Life Changing System
44 An assassin
Li Lin stared at her phone screen, seeing for the first time the face of this Xi Dong her parents were matchmaking her with. She found him very handsome.
But his handsomeness did nothing to make her like him more. She only felt indifferent.
“Look.” Li Lin looked up and showed her phone screen to Bai Chen.
The boy took the phone. When he saw Xi Dong’s good looks, his expression became slightly sorrowful, because he could not compare to the other party in terms of appearance.
He looked up at Li Lin and asked once again with hesitation, “You… you don’t like him?”
“No,” Li Lin answered immediately. “I don’t like him.”
“That’s good then,” Bai Chen sighed. If Li Lin liked Xi Dong, then there was nothing he could do, even though he fancied her.
“You’ve seen his photo. How are you going to help me?” she asked.
Bai Chen smiled mysteriously. “You want to know?”
“Yes, I do.”
“I can’t tell you yet. But I can assure you that your parents will give up the idea of matchmaking you with this Xi Dong.” He knew Xi Dong’s name from the Baidu search tab, so it was not odd that he would say Xi Dong’s name.
“Liar!” Li Lin got up from Bai Chen’s bed. Her face was extremely angry. “You must be lying!”
It was obvious that she did not believe Bai Chen, which was also not strange. From her perspective, even she could not do anything. How could Bai Chen convince her parents to change their minds?
“Let’s make a bet, then?” Bai Chen did not tell her how he was going to pull it off but chose to make a bet with her instead.
“What kind of bet?” she asked. Her beautiful brows knitted together, and her pretty face appeared suspicious.
“A kiss,” Bai Chen said with a smile.
“Oh, you!” Li Lin’s face reddened when she heard the word. She suddenly thought of yesterday when Bai Chen had kissed her. The girl’s face grew hotter without her being able to do anything about it.
“Will you make a bet?” Bai Chen smiled and asked.
Li Lin pondered it for a while with a blushing face. In the end, she nodded. “But if you lose, you’ll have to be my servant for half a year!”
Having said that, it was obvious that she did not believe Bai Chen would win this bet; she expected him to be in her service for half a year.
“No problem.” Bai Chen smiled. He nodded without hesitation because no matter what, he would definitely win this bet.
Bai Chen could not help but think of kissing Li Lin’s soft, sweet lips again.
He shook his head slightly to snap himself out of his thoughts. After checking out Xi Dong’s information and finding out that the guy was from one of Beijing’s big five families, his expression changed a little.
But it changed back to normal very quickly. Bai Chen already did not like people from the big families in Beijing much. Now, he was determined to make Li Lin’s parents hate this Xi Dong guy to the core of their beings!
He gave the phone back to her.
Li Lin took the phone and logged out of Baidu. Suddenly, she saw two messages. She scanned them and saw that they were notifications for missed calls.
There were five from her dad and ten from her mum.
However, she did not care about them and turned off her phone.
“Rest here. I’ll go get you water,” Bai Chen said. He then left Li Lin alone in his room.
After the boy left, Li Lin started to navigate her way around his room.
“This is Bai Chen’s bedroom…” she muttered with a blushing face. Li Lin found the whole place permeated with his scent.
...............................................
Many hours later, the clock struck seven in the evening. Bai Chen secretly left the house without his parents or Li Lin taking notice.
At 6 o’clock, he, his parents, and Li Lin had had dinner together.
When he told them that she was going to spend the night, his parents had panicked, fearing that he would do something with Li Lin before marriage.
But his parents said yes. It was just that Bai Chen would have to sleep with his dad downstairs, while Li Lin would sleep with his mum upstairs.
Bai Chen did not have a problem with this. He nodded in agreement with a smile.
Now, he found himself at the entrance of Xing Seng Business District. Though it was only seven in the evening, most shops had already closed up for the day.
The road was lit here and there with lamp posts, making the night not very dark.
The reason Bai Chen had to sneak out from home at this time was that he wanted to shapeshift into Xi Dong and cause trouble for Li Lin’s parents. He was trying to get them to change their minds about matchmaking Li Lin with Xi Dong.
As for the mission in which he had to talk with a mysterious woman, Bai Chen decided to do it after he settled this matter regarding Li Lin’s marriage.
A few moments after the boy reached the entrance of the business district, he walked to the bushes where he’d taken care of Ba Guan’s gang, then looked around a little just to make sure that no one saw him.
He had to find a place where no one would take notice because he had to use the stargazing walker skill.
Bai Chen planned to use the stargazing walker skill to go to Li Lin’s house, which was far away from here.
The idea of using the stargazing walker skill made Bai Chen very excited because he would get to walk in the air for the first time in his life.
He did not want to waste time, so Bai Chen prepared to use the stargazing walker skill right away.
However, before the chance to do that arrived, a creepy laugh sounded.
“Hahaha! I never thought that a mighty assassin like me, Hu Tong, would not have to break into a house to kill someone.”
That voice made Bai Chen’s expression change. He quickly spun around and found a man in a black robe approaching from behind the bushes.
“Who are you?” he asked in a serious voice.
“Who am I?” Hu Tong stopped in his tracks and said this scornfully with a cold smile.
“Of course, I’m the person who’s going to take your life!”
“Take my life?” Bai Chen said. He did not seem even a little bit scared, just cautious.
“Yes, I’m Hu Tong. I was given an order to kill you for daring to challenge the White Tiger Gang!” Hu Tong grinned and said this with a cold voice.
