Inside one of the classy restaurants in Beijing, Bai Chen was sitting at the table next to the window on the second floor. He was there alone and had not yet ordered any food because he was waiting for someone. That ‘someone’ was Li Lin.
It had been half an hour since he’d called her.
The reason why he had gotten here first was because he was closer to the restaurant. However, the one who’d suggested this place was Li Lin.
Bai Chen had only been in Beijing three times. He did not know any restaurants, and the very first time that he had been here was because he had been transferred to Beijing Central Prison. He had not had a chance to go anywhere since he had been stuck in there for 12 whole years.
Bai Chen silently waited for Li Lin. He could hear murmurs from the customers inside the restaurant that complemented the atmosphere.
“Bai Chen.” At that time, a small, cute voice sounded.
Bai Chen turned towards its source quickly. Then, he saw Li Lin.
She was in a beautiful short dress. Her smooth little hands were holding a small white leather bag.
“Li Lin.” Bai Chen smiled at her and got up from his seat to greet her.
Li Lin had a cute smile on her face. She sat down in the opposite seat from Bai Chen.
Bai Chen sat down while looking at Li Lin’s doll-like face.
There were mixed feelings in his heart. He was happy that he had gotten to meet with Li Lin, yet he was nervous that he had to confess that he did not have feelings for only her, but also for three women at the same time.
However, he still thought that his future self would help him one more time.
“What’s so important that it brought you here to see me in Beijing?” Li Lin asked curiously.
Bai Chen shook his head. “Let’s talk about that later. Have you eaten? Should we order some food?”
“Not yet. Ordering is a good idea.”
Li Lin did not push him into talking since Bai Chen did not want to talk about it. She nodded and smiled.
Then, they ordered two to three dishes and ate for about half an hour.
Once they were done eating, they paid for the food and walked out of the restaurant together.
Bai Chen and Li Lin walked together down the unfamiliar sidewalk. There were a great many cars driving past each other.
Beijing was actually a big and chaotic town.
“Let’s go sit over there.” Bai Chen saw a stone bench under a tree not so far away from them. He turned to Li Lin and made the suggestion.
She nodded and followed him. Not long after that, they were sitting on the bench.
The place behind them seemed to be on sale since there was a ‘For Sale’ sign in front of it. That was why not a lot of people walked past. It was quiet. Only the sound of cars could be heard here and there.
Bai Chen’s facial expression turned serious. He was sitting beside Li Lin and looking at her doll-like face. He tightened his fists. His heart pounded fast.
Judging from his actions, it was obvious that he had now decided to tell Li Lin his feelings just like what he had done with Long Xu In.
“Li Lin,” he called her.
“Mmmm.” Li Lin looked into Bai Chen’s eyes. Her heart raced when she saw Bai Chen’s serious face.
She felt that he was about to say something very important, so she paid extra attention to him.
However, before Bai Chen said anything, she suddenly felt disoriented because she could see images in her head all of a sudden.
She saw a beautiful woman die protecting Bai Chen!
There was not only one image, however. The first image changed to a different one.
It was not that different from the first one.
She saw another woman. She was very beautiful, though not as beautiful as the first one. She also died protecting Bai Chen, just like the first woman!
Suddenly, Li Lin’s whole world seemed to be shaken up. Her pretty round eyes widened. Her small body trembled madly!
At that time, she felt that her heat was being squeezed and that it was in pain. She could sense that the images that she saw were not illusions. They were the truth!
She did not know where she’d gotten this belief, but she believed in her feelings!
She did not notice the white shadow that had sent all those images into her head. It was, of course, a part of the future Bai Chen’s consciousness.
After that, the shadow blinked and vanished, and perhaps that would be the last time it would appear.
Bai Chen was about to tell Li Lin his feelings and about Xu Xue Ning and Long Xu In.
However, seeing Li Lin’s widened eyes and trembling body, he stopped and shook Li Lin’s delicate shoulders.
“Li Lin? Li Lin?” With Bai Chen’s voice and actions, Li Lin was woken from her reverie. She looked at him. Suddenly, her face broke into a sweat.
“What happened?” Bai Chen pulled his hands back from her shoulders and asked with concern.
“N…Nothing.” Li Lin quickly shook her head. She thought that it might be for the best not to talk about these mysterious, scary images that she had seen in her head because he might not believe her. He might think that she was insane.
Listening to Li Lin, Bai Chen did not push her into talking. He inhaled deeply before speaking with his serious voice.
“Li Lin, actually…”
Bai Chen told her everything. He told her about his feelings for her. He said that he liked her…and loved her. However, he was also in love with two other women, Xu Xue Ning and Long Xu In.
Li Lin was listening to him quietly. Then, her facial expression changed drastically. Her face turned pale. Her body trembled softly.
Bai Chen was worried. He was worried that Li Lin would not be able to accept it like Long Xu In and would choose to leave him.
He wished that his future self could help him. However, he could never have imagined that his future self had already helped him.End of Chapter 349
