When the group arrived at the middle-aged and elderly activity center at the mountain peak, it was already past six o'clock.
The winter sun hadn't completely risen yet, but there were already many elderly people on the mountaintop starting their daily exercise.
Grandfather led the three of them to a large pavilion, then joined the morning square dancing crowd himself.
Compared to the city where square dancing always disturbs residents, dancing on this mountain truly had no possibility of bothering anyone.
Lin Nan sat in a corner of the pavilion, leaning against a support pillar. She would occasionally glance at her grandfather following others in dance, but always felt uncomfortable.
Her cousin's gaze seed to constantly rest on her without moving away.
Although her thinking hadn't completely shifted toward female, she was still quite sensitive to such things, imdiately wondering if her cousin was attracted to her body.
But when she looked up, Wu Jiaming didn't look away like others would. Instead, he continued staring at her, grinning with clear, upright eyes that didn't match what Lin Nan had imagined at all.
Maybe I'm overthinking it?
Having climbed the mountain for nearly an hour, she was sowhat tired. After all, this was different from distributing flyers or shopping. One was for earning money, the other was buying things, while this was so-called physical exercise.
But she felt she had no need to exercise at all. She wasn't fat nor skinny enough to be all bones. She had flesh where she should, at most just appearing slender due to her small fra.
Wu Jiaming lowered his head to play with his phone. However, Lin Nan discovered that the gaze constantly resting on her hadn't disappeared. After curiously looking left and right, she finally locked her sight on her uncle.
Lin Nan shifted her position closer, looking up with a face full of suspicion at him.
Thinking carefully, the previous two tis she visited her uncle's house, his gaze toward her seed sowhat eager, especially the second ti.
"What?" Wu Guodong had been playing ostrich for quite a while. Seeing that Lin Nan wouldn't give up, he couldn't help but speak. "Why do you keep staring at ?"
While asking, his hand unconsciously touched his nose and scratched his head.
Then his gaze uncontrollably fell on Lin Nan's tightly pressed together thighs.
During their ti together, Lin Nan hadn't felt he had any strange looks or behavior toward her. They hadn't even had much proper conversation. But seeing his slightly awkward and nervous expression, Lin Nan still suspected this person had just learned to hide it.
"Where should we go play this afternoon?" Lin Nan asked.
Wu Guodong shook his head. He was just a shut-in, how would he know such things? "Go visit Summoner's Rift?"
"I'm tired of playing that."
"Then go to the famous city to see the scenery?"
"I have no objection to that. Did you bring the ga console back?"
"It's in the TV cabinet in the first-floor hall. Didn't you see it?"
Lin Nan's eyes lit up. Most gas on her computer required internet, and her grandfather's internet was terrible. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to the internet café yesterday.
Only a few gas on the ga console required constant online connection. Moreover, the TV in her grandfather's hall was surprisingly large. Sitting close would definitely give a cinematic, imrsive feeling.
It would just strain the eyes a bit.
Lin Nan simply sat next to Wu Guodong, discussing Sekiro's plot with him. She didn't really notice his gaze that occasionally drifted downward to size up her figure.
Wu Jiaming wasn't interested in single-player gas, but still moved closer to listen to their argunt, occasionally interjecting with questions.
This was definitely her shut-in uncle's area of expertise. Lin Nan usually played gas just for fun, preferring gas where she could charge straight through from beginning to end. But her uncle was a faithful gaming enthusiast who played gas slowly, always liking to collect everything for an achievent.
As they talked, the distant sun also erged. Wu Jiaming, wearing thick cotton clothes, took off his coat, revealing his sturdy, muscular build under his short sleeves.
Because the temperature wasn't too low and he wasn't afraid of cold, he usually just wore short sleeves with a thick outer jacket for warmth.
Lin Nan only glanced once but was nearly drooling with envy. Why could both Chen Yao and her cousin have such good bodies? And I...
By female standards, it was pretty decent, but judging by male standards, she had no muscle where muscle should be. No matter how she flexed, her biceps felt like soft flesh when pinched. This body had basically no use other than attracting n.
Wu Jiaming noticed Lin Nan's gaze was sowhat infatuated. If it were any other girl, he would definitely show off his physique right now, preferably luring her to bed. But this was his cousin... cousin.
"Cousin, why don't you consider becoming a fitness trainer?" Lin Nan suggested. "It's still basically sales, right? Plus if you lose a little weight you'd be quite handso, perfect for attracting girls."
Wu Jiaming paused, suddenly feeling Lin Nan's suggestion was quite good.
"You an my college fitness training was actually useful?" Being action-oriented, having just accepted this suggestion, he imdiately lowered his head to search for this type of work on job apps.
That previous sales job with a base salary of just over a thousand wasn't worth keeping anyway. He couldn't afford to eat either way. As for going abroad, the paperwork would take at least several months.
"Are your parents coming back this year?" Wu Guodong asked.
"No, they just opened a new restaurant abroad and are very busy. Plus there seem to be so problems dostically." He handed his phone to Wu Guodong, showing a news article. "Sothing about so virus possibly spreading."
Lin Nan leaned over to take a look. After seeing the location na, she lost interest. "That's so far away, it has nothing to do with us."
None of the three paid much attention to this news. After chatting for a bit, they each started playing on their phones.
The mountain was mostly filled with middle-aged and elderly people. Young people like them were rarely seen. Lin Nan also had no interest in the fitness equipnt, so she simply held her phone and wandered casually between the various ball courts, trying to find so childhood mories here.
However, there were none. Back then, there were only so horizontal and parallel bars here, the kind of facilities common in small neighborhoods. But now it has been rebuilt quite a lot. Almost every court was at full capacity. Lin Nan even saw a small golf course the size of a basketball court.
When she returned from her tour, Wu Jiaming was nowhere to be seen. Apparently he had gone jogging with that group of elderly people, leaving only Wu Guodong sitting alone in the pavilion.
Lin Nan casually took off her jacket and removed her scarf, bending over to place her things on the chair, then reached up to brush away the hair that had fallen in front of her eyes.
Her bangs were getting longer and increasingly blocking her vision. She probably really needed to trim them.
Wu Guodong was sowhat stunned watching Lin Nan's feminine gestures, but quickly snapped out of it. "I have a mbership card for a barbershop over there. Want to get a trim?"
"That works, just don't do any dyeing or perming, or make it into so little girl hairstyle." Lin Nan fiddled with her bangs in distress. "If worst cos to worst, just cut it all off."
"Your grandfather would probably scold you to death."
Grandfather was also strange. He wasn't very bothered by his grandson becoming a granddaughter, but if she dressed in ways that didn't match her gender, he'd be especially concerned.
Thinking of him gave Lin Nan a headache. If she'd known, she might as well have kept hiding it. Last night when she didn't listen to grandfather's advice about buying won's clothes, today his gaze toward her was obviously more hostile than the day before.
"Just listen to him. He's old, so concepts can't be changed. If you keep going like this, he'll probably get tired of dealing with you in a few days, just like with Li Xinyi." Wu Guodong advised.
Moreover, Lin Nan in won's clothing would definitely be much more beautiful than now.
Thinking of grandfather's attitude toward their female cousin, Lin Nan truly felt an even bigger headache.
