Chapter 475: – Going out
After that, Lin Jin's days became peaceful.
Lin Chen and Wu Jia played basketball outside every day, while she seemed to be forgotten, staying at home blankly playing on the computer or whatever. On such hot summer days, she had no intention to go out and sweat.
Her younger brother and cousin also didn't interact with her much either. Only in the evenings would they come to Lin Jin's room to say a few words or something. After all, guys felt more comfortable hanging out with other guys. Besides, Lin Chen was worried about whether or not he would accidentally bump into or see something he shouldn’t.
As for cousin Wu Jia, because Lin Jin had teased him before, he was also not too keen on seeing Lin Jin. After all, she had previously roasted him so badly that he started to question his existence.
"Sister, want to go out shopping?"
In the evening, after the two people finished playing basketball, Lin Chen rushed into Lin Jin's bedroom without even showering.
"Get out! You smell like sweat!" Lin Jin covered her nose in disgust and took several steps back to avoid Lin Chen "Talk to me after you've showered!"
"But cousin is showering." Lin Chen shrugged, standing about three meters away from Lin Jin.
However, even though he was already standing three meters away, the strong smell of sweat still made it a bit hard for Lin Jin to breathe.
With a headache, Lin Jin stepped back two more steps and covered her nose with one hand, saying: "You just shower over here, you smell like sweat."
Since Lin Jin's bedroom was currently enclosed, the stinky sweat smell quickly permeated the entire room as soon as it came in. So Lin Jin had to turn off the air conditioning and open the window to air it out. She looked at Lin Chen with a helpless look: "Hurry up and get out! I need to air out the room, it stinks."
"I won't shower here over here then, cousin should be done soon anyway." Lin Chen pouted. Being detested didn't feel that good, so he turned around to leave but suddenly remembered he hadn't mentioned the important thing yet. He quickly asked, "Do you want to go shopping with us? You've been here for so long, let's go out together and have some snacks or something?"
"I’ll go." Lin Jin rolled her eyes. Seeing Lin Chen leave the room, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The weather was really bad now. As soon as the window was opened, the cool air from the air conditioner would instantly all disappear. In just a few minutes, the temperature in the room rose sharply and even the wind blowing in from the window felt really hot.
If it weren't for the smell of sweat still lingering in the room, Lin Jin would have already closed the window and turned the air conditioning back on.
In about just ten minutes, a fresh Lin Chen appeared once again in Lin Jin's bedroom. He uncourteously sat at the foot of the bed and said with a smile to her: "We're going out shopping, aren't you going to change?"
"What's there to change?" Lin Jin rolled her eyes. Although the clothes she was currently wearing were a bit casual, there was still nothing wrong with wearing them out, alright? It wasn’t like it was pajamas or anything.
Walking into the bathroom, she applied sunscreen and combed her hair. Checking the mirror, she found there weren’t any grains of rice or chip crumbs on her face or anything, so she just decided to go out like that.
Anyway, she was naturally really pretty. Even though she wasn’t wearing makeup or anything, she definitely wouldn’t embarrass herself when walking down the street.
The two Lin Chen and Wu Jia people had been hanging out together a lot recently. Cousin Wu Jia used to act very mature at family gatherings during Chinese New Year, but recently he had been running around with Lin Chen like crazy. Lin Jin felt this person’s maturity was probably him pretending in front of the elders.
"Where are we going?" Lin Jin somewhat tidied herself up a bit. She walked out of the bedroom, and looked at the two people sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Don’t know, just randomly walking around." Lin Chen turned his head and very straightforwardly said "It's almost dinner time anyway. We can go out and eat something as well."
"Alright then."
The three people walked leisurely down the street. Although it was already late in the evening, the temperature on the street was still high. Lin Jin, this person who stayed long term in an air conditioned room, soon started to sweat on her forehead. Lin Chen and Wu The three of them strolled leisurely down the street. Although it was already evening, the temperature was still high. Lin Jin, who had been staying in air-conditioned rooms for a long time, soon had sweat on her forehead. Lin Chen and Wu Jia, these two people who played basketball outside every day, didn't feel anything about the heat.
There was a food street near their home. Lin Jin had been there once before with Lin Chen. Now, going there again, she found that there seemed to be more shops and the amount of people was even greater than last time.
The food street was filled with the usual snack foods from all over the country, like Chinese burgers, Chinese crepes, and that sort. Occasionally, you could see some Guangdong specialty foods, but the taste was just average.
"Sister, a new noodle shop opened up here recently. It's said to be authentic Lanzhou beef ramen. Want to go try it?"
Lin Chen and Wu Jia walked in front, the two were becoming more like brothers. As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, Wu Jia began to mess with him: "Let’s forget it. Over in Lanzhou it's called beef noodles, not beef ramen. I've been to Lanzhou before."
"Is there a difference?" Lin Chen was hearing about this for the first time. He had always thought that the Lanzhou ramen shops all over the country were from Lanzhou.
Lin Jin had thought so too until a classmate from Lanzhou explained it to her. After being enlightened, she realized that Lanzhou ramen and Lanzhou's local beef noodles were completely different.
So cousin Wu Jia, feeling full of superiority, began explaining the differences to Lin Chen.
Though Lin Jin didn't really care. It was just that it had been too long since she had been to such a crowded place where people bumped shoulders, so she felt a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, because there were so many people, she noticed that quite a few guys would subconsciously glance at her. One or two was fine, but often a whole group would simultaneously glance at her while pretending not to care.
This was very stressful, okay? And can your acting at least look a bit more natural?
Lin Jin lowered her head, not wanting to meet those people’s eyes. But when she looked up again, she found that Lin Chen and Wu Jia, who had been right in front of her earlier, had inexplicably disappeared.
There were just too many people. Maybe they didn't notice and walked a bit faster, so they ended up being lost in the crowd.
It was clearly just a food street, why were there so many people?
Lin Jin frustratedly scratched her head. She looked around but couldn’t find the two of them after a long time.
Forget it, she will just treat it as going out alone.
Although it was called a food street, besides the street stalls and snack food shops, there were quite a few clothing stores. Lin Jin wasn't very interested in food, after all, she'd eaten so many snacks in the past few days that she was almost sick of them, and she wasn't very hungry. So she went into a clothing store to see what good clothes they had.
Because she was in somewhat of a hurry when she came, although her mom had also bought her two sets of clothes, Lin Jin only had four outfits in total to change between. Although it seemed like a lot compared to when she was a guy before, but she was a girl now! What girl doesn't have seven or eight pretty outfits hanging in her closet?
