Chapter 379: – Pomp and Circumstance
"I’ll be there this afternoon."
Lin Jin had her head tilted with the phone between her ear and shoulder as she talked to Xia Tian. Her feet were propped up on the coffee table, and both her hands were busy typing on the laptop resting on her lap.
Even though Teacher Lin hadn't finished the choreography yet, Lin Jin still needed to draft a plan so that things were more organized. Although Lin Jin didn’t have this habit before, Lin Jin took this current thing more seriously.
Even though she didn't really want to be an internet celebrity or a so called popular goddess, Lin Jin didn't really have any particular goals at the moment anyway. Since the black cat had given her a goal, she figured there was no harm in pursuing it.
She yawned. It was noon. Although she had slept for a long time yesterday, she was still really sleepy.
"You're coming this afternoon? It's only Friday. Didn't you say you'd only come next week?" Lin Jin lazily switched the phone to speaker mode, did a big stretch, and then curled her whole body up on the couch. "Why the sudden change of plans?"
"Couldn't stand being at home anymore. My parents say that I’m looking for a job yet still being picky about this and not liking that. They also keep complaining that I’m playing games all day." Xia Tian sighed on the other end. Although he only had a community college diploma, he had at least studied at college for three years and also had some skills. His drawing skills were decent too. He could also use Photoshop and that type of software pretty well. But if he found a job back in his hometown, the best he could do was work for so called advertising companies, the kind that just made banners all day. "With my current skills, I’m underqualified for some jobs and overqualified for the others."
Xia Tian knew himself very well and knew he could find a decent job in Xiamen with his abilities. If he was willing to tough it out for three to five years, he might even firmly establish himself there. But when he thought of being stuck in a company for so long, it made him especially picky about the various companies.
"Anyway, I'll be there this afternoon. The computer will probably be delivered by tomorrow." Xia Tian sighed, unsure of what to say.
"Then, have you got where you’re staying sorted out?" Lin Jin frowned. Although Xia Tian coming was pretty good as she would have another helper for her dance video, his sudden arrival still made her worry a bit. "Did you bring your quilts and stuff? If not, I’ll help you buy them first?"
"No need. I'll just stay in that same single room as before. It's cheap. I’ll wait until I find a job before moving, that place can be rented month by month anyway." Xia Tian, however, had already decided on his future plans. "I’ll look for a job during the day and I’ll stream with you in the evenings, how’s that?"
"Sure, I'm free in the evenings anyway."
Lin Jin now practiced dance every afternoon and would go out to exercise in the evening. In just three to five days, she felt her body was somewhat better, though she wasn’t sure if it was just a psychological thing.
They chatted a bit more before hanging up the call. Lin Jin stretched and got up from the sofa. Glancing at her laptop beside her, she thought for a bit and decided that it would be best to just take a nap first.
Because of her dancing and exercising every day, Lin Jin now easily got tired. She felt really tired every day and always felt like she didn’t have enough sleep.
When she woke up, it was already three in the afternoon. She originally wanted to call Xia Tian to ask if he had arrived in Xiamen, but after carefully thinking about it, she realized her relationship with him wasn’t close to that degree.
Yep, it really wasn’t that close. They just usually streamed games together and would occasionally chat. Her relationship with him was just that of normal friends, there was no need to specially call and check in.
What would she do if people thought she was a crossdressing gay?
She got up and practiced her daily dance, then just went back to bed to be in a daze.
She actually had quite a lot of things to do, but Lin Jin just didn’t really feel like moving. If she could lie down, then she wouldn’t sit. If she could sit, then she wouldn’t stand. That was basically Lin Jin’s motto.
Then there was a knock on the door.
She walked to the living room and opened the door to see Teacher Lin standing there.
"I've finished the choreography" Teacher Lin waved a stack of papers with strange drawings and musical notes towards Lin Jin.
"How’s it? Practice now?"
It was already Friday. When Lin Jin heard the good news, her expression immediately relaxed.
She had still been worrying if Teacher Lin would finish the choreography in time. After all, choreography seemed pretty difficult.
"How about we dance now?" Lin Jin nodded and invited Teacher Lin inside. "Which song did you choreograph?"
"Pomp and Circumstance~" Teacher Lin came in with a smile all over, closing the door behind her. She leaned in close to Lin Jin's shoulder and said in a helpless tone, "There was nothing I could do. When I told you about it earlier, I had already almost finished the choreography. In order to make sure I could help you in time, I could only use this song."
"No matter how I hear it, I feel like you’re not telling the truth." Lin Jin sighed. There was no other way, she could only nod in agreement. "Alright then, Pomp and Circumstance it is..."
"That's fantastic!" Teacher Lin's eyes lit up as she pushed Lin Jin to the center of the living room and turned on her phone to play the song. She was so excited that she looked like a fanatic, eagerly saying "Come on, come on! I'll teach you! You'll definitely charm a bunch of men."
"Charming them might not be accurate. Once this video is out, I’m afraid I'll probably get a bunch of hookup messages."
Although Lin Jin wasn't sure what the choreography would look like, she was certain Teacher Lin would include a lot of strange and highly embarrassing moves.
"Come on." Lin Jin took a deep breath. It was summer, so she was already dressed lightly and didn't need to change into special dance clothes. Standing in the middle of the living room in just her T-shirt and shorts, she looked at Teacher Lin who had a mischievous grin and said, "If there are any weird movements in there, then teacher, you'll have to demonstrate them several times for me. My memory is really bad."
"Don't worry, you're my student. Don't I know you yet?" Teacher Lin shrugged nonchalantly. "Besides, I've been dancing for so long and I've done all the embarrassing moves already."
Alright, it seems she couldn’t win an argument against Teacher Lin.
Lin Jin tried her best to act indifferent, turning her head to the side and huffing: "If it’s too shameful, I'll just change the moves myself."
And so, the dance practice began.
The song, Pomp and Circumstance, had a long intro with the main melody of the beginning being the singer’s moaning.
In order to match with the singer's voice, the choreography Teacher Lin designed required Lin Jin to run her hands from her lips all the way down to her chest while swaying her hips and waist, all while keeping her mouth slightly open and making a seductive expression.
Motherf*cker!
Lin Jin watched Teacher Lin’s extremely seductive demonstration, complete with a flirtatious wink at herself, and started to wonder if becoming a woman had been a mistake.
If she were still a man, she would definitely make this little sl*t cry!
And next, she now had to also perform these kinds of shameful and seductive dance moves.
