Chapter 2 - Blind Date

At Bai Yue's Entrance

" Wow...who is that?"

"She looks like a model"

" Who designed the clothes, she's wearing"

"I have never seen that type of design"

"I have to buy the clothes"

Yes this "she" who was praised by the onlookers.....Song Xiaotong.

Originally, the new soul in Song Xiaotong's body was not from this time period but was from 10 years ago. When the world was flourishing with businesses.

The new soul in Song Xiaotong was originally Baili Yue from the distinguished Baili family that was in charge of the business industry including the fashion industry.

Baili Yue as the head of the Baili family brought the family to fame with her hard-working efforts and good deeds.

But when it was one day away from her wedding, Baili Yue was betrayed by her beloved and found out she had been given slow-acting poison for over 10 years, which made her health deteriorate but she never found out the reason until today.

Baili Yue eventually died due to depression and her health but God decided to repay her good deeds by letting Baili Yue's soul live a new life in Song Xiaotong's body, who was an orphan and was bedridden for three months.

It has now been I year since Baili Yue's soul in Song Xiaotong's body came to this world.

(Back to the present)

In the distance, Chen Xing waved towards Song Xiaotong. ''Tong-tong, over here''. As soon as Xiaotong heard that voice, she immediately knew it was Chen Xing.

Song Xiatong raised her head but furrowed her brows when she saw another person standing beside Chen Xing. Despite this, Song Xiaotong walked towards Chen Xing.

A few minutes later

Song Xiaotong stood in front of Chen Xing and that ''person'', and looked between both of them. Until Xiaotong took Chen Xing by the hand and walked to a secluded area.

Xiaotong looked at Chen Xing with a questioning gaze and said'' Who is that person? Didn't you ask for me to accompany you out? Why is there one more person?''.

While Chen Xing was trying to answer the question, she glanced at Song Xiaotong.

( A few hours back)

Sounds of the movement constantly filled the room

It is in the afternoon, and the sky was cloudy. Yet in an apartment, Song Xiaotong buried herself under heaps of work in front of a sewing machine.

She was working diligently and the proof in her hands showed that. As time ticked by, sweats dropped out of her forehead one by one which showed signs of overworking but she took no concern for her health.

She looked thin, perhaps sickly due to her lack of malnutrition, yet one could tell she was the true definition of beauty.

2 hours ticked by silently. It is now 7:00 pm.

'' Haa...I'm finally done''. Song Xiaotong stretched her body as she stood up to grab a bottle of water in the fridge.

While Song Xiaotong was drinking the bottle of water, a ringtone rang in the room causing Xiaotong to choke on the water. '' cough...cough...cough, who is calling me at this time of the day?''. Song Xiaotong said as she reached to her phone- clearly is not a peaceful mood.

On the other side of the line.

Chen Xing lies on the bed, with her hands on her phone, and a lollipop in her mouth.

Back to Song Xiaotong

As Xiaotong saw the name of the caller on her phone, she calmed her breath.'' Why are you calling''.

''Tong tong....don't be mean''. Chen Xing said shamelessly while pouting.

Song Xiaotong clicked her heels in annoyance.''' What do you want, you never call me my nickname unless you want something''.

'' Can you....''. Chen Xing hesitated between words.'' Can you accompany me out?''.

''It's late, I'm not going''. Xiaotong said as she was about to end the call.

Chen's eyes were filled with tears.'' please...pretty please''. She knew this will work because Xiaotong cannot resist her tears.

Xiaotong sighed '' Okay, When''.

Chen Xing immediately stood up and said '' Today at 9:00 pm. Meet me at Bai Yue Bar''. She paused as she recollected something.''Oh and remember to wear the dress, you said you were going to finish today''.

''Okay''. Xiaotong said as she checked the time.

It was 8:20 pm, just remains 40 minutes until 9: 00 pm.

(Back to the present)

'' I did ask for you to accompany me but a few minutes after our phone call, my boyfriend asked for me to accompany him, and I couldn't refuse him, so I ....Xiaotong paused my upcoming words and said'' Wait you have a boyfriend?''.

''Yes, I do''.

Song Xiaotong looked at Chen Xing up and down and said'' How long have you been together''

''It's been about 2 months'' Chen Xing said unsure of the date.

Xiaotong looked at Chen Xing in disbelieve and said '' and you didn't tell me?, what am I....''. Chen Xing stopped Xiaotong's upcoming word and said '' I will tell you about that later''.

''Then what I am doing here if you're on a date''

Chen Xing replied to Song Xiaotong happily and said '' Well, I thought that we could go on a double date together''.

''WHAT!'' Chen Xing stopped my words and shushed me. '' I DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND, don't you know, you've been my best friend for many years''.

Chen Xing shushed me again and said "I've already made plans for that, don't you worry''

''What plans?'' Xiaotong said and murmured : I hope this is not one of her tricks anymore, because every time she does this, my time is wasted at the end of the day that I could use on more designs.

Chen Xing said'' While I and Li Wei are on a date, Li Wei's friend named Bai Jun and you can go on a date together''.

'' WHAT'' Xiaotong said to Chen Xing

Chen Xing then replied '' We've been here for a long time, let's go back". "We've been letting Li Wei wait for a long time".

Song Xiaotong looked at Chen Xing and said "Fine".

Meanwhile with Li Wei

Li Wei went inside the bar to take a seat and murmured'' Why are they taking so long''

Right after saying that Li Wei got a text message from Chen Xing that says: "Everything is fine now".

Li Wei replied back in a text message which said: "Okay"

Fast forward to the Bar

Three people were sitting at a table with four chairs waiting for somebody.

One couldn't take it longer and said" Where is he"

Li Wei said" He will be here soon''

Xiaotong said" He better be"

After that Li Wei got a text message from Bai Jun that says: I've arrived''.

Li Wei replied back and looked at the two people across from him and said ''He's arrived''

Right after saying that, the Bar that seemed to quiet down was erupting with noises.

" Wow...who is that?"

"He looks like a model"

"He's wearing designer clothes"

"He's so handsome"

"My Prince Charming"

Excited giggles and squeals filled the Bar, especially from girls while the boys looked annoyed at the sight of this" mysterious" person.

Yet this man came to the table where Song Xiaotong and the others were sitting.
