Chapter 446: – Xia Tian’s Place
After that, Lin Jin's life became relatively normal. She went to class every morning, performed for one to two hours in the afternoon, and then went to the welfare institute. Night time was her wonderful personal time. No matter what she did, her personal time would be enjoyable anyway.
The task was completed on Saturday and the reward was the drawing proficiency skill that Lin Jin desperately wanted. So, on Saturday night, she immediately ran to Xia Tian's house to borrow his drawing tablet and drew the first picture she was satisfied with on the computer.
Her first drawing was an original scene concept art and it took about half an hour. Though, she didn’t bother to refine it further. Anyway, the result after half an hour already made her extremely happy.
Having the drawing proficiency allowed Lin Jin to instantly know how to draw a beautiful image and she could sketch the lineart of an anime character almost instantly. Anyways, Lin Jin was very satisfied with her current drawing skill, at least it was a lot better than when she knew nothing before.
At the same time, her sense of color also improved a lot. Although she couldn’t compare to those experts, she could at least produce drawings that didn’t have any major flaws at first glance. The elementary drawing proficiency instantly made Lin Jin’s drawing skills one of the top few in her class. Although it might not sound impressive, it must be stated that there were several art students in her class, all of them incredibly skilled. There were even a few who once sold their drawings online for fifty yuan each.
Well, anyway, they were really impressive.
On Saturday night, Lin Jin was immersed in the feeling that she too was really awesome. In one night, she drew a bunch of weird stuff. Stuff like cats and dogs or whatever, but she already drew a bunch of girls, and it was all done the same way as Xia Tian. Each drawing was only half completed, where she completed the body and coloring, but she just didn’t draw the clothes…
Then she realized that even though she had the beginner drawing proficiency, her drawing level was still too poor. It seemed she still couldn't match that guy Xia Tian.
By Sunday, Lin Jin's enthusiasm for drawing instantly faded. She lazily laid on the bed, enjoying the sunlight coming in through the window.
"Lin Jin, my shop’s opening today" Her dad knocked on the bedroom door. Ever since he got a proper job, he began speaking with more confidence. "Come over to show your support, okay?"
"Sure." Lin Jin rolled off the bed, changed into her usual clothes, grabbed her bag, and pushed open the door to leave the bedroom.
Glancing at her dad, whose face was full of joy and seemed full of hope about the future, Lin Jin chuckled softly. Her attitude toward him improved a slight bit.
"Around when will it open?" Lin Jin asked.
"Today twelve o’clock at noon." Her dad was wearing quite formal attire, clearly he was taking the opening of this milk tea shop very seriously.
"Then okay, I'll go over to help twelve." Lin Jin nodded. "I need to go to a friend's house to return something right now. I'm off."
"Go ahead."
After leaving, Lin Jin headed straight to Xia Tian's place. In just a few minutes, she arrived at his unit and knocked on the door. A moment later, Xia Tian appeared before her.
"What's up?" He seemed to have been woken up by Lin Jin's knocking. He sleepily yawned and then sat down on the bed.
"I'm here to return the drawing tablet." Lin Jin placed the tablet from her bag onto Xia Tian's computer table. Glancing at his desktop computer, she discovered his computer seemed to have been on the whole night. So she directly sat on the chair and turned on the monitor, without the consciousness of a guest. While browsing Xia Tian's C drive, she asked, "By the way, there’s definitely some weird stuff on your computer, right?"
"I'm a man, that's very normal." Xia Tian stated without a change in expression "D drive, inside the homework folder. Remember to wear headphones when you're watching. I'm going back to sleep."
"There’s no way I’m watching, okay?"
Lin Jin originally thought her teasing would at least make Xia Tian a bit embarrassed, but she hadn’t expected this guy to be so shameless.
With no thought of investigating the infamous homework folder, she directly launched Dota, preparing to use Xia Tian’s computer to play a few rounds.
In the past two days, Lin Jin basically hadn’t played any games. The computer monitor at her home was also too small and wasn’t comfortable to play on, so she preferred using Xia Tian's computer to play.
"Oh right, my dad's milk tea shop is opening today at noon. You drop by and show some support?" Lin Jin suddenly remembered about her dad's thing and turned around to say "You don't need to buy much, just three to five cups will do."
"Sure" Xia Tian laid on the bed, seeming a bit annoyed by Lin Jin's noise. After rolling over a few times, he pulled the thin quilt over his head.
Lin Jin also knew that Xia Tian probably stayed up quite late gaming last night, so she also didn’t continue disturbing him. She put on the headphones and started gaming.
Speaking of which, she felt being at Xia Tian’s place seemed to be even more comfortable than at her own.
Even though the two had never talked about being friends or anything like that, Lin Jin clearly felt that their relationship now was more than a bit better than before. After all, if their relationship was just average, she coming over so early to disturb his sleep would definitely get her scolded without mercy.
Crossing her legs, Lin Jin happily played games on Xia Tian's computer. With her gaming proficiency, she won two games in a row in Dota and then swapped to PUBG. Although Lin Jin had only played ten or so rounds of this game, she was clearly surviving longer than before and the number of kills was also increasing. As for her recoil control or something, she hadn’t practiced it yet. After all, she hadn’t played much.
After gaming from eight in the morning to eleven, Lin Jin lazily stretched and got up from the chair. She went to the bathroom to get some water and then planned to wake Xia Tian up to go together to her dad's store opening.
And then she noticed... Xia Tian's sleeping posture was really cute.
When he fell asleep, he had his head covered with the quilt. But because it was too hot, he had pulled it down to his abdomen. His body was curled up with one hand stretched out straight in front of him and the other resting against his body. He also made some gentle humming sounds.
This kind of cute sleeping posture would have been a bit cringey when most guys did it, but it didn’t feel weird at all when Xia Tian did it. So as expected, good looks were everything.
Xia Tian looked very handsome. Although he wasn't the type of Korean idol that young girls currently liked, nor was he the type of muscular guy who worked out all year round, his body was well proportioned with a slightly longer face. But because of his facial features, it was extremely balanced.
He could probably be considered a big handsome guy, right?
If he and Chen Hao had the same kind of handsome, then they would probably be around the same.
