It seemed that the Lin Chen task was doomed to fail.
Lin Chen had completely taken Lin Jin's requests as a joke, but it wasn't hard to understand. After all, Lin Jin had been bullying Lin Chen since they were kids, though not in an overly cruel way. He did it simply to assert his role as the older brother.
Moreover, while Lin Jin bullied Lin Chen, he also took very good care of him. Lin Chen's personality was completely opposite to Lin Jin's when they were kids. Lin Jin was extremely outgoing, whereas Lin Chen was so introverted that he hardly had any friends. If Lin Chen got bullied, Lin Jin would run over, cursing and swearing, to help "avenge" him. And when their parents were not at home, Lin Jin was usually the one cooking.
Even though Lin Jin could only manage basic dishes like scrambled eggs and stir-fried vegetables, that was quite impressive to Lin Chen during their elementary school days.
A bit distressed, but the punishment for failing this task wasn't unacceptable, so Lin Jin didn't mind too much. Besides, the task was related to art, which was pretty good since his courses included sketching and coloring.
It was a headache.
Lin Jin wiped his fingers with a tissue, tidied up the plastic bag, and looked up at Lin Chen, who had already finished his meat bun. "Are you full?"
"Yeah."
Long Lihao, that pervert, had already left a while ago. He'd only come over to chat a few sentences with Lin Jin, not intending to stick around. After all, he had to go find his 'girlfriend'.
Damn it, why could Long Lihao attract so many girls? And he hardly even attended classes, right?
It felt so unfair.
"Full. Shall we go back?" Lin Chen was playing with the iPhone 7 that Lin Jin had given him yesterday, clearly infatuated with it.
"Do you have any places you'd like to visit?" Lin Jin normally enjoyed shopping, but his dorm had two homebodies, making shopping alone quite boring. Hence, he was beating around the bush to probe Lin Chen, "How about we go shopping? You're leaving in the afternoon, so why not walk around a bit?"
"Sure, sounds good." Lin Chen nodded, and as he saw Lin Jin stand up, he also stood and followed him out.
Lin Jin didn't plan to take Lin Chen too far, just guiding him out the back gate and walking forward.
There was practically nothing near the school's back gate. Though there were some small clinics and stores, there were virtually no entertainment venues. The most you could add was a billiards hall about 300 meters away from the school.
Not even a single f*cking internet cafe! Back when they started school and a typhoon hit, causing a campus-wide power and water outage, they'd wanted to go find an internet cafe to charge their phones and kill some time. Turns out, there were no internet cafes within miles of the school! The closest one was near Wanda Plaza.
"Little bro, are you planning to come to Xiamen for college?" Lin Jin's hands were in his pockets as they aimlessly walked forward. There was actually nothing much to see on this street, but Lin Jin wanted to leave Lin Chen with some memories of the place. "Xiamen has quite a few good schools, I think. Like, their Polytechnic Institute is a pretty good one."
Lin Jin didn't actually have much of an idea about how good or bad schools were, he only knew that he was attending Xiamen Institute of Software Technology, which was an affiliate of the Polytechnic Institute.
"We'll see. I also want to study in Xiamen" Lin Chen seemed to know more about the quality of universities than Lin Jin, and he casually said, "The best university in Xiamen is Xiamen University, right? As for the Polytechnic, I think it's a Tier 2 university."
"Really?" Lin Jin glanced at a small alley next to them, which had a sign pointing to the Polytechnic Institute at its entrance. "Want to visit the Polytechnic?"
"Sure" Lin Chen nodded, walking slowly alongside Lin Jin. For some reason, he felt like they were a couple out shopping. His brother was dressed in regular men's clothing today, and while his face still had some feminine features, he was clearly male. "How about I try to get into Xiamen University? I should be able to get in, It's a 985 University, but I should be able to get in."
Although Lin Chen had good grades, top-tier schools like Tsinghua and Peking University were still a bit out of reach. However, apart from those two, getting into any other 211 or 985 university should not be a problem with his current grades.
That was Lin Jin's opinion, anyway.
As they walked and browsed, Lin Jin was snacking along the way.
Lin Jin usually ate quite sparingly, but he never held back on snacks. Thanks to his metabolism, he never seemed to gain weight no matter what he ate. Even though he had been quite lazy lately, always in his dorm playing on his computer and munching on snacks, with the school's meals mostly being greasy, he still couldn't put on any weight!
He might have gained a little recently due to his pet black cat, mainly some extra meat on his butt and thighs, but everywhere else looked more or less the same as before, especially his stomach, which had virtually no extra fat!
Spotting a pharmacy on the side of the road, Lin Jin's eyes lit up. He immediately grabbed Lin Chen's hand, ready to go in and check their weights.
"Little bro, you're probably around 75 to 80 kg now, right?" Lin Jin said to Lin Chen with a tone of pride. "Last time I weighed myself at home, I wasn't even 50 kg!"
"But isn't 50 kg too thin for a man?" Lin Chen looked at Lin Jin's face, puzzled.
And judging by your physique, you probably weigh at least 55 kg now.
Although he didn't say it out loud, Lin Chen obediently followed Lin Jin into the pharmacy, walked up to the scale, and then glanced at Lin Jin, who was eagerly watching him.
Is my brother trying to compare our weights just to put me down?
Lin Chen's mouth twitched. Why did he feel like his brother was getting more and more childish?
Stepping on the scale, it came as no surprise that Lin Chen weighed 80 kg. Considering his height and build, 80 kg was just perfect for him.
"You're almost as heavy as two of me" Lin Jin said, nudging Lin Chen off the scale. With a lollipop still in his mouth, he stepped onto the scale, only to become confused and question life.
...
"Why am I suddenly 60 kg?" Lin Jin had thought that even after the black cat transformed his body, he'd weigh at most 55 kg, a weight that would be considered slightly thin for his height.
Turns out he's f*cking 60 kg?
"It’s fine. You don't look that heavy" Lin Chen scratched his head. He hadn't felt that Lin Jin was particularly heavy when he carried him the day before.
"Diet!" Lin Jin gritted his teeth, biting the lollipop into pieces. "I'm only 165 cm tall and I weigh 60 kg! Other people at 165 cm are usually under 50 kg!"
Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, then reminded him, "But those who weigh less than 50 kg are usually girls, right?"
"I don't care! Diet! Running! Exercise!"
Just as Lin Jin made up his mind, he reached into his pocket for another lollipop to continue snacking. However, he noticed his phone began to vibrate. It seemed like the black cat also wanted to join the fun, likely prompted by Lin Jin's newfound resolution.
