Chapter 434: Chapter 272: A Marvelous and Fun Date

"But for now, let’s go get our blood tested first."

"Let’s take my car."

She took out her car keys, and the red little BMW instantly lit up. She personally pulled open the passenger-side door. "Get in."

Lin Chu glanced at her, hesitating slightly. After a moment’s thought, he got in.

To be honest, this strange sort of date was genuinely novel to him. He was also a little curious. ’What’s going to happen next?’

Bai Weiwei started the car, slammed on the gas, and they shot off like the wind.

「...」

On the way to the hospital.

"Alright, first, let’s introduce ourselves. I’m Bai Weiwei, 22 years old, a local. I went to elementary and middle school here in Dali, high school in Spring City, and university at Berkeley. I just graduated this year."

"I’m currently unemployed, just scraping by singing at my family’s little bar. Height 169 cm, weight 51 kg. As for my measurements, you can eyeball them yourself. I have to maintain some modesty."

"I own two properties, one in Spring City and one in Dali. Two cars, a little BMW and a little Audi. Savings... about eight hundred thousand or so. I don’t play the stock market and have no other investments."

"Hobbies... running, working out, singing, cooking. I don’t smoke and can’t stand the smell of smoke. I don’t usually drink, but thanks to good genes, my tolerance is pretty high. I can handle about a pint of the hard stuff, even the 53% kind."

"Your turn."

Bai Weiwei drove steadily, glancing at Lin Chu out of the corner of her eye, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The blush was gone from her ears now.

She had clearly settled completely into her role.

Lin Chu swallowed, his sharp Adam’s apple bobbing. ’Damn it, why am I suddenly getting flustered?’

It wasn’t that he was head-over-heels, nor was he turned off. He just found it amusing, but the slight panic was real too.

’She’s not actually serious, is she?’

’Fallen for me already?’

’No way.’

’This girl’s mind works in mysterious ways.’

His brows furrowed slightly. Acting on the principle of maximum politeness, and not wanting to embarrass himself in front of her, Lin Chu began his own calm statement.

"I’m 24, graduated from a second-tier university."

"As for hobbies, I have a lot. I don’t gamble or do drugs, but I’ve dabbled in a little bit of everything else."

Bai Weiwei glanced at him, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something.

But she swallowed her words.

However, after a second thought, she said it anyway. "Honesty. Here’s the deal. Since we’re on this topic, I’ll state one of my principles: you must be honest. Even if you’re a man who’s done every evil deed imaginable, it’s not like I can’t accept it. But you can’t lie to me."

"Have you... ever paid for it?"

she asked, her voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Lin Chu: ...

At that moment, he suddenly realized the biggest obstacle in his quest for "true love"—honesty.

Paying for sex and all that was secondary; it didn’t really matter.

But the reason he couldn’t be completely honest was mainly because of the source of his income: the System Panel.

Because of that, you could never fully trust a woman. Forget women, you couldn’t even tell your brothers or parents.

He was doomed to live his entire life burdened by a secret only he knew.

Although the System Panel brought him tangible benefits, in a way, it was no different from being a murderer on the run.

Stroking the puppy with both hands, Lin Chu chuckled. He wanted to light a cigarette, only to remember it had been thrown away.

"I have."

"But I quit later on."

Bai Weiwei hissed. "You’re disgusting. But go on. I’m not judging or offering any opinions."

Lin Chu chuckled. "What right do you have to be disgusted by me?"

"I said I wasn’t disgusted... You quit, didn’t you? A prodigal son’s return is worth more than gold. Keep talking."

Bai Weiwei said with a nonchalant smile.

"What else is there to say?"

"Income? Assets? Uh... that seems a bit more private, huh? Just tell me what you’re comfortable sharing."

This "honesty session" was actually quite pointed for Lin Chu. But the premise was that she had already laid everything bare. And whether she was asking or answering, Lin Chu could sense her sincerity and an indescribable sense of acceptance.

Overall, the atmosphere of the conversation wasn’t bad.

Besides, this was happening on a trip, almost completely disconnected from his usual life, so there was a palpable sense of relaxation and security.

"Probably around ten billion, I guess. The company... you can look it up in public records. Properties, cars, all that... I have two places in Xiangjiang, one in Peng City, one in Yang City. Way too many cars... I’ve ordered a private jet and a yacht, but they’re still being built. They’ll be delivered next year."

Lin Chu said, his tone remarkably casual.

Bai Weiwei: ...

Her eyes went wide.

"Why would someone like you still be looking for love?"

"You don’t deserve it."

"Oh, oh, oh, wait, no. It’s me. I don’t deserve you."

"How about I just turn the car around right now? Never mind, never mind. My apologies for bothering you."

At the upcoming traffic light, where she was supposed to go straight, she drove directly into the U-turn lane, preparing to head back.

Lin Chu: ...

This move left Lin Chu completely dumbfounded.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Hey, what the hell? Is it a crime for me to be rich now? Am I being discriminated against? Look, I want that ’one true love for a lifetime’ thing too! Isn’t that life’s greatest achievement?"

Bai Weiwei stopped at the red light. Hearing his words, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

"You can dream about it."

"But it’s not very likely."

"Let’s put it this way. However many times richer you are than an average person, that’s how many times harder it will be for you to find true love. You can never know what a girl is really coming to you for."

"Haha, no wonder you’re so unhinged... It must suck, right? Haha."

She even started mocking him.
