Chapter 476: – Eating Hot Pot
After buying two new outfits at the clothing store, Lin Jin was quite satisfied. These two outfits were styles that Lin Jin hadn’t worn before. One set was a cute pair of denim shorts paired with stockings and a pink short sleeved girl next door type top. The other was a light long dress.
Lin Jin rarely wore long dresses and she'd never worn a one piece dress before. She originally thought that wearing such a dress in the middle of summer would feel really hot, but she found that because the fabric was so light, even a long dress didn't feel too warm.
Happily paying with her mom's Alipay account, she carried two big bags onto the street and felt her phone vibrating in her purse.
She took out her phone and found there were five missed calls, all of which were from Lin Chen and Wu Jia, who had been taking turns calling. This time, it was from Lin Chen.
"Hey, sister, where did you run off to?" Lin Chen sounded very anxious. "You didn't get kidnapped, right?"
Lin Jin raised an eyebrow and quickly switched to a fake voice. In a rough man's voice, she spoke into the phone: "Sister? Do you mean that woman? She's in my car right now. Give me five hundred thousand yuan and I'll let the person go."
Then, the people around Lin Jin all took two steps back in shock. How could such a pretty girl sound like a big rough man? Was she a f*cking crossdresser?
Of course, Lin Jin also noticed the reactions of the passersby. She turned around and with a sweet smile, asked: "What's up bro?"
What the f*ck?!
The man she addressed gulped hard, silently lowered his head and stepped back another two steps.
Although this crossdresser was indeed very pretty, that voice was way too scary, okay? Just from listening to the voice, you would definitely think it was some macho man, okay?
"Sister, stop messing around." After a moment of silence on Lin Chen’s end, he heard Lin Jin talking to the person next to her and chuckled helplessly "It's not like I don't know you can change your voice."
"What are you talking about?" Lin Jin deliberately pretended not to understand.
"Stop pretending. I already see you."
Lin Jin looked up and saw that across the street, Lin Chen was speechlessly looking at her while holding up his phone. Wu Jia stood beside him, eating the lamb skewers in his hands.
Putting down her phone, Lin Jin felt a bit helpless. She had originally wanted to tease Lin Chen a bit, but she ended up being found so quickly.
"Was messing around a bit fun?" Lin Chen walked over and handed the bag of lamb skewers to Lin Jin. "Want some?"
"Yeah."
Without hesitation, she took the bag, pulled out a skewer, and happily took a bite.
These lamb skewers probably weren't from a barbecue shop. After all, those meat skewers in barbeque shops usually all tasted the same and were also small. They were likely grilled by an uncle from Xinjiang who specialized in selling lamb skewers on the street. The skewers were big and delicious.
But who knows if it was real lamb meat or not.
"Where did you run off to just now?" Lin Chen complained a bit. "We were just walking and you disappeared."
"You two disappeared first, okay? I just looked down to go on my phone for a second and you two were gone." Lin Jin huffed in dissatisfaction. "Made me spend a lot of money buying clothes."
"Great, even blaming me for buying clothes?" Lin Chen rolled his eyes.
Wu Jia was just by the side, smiling as he watched the two siblings argue, with no intention of stepping in. Then, Lin Jin and Lin Chen immediately turned their target to him, simultaneously questioning: "It’s whatever if you’re not going to stop us! But why are you just staring over there!"
Cousin Wu Jia was instantly dumbfounded. He took two steps back and explained with an awkward smile: "How can I interfere when you two brother and sister are quarreling?"
They rolled their eyes at him and then Lin Jin went back to enjoying her lamb skewer.
"Let's go. I just saw a super popular hot pot place. Let's go eat together!"
The hot pot restaurant Lin Chen mentioned was a Chaoshan beef hot pot restaurant that looked pretty good. It was said to taste very good and there was currently a line of over thirty people at the entrance waiting for their number to be called. Who knew when they would have to wait until.
Fortunately, Lin Chen wasn't stupid. He had already gotten a number in the queue when he came earlier. By now, they probably only had to wait another half hour before it was their turn.
Lin Jin on the other hand didn't really care. Besides, there were even seats and kettles with tea at the entrance. It was quite comfortable to just sit there and go on her phone, the waits would even bring tea to those waiting.
Though the tea was really a bit too bland.
The three of them sat side by side on the bench at the entrance, waiting for a table. Lin Chen, the one who couldn't do nothing the most, started talking.
"Cousin, do you play Honor of Kings? Duo queue? Sister, you don't seem to play this game, right? Connect to Wi-Fi to download it and play together?"
"Sister, is that game called Dota fun? I can't understand it when I watch you play."
"Cousin, do you still play LOL? After we get back, I'll use my sister's computer to duo with you?"
Lin Jin looked indifferent and didn't respond at all, while cousin Wu Jia kept helplessly nodding nonstop.
"Then let's play together when we get back." Cousin Wu Jia had completely no interest in chatting. After walking in such hot weather for half an hour, although he wasn't tired, he felt so lazy that once he sat down, he didn't even have the energy to open his mouth.
But this Lin Chen guy was full of energy and chattered nonstop beside them. After he babbled on for a full half an hour, only then did they hear the waiter calling their number. Then, he suddenly rushed into the restaurant like a wild dog.
God knows why he was so excited.
Entering the restaurant, it immediately felt much more comfortable. Sitting at a table for four, cousin Wu Jia, who was treating them, began to leisurely order a bunch of vegetarian dishes.
Then, the carnivore Lin Chen was dissatisfied. He took the menu and ordered all the meat dishes on it, not caring whether or not they could finish it all. He also ordered a few cans of cola. Only then did he hand the menu to the waiter in satisfaction, while Wu Jia's face turned dark.
"I'm really poor." He said with a grim expression. "If I can't afford the bill, you guys will have to stay and wash dishes."
"You guys wash, I'll go back and get money for you guys." Lin Jin sat up straight and casually said. "Besides, cousin, aren't you a big boss? How can you not have money to eat?"
"I'm just someone who runs a milk tea shop, that’s all."
"No way, my dad is running a milk tea shop now too and he's gained five kilograms from all the money he's made." Lin Jin casually lied. "Now he doesn't even worry about not having money when he goes gambling. Everyday he’s lavishly eating and drinking at home."
"Listen to your BS."
The food was quickly served. The three people went to get their own sauces and then enthusiastically started eating hot pot.
However, eating hot pot on such a hot day didn’t seem to be the best idea. After just a few bites, they were already sweating from the hot pot’s steam.
But it really was quite delicious.
Lin Chen, thinking of scamming some more of his cousin’s money, ate so much he could hardly talk. Cousin Wu Jia on the other hand wanted to get his money’s worth, also ate until he was full of sweat. As for Lin Jin, she had just been stuffed with a bunch of lamb skewers and wasn’t very hungry to begin with. She was already half full before she even started eating, so she just picked some of the expensive items to eat.
