Chapter 495: – Son in law?
In the evening, Xia Tian's room had already been cleared to make some space. But since the rental room was so small, even after pushing all the tables and chairs aside, it could only accommodate one person dancing.
Lin Jin had already picked and tried out the dance she prepared for Xia Tian. This dance wasn't hard, it was just that all the hopping around required a lot of stamina. Lin Jin suspected that this Xia Tian guy, who basically never exercised, might be out of breath after just one dance.
The dance was really simple. Since the last time she taught her cousin to dance, Lin Jin realized that what seemed easy to her was actually pretty difficult for these people who had never danced before. So the dance she prepared for Xia Tian this time was really the simplest it could get. Just bouncing and hopping around or whatever, without too many other movements, it also didn’t require any flexibility or anything.
It was just that when dancing, if the bouncing and hopping was somewhat stiff, it would look really ugly.
Also, it was easy to disturb others while practicing.
Lin Jin had taught two people dancing before, so teaching Xia Tian again was a breeze. First, she demonstrated the dance once, then Xia Tian awkwardly twisted and turned in the small space of the rental room.
"See, I really don’t have any talent for dancing." Xia Tian shrugged helplessly.
Lin Jin pouted. It took Xia Tian a whole hour just to barely remember the moves, he could actually be considered pretty talented.
"I'm not streaming with you tonight." Lin Jin sat at the head of the bed, her legs swinging back and forth in the air. She somewhat helplessly said "My dad brought someone back from who knows where, said they’re here to hang out with me. Tonight, I’m guessing I’ll have to take him out for some barbecue or something."
"Guy or girl?" Xia Tian asked Lin Jin while sitting in front of the computer.
"A guy." Lin Jin frowned in annoyance and very unhappily said "I feel like my dad has intentions of matching me with him or something, but that guy is so introverted he would hardly speak."
"Matching?" Xia Tian's voice suddenly got much louder.
"Yeah." Lin Jin kept talking to herself over there, "Although my dad didn't directly say it, he used to say it would be best if I married someone whose family was rich. And judging by that guy's clothes, he does seem pretty well off."
Although Lin Jin hadn’t really looked into branded items or anything, that guy was decked out in Adidas, which could still be considered pretty expensive clothes. Anyway, the average college student might have one or two pieces of branded clothing, but that guy was wearing a whole set.
If she remembered correctly, back when she lived in the student dormitory, there was someone next door who bought a pair of Adidas sneakers that cost 700 yuan.
Tsk, for poor Lin Jin whose clothes on her body totaled less than 300 yuan, hearing that a single pair of shoes cost 700 yuan made her shiver.
"Maybe you're overthinking it?" Although Xia Tian's face remained expressionless, Lin Jin still noticed he seemed a bit nervous.
"I also think I’m overthinking it, yeah." Lin Jin got up from the bed, did a lazy stretch, and casually said, "So I'm planning to head back now."
"I'll go with you." Xia Tian also stood up, nervously saying, "Your dad knows me, I'll go talk to him."
"Talk to him? Talk about what?" Lin Jin kicked off her slippers and squatted down to put on her height increasing shoes, ready to leave.
"Tell him that you're my girlfriend." But Xia Tian directly ran before Lin Jin, looking flustered as he explained "That, didn’t you not want to find a boyfriend? Then I'll cover for you, pretend to be your boyfriend..."
Lin Jin hesitated for a moment. Feeling that this idea wasn’t bad, she could only nod.
Xia Tian was overjoyed, even that cold iceberg face of his showed a smile.
She had to admit, when his smile wasn’t forced, he really did look quite handsome.
The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder downstairs. Even though normally at this time, Xia Tian would have already started streaming, he thought helping Lin Jin solve her problem was more important.
What if Lin Jin's dad really wanted to find her a boyfriend, and if this one didn't work out he just found another, and Lin Jin ended up liking that guy?
Then what would he do?
"Since I'm pretending to be your boyfriend, you should be a bit more intimate with me." Xia Tian glanced at Lin Jin beside him.
Lin Jin raised her head to look up at him, a bit confused as she then looked at the distance between them: "Aren't we walking pretty close? It’s pretty intimate, this is fine."
"I meant that you should hold my arm." Xia Tian expressionlessly extended his hand "Or holding my hand works too."
Lin Jin's expression darkened instantly and she slapped his hand away.
It was still early. Her dad was currently in front of the milk tea shop playing with a group of elderly folks and kids, while that Chen Jin was still standing off to the side with a lifeless expression, like a background prop.
"Dad, I'm back." Lin Jin walked straight over to her dad, smiling as she pulled Xia Tian's arm to bring him forward. She introduced, "Dad, this is my boyfriend."
Her dad looked up at Lin Jin in confusion, then looked at Xia Tian, suddenly realizing: "Oh, the one who came to our house last time?"
Speaking of which, her dad was quite pleased last time when he saw Xia Tian. Seeing Xia Tian, this handsome young man, again this time, he got excited and hurriedly invited Xia Tian to sit down. He even called over Chen Jin, who had been acting like a background prop, seemingly comparing which of the two was better.
Lin Jin glanced at the nearby Chen Jin. Although this person was called over by her dad, her dad didn’t seem to pay much attention to him and just ordered Lin Jin to take him around.
This Chen Jin guy didn't seem interested in Lin Jin, but her dad acted like he was checking out potential son in laws, asking both him and Xia Tian all sorts of questions.
Although Xia Tian's family background wasn't great and his hometown was also pretty far, her dad was very satisfied with his current salary of nearly ten thousand yuan a month. After all, Xia Tian had only graduated a year or two ago and could already make that kind of money, which showed his capability. As for this Chen Jin person, although studied at Xiamen University, her dad didn't like how silent he was.
Sigh.
So her dad expressed that he was very satisfied with Xia Tian.
Motherf*cker, it was as he had really planned to set her up on a blind date.
Lin Jin sat off to the side, helplessly watching as her dad excitedly interrogated them.
Anyway, she didn’t know why her dad was so anxious about her finding a boyfriend.
Xia Tian, on the other hand, was very happy. He was already interested in Lin Jin. He was like an open book when her dad questioned him, though most of the stuff would have some embellishments. For example, his job salary was actually only two or three thousand yuan. Even with his livestream income added, it was still only around seven to eight thousand, not reaching ten thousand at all.
