Chapter 491: – Let’s crossdress, Xia Tian!
In the evenings was when Lin Jin’s dad’s milk tea shop really opened. Around when dinner time ended, a group of grandpas and grandmas came over to the front of the milk tea shop and used the mahjong table to play mahjong. At the same time, they even brought some children over.
Playing mahjong didn’t cost money, but that group of children always pestered to buy milk tea. Her dad got along quite well with this group of grandpas and grandmas, sitting by the side watching them play mahjong while chatting and discussing all sorts of things with them. It was quite joyous.
After Lin Jin stood at the shop for a while, she went straight to Xia Tian's place.
Today, Xia Tian didn't have to work overtime, so he got home at seven in the evening.
When Lin Jin arrived, Xia Tian hadn't been home for long. He was sitting at his computer desk, eating the takeout dinner he had brought back. Since all the stores on this street were pretty much all closed, Xia Tian could only buy food near his company to bring back.
"How was work today?" Xia Tian’s door wasn’t locked. Lin Jin directly opened the door and walked in, glanced at him eating dinner, and plopped herself down on the bed. "Speaking of which, how did you know I was coming back at noon? No matter how I think about it, it couldn't have been such a coincidence, right?"
"It was just a coincidence." Xia Tian looked up and said to Lin Jin while eating "Anyway, I just thought you should be arriving, and since it was lunch break, I just casually went over to check."
Alright, what an incredible coincidence.
Lin Jin sighed. She didn't know what to do at that moment, so she just sat on the bed, resting her chin in her hands as she watched Xia Tian eat.
"My dad seems to be doing pretty well lately, or not as bad as I imagined, and he seems to be in a good mood." Lin Jin was in a good mood, at least seeing her dad like this made her feel at ease, so she couldn't help but smile. "He also doesn’t seem to be gambling much lately. At least, he doesn't look like he's been gambling."
"Your dad? Lately, every day after work, I would see a group of people hanging out in front of his shop." Xia Tian quickly finished his dinner and tossed the trash into the bin. Then he leaned one hand on the computer desk and turned to look at Lin Jin with a hint of a smile in his eyes, asking, "Didn't you say before that you'd rather die than come back? How come you figured it out after just one day?"
"I just wanted to come back, so what?"
"Nothing." Although Xia Tian's gaze carried a smile, his face remained expressionless. Completely like someone with facial paralysis. He continued asking in a teasing tone "Are you sure it's not because you missed me? Or did you think things through?"
"No way, aren’t you way too full of yourself?"
Lin Jin felt this Xia Tian guy had problems. What was wrong with someone wanting to come back? What does it have to do with him!
Though Xia Tian looked indifferent, shrugging and turning back around. Maybe he sensed Lin Jin’s reluctance about having a boyfriend, he didn’t plan to continue doing any meaningless things, nor did he intend to keep saying those pointless cheesy lines.
"Let's stream." Xia Tian casually opened the streaming software and then pulled Lin Jin's designated chair next to him.
"Oh right, Xia Tian." Lin Jin sat next to him and suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit. "How about learning to dance with me and making videos?"
"Huh?" Xia Tian looked confused.
"It’s just a weekly video. I recorded one before with my cousin. He had also never danced before, but was trained to dance well by me in just a week. The feedback online is really good too!" Lin Jin giggled as she patted Xia Tian's shoulder, encouragingly saying, "I believe you can do it too!"
"I..."
"I came back just to get you to dance with me! When we release dance videos in the future, we'll put your livestream in the video description. It can even help promote you!" Lin Jin cut off Xia Tian's words. She kept patting his shoulder, and with a face full of smiles, asked the viewers in the livestream, "Don't you all want to see this expressionless Xia Tian dance?"
"And it'll also be those super cute, super cute anime dances!" Lin Jin snatched the mouse from Xia Tian's hand, navigated to the livestream page, and checked the chat.
Since the livestream had just started, there were probably only a few dozen viewers, but the chat comments were plenty, all spamming the screen.
"Crossdress dance! Crossdress dance!"
"Sailor outfit! Bunny girl outfit!"
"I'll definitely watch if Xia Tian releases a crossdressing dance video!"
Everyone was rallying him on, which made Xia Tian's expression darken a bit, but Lin Jin unhesitatingly continued to fan the flames: "Oh crossdressing. Crossdressing will depend on if Xia Tian is willing. How about this, you guys can send ten rocket gifts to encourage him. Yeah."
Ten rocket gifts was naturally impossible, but Lin Jin enjoyed seeing Xia Tian’s nervous look, from the fear that a wealthy viewer might actually send rockets to make him crossdress and dance.
The livestream's viewer count gradually increased.
Lin Jin was too lazy to interact with the viewers. She put her feet up on her chair and leaned back against Xia Tian's arm, sitting casually while playing with her phone.
Xia Tian, on the other hand, did his best to interact with the viewers, trying to increase the viewer count as much as possible.
Although the livestream's peak viewer count was usually in the tens of thousands, Xia Tian still wasn't very satisfied. Since if he was streaming alone, having three to five thousand viewers would already be good.
"Today, let's play some PUBG first. We’ll play Dota later."
Xia Tian seemed to have forgotten Lin Jin's earlier invitation to dance, nonchalantly opening the game.
"Ah!" Lin Jin suddenly yelled out.
"What's wrong?" Xia Tian frowned and turned to look at her.
Lin Jin raised her head with an embarrassed look, holding up the livestream app on her phone, and said with a chuckle: "Sorry, but someone really did send you ten rockets..."
"Actually, I was just joking, but someone really sent them so there's nothing I can do! There’s no way to return the gifts, and even if there were, it would feel bad to since the money’s already in your pocket." Lin Jin kept giggling foolishly. "So just learn to dance with me. I can also do makeup, your crossdressing won’t be too ugly!"
Xia Tian's expression was extremely dark. He took out his phone and pulled up the livestream, finding that all the comments were all telling him to fulfill his promise, even though that promise hadn't actually come from his mouth.
"That uh, thank you to the generous viewer for the ten rockets..." Xia Tian looked troubled. Although his face was still expressionless, everyone could see his embarrassment. "But this crossdressing and dancing thing really isn't inappropriate, right? I'm so handsome, crossdressing would be such a waste, right?"
"Hey, you've already agreed to crossdress and dance for ten rockets, you’re still planning to back out?" Lin Jin by the side continued adding fuel to the fire as if it wasn’t related to her. "Ten rockets is five thousand yuan! If you took this five thousand yuan out on the street to get someone to crossdress and dance, everyone would definitely be willing. Why are you so unhappy?"
"Isn’t it just crossdressing!"
Xia Tian suddenly felt that liking someone like her was truly a sin.
