After ordering some food delivery at his rental house, Lin Jin gave Braised Pork another bath. Despite warning it just days ago not to wander out and fool around, the little rascal seemed to have forgotten all about that lecture and even dared to eye someone else's cat.
Although this cat was also quite naughty at home, it never messed around outside. But since arriving here, it immediately learned some bad thing. Who knows who it learned it from.
If Braised Pork knew what Lin Jin was thinking, it would’ve been full of disdain. It wasn't dumb. Lin Jin's home in the county town was on the seventh floor, okay? A tiny accident was all it would take to become a dead cat if it If it went out through the window. As for taking the stairs, wouldn’t it be tired to death climbing all those stairs? But here it was just the second floor. A leap through the window and it was outside. Why wouldn't it go out and play?
After bathing Braised Pork, Lin Jin casually snapped a photo of it and shared it on Weibo. Not long after, the food delivery guy was at the door with his order.
Lin Jin was very poor now, so all he ordered was a bowl of noodles, the kind that had nothing but two slices of meat and the noodles.
It was pretty much a clear soup noodle dish.
Luckily, Lin Jin wasn't a big eater. Although the taste was a bit bland, he felt full after finishing the meal.
After eating and lounging in bed on his phone for an hour, Lin Jin got up, wore his shoes, and left his apartment.
When he arrived at the bus stop, Wu Min and Wen Xuan happened to also be walking over.
"I bought the tickets, sci fi blockbuster!" Wen Xuan excitedly approached Lin Jin. "The ticket was 90, don’t forget to transfer it to me via Alipay."
"That expensive?" Lin Jin was taken aback.
Movie tickets used to cost around sixty for a late-night showing, but today's price had shot up.
"It’s IMAX, okay? Plus, it's a noon showing, so of course, it's more expensive" Wen Xuan really didn’t care about the price at all. He leaned against the bus stop sign, hands in his pockets, and then monologued. "After the movie, let's grab some cream puffs. Hey, Lin Jin, do you want to play on the dance machines? You're pretty good at it."
"No way" Lin Jin rolled his eyes. The last time he played was just for a task. There wasn’t any reason to play it now and he didn't particularly enjoy it either.
You would feel exhausted after just playing a few times, why would anyone like it?
"So, we're just watching the movie this time?" Wu Min who was beside Lin Jin chimed in, "Karaoke would mean buying snacks, beers, etc. Lin Jin's wallet can't take that hit."
Finally! Someone's thinking about my wallet!
Lin Jin nodded vigorously in agreement with Wu Min: "I just rented a place. I'm so broke I’m gonna die."
"I had a six yuan bowl of noodles for lunch. The kind that was only noodles and nothing else" Lin Jin continued to act pitiful. "I can't even afford cat food. I had to share my noodles with my cat, it's so hungry its ribs are showing."
"That bad?" Wen Xuan exaggeratedly opened his mouth like he was shocked. But then he quickly changed into a smirk "But why don’t I believe your nonsense?"
"Ok stop the bullsh*t. The bus is here" Wu Min said as he took out some coins from his pocket, giving two to Lin Jin before eagerly waiting for the bus to arrive.
"Hey, where are my coins?"
"Don’t you already have change?" Wu Min disdainfully tossed a coin to Wen Xuan too.
"You knew I had change without asking?"
Lin Jin smiled as he watched the two, finding this atmosphere very comforting.
At least, it was very comforting to Lin Jin.
A group of people boarded the bus. Lin Jin grabbed an unoccupied handrail and lightly rested his head against it while gazing out the bus window.
"This movie's reviews aren't that good" Wen Xuan muttered as he scrolled through his phone with his head lowered. "Amazing special effects but a stupid plot?"
"You didn’t check the reviews before buying the tickets but rather you’re checking now?" Wu Min retorted sarcastically. "Are you an idiot?"
"If I check reviews before buying the tickets, I wouldn’t know which movie to pick."
There weren’t many people on the bus, but all the seats were taken. Though, it wasn’t too farfrom Wanda Plaza, about ten minutes by taxi or twenty by bus.
Thankfully, Lin Jin didn't encounter any harassment on this bus ride, leaving him quite pleased with the bus ride.
The bus stop was a bit of a walk from Wanda Plaza, but when you lift your head, you could see the building with the Wanda Plaza sign ontop. Just walk towards those words and you’ll be OK.
As soon as they approached gate five of Wanda Plaza, Lin Jin's attention was caught by a street vendor.
In a place like this, there was still a street vendor? Didn't security care at all?
Despite there being a lot of foot traffic at gate five, the vendor attracted no customers. Only the the occasional one or two people who would curiously look at the display items, before shaking their heads and leaving.
"I keep getting this familiar feeling" Lin Jin frowned as he looked at the street vendor. He tugged at Wu Min’s sleeve and pointed "Have you seen that person before? He looks really familiar to me."
"Not really?" Wu Min looked at where Lin Jin was pointing. Though he denied it, his heart suddenly jumped as he felt he really might have seen this vendor before.
Wen Xuan was carefree and leading the way. When he noticed the two were distracted by a small street vendor, he impatiently urged, "The movie's about to start and you still plan to go shopping now?"
"No." Lin Jin continued to frown, occasionally glancing at the stall, only to realize the jade combs they were selling was the same type as the one he frequently used.
Although the style was different, something told him his comb had once been from that very stall.
Ah, but what did it matter to him? The comb was just made from some slightly more expensive materials and was of unknown origin, nothing strange about that.
Turning around, Lin Jin noticed that while he had paused to ponder, Wu Min and Wen Xuan had already made their way through gate five, laughing and chatting. He suddenly became anxious and hurried after them.
"Hey! Wait up!"
"You're too slow okay? So dumb." Wu Min watched as Lin Jin ran to their side and impolitely knocked him on the head "If you keep spacing out like that for no reason, what will you do if you got lost?"
"There's always maps, you know. Are you stupid?" Lin Jin shot Wu Min a look as if he were an idiot.
"Yeah, Wu Min, are you dumb? Even without maps, just call a taxi and they’ll take you back to school." Wen Xuan chimed in. "Wu Min, you've been getting dumber lately."
Wu Min was left speechless.
