Chapter 512: – Night
The last night before the official start of school.
In the evening, Wu Min sent a message saying he had helped pick up the books and left them in the dorm. The class group chat had also posted the schedule already, classes start on Monday tomorrow at ten o’clock.
Arriving at Xia Tian’s place, Lin Jin lifelessly laid down on the bed.
"What's wrong?" Xia Tian sat at the edge of the bed, turning his head to look at Lin Jin. "Isn’t it just going to school? Just one more year and it’ll be easy."
"Sigh, it's just that I’ve been on break for too long, I’m not used to it yet." Lin Jin rolled around on the bed, rolling up next to Xia TIan’s butt. Lying down on the bed beside him, she looked up "Just thinking about going back to school makes me feel uncomfortable~"
"It's okay. Even when school starts, you can still come over and hang out at night." Xia Tian reached out his hand and pinched Lin Jin's cheek. Although he was trying to comfort her, his expression was still as cold as an iceberg. "Do you have a lot of classes this semester?"
"About the same as last semester. But there’s fewer morning classes, so it’s okay I guess." Lin Jin rolled over again, lying on her stomach and propping her chin on the pillow, looking just like a lazy salted fish.
"I’ll go stream first?" Xia Tian lowered his head and looked down at Lin Jin's back.
"Go ahead."
Lin Jin's mood these days was always all over the place. One second she would be happily laughing and the next second, she would suddenly stop smiling and burst into tears. It wasn’t sure where these random emotions were coming from. Anyway, any little thing that didn't go her way would abruptly worsen her mood.
Right now, her mood was at a somewhat bad level. Otherwise, when Xia Tian moved his hands or feet, she would definitely have just playfully scolded him instead of just showing an indifferent, expressionless face.
Xia Tian started the livestream. Ever since meeting Lin Jin, this once taciturn guy had not only become more expressive, but he now also had a lot more topics to talk about when chatting. He was especially chatty during the live stream. While he might not be as good as those big streamers at hyping up the viewers, being able to pull in a hundred thousand viewers meant he must be doing something right.
Lin Jin laid on the bed, listening to Xia Tian babbling nonstop. She sighed irritably and pulled the quilt over her head.
Actually, the main reason for her bad mood wasn't about going back to school. Although she was a bit sick of school, it was still okay for now. After all, most of her classes now were core computer major courses. She wasn't good at culture and language courses, but she was still pretty good at the core courses for her major.
Even so, she still didn’t want to go to class.
She poked her head out from under the quilt and sneaked a peek at Xia Tian.
After chatting for over ten minutes for the start of the stream, Xia Tian had started gaming on stream. The streaming platform was holding an event recently and he needed to team up with four other Dota streamers to play five man ranked matches and defeat the viewers who tried to stream snipe them. The Viewers who managed to match up with them seem to get some rewards, and if they beat them, they would get even more. If Xia Tian's team of five got five or ten wins in a row, they would also get rewards from the streaming platform.
At this moment, Xia Tian was really grinding for the platform's rewards and was happily chatting with his four streamer teammates.
Several big shots in the Dota streaming section were retired pro players. These big shots didn’t participate in this event so Xia Tian was currently just teaming up with a few high ranked streamers on the server. In terms of popularity, Xia Tian alone was equal to the other four combined.
Lin Jin wasn't interested in this at all, but Xia Tian had a helpless look on his face as he saw the chat going crazy, asking for Lin Jin to play.
"Lin Jin, they're saying they want you to come and play." Xia Tian turned his head to look at Lin Jin who was being a salted fish on the bed.
"Don't want to play, not interested." Lin Jin rolled over again and closed her eyes, feeling a bit tired. "Keep it down while you're playing, I'm feeling sleepy."
"Okay."
Lin Jin laid on the bed, drowsily listening to the sounds of Xia Tian gaming. Maybe her sleepiness wasn't that strong yet, she just felt like her eyes were a bit hard to keep open, but her mind was still quite active.
She felt herself falling into a light sleep but she could still hear Xia Tian's voice, drowsily turning over on the bed from time to time.
She didn't know how much time had passed. Anyway, from Lin Jin’s feeling, it was probably only about half an hour later when she was woken up by Xia Tian gently shaking her shoulder.
"What?" Lin Jin lazily opened her eyes and stretched on the bed.
"I'm done streaming." Xia Tian sat at the edge of the bed, looking at the still dazed Lin Jin, and said with a smile, "You move over a bit, I'm going to sleep too."
"Going to sleep?" Lin Jin had long forgotten what she had said earlier that afternoon. She rolled over again, moving her body to the innermost position and leaned sideways against the wall. Then she became drowsy again.
So sleepy.
"Are you getting up to brush your teeth and wash your face?" Xia Tian put his legs up and leaned against the head of the bed, looking at Lin Jin’s lazy, cat like appearance.
Lin Jin lay flat again, twisting her body and sinking herself into the quilt. She then opened her eyes again and looked at Xia Tian.
"I'm hungry..."
"I’ll buy you some late night snacks? What do you want." Xia Tian yawned. "I have to get up at eight tomorrow, work at nine. Remember to set an alarm yourself, don't be late."
"Oh."
Lin Jin responded absentmindedly.
Xia Tian also didn't know what this response of Lin Jin’s meant. He scratched his head, and then stood up, planning to go see what he can get for her.
"Where are you going?"
Lin Jin used an elbow to prop up half her body and tilted her head as she looked at Xia Tian, who was getting ready to leave.
"Buying you some late night snacks."
Lin Jin dazedly thought about it. It seemed she did mention wanting to eat something.
But wasn't she just half awake and still in a daze when she said that?
"Do you still want to eat now?" Xia Tian sat back down on the bed, looking helpless. "It's already past eleven. If you don't decide soon, we'll have to order delivery."
"Um, then forget it." Lin Jin looked at Xia Tian while lying on her side, but suddenly remembered what they had said at noon.
"Didn't you say you'd sleep on the floor tonight? Get off!" Lin Jin lifted her foot and kicked at Xia Tian's stomach.
However, Xia Tian didn’t get kicked off. Instead, her foot was grabbed by the ankle.
"But we don't have extra bedding here, and sleeping on the floor isn't clean. The floor hasn't been mopped for several days, right?" Xia Tian looked down and looked at the ankle he was holding, smiling but not letting go. "And my health isn’t good, it’s very easy for me to get a cold or fever."
Although it did make sense, but could you please let go of my foot first?
Lin Jin glared at him.
Xia Tian stroked Lin Jin's foot, only then did he finally let go. He then directly laid down beside her and turned off the light without another word.
"You’re not allowed to mess around."
Lin Jin was still in a half awake state after just waking up. She didn't think too much, turned her body toward the wall and faced her back to Xia Tian.
Then she felt a hand placed on her waist...
