Chapter 213 : Internet Cafe Chat
Wu Jiaming had never imagined that his male cousin would one day appear before him as a female cousin.
It wasn't that he had any designs on Lin Nan, but he couldn't stop himself from curiously glancing at Lin Nan's face beside him.
She was much prettier than the girlfriend he had worked so hard to find.
She had a bit of aunt's resemblance, but it wasn't obvious. Her cheeks were slightly puffed out, still carrying childishness, but there was also a certain charm between her eyebrows that made her very attractive to males.
Her hair was only slightly longer than a normal male's, and she still wore masculine clothing, looking a bit unkempt, but she was already much prettier than most women.
Perhaps because Lin Nan was pretty enough, he quickly accepted this fact.
"Cousin, I'm inviting you, join the room and voice chat."
"Okay."
Although they had played LOL together before, the relationship between Lin Nan and Wu Jiaming had long since grown distant, so their conversation was somewhat stiff. Lin Nan did want their relationship to return to its former state, but neither she nor cousin were the little brats they used to be.
Previously, Wu Jiaming's height was about the same as hers, but it seemed like during high school, cousin suddenly grew nearly ten centimeters taller in one year, and his height kept shooting up after that, while Lin Nan never grew taller again.
She had even gotten shorter due to Lilith.
The game started. Lin Nan took off her scarf and placed it on her thighs, absent-mindedly drinking milk tea while thinking about upcoming matters, but her enhanced reaction magic was enough to make up for operational mistakes caused by distraction.
Mom will definitely have time to take me shopping for women's clothing these next few days...
Even if she doesn't, grandfather can't stand seeing me look like this.
Lin Nan sighed deeply, still unable to accept an overly feminine self.
"You're a sophomore now?"
While playing the game, Wu Jiaming took the initiative to try to get closer.
"Mm, sophomore."
"You seem to be in the same city as little uncle? Do you contact each other often?"
"Occasionally. I went to his place to hang out twice last semester." Lin Nan said this, then suddenly turned excitedly to look at cousin, smiling as she said, "You might not know, but little uncle has, on his bed..."
"Cough! I'm still here, okay?" Wu Guodong hurriedly interrupted Lin Nan in voice chat, "Don't talk nonsense, or there's no New Year's money this year."
As if you've ever given New Year's money.
But she had almost squeezed him dry already. Considering that Wu Guodong had given her money several times, Lin Nan decided not to continue exposing his dark history.
After all, little uncle and cousin were already people who had graduated from school. Under busy work schedules, they didn't have much dedication to games and gradually lost interest in gaming. After playing for two hours, everyone quickly felt somewhat bored.
Lin Nan happened to be tired at this time too. She finished her milk tea, propped her chin with one hand, and yawned while browsing web pages.
The game indeed quickly deepened the relationship between her and Wu Jiaming. The previous sense of strangeness quickly dissipated completely, and Lin Nan, who had been a bit restrained just now, became lively.
"Cousin, how long have you been with your girlfriend?"
"Over a year, we met at school." Wu Jiaming took out a cigarette but didn't smoke it, just held it in his mouth, and asked back, "What about you? Not looking for a boyfriend?"
"I think I'll pass..."
"Then aunt must be getting a headache?" Although Wu Jiaming expressed understanding, he still asked curiously, "So do you still like girls like before?"
Lin Nan was stunned. Thinking carefully, she had actually lost interest in women long ago, so she shook her head somewhat gloomily.
"So you're planning to stay single like this?"
"Being single isn't really good either..." Lin Nan sighed deeply. "But I'm no longer interested in girls, and as for men... I always feel it's disgustingly weird, like it's gay."
Wu Guodong came from his position to the private room doorway, distributed the Coke he was carrying to Lin Nan and Wu Jiaming, then asked with a smile, "What are you talking about? Tell me."
Lin Nan saw the blue packaging on the Coke and pushed it back with disgust: "I want to drink Coca-Cola. Pepsi is too sweet, it makes my throat uncomfortable."
"You're really picky. Jiaming, go exchange a bottle for her. I'm too lazy to walk."
Wu Jiaming had no objections. He took Lin Nan's Coke and walked toward the counter. Wu Guodong sat down straightforwardly.
He looked at Lin Nan, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I have a question but I don't know if I should ask it."
"What?"
Lin Nan put her feet on the horizontal bar of the computer desk, propped her chin with both hands, and turned back to ask.
"That Chen Yao... really isn't your boyfriend?"
"I already said he's not." Lin Nan was a bit annoyed and unhesitatingly counterattacked, "Why do you all care about whether I find a boyfriend? You're already thirty, why don't you think about your own marriage?"
Wu Guodong's face darkened, nearly checkmated, but quickly found an excuse: "Isn't this asking for your mom?"
"As if my mom has a boyfriend. Wouldn't it be better to worry about yourself? I'm only eighteen, what's the rush?"
Completely checkmated, Wu Guodong had nothing to say. He leaned back on the sofa with no will to live: "If I could find a girlfriend, wouldn't I look for one?"
"What about that Liu Xuefei from before? Wasn't she pretty good?"
Lin Nan suddenly remembered Liu Xuefei, who had gone on blind dates with little uncle previously. At the time, it seemed they got along pretty well.
"The relationship hasn't been determined yet." Wu Guodong had a bit of a headache. "That woman is a bit too realistic, and she spends money on a large scale. After dating her for a few months, I spent nearly ten thousand, forcing me to eat instant noodles for several meals."
"That much?" Lin Nan's eyes lit up. She puffed out her chest and said righteously, "Why don't you let me make a noble sacrifice? Consider me?"
I'd like to consider you, but I'm afraid of getting my legs broken.
Knowing Lin Nan was joking, Wu Guodong didn't mind, but he glanced at Lin Nan's puffed-out chest, then thought of Liu Xuefei's chest that was so flat you couldn't tell front from back, and suddenly felt his niece was better.
Although she was a bit small, at least there were some benefits to look at. Looking at Liu Xuefei again, after being with her for two months, he increasingly felt like they were brothers rather than blind date partners.
Wu Jiaming returned with the exchanged Coke. The two stopped their mutual teasing, and the topic directly shifted to him.
When would he get married, how was his relationship with his girlfriend, or matters about his work.
Wu Jiaming, who had just graduated, couldn't even support himself, let alone think about marriage.
"Marriage and such should be with the next girlfriend. This girlfriend said she'd break up with me if I go abroad." Wu Jiaming was extremely worried. "Besides, long-distance international relationships really aren't good. You might get cheated on and think they're just out jogging."
Wu Guodong patted his shoulder with an "I understand your pain" expression. The two men sighed simultaneously. Being a man in today's society was really too bitter. Unlike Lin Nan, who had already escaped the pain of being a man early on.
But Lin Nan didn't understand the joke Wu Jiaming made and looked at the two of them sighing in bewilderment.
