Chapter 366: – The departing mom
Lin Jin didn't have a good impression of Feng Jing. That girl had fought with her before and even though it seemed childish now, Lin Jin still didn't think highly of her.
Plus, Feng Jing was quite tall. Though Lin Jin hadn’t asked her exact height, it was probably close to 1.7 meters. But this Wen Xuan person wasn’t even 1.7 meters. Just based on height, they might match, but Feng Jing was the type that even wore high heels to class. If the Feng Jing with high heels walked together with Wen Xuan, there would probably be a sense of imbalance.
"Feng Jing’s personality wasn’t very good, right? How did you end up liking her?" Lin Jin curiously looked at Wen Xuan across from her, completely unable to understand what he liked about Feng Jing.
Wen Xuan looked a bit shy, not at all like his usual carefree self. He lowered his head and quietly said: "Maybe it’s because, she’s more mature? With makeup and high heels, she looks very pretty. Her personality or whatnot is alright too, quite carefree, kind of like me..."
"You like the mature sister type?" Wu Min immediately summarized Wen Xuan’s words.
"Yeah."
Lin Jin then remembered the times in the dorm when she caught Wen Xuan secretly watching those films from that island country. She had chanced upon it two or three times and had also accidentally seen the female leads, who were basically all the mature older sister type. Additionally, his computer wallpaper was also a mature type anime character, additionally his phone too…. Actually, Wen Xuan never hid his preference for more mature girls, but Lin Jin had never noticed.
"If it’s the mature type… If Feng Jing is together with you, then what are you going to do when she wears high heels?" Lin Jin held her chin with one hand, finding Wen Xuan's adolescent boyish demeanor amusing. But for the sake of her friend's future happiness, she continued to ask, "Also, that girl Feng Jing seems to be quite good at spending money."
"I can wear tall shoes too. As for money, my family isn’t poor, right? A monthly living expense of two or three thousand yuan would probably be enough for her. At that time I'll just eat a bit less and it’ll be fine."
Wu Min couldn't help but joke: "You f*cker is already as skinny as a monkey yet you want to eat less?"
"The important thing is!" Lin Jin raised her head seriously and looked at Wu Min. "If Feng Jing has a boyfriend!"
Wu Min frowned. Ever since Lin Jin and Feng Jing clashed last semester, he hadn't had much contact with Feng Jing. They only occasionally chatted online and rarely talked about such things.
"I’m not sure." Wu Min shook his head. "But towards the end of last semester, she seemed to have a boyfriend. I’m just not sure about now."
Wen Xuan nodded. He didn’t expect that despite Wu Min and Lin Jin having had problems with Feng Jing, they would still be so willing to help after knowing he liked Feng Jing. Wu Min and, surprised by how warm and helpful Wu Min and Lin Jin were despite their past issues with Feng Jing. He felt warm in his heart but didn’t pretentiously say words of gratitude, just smiled and said: "Who cares if she has a boyfriend or not! I’ll go for it if she doesn’t and poach her if she does! Snatching someone's girlfriend is all about skill!"
"Even if you fail to get her! Then just force it! It’s only three years in jail, come out after three years and you’ll be a big man!" Wu Min said with a righteous tone.
"Hey, Wen Xuan, your thoughts are so dark..." Lin Jin looked disgusted. "You actually want to be the third party when they have a boyfriend."
"We're still not even sure if she has one, right?" Wen Xuan rolled his eyes. "Can't someone joke around?"
"Exactly!" Wu Min strongly agreed with Wen Xuan’s words, slapping him twice on the shoulder and cheerfully encouraging him, "Who cares if she has a boyfriend! Our Wen Xuan is rich, handsome looking too, and has a good personality to tease girls! Where can you find a good man like this? If Feng Jing doesn't like you, she must be out of her mind!"
"Both of your ideas have a lot of problems, okay?" Lin Jin’s mouth twitched as she said "Shouldn't stealing someone's partner be discouraged and not supported? Where would it be talked about so openly like you guys?
"Tsk, women!" Wu Min huffed and turned his head to the side.
Wen Xuan followed suit, turning his head as well and huffing: "Hmph! Women!"
"Hey! You two are really bold!" Lin Jin raised her eyebrows and slapped the table, "Do you two want a beating! Just say so! This lady will help you!"
Of course, if there really was a fight, Lin Jin would definitely not stand a chance against the two of them. She might be able to beat Wen Xuan, but the big guy Wu Min was out of the question. However, when Wen Xuan and Wu Min heard this, they immediately backed down, bowing their heads and quietly sipping their milk tea without daring to say another word.
Drinking milk tea and chatting about women, Lin Jin felt like she was back in the days when she was a man. At first, they were discussing the variables of pursuing Feng Jin, but later it became about what type of girls were attractive and what type were good homemakers. Lin Jin had completely zero self awareness of being a girl and happily joined in their discussion.
Of course, if the conversation veered towards dirty demonic topics, Lin Jin would still promptly correct it. After all, as a girl, it still better to have a bit of modesty, right?
They entered the milk tea shop at two in the afternoon and chatted until three before slowly making their way out. Lin Jin hurried home to see her mom again while Wen Xuan and Wu Min started discussing how Wen Xuan should pursue Feng Jin.
Back at her new home, Lin Jin found her mom had completely tidied up the place and was sitting on the sofa, drinking hot water. Hearing Lin Jin, she turned and smiled: "I already helped you mop the floor and some other things. Oh right, I also helped buy you a small fridge online. The weather's hot now, if you buy groceries, they'll spoil in a day. With a fridge, you can buy enough for two or three days at once."
"Mhm, mhm!" Lin Jin looked every bit like a good daughter. She smiled, sat next to her mom, and snuggled up comfortably and took a deep breath.
Her mom always had a pleasant scent about her. Lin Jin didn’t quite know what it was, but it always made her at ease when she smelled it.
"I need to go soon." Mom lightly laughed, pointing to a small table nearby. "I bought you a kettle. From now on, boil your own water to drink. Bottled water is too cold and drinking it will hurt your stomach."
"Got it~"
"Well, if you get a chance during the summer, come visit mom in Guangdong. Don’t go to your dad's place if you can. I helped you rent this apartment for three months, should be good all the way until the summer break." Mom continued with a smile. "If you feel wronged in any way, just tell me. Don't be like your younger brother and bottle everything up until it explodes."
"Okay! I understand!" Lin Jin listened to the continuous nagging, letting it go in one ear and out the other but still acted as if it was extremely important.
"Then I’m leaving?"
"I'll send you to the north station!" Lin Jin jumped up from the sofa, grabbing her mom's hand and pulling her up. "Go go go, I'll take you to the station."
Sigh, In less than an hour, mom would leave…
