After leaving the shop, Bai Chen walked back to the front of the station.
The area was still crowded. He was standing by a pole, waiting for Li Lin to arrive.
It was almost ten in the morning, but Li Lin was nowhere to be seen.
Bai Chen had not thought much about this, though. He knew that girls tended to arrive later on a date than guys.
When it was exactly 10 o’clock, Bai Chen saw a girl walking towards him.
She was wearing a black dress with so white stripes on it. There was a little bit of makeup on her face, which made her look even cuter. She was also carrying a fabric tote bag with her.
This girl was none other than Li Lin. Her shoulder-length hair fluttered slightly with the gentle breeze, making Bai Chen stare at her with wide eyes. He felt that Li Lin was even prettier than when she was at school.
“Have you been waiting long?”
That was the first question that Li Lin asked. She stopped in front of Bai Chen, amid passionate stares from all the n nearby.
When they saw that she was eting Bai Chen, their faces crumpled. All of them felt that he was completely out of her league, like a beautiful flower stuck in a pile of dung.
Bai Chen did not know that he was being cursed at by n in front of Xing Xuan Station. He snapped back to his normal state and smiled at her. “I’ve just arrived, too.”
“Oh? That’s fine then,” she said casually. Li Lin did not seem to care if he had arrived a long ti ago or not.
Then, she saw that he was holding a white rose in his hand.
“Who is that for?”
“For you, of course.” Bai Chen smiled faintly and offered her the rose. “I hope you’ll accept this.”
Li Lin’s pretty round eyes showed a faint sign of happiness before it quickly disappeared. She let out a ‘hmmph’ before taking the flower. “Fine. I’ll accept it then.”
Ding!

A sound rang in Bai Chen’s head along with a mission-accomplishnt window popping up He did not pay attention to it and quickly tapped to close it because right now, he was only focusing on the date with Li Lin. Bai Chen did not even check out the new mission.
“Where should we go?” he asked.
“Of course, it has to be the Xing Yuan Departnt Store. Have you forgotten that you have to be my servant today when I shop?” Li Lin said in an adorable manner.
Bai Chen nodded fervently. “Right, right. Let’s get going then.”
“Hmm.” Li Lin nodded as well. She put the white rose in the tote bag she was carrying.
Then, the two of them entered Xing Xuan Station. The functionality of this place was quite clear… from what its na suggested.
Xing Xuan Station was the biggest underground station of Xing Zhou City, and Xing Yuan Departnt Store was the biggest shopping mall in the city, as well.
The fact that the mall was located many kilotres away from the station ant they had to travel by tube.
Having bought their tickets, Bai Chen and Li Lin entered the underground train, which was very crowded. Today was probably a day off for most people, so the train was packed.
“Don’t co too close.” Li Lin blushed as she said that.
Bai Chen could only smile wryly. “What can I do? It’s so crowded in here.”
Li Lin had her back against the wall of the train, and Bai Chen was leaning against the wall with his two arms to support his body. The girl was locked in the middle.
Their faces nearly touched. They were breathing on each other as well. Bai Chen's expression changed sowhat when he caught a whiff of Li Lin's scent.
“D-don’t you dare do weird things, or I’ll never forgive you!” Li Lin warned him in a shaky but stern voice. She feared that Bai Chen would take this opportunity to kiss her.
Of course, Bai Chen was not that kind of guy. He quickly nodded. “Don’t worry. I won’t kiss you.”
“Good,” she replied and turned her face to the side. Both of her cheeks flushed, making her appear very appealing.
Barely twenty minutes later, Bai Chen and Li Lin got off the crowded tube. They did not waste ti and made their way to Xing Yuan Departnt Store.
Xing Yuan Departnt Store was a huge mall with all kinds of products and services, from ho appliances and food to entertainnt venues like a movie theatre, a skating rink, and many more things.
“What are you going to buy?” Bai Chen could not help but ask Li Lin.
They were now inside the mall that was buzzing with people who were walking here and there to shop.
She turned to look at him a little. “I want clothes.”
“Clothes. If my mory hasn’t failed , it should be on the second floor,” said Bai Chen. The last ti he was at Xing Yuan Departnt Store was back when Wang Chengye appeared at the Xing Seng Business District.
“Then, what are you loitering here for? Go.”
“I know, I know. But this is a date, right?”
“It’s not a date! Haven’t I told you that?!?”
While going up an escalator to the second floor of the mall, Bai Chen could not help but ask Li Lin about the date. The result was that she appeared mad and had a flushed face, which was very cute to see.
Bai Chen had never dreamt that he would have this sort of mont. Going on a date with Li Lin, a girl who was as cute as a doll, made him feel like he was falling in love with her.
“First love?” Bai Chen said softly with a smile. He thought it would be very nice indeed to be in a relationship with Li Lin for real.
