Chapter 362: – Tyrannical Mother
After coming out from the counselor's office, Lin Jin and her mom went straight home. Anyways, since her mom had already asked her teacher for leave, claiming the counselor needed to see her, Lin Jin naturally wouldn't go back to class.
Back at the rental unit, after exchanging a few words with her mom, Lin Jin's mom entered her own room. Just as Lin Jin was about to head back, she suddenly saw the door to the neighboring room open and a familiar girl walked out.
"Rabbit?" Lin Jin looked at her in surprise. "You moved here too?"
The short girl, whom Lin Jin called Rabbit, turned around and blankly looked at Lin Jin. Her face suddenly turned pale, then a man walked out from behind Rabbit.
"Lin Jin..." Rabbit awkwardly fiddled with her long hair, letting the man beside her hold her arm.
The man looked puzzled at the two of them, completely clueless about the situation. He looked down at Rabbit and asked: "Shishi, what's up? Someone you know?"
"Yeah." Rabbit somewhat embarrassedly leaned against the man beside her, looking down with a slight blush "I'm going to have dinner now, see you later."
"Go ahead, go ahead," Lin Jin waved her hand. She opened her own door and entered, shutting out the couple outside.
Rabbit was that girl Lin Jin had a slight crush on last semester, named Chen Shi. At that time, Chen Shi also had a crush on Lin Jin and even took the initiative to hint to Lin Jin. However, Lin Jin felt that since she would eventually become a girl herself, she shouldn't hold Chen Shi back, so they eventually lost touch.
Meeting again today, seeing she now has a boyfriend and even living together didn't really affect Lin Jin much. She just felt inexplicably a bit disappointed.
After all, Chen Shi was also in her second year and was at least nineteen years old. It was perfectly normal for her to find a boyfriend or something.
Lin Jin laid on her bed and didn’t really miss Rabbit Chen Shi. Although this girl love type of thing might seem quite nice and pure, Lin Jin felt it wasn’t much different from being gay. Anyways, in the end, it would be difficult for both the families to approve of such a thing.
Well, so now, whether it was with men or women, it seemed hard for her to accept. From a logical point of view, men might be better. But from an emotional point of view, Lin Jin’s sexual orientation had not yet been twisted by the black cat so she naturally has more of an interest in women.
Although her thoughts have become more like a woman, it didn't mean Lin Jin's sexual orientation had also changed. Even if her orientation did change, Lin Jin definitely wouldn't accept that fact.
Yeah, even though it felt a bit like she was deceiving herself, but Lin Jin was still quite willing to continue deceiving herself.
Lin Jin hadn’t laid in bed for long when she noticed that someone had sent her a message on QQ. Clicking on it, she found it was from Xia Tian, who had already left.
"Want to stream together? Co host. After you stopped appearing in my streams, the viewers have dropped a lot." Xia Tian had gone back to his hometown but was still streaming while job hunting. However, maybe because he was too indifferent, well at least because he looked indifferent, his stream was doing worse and worse.
"Sure, now?" Lin Jin felt she had nothing better to do and readily agreed.
"Tonight, I'm at work now."
"Okay."
This Xia Tian person was too distant feeling, but in fact he could be regarded as being suited for streaming. Of course, this was under the condition that he had someone streaming together with him. One person would do the joking while Xia Tian would be there as an expressionless supporter. Thinking about it, the effects were quite good when Lin Jin streamed with him using this formula. She even felt that if she stopped studying and focused on streaming with Xia Tian, they might really be able to become full time streamers and earn tens of thousands a month.
However, right now, tens of thousands weren’t really useful.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jin began to zone out.
She had no idea what to do at all. Being back in her room, she felt she might as well have gone to class.
But within a few minutes, Lin Jin found herself with something to do.
Her mom came in. She glanced at Lin Jin who was unseemingly lounging around and raised an eyebrow but said nothing. She walked straight to the balcony, picked up some sneakers that had been drying for several days, and then fixed her gaze directly on Lin Jin.
Lin Jin felt as if that sight had electrocuted her entire body. She shrank back and quickly slipped under the covers.
"Get up and exercise!"
"No! I'm sleepy! Don't want to move!" Lin Jin mumbled loudly, wrapping herself up in the quilt, turning herself into a ball. "I want to sleep! I'll exercise tonight! Now is sleep time!"
"The sun isn't strong right now, perfect time to exercise!" With a dark face, her mom pulled away Lin Jin’s quilt with one hand and earnestly coaxed "Doctor Black Cat had already said. If you don't keep up exercising, it’s going to hurt when your period comes!"
"It's okay! I’m not afraid!"
"When it really comes, you won’t be unafraid anymore! Get up!" Lin Jin's mom frowned, grabbed Lin Jin’s arm, and dragged her out of bed onto the ground. Despite this, furrowed her brows, grabbed Lin Jin's arm, and dragged her out of bed onto the floor. Even so, Lin Jin still continued acting spoiled, squirming on the ground and stubbornly refusing to get up.
"Starting now, every day, you need to fast walk for an hour and a half as well as yoga for half an hour. Two hours of exercise in total." Her mom looked down to read the exercise routine that Doctor Black Cat sent her. "Also, no eating cold or frozen foods. No touching cold water. No eating cooling foods, like ice cream, soft drinks, and certain fruits and stuff."
Lying on the floor, Lin Jin was utterly baffled.
"Shall we go?" her mom said in an empress like tone "I'll join you."
"Fine... but I don't have any sportswear, no sweat pants." Lin Jin thought to continue finding excuses.
"Don’t you have T-shirts and shorts? They’re the same." Her mom dismissed Lin Jin's excuses, walked over to the bed, helped Lin Jin pick out a pair of loose shorts and threw them onto her "Quickly go change!"
Hearing her mom's absolute words, Lin Jin had no choice but to take the shorts and run into the bathroom. After changing, she emerged with a look of despair.
"Put on your shoes!"
"Fine..."
"I'll change too and join you for the exercise." At that moment, her mom was wearing high heels and a tight short skirt, which were unsuitable for exercise. She told Lin Jin and turned to leave the room. Just as Lin Jin thought about sneaking away, she saw her mom look back with a knowing smile "Don't even think about running."
"I wasn't thinking that!"
Sigh, how does my mom know me so well? How can she always guess exactly what I'm thinking?
Lin Jin was not willing to go out for a run this early in the morning, especially as the weather in Xiamen was getting hotter. The temperatures yesterday were still in the twenties, but today it had soared to over thirty. It was so hot that Lin Jin would be covered in sweat just by stepping outside. She had originally planned to wait until the evening when the temperature dropped a bit.
But her mom completely ignored Lin Jin's thoughts.
If her mom had lived in ancient times, she would surely have been a tyrannical dictator!
