Chapter 484: – Go Back With Me?
After eating the Yangshan chicken with Xia Tian, Lin Jin held her bloated belly and kept burping. Although she had only drunk a cup of cola, the Yangshan chicken at this place was truly delicious. Lin Jin, who had never tried such foods before ate so much she almost swallowed her own tongue. Out of the big plate of chicken, she alone ate two thirds.
The result was that she was stuffed, while Xia Tian seemed to not be affected at all.
Xia Tian seemed to really enjoy seeing Lin Jin in this overstuffed state, his face full of smiles as he watched her slump in the chair.
"What are you looking at." Lin Jin glanced at Xia Tian and angrily glared.
"Looking at you like this, it’s pretty cute..."
Cute?
The corners of Lin Jin's mouth twitched. With her current appearance, others had often used adjectives like beautiful for her, but cute was pretty rare.
Besides, she had really never planned on being a cute girl! Her goal was to be a mature and elegant beauty, okay?
"You look silly and cute." Xia Tian added.
Silly?
Lin Jin subconsciously ignored the last word and gave Xia Tian another displeased glare: "You're the silly one!"
Xia Tian didn't know how he had offended Lin Jin and helplessly scratched his head. He had no way to deal with an unreasonable Lin Jin.
After paying, the two of them strolled leisurely down the street. It was Lin Jin's first time in this part of Guangzhou. Most of the buildings here looked a bit old and she couldn't see any skyscrapers at a glance. Although it was still bustling with cars and people, the streets here had a small county town feel.
These types of streets were actually preferred by Lin Jin, she didn’t like those modern metropolises. Although she was amazed the first time she saw them, she always felt an inexplicable sense of alienation on those streets.
Perhaps because she had spent so many years in her hometown in the county, Lin Jin preferred slightly older streets like these.
Strolling down the street, watching the office workers riding by on bicycles or standing at bus stops expectantly waiting for the bus, Lin Jin suddenly felt very relaxed.
She felt that even while she was in school, she wouldn’t be able to become one of them.
"What are you thinking about?" Xia Tian walked in a somewhat timid manner, not swinging his arms much and his steps weren't very large.
"Nothing."
They wandered aimlessly for about a kilometer or two before Lin Jin stopped and plopped down on a bench by the street.
"Tired?" Xia Tian stood beside the bench, resting his hands on the bench’s backrest and lowered his head to look at Lin Jin, whose face was already sweating. "Want me to get you a bottle of coke?"
"Why are you being so attentive now?" Lin Jin turned around and glanced at him.
Having just eaten and then walking such a long distance made Lin Jin's stomach feel a bit uncomfortable with some throbbing pain. But this kind of pain was basically present everytime she ran, so she didn't really mind and had long since gotten used to it.
It was just that it did hurt enough that she couldn't walk any further.
"How is this being attentive?" Xia Tian started talking nonsense. "This is just considered the care a beauty deserves. There are already so few beauties, if we don’t start caring, then what if they become an endangered species?"
Lin Jin was stunned for a moment and looked at Xia Tian as if he was a weirdo. This person would never be so idle to say so many words.
And the words are also corny lines, maybe he saw it somewhere and was just repeating it, right?
She rolled her eyes at him. Lin Jin felt that even if the truth wasn’t exactly as she thought, it couldn’t be too far off.
Xia Tian also seemed to realize that his words were a bit weird. He originally wasn't the type who liked to say corny things, suddenly saying such a line would make anyone feel something was off.
So he obediently ran to a roadside shop to buy Lin Jin a tall can of cola and got himself a bottle of water, then eagerly ran back again.
Watching Lin Jin take a sip of the coke, Xia Tian once again brought up the previous matter.
"Come back with me this afternoon to Xiamen?"
"Reason." Lin Jin took another sip of coke and slowly said "I'm living comfortably here, why should I go with you back to Xiamen?"
"There's no one here to take care of you." Xia Tian said without hesitation.
"My mom takes care of me. My younger brother’s bossed around by me everyday, and I even occasionally bully my cousin for fun." Lin Jin shrugged. "How’s there no one to take care of me?"
Besides, you don't look like someone who can take care of others.
Lin Jin crossed her legs. After taking two sips of the coke, the summer heat instantly vanished. She comfortably stretched, watching the pedestrians hurriedly coming and going.
"Besides, if I go back with you, you still have to work and stuff." Lin Jin glanced at him with some disdain. "When do you, a member of society, have time to hang out with me. Everyday, you’re only free at night. What am I supposed to do during the day? Sleep?"
"Also, most of the shops near the school are probably closed, right? There won’t be anything to eat normally even if I want to. I’d even have to cook everyday to eat, so annoying."
After Xia Tian thought for a long time, he finally suggested a lousy idea: "Then I'll quit my job?"
"You're planning to become a full time streamer?" Lin Jin rolled her eyes at him again. "This streaming type of job is for slackers or the elderly, okay? What if Dota 2 isn't popular in the future? What if you can't play the games that become popular in the future?"
Although Lin Jin hadn't actually entered the streaming world, she had at least done some research, okay? She had always been opposed to the idea of being a full time streamer.
"Also, when you stop streaming in the future, your skills in drawing and whatever will have lagged behind. You wouldn’t be able to find a job even if you wanted to." Lin Jin kept talking about the downsides of being a full time streamer.
Xia Tian also listened earnestly to Lin Jin's teachings, just that his eyes couldn’t help but scan up and down her body, staring intently at her chest, hips, face, and so on.
Tsk, he had to admit, even though Lin Jin's chest was a bit small and she was wearing a thick sweater and coat, even so, she still looked especially alluring.
Lin Jin suddenly noticed Xia Tian's gaze, turned her head, and fiercely glared at him: "What are you looking at!"
"Can't I look at my own wife?"
"No!" Lin Jin's gaze became even fiercer, but seeing that Xia Tian still didn't seem scared, she stood up, placed both her hands by her face like claws, and opened her mouth wide at Xia Tian, "Roar!"
"Pfft!"
Xia Tian laughed very happily.
"Tch!" Lin Jin knew that she'd never be able to make a fierce expression in this life.
Clearly back when she was the school bully, she was so fierce that just a glare could make little kids cry. But now, no matter how she tried, she couldn’t look fierce at all.
