Chapter 508: – Panic
No matter how much Lin Jin tried to get Xia Tian to wear women's clothes, he refused to put on that extremely shameful outfit again.
But, in Lin Jin’s opinion, Xia Tian's women’s clothing was already very conservative, right? Even in the middle of summer, he was still wearing long sleeves and thick stockings, how could it get any more conservative? You know, Lin Jin now usually wore hot pants or shorts. As for skirts, although she still liked them, she didn’t wear them that often.
Helpless, Lin Jin had no choice but to toss the editing task to Xia Tian. She then laid on his bed and went on her phone, considering it a punishment for him.
Today was also Sunday. Ever since being frightened by Teacher Lin last week, Lin Jin didn’t let her come over to her house again. Lin Jin refused even when Teacher Lin just wanted to come hang out. After all, she didn't want to be scared by the troublemaking Teacher Lin a second time and didn't want a huge third wheel around when she was with Xia Tian.
Because of Xia Tian's job, Lin Jin could only see him every morning and evening. If he woke up late in the morning, sometimes she would be left alone with two portions of breakfast, quietly eating before going back to bed.
Today was a weekend again and she could finally spend the whole day with Xia Tian again. However, even though they had already been together for a week, they had only held hands at most. Not to mention anything else, they hadn't even kissed yet.
It wasn't that Lin Jin couldn't accept it, it was just that Xia Tian hadn’t brought it up before, yeah.
Xia Tian hadn't helped Lin Jin with editing work for a long time, but luckily he had all the necessary resources on his computer. Plus, he had drawn quite a few drawings of Lin Jin recently, as well as some anime style images of the two of them together. For the video of the two of them dancing together this time, Lin Jin planned to use a drawing Xia Tian had just drawn a couple of days ago in his spare time.
The drawing showed Xia Tian and Lin Jin sitting together in front of a computer, with Xia Tian cuddling Lin Jin very intimately.
The background wasn't finished yet, but due to a lack of time, Lin Jin decided to just use the unfinished drawing as the cover and quickly upload the video.
"I'm done." Xia Tian suddenly looked up and said to Lin Jin, who was lying on the bed like a salted fish.
"Already?"
"Yeah, there’s a template so it’s very simple." Xia Tian nodded, stood up from the computer, sat at the head of the bed, and looked down at Lin Jin who was playing on her phone.
Lin Jin put down her phone and looked at his face.
"Little boy, you’re quite handsome!" She reached her hand out, hooked his chin with her fingertip, and teased with a grin, "So, do you have a girlfriend?"
"I do. She's really pretty, a perfect match with me." Xia Tian was amused by her antics.
Lin Jin burst out laughter, sat up, knelt on the bed, and tilted her head to seriously look at Xia Tian, who was currently smiling.
"Seriously, you should smile more." Lin Jin earnestly said. "I don't care what happened before that made you into an iceberg. But now that you’re with me, you have to smile more. Otherwise, it's really stressful being with you."
Facing someone who rarely smiled and was always expressionless would make anyone feel a lot of pressure.
"Okay, I’ll just smile for you."
Xia Tian nodded seriously.
"Ew, that's so cringy, okay?" Lin Jin scrunched up her face and dramatically rubbed her arms with a fake look of disgust.
Even though today was Xia Tian's rare day off, Lin Jin didn't plan on going out.
Except for Wanda, there was basically nothing else to do nearby. There was a water park, but it would take at least an hour by bus, whereas taxis were too expensive.
Lin Jin, as a lazy salted fish, never liked going anywhere that was far. Mainly because she was lazy.
"We’re not going out to play today?" She laid back down on the bed again. She propped her head up with one hand and said to Xia Tian "We can just play games, draw, or whatever. How’s that?"
"I’m fine with that."
Xia Tian was quite a homebody himself.Then suddenly, Lin Jin heard a lot of noise from the hallway. She frowned and looked outside, hating noisy environments.
"Is it always this loud here?"
Although she had lived here before for a while, and her room was right next to the stairs, it hadn't been this noisy, probably because most residents were students attending school.
"It's okay, maybe noisy once every three to five days." Xia Tian listened for a moment and said, "Probably someone renting by the hour."
These rental rooms here usually offered not just monthly rentals, but also daily and hourly rentals. Income was income.
Then, the people in the hallway entered the room next to Xia Tian's. Moments later, muffled conversations between a man and a woman could be heard.
The rooms were simply partitioned, so the soundproofing was very bad. Even though Lin Jin knew the people next door weren't speaking very loudly, their voices still came through clearly.
"If it’s too much, how about you just stay at my place?" Lin Jin lowered her voice, afraid the couple next door might hear her, and said "It's pretty quiet at my place. It’s just that all the kids are off school right now, so you can hear them playing outside in the afternoon."
"It's fine, I'm used to it." Xia Tian smiled and shook his head.
A bit later, the sound of a shower came from next door, followed by the rhythmic shaking of a bed hitting the wall.
Lin Jin suddenly realized what was happening and her face flushed a little red, but she still pretended to be nonchalant and said "They're so noisy."
"Yeah." Xia Tian nodded, lowered his and fiddled with something.
Lin Jin was always a bit shy, but the couple next door clearly wasn't. As the bed continued to thump against the wall, the man murmured something and the woman's voice became louder and louder.
Xia Tian couldn't take it anymore and gave a loud cough.
The sounds next door suddenly stopped and the woman asked in a low voice: "I think someone's next door."
"Ignore it."Xia Tian helplessly sighed and shrugged at Lin Jin.
The couple next door continued acting unabashedly, but Lin Jin had already pulled the quilt over her head, feeling she couldn't stay any longer.
"How about we go out for something to eat?" Lin Jin suggested from under the quilt.
"Okay."
Lin Jin quickly jumped out of bed, slipped on her shoes, and hurried out of the room.
She didn’t know why, but while the noise from next door was loud inside the room, she found it wasn’t actually that loud when she went outside. At least, it was barely audible in the hallway.
Xia Tian followed her out, turning to lock the door behind him.
Lin Jin clasped her hands behind her back and yawned a little.
"Lin Jin."
"Hmm?"
She looked up at Xia Tian in confusion.
Only to see a big head suddenly appear right in front of her. Then, Lin Jin’s mind went blank, and she instinctively wanted to push it away.
"Mm! Mm! Mm!"
Lin Jin, unable to resist, was pressed against the wall. She closed her eyes in panic and her heart raced wildly.
