Chapter 61 The First Meeting of the Two Js
Jessica smiled secretly upon seeing this.
Let me give you another shock.
You're not the only one with a younger sister; I have one too.
She held the phone, which was on speakerphone, in her hand so that Jessica Jung could hear her more clearly.
"You're asleep, Soojung?"
Krystal's somewhat muffled voice came through the phone again.
"Yeah, I filmed all day today, I'm exhausted. What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Jessica looked at Jessica Jung, who was staring blankly across from her, and smiled slightly:
"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to make a call to ask what you're doing. You can go back to sleep."
"Okay, sure."
Press the hang-up button with your finger, and the call ends.
The restaurant fell silent again.
Jessica Jung was in an uproar.
The brain, which had just restarted, crashed again under this enormous shock.
Oh no, not only have my face and voice been stolen.
Even his own sister...
What on earth is going on?
Seeing Jessica Jung looking like this, Jessica felt an even greater sense of satisfaction.
Hmph, if I can't control you, then what's the point of living those thirteen years longer than you?
Having completely seized the initiative, Jessica stopped doing anything to antagonize Jessica Jung.
After all, it's another version of myself; I can't really burn out the CPU of its brain.
She leaned back slightly in her chair, thought for a moment, and then stood up.
However, this action made Jessica Jung on the other side suddenly come to her senses. She subconsciously stood up, took two steps back, and looked at her warily.
If you look closely, beneath that vigilance lies a hint of confusion and helplessness.
Jessica paused for a moment, then rolled her eyes, ignored her, and swayed her slender waist as she walked toward the living room.
Behind her, Jessica Jung watched her retreating figure, a complex look flashing in her eyes.
How come they even walk in the exact same way?
Could it really be another version of myself?
A few seconds later, she saw Jessica return with a fruit platter in her hand.
Jessica sat down again in the opposite seat, picked up a grape and put it in her mouth.
She ignored Jessica Jung across from her and continued eating.
After a moment, she clapped her hands, leaned back slightly in her chair, looked up at Jessica Jung, and said in a languid tone:
"Are you feeling any better now?"
Jessica Jung glanced at her, nodded with pursed lips, and sat back down in the chair.
Actually, her mind was still a mess, but now she wanted to figure out what was going on.
"Ask me anything you want to ask," Jessica said calmly.
I thought she would be a little nervous meeting Jessica Jung, but she wasn't nervous at all; she was calm and composed.
Jessica Jung frowned slightly, her lips pressed tightly together, and it took her a long time to speak before she finally asked, "Who...are you?"
"Who am I? I'm Jessica, also known as Jung Soo-yeon."
She paused as she spoke, then gracefully crossed her legs, a smile appearing in her eyes.
"To be precise, I am Jessica in 2025, which is you 13 years from now."
Jessica in 2025, and me 13 years from now...
Jessica Jung's pupils contracted again.
"Who did you call just now...?"
"It's Krystal, specifically Jung Soo-jung in 2025."
Krystal in 2025.
Jessica Jung's slightly unfocused pupils flickered faintly under the crystal chandelier in the restaurant.
It took her a long time to finally process the information.
Is this some kind of supernatural event?
Although it wasn't the ghost or anything she had just been thinking about, it was something like time travel in a fantasy movie.
Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the futuristic restaurant.
Indeed, if it's not from the future, then where do these decorations and technologies that don't belong to this era come from?
Moreover, she had just witnessed the entire room change its appearance in an instant.
It's even more sci-fi than a sci-fi movie.
"Is it because of this house?"
"That's right, it's definitely because of this house."
Jessica nodded and then briefly explained the situation of the house.
Jessica Jung lowered her eyes slightly, processing the information.
Total lunar eclipse... two houses joined together...
The house has two doors, one leading to 2012 and the other to 2025...
She felt that her worldview was being gradually reshaped.
Seeing this, Jessica didn't say anything more and waited for Jessica Jung to finish processing the news.
After a long pause, Jessica Jung looked up again at her other self opposite her and confirmed:
"So, are you really me in 2025? Me 13 years from now?"
Jessica shrugged: "What else? Even with plastic surgery, you can't look like me."
Jessica Jung fell silent again, and after a long while, she finally spoke:
"So, Chen Ran isn't actually my fan. You're the one who sent him to the private party and told me that Quan Ningyi is a fraud?"
"right."
"So, you were fooled by Quan Ningyi?"
"..."
Why do you have to bring up something you don't want to talk about?
You should be asking me what I'll be like in the future, and whether I'll be doing well.
That's the normal logic, isn't it?
Actually, Jessica Jung's mind was still in a semi-conscious state; everything that had just happened was just too shocking.
Even now, looking at Jessica's face, which is exactly the same as hers, and her almost identical habitual movements and expressions, she still feels a little unreal.
Seeing that Jessica was silent, Jessica Jung guessed the answer.
"So, you wanted to change the fact that you were deceived, which is why you let Chen Ran go to the private party."
"...Um."
"So every time Chen Ran met with me after that, it was at your behest?"
Jessica shook her head: "Of course not. Chen Ran isn't a robot. He has his own thoughts. Except for the first private party, which he went to because I asked him to, he decided to go to all the subsequent parties on his own."
Jessica Jung nodded silently, and after a moment, she suddenly stood up.
"I need to go back and sort out what happened tonight; my mind is a bit of a mess."
Jessica nodded understandingly: "Okay, then you can go back now."
Back when the houses were first merged, even with her experience, it took her a day or two to fully accept the concept of time-space connection.
And that's even more true for Jessica Jung, who's only in her early twenties.
The fact that she can sit here and talk to me face-to-face for a while shows that she has a very strong ability to accept things.
Jessica Jung turned and walked towards the main entrance.
"Hey, your bag."
Jessica walked quickly to the living room, took the bag from the sofa, and handed it to her.
Jessica Jung paused, reached out and took the bag: "Thank you."
He glanced at Jessica, then immediately looked away awkwardly.
She still finds it hard to look at this face that is exactly the same as her own.
Upon reaching the gate, Jessica Jung changed her shoes.
Just as he was about to open the door and leave, he suddenly paused, turned to look at Jessica, and pursed his lips.
"I'll come again tomorrow."
She actually had a lot of questions she wanted to ask her 2025 self, but her mind was just too chaotic.
Jessica paused slightly upon hearing this, then nodded.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow."
Jessica Jung didn't say anything more, opened the door, and left the house that had brought her wave after wave of shocks tonight.
