Chapter 375: – Xia Tian
Does her younger brother possibly like her?
Although it felt like this kind of sister brother situation was unlikely to happen to her, she had even turned from a man to a woman so something like this happening didn’t seem too strange.
Moreover, when she was still a man, she had doted on her younger brother a lot. So once she became a woman, it wasn’t entirely unimaginable that her younger brother would develop feelings for her.
But if a sibling romance really did happen, mom would definitely beat her to death.
Lin Jin got up from the bed in a daze, went to the bathroom to wash her face, and then sat down on the small sofa in the living room.
After feeding Braised Pork for several days, it finally recognized Lin Jin as its owner again. Seeing Lin Jin sitting on the sofa, it jumped up and carefully rubbed against her bare white legs, which were only clad in shorts.
Ignoring Braised Pork’s behavior, Lin Jin laid back on the sofa, thinking about how to handle the situation if Lin Chen really had fallen in love with her.
As her younger brother, Lin Jin couldn’t bear to say anything too cruel to reject him… Plus, if Lin Chen wanted to be around her, he would have legitimate reasons, unlike Liu Shengqi who she would always find a way to get rid of whenever he tried to get close.
The phone in her hand vibrated and the voice of the black cat came out.
“Yo! Spare boyfriend number one, Liu Shengqi, has already been sent away by you! Spare boyfriend number two, Wu Min, is still making moves on you with the status as your friend. Now spare boyfriend number three, Lin Chen, is developing feelings for you. Haha.”
“What do you mean by that!” Lin Jin held the phone in front of her, glaring at the black cat who was clowning around on the screen and questioned in dissatisfaction, “What do you mean spare boyfriend? When did I ever treat them as spare tires?!”
"With you leading them on like this, are they not spare tires?" The black cat looked innocent.
"Pah! Don’t you know how many times I’ve rejected Liu Shengqi? Wu Min is also just a friend, he doesn’t think of me that way!" Lin Jin tried to defend herself, but she didn’t know what to say when it came to Lin Chen. After hesitating for a while, she finally huffed in frustration, "As for Lin Chen! He’s my younger brother, alright? It’s even more impossible with him!"
"Why not? German orthopedics is great!"
What?
Lin Jin had no idea what the black cat was talking about.
"And there’s more! What about Xia Tian! Xia Tian! You and that guy are online dating!" The black cat wildly gestured, looking oddly enthusiastic about Lin Jin finding a boyfriend.
"Who’s dating him online! I’m just playing games with him every night, so what!" Lin Jin rolled her eyes, absolutely speechless at the black cat turning white to black.
"Hey! Lin Jin, don’t deny your feelings!" The black cat pouted unhappily. "How about I give you a task to help you out? Like confessing to Wu Min~ or hooking up with Lin Chen or something? So you can confront your true feelings?"
"No need, get lost!"
"You said before you wouldn’t interfere with my love life!" Lin Jin rolled her eyes, clearly not happy with the black cat’s ideas. "No matter if I choose to stay single, date a girl, or to find a guy, it’s none of your business."
"I’m clearly doing this for your own good."
The black cat dejectedly hung its head, looking full of grievances.
"If you really want to be good to me, then stop interfering with anything I do, and don’t try to make me some public goddess. I just want to quietly be a beautiful woman."
Lin Jin sighed, and seeing the black cat lying lifelessly on the phone screen, silent and dejected, she finally felt a bit more spirited. For some reason, whenever she managed to knock down the black cat, she always felt refreshed.
Alright! Next up was the time to co-stream games with Xia Tian.
Lin Jin’s voice was entirely like a woman’s now. If one were to categorize it like with the loli voice and the mature older sister voice, it would be categorized as a sweet and unpretentious young girl voice. Lin Jin couldn’t even tell if her current voice was real or fake anymore. She had used it so much that she couldn’t even recall what her voice sounded like before.
But since she was a girl now anyway, her old voice didn’t matter anymore.
After turning on the computer, she greeted Xia Tian and connected to the voice call. Lin Jin began her adventure of duo queuing games.
"Xia Tian! I play games with you every day, shouldn't you share a bit of your pay with me?" Lin Jin said casually while gaming, "A beautiful, kind girl like me is playing games with you all day, don't you think you should give me a bit of your pay?"
"With me being so beautiful, if I were to be a game companion, the price would definitely be several hundred an hour, okay? Are you not even planning to give me a single penny?"
"You money grubber" Xia Tian on the other end of the call helplessly shook his head, "How much do you want? If it’s too much, I can’t give it even if I sell myself, let alone several hundred an hour."
"It’s okay! You can just help me edit my videos! Promote them for me while you’re at it, mhm. I’ll give you the first video around Saturday. Pull an all nighter and edit it for me, I want to upload it by noon on Sunday."
"So urgent?"
Due to them chatting, Xia Tian made a few mistakes in his gameplay, resulting in him getting solo killed by the opponent.
"I'm telling you, be serious when you're playing games." Lin Jin didn't consider it might have been her fault at all and unhesitatingly mocked him, "You can even get solo killed in this 3000 rating fish pond, that’s a bit too bad right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you’re always right."
Although Lin Jin herself only had around 3000 rating, Lin Jin, with her beginner game proficiency, didn’t care about players this rating at all. If she wanted to, she could easily reach six or seven thousand points with enough time. So, when she duo queued with Xia Tian, she usually carried him to victory.
Most streamers carried girls to rank up, but in Xia Tian’s case, he became the guy who got carried by a girl, making it a unique sight in their live stream channel.
After a few games, Xia Tian finally decided to take a break. He interacted with the viewers for about ten minutes, then suddenly said to Lin Jin: "I'm planning to go back to Xiamen."
"What’s wrong? Not staying at home anymore?" Lin Jin casually asked as she browsed through some hero cosmetics, planning to buy a few to play with. "Didn’t you say you weren’t coming back before?"
"It’s impossible to find a job for the major I studied here. You can't expect me, a college graduate, to work as a waiter in the morning and stream games at night, right? If that's the case, I might as well have started working after middle school. Why even go to college?" Xia Tian sighed. "Even though living expenses and rent are higher in Xiamen, and I might not make much money there, it offers a lot more opportunities than my hometown."
"Tsk, poor member of society. Is this what they call a corporate slave?"
Although Lin Jin knew she will also become a member of society in two years, she still didn’t hold back on taunting: "When I graduate, there will definitely be a pile of companies fighting to hire me."
"Quit dreaming."
"I’ll go there next week. At that time, let’s see if I can find a job."
"Oh, as long as you don’t forget to edit my videos, remember to download the software first."
"Alright, I got it. Let’s play two more games and then you go to bed. I’ll switch to some single player games."
Lin Jin could clearly sense that Xia Tian seemed to have encountered the most significant turning point of his life.
