The English class ended at only four in the afternoon. Lin Jin yawned and returned to the dormitory, instantly noticing Wu Min sitting in a chair, one hand resting on his forehead and the other controlling a mouse.
"Awake?" Lin Jin casually asked, glanced behind, found that Wen Xuan had disappeared at some point, but didn't care much, he must have gone to some other dorm to hang out.
"Yeah." Wu Min lifted his head, glanced at Lin Jin, "How much for the cigarettes and alcohol? I'll transfer you the money via Alipay."
"Ninety." She pulled over a chair, casually spread her legs and sat down, "You woke up so soon after drinking so much. You hold your liquor quite well."
"Fine." Wu Min's expression seemed a bit off, he who used to be quite fond of joking had no trace of a smile on his face now, his tone was even, it was obvious at a glance that his mood was still affected by the breakup.
"Hey, Wu Min." Lin Jin didn't like this kind of roommate, she turned to Wu Min and made faces, "Acting all deep? Come on, give me a smile."
"Boss?" Wu Min curled his lips, not very interested in picking up Lin Jin's conversation, he turned his head and continued looking at the computer.
"It's just a breakup, it's not a big deal."
Lin Jin felt now was a good time to comfort Wu Min. He didn't seem as upset as he was at noon, and his expression seemed to have calmed down, he should be able to hear what she had to say at this point.
"There are so many beautiful girls in our school, you can find another one after a breakup. We're only freshmen, even if we graduate in our junior year, if you find a girlfriend now, you'll have two years of relationship by the time we graduate, right?" Lin Jin was rummaging through her mind for words to comfort Wu Min, "When one tree falls, there's a whole forest waiting, without Chen Shiqi controlling you, won't you be able to date any girl you want?"
Patting her chest, Lin Jin assured Wu Min, "And I have a good relationship with Chen Xinya! Whichever girl you want to ask out, I can get Chen Xinya to help you find her contact information, I promise I'll be a perfect wingman!"
"Hmm."
After talking for a long time, Wu Min still had a dull expression as he looked at his computer, not listening to Lin Jin's words at all.
With a frown, Lin Jin thought she should pull out the big guns.
"Like this! Can't you forget Chen Shiqi?" Lin Jin moved her chair to Wu Min's side, Wu Min's calm face looked a lot easier to deal with... a lot easier to talk to than his gloomy self at noon, "Then find a new girlfriend! Transferring your feelings for Chen Shiqi to a new girlfriend would solve it, wouldn't it?"
Lin Jin came up with the idea of finding a new girlfriend as suggested by the black cat.
"I don't have that idea for now."
Wu Min gave Lin Jin a somewhat strange look.
Why is Lin Jin suddenly so talkative today? Doesn't she usually just mind her own business? And why is she in such a hurry to get me to find someone else after my breakup?
It can't be that she actually likes me, can it?
Wu Min was suddenly startled by his own thought, even though he knew Lin Jin was a woman, but he was a gentleman after all, even if he lived in the same dorm with a woman, he would never take liberties with Lin Jin or peep at anything, let alone think of being with Lin Jin, the tomboy.
Lin Jin didn't notice Wu Min's gaze, and continued to speak, trying to accomplish her task through talk, "Actually, when you really think about it, it's not completely impossible between you and Chen Shiqi, right? She just said 'let's break up', didn't she?"
"So what if her mom doesn't agree, why don't you just run off with her from under her house? It's not like no one has done it before, you're still young, and even if you do something that thrilling, no one is going to blame you!" Lin Jin's eyes brightened up, and she suddenly wanted to see Wu Min running off with Chen Shiqi.
You must know that this kind of melodramatic plot usually only happens in TV dramas, and in reality, she had never seen anything so romantic. At most, she had seen news about a man and woman running off, and then the woman being scammed into a pyramid scheme by the man.
That's such a sad plot...
"Are you out of your mind?" Wu Min sighed.
Even though he knew Lin Jin was saying so much out of concern for him, if you don't have the gift of gab, then don't just spout nonsense. Wu Min found all the gibberish and unconstructive suggestions rather annoying.
"Wow, Wu Min! You don't love me anymore!" Lin Jin exaggerated her expression, trying to make Wu Min laugh instead of keeping a straight face and acting deep, "I did my best to comfort you and give you advice, and you actually say I'm crazy!"
"Aren't you?" Wu Min's mouth twitched at the sight of Lin Jin acting foolishly, and he pressed a palm against her head, ruffling her hair and then gently pushing her away, "Okay, okay. If you have nothing better to do, go play Dota and stop making a fool of yourself here."
The whole sentence could be summed up in four words: "Go be silly elsewhere."
Damn it!
Of course, Lin Jin knew that she had acted foolishly just now, but wasn't it all to make Wu Min laugh?
She puffed her cheeks in annoyance, shook off his hand, and without hesitation, Lin Jin returned to her desk with her chair, resting her face in her hands and sulking quietly.
"Come on, I just broke up and even I don't look as upset as you do." Wu Min helplessly laughed, although his laughter was rather forced. He walked over to Lin Jin and asked, "Want to play Dota together?"
"First transfer the money to me, then we'll talk." Lin Jin said dismissively, "I have a really good player on my side, an online friend."
"That guy from last time?" Wu Min recalled the incident with Black Cat controlling Lin Jin's computer. Of course, he just thought a pro player had logged into Lin Jin's account and she was just spectating.
"No, someone I just met not long ago." Lin Jin noticed that Wu Min's mood seemed to have improved a lot after her interference, at least he was willing to force a smile.
But she was the one feeling upset after he had belittled her.
Lin Jin thought she shouldn't have listened to the Black Cat's advice about making Wu Min shift his feelings onto someone else. If it was going to be like this, wouldn't it be easier to just let Wu Min and Chen Shiqi get back together?
"I need to use the bathroom first."
Lin Jin watched as Wu Min closed the dormitory's back door. She rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
Even the strategy of acting silly to make him happy didn't seem to improve his mood much, not to mention that Black Cat's requirement was for Wu Min to forget Chen Shiqi, at least temporarily. Only then would the Black Cat acknowledge that Lin Jin had accomplished the task of alleviating Wu Min's troubles.
But now, even though Wu Min wasn't as desolate as when he was drunk, his mood was clearly not great either, and he was obviously still longing for his ex-girlfriend.
