Chapter 62 Did you sleep with Jessica?
At the gate, Chen Ran remained seated in his car.
Seeing the gate open and Jessica Jung walk out, he quickly opened the car door and got out.
"Sika".
Jessica Jung looked up, her eyes still a little red, her hair a bit messy, and her expression blank.
If someone who didn't know better saw her like this, they would probably think she had just been... you know... inside the house.
"I'm leaving now."
Jessica Jung said something in a slightly hoarse voice, then turned and walked towards her car.
"Wait a moment."
Chen Ran called out to her, "Let me take you home. I'm a little worried about you driving back in your current condition."
Jessica Jung paused, pursed her lips, and finally nodded.
Her mind is really in a mess right now.
So Jessica Jung got into Chen Ran's car and left the villa.
The car drove smoothly on the road, and it was so quiet inside that you could hear the two of them breathing.
Chen Ran glanced at Jessica Jung, who was staring blankly out the car window, but didn't try to start a conversation.
He knew that Jessica Jung needed to be alone to process things; the emotional ups and downs and the shock she had experienced tonight had been too great.
About five minutes later, Jessica Jung's voice suddenly rang out:
"Chen Ran".
"Hmm?" Chen Ran replied immediately.
"I'm not going back to the dorm. I'm going to my home in the South City District. I want to be alone tonight."
"Okay, what's the address?"
Jessica Jung turned her head, entered the address into the navigation, then turned her head back to look out the car window, remaining silent.
Chen Ran glanced at the route and turned right at the intersection.
After a distance, Jessica Jung's voice suddenly rang out again.
"Chen Ran, that...person, what kind of person is she?"
Chen Ran knew that the person Zheng Xiuyan was referring to was Jessica.
"You should know better than I what kind of person she is; she's another version of you."
"She's just a bit older and has experienced more, but her fundamental personality hasn't changed much."
Jessica Jung's eyes flickered slightly as she gently bit her lip.
Yes, that's another version of myself, and I even asked her what kind of person she was.
From their brief interaction, she could sense that the person's underlying personality was the same as hers.
She just hasn't fully accepted it yet.
"So, have you two been living together all this time?"
"Yes." Chen Ran nodded.
Jessica Jung nodded silently and did not speak again.
After a distance, at the intersection, the light is red.
Chen Ran lightly pressed the brake pedal, and the phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone; it was Jessica calling.
"Feed"
"Why aren't they back yet? I remember Girls' Generation's dorm was pretty close by."
Beside her, Jessica Jung pursed her lips.
She heard a voice that sounded exactly like her own.
"Oh, Jessica said she wants to go back to her home in the South District. I'm still on my way."
"Alright, be careful on your way, and remember to come back early."
"it is good."
The phone call ended, the traffic light turned green, Chen Ran stepped on the gas, and the car started moving again.
The car remained quiet until it arrived at her home in the southern part of the city.
Jessica Jung unbuckled her seatbelt and looked at Chen Ran.
"Um... I've already arranged with Jessica to go see her tomorrow. Will you be home tomorrow?"
Jessica just said that only Chen Ran can open the door to 2012.
"I'll be home until 9 a.m., and I have an audition for a film tomorrow, so I have to go to the set."
"Okay, I understand. I'll be there before 9 o'clock."
Jessica Jung nodded, and was about to open the door and get out of the car when she suddenly remembered something and turned back:
"Um... if you don't have anything else to do, could you come to my house for a bit? I'd like to tell you more about Jessica and that house."
Chen Ran paused slightly, glanced at the time, thought for a moment, and nodded, saying, "Okay."
He parked the car, got out with Jessica Jung, and walked into the two-story detached villa in front of them.
At the entrance, Jessica Jung bent down slightly and took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet.
"We don't have any extra slippers at home. If you don't mind, you can wear my dad's pair for now. He hasn't worn them much either."
"It's okay, I don't mind."
Chen Ran changed into slippers and went into the house with Jessica Jung.
He looked around the house; the layout was similar to his own.
"Please have a seat, I'll go get you a bottle of water."
"it is good."
Chen Ran sat down on the sofa, and a few minutes later, Jessica Jung returned.
In his hand, besides a bottle of water, he also had a wine glass.
She handed the water to Chen Ran, and seeing him looking at the wine glass in his hand with a puzzled expression, she explained:
"Oh, I'm thinking of having some red wine, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. But you should just have some water, you still have to drive back later."
Chen Ran smiled and said, "Okay."
He understands Jessica Jung's thoughts, as long as she doesn't drink too much.
Jessica Jung placed the wine glass on the coffee table and turned to get a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet.
She brought out the wine, sat down on the carpet next to the coffee table, and inserted the corkscrew into the neck of the wine bottle.
Suddenly, the telephone rang.
This time it's Jessica Jung's phone.
Jessica Jung glanced at the caller ID; it was Krystal Jung calling.
She pressed the answer button and then pressed the speakerphone button.
"Hey, Jessica."
"...Um"
Jessica Jung responded, but a strange look appeared on her face.
Upon hearing the name Jessica, she immediately thought of herself in 2025.
"What's wrong?"
"Why aren't you replying to my messages? It's been almost an hour. Did you fall asleep again?"
"puff"
Hearing this comment, Chen Ran, who was standing next to him, almost burst out laughing, but quickly held it back.
Jessica Jung's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said shyly and angrily:
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? I was busy with something just now, okay?"
"Oh, have you seen the news online? Shirley said that Chen Ran was the one who helped them at noon. Did you know about this? Why don't you go and ask Chen Ran if he was injured?"
Jessica Jung glanced at Chen Ran beside her: "He's fine, I just asked him."
Chen Ran was indeed fine, but she was in trouble.
Thinking of Jessica in 2025, and the phone call Jessica made in the house, Jessica's expression became increasingly strange.
Soojung, do you know that you might have an older sister and a family member who looks exactly like you?
Krystal Jung's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Oh, that's good. I'll hang up now. Get some rest."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Jessica Jung looked at Chen Ran, about to explain that she didn't actually like sleeping that much.
Chen Ran seemed to have guessed what she was going to say and smiled:
"I know you don't like sleeping that much, just like Jessica... um, you at 25."
Jessica Jung was slightly taken aback, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
What do you mean I'm the same as Jessica? We're actually two different people.
She didn't speak, but nodded silently, opened the red wine, poured a little into a wine glass, tilted her head back slightly, and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing her drink, she didn't forget her business and turned to Chen Ran to talk about the house and Jessica.
Chen Ran answered almost every question, resolving all of Jessica Jung's doubts.
The reason why people have an instinctive fear and unease about the unknown is because they don't understand it.
As she learned more, Jessica Jung's unease gradually disappeared.
After chatting for nearly half an hour, she finished her glass of red wine again, then looked at Chen Ran and suddenly spoke:
"So, did you sleep with Jessica?"
