Chapter 505: – As long as we’re happy
Lin Jin was out with Xia Tian eating and drinking, while Teacher Lin, this third wheel, was miserably sleeping in Lin Jin's bedroom.
After Lin Jin and Xia Tian finished their all you can eat barbecue, the two of them started aimlessly strolling the streets. Even though they could eat as much as they wanted because it was all you can eat, Lin Jin didn’t actually eat much in order to maintain her elegant and ladylike image. However, Xia Tian ate a lot, he ate so much that he could barely walk afterwards.
Lin Jin strolled through Wanda plenty of times before, but this was the first time she walked here hand in hand with someone so intimately.
Since the appearance of both of them were pretty good, not earth shatteringly beautiful but at least the level of a campus beauty, they attracted quite a few looks when they walked through Wanda holding hands.
Lin Jin really hated being stared at, so she just simply let go of Xia Tian's hand.
Xia Tian looked at Lin Jin in a bit of surprise, completely not sure why she would be so shy in front of others.
Most of the stores in Wanda were for eating and shopping. As for entertainment, there was only a movie theater and the arcade where Lin Jin had once played the dance machine.
Since Xia Tian was a poor person, and Lin Jin hadn't yet developed the habit of filling her closet with clothes, they didn't go shopping. They first went to the movie theater and bought two tickets. While waiting for the movie to start, they headed downstairs to play some of those arcade games.
Besides some of those older types of arcade games like The King of Fighters '97, this arcade also had quite a few motion based games as well as stuff like motorcycle racing and fishing games. But anyway, Lin Jin wasn't really interested in any of these. As soon as they entered the arcade, she exchanged some game tokens and went straight to the dance machine.
The current Lin Jin was not the newbie she used to be. Although she hadn’t played on the dance machine many times, the current her had quite good dancing skills. Standing on the dance machine, she stepped on the arrows beneath her feet along with the rhythm, and also twisted her upper body in the style of classical Chinese dance.
As for Xia Tian, this guy seemed to have a special liking for those old games. Maybe because he went to arcades a lot he was younger, he was pretty good at The King of Fighters. But after using only a few tokens, he sat on the sofa in front of the dance machine, half lying as he watched Lin Jin dance.
Although under the guidance of Lin Jin and Teacher Lin, Xia Tian could barely be considered able to dance, he was just mindlessly copying moves without any actual studying, and he wasn't familiar with the dance machine. So he could only watch Lin Jin dance.
Playing on the dance machine takes quite a bit of stamina, but Lin Jin had been dancing for a long time after all and had already built up her endurance. After dancing three songs in a row, she was just slightly out of breath, and then she was confused as Xia Tian suddenly pulled her out of the arcade.
"What? I haven't even used up my game tokens." Lin Jin was a bit confused. She had been dancing happily just now, but Xia Tian had suddenly pulled her out for some reason, which made her a bit unhappy. "We still have more than half an hour before the movie starts anyways, right? What's the rush?"
Xia Tian's expression was a bit dark, he didn’t look to be in a good mood.
Lin Jin didn't really understand what was wrong with him, so she could only cutely ask: "What's the matter? Why the long face all of a sudden?"
He glanced at Lin Jin but didn't say anything, turned his head away again and let go of her hand.
This guy... Lin Jin suddenly had a eureka moment, remembering the crowd of onlookers that had gathered while she was dancing.
"Don't tell me you're jealous?" Lin Jin asked with a sly smile, poking his waist with her finger. "Are you? Are you?"
Xia Tian said nothing, just staring straight ahead with a blank expression.
"Hey, so you really are jealous, huh?" Lin Jin giggled as she followed behind Xia Tian "If you're jealous, then just say so. I wouldn't have gone to play on the dance machine."
"You didn't get jealous before when I danced on stream."
Of course, Lin Jin knew that it might be because Xia Tian didn’t have any romantic feelings for her back then. But seeing him jealous now was actually quite amusing.
"So are you jealous? If not, I'll go back and keep playing?"
Xia Tian stopped walking and looked helplessly at Lin Jin: "Don't go. I am jealous."
Lin Jin chuckled. She had to admit, it did feel pretty good to have someone get jealous over her.
After that, they continued wandering around Wanda, and when it was almost time, they headed to the movie theater to wait for the movie to start.
Lin Jin really liked eating popcorn, and since the movie was also an action movie, they bought a bucket of popcorn and two cups of Coke, leisurely eating away as they waited for it to start.
The movie theater’s business here didn’t seem to be very good, but there were still quite a bit of people watching this movie. Probably around 70% of the seats were filled.
The two of them were a bit late when they bought their tickets, so they could only choose seats in the last row. There were seats available at the front but they were all on the sides, so the viewing experience would obviously be very poor.
After entering the movie theater, Lin Jin didn't look around curiously like the first time she came here. Back when she first visited the theater, she hadn't really watched the movie as her attention was entirely on the mysterious black cat that had inexplicably appeared on her phone. At that time, she never imagined that in less than a year, she would become a girl and even get a boyfriend.
That was almost unimaginable a year ago.
At least at that time, she never thought she would actually be turned into a girl by a cat, let alone that she would actually fall in love with a man.
Actually, it wasn’t really considered love, right?
The movie had already started. Xia Tian was intently watching the movie and holding Lin Jin in his arms, enjoying the rare leisure time they had after six busy days. Lin Jin, on the other hand, was carefully stealing glances at Xia Tian's profile.
Even now, she was still a bit confused about whether she really liked Xia Tian or not.
It wasn’t like she accepted his confession on a whim, it was just that she was genuinely confused about her own behavior. She clearly had good feelings toward Xia Tian, yet she didn't want others to know about their relationship.
Her attention wasn't on the movie. She just stared blankly at Xia Tian beside her, a bit lost.
"What's wrong?" Xia Tian finally noticed Lin Jin's distraction and turned to look at her, asking "Why does it look like you’re not interested in the movie?"
"Ah, nothing." Lin Jin shook her head. "It’s just that the movie just started, the plot's a bit boring."
"I see." Xia Tian nodded his head, then refocused on the movie.
And Lin Jin once again returned her gaze to Xia Tian’s profile.
No matter what, since she had agreed and really did have feelings for Xia Tian, she might as well stop overthinking it.
As long as they were happy together, right?
She lightly smiled to herself. Even though they hadn't been out for that many hours today, she was indeed quite happy.
