Chapter 506: – The Ruthless Teacher Lin
After hanging out with Xia Tian, it wasn’t until six o’clock when Lin Jin finally started leisurely making her way home.
She and Xia Tian had dinner outside before coming back. Lin Jin still had enough of a conscience to bring back a portion of seafood noodles for Teacher Lin.
As soon as she stepped inside, she saw Teacher Lin idly curled up on the sofa, doing nothing. The TV was on and the volume was loud, but she wasn’t even watching it. She just sat there playing on her phone.
"You're back?" Teacher Lin raised her head and glanced at Lin Jin, her eyes quickly dropping from Lin Jin’s face to the food she was carrying. Her eyes instantly lit up "Oh! You even brought me food on the way back, that’s great!"
"Seafood noodles." Lin Jin placed the dinner on the coffee table and sat down on the sofa, adding "I got extra shrimp and meat for you. Twenty five yuan, I accept Alipay."
"Tch." Teacher Lin's expression immediately darkened and she quietly muttered "Stingy."
Lin Jin shrugged, not actually pressing her for the money. She casually leaned back against the sofa and glanced around the living room. This quick glance showed that although Teacher Lin had been alone all afternoon, she hadn't messed up the place.
At least the floor was pretty clean.
"I'm going over to Xia Tian's place later to stream. What about you?" Lin Jin asked.
Teacher Lin had already opened up her dinner and was happily eating away. She just raised an eyebrow at Lin Jin's question and then shook her head without hesitation. "Not going! Streaming isn't fun at all, okay?"
"So you're just going to stay at my place?"
"Nope, I'll head back in a bit. One day’s enough. My family will complain if I stay out too long." Teacher Lin looked up and said to Lin Jin with a bitter smile "I'm already twenty seven, but my mom still treats me like a child. Whenever I don't come home for a day, she will call me nonstop, afraid I'll get kidnapped or something."
Lin Jin nodded: "True, looking at you, you do look like you’d be easily kidnapped."
Teacher Lin rolled her eyes and continued eating her seafood noodles.
It was around seven when Teacher Lin finished eating. Standing up, she said somewhat helplessly: "I’m going back now. Any later and I won ‘t be able to get back onto the island."
"Go ahead." Lin Jin was huddled up on the sofa and had no intention of seeing Teacher Lin off.
Teacher Lin didn't care either and turned around to leave.
"Hmm, it’s about time to head over to Xia Tian's."
Just a few minutes after Teacher Lin left, Lin Jin stood up and muttered to herself. She grabbed the shoulder bag she usually carried around and leisurely walked toward Xia Tian’s place.
It was only seven o'clock at the moment and the streets outside were all brightly lit. Looking from the exit of her neighborhood community towards her dad’s shop, she could see several elderly folks sitting together chatting and playing mahjong.
Lin Jin planned to go say hi to her dad and grab two cups of milk tea along the way.
However, she had only walked a few meters out of her neighborhood when everything suddenly went dark. A pair of hands were covering her eyes and someone behind her quickly dragged her into an alley.
Lin Jin's whole body froze, and panic sprouted uncontrollably from inside her.
Am I this f*cking unlucky? It’s only been how long and I’m running into another one?
"Robbery! Assault!" A suppressed voice came from behind. Even though the voice was deepened, it vaguely sounded like a woman's.
Lin Jin shivered and wanted to turn around to see who it was, but a hard object was pressed against her lower back.
It can’t be his...
Lin Jin had a bitter smile. Having experienced this before, she wasn’t as panicked. Even though she was definitely scared inside, but…
But why did the hand covering her eyes feel so soft? So soft as if it was a girl's hand?
And why did that voice sound so familiar? Even though it was deepened, it still felt really familiar.
Lin Jin stood there, dumbfounded. Although the person behind her scolded her several times, Lin Jin just ignored it.
"Uh, Teacher Lin?" she tentatively asked.
"What Teacher Lin?! Strip for me!" The person behind was clearly flustered.
Lin Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see Teacher Lin sheepishly grinning at her. She was holding a wooden stick in her hand, which she had pressed against Lin Jin's lower back, making Lin Jin mistakenly think it was some kind of weapon.
Motherf*cker!
"You're really good at causing trouble." Lin Jin expressionlessly rolled her eyes at Teacher Lin.
"I didn't expect you would be so calm." Teacher Lin laughed and patted Lin Jin on the shoulder. "Not bad, you've got potential!"
"Can you just go away?" Lin Jin rolled her eyes at her.
Teacher Lin's prank this time was a bit too much, right? Before, Teacher Lin’s pranks on her were always out in the open, but this time it was sneaky.
And she had just experienced something similar a while ago. Thankfully, the sky wasn’t too dark now and she also had the stun gun with her, so she didn’t freak out too much. Otherwise, she would’ve been scared dead a long time ago.
"Aiya, sorry~" Teacher Lin stuck out her tongue.
Lin Jin continued to roll her eyes, squatted down on the ground with a somewhat defeated look, and quietly said: "Did you know? Two months ago, I actually did encounter a robbery in this alley…"
"Eh?"
"If it wasn’t because I felt your voice was really a bit off, I really would’ve thought it was a robbery." Lin Jin looked up, let out a sigh, and said "Do you have to cause trouble?"
"Um, then I’ll go home now?"
Teacher Lin looked at Lin Jin with a flattering look and asked: "How about I treat you to some food to calm your nerves?"
Lin Jin gave her a glare: "You scram, go back to wherever you’re from!"
"Hey, Lin Jin, are you really that cold?" Teacher Lin pitifully looked at her "Look how pitiful I am..."
"Quickly go home, you don’t even like streaming! Why are you trying to join in?" Lin Jin impolitely snapped.
"I just wanted to scare you a bit. Why so serious?" Teacher Lin looked all innocent.
Lin Jin lifelessly waved her hand, and Teacher Lin immediately dashed out of the alley with a mischievous grin.
She finally got rid of Teacher Lin clinging to her. Lin Jin only then breathed a sigh of relief. This Teacher Lin really did go overboard when causing trouble.
Luckily, she had experienced it before, so she still stayed relatively calm.
Otherwise, she might have really been tricked by Teacher Lin.
She sighed. Even though she already knew it was just a prank, her heart wouldn't stop pounding and the shock still remained, making her feel a bit down.
Arriving at the door of Xia Tian’s rental room, she gently knocked on it. In just a moment, the door opened.
Xia Tian looked at Lin Jin with a smile but suddenly noticed she seemed to be in a bad mood.
Lin Jin usually always liked to smile, and when she acted indifferent, she was always imitating Xia Tian's look. But now, she was clearly in a really bad mood, her face was extremely dark.
What was up with this?
Xia Tian looked at Lin Jin in confusion, not knowing how to ask.
