Life Changing System

The next morning, Bai Chen got up early. He helped his parents get the shop ready and had breakfast with them. The boy then followed his usual routine and left the house.

It was eight in the morning when he left.

When he got up, he’d suddenly remembered that he’d left his bicycle at Xing Xiang Park, which meant he had to travel there on foot.

However, it was no problem at all for him since the distance was not that far. Long Xu In had also made an appointment to meet with him there, so it was all convenient.

About half an hour later, Bai Chen arrived at the park.

The first thing he did was to walk to the tree inside the park where he’d parked his bicycle.

When he saw that his bicycle was still there, Bai Chen felt relieved. No one had stolen it.

He did not walk over to get his bike, though, because he had to meet Long Xu In.

The meeting place she’d picked was the place where they had first met, at the long bench where she had been sitting absentmindedly on that day.

Many minutes later, Bai Chen arrived. He saw her sitting on the bench.

Long Xu In was not in a formal white suit today. She was wearing something simple: a pair of black skinny jeans and a white round-neck t-shirt.

No matter how simple her outfit was, her beauty still shone through. Long Xu In’s brown hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head.

The beautiful eyes behind the gold-framed glasses were staring at the screen of a phone from a luxury brand. She was browsing on her phone while waiting for him.

“You’re very late!”

When she heard a person’s footsteps, Long Xu In looked up. She stared at Bai Chen’s face with a slightly upset expression.

Bai Chen could only smile. “This is not late. It’s not even nine yet. You’re just early.”

“Why didn’t you come early to wait then?” she said.

“I don’t do that.” Bai Chen shook his head back and forth. “I like to be right on time.”

“Never mind then.” Seeing that it was useless to continue this line of conversation, Long Xu In decided to let the matter slide. “Have you eaten yet?”

“I have,” Bai Chen replied and asked back, “You?”

“Me too,” Long Xu In said. Her face took on a hesitant expression.

She was clearly reluctant about saying something.

Bai Chen saw this hesitation on her beautiful face, so he had to say something. “Xu In, do you have something you want to say?”

“I...”

Long Xu In did not know how to act when she heard his words. She obviously had something to say, and the topic made her hesitate.

But that did not last long. In the end, Lung Xu In decided to speak up. She took one deep breath and said, “I need your help with something.”

“What is it?” asked Bai Chen.

He was not too surprised because Mission 13 said he had to agree to her request, no matter what it was.

Bai Chen had no problem with this because he would get 20 points in return once the mission was done.

The woman hesitated again. She did not blurt it out right away. In the next moment, she started talking. “Tomorrow evening is the birthday of a grandpa I know. I have to attend the party.”

Bai Chen listened quietly without saying anything. But when he saw that she just stopped talking, he could only frown. “Just say it. Whatever it is, I’ll help.”

Hearing this made Long Xu In feel like a great weight had been lifted off of her chest. She blushed a little. She proceeded with a shaky voice. “I… I want you to accompany me to the party and pretend to be my boyfriend!”

Bai Chen’s eyes almost popped out when he heard that.

“P… pretend to be your boyfriend?!?”

He was clearly shocked. Bai Chen had never had this idea in his head—that Long Xu In’s request would be this ‘pretend to be my boyfriend’ thing.

“Why are you shocked? You should be happy!” Long Xu In said with a red face. From her words, she still thought that Bai Chen liked her romantically and was courting her.

He should feel happy at her request!

Bai Chen tried to calm down. He asked a question in an unsure manner.

“You really want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?”

“Yes.” She nodded without hesitation. Her face was still red from embarrassment. She had never asked anyone to do this sort of thing for her before.

Not being embarrassed was harder than China getting to play in the final World Cup.

“Or you don’t want to?” she asked.

“It’s not that.” Bai Chen shook his head hurriedly. “I can.”

How could he not agree to this? It was not a hard thing to do at all. He only had to play along and pretend to be her boyfriend.

If he had to guess why Long Xu In had made this request, it was probably because she wanted to use him to steer clear of someone.

This someone was probably none other than the wolves who would try to ask her out at the party she was going to attend.

“I knew you would say yes.”

Seeing him say yes, Long Xu In felt unexplainable happiness. She also felt relieved at the same time.

“What time will be it tomorrow and where? I have to get ready,” Bai Chen asked so he could prepare.

Long Xu In looked at him and replied, “The party will be at the ballroom of the Grand Xing Feng Hotel.”

“The Grand Xing Feng Hotel?” Bai Chen tried to think of where he had heard that name before.

He suddenly realized that this Grand Xing Feng Hotel was the biggest and most luxurious hotel in Xing Zhou City.

“Yes.” Long Xu In nodded. “The place for tomorrow is the Grand Xing Feng Hotel.”

Bai Chen had never been to that hotel. However, he did not feel at all panicked about it, the biggest hotel in the city, because he had zero interest in it.
