Life Changing System

Chapter 26 A Bet

Bai Chen took Li Lin to a much cheaper restaurant.

He escorted her to an empty table while calling over a waiter to order some food.

The boy ordered a few dishes without asking Li Lin’s opinion because if he let her order by herself, he thought it very likely that she would get the most expensive dish in this entire place, which he obviously could not afford. Thus, he resorted to not letting her order in the first place.

Li Lin did not care about this at all. The fact that Bai Chen was going to treat her to a meal alone made her slightly happy, so she did not care about the dishes and let him take care of things.

The waiter left to prepare food for them after they had finished ordering.

“You can eat the things I ordered, right? I ordered rice and a few side dishes.” Bai Chen asked Li Lin.

She smiled. “Of course, I can. You think I’m different from you?”

Hearing that made Bai Chen smile as well. Even though Li Lin was from a very wealthy family, she did not live a life so much different from a middle-class person like him. Otherwise, she would have rejected dining at this cheap place in the first place.

They did not have to wait for long. A few dishes along with two bowls of rice arrived.

“You’re hungry, right? Let’s dig in then.”

“I get it already.”

Both of them started eating. They did not spend much time eating. Barely thirty minutes later, both Bai Chen and Li Lin were full.

Bai Chen paid the bill and took Li Lin out of the restaurant. The cost of the whole meal was not much, only 40 yuan. Now, he had 55 yuan left.

“Where do you want to go next?” Bai Chen asked Li Lin after they had both left.

Li Lin stood there in silence for a little while to think before answering. “I want to check out the musical instrument zone.”

“Okay.” Bai Chen did not linger on the issue. He was willing to go wherever she’d take him anyway. Today was his first date, so he naturally wanted to please Li Lin.

The musical instrument zone was on the fourth floor of Xing Yuan Department Store. Both of them traveled up to the upper floors.

The fourth floor was indeed a music zone through and through. Wherever one looked, there was a shop that sold musical instruments.

“You play an instrument?” he couldn’t help but ask her.

“I play piano and violin,” she replied calmly.

Bai Chen was not expecting that. “I also play a bit of piano.”

“What? You?”

Li Lin’s beautiful eyebrows rose. Her facial expression was full of incredulity.

Bai Chen smiled a little when he saw her face. “You don’t believe me?”

“Who on earth would?!?” she said. “I don’t believe that you know how to play!”

Li Lin thought that Bai Chen would definitely not know how to play the piano. That was because a piano was really expensive. There would be no way he could have touched one. And if he had not, then how would he have learned how to play?

Even she had only one at her house; it was a really expensive one, though. The cost of it was 500,000 yuan.

Bai Chen also thought it was natural that she would not believe him, because he did not really know how to play.

Until he had gotten himself the low-grade piano skills. Now he was, without a doubt, someone who could play the piano, and on a professional level even!

“Let’s make a bet then?” Bai Chen smiled secretly in his heart and offered to make a bet.

Li Lin’s brows knitted slightly. “What sort of bet?”

He had to give this some thought, though. Even though he was the one who had made the suggestion, it was clear that he had not thought what the stakes for the bet would be yet.

A brief moment later, his eyes shone.

“If I can play the piano, you’ll let me kiss you. Deal? If I can’t, then you can do whatever you want with me,” Bai Chen said. The idea of kissing had suddenly popped into his head.

He remembered very well that he had never kissed anyone before. He wanted to give it a shot at least once in his life, so he said that to Li Lin.

Li Lin’s big round eyes widened. She stared at Bai Chen’s face with a shaky expression. Her cheeks flushed red.

“Y… you’re a pervert!” she said with a voice that trembled slightly. She was also a little angry.

,m “What? You don’t have the guts?”

Bai Chen thought Li Lin was very adorable when she was angry. He looked at her challengingly, though he felt slightly guilty that a 30-year-old man like himself was making this sort of bet with Li Lin, an 18-year-old girl.

He, however, thought that there was no choice—because Li Lin was just so pretty!

Furthermore, he also thought that he wanted to have a relationship with her for real. A person like him would never date her just for fun; he was thinking all the way to marriage.

Of course, all of these things could not be done now because the archenemies Wang Chengye and the Wang family, who had made his life no better than a living hell, still existed.

He had to take care of that first, then it would be the time for him to ask her out and look towards marriage. He did not know if she would agree to this though.

But that was what he was planning now!

“Who said I don’t have the guts? Sure, let’s make a deal! If you lose, you’ll be my servant until we graduate high school!”

Li Lin spoke with anger. Her face was still flushed a faint red. She was both angry and embarrassed, never having thought that this nasty person would turn into a pervert!

“Deal. Let’s head off to the piano shop then. Just asking to try out a piano would probably be allowed by the staff.” Bai Chen smiled an evil smile in his heart. He thought he was behaving exactly like the big bad wolf who was trying to lure Little Red Riding Hood into a trap.

“Let’s go! Who cares!” Li Lin calmed down and revealed her cute smile, though with a glint of evil in it.

She truly believed that she was going to win this bet and would get Bai Chen as a servant until she graduated high school. This made her quite happy.

The two of them walked towards a piano shop.
