Chapter 450: – Before Going Back
This semester went by really fast. At least to Lin Jin, the three to four months of this semester seemed to have passed by in the blink of an eye.
Well, after all, Lin Jin did go to Guangzhou in the middle and stayed for almost a month. For other students, it was four painful months of study, but for Lin Jin, it was actually only three months. There was even a short holiday in between, so no wonder she felt this year's summer vacation came so quickly.
When the exam for the last class ended, Lin Jin sat at her desk in a daze, not sure what she should do during the summer vacation.
"Let's go." Wu Min walked up to Lin Jin and nudged her shoulder "It's summer vacation, why don’t you look happy at all?"
"Huh? I just don't know what to do during the break." Lin Jin sighed. She tidied up the things on her desk, stood up, and followed Wu Min out of the classroom.
"What else can you do during summer vacation? Stay home and be a lazy salted fish. On such hot days, it’s impossible to go out." Wu Min walked ahead of Lin Jin with both hands in his pockets, swaying as he went. "When are you going back home?"
"No clue."
"I'm going back tomorrow. I’m packing my things tonight." His tone was completely carefree. "Wen Xuan is leaving this afternoon, so I'll be alone in the dorm tonight."
Maybe Wu Min felt that staying in the dorm and attending classes every day was simply torture. Plus, in such hot weather, being blasted by the sun made people lazy. Sports like playing basketball had basically nothing to do with this guy. So at school, there wasn’t much for him to do.
"Isn't that good? You can do whatever you want in the dorm, no one will know."
"Huh?"
"Isn't that what the guys in the neighboring dorm used to always say?" Lin Jin was surprised that Wu Min didn't catch on.
"Oh, your tone was different from how they say it, so I didn't get it." Wu Min nodded. Besides, it was really rare for Lin Jin to make such dirty jokes.
Starting next semester, they will be in their second year. At that time, Lin Jin can merrily have the freshmen call her senior or other titles. Anyway, whenever Lin Jin thought about this matter, she would feel a bit smug inside.
Following Wu Min back to the dormitory, Lin Jin immediately saw Wen Xuan, who had rushed back by himself as soon as the exam ended. Wen Xuan was hurriedly packing his luggage, looking very anxious. His forehead was covered in sweat, but he didn’t even have time to wipe it.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Lin Jin walked over to what had used to be her bed and sat down onto the desk.
Wen Xuan glanced back at Lin Jin and said with a wry smile: "Why did you come over? My bus is in half an hour, can I not be in a rush?"
"Then why didn't you pack yesterday?" Lin Jin rolled her eyes.
"I was playing PUBG with friends yesterday so I didn't have time." Wen Xuan said matter of factly. "Playing games is more important."
Wu Min also started packing his luggage at this time. He was taking his time, even planning to sit down and play a couple of games.
Lin Jin suddenly realized that she seemed to have zero presence in this dorm. Her two roommates were each busy with their own stuff and didn’t pay her any attention.
"I'm heading back."
Without waiting for them to respond, Lin Jin stretched lazily on the desk, then hopped down and walked leisurely toward her home.
Her dad's shop had gotten on track and was no longer short staffed. But the shop had just opened and it was summer vacation. Now his dad’s head was almost white from worry. After all, there was only one residential community near the school and not many people lived there. As one could imagine, her dad’s milk tea shop wouldn’t have many customers during the summer vacation.
Other shops had already closed one after another because of the break. If it weren't for each class and department having slightly different end times, then most of the shops near the school would have probably already shut down completely.
Back at the rental apartment, her dad was sitting there rubbing his temples. When he saw Lin Jin return, he looked up and said with a bitter smile: "It's only been a week and summer vacation is here. Without customers, we can't even afford the shop’s rent."
Lin Jin shrugged, who told him to pick this time to open a shop?
"Then just go borrow some money. Anyway, you’ve got thick skin." Lin Jin casually replied and walked straight to her bedroom.
Her dad suddenly felt that the majesty of a father he had just rebuilt had collapsed again within a few days.
"Oh right, I'm planning to go to my maternal grandparent’s place for a visit the day after tomorrow." Lin Jin, who had already opened the door and was about to go in, suddenly turned her head and said to her dad, "Mom will go there too."
"Then I’ll go too?" Her dad’s eyes lit up.
"You? Can’t you just properly take care of the shop? Do you have to go get scolded by mom? " Lin Jin rolled her eyes at him, then went straight into her room.
Speaking of which, Lin Jin still hadn’t dared to tell her grandparents that she had become a girl. So during this summer vacation, she planned to go back with her mom to persuade them to accept her new identity.
Since the black cat's memory alteration was limited to Lin Jin's immediate family, only Lin Chen and her parents believed that Lin Jin had been preparing for surgery for several years and had already done it. As for others, no matter how close the relatives or friends were, their perception of Lin Jin was still from the winter break, just remembering her feminine face.
In their eyes, Lin Jin just suddenly became especially feminine this year for some reason. Especially her appearance, but her personality seemed to have also changed somewhat because of it.
But honestly, Lin Jin was still pretty nervous about the trip the day after tomorrow. After all, in addition to going to her grandparent’s place, her mom also planned to take her to see her relatives. Her mom had always thought that since Lin Jin was already so pretty and no longer had any masculine traits, she should correct all their relatives' perceptions of her...
In other words, she wanted to loudly announce: "This woman has a daughter now!"
Her mom wanted to be high profile, but Lin Jin herself was really scared, okay? After all, her relatives had lived in rural towns all year round and their views would definitely not be as open as her mom's. Lin Jin even felt that her uncles were more rigid in their thinking than her dad.
At that time, would she really not end up being scolded to death?
Lin Jin rubbed her temples in distress. She suddenly wanted to find the black cat to discuss it, but the problem was that the black cat had long since disappeared.
Fortunately, the Goddess Cultivation Plan app on her phone was still there. Otherwise, Lin Jin might have suspected that the black cat had ditched her.
Although she usually complained, when the black cat really left, Lin Jin actually somewhat missed that black cat who always liked to tease, mock, and peep at her.
She laid on her back on the bed, looking at the light bulb on the ceiling emitting a yellow glow.
"Sigh, I really am still a bit scared. Clearly, I wasn't like this before." Lin Jin sighed.
The old her used to be the kind of bold boy who would skip class every day to go play online and wasn’t afraid even when her dad pushed her down and beat her. How come now she was hesitant in no matter what she does, and was both cowardly and hesitant?
