Chapter 478: – I regard you as a friend, but you actually want to get on top of me
When she woke up from her nap, Lin Jin felt a bit dazed.
While she was sleeping, she kept thinking that she was taking a night’s sleep instead of an afternoon nap. As a result, even though she had almost woken up several times, she thought that since it was night, she might as well sleep a bit longer and ended up going back to sleep.
She was originally supposed to wake up in about two hours, but she ended up sleeping for four hours straight. It wasn’t until it was getting dark did she wake up.
Glancing at the time, it was already past seven in the evening.
It looks like there was no way she would be able to sleep early tonight. Later, she might as well drag Lin Chen and Wu Jia up for a walk together.
She sighed. Having just woken up, her mouth felt a bit dry. She didn’t feel content even after drinking a couple sips of water. So she could only get up, change her clothes, and then leisurely opened her bedroom door.
“Sister, you’re awake?” Lin Chen on the sofa turned his head to look at Lin Jin. His legs crossed as he casually asked: “Where are you going?”
“Downstairs to buy an ice cream.”
Lin Jin glanced at the sofa and saw that the two, Lin Chen and Wu Jia, were busy playing together in Honor of Kings. She didn’t say anything more, just opened the front door and headed downstairs.
Although Lin Jin was a homebody, she also couldn’t stand the stuffy air after being cooped up inside all day. So every day, she would always use this reason to go downstairs for an hour and breathe some fresh air.
Leisurely arriving downstairs, Lin Jin looked around at the people nearby and then headed toward the small store inside the residential community.
Then, she suddenly took two steps back, staring at the man sitting on the swing in the yard in front of the store as if she had seen a ghost.
What the f*ck?! What the f*ck?!
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, wondering if it was because she had just woken up and was seeing things. After all, this place was a long way from Xiamen, how could she possibly run into someone she knew?
Well, since it was just a back view, it must just be because the two people looked alike, right?
Thinking this way, Lin Jin finally convinced herself. She lowered her head and continued leisurely walking towards the store. Then, the man sitting on the swing suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Jin.
“Lin Jin!”
Lin Jin was dumbfounded as she turned around and looked at the man’s face.
“Huh?”
“What a coincidence! You’re here too?” He jogged over to Lin Jin’s side. Although he had a cold expression, he couldn’t hide the overflowing smile in the corners of his eyes. “I was just strolling around and saw you.”
“How did you manage to just stroll around and go from Xiamen all the way to Guangdong?” The corner’s of Lin Jin’s mouth was twitching as she asked him “Xia Tian, is there something wrong with your head?”
Right now, Xia Tian was basically the person Lin Jin least wanted to see. She didn’t want to meet anyone who might like her, even if that person was a good friend.
After all, she regarded him as a friend, but this friend actually wanted to get on top of her. This kind of thing was really hard to accept, alright?
“Well, my fans were shouting for me to find you, so I just came over to look for you.” Xia Tian said in a matter of fact tone. “Besides, I happened to be planning on taking a break so I just came over here for a vacation.”
Lin Jin felt that he simply came over to flirt with her.
“Whatever.” Lin Jin sighed. After going into the store and buying an ice cream, she returned to Xia Tian and asked “Then where are you staying tonight?”
“At a hotel of course. I’ve already booked it. I’ll just go straight there later.”
Lin Jin now finally understood. This Xia Tian must have planned this day for a long time. As for how he could find this place, it was because she had foolishly sent him the address this afternoon.
If she hadn’t sent it, then even if Xia Tian came, he probably wouldn’t have found her... No wait, even if she hadn’t sent it, Xia Tian would definitely have called and pretended to be pitiful, saying something like how he came to Guangzhou and had nowhere to stay and could only sleep on the streets.
Tch, what a scheming b*tch.
After imagining this scenario, Lin Jin’s gaze toward Xia Tian became even more complex. She unhappily grunted and sat on the swing where Xia Tian had been sitting with her ice cream.
“So that’s to say, you just came all the way here just to find me?” Lin Jin glanced at Xia Tian beside her. “There’s no other motive?”
“I guarantee there’s none!”
Pah! Who’d believe that!
This guy Xia Tian, when he speaks, aside from the fluctuation in his tone, his expression never changes at all. This made it difficult for Lin Jin to figure out his thoughts when she tried to test or talk to him.
“Let’s go out to play tonight?” Xia Tian walked behind Lin Jin and slowly pushed the swing for her. His tone was light and cheerful. “You’ve been in Guangdong for so long, do you have any especially fun places to recommend?”
“Internet cafe?” Lin Jin blankly said. “I’ve just been cooped up at home every day in Guangdong. I rarely go out to play.”
“Internet cafe?” Xia Tian once again realized how much of a homebody Lin Jin was. This girl came to a new place, came to a place named Guangdong, a foodie’s paradise, yet still managed to stay cooped up at home.
“Yeah, the internet cafes here have a great environment. A couple of days ago, I went to play with my brother and cousin. It felt pretty nice, just a bit expensive.”
The swing was a bit high. With Lin Jin’s height, her legs couldn’t reach the ground at all, so she could only let her two legs dangle in the air.
“So, let’s go to the internet cafe to play tonight? How about I stream tonight, how does duo Dota sound?” Xia Tian didn’t mind where they went. As long as he was with Lin Jin, he would probably be happy even going to a garbage dump.
“Up to you.”
Lin Jin tilted her head, enjoying the gentle sway of the swing, and let out a soft, comfortable hum.
“So, you really do like me, right?” Lin Jin once again began to struggle with this issue, then said in a somewhat guilty tone, “I don’t like men, I like girls...”
If I reject a friend, then will we not even be able to be friends anymore in the future?
“Oh?”
“Really!” Lin Jin was provoked by his indifferent response, thinking that Xia Tian didn’t believe her words. So she hurriedly tried to prove herself. “Last semester, I even flirted with a girl! But I thought that even if I’m into girls, I shouldn’t mess up some other normal girl’s life, right? So I didn’t continue with her! When I was young, I also dated girls a few times! Although it was just casual fun back then, at most holding hands or something, but I’ve never been with a man in my life!”
“Oh?!”
Xia Tian was quite surprised. After all, it seemed a bit unrealistic that such a beautiful girl like Lin Jin had never been in a relationship before.
Of course, when he thought back to Lin Jin’s tomboyish appearance before, he could somewhat understand why she didn’t date men.
“Also!” Lin Jin wondered if she should tell Xia Tian about the thing where she used to be a man. That way, there would be no way Xia Tian would continue to pester her anymore. After all, society still discriminated against such things...
Then, when the words were at her lips, she chickened out.
“Also what?” Xia Tian stopped pushing the swing.
“Also, we need to go to the internet cafe to play games. Yeah.” Lin Jin jumped off the swing. With a worried look, she frowned and said “Anyway, it’s just impossible between us. You’re also quite handsome, just randomly go find girls or something and you’ll have it. Don’t pester me.”
Xia Tian directly ignored the latter half of Lin Jin’s words: “Then let’s go, go play games.”
