Goddess Cultivation Plan

Chapter 571: – Lin Chen’s Thoughts

The temperature on Chinese New Year’s Eve was very cold. In fact, two months ago in Xiamen, the temperature had already dropped to the single digits.

This wasn’t bad for the northerners, but to a southerner like Lin Jin, it felt so cold she could barely leave the bed.

After finally getting on a car home, Lin Jin was already frozen all over.

Even though she was wearing four layers of clothes, her body might be able to handle it, but her face could not.

Her face felt like it was frozen. As soon as she got home, she hurried into the bathroom and wiped her face with a hot towel. Only then did her frozen face finally feel better.

Lin Jin then put on some thick socks and dashed into her bedroom. She burrowed under the quilt and refused to come out.

“Mom! I’m hungry!” Lin Jin loudly yelled.

“Where’s Xia Tian? Didn’t you go find him?” Her mom, who had been in the other room watching the Spring Festival Gala, walked to Lin Jin’s room and asked “Want to watch the Gala together?”

“Isn’t the Gala boring? Xia Tian said he will be back at eleven. Can’t we just eat first?”

“Didn’t you already eat at six?”

“That was just a little bit.”

Lin Chen suddenly came over and excitedly shouted: “Mom! The Gala’s giving out red envelopes!”

“Where? Where?”

Their mom immediately turned around, took out her phone, and started grabbing the red envelopes with Lin Chen. Lin Jin looked helpless as she huddled under her quilt, completely not sure what was even the point of them grabbing those shopping coupons or a few cents.

The two of them hurriedly rushed over to the living room sofa. One person was playing the Gala on their phone, and the other used their phone to continuously refresh and grab red envelopes.

Lin Jin was also too lazy to bother with them. She had never been interested in these grabbing or gifting of red envelopes.

Since it was New Year’s Eve today, Lin Jin didn’t plan to live stream. She just laid down on the bed like a salted fish, watching episodes of In the Name of the People.

At around midnight, around when the New Year’s bell rang, Xia Tian finally came back.

Lin Jin’s mom called Xia Tian over to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner. Lin Chen also dragged Lin Jin out of bed.

Lin Jin felt like she was about to fall asleep under the covers. She didn’t feel too cold when she just went out earlier, but after staying in bed for a while, she started shivering all over as soon as she got out.

When she went out earlier, she clearly just felt that her face was a bit cold from the wind. But now, she was actually so cold and shivering all over.

“Sister, your body’s not it.” Lin Chen laughed as he watched Lin Jin tremble while putting on her slippers. She also put on a big coat along the way.

“Your body is.” Lin Jin took a glance at him. This Lin Chen guy was just wearing a thin long sleeve shirt in the middle of winter, seemingly unable to feel the cold at all.

But Lin Chen was quite built, so having high cold resistance was quite normal. Lin Jin had once even seen a super skinny little guy wear only a thin shirt no matter how cold it was. He was even the kind that had work every day and had no time to exercise. It could only be said that some people were naturally born with a good physique.

Lin Jin hurriedly put on her coat and went to the dining room.

On the dining table, her mom had long already prepared some dishes, filling the table full. There were even still some dishes that weren’t good cold being heated up in the pot currently.

The small square table was just enough to sit the four of them. Lin Jin sat across from her mom. She somewhat impatiently picked up a few pieces of meat with her chopsticks and placed it straight into her bowl.

Lin Jin’s mom had made her some fried noodles at six to pad her stomach. But fried noodles were just noodles after all, plus the portion wasn’t big, so Lin Jin had been hungry long ago.

Xia Tian was even more so. Even though he ate a bit at the restaurant, because he had been too busy, the stuff he had previously eaten had probably been digested long ago. Now, he didn’t even bother to say anything to Lin Jin and just started eating the food.

Lin Jin’s mom propped her chin up with one hand. She didn’t seem to be that hungry, just watching the three younglings wolfing down their food.

“Want to go set off some firecrackers later?” Lin Jin’s mom’s eyes were in crescents, clearing in a good mood. She suggested to Lin Jin “Let's light some fireworks on the roof tonight?”

Mom propped her chin up, watching the three younger ones wolf down their food. “Want to set off some firecrackers later?” she asked Lin Jin. “We could do fireworks on the roof tonight.”

“Mom, I remember that fireworks and firecrackers are banned here…”

“Are they? No wonder there’s so little firecracker sounds here, there’s barely anyone setting off fireworks on New Year.” Mom helplessly smiled “Are all big cities like this now? It’s also not allowed over there at mom’s. I didn’t know that a few years ago, I lit a firecracker on New Year’s Eve and almost got caught.”

Xia Tian looked up and rubbed Lin Jin’s head with his hand: “Auntie, the ban’s only on the island. They don’t care over here.”

“So can we set them off or not…”

Lin Jin’s mom was a bit confused.

Lin Jin helplessly pouted at Xia Tian and pulled off his unruly hand on her head: “It’s going to stunt my growth!”

“Let’s not for now, we’ll wait for others to set them off first.” Lin Chen looked up at the intimate interaction between Xia Tian and Lin Jin. His eyes slightly squinted, unsure why he kept feeling unhappy.

It was clearly his sister…

Lin Chen had long found Xia Tian unappealing to the eye. From the very first time he saw Xia Tian, he just felt this handsome brother in law looked very incompetent. But fortunately, Xia Tian was usually quite busy and Lin Chen usually wouldn’t see him much every day. Even when they met, Xia Tian was basically always streaming.

Being stuffed with public displays of affection of his own sister, Lin Chen felt very uncomfortable inside.

Especially when he thought about what his sister and Xia Tian got up to in the bedroom at night…

Waah, that feels even more uncomfortable.

Maybe it was because Lin Jin had always taken special care of Lin Chen ever since they were kids. No matter what he did, Lin Jin would basically always help. Even when he was bullied, Lin Chen as a kid was very timid and didn’t dare to speak up, but Lin Jin would always bring him along to fight.

So Lin Chen has always had a strange possessiveness towards Lin Jin.

However, it didn’t matter. Without his knowledge, Lin Jin had found a boyfriend, and he even watched as they got engaged.

F*ck, his heart hurt.

Lin Chen hurriedly lowered his head and quickly ate. He then continued to game on the sofa like a waste.

Lin Jin noticed Lin Chen’s weirdness. She turned her head and glanced at Lin Chen on the living room sofa, always feeling a bit puzzled.

Even though it was said that college changes a person, but while Lin Chen would occasionally play some games, he was never the type to be addicted to gaming. Plus, he was very self disciplined, so how come he was just gaming on the sofa all day? Even when eating, he would just eat in a hurry and then run back to gaming.

Could it be that her place was just too boring?

Lin Jin shook her head and didn’t bother to regulate Lin Chen. Lin Chen was an adult after all, he would definitely be very annoyed by her restricting him.

“It’s almost the New Year, ten more minutes” Xia Tian took a glance at his phone and said “Are there any plans later?”

“Watch In the Name of the People together?”

“I don’t like watching TV dramas.”

“Then let’s just watch the Spring Festival Gala?”

“That’s even less interesting…”

Lin Jin despairingly bit the end of her chopstick, unable to think of what they should do even after a long time.

Her mom had a smile as she watched Lin Jin and Xia Tian looking all sweet together, suddenly feeling that Lin Jin and Xia Tian being together might not be such a bad thing.

At least there was someone to help look after her daughter, right?

Even if this kid had a loan and owed quite a bit of money.
