Life Changing System

Bai Chen and Li Lin arrived at a clothing store on the second floor of Xing Yuan Department Store.

This store was for a premium fashion brand. The front of the store was beautifully and stylishly decorated.

There were about four to five customers inside. All were dressed in expensive outfits, be they guys or girls.

“You’re gonna shop for clothes here?” Bai Chen could not help but ask Li Lin because this clothing store was very luxurious and probably very expensive too.

Li Lin did not look at him but walked into the shop and said, “Yes. Follow me quickly.”

Bai Chen was helpless. He could only follow her into the store.

This store was full of many styles of clothing, just how it was meant to be.

Bai Chen snuck a glance at the price tag of one of the clothes and the colour drained from his face because the price tag was for 2,000 yuan!

He did not know whether to laugh or cry. His family earned 4,000 yuan at most; this merchandise cost half of his monthly household income.

“What are you standing there for? Come here quickly.”

Li Lin turned to look at him a little when she noticed that he did not follow her.

Bai Chen nodded. He decided to stop paying attention to the price tags here. He was not the one buying; Li Lin was. He knew her family's financial status. Buying clothes from this store must be nothing to her.

Li Lin was shopping around for clothes. Her eyes were sneaking glances at Bai Chen. If she had to guess, he must have never been to a clothing store like this one before.

“Bai Chen, you’ve never been to a store like this, right?” she asked.

“Never.” Bai Chen nodded. He did not plan on refuting that. “As you may already know, my family only owns a small Chinese steamed bun shop. How can I afford to shop at such an expensive place?”

Li Lin did not utter another word. She continued to look around.

She finally picked out three outfits and turned to Bai Chen. “I’ll try these on. I need you to comment on which one suits me.”

“Sure.” Bai Chen had no thoughts of refusing her. Li Lin was a very attractive girl. Seeing her in different outfits would make him very happy.

Li Lin led Bai Chen to the fitting area of the shop. There were four fitting rooms in total and all had curtains in place of doors. She stepped into one of the empty rooms and pulled the curtain shut.

Bai Chen just stood there, waiting for Li Lin to try on the clothes and step out for him to review them.

He was not waiting for long. The curtain parted, revealing Li Lin in a different outfit.

She was now wearing a white cotton dress that looked fashionable.

Bai Chen stared at her with wide eyes. He found her even prettier than when she was in the outfit she was wearing before.

“How’s this one?” Li Lin turned in a circle and asked.

Bai Chen calmed himself down and nodded with a smile. “This one suits you very well. You look really pretty in this dress.”

“Of course I do!” Li Lin blushed when she heard his compliment. She shut the curtain once more. Her face was still red, and her heart was racing in her chest.

‘What’s wrong with me?’ she could not help but ask herself. She had been having strange feelings towards Bai Chen since yesterday—after he had apologised to her to be precise.

‘Do I like this nasty guy?!?’

This thought immediately flashed into her mind. Her big round eyes widened, and her breathing quickened. But she quickly shook her head.

“Impossible! There’s no way I would fancy that guy!”

Li Lin quickly tossed away that crazy idea and changed into the second outfit that she had picked.

She did not realise that… previously, she had considered him the person she hated the most.

When the hatred had started to fade, some other feelings resurfaced.

It could be because she had been observing him for far too long, so it was not at all strange that she had started developing feelings for this boy.

After trying on two more outfits, Li Lin decided to buy all three of them.

She paid for the outfits and handed the paper bag with them in it to Bai Chen, her servant for the day. The boy took the paper bag willingly without saying any words of objection.

After they left the clothing store, Li Lin asked, “Are you hungry?”

“I’m not. Are you?” Bai Chen replied, then put the question back to her.

“Yeah.” Li Lin nodded. She had not had anything to eat since morning.

Bai Chen pondered things for a short while. He only had 95 yuan with him right now. He should be fine if he treated her to a meal.

But, of course, what he could buy for her had to be something cheap. He could not afford something expensive.

“Let’s go get some food then. There’s a place on the first floor,” said Bai Chen.

“Sure.” Li Lin nodded and went ahead of him. She made her way towards the escalator that led to the first floor.

Bai Chen followed her with the bag of clothes in his hand. It was not heavy at all for him because they were only light clothes.

Bai Chen and Li Lin soon arrived at an extravagant, expensive-looking restaurant.

“You’re gonna eat here?” Bai Chen was standing next to Li Lin in front of the restaurant. He could not help but ask her this.

Li Lin nodded without much care. “Yeah, I’m gonna eat here. Why? You don’t like it?”

“It’s not that I don’t like it, but I don’t have much money. I can’t buy you food here. Let’s go to a cheaper restaurant,” Bai Chen explained.

“You’re going to buy me food?”

Li Lin smiled faintly. This was quite unexpected. She’d thought that Bai Chen would expect her to treat him a meal since he knew she had a lot of money.

But her thoughts and reality were very different, so it was natural that all of this was unforeseen.
