Chapter 497: – I don’t agree with this marriage!
After having a seafood buffet with her two roommates, Lin Jin went over to Xia Tian's place.
Xia Tian didn't get home until eight o'clock today. Based on a commute time of one hour, he must have worked overtime until at least seven. Probably his company had some new project.
Even though he didn’t get home until eight, Lin Jin still forced him to practice dancing for half an hour before he started his livestream.
After playing two games of Dota and winning once in PUBG, Xia Tian suddenly said to Lin Jin: "I have something urgent and need to go out for a bit. Can you play a couple of games for me?"
Lin Jin, who was sitting beside him as a background prop, blankly looked at him. This Xia Tian guy never went out at night, who knows why he had something to do so late today.
"What is it?" Lin Jin asked casually.
Xia Tian put the phone on the table into his pants pocket, stood up, and said with a smile: "Just help me play two games. I'll be right back."
"Oh..." Lin Jin looked up blankly at Xia Tian, who was about to head out, shrugged and said, "If you come back too late, the viewers might not want you to stream anymore."
"No worries."
Lin Jin pouted. Recently, her popularity online has also grown a bit compared to before. Every livestream, some fans who watch her videos would come over to join the fun.
Seeing Xia Tian leave, Lin Jin sat down in front of the computer, propped her chin with one hand, glanced at the chat, and found that most messages were shouting things like asking Xia Tian to not come back.
"Yeah, he really shouldn't come back." Lin Jin casually responded, clicked open the game, and continued saying, "Then today, I'll show you guys just how awesome I am."
For Lin Jin with gaming proficiency, although her skills weren’t at the professional level, she was at least a high level player. As for the game PUBG, she had intermittently played a few games a day. With her skills now, playing at Xia Tian’s rating was just like going fishing.
While chatting with the viewers, she put on the headphones and started the game. The character controlled by Lin Jin landed straight into the most crowded area, picked up a gun, and started going on a killing spree.
She basically didn't need to search for loot, instead just killing non stop for loot. After leaving the school area, she already had a level 3 helmet, level 2 backpack, and a fully equipped rifle and sniper rifle.
After about half an hour, Lin Jin's first game ended with an impressive 18 kills and first place. She smugly boasted to the camera, "As a school bully, I've never died at the school before! Getting the chicken dinner win this time is normal, after all, it's only 1500 rating!"
"Now look at that guy Xia Tian, he can barely even get any wins at 1500 rating. He's so bad!"
Lin Jin grinned as she switched from the game window to the livestream, propping her chin with both hands and looking at the chat.
"Xia Tian, don't come back!"
"Goddess Lin Jin, marry me!"
"Xia Tian doesn't deserve the goddess! The goddess is mine!"
Looking at those bizarre messages in chat, Lin Jin softly laughed a few times but didn't comment. She just looked somewhat puzzled toward the door and muttered to herself: "Why hasn't he come back yet? I've already finished a game."
"It can’t be that he found streaming too annoying and went to hide at my dad’s place, right?"
Lin Jin was just about to start another game when she heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside.
So she decided not to continue playing and just waited for Xia Tian to come back.
The door was unlocked by a key. Xia Tian stood at the doorway with eyes full of smiles but he still had a cold expression.
Lin Jin waited for a moment, then suddenly rolled her eyes and asked: "Why aren't you coming in?"
"Giving you time to mentally prepare." Xia Tian stood at the door with a smile and said "Close your eyes, take a deep breath, get ready."
"What? Proposing?" Lin Jin didn't pay attention to Xia Tian's words at all. She just stared at Xia Tian outside the door and said somewhat impatiently "Just say it if there’s anything. Why are you being so mysterious?"
Xia Tian scratched his hair, helplessly realizing that Lin Jin was really too different from other girls. He could only walk inside and smiled at Lin Jin: "Got you a gift."
"It's not flowers, is it? That’s too cliche. Or a diamond ring or something? Isn’t that also cliche?" Lin Jin rested her chin on one hand, not even bothering to stand up, and just looked at Xia Tian like that "Or is it something else?"
For some reason, although Lin Jin's tone was very flat and various guesses had also flashed through her mind, her heartbeat still inexplicably started to speed up, and her face also began to quickly flush red.
She tried her best to pretend she didn’t care, but still found it a bit hard to endure Xia Tian’s affectionate gaze.
That look, it was too disgusting.
Lin Jin lowered her head, not willing to see that look of Xia Tian.
Then she heard the sound of wheels rolling. She curiously looked up and found that Xia Tian was pulling something like a serving cart into the room. On the cart were densely packed roses arranged into the shape of a big flower. The number of these flowers was at least in the hundred. If calculated at five yuan per flower, then that was at least eight hundred or a thousand yuan.
Lin Jin didn't find it romantic at first, she just frowned and asked: "Why are you wasting money like this?"
That Xia Tian was straight up dumbfounded. According to online guides, when girls see this kind of scene, even if they didn’t throw themselves at you, they would at least shyly lower their heads and wait for the man’s confession. But why was it that Lin Jin just started questioning?
"Your salary is just how much? And how much did this cost? Do you feel you're earning too much from streaming and have nowhere to spend it?" Lin Jin turned her head aside with a look of disdain. Although her face was flushed red, she still pretended to be extremely annoyed.
Xia Tian finally stopped being confused. He realized that although Lin Jin was saying disdainful words, the expression on her face exposed her.
She was clearly very happy!
The usually cold face of Xia Tian showed a rare smile. He pushed the cart full of roses in front of Lin Jin and suddenly knelt down on one knee.
Lin Jin was so frightened that she jumped up from the chair. She looked at Xia Tian kneeling on the ground in confusion and stammered as she asked "What's going on, hey, don't kneel... Just say what you want to say, don't kneel..."
"Lin Jin! Will you be with me!" Xia Tian raised his head with a serious expression, pressed his lips together, and said to Lin Jin "Although I'm not the easiest person to get along with, I promise I won’t let you suffer any grievances in the future. Is that okay?"
Lin Jin was so shocked by Xia Tian's words that her face was a bit twisted. She clearly wanted to reject him outright but somehow, she actually couldn't get the words of rejection out of her mouth.
"If in the future, I ever do anything to wrong you, you can break up with me anytime. Is that okay?" Xia Tian's expression was sincere.
Lin Jin had never seen Xia Tian look like this before, his seriousness was a bit intimidating.
At this time, the chat was already going crazy and the chat messages were all unified as if from a bunch of bots.
"I don’t agree with this marriage!"
