Chapter 313: – Shameless
The audience in the live stream was pretty satisfied, and Lin Jin didn't even need to check whether his vibrating phone was a task completion alert. He knew it was completed when a big spender directly donated a rocket gift right there.
You need to know that a single rocket costed five hundred yuan. This five hundred yuan was enough to show how much people enjoyed Lin Jin’s dance.
With all the random gifts thrown in, Lin Jin made almost a thousand yuan just from that one dance. And thanks to the rocket’s platform wide banner message, the two to three thousand viewers went up to five thousand. The last time it hit that number was when Lin Jin risked his life to do the grueling 24 hour live stream.
The chat exploded again thanks to the rocket, so Lin Jin unapologetically sang two of his best children’s songs as a thank you. As for dancing again… his legs were already jelly from one dance. If he did another dance, he feels he’ll probably collapse halfway through.
After singing, Lin Jin waved goodbye to the viewers and rushed back to his unit. He was eager to claim his task rewards and test out what the so called dancing talent +1 would do. But he found, confused, that nothing seemed to have changed.
Oh right, almost forgot. Besides the physical item rewards from the black cat, the rest were only given while sleeping.
So now Lin Jin had nothing to do again. It was impossible for him to practice some more dance, he could just do it early tomorrow morning. It was already nine at night, so he might as well just go sleep.
He folded the women’s shorts and the top he wore and placed it beside his bed. Then, Lin Jin laid on the bed with his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling.
"So bored."
Even though he needed to keep practicing to complete his task and the task deadline was less than a day away, Lin Jin still thought to procrastinate it till tomorrow. Even though he was bored, Lin Jin felt he didn’t want to do anything no matter how bored he was. No matter if it was turning on the computer to game or dance or whatever, he didn't want to do it.
As expected of a true slacker.
Lin Jin turned over and pulled out his phone, wanting to watch some videos but even that felt too troublesome. He still needed to open the app, still needed to use his fingers to scroll through the pages...
After tiring away all day, he at this moment just wanted to lie in bed and get some good sleep.
He did nothing, didn't even shower. He just dazedly laid on the bed, lost in thought. there half-dazed, thinking about this and that. Sometimes he thought about the black cat, sometimes it was about his bleak future, a moment later it would be about his family. Although his parent's relationship had improved quite a bit, Lin Jin was worried that his father would start gambling again while he’s away.
Lying idle, the images in his mind flickered like a kaleidoscope.
Then there was a sudden knock on the door.
Lin Jin suddenly sat up in shock and stared at the door that was suddenly knocked on. After thinking a bit, he walked over and opened the door.
Outside the door were Wu Min and Wen Xuan.
"What are you doing here at night? Another dinner gathering?" Lin Jin stepped aside to let the two in. He lazily stretched and glanced at his phone on the bed, only to realize that what felt like a moment of spacing out had actually been half an hour.
"Nope, just came to deepen our relationship" Wu Min said with a shy grin as he took off his shoes and entered, followed by Wen Xuan who plopped down on the floor. He even rubbed the floor with his hand before looking up and praising "Not bad, the floor's really clean. It was all covered with hair a few days ago."
Nonsense, I practiced classical Chinese dance on the floor all day today. Even if it was dirty, it would've already been wiped clean by my clothes.
Lin Jin rolled his eyes, watching as two sit cross legged on the floor, completely unconcerned that they were actually guests. Then they pulled out their phones and chargers, found a socket and began charging their phones.
"I say, what are you two actually here for?" Lin Jin asked from his bed, his full of resignation as he looked down at his former roommates playing on their phones on the floor. "You're not planning to sleep over, are you?"
"Dorm’s power went out" Wen Xuan lifted his head and explained.
"Then WeChat someone to charge it" These two really gave Lin Jin a headache. "Couldn’t you guys have topped up a bit more? Or top up when you noticed a couple days ago?"
"Weren't you always the one adding money? The one checking the balance was also you." Wen Xuan retorted confidantly. "Plus, you always did the WeChat top ups, okay? We don’t even know which official account to use!"
F*ck, he makes a good point, I don’t know what to say.
"Late at night with no electricity, we couldn't go on the computer so we could only lie in bed and go on our phones. Then our phone batteries died. It was only after tough and painful considerations that we came to find you. " Wu Min pretended to be hearthbroken, clutching his chest dramatically and taking deep breaths. "I can't believe you're this unwelcoming to us. My heart hurts so much…"
It really is an outstanding performance, but do you think I don’t know your heart is actually on the right side?
Lin Jin vaguely remembers when he first met Wu Min and were chatting at the start of school, Wu Min had proudly told them, "My heart is on the right side!" Initially, he thought something was wrong with him, maybe he got kicked by a donkey in the head. But then he heard about some guy in the neighboring dormitory proud they had visited a prostitute and bragged about it to the entire dormitory. Only then did he realize that Wu Min was at most kicked in the head by a donkey, while that other person had been gnawed in the head by a donkey.
Lin Jin just rolled his eyes and labeled motherf*cker to the lying Wu Min.
"Are you guys just going to sleep here tonight?" Lin Jin also sat on the floor, forming a triangle with them. Continuing, "The problem is, I don’t have a big quilt."
"Then we'll just sleep with you, your quilt is big enough anyways" Wu Min casually said.
After a pause, he realized the atmosphere had suddenly become still. Then he looked up at Lin Jin and saw him glaring with those fiercely cute big eyes, causing Wu Min to sheepishly chuckle, "Just kidding, just kidding."
"We can just sleep on the floor. Anyways, using a jacket as cover is enough for this weather" Wu Min suggested.
The weather was already warming up, and it probably wouldn’t be a month before temperatures rose above twenty degrees. Though it was still a bit chilly right now, those who disliked heat were already strolling outside in just a set of long sleeves. This season was that kind where people in thin long sleeves look at those in coats as if they’re retarded, and those in coats look back at them as if they’re the retarded ones.
"Then just don't do anything weird tonight, like jerking off to me or something" Lin Jin said bluntly without any shyness of a girl, warning Wu Min, "If I catch you, I’ll break it."
"What the f*ck? Am I that kind of person? Plus, you’re way too full of yourself, right?" Wu Min retorted, incredulous at Lin Jin’s shamelessness.
"Please, I’m as beautiful as a flower, okay?"
