Chapter 466: – Chen Sa
Lin Jin lived quite comfortably here in Guangzhou, but for some reason, she always felt extremely bored. In order to find something for herself to do and to complete her task so she could get rid of the black cat sooner, Lin Jin decided to start completing the task as soon as possible.
So over the past two days, Lin Jin started practicing dance again. Of course, without Teacher Lin's choreography, the dances Lin Jin practiced were just those already available online. At most, she would make some minor changes.
As for Lin Chen, he also started learning filming at Lin Jin’s demand. He even got their mom to buy him a basic camera. Although his filming skills weren't very good at the moment, at least his hands didn't shake when holding the camera. So there wouldn’t be a problem if Lin Jin wanted to film a dance video.
The only issue was that Lin Jin did not bring her laptop over and since Xia Tian had already stopped doing the video editing, the intros and outros he made had been given to Lin Jin long ago without saving backups. So Lin Jin also needed to prepare new intros and outros for the videos and find special effects to make the video look nicer.
Once she got busy, Lin Jin didn't feel bored anymore. Every day, she got up at around ten o’clock, ate a meal, practiced dance for two hours in the afternoon and then took a nap. In the evening, she worked on the video templates so when the footage was filmed, she could just drop them into the templates and publish them without much editing.
On this day, Friday, Lin Jin had pretty much learned the dance. This time, it wasn't the kind of dance that Teacher Lin had choreographed before, which added classical Chinese dance elements to anime dances. Instead, it was one of those nonsensical cute dances from online, exactly the type of dance where the person just tried to act cute.
However, in order to make it more pleasing to the eye, her movements weren't as soft and weak as typical anime dances but had a bit more strength.
The dance was called Matryoshka, a particularly fast paced song. It had been quite popular before, especially the piano and violin versions performed by two well known Japanese musicians. Though the dances were relatively rare. Lin Jin also didn’t really want to dance those really popular dances. Otherwise, she would constantly be compared with others and viewers might be tired of those dances whereas something less common might attract more attention.
She changed into a white short sleeved shirt, white shorts, and put on white stockings. Although the outfit didn't exactly match the dance, it was eye catching. In order to get clicks, Lin Jin planned to do whatever it took by adding shameless clickbait terms like "Sister with long legs" or "Long legs with white stockings" in the title.
After changing clothes, Lin Jin walked out of her bedroom. Lin Chen was already prepared with the camera and was waiting outside the room for her. When he saw Lin Jin’s outfit, he was stunned.
Although he had seen Lin Jin in women's clothes many times, this all white outfit was rare. Moreover, Lin Jin's slender legs could already make leg enthusiasts unable to look away, but now paired with the white stockings, it was simply heavenly.
"Why are you dressed so prettily?" After being stunned for a moment, Lin Chen immediately teased with a smile, "Seeing your boyfriend?"
"If you don't look good when dancing, who would bother watching." Lin Jin put on her height increasing shoes and pushed open the door, saying "Let's go, to the rooftop."
The greenery on the rooftop here was very nice, filled with various kinds of flowers. She didn’t know who placed them there, but with so many flowers, the environment was naturally good. At a glance, it looked like a sea of flowers, making it a perfect spot for Lin Jin's dance video.
She had Lin Chen clear out a space of about three square meters. After Lin Jin stretched her body and did some warm up exercises before dancing, she began her first video recording in Guangdong.
Since she had danced in public before, Lin Jin was no longer shy about dancing in front of people. She confidently stood in front of Lin Chen and started dancing.
This dance wasn't the super soft and cute type. There were more lively versions of the dance online, but Lin Jin didn't like that kind of upbeat and fun style of dance. What she wanted was to show how beautiful she was and to display her dance skills to make people feel it was pleasing.
So although the dance was still generally in that style, Lin Jin tried her best to make the movements more precise and smooth. From time to time, she would add some cute little gestures like pouting or raising her calves. Also, during the climax of the dance, there was also a somewhat signature spin.
Lin Chen had never seen Lin Jin dance before. Seeing it for the first time, he was completely stunned. But being stunned had its advantages, at least the camera in his hands would not shake.
Lin Jin danced very happily. Her dance was fairly lively and cute, with a bit of a letting go type of feel. However, her movements were always quite precise and lacked that joyful vibe. The dance wasn't very difficult. After two days of preparation, Lin Jin already knew it by heart. Although she couldn’t see how she was dancing, she could roughly picture it in her mind.
She danced very well!
Roughly understanding that there were no issues with her dance, with a bit of imagination, Lin Jin basically pictured herself as a dancing fairy in her head. After finishing the dance, she stopped to catch her breath and walked straight before Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was still in a daze, seemingly unable to connect his lazy salted fish sister with the cheerful dancing sister before him.
Lin Jin directly took the camera from Lin Chen's hands. After checking the recording on the camera, she found nothing wrong with it. She then asked Lin Chen to change the angle and record again.
There was only one camera, so if she wanted to record from multiple angles, she had to record and dance several times. After all, she wanted an above average quality video. If it was just a single angle, it might not meet the requirements.
During the second shoot, Lin Chen finally came to his senses, but he still stared wide eyed at Lin Jin's dancing. He brazenly watched her long white legs as she danced around.
As expected of his sister, he hadn't even known when she actually learned to dance.
While filming, Lin Chen suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stairwell behind him.
He didn't dare to look back, otherwise, the camera would become unstable. So he had to suppress his curiosity and focus on filming Lin Jin.
After a bit, a man about the same age as Lin Chen came up. When he saw Lin Jin dancing and Lin Chen filming, he was stunned for a moment. He clearly didn’t expect there to be someone on the rooftop dancing.
The man was even carrying a quilt in his hands, clearly planning to take advantage of the sunny day to air it out. Seeing someone dancing, he simply set out the quilt and then stood aside and quietly watched.
Lin Jin had already noticed the person coming, but since she was filming, she could continue dancing with her eyes straight ahead.
But soon, the dance ended once again. Only then did Lin Jin turn her head to look at the onlooker by the side. He wasn’t saying anything, just directly staring like that.
After Lin Chen checked the camera, he greeted the guy: "Hey, idiot, what are you looking at!"
"Hello brother in law!" The guy didn't mind being called an idiot at all and replied with a smile, "Is this your sister? Last time, I saw her once at the basketball court. But it was too far away and I didn’t see clearly. She's quite pretty!"
