Chapter 503: – Lightbulb
Teacher Lin was a person who really tormented people.
When sleeping with her at night, Lin Jin felt like she was instantly turned into a big body pillow hugged by Teacher Lin and held tight all night.
Being hugged while sleeping wasn't actually as comfortable as people normally imagined. It might even feel very uncomfortable. After all, suddenly having someone clinging to you and it also being a heavy adult, had the same feeling as that of a cat lying on your chest while you slept, being suffocated and unable to breath.
Also, because Lin Jin was being hugged, it meant she couldn’t move even if she wanted to. She could only lie there with an exasperated expression, feeling Teacher Lin's arms and legs wrapped around her.
When Lin Jin, who had not slept well the entire night, woke up, she found she already had dark circles under her eyes.
But Teacher Lin slept very well. Lin Jin, this big body pillow, was much more comfortable than those small ones at home. Being both soft and fragrant, there was no need to mention how comfortable it was, okay?
Early in the morning, Lin Jin somewhat unhappily broke free from Teacher Lin's embrace. She sat up on the bed and then blankly stared out the window.
Sigh, so sleepy.
She felt tired and weak.
Teacher Lin was woken up by Lin Jin's movements. She yawned and sat up, then turned to look at Lin Jin beside her and cheerfully said: "You’re up so early? How was your sleep last night?"
"Not good at all, okay?" Lin Jin rudely grumbled. She climbed down from the bed, wore her slippers, and stood by the bedside to do a big lazy stretch.
She felt like she was dying.
Lin Jin's sleep recently has been very regular and stable. So after such a sudden bad night’s sleep, she felt like her whole body wasn't her own anymore.
"What’s wrong? I slept so well." Teacher Lin still pretended to be innocent as she looked at Lin Jin.
"Nonsense, of course you slept well." Lin Jin rolled her eyes at her, sighed speechlessly, then walked out of her bedroom and headed toward the bathroom.
Even though she had nothing to do in the morning and she completely could have just gone back to sleep, Lin Jin thought that since she was already up, it was better to have breakfast first and then catch up on sleep.
After washing up, she went to the kitchen to make three portions of breakfast. Just then, the doorbell rang. Opening the door, she saw Xia Tian standing expressionlessly at the door with his hands in his pockets.
"I say, who are you planning to show that dead looking face to?" Lin Jin was a bit dissatisfied with Xia Tian's iceberg expression.
Whereas this Xia Tian person was very straightforward. His iceberg expression immediately melted away, revealing a mouthful of white teeth and his smile.
"That's more like it." Lin Jin turned, giving him the back of her head. "Come on, breakfast is ready. It's Sunday today, right? Are you working?"
"Not working. I'll be with you today."
Speaking of which, with Lin Jin being on summer break, she actually rarely paid attention to things like what day of the week it was. After all, during this break, no matter if it was Monday or Sunday, it was all time for sleeping.
But ever since she started dating Xia Tian, Lin Jin started paying a lot of attention to this thing, afraid that one Sunday Xia Tian would suddenly be gone.
"Let's eat first."
She led Xia Tian to the dining room, but found that this Teacher Lin person had long been inside feasting. Hearing the sounds, Teacher Lin looked up at the two and showed that silly smile: "Yo, let’s eat together! I cooked it!"
"I clearly cooked it."
Lin Jin rolled her eyes.
Since it was Sunday, Lin Jin didn't plan to catch up on sleep after eating breakfast. She just thought about Xia Tian being able to properly accompany her for a day.
It would be even better if there wasn’t Teacher Lin.
After eating, the three of them sat shoulder to shoulder on the sofa, ready to talk about today's plans.
"How about Gulangyu Island? I've been in Xiamen for a year already but I’ve never been there." Lin Jin suggested first.
"No. Gulangyu is a big rip off, there’s nothing fun." Teacher Lin, this Xiamen native, directly objected.
"Yeah, I also went there when I was studying before. It wasn’t that interesting."
Since those two were both against it, Lin Jin didn’t insist either. Besides, it was also rumored that Gulangyu didn’t actually have much interesting stuff, but aside from this one Gulangyu hotspot, she didn't know where else was interesting in Xiamen.
"I have a suggestion!" Teacher Lin raised her right hand up. "I think we should stay at home and watch TV together!"
"I would agree if it was without you." Lin Jin rolled her eyes at Teacher Lin.
"But I'm sleepy. I want to sleep. I want to stay at home and chill, okay?" Teacher Lin sighed and dejectedly said "When I’m at home, my mom keeps telling me to do chores every day, always complaining about me. I really want to just chill inside and do nothing for a few days."
"Then you can just be a salted fish at home. Xia Tian and I will go out to play." Lin Jin glanced at Xia Tian beside her, this guy hadn't reacted at all in ages.
"Eh, but this is your place. How can I feel comfortable staying here if you're not around?"
"Then just stop talking nonsense."
A super big third wheel!
After Lin Jin silently complained inside, she lowered her head and took out her phone to quietly read a novel.
Xia Tian didn't know what to do either. The already slightly introverted Xia Tian had no way to deal with Teacher Lin. Additionally, with Teacher Lin around, he felt weird even just hugging Lin Jin. He could only obediently sit there, saying nothing as he looked at Lin Jin’s profile.
But this Teacher Lin fellow was completely oblivious. When she noticed that Xia Tian's gaze was always on Lin Jin's face, she unhesitatingly teased: "Xia Tian, you and Lin Jin will have time alone sooner or later. Why do you keep staring at her?"
Xia Tian was stunned for a bit. Looking up, he finally spoke the words he was holding for a long time: "You lightbulb."
"True, I’m a ten thousand watt super lightbulb!"
Teacher Lin confidently said.
Completely incomprehensible.
Xia Tian was stunned and at a loss for words. If he were more familiar with Teacher Lin, then he might have said some more lines. But since Teacher Lin was Lin Jin's guest, he completely did not know what he should say to her.
After a long while, Teacher Lin finally spoke again.
"I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep some more. You guys have fun." She seemed to have gotten tired of playing this act as a lightbulb game. Standing up, she patted her butt and then walked into Lin Jin’s room.
Xia Tian was excited and immediately put an arm around Lin Jin's waist. Lin Jin was startled. Turning her head, she glanced at the expressionless Xia Tian, who looked as if he hadn’t done anything. She then took a look at Teacher Lin, who had already entered the bedroom, before finally breathing a sigh of relief and then gave him an annoyed glare.
"How about we go out for lunch by ourselves?" Xia Tian whispered in Lin Jin's ear. "Let's not bring your teacher. There might be something wrong with her head."
"I also think there’s something wrong with her head." Lin Jin nodded. "So what should we eat?"
"I remember you like to eat meat, right? How about lamb hot pot?" Even though Xia Tian had never asked about Lin Jin’s eating habits, from the few times he had seen her eat, he noticed she always had plenty of meat in her dishes and would always eat it first
"Hot pot in the middle of summer?"
"Then all you can eat barbecue?"
"That works. I went to the all you can eat barbeque at Wanda with my roommates before. It was pretty good." Lin Jin wriggled around a bit. After finding a comfortable position, she leaned half her body into Xia Tian’s arms.
This was how it should feel between boyfriend and girlfriend!
