Chapter 305: – Chen Xinya likes me?
The next few days have settled down quite a bit.
There wasn’t any never ending live stream, nor the endless school work like back in high school. Although he still had to learn dancing, but because Lin Jin’s foundations were good, he was now just fixing up his form while learning classical Chinese dance from Teacher Lin.
Basic movements like front leg presses and side leg presses or whatever needed to be repeated everyday for half an hour. According to Teacher Lin, although Lin Jin's body was flexible, his movements were not elegant at all and needed repeated practice.
However, Lin Jin didn’t really like classical Chinese dance. He felt the feeling the dance exuded was too seductive. Even that goofy Chen Xinya person would exude a charming and enchanting vibe when she danced it. Lin Jin couldn’t imagine what it would be like like if he learned this dance.
Once he learned it, would he become like one of those performers who would attract a crowd of hungry wolves the moment they started dancing on stage?
Lin Jin really liked this simpler life. He enjoyed only having four hours of class every morning. After class, he would go back home like a salted fish and lie down on his bed for a nap. Then exhausted all over from dancing from dancing in the evenings, he’d come home and take a hot shower. Later when he’s changed into pajamas, he would run over to Xia Tian’s place to join live stream all the way until around ten at night before yawning his way back home.
After Wen Xuan experienced that birthday party, his relationship with Lin Jin and Wu Min improved even more. He would from time to time brin Wu Min over to Lin Jin’s place for a visit. These two people really liked to drop by in the afternoons when they didn’t have class and then nap on the floor. In their own words, they could feel the spring breeze and the earth’s essence in his rental unit, which makes their sleep extra sweet.
Spring breeze my ass, wasn’t it just because his rental had two large windows which allowed the air to circulate, making it feel more comfortable? The dormitories at school were quite airy too, but the problem was that the two weren’t willing to sweep and mop the floors. They just laid in bed all day and as they were lying in bed, they wouldn’t feel the breeze at all. As for the fan, it they found it too noisy when on.
They only came over to his place so they could enjoy a comfortable nap.
These days, Xia Tian has also started his live streams. Initially, the viewers who were drawn in by Lin Jin were dissatisfied because they wanted to see Lin Jin crossdressing and watch Dota. However, Lin Jin only came over to hang out for one to two hours at night and would just sit at the side chatting with the viewers. He didn’t even crossdress. This led to the angry viewers bombarding Lin Jin’s Weibo account with complaints, demanding the return of his crossdressing streams.
But Lin Jin, who now only remembered to check his Weibo every two or three days, completely ignored their rants.
Chen Xinya was still the same. Her daily life was very similar to that of Lin Jin’s. Study in the morning, nap in the afternoon, and practice dance at night. Her goal was to get result in the city dance competition in over a month, that way she would be more proud when she goes home to tell her family.
As for Zhu Dong who was looking for trouble earlier, this guy seems to have realized that , who used to cause trouble, he seems to have realized that Lin Jin wasn’t as provocative as before. He seemed to no longer bear any hostility towards Lin Jin. He laughed and talked during class without targeting Lin Jin, even occasionally greeting him.
It seems that Zhu Dong, despite being noisy in games and sporting yellow hair, wasn’t all that bad.
On Friday, as Lin Jin left Teacher Lin’s dance lesson, he instinctively wanted to shove his hands in his pockets and slouch, but he suddenly paused. After thinking for a moment, he felt that he shouldn’t give up what he had persisted for the past five days and did not do such an action in the end.
His classical Chinese dance was pretty good now. Although Lin Jin didn’t have the temperament of someone who had been learning dance for years, he still roughly got the hang of the superficial movements.
"Lin Jin, are you heading back to you rental now?" Chen Xinya walked beside him. This girl had an intellectual demeanor and a soothing sound when she speaks.
"Yeah, I got stuff to do when I get back."
At 8:30 pm, the school was nearly deserted, especially around the teaching buildings. Only the girls who had just walked out of the dance practice were left. The school’s certification courses hadn't started yet, and the students aiming to upgrade their degrees to an undergraduate hadn't begun their classes either. Only people from the school's dance team would be around in the evening.
"Want to walk around with me?" Chen Xinya looped her arm through Lin Jin's. She seemed oblivious to how this behavior would cause others to misunderstand, simply regarding Lin Jin as a good sister. "You learned dancing so fast. It took me a month to get to where you are now when I first started learning classical Chinese dance."
"You were younger then."
People who learn dance usually started in elementary school because it makes leg presses and stuff much easier since most adults' bodies are already stiff.
"But it’s mainly because you got the talent, right? I think if you trained for a couple of years, you could perform a solo on stage." Chen Xinya said as she pulled Lin Jin toward the cafeteria, stopping in front of a high end snack shop within the school. She tilted her head at Lin Jin and asked "Want to eat something?"
"Sure."
Lin Jin could never resist snacks and desserts. Recently, Teacher Lin had mentioned that although Lin Jin's physique was good, he was still a bit too fat., When he danced, the fat on his belly would jiggle, making it look unsightly. He was told to lose weight, resulting in Lin Jin having pitifully small lunches consisting solely of an 8 yuan preserved egg and pork congee. He had to sacrifice his gluttony for the sake of the task.
"My treat." Chen Xinya was very pleased with Lin Jin's response and cheerfully led him into the shop. After scanning the area and finding some unoccupied spots, she unhesitatingly pulled Lin Jin to a seat by the window.
She propped her chin in her hands and gazed intently at Lin Jin with a goofy, dazed expression as if she was staring at a flower.
Lin Jin looked down and ordered a milk tea and some pastries from the server. When he looked up to ask Chen Xinya what she wanted, he caught her silly expression. Lin Jin was stunned for a moment, then touched his face, wondering if something was on it.
"What are you having?" Lin Jin furrowed his brows slightly and snapped the dazed Chen Xinya back to reality.
"The same as you." Chen Xinya regained her usual poise, lowering her head as a blush spread over her cheeks from embarrassing herself just now. After the server left, she suddenly blurted out, "Lin Jin, do you like girls?"
"What?"
"Just asking." Chen Xinya quickly turned her head away, avoiding his gaze, "Right, how's your dorm's LOL team going? Don’t assume just because I look like a good student, but I'm actually pretty good at games. If you guys need a substitute, how about me?"
Lin Jin was confused and didn’t know what was going on with Chen Xinya.
Could it be that Chen Xinya likes me? Impossible, right?
