Life Changing System-Chapter 13 Rage
Bai Chen slowly turned around to look at the genius lady. Her face was extremely solemn at this moment. “What’s the matter, sister? Change of heart?”
“How… how did you know that I was going blind?” the genius young lady asked. Her cold gaze was locked on Bai Chen’s face, though what she was seeing was quite blurry.
Her mind was filled with suspicion and panic. She wondered how this young man had discovered that she was losing the ability to see, because she had not told anyone about this, not even her parents. She was the only one who knew.
Her reason for not telling anyone was that she did not want anyone to worry.
So, when Bai Chen told her that he knew she was going to lose her vision, how could she not be suspicious? Panic and incredulity rose up within her as well.
She might have believed this man was stalking her if she had known him previously. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m
Bai Chen blinked several times. He looked at the genius woman and smiled a little.
“I’m a fortune teller, sister. Just checking your destiny a little is not a hard thing for me.”
The woman turned quiet. She did not say anything for many seconds. Her eyes remained locked on Bai Chen, not knowing if he had lied or told the truth.
She did not know him, so she was not sure how trustworthy this man was.
Above all, she thought he was approaching her with a romantic interest. If he had not mentioned her going blind, she would not even have spared him a glance.
“Sister, if you don’t have anything more to say, I’ll have to excuse myself. It’s half past five now. I won’t be home on time for the evening TV drama,” said Bai Chen.
Of course, he did not really want to go home now. He only wanted to spur her on a little.
Bai Chen wanted her to ask him to tell her fortune, for which he was going to say random things and give her the magic glasses. Afterwards, he was planning to tell her that fate had brought them together.
The genius lady showed hesitation on her face. “You can really predict the future?”
“Of course. If you let me check your fortune, you might not go blind.”
His words were like adding fuel to the fire. The woman’s body shook a little, though she still did not believe what he said.
Even a famous physician could only give her an eye transplant; how could a mere 18-year-old young man have a better way to cure her blindness?
He was clearly just making things up. There was no way she was going to believe him!
“Fine then. You can give it a try and tell me my fortune.” But in the end, she gave in to her curiosity. The lady accepted Bai Chen’s offer to tell her fortune as she wanted to know what he was going to say about her future.
Bai Chen smiled at her before walking over to sit beside her. This time he chose to sit very close to her, with only a hand’s length of distance between then.
This made the genius lady frown. She glared at him with icy cold eyes. “What are you doing?”
“I’ll have to read your palm. How can I check your fortune if I’m far away from you?” Bai Chen explained calmly.
He had seen several shows featuring famous fortune tellers, so he knew that there were several ways to tell someone’s fortune. Palm reading was one of them.
To boost his credibility, Bai Chen had to sit close to her.
The genius lady remained silent, though her eyes and demeanour were enough to express her displeasure that he was sitting so close.
“Show me your palm. I won’t take long. And for a beautiful lady like yourself, I won’t charge you for my services either. Usually I’m quite expensive though,” Bai Chen told her with a smile.
He was also trying to behave himself. Sitting this close to her, he was able to breathe in her sweet smell, which made his heart beat fast and threw his emotions into a turmoil.
He felt that it was very not befitting for a 30-year-old man like himself to lose his cool just because of a sweet scent coming from of a woman, who happened to be many years younger than him.
However, he was not to blame. Bai Chen had never been close to a woman before, much less a beautiful one.
The genius woman frowned a little. She felt that she did not like this boy for some reasons, but she still did as she was told, extending her silky pale palm towards him.
Bai Chen looked down at her pale delicate hand. He found it very beautiful, and if he could touch it, it would definitely be very soft. The boy shook his head to push away impure thoughts.
After reading her palm for a few moments, he looked up to meet her cold gaze and said in a neutral tone of voice, “Sister, your luck is indeed good. You’re not going to go blind.” ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢
“Don’t be ridiculous! Are you just messing with me?”
The woman erupted into anger at Bai Chen’s words. She felt that it was indeed a mistake to let him tell her fortune. He was only spewing nonsense out of his mouth.
How could it be that she was not going blind? Everything was so obvious that it did not require a second thought… his words were just rubbish!
Bai Chen was not at all surprised by her wrath. Anyone would have been as angry as she if caught in a similar situation.
He did not say anything, merely pulled the beautiful gold-framed glasses out of the pocket of his jacket. He stood up and at the same time, prepared to hand them to her.
