Life Changing System

202 Hard to decide

It was Saturday morning. Bai Chen left the house at 10 a.m. after finishing up his daily routine.

He’d had a good night’s sleep last night. He did not care at all about the news of the Xi family or Xi Du’s death that battered the city like a storm.

It was only normal for him to feel that way because he was the one who had killed Xi Du.

There was no reason for him to care about wicked people like Xi Du.

The evil ones like those people were not any different from Wang Chengye. They dared to threaten his family, and that was the reason why he had not hesitated to kill Xi Du.

A member of a big family—so what?

Like what Bai Chen had said before, he had already been holding a grudge against the big families. To be more precise, it was more like one of them in particular!

There was no need for him to feel scared because he had sworn that he would kill Wang Chengye. He would erase the Wang family off the face of the Earth!

The reason why he’d left home early at 10 a.m. this morning was that he had an appointment. It was a rather surprising one, too.

The one who had arranged this appointment was Xu Xue Ning. She had called him last night at around 8 or 9 p.m. She had beaten around the bush for a bit before finally asking him to come to see her today. She’d told him that she had something important to say.

Of course, Bai Chen had accepted the invitation. He did not have anything to do anyway. The meeting place was Xing Yuan department store; that was why he had to take the subway.

It was about twenty minutes before he arrived.

Xing Yuan department store was the biggest one in Xing Zhou city. There were a great many people walking in and out of the building.

Bai Chen looked at the time on his phone and realized that he was there early. The appointment time was at 11 a.m.

The time now was 10:35 a.m. There were still many minutes before the meeting time.

Bai Chen looked around him. There was still no sign of Xu Xue Ning. Thus, he decided to walk around inside the department store.

He wanted to wait for Xu Xue Ning inside the building.

Who would have known that he would be obstructed by a certain someone at the entrance to the large department store?

This person was very familiar to him She was wearing a face mask, a pair of big sunglasses, and a knitted hat.

“Xue Ning?”

Even though her face was barely visible, Bai Chen recognized her. It was none other than Xu Xue Ning.

“E…Eld…er…Mr. Bai Chen.” Xu Xue Ning stuttered a little. She’d almost called him elder Chen Bai again.

“Have you been here long?” Bai Chen asked. He had not thought she would arrive before him.

Her outfit today was a simple one. She wore a knee-length black skirt and a white t-shirt, with a black, long-sleeved shirt on top.

Her figure was the same as ever. It was still beautiful, flawless, and incomparable.

Bai Chen had had a chance to meet Xu Xue Ning so many times. Thus, he had developed a slight immunity against her beauty.

But if she were to take off her face mask and sunglasses, he was afraid that no matter what sort of immunity he had, his heart would pound very hard anyway.

“I just arrived a short while ago,” Xu Xue Ning quickly answered.

But that answer was a lie. She had been waiting for half an hour to see him.

It was actually rare for her to wait for someone for as long as half an hour.

But this was Bai Chen. She had no problem with waiting, no matter how long, because he was a legend.

One of the legendary cultivators, one out of less than five people in China!

Moreover, it was maybe because of her personal feelings, too. The feelings that she had quietly developed for him.

She did not quite understand them.

“Is that so?” Bai Chen nodded. He did not think Xu Xue Ning would lie to him. “What is this important matter you want to talk about?”

“Let’s go talk inside. I’ve made a reservation at a restaurant for us,” Xu Xue Ning told him.

What she was going to talk about was very important to her, and it was hard for her to make a decision in regards to it.

Finally, she’d decided. That was why she had invited Bai Chen out to Xing Yuan department store today.

“Okay,” Bai Chen replied.

“This way, please.” Xu Xue Ning led him inside the building.

Less than five minutes later, they were at a restaurant. It was a rather luxurious one, too.

A waitress greeted them and led them inside the restaurant until they reached an empty table.

It was the table that Xu Xue Ning had reserved for them.

There was no one around. Other customers were sitting far away from them.

Bai Chen thought that maybe it was still early in the morning. That was why not so many people were there yet.

He probably could not have guessed that it was Xu Xue Ning who had reserved all surrounding tables too.

She had done this because she did not want to hear any distracting sounds while talking privately to Bai Chen.

Bai Chen and Xu Xue Ning sat down. Xu Xue Ning picked up the menu and handed it over to Bai Chen.

Bai Chen took the menu from her and started to read through it. He ordered some simple dishes. Xu Xue Ning did the same.

After the waitress had gone, they looked at each other in the eye.

“What is this important matter?” Bai Chen asked.

Xu Xue Ning inhaled deeply. Her heart beat faster. Not only was it a difficult topic, but it was also quite embarrassing.

An expression of a rare emotion appeared on Xu Xue Ning’s face. Her face slightly reddened.

It was a shame that Bai Chen did not get to see it as she was covering her face with a mask.

“I…I have something to ask of you!” She stuttered a little. Her hands were clasped together.

If they had not been at the public restaurant, she would have said something like: ‘I would very much like to beg you, elder Chen Bai!’

“You have something to ask of me?” Bai Chen raised his eyebrows. He did not expect her important matter to be anything like this.

Bai Chen was hoping that she would not ask him to protect her sect from sky-soaring cultivators again.

“Yes.” Xu Xue Ning nodded firmly. “This…I mean…I would like you to pretend to be my boyfriend!”
