Chapter 593
Chapter 593: –
Lin Jin didn’t think her 40th birthday was anything special. After all, it just meant she had entered the middle aged people category.
Her appearance at forty years old didn’t look too much different from when she was twenty. If you ignored the barely noticeable little wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and straightened out her long wavy hair, she could easily sneak into a college and pretend to be a student.
Even though it had been nearly twenty years since she graduated from college, Lin Jin still felt nostalgic about her university days. What she felt nostalgic about wasn’t her time with Xia Tian, but the period before she met the black cat.
That period of time could be considered as her happiest time as a man after becoming sensible.
She didn’t have to worry about whether her dad would gamble away their food money every day, or if he would come home drunk and try to beat her…
But it wasn’t long before she encountered the black cat…
It was time for dinner.
Even though there wasn’t really anything worth live streaming for something like a meal, Xia Tian thought that since it was Lin Jin’s 40th birthday, they should stream it for the viewers to see.
Lin JIn’s weekly dance videos had been changed to monthly dance videos. Because of her consistent long term uploads and increasing video quality, her videos would feature on the frontpage of multiple video platforms as soon as they were uploaded.
At some unknown point, when adding up all the platforms together, her total followers had reached ten million.
If you didn’t count there being any fans who followed Lin Jin on multiple platforms, then it could be said that there would be one in every hundred people in China following her.
“Time to eat!”
Lin Chen suddenly shouted right beside Lin Jin’s ear.
The currently reminiscing Lin Jin was so startled she almost slapped him on reflex.
“Wife, time to eat, it’s already seven.”
Xia Tian had set up several cameras around the dining table. With a smile, he placed his hands on his hips and said: “This meal also has your dear husband’s contributions! Quickly give me a kiss as a reward.”
“Stinky dad, already so old but still doesn't know shame.” Wanqing huffed, doing her part to sabotage him “Mom! I want a kiss too! I helped serve the rice!”
“Auntie, me too!” That Zihan immediately raised his hand and shouted as well. As soon as his words fell, Wanqing smacked him on the head.
Zihan somewhat pitifully looked at his own dad.
“Dad, look, Wanqing’s bullying me again…”
“It’s fine, being bullied by girls is normal.”
Lin Chen smiled as he ruffled Zihan’s hair. Watching as Lin Jin took her seat, he explained: “Your sister in law said she had something today, so she couldn’t come.”
“Tch.”
Lin Jin rolled her eyes at him. She didn’t know why, but she and her sister in law really didn’t get along well. Even though they weren’t at the point of fighting the moment they met, but they basically wouldn’t speak more than a few words to each other.
And it seemed that from the very first time Lin Jin met this sister in law, she noticed that this woman had some grudge against her. Lin Jin didn’t know what it was, but Lin Chen actually married that woman without a second thought.
She must definitely be a vixen.
Sitting at the dining table, Lin Jin gave Wanqing’s cheek a kiss before turning with a smile to see Xia Tian pushing out a giant cake.
“Why’d you buy such a huge one?”
“No worries. If we can’t finish it, there’s still a few hundred fans at the restaurant who can help.” He pushed the cart up beside Lin Jin, then also pulled out a bottle of beer “Drink a bit today?”
“Ugh, I don’t like alcohol.”
“It’s fine, today’s your birthday. If you get drunk, just let Wanqing and them go stream.”
Wanqing’s eyes lit up and she immediately raised her hand in agreement: “Yes yes yes! I can also stream dancing!”
Wanqing had inherited Lin Jin’s dancing talent. Her body was naturally more flexible than most girls, coupled with years of training from a young age, she was already a master who had won first place in the city’s high school dance competition before eighteen.
Even though she claimed that she definitely wouldn’t have been willing to learn it if Lin Jin hadn’t forced her, she put more effort into training than anyone else.
As for Zihan, Lin Chen, who had a master’s degree, was helpless against this idiot son of his. It was only tenth grade, but Zihan had already failed his math and english tests multiple times.
The people at the table started eating and chatting, and Braised Pork also jumped onto the table, meowing for food.
Braised Pork was now twenty something years old, but time seemed to have barely left any traces on it. Compared to other cats, it was practically immortal.
Wanqing had always respected this cat that was older than herself, maybe because Braised Pork had always been taking care of her ever since she could remember.
“Hello grandpa!”
Lin Jin’s eyebrows twitched. She just wanted to drag the black cat out and give it a good beating.
“Why’s Wanqing calling a cat grandpa?”
Xia Tian was already used to this matter. The first time he heard it, he was a bit freaked out. But later, it barely fazed him.
But this was the first time Lin Chen heard Wanqing addressing the cat that way, and he was completely stunned.
“Not sure, maybe something’s wrong with her head?”
Lin Jin sighed, she couldn’t just say it was taught by the black cat, right?
None of them were superstitious people. And even if they were superstitious people, black cats were usually seen as not that good, right?
“Eat, eat!”
Xia Tian saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and instantly stepped in to liven things up.
“Lin Jin, it’s your 40th birthday today, how about you say something?”
“Say what?” Lin Jin chuckled bitterly “Could it be congratulating myself for getting older and older?”
“Mom, you don’t look old at all, okay?”
Wanqing scooted next to Lin Jin, smiling as she asked Xia Tian: “Dad! Look, don’t mom and I look like sisters?”
“You do!”
Xia Tian’s expression wasn’t very good. Even though he was smiling, but looking at his seemingly forever young wife while he himself was getting older and older, his body weakening, this kind of feeling had been bothering him lately.
Lin Jin’s age looked as if it had been frozen in time. But him, even though his face looked the same as he did many years ago in his youth, but he really had transformed from a handsome young man into an old uncle.
Especially when he went out with Lin Jin and was assumed by others to have married a young wife only because he had some money…
Lin Jin was clearly his legally wedded wife, and they had been together since college, okay!
Lin Jin had long since noticed Xia Tian’s insecurity, but there wasn’t anything she could do. She could only buy a bunch of men’s skincare productions from her friends and try to slow down Xia Tian’s aging as much as possible.
Sometimes, Lin Jin even suspected if her own lifespan was different from a normal person’s. After all, she was already forty years old, but there were almost no signs of aging.
But it shouldn’t be, right? If that were the case, wouldn’t she just end up growing old alone?
Besides, this anti aging kind of thing, some celebrities managed to achieve it too. As long as proper care was taken, it was still possible.
