Chapter 319: – Life with Liu Shengqi Here
Lin Jin had never been a good tempered person, but he was a person who could read the room and was generally too kind hearted to turn anyone away.
When Zhu Dong provoked him, Lin Jin knew that despite his self defense skills, he couldn't beat him in a fight. After all, Zhu Dong had his three roommates backing him up. So, he chose to back down. Now, with Liu Shengqi almost forcibly moving into his place, Lin Jin couldn't bring himself to kick him out…
Actually, when people say Lin Jin has a bad temper, it’s really just his everyday moods that are off. It was just like a pampered little girl who would occasionally throw a small tantum.
So this time... he let it slide!
F*ck! He clearly really wanted to smack Liu Shengqi with the 'Ten Dragon Subduing Strikes'! But upon seeing his pitiful look, Lin Jin didn't know what to say.
He was obviously a grown man, yet he had to always look so wronged.
Lin Jin laid in bed and pulled the quilt over his head. Listening to the sounds of Liu Shengqi on the floor mattress, he wasn’t sure what to do now.
Liu Shengqi was here, so he found it inconvenient to do anything… he wanted to go to the toilet…
But the bathroom door didn’t even have a lock. If someone wanted to enter, they could just pull it open. The door was basically just decoration.
Sigh, it really wasn’t convenient to do anything. Not even taking a simple pee.
Curled up under the quilt, Lin Jin listened to the sounds outside it and noticed that the room went quiet the moment he stopped talking. A few moments later, just five minutes in, he heard Liu Shengqi's heavy snoring.
My god! How am I supposed to take a nap now!
Liu Shengqi's snoring was louder than Wu Min's when he was drunk. The sound was so bad that Lin Jin became stunned, feeling like his room had been invaded by a pig.
Wasn’t the whole reason he left the dormitory, besides his own physical safety, because Wu Min and Wen Xuan kept gaming late into the night and Wu Min snored? Wu Min’s snoring was actually quite soft, but since Lin Jin and he slept head to head, it seemed louder. But now, even though Liu Shengqi was quite far away, his snoring was really terrifying!
It was a bit understandable to snore since the guy had caught an early train and was dead tired, but still, the snoring was way too loud!
Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Jin unceremoniously climbed out of bed, stretched out his foot and kicked Liu Shengqi’s shoulder. Liu Shengqi immediately opened his eyes and looked at Lin Jin, looking not very deeply asleep.
"When you sleep, sleep on your side. I read online that it helps prevent snoring" Lin Jin said sternly.
"I hadn’t even fallen asleep" Liu Shengqi yawned, followed Lin Jin’s suggestion, turned over, and closed his eyes again.
In the face of sleep, he couldn’t care less about Lin Jin, nor about any guest etiquette. Anyways, he just went back to sleep, but with noticeably softer snoring coming from his nose.
Lin Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed not everything online was a lie. At least, it was true that sleeping on one's side could significantly lessen snoring.
Seeing Liu Shengqi was asleep, Lin Jin leisurely headed to the bathroom to relieve himself. Afterward, he went straight to bed, ready to fall asleep to the sound of snoring.
Liu Shengqi kind of felt like a pushover. Also, this guy was currently trying to woo Lin Jin. So Lin Jin didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about bossing him around, especially since he had made it clear he wasn’t interested. Since Liu Shengqi refused to change despite the repeated rejections, why not make use of his persistence?
If it were anyone else, Wu Min, Wen Xuan, or Xia Tian, if these guy were snoring in Lin Jin's room, Lin Jin would definitely not wake them up. After all, these three and him were just friends. If he was rash and woke them up, what should he do if they lash in a grumpy mood? But Liu Shengqi was pursing him, so he was easy to bully.
Hmm…
Lying in bed with his mind a mess from thinking about a bunch of random things, Lin Jin fell asleep while listening to the sound of snoring. He slept so deeply that he wasn’t aware of the time passing by when he woke up. Instead, he just simply turn over and continued to sleep.
So when he finally woke up, Lin Jin found it was dark…
“Why's it gotten dark?” Lin Jin muttered to himself, confused.
“Maybe you went blind.”
“Pssh! As if!” Even though he was muddled, Lin Jin was not so muddled that he couldn’t tell if his eyes were blind or not, alright?
Lin Jin propped himself up and looked toward the person speaking, realizing it wasn’t Liu Shengqi but Xia Tian. This guy was sitting at Lin Jin’s computer desk, having dinner with Liu Shengqi and also playing on Lin Jin’s computer.
“Xia Tian, why are you here?” Lin Jin asked, rubbing his eyes.
“I saw your room had an extra man so I specially came over to protect you.” Xia Tian said without a shred of truth. But he also had a straight face, making it impossible for Lin Jin to tell whether he was joking or serious. In this case, he couldn’t rely on facial expressions to gauge whether it was true or not.
“Is that so?” Lin Jin felt like Xia Tian was lying, but he still nodded subconsciously, stored his doubts away and then asked, “So why did you start eating?”
“It’s already seven o’clock, okay? DO you expect me not to eat?” Xia Tian rolled his eyes.
Liu Shengqi quite consciously picked up a takeout box from the computer desk and cheerfully said to Lin Jin, "I brought some for you, do you want to eat? If you don’t eat now, it’ll get cold."
"I'll lie down a bit more" Lin Jin replied as he laid back down. His eyes were still sore, but a severe headache kept him awake.
After closing his eyes and allowing his brain, which had slept for too long, to adjust, Lin Jin felt the pain in his head ease slightly. His eyes felt better too. He got up from the bed, shuffled to the balcony and washed his face, which helped clear his mind.
"So tell me! Xia Tian! Why did you come here?! Aren't you supposed to be streaming!" Lin Jin suddenly realized and rushed out of the balcony, yelling at Xia Tian, "Are you in cahoots with Liu Shengqi! Planning to steal my stuff together!"
"The hell! Are you out of your mind?" Xia Tian looked at Lin Jin as if he were an idiot, "The viewers yesterday said they wanted to see you dance, so I just came down to invite you, okay? Then I found there was another man in your room, so we went out to get dinner together. Is this explanation okay?"
Lin Jin carefully considered Xia Tian's words, nodded, and felt that it made sense. Yep.
"Lin Jin, are you going to eat or not? It's getting cold" Liu Shengqi asked again, holding the takeout box towards Lin Jin.
"Eat." Lin Jin frowned as he walked over and slapped Liu Shengqi on the head. Liu Shengqi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Lin Jin for an explanation.
"Can't I just find you annoying? Move!"
Liu Shengqi didn't hesitate to move aside and make room for Lin Jin. He then squatted down on the ground with the takeout box, looking pitiful as he ate.
