Chapter 1 Change

It was already six in the evening when Lin Chen logged off.

Tomorrow was Monday, the day to return to school.

However, there weren't that many courses in college, especially for someone like Lin Chen, who was just planning to get his diploma. Taking leave was a common occurrence for him. He planned to order dinner first, and then call his class advisor to ask for leave.

With the upheaval just two weeks away, attending class was pointless in Lin Chen's eyes.

As soon as he put down his phone, it rang.

Lin Chen looked and saw it was an unfamiliar number. He answered, and a voice came from the other end: "Is this Lin Chen? My name is Bai Haisheng."

"Oh... Uncle Bai, hello!"

Lin Chen was stunned for two seconds before he remembered that Bai Haisheng was the one who bought his house. The agency said the transfer wouldn't happen until tomorrow. Why was Bai Haisheng contacting him now?

Could something have changed?

Lin Chen's first reaction was to look back at his gaming helmet.

If things really changed, he definitely couldn't return the money. That only left one option... grab the gaming helmet and run!

Buy a plane ticket, change cities, find a hotel room, and wait out the next couple of weeks.

"It's like this," Bai Haisheng's voice continued, "I originally bought this house for my daughter, but she's never left home before, and your place is a strange city for her. So, we were hoping that after she arrives, you could go through the transfer process, but after the formalities are completed, Lin Chen, don't rush to move out. Could you stay there for a few days and help look after my daughter?"

So that's what it was!

Lin Chen was puzzled.

How could there be such a good thing?

For Lin Chen, this was definitely a stroke of luck.

As long as he continued to live here, Brother Hu, who he borrowed money from, wouldn't come looking for trouble.

The key thing was, how could this stranger, Bai Haisheng, be willing to let his daughter live with a strange man?

That was what puzzled Lin Chen the most.

He couldn't figure it out.

Finally, Lin Chen thought... could Bai Haisheng's daughter actually be a hideously ugly dinosaur?

That's why Bai Haisheng wouldn't worry at all about her living with him.

That must be it!

Lin Chen readily agreed, and even politely said goodbye before hanging up.

Shanghai, in a villa.

Bai Haisheng, who had hung up the phone, looked at his daughter Bai Shuyi beside him and said, "He sounds like a polite kid, but no matter how polite he is, he's still a man. Are you really going to go and live with him?"

Feeling her father's strange gaze, Bai Shuyi said, annoyed, "Dad, can you stop being so feudal! What era is this? Isn't it normal for men and women to share a house? Seriously! I'm going back to my room!"

"This girl..."

Bai Haisheng looked depressed.

His daughter was all grown up, and he couldn't control her anymore!

Today, she suddenly requested to share a house with the original owner, saying that having more people living together would provide mutual support. But in Bai Haisheng's view, that definitely wasn't the reason...

Could it be that his daughter knew this Lin Chen?

And she wasn't afraid of living with him, alone...

Could it be?

Thinking about it, Bai Haisheng suddenly smiled like an old aunt.

Good!

This daughter, who had a personality like a man since she was a child, and even had a girlfriend in middle school, finally knew the good of men?

Back in her room, Bai Shuyi immediately dialed a phone number. After it connected, she said, "Hehe, Yao Yao, he agreed. Let me tell you, because of your business, my dad misunderstood me. You have no idea how Old Bai was looking at me just now... Hehe, how are you going to repay me?"

"I'll give him to you, do you want him?"

From the other end of the phone came Liu Mengyao's voice.

"Tch, I don't care!"

Bai Shuyi said, annoyed, "You're the one to talk. Back in middle school, didn't we agree to be together for life? But now, you've actually gone to find a man, hmph!"

"You can go find one too, am I stopping you?"

When Liu Mengyao talked to Bai Shuyi, it was completely different from how she was with Lin Chen in the game. Liu Mengyao in the game was very gentle, but when she faced Bai Shuyi, her words were sharp and unforgiving.

Bai Shuyi was speechless, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, you wait, when I see him, I'll definitely beat him up!"

"You can't beat him, you can't beat him in the game either."

Liu Mengyao retorted once again.

Then Bai Shuyi hung up the phone. She packed her things and came to the living room, saying, "Dad, I'm driving to Longhai myself! I want to drive my limited edition car!"

"Whatever!"

Bai Haisheng didn't even raise his eyelids.

But, after Bai Shuyi went downstairs, he came to the stairs and watched his daughter's back for a long, long time, his eyes full of reluctance... But Bai Haisheng still resisted and didn't call out.

His daughter was already in college, it was time for her to leave home and fly on her own.

From Shanghai to Longhai, it was only a three-hour drive. Bai Shuyi could leave whenever she wanted, and Bai Haisheng didn't stop her. He also didn't notify Lin Chen. So, when Lin Chen finished his takeout and was browsing the latest game announcements on the game forum, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

Lin Chen said impatiently, "I already got my takeout. That must be for someone else, see if you delivered it to the wrong place!"

As a homebody, Lin Chen's house never had anyone knocking on his door except for delivery people.

As a result, a woman's voice responded to him: "Excuse me, is this Lin Chen's house? My name is Bai Shuyi, Bai Haisheng's daughter."

Bai Haisheng...s daughter?

Damn!

Wasn't she coming tomorrow?

Lin Chen looked at the time, ten o'clock at night.

Good heavens, she came in the middle of the night?

Lin Chen opened the door.

As a result, what greeted his eyes wasn't some dinosaur, but instead a great beauty!

Long, straight black hair, delicate features.

In addition, she had a figure like a Korean manga character...

This figure, wasn't even inferior to the cat-eared girl Aqi in the game!

"You... you're Uncle Bai's daughter?"

Lin Chen expressed some doubt.

Mainly, he couldn't figure it out. Instead of a dinosaur, it was such a great beauty who was actively delivering herself to his door!

Bai Haisheng, how dare he!

"What, aren't you going to let me in?" Seeing Lin Chen looking dazed, Bai Shuyi was a little angry... Liu Mengyao didn't even play games with her anymore because of him?

"Oh, please come in!"

Lin Chen came back to his senses and let Bai Shuyi into the house, then asked with a smile, "Why did you come to Longhai so late?"

"I drove myself!" Bai Shuyi responded, while curiously looking around the house.

"You drove here?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

A family that could buy a three million house in one go, the car they drove should be very nice, right?

This car...

Could he maybe get his hands on it?
