, "So, your memories will be updated accordingly because of the changes in 2012, right?"
Jessica nodded: "That's how it is at the moment."
"Tsk, it even has an automatic update function, that's pretty good."
Chen Ran quickly calmed down and casually made a joke.
This is actually reasonable.
Since the past has been changed, Jessica's memories of the past should indeed have changed as well.
"This precisely demonstrates that the past has truly changed."
"Yes." Jessica nodded, her eyes sparkling.
Now she is certain that those regrets of the past can truly be undone.
Her heart began to churn, and she found it difficult to calm down for a long time.
Chen Ran stood up: "I'm going to take a shower first."
"it is good."
After taking only two steps, Chen Ran suddenly stopped.
He turned to Jessica and said, "I'll sleep in my guest room tonight."
Jessica paused for a moment, then smiled at Chen Ran with narrowed eyes again: "Okay."
The two nights before, in order to test whether the house would revert to its original state after they woke up, and whether any other unusual things would happen, the two slept together.
I went back a few days later and nothing happened, so there was no need to sleep together anymore.
Jessica stared at Chen Ran's back for two seconds before looking away, a smile still on her lips.
This young man is quite sensible.
That's fine, since we've only known each other for a few days.
Although she did have a slight physical attraction to Chen Ran, that didn't mean she was going to give herself to him for nothing.
As someone from the future world, how could Jessica possibly give up so easily?
It should be that only she has the right to tease Chen Ran.
She would never give it away for nothing.
