Chapter 591: – Cute and dumb
The return of the black cat made Lin Jin really excited, and she somewhat eagerly told it about the events in the past few years.
As expected, the black cat listened just as attentively as before. It cutely tilted its head, and very carefully listened to all of Lin Jin’s complaints and joys.
It had always been a good listener. Even though it used to mock Lin Jin a lot before, that was all in the past. People needed to look forward, right?
After talking to the black cat, Lin Jin suddenly didn’t know what else to say. She hadn’t seen the black cat for several years and she had been feeling down because someone she had been close to had left. Now that they met again, she didn’t know what to say at all.
“Then, I’ll get going now?”
The black cat tilted its head and looked at Lin Jin.
“So soon?”
“I was just here to take a look. Recently, I found a new toy.”
The black cat’s face showed a mischievous grin. When it smiled like that, it was honestly a little creepy.
But Lin Jin only showed a long forgotten smile. She hadn’t seen the black cat like this for a long time and felt a bit nostalgic.
“Little Lin.”
Outside the door, the nanny knocked, then pushed it open. She smiled at Lin Jin and said: “I’ll help clean your bedroom.”
“Mhm.”
Lin Jin smiled and nodded. She glanced at the black cat, which had just been standing like a human on the bed, but found it had already turned back into Braised Pork at some point.
If it were the black cat, its eyes would be more lively and intelligent than a human’s. But Braised Pork wasn’t like that. Although Braised Pork could take care of the child and was full of fatherly love for Lin Jin’s child, it was ultimately just a slightly smarter cat.
The black cat’s possession had ended. Braised Pork looked around in confusion before hurrying over to the crib and gently rocked it with its paws.
Since the nanny was busy cleaning, Lin Jin didn’t want to disturb her. She left the bedroom and headed to the streaming room.
Xia Tian was playing Dota at the moment. Even though their livestream had basically turned into a variety stream rather than a dedicated Dota stream, he still played Dota from time to time to keep their old viewers happy.
“Why are you here? Where’s little Qing?”
Hearing Lin Jin walk in, Xia Tian turned his head to look at his wife. He smiled and reached out to hold her in his arms.
“She’s asleep. Braised Pork is watching her.”
“Let’s take Braised Pork for a check up tomorrow? Just in case there’s something that gets little Qing sick.”
“Okay.”
Lin Jin snuggled into Xia Tian’s arms, comfortably hummed.
If it were a couple of years ago, Lin Jin might have still felt a bit embarrassed from Xia Tian’s behavior. But maybe because the two had been together for so long, she basically didn’t feel shy anymore around Xia Tian.
After all, they were practically an old married couple by now.
“Oh right,
A couple of years ago, she might have found this kind of closeness embarrassing. But maybe because they had been together for so long, she didn’t really feel shy around Xia Tian anymore.
After all, they were practically an old married couple by now.
“Oh yeah, hubby, I’ve been thinking about going back to work.”
“Why do you suddenly want to go work again? No one will take care of little Qing.”
Lin Jin pouted and unhappily shot him a glare, then broke free from his arms and angrily said: “Are you saying that I can only stay home and take care of children?!”
“I’m not!”
Xia Tian immediately denied Lin Jin’s statement. Even if that was really what he was thinking, he wouldn’t dare to say it out loud in front of an angry Lin Jin, okay?
He quickly tried to appease her in a flattering way: “But isn’t little Qing only a few months old? If you’re there, she can’t just drink only formula, right? People say that formula isn’t good for a child’s development. You just bear it a bit longer, how about you go back to work once she’s weaned?”
Lin Jin stared at him. It felt like he had said this excuse to her multiple times before, but she just couldn’t remember when.
Xia Tian sighed in relief. Good thing Lin Jin had the “three year pregnancy brain” debuff. Otherwise, the same excuse wouldn’t have worked on her so many times.
“Fine…”
Lin Jin let out a sigh. She always felt uneasy that she didn’t have an independent source of income. Even though the boss at her old company had said they’ll always have a position for her at the company, but after two or three years, the company would probably have forgotten her long ago.
She sat on a chair beside Xia Tian with a somewhat unhappy look. Lin Jin hadn’t been live streaming much games recently. When she live streamed, it was usually just chatting and dancing. She found that ever since having the child, her so called beginner gaming proficiency seemed to have stopped working and she always felt clueless when playing.
In order to protect her reputation as a skilled player, Lin Jin could only stick to live streaming her dancing and singing all day. It also helped her to lose weight.
“I know what you’re worried about.”
“Ah?”
Hearing Xia Tian’s sudden words, Lin Jin looked up in slight confusion.
“Aren’t you just worried that with no income, your status at home will drop?” Xia Tian shrugged and gently smiled “But you didn’t think, those women with no income who get looked down on at home, isn’t it just because their husbands don’t love them enough?”
“Uh… that makes sense.”
“Now think again, am I that kind of guy?”
“Not right now, but who knows in the future.”
Lin Jin very honestly nodded.
Xia Tian was speechless for a moment because of Lin Jin’s statement, but then still bitterly chuckled: “We’ve been together for so long, yet sometimes my status at home isn’t even as good as Braised Pork’s.”
“That’s because you bully him!”
“That was him scratching me!”
Besides, Braised Pork might be the only connection to the black cat, how could Lin Jin not be a bit biased?
Lin Jin pretended not to have heard anything and changed the subject:” Hey, you’re getting ganked! Run!”
Only then did Xia Tian realize his character had been surrounded by enemies. He immediately did some actions, but died without any suspense.
“Speaking of which, next month is Wu Min’s wedding.”
Lin Jin rested her chin on her hands and quietly muttered: “It’s only been a few years since graduation, and there’s only one person left in my dorm who isn’t married.”
“That Wen Xuan? He’s too skinny, it’ll be hard to find a girlfriend.”
“No, apparently he said he just hasn’t met any girl he’s compatible with.”
Lin Jin suddenly laughed: “That guy plays games all day and ignores all his girlfriends. So they all broke up.”
“What about your other classmates? Like that Chen Hao you mentioned before?”
“Oh him, he’s still at odds with his family. His girlfriend is his male cousin.”
Xia Tian was stunned for a moment.
“Those two people even ran to Beijing to escape, afraid their parents would find them. I almost laughed to death when we chatted online before, they’re just asking for trouble.”
“Oh right, Teacher Lin’s wedding is coming up too, right? My memory hasn’t been good lately…”
“Right. She even gave you an invitation when you guys were playing mahjong last time, where’d you put it?”
“I… I forgot…”
Lin Jin immediately jumped up and rushed to the bedroom to search for it.
Xia Tian had a smile as he watched Lin Jin dash off. He helplessly shrugged, and joked to the live stream viewers:
“What do you guys mean goddess Lin Jin or something, are you blind? Clearly she’s just cute and dumb…”
