Chapter 483: – Go Back With
Xia Tian was soone who was very bad at expressing himself.
Lin Jin had t plenty of people like that, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But when this guy Xia Tian said romantic words, it was truly nauseating. Then add his perpetually iceberg looking face, and it beca even more cringe.
Lin Jin even suspected that if Xia Tian were a murderer, he would definitely be the type to expressionlessly chat with you while also expressively stabbing you…
It was scary even thinking about it! So Lin Jin would never want to be with soone who kept a straight face every day and showed no emotion. Otherwise, if she accidentally made Xia Tian angry in the future and he expressionlessly endured it, once he reached his limit, it might lead to a huge outburst.
Besides, being around soone with an iceberg like face for a long ti really wasn't suitable. Otherwise, she would also turn into an iceberg faced person.
Xia Tian ca back with breakfast, the classic combination of soy milk and fried dough sticks. Maybe because the hotel was next to a comrcial street, all sorts of breakfast items from around the country were gathered. So Xia Tian also brought back a bowl of hulatang.
However, the taste of that hulatang was really hard to handle. It was too spicy and the taste didn’t suit Lin Jin’s Fujian palate.
"How is it?" Xia Tian sat by the table in the room, glancing at Lin Jin who was also sitting there. "Does the breakfast here suit your taste?"
"The hulatang’s not that good." After Lin Jin expressionlessly took a sip of the hulatang, she pushed it before Xia Tian and then focused on eating her soy milk and dough stick set.
The breakfast ended quickly. Although Xia Tian still looked sleepy from staying up late and getting up early, he didn't show any signs of fatigue. Instead, he enthusiastically suggested to Lin Jin: "Want to go stroll around the comrcial street?"
"Too lazy to."
"Then do you want to co with and find sothing tasty?" Xia Tian turned his head to look at Lin Jin and said, "I saw an online show that specializes in reviewing Guangdong food. Want to go check it out with ?"
"Hmm?"
Lin Jin was finally interested.
"It’s called Pinchengji. They have lots of food videos and so of the reviewed restaurants are just nearby." A smile slowly appeared on Xia Tian's face, just that his smile was still a bit stiff "If you want to go, I'll take you around."
"Okay then!"
Lin Jin was a foodie. Although she wasn't the type who could eat a lot, she had zero resistance to delicious food.
There were also so really tasty foods near her school in Xian, but after having them as lunch for a long ti, she lost interest. So now, she was quite interested in trying new delicacies.
Especially Guangdong's. It was said that there were tons of delicious things here.
"Then the first stop is Yangshan!"
They left the hotel and took a half hour bus ride before finally arriving at the restaurant Xia Tian was talking about.
From the outside, it looked like a pretty big place. Although it wasn't luxurious, the environnt was acceptable. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, about half the tables were occupied. After the two walked in, the receptionist enthusiastically greeted them, led them to a table, and then handed them the nu.
Since Xia Tian had watched the review video of this place, he was very familiar when ordering. He only picked the recomnded dishes from the review and wasn't interested in anything else.
While waiting, Lin Jin rested her chin on her hand and blankly stared at Xia Tian who sat across the table.
"What are you thinking about?" Xia Tian looked at Lin Jin without any expression.
"Just thinking about how nice it’d be if you didn’t have such a cold face." Lin Jin tilted her head, looking at Xia Tian's face, and said, "With that face of yours, I can't tell at all if you're angry, or happy..."
"Happy." Xia Tian said, his face showed a stiff smile.
This Xia Tian, she didn’t know if it was because he had so childhood trauma or sothing, but smiles were always stiff or scary. Especially his current type of smile which felt like sothing out of a horror movie.
"Your smile is worse than last night's."
Lin Jin pouted, lowered her head, and went on her phone.
Xia Tian didn't know what to say either, so the atmosphere at the table quickly beca really awkward. Although the two were quite familiar with each other, it was probably their first ti eating together at a table. They couldn't find any common topics and didn't know what to say. It was unbearably awkward.
"That uh, how about for tonight's stream, you play Bloodseeker and I play Tusk? Let's try a combo, how about it?" Xia Tian racked his brains for a long ti before finally finding a conversation topic.
Lin Jin shrugged: "Up to you."
Then once again, they fell into silence.
Fortunately, the waiter ca over not long after and put a bunch of chicken at and bones into the pot. Then placed a stear basket on top, laid lotus leaves on it, placed sliced chicken and so seafood on top, then covered the pot, and said: "It'll be ready to eat in three minutes."
Lin Jin didn't pay much attention to the waiter, and the waiter didn't make much of a disturbance either. After speaking, they walked away, waiting for the next table of guests to arrive.
During these three minutes, both Lin Jin and Xia Tian looked expressionless. The two didn’t speak a word between themselves, sitting at the table as if they were strangers.
"That uh..." Xia Tian spoke again. "Are you going to Xian with today?"
"I don’t really want to go. My dad's really annoying right now, going back will definitely be depressing." Lin Jin lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers.
"Then you can stay at my place."
"Your rented place is tiny as hell. It's fine for one person, but wouldn’t it feel cramped with two?" Lin Jin rolled her eyes. She had also stayed at Xia Tian's place before. It was quite comfortable for one person, but if it was two, it felt unbearably cramped. "Besides, why should I stay with you? I'm not even your girlfriend. Even if I were, it's too early to live together, okay?"
Xia Tian thought for a mont and suggested: "Then I can rent a bigger place, like a two bedroom apartnt. One person, one bedroom. That way, you also won’t be spotted by your dad."
"You’re tired of having money?"
Lin Jin knew that Xia Tian's family couldn’t be considered well off. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed back to Xian after going ho solely because his job at ho paid too little.
"Then just stay at my place?" Xia Tian suggested once again. "It can be like last night, I'll just sleep on the floor. Anyway, it's hot now, so sleeping on the floor at night without a quilt is fine."
"Then you'll catch a cold sooner or later."
After saying that, Lin Jin opened the pot in the middle of the table. Amid the hot steam, she slled the sweet fragrance of chicken and seafood.
"Let's eat. We'll talk about this after we finish."
Seeing that Lin Jin had relented, a fleeting smile finally appeared on Xia Tian's face.
