Lin Jin had a very bad impression of Feng Jing, a really bad one. Anyway, he was now focused on getting revenge on Feng Jing. This b*tch actually spread rumors about him in class, goddamn it.
As a result, almost half of the class had been influenced by Feng Jing's rumors. Though it's impossible for college students to be naive enough to believe Feng Jing right away, it was still a good topic for gossip. So Lin Jin could occasionally hear a few girls discussing why he looked so beautiful, or if it was really like what Feng Jing said, etc. Even some boys began to discuss Lin Jin.
Anyway, Lin Jin was so angry that he almost became ill. He lay on the desk, sulking.
After the two-hour morning class, Lin Jin went to the cafeteria to have lunch with Wu Min and Wen Xuan, then returned to the dormitory. Feeling somewhat depressed, he didn't have much appetite and left half of his meal untouched, having only ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish.
"Feng Jing has already agreed to meet me on the playground after school this afternoon" Wu Min said, sitting at his desk, looking at the dejected Lin Jin lying on his desk. "I will definitely help you clear things up."
"It feels like it's no use now..." Lin Jin sighed, "Now half the class thinks that I'm either a girl or transgendered"
"They can't possibly believe it" Wu Min said, tilting his head to look at Lin Jin. "At most, they'll take it as a joke and talk about it for a few days, just like the maid incident before. They'll forget about it after a while."
"But they'll think of it whenever they see me." Lin Jin sighed, looking completely disheartened, "Half the class knows... Feng Jing, this guy, if you really get together with her, who knows what she'll do to you."
"Anyway, I'm never going to be with her. I used to think she had a nice personality, but it turns out she's petty" Wu Min shrugged. Now he and Lin Jin were allies in hatred, so he put all the blame on Feng Jing, "Luckily I didn't agree to her. Otherwise, even chatting with other girls might be seen as cheating."
"Exactly." Lin Jin nodded in agreement, as long as Wu Min absolutely refused Feng Jing's pursuit, his task should be considered complete, "From now on, no matter how she chases you, you must refuse. Throw away everything she gives you, glare at her when you see her, curse her when you talk to her!"
"Isn't that a bit too much?" Wu Min's mouth twitched as he looked at Lin Jin, suddenly feeling that Feng Jing was indeed good at stirring up trouble, but Lin Jin seemed no less capable.
"That's the way it is! I want revenge!" Lin Jin viciously tore a piece of paper into pieces, looking at it as if it were Feng Jing herself.
Damn it, if he doesn't get his revenge, he's not a gentleman! Regardless of the task, he was simply extremely dissatisfied with Feng Jing's despicable tactics.
"By the way, Feng Jing is also participating in the New Year's Eve gala." Wu Min tilted his head to look at Lin Jin, "She joined a choir and seems to be the conductor."
"What?" Lin Jin turned his head in disbelief, "Last time the counselor asked us to sign up, wasn't it just me and Chen Xinya?"
"She signed up directly through a club" Wu Min shrugged. "It's pretty good actually. If your performance is better than hers, she'll be furious."
"What's there to be angry about?" Lin Jin rested his cheek on one hand, thinking about whether he should play a prank on Feng Jing during the New Year's Eve gala, such as secretly sabotaging her performance costume or something.
"The first-place program gets a three hundred yuan reward" Wu Min, who despite not participating in the program, knew quite a bit about the New Year's Eve gala. "They say it's to motivate the performers. The show will be recorded and uploaded to Youku, and whoever gets the most likes will be first."
"There's such a thing?" Lin Jin was taken aback. He wasn't too concerned about the three hundred yuan since the New Year's Eve gala task already had a base reward of one thousand yuan. What mattered was the title of being first, which would certainly boost his reputation in the school. Wasn't the linked task's requirement for him to perform and become famous within the school?
"You didn't know?"
"I think I've heard about it."
Lin Jin's face crinkled in thought as he tried to recall the details, but he could only remember hearing about it. If it hadn't been for Wu Min mentioning it today, he might only have found out from others when it was time to perform.
Now it was already Wednesday, and only four days remained until the New Year's Eve gala. The event would be held at eight o'clock on the weekend, but there would be a dress rehearsal on Saturday. It seemed that performers needed to go on stage but didn't need to wear their costumes.
Lin Jin didn't have a specific performance costume in mind. He planned to wear the women's clothing that Chen Xinya gave him.
"Lin Jin, when are you going on stage?" Wen Xuan turned his chair to ask Lin Jin's back, "Give us a time, so we can run down to watch when you're on."
"Can't you watch from beginning to end?"
"You don't even consider the theme of the New Year's Eve gala." Wen Xuan disdainfully curled his lip. "A 'Long March' themed gala holds no interest for me. Change it to something youthful, and I might be interested."
"Speaking of which, Lin Jin, your song has an advantage" Wu Min said, coming over as soon as he heard Wen Xuan's words. "Your song isn't a red song or anything, so it should interest many young people. Even if it's not sung well, it could leave an impression. You're the only one not performing a red song at the whole New Year's Eve gala, right?"
"It seems so? Most of them are red songs, dances, or poetry recitals."
Lin Jin hesitated and then nodded. Although he wasn't present for the entire audition last time, he had encountered other groups while training, and he had only heard red songs.
"Poetry recitals are the most boring." Wen Xuan glanced at the balcony and noticed the gloomy weather. "Looks like rain, the clouds are so thick."
"Will the New Year's Eve gala still happen if it rains?" Wu Min frowned slightly, walked to the balcony, and reached out. "There's a drizzle. It shouldn't last until the weekend."
"Who cares? We have to perform even if it rains, right?" Lin Jin seemed nonchalant, more concerned about Wu Min's situation. "You'll have to explain things to Feng Jing even if it rains. If necessary, I'll pay for you to talk it over at a restaurant or something."
"You're being so good to me?" Wu Min looked surprised, standing on the balcony.
"It's simply to clear my own name, okay?" Lin Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll be there too, watching from the sidelines as you two decide on a place."
"You're nuts."
"I want to see if you'll actually slap her." Lin Jin looked up and glared at Wu Min. "You won't have the heart to lay a hand on a girl, especially one who's pursuing you."
"Beating a woman isn't right."
"It's not my concern, I'm not the one hitting her."
