Chapter 1100: Chapter 1100: Complicated Feelings
Lin Tian doesn’t remember what time he fell asleep last night.
Three o’clock? Four o’clock?
Can’t remember, anyway, he was quite tired.
In fact, Bai Shishi was even more exhausted than him since it was her first time. If it weren’t for Lin Tian nourishing her with Spiritual Qi, he would have really feared for her wellbeing.
They slept until the middle of the day, and after lingering in bed for a while, they dressed slowly, engaging in sweet nothings, and headed to the restaurant on the ship to eat and replenish their energy.
Sunshine, flowers, and medium-cooked steak with red wine. It was so pleasant that one wished to stay in that moment forever.
Under the table, Bai Shishi suddenly kicked Lin Tian’s foot, wrinkled her nose, and playfully said, "If you’re eating, just eat. Why do you keep staring at me?"
Bai Shishi wasn’t someone with a thin skin; otherwise, she couldn’t have become the big sister of Kanyue City’s underworld in her early twenties.
However, in front of Lin Tian, this rascal, she felt sensitive, shy, and easily contented.
Lin Tian gazed at her smooth face and said with a smile, "I’m staring at you because you’re beautiful, don’t you notice the tenderness in my gaze?"
Bai Shishi’s heart pounded wildly at his flirtatious words; her cheeks felt slightly warm, and there was an itch in her heart, but besides giving a soft hum, she couldn’t do anything against this scoundrel.
Today, Bai Shishi indeed looked even more beautiful, not referring to her figure or face. It was a metamorphosis from girl to woman, becoming more charming and womanly. Although she was still the same Bai Shishi, she seemed different from yesterday.
After lunch, they lingered a bit more before Bai Shishi grudgingly let Lin Tian take her back to the company; after all, she’d been absent for a day and a half, and there were things she needed to attend to at work.
Having sent Bai Shishi back to the company, Lin Tian thought of taking a nap in her office. However, just before he entered the building, his phone rang, showing a call from Jiang Pan Die.
Answering a call from another woman in front of Bai Shishi seemed inappropriate, and they’d just spent a sweet night together, answering the call would be asking for trouble, wouldn’t it?
"Why aren’t you answering? Is it inconvenient because I’m here?" Bai Shishi asked.
Lin Tian forced a dry laugh and said, "It’s Jiang Pan Die calling, she must be urging me to rehearse. I’ll call her back in a bit."
Lin Tian admitted openly; he had already told Bai Shishi yesterday about being a guest at the concert.
Bai Shishi nodded and said, "Then go ahead, you’ve already brought me to the company entrance, I can go up by myself. After all, the company’s signed a contract with you to help, so you should go."
Lin Tian smiled wryly, "I wanted to spend more time with you."
"No need, Ruyan is still up there, and besides, this is the company, there are lots of people around and tongues wag. If people see us, they might gossip," Bai Shishi said, "You should go take care of your business."
"Alright then." Lin Tian nodded, it’s indeed annoying to have people gossiping in the company. Although, in everyone’s eyes, the two beautiful bosses were already Lin Tian’s women.
Bai Shishi waved her hand, and after taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and returned.
Initially, Lin Tian thought she had left something behind, but unexpectedly, Bai Shishi came forward, wrapped her arms around his waist, stood on her toes, and pressed her lips to his in a kiss. Then she immediately released him and walked away.
Lin Tian stood in place, touched his still tingling lips, and smiled wryly.
Just earlier, she was saying how there were too many people around, and yet she made such a bold move at the company entrance.
...
Lin Tian guessed correctly; Jiang Pan Die’s call was indeed about getting him to rehearse. After all, singing on stage and singing in a karaoke room are entirely different. Although Lin Tian was fully confident, Jiang Pan Die couldn’t possibly feel at ease.
Jiang Pan Die was somewhat upset with Lin Tian for hanging up on her, though she only grumbled a bit, considering she needed his help now, she let him off for the moment.
The rehearsal venue was at the arena. Honestly, this was Lin Tian’s first time here. The reason he hadn’t been before was... financial constraint.
Among many spectacular buildings in the world, the arena was one, with its unique shape and restrained elegance beautifully blending with Kanyue City’s urban landscape, truly magnificent.
Thinking of performing in such a place, Lin Tian really couldn’t quite process it.
At that moment, Jiang Pan Die and her team were already rehearsing on the stage, and Lin Tian watched from a distance. The girl he’d shared drinks and movie nights with just the other day was on stage like a little sprite, so beautiful it made passersby stop and admire from afar.
Suddenly, someone tapped Lin Tian’s shoulder, and a playful voice called out, "Hey! Long time no see!"
Lin Tian turned around to see a girl in a hip-hop torn denim outfit, with a bare face and a cheerful smile that was infectious.
"You’re here too," Lin Tian said with a smile, surprised but quickly realizing who she was.
The girl with the cheerful smile was Zhou Mi, still in her familiar hip hop attire. Even without makeup, she was easily comparable to Liou Qingcheng, being one of the top beauties of the school.
Lin Tian truly didn’t expect to see her here.
Zhou Mi’s smile gradually faded, and she softly said, "Aren’t we friends? I’ve been hanging out with Pan Die for half a year, and you didn’t know? You were the one who helped me get the job; otherwise, I’d still be worrying about finding work."
"Uh..." Lin Tian scratched his head, chuckling awkwardly, the feeling of being questioned was truly uncomfortable.
Zhou Mi felt a bit aggrieved inside but quickly repressed it. After all, they were just friends, not lovers, so his ignorance was understandable... If it were Liou Qingcheng, it definitely wouldn’t be this way.
"To show my gratitude, let me treat you to a meal, how about that?" Zhou Mi asked cautiously, afraid Lin Tian might refuse.
"Sure, but I want a grand meal."
"Sure, sure, a grand meal!" Zhou Mi nodded rapidly.
"You’re just the same as before," Lin Tian laughed.
"Same how?"
"Hmm... still the same, like a big sister type."
"Pfft..." Zhou Mi couldn’t help but laugh, "If you can’t compliment, don’t try. What big sister type? That was just some schoolyard mischief. But you’ve changed."
Lin Tian grew interested, "How have I changed?"
Zhou Mi sized Lin Tian up again, blinking, "You’ve gotten more handsome."
"Hmm, that’s the truth," Lin Tian nodded, this girl’s taste had gotten better and better.
"Shameless," Zhou Mi chuckled, "Alright, let’s chat more next time, Pan Die asked me to come get you, let’s go over there."
"Okay," Lin Tian nodded,
Actually, Jiang Pan Die hadn’t sent Zhou Mi to fetch him; it was just Zhou Mi’s excuse. She had racked her brains to come up with an excuse because suddenly appearing next to Lin Tian like that might make him think she was intentionally waiting for him, which would be embarrassing, wouldn’t it?
This was Zhou Mi overthinking; even if she hadn’t explained, Lin Tian wouldn’t have thought too much about it.
