Chapter 381: – Xia Tian
Learning to dance was pretty easy for Lin Jin. Anyways, to her, it was much better than dozing off in class.
Additionally, she wasn't even learning how to dance in general, it was just learning one specific dance. Even though this dance made Lin Jin feel a bit embarrassed, at least the only people who would see her practice were herself and Teacher Lin.
That was the idea, but when they start filming later, it might attract a crowd of people.
Lin Jin wondered if she should change her original plan. What she initially thought was that they would film by the big banyan tree next to the school’s basketball court. But now, she felt this dance was really a bit too shameful. If she danced under that big banyan tree, she was afraid it would draw a lot of students’ attention.
So that was to say, she should find a more secluded place, right? Like the rooftop?
After leaving the Xia Tian encounter, Lin Jin leisurely returned to her rented apartment and laid on the bed yawning.
Since Xia Tian just moved, he would need to unpack his luggage and clean up the room. This meant there would be no live stream, causing Lin Jin to have nothing to do this night.
Now when she played games, if there were no one for her to play with, then she would have no interest in gaming at all. This resulted in her being completely bored if Xia Tian didn't invite her for a game.
Practicing dance was out of the question. She had practiced dancing for several hours in the afternoon and was almost exhausted to death. Lying on the bed and being a lazy salted fish was still the most comfortable.
Teacher Lin had already arranged with Lin Jin to come over Saturday morning to continue teaching Lin Jin that shameful dance. Lin Jin felt she could finish it during the day. After all, she realized during her afternoon practice that she already knew the basics of the dance, it was just that some of the moves were so embarrassing that she couldn't perform them smoothly. Next, she just needed to correct some movements and lessen the shamefulness.
Lin Jin made a Weibo post to the small number of fans she had. The content was basically just about her planning to switch from a live streamer to a video creator and that her first video would be released on most video platforms on Sunday.
Then Lin Jin pondered how she should promote her videos. She then pondered how to promote her video. The saying good wine needs no bush was not often seen. Only god knew how many high quality videos got buried every day, so some promotion was still necessary.
However, Lin Jin's current promotion channels were quite bad, only consisting of Weibo and Xia Tian’s live stream. The number of people who could see the promotion would only be around a thousand and it would be good if one or two hundred of them actually watches the video.
She frowned and thought about the promotion thing. Actually, Lin Jin was completely able to just pay to find a management company to help brand her as an internet influencer. That way, it would help with a big chunk of the work needed to become a popular goddess, but Lin Jin didn’t believe the black cat would let her do something so similar to cheating.
Uh...
So bored.
If she weren't feeling so bored, Lin Jin definitely wouldn't be contemplating this here.
However, Lin Jin wasn’t bored for long before her phone rang. She briefly responded with a few lines, climbed out of bed and opened the door. She saw Xia Tian, who had just called her phone, already standing in front of her door.
"This late at night, are you finding me to go on a date?" Lin Jin's hands were in her pants pockets. Today, she wore a cute short sleeve and shorts outfit, cutely smiling like the girl next door.
"I'm not interested in dating a guy crossdressing as a girl" Summer rolled his eyes. "I'm just bored, and I’m basically done unpacking. So, I thought I'd ask you to go out for a stroll. I figured you had nothing to do tonight anyway."
"I'm very busy at night!" Even though she had just been so bored lying on the bed she’d nearly resorted to rolling around to pass the time, Lin Jin still continued bullsh*ting and uncourteously said "If there’s nothing in it for me, I’m not going out for a stroll with you. I'm already tired of walking around here."
"Also, maybe you have some ulterior motives?" Lin Jin pretended to be wary and retreated behind her door. "Could you be planning to kidnap me? Or maybe you say you're not interested in guys crossdressed as girls, but you're actually super excited inside?"
Xia Tian rolled his eyes: "I haven't had dinner yet. Also these days, you’ve helped me gain a lot of viewers, what’s wrong with treating you to a meal as a thank you?"
This Xia Tian person up till now still didn’t know Lin Jin was already a girl. He had suspected that Lin Jin was f*cking actually a girl because of her girly clothes, behavior, and appearance. But because he had already asked about it before, he could only assume she was just a crossdressing expert and not a girl.
"What are you treating me to? I’m not going if it’s not good." Lin Jin leaned against the doorframe, arrogantly tilted her head and said as if she was full of disdain "I’m a very busy person, you know. If I’m taking time out of my busy schedule to accompany you for a meal, shouldn’t you thank me a bit?"
Lin Jin made Xia Tian at a loss for words. After being baffled for a moment, he could only shrug and reply: “Chongqing after Lin Jin's comments, so he just shrugged and said, "How about Chongqing skewers?"
"Sounds good!"
With that, Lin Jin happily followed Xia Tian to a night market about five kilometers away. Lin Jin had never even heard of this night market before. Originally, she thought Xia Tian was going to take her to Wanda for food, but they took the bus and came to this unfamiliar place.
The night market had a lot of people, all densely packed on a narrow cross shaped street. Lined on both sides of the streets were various food stalls and restaurants. In the middle of the street, there were even two internet cafes that looked quite high end. Also, this place was actually only a twenty minute bus ride from school.
If Lin Jin had known there were so many things to eat here, she would have been coming over here every day.
"When I was still in college, I often came to this skewer place with my roommates. The taste is pretty good. A skewer is thirty cents, it could still be considered quite cheap." Xia Tian introduced the place they were going to eat to Lin Jin with a cold expression. "You can eat a lot for just a hundred yuan per person, just the decoration is a bit lacking."
"It’s okay, as long as it’s tasty and plentiful with lots of meat." Lin Jin nodded earnestly.
Although these skewers originated from Chongqing and were said to be very spicy, these types of foods were usually adapted to local tastes when served in other provinces. Lin Jin wasn't too worried about them being too spicy for her to handle.
Only after circling around this street for around ten minutes did Xia Tian finally lead Lin Jin into a two story building. The first floor was a retro arcade, the second floor was the skewer restaurant Xia Tian talked about.
As expected, the place was a bit rundown, but it was quite popular. It was clearly not meal time, but the place was actually full of people. There were even a few people standing at the door queuing up for their turn.
They actually had to queue…
So Lin Jin instantly lost interest. To her, no matter how good the food was, if there was a line, then she wouldn't eat!
