Chapter 477: – Bad Premonition
For some reason, Xia Tian's calls started becoming more frequent.
Before, he basically never called Lin Jin, but now it was almost once a day. Lin Jin didn't even know what they talked about. Anyway, before she knew it, the calls would last one or two hours.
Well, so that meant Xia Tian really did like her, right? After all, wasn’t spending one or two hours on the phone something that only happened between people in a relationship or people who were almost in a relationship?
But as for how she thought of Xia Tian… Well, she did have a bit of affection, but it was just simply because they had been hanging out for a while, the kind of affection between friends. Right?
Lin Jin had always been unwilling to admit she had feelings for men. No, it should be that she just never had any romantic feelings for men before. So she got a headache at the possibility that Xia Tian might like her.
That Liu Shengqi before was fine, she didn’t really have any feelings for him at all. Not even the kind between good friends. So even when he chased her, she could still harden her heart and tell him not to meet her.
But this Xia Tian guy, the two of them had known each other for a whole semester now. During this semester, they had inexplicably become close friends and inexplicably went through some things together…
"Hey Lin Jin, when are you coming back?" Xia Tian’s call came once again. Hearing that opening line, Lin Jin helplessly pursed her lips.
"When school starts." Lin Jin sighed. It was fine before when she hadn’t noticed that Xia Tian liked her and it was like chatting between normal friends. But now, no matter what Xia Tian said, she always felt that he had ulterior motives.
Xia Tian's tone was quite cheerful, but Lin Jin imagined that he must still have that iceberg face right now.
"I requested two days leave on the livestream yesterday."
"That's good. You stream every day and exceed the required streaming hours every month. And you even have work and stuff, it’s about time to take a break." Lin Jin rested her chin on one hand by the computer desk. She held the phone with one hand while the other hand unconsciously moved the mouse around randomly. "But if you do this, you’ll miss out on gift donations for two days and the livestream money would also be less."
"It's fine. There’s very few gifts when you’re not streaming with me. But these two days there were quite a lot. Some rich guys even sent planes, asking you to come back." Xia Tian's tone had a trace of helplessness. "They even thought it’s because I drove you away to hog everything myself. They won’t listen no matter what I say. After all, before, at least we would still stream playing games together, but now we don't even play games together."
"Recently, I haven't had much interest in games. I've been lazing around in bed every day like a salted fish." Lin Jin shrugged. "Back when I was in school, I played games every day. Now that it's the break, I just want to sleep and rest some more."
"Mm."
"Why does it feel like it’s quite noisy on your end?" Lin Jin suddenly noticed the noise on the other end of the call. "Are you on the street? Not working?"
"It's Sunday today, okay?" Xia Tian casually said. "I'm buying things outside, preparing to buy a girlfriend to take back."
"Your left and right hands aren’t enough?"
Lin Jin rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she found a funny video on the computer that interested her and immediately clicked it open to watch it.
However, because of the video, Lin Jin got distracted watching it. Although she could hear Xia Tian babbling about something on the phone, she didn't actually take in a single word. She just subconsciously responded: "Mm, mm, oh~ that so..."
After a few minutes, Xia Tian finally noticed and asked discontentedly: "You’re playing games aren’t you? Or watching TV?"
"Nope, I'm watching a video, not TV." Lin Jin boldly said. "Wait another five minutes for me, I’m almost done watching... Hmm, wait, I found another video, it seems quite interesting."
Xia Tian was completely dumbfounded and could only hang up the phone.
Lin Jin didn't mind. If she could disgust Xia Tian to the point where he had no feelings for her, then her work would be done. Yeah.
But thinking about it, it seemed quite difficult.
After hanging up, Lin Jin continued comfortably watching videos. After watching some interesting ones, she went to edit the footage she had recorded the day before yesterday into a video and then uploaded it online.
For Lin Jin now, editing videos was extremely easy. Plus, there were templates that she could directly use. As long as the background music and dance was synced and then the subtitles were added, it was basically done.
However, today she needed to change the opening image. After all, this was a duet dance, and having an anime picture of only herself didn't seem appropriate.
Drawing was also quite easy for Lin Jin. With her elementary drawing proficiency, she could handle some small drawings. It only took her two hours to draw a two person anime drawing. Then she replaced the original opening template image and the problem was solved.
After finishing the video, Lin Jin had nothing else to do. She wanted to play games, but wasn’t really willing to play alone. So she opened QQ and sent Xia Tian a message: "Let’s livestream together tonight?"
"I took time off."
Xia Tian replied very fast. Lin Jin wondered if he happened to be playing on his phone or something.
"Is that so? Then I'll play by myself?" Lin Jin didn't expect that when Xia Tian mentioned taking time off, it was actually true.
After all, Xia Tian didn't earn much at his work nowadays, right? The money from livestreaming was much more than his salary from working. If it were Lin Jin, she would rather take leave from the company than from streaming. After all, taking a day off was just losing money.
"Well, you play by yourself first. I’ll join you later."
Only then did Lin Jin remember that Xia Tian was outside right now, so she didn’t say much. She pouted and then opened the game, preparing to play a couple rounds and then take a nap or something.
"Oh right, send me your address."
"What the hell’s the address for?"
"Seeing how far apart we are."
That was a thing? Xia Tian’s head today might have some problems, right?
Lin Jin didn't think much about it. She picked up her phone and sent him the address. Anyway, Xia Tian had many days when his head wasn't right, especially every time he drew. There was definitely something wrong with his brain.
Otherwise, how could he possibly draw nude sketches first and then add clothes?
The game started. Lin Jin ignored the flashing QQ icon again for now, preparing to focus on playing a couple of games to crush some noobs.
As someone with beginner gaming proficiency, what Lin Jin loved the most was crushing noobs in ranks that were obviously lower than her true skill. She would straight up randomly pick a hero and then happily use any hero to beat the opponents. The feeling was really satisfying.
After playing two games, she heard the sounds of Lin Chen and Wu Jia returning in the living room. Lin Jin immediately stood up and locked the door from inside, indicating that she was already asleep, then threw herself directly onto the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and prepared to take a nap.
Hmm... Why did she suddenly feel that when she wakes up, something really bad will happen?
