Chapter 437: – Fan Bing Han
Tuesday's performance went pretty smoothly. Although Lin Jin felt a bit uncomfortable halfway through because of Teacher Lin, the rest of the performance was okay.
When she got home, she checked her task progress and that only around 40 people had been counted so far.
The task requirement was five hundred people. Lin Jin didn’t know how the black cat was judging who counted. When she went to Wanda on Monday, although she hadn’t counted, she estimated there had been around thirty to fifty people. And today, even with so many people coming and going, the task still only counted a bit over forty with the two days combined.
Maybe it didn’t count when she went to Wanda on Monday?
Actually, Lin Jin also thought that Monday shouldn’t be counted. She only took the stage twice. The first time, she chickened out immediately. The second time, she sang a couple of lines before chickening out again. Afterwards, they just hastily ended it, it couldn’t really be called a performance.
But today was actually not bad. Over the course of an hour, Lin Jin intermittently sang seven or eight songs. As for the rest of the time, Teacher Lin performed. Wu Min also occasionally sang a couple songs, but he ended up driving away seven or eight people from the crowd…
Well, it was still okay. At least better than yesterday.
However, the college Lin Jin attended only had a few thousand people and the number of people passing by for class every day was probably only around a thousand. It seemed unlikely that she’d be able to attract five hundred people in just seven days with singing and dancing. If repeat people counted, Lin Jin would have thought this task was pretty easy.
Well, so that meant she should practice first at this beginner area and then head to Wanda this weekend to complete the task?!
Thinking about the crowds at Wanda made Lin Jin’s face look a bit unpleasant. With her head hanging, she contemplated how she could dance in front of the crowd without feeling scared.
Dancing in front of a crowd felt so embarrassing...
Although she had unlocked the achievement of singing in public, the achievement of dancing in public was probably still distant.
She stopped thinking about these things for now. It was only two in the afternoon and Lin Jin needed to turn the footage Zhu Dong had filmed into a video. It didn’t need to be too perfect. After all, it was something she would do daily. Unless she had a really good team or template, it would be impossible to make it too perfect even if she wanted to.
She spent an hour lightly editing the video and uploaded it online. Then, she headed to the welfare institute as usual.
Lin Jin used to leave for the welfare institute at around two, but because she was busier now, she had to change it to three. She’d spend over an hour playing with the children before taking the bus back. Luckily, not many people took that bus and every day, half the seats would be empty for Lin Jin to pick from. Other buses, like the ones going to Wanda or to the train station, were packed almost every day.
After getting on the bus, Lin Jin picked a seat in the back and sat down. She yawned and closed her eyes, playing to nap for a bit. But before the bus had even gone a few stops, she suddenly noticed that the bus had gotten a lot more crowded.
Why were there so many people?
She curiously looked at the crowd of people in the front of the bus. These people looked to be nearby college students. Maybe the last stop just so happened to be near a school?
As Lin Jin was looking at these students, these students also noticed her too. And suddenly, the group of people started whispering to each other. Although Lin Jin wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, she still overheard some of their conversation from a guy who spoke especially loudly.
“I think that’s Lin Jin. She’s even prettier than in the videos.”
“Yeah, it seems she’s not even wearing makeup.”
“Hey, president, why don’t you go hit on her?”
“Exactly. President, aren’t you her big fan?”
Lin Jin was dumbfounded listening to them. As their whispering gradually turned into chatter with the sound getting louder and louder, she finally couldn’t stand it anymore. She turned her head away, pretending to be someone else and staring out the window.
After a while, the seat beside her was occupied by a man who looked young and handsome. He wore a white shirt and had a scholarly demeanor.
"Hello, my name’s Han Bing. Can I ask, are you that Lin Jin who occasionally streams being cute and occasionally posts videos?"
What do you mean by streams being cute? I’m a hardcore streamer, okay?
Lin Jin very discontentedly rolled her eyes at him. Then, she pretended as if she didn’t understand. She looked at him with a sweet and innocent expression: “Who’s Lin Jin?”
The man named Han Bing immediately looked confused. He awkwardly laughed, pulled out his phone, went to his wallpaper, and showed it to Lin Jin: “Isn’t this you?”
What the f*ck? This pervert has my picture as his wallpaper!
Wasn’t this one of the few casual pictures she posted when she first started her Weibo and was feeling bored?
Suddenly seeing her own picture on someone else’s phone, she felt… She somehow felt a weird sense of accomplishment, but also a bit embarrassed?
“Nope! Not me, it’s just that they look a lot like me!” Lin Jin denied without any hesitation, even confidently adding “Maybe it’s my long lost, pretty sister. But anyways, it’s definitely not me!”
“Really?” Han Bing blinked his eyes. Confused, he looked over at the classmate beside him and asked in a low voice “Didn’t you say it was definitely Lin Jin?”
“Yeah, Lin Jin has a really small mole on her chin. My memory’s very good. I remember watching one of her videos and seeing it in a close up. Just now, I saw that this girl has the same mole. My eyesight is good too.”
The handsome Han Bing glanced suspiciously at his friend, then looked back at Lin Jin. Afterwards, he helplessly figured that Lin Jin might not want to reveal her identity.
Lin Jin wasn’t interested in the handsome guy next to her at all. Although this person was indeed handsome and seemed to be the leader of the group of students on the bus, as someone with a man’s heart but a woman’s body, she felt she’d never be interested in any man.
Yeah. Apart from thinking to herself “This guy’s pretty handsome!” there was nothing more to it.
She felt a bit sleepy. After singing for almost an hour earlier, her throat and body were a bit tired. When she got home, she didn’t take a rest before starting to edit the video. Up until now, she still hadn’t had a good rest. So as soon as she sat down, she started to feel sleepy.
So f*cking tired.
She leaned her head against the window, but the bus wasn’t as smooth as a train. The window kept vibrating as the bus moved, causing her head to knock against it again and again.
Holy f*ck, so uncomfortable.
Although she knew it was uncomfortable sleeping like this, her neck would hurt even more if she slept with her head hanging down.
“You can lean on my shoulder?” The man beside her suggested cautiously.
“I’m going to the last stop.” Lin Jin glanced at him and somewhat politely declined.
“What a coincidence, me too.” That man named Han Bing straightforwardly said “So go ahead! I can even wake you up when we’re there.”
This guy was a bit shameless.
Lin Jin hesitantly glanced at him, and then at the group of college students around her. She hesitated for a moment, feeling that leaning on the shoulders of a stranger to sleep was really not appropriate.
“It’s fine, I’m not that tired.” So she refused again.
