Volume 2 Chapter 41: You Just Need to Sit Inside Without Going Anywhere
Chirp chirp, meow meow…
The road was so quiet. There wasn’t anyone from the art class around either.
Ahem…
Lin Lin carried her bag and walked around the neighborhood for quite a while. Finally, she saw a black sedan in front of her and stopped.
She looked left and right. After making sure no one was following her, the girl quickly opened the door of the black car.
But then—
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Gao Liang sitting upright in the back seat. He turned his head too. The two of them looked at each other for a moment. Lin Lin’s face turned red, and she quickly looked away, muttering.
“Uh… you… shouldn’t you be sitting in the front passenger seat?”
“Pfft. Has Classmate Lin Lin already decided where I should sit?”
“You jerk…”
Lin Lin turned her head away, speechless. She clearly didn’t believe his excuse.
This guy… he did it on purpose. He sat in the back seat just to block her!
As for the reason…
Probably.
Probably because we both see each other as sworn enemies, and he’s trying every way he can to beat me, or bully me.
Hmm…
Such evil intentions!
As expected of the big villain she herself had acknowledged.
Lin Lin stared at this “big villain” in silence. Gao Liang didn’t really understand what she was thinking. After thinking for a moment, he quietly moved to the side, leaving some space for her to sit down.
But…
Lin Lin blinked awkwardly.
Th-this guy… is he inviting me to sit next to him?
Ah…
What is he even thinking?
Hmm, let me think.
The girl clenched her teeth and thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped her forehead.
After that, the way Lin Lin looked at Gao Liang became even more frightened.
This guy… could it be that he wants to do something to her in a closed space like a car…?
Gasp—
Now that she thought about it, wasn’t it like this last time too?
Black cars really shouldn’t be ridden casually!
Danger! Abort mission!
She immediately turned around and tried to run away. Gao Liang was completely confused. He quickly grabbed her arm and shouted,
“Lin Lin, why are you running outside?!”
“I don’t care anymore~ let go of me~”
“Ahem—y-you can sit in the front passenger seat instead!”
Seeing that she was about to break free, Gao Liang hurriedly backed down and said that. Lin Lin froze for a moment, then turned around and nodded.
Right!
She finally realized she could sit in the front passenger seat.
Ahem…
The girl quietly moved a few steps and sat down in the front passenger seat. Soon, the car slowly started moving.
Gao Liang felt a little regretful. He didn’t get to sit next to Lin Lin.
But seeing that she still looked a bit uneasy, he decided to say something to help her relax.
With the car’s temperature control system, the inside of the car soon became comfortable.
Gao Liang smiled and said to the girl in the passenger seat.
“Lin Lin, how is it? Being in the car is nicer, right? You just need to sit inside without going anywhere. It’s definitely better than walking outside~”
“I never said I wanted to walk with you…”
Lin Lin was about to argue back, but suddenly realized something strange in what he said. She turned her head and looked at him seriously.
“What did you just say?”
“Of course it’s better than walking outside, right?”
Gao Liang was confused. She had clearly heard him just now, so why did she ask again?
“No, no, no! I mean the sentence before that!”
“Uh…” Gao Liang froze for a moment, then tried to remember. “I… You just need to sit inside.”
“Ugh—” The girl’s expression slowly turned wronged and uneasy. “That’s even scarier!”
“Huh?”
Gao Liang didn’t understand, and Lin Lin didn’t explain either. She quickly turned her head and started looking at…
Gao Liang stayed silent for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.
It felt like he really didn’t understand as many memes and jokes as she did.
The atmosphere in the car became quiet for a while. Then, the girl suddenly remembered something and spoke up to break the awkward silence.
“By the way… what were you doing that night? Why were you still sending me messages at four in the morning?”
“Ah…”
When that night was mentioned, Gao Liang scratched his neck awkwardly.
That night… first, he worked on the Little Vampire’s livestream recordings. He used some skills he had learned recently and did a lot of editing. Of course, since it was his first time editing videos, his skills were still a bit rough.
Because he was a perfectionist, Gao Liang made several versions. In the end, he finally finished one that he was more or less satisfied with and sent it to the Little Vampire.
Ahem. After sending it and getting ready to sleep, he suddenly realized that he still hadn’t found online courses for Lin Lin.
Since he was already staying up late anyway, he stayed up a bit longer, found some good online courses, and sent them to Lin Lin. When he checked the time, he decided to take the day off and sleep at home.
That was pretty much what happened.
But…
Could he really say it like that? That he stayed up so late mainly because he was editing videos for a virtual streamer?
Ahem. Whether she would get jealous or not was one thing, he wasn’t even sure how Lin Lin felt about him.
But…
He would definitely get laughed at, right?
Staying up all night just to edit videos for someone he didn’t even know, people would totally make fun of him for that.
He knew himself that he edited videos partly for fun and partly because of his perfectionist habits, but… it was still really embarrassing to say that in front of Lin Lin.
So—
“Actually, I stayed up all night just to choose online courses for you, Lin Lin!”
“I don’t believe you!”
Lin Lin puffed up her cheeks and turned her head away. Even though she said she didn’t believe him, deep down, she still felt a little touched.
If what he said was true, then…
It was actually pretty warm and kind.
“No, really, really! I watched videos all night to check how professional the teachers were! Ahem. So? Are they okay?”
“They’re… alright. The explanations are pretty good…”
The girl pouted, thought for a moment, and still said doubtfully.
“Are you sure you were watching videos of the teachers? You didn’t… secretly film me doing something embarrassing, then edit it and post it online, did you?”
“Ah…”
Gao Liang thought about it. If he compared Lin Lin to the Little Vampire, then what he did last night… actually felt kind of similar.
“What the heck! I was just joking, why are you suddenly silent?! Don’t tell me you really did that!”
Lin Lin panicked right away. Gao Liang quickly waved his hands in a guilty panic and said,
“Ahem, of course not! I never do disgusting things like secretly filming people!”
“Hmm… I guess that’s true?”
The girl was still a bit uneasy. Amid their noisy back-and-forth, the car finally arrived at the art studio Gao Liang had booked.
They parked and got out of the car. Lin Lin looked at Gao Liang beside her, then at the art studio in front of them.
“Ahem, I booked a private room. It should be enough. Lin Lin, do you want something to drink?”
“Um… are we going to stay for a long time?”
“Of course!”
