Lin Jin was quite interested in shopping, but although he was still considered wealthy, having earned ten thousand yuan from a New Year's Eve party, plus the additional thousand from his mother, he was still reluctant to spend his money on shopping.
"Lin Jin, want something to eat?" Teacher Lin, glancing around in a handbag store and not seeming to find anything she liked, changed her mind and said to Lin Jin, "This morning, I even skipped breakfast to pick you up, I'm starving."
"What do you want to eat?"
So, she just wants me to treat her, huh? Does she need to beat around the bush?
"Ice cream, maybe. The McFlurry is quite good, they have it on the third floor," Teacher Lin replied without hesitation.
Ice cream in winter?
Lin Jin felt a chill and zipped his jacket all the way up, shrinking his neck and putting his hands in his pockets, which made him feel much warmer.
This newly bought jacket was also black, but shorter at the hem, barely covering half of his buttocks when pulled down. If this jacket had a hood, it would probably be considered a hoodie.
It's a bit awkward having half of my buttocks exposed.
Although he couldn't see it himself, and generally, tops only cover half of the buttocks, the problem was that Lin Jin's pants were too tight. His buttocks were tightly squeezed, giving him the feeling that he wasn’t wearing clothes.
"Want some grass jelly?" Teacher Lin initially wanted ice cream, but as soon as they reached the second floor, she suddenly spotted a dessert shop and immediately switched her target, "This place has really good grass jelly."
Lin Jin followed Teacher Lin's gaze and saw it was the same dessert shop where he first met Feng Jing.
I hope I don't run into Feng Jing again.
To be honest, Lin Jin had no appetite at that moment. Wearing makeup and embarrassingly tight pants, he was more focused on completing his task than wandering around the streets eating. However, walking around the streets also presented opportunities to accomplish his mission.
Lin Jin sat opposite Teacher Lin at a window seat, disinterestedly ordered two bowls of grass jelly, and then rested his chin on his hands, gazing out of the window.
Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation on his back. Startled, he turned around and saw a fat man walking towards him in the mall corridor outside the transparent glass. The man's gaze was fixated on Lin Jin's straight back and rear. However, as Lin Jin turned, the fat man quickly lowered his head, pretending to be engrossed in his phone.
Ugh, creepy!
F*ck! As a man, I'm being ogled at my butt by another man!
And it's a man so fat he doesn't even have a neck!
Lin Jin pretended not to notice and turned his head away. He wasn't sure if the fat man continued to stare at him, or if it was just psychological, but he kept feeling an uncomfortable burning sensation on his back.
So this is what it feels like to be stared at by a man?
"What's wrong?" Teacher Lin, holding the freshly served grass jelly dessert, ate a spoonful and asked, "You seem uncomfortable?"
"It's nothing." Lin Jin forced a strained smile, and uneasily took a bite of his dessert.
Then, he suddenly heard a clanging noise followed by a painful groan.
Before he could turn around to see what happened, his phone on the table violently vibrated before going stillness.
Did that fat man bump into something?
Turning his head, Lin Jin saw that about five meters outside the dessert shop, a young man, who looked like a college student in his twenties, had knocked over a metal trash can and was now sitting on the ground, continuously rubbing his knee.
It turned out it wasn't the fat man.
"Why did that person bump into the trash can?" Teacher Lin tilted her head, watching the person outside who after realizing his embarrassment, quickly got up with a reddened face and hurried away.
"Who knows."
Of course, Lin Jin wouldn't say that the person bumped into the trash can because he was staring at him for too long.
So, does that mean the task already got two people? But it's been half an hour since he bought women's clothes and did his makeup, and only one person has been completed in that time. Does that mean it would take another four hours to complete the remaining eight people?
Lin Jin glanced at the time, frowning slightly in dissatisfaction. In four hours, it would be well past one or two o'clock, and by then, his brother would probably have called him already.
"Why do you seem unhappy?" Teacher Lin, sitting with one leg over the other. She was not in her usual sportswear today but a small suit, looking mature and pretty. She yawned and said to Lin Jin, "I'm a bit sleepy. Shall we go back?"
Lin Jin was startled. Why was this teacher so whimsical, changing her mind so quickly?
"I got up too early this morning, usually I don't have classes in the morning." She took another bite of the grass jelly, then laid her head on the table. "Are you going back with me, or do you want to continue shopping?"
"I'll shop a bit more."
He had to at least complete the task this morning, as he wouldn't have time in the afternoon.
"Then I'll head back after I finish eating?" She took out a bottle of makeup remover from her bag and handed it to Lin Jin. "It's cleaner to use this for removing makeup. Makeup can be bad for the skin."
"Okay, thanks." Lin Jin took the makeup remover, saw Teacher Lin quickly finish the remaining half bowl of grass jelly before leaving.
Rushing off like that, she's probably going on a date, isn't she?
Lin Jin maliciously imagined Teacher Lin's date, picturing someone short, hunchbacked, with a twisted face, the kind of unsightly person that could scare someone to death.
As soon as Teacher Lin left, Lin Jin was about to comfortably finish his grass jelly dessert and then plan how to complete his task, but his phone suddenly rang.
Answering the call, he was surprised to find it was from Wu Min.
"Lin Jin? We're planning to go watch a movie. Where are you now?" Wu Min spoke rapidly from the other end. "Your brother is here with us, right? As hosts, we can't just let him stay indoors playing computer games all day, can we? So, we're taking him out for a movie and maybe grab a meal or something."
"???" Lin Jin tilted his head, looking completely baffled.
"We're waiting for a car now, to Wanda Plaza. Where are you? I've already bought your ticket."
"Hey!" Lin Jin, quite displeased, questioned, "I never said I was going to watch a movie. Why did you buy me a ticket?"
"We've got tickets for noon. We're planning to have a good meal first, of course, you're coming along, right, Wen Xuan?" Wu Min laughed and joked on the other side, with Wen Xuan chiming in, "Exactly, you're the pillar of our dorm, aren't you?"
Since when did I become the pillar?
Lin Jin's mouth twitched, and without hesitation, he stood up, grabbed his coat and bag, and headed towards the door.
It would take at most half an hour, including waiting for and traveling by car. He needed to quickly complete the task and then change out of his current clothes in the restroom. Even if his brother saw him in women's clothing, it had to be something more androgynous, not the outfit he was wearing now!
The thought of his brother possibly seeing him in his current state gave Lin Jin an almost apocalyptic feeling of dread.
Please, heaven help me! Let me complete the task within half an hour!
