High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

This year, we’ve encountered this kind of situation again.

"Man Boobs TV’s revenue is incredible right now, almost double ours. Quite a few of the major hosts have been poached by them, and our traffic is dropping significantly. Will this affect the IPO?"

"Man Boobs TV hasn’t gone bankrupt yet?"

"Huh?"

Xiangnu couldn’t understand why Li Yang always said this.

He said the same thing last time.

Why would they go bankrupt?

Now they’re listed on the US Stocks, with a market value exceeding four billion US dollars, and last year’s net profit reached six hundred million, this year it’s expected to grow even further.

"I mean, hasn’t anyone reported it? That guy Chen Jie is running online gambling."

Xiangnu asked, "Should we report it then?"

"Forget it, let’s wait until our company goes public first."

"Can we really go through with it? We’ve only been profitable for one year, and the profit is miserably low."

"We weren’t losing much before either. As long as the total profit exceeds ten million, we’re good."

"Isn’t that the minimum requirement?"

"That’s enough, enough. Just prepare to become a real ’rich lady.’ By the way, you’re so wealthy now, why don’t you hire some nannies?"

Li Yang has a reason for not hiring nannies; it would take away the chance for his parents to feel useful. He has to give the elderly couple some sense of presence.

Like Bai Qing, she understands how to enjoy life. When Chen Peipei was not around, she had at least two people taking care of her and never cooked for herself.

Later came Chen Peipei, plus Li Yang visiting often, so no arrangements were made.

"Learned from you, didn’t you also not have any?"

"I find it inconvenient, are you the same as me? What’s up, are you keeping someone outside? Changing them every day?"

"Then, are you keeping someone outside?" Xiangnu retorted.

Li Yang: "Yeah, otherwise why wouldn’t I hire a nanny."

In this aspect, Xiangnu indeed couldn’t outmatch Li Yang.

She could only bravely ask, "How many have you kept?"

"Including you, eleven. You’re ranked eleventh."

"Are you really counting all the group members?" Xiangnu widened her eyes.

"Otherwise? What do you think I go to Capital City for, if not to comfort the mistresses, and every time I come back, I end up being disliked by Jiang Banxia for a long time. Fortunately, you’re sensible and didn’t ask me to do anything, otherwise I’d be unable to explain myself again this time when I go back."

Xiangnu: "...You’ll end up dead with someone else sooner or later!"

She had always treated that matter as a joke, but it seemed like Li Yang was playing for real.

Li Yang casually said, "Live or die, why not choose a way to die that you like?"

"Hehe..."

Just like that, before she realized it, it was already two in the morning, when Xiangnu finally felt like sleeping.

Li Yang’s eyes had already closed long before, but he was pretending.

After all, he only slept three or four hours last night and worked a full day today.

Whenever Xiangnu thought of sleeping, she would instantly feel feverish.

So bizarre!

Once she woke up, she felt great, more energetic each time.

"I’m at 39 degrees now, do you want?"

Xiangnu groggily waved the thermometer in front of Li Yang.

Li Yang snatched the thermometer, placed it on the table, and pulled Xiangnu into the bedroom.

"Get some sleep first, talk about it after you wake up."

"Once I wake up, the fever will be gone."

"Then sleep first, I’ll sneak it later."

"No, sleep together!"

Xiangnu clung to Li Yang’s arm and wouldn’t let go.

Li Yang laughed and said, "Don’t you think Jiang Banxia’s man smells nicer?"

This statement scared Xiangnu so much that she quickly retracted her hand, burrowed into the quilt, and never brought up the matter again.

She still cared about her reputation.

When shameless behavior gets exposed, the first reaction is to hide.

Damn it! If this guy hadn’t said it, she could’ve shamelessly held on a little longer.

Li Yang poured a glass of water for Xiangnu and left it at the bedside, then quickly went to sleep in the next room.

...

From the early morning of the 6th day of the lunar month until the morning of the 9th.

After making breakfast, Li Yang started packing things up—laptop, protective gear.

Once Li Yang put on the protective gear, Xiangnu knew he was leaving.

During these days, she fully recovered without any sequelae, though she hadn’t had herself checked, so it’s unclear whether she tested positive.

"Be careful on the road."

"Huh?" Li Yang turned back to ask, "Aren’t you leaving with me?"

Now it was Xiangnu’s turn to be surprised, "Leave together?"

"What else? What are you going to eat here? Drink what? You should join me temporarily for some time."

"But doesn’t your house have kids? What if I bring the virus over, what then?"

"You wish. I’m not taking you to my house; stay at the company and isolate yourself with me properly. No going back without a month of isolation!"

Li Yang’s house has not only kids but also pregnant women.

He’s certainly not going to risk it.

To ordinary people, it might just be something to endure, but for pregnant women, the risk is too high.

"Alright, alright!"

Xiangnu immediately began packing her things.

She hadn’t thought about it before.

About half an hour later, after packing up, putting on protective clothing, and wearing masks, they left the house together.

Driving out of the community parking garage, when the security guard stopped them, Li Yang rolled down the window and said, "Hello, the two of us are heading to the hospital as volunteers, won’t be back for a while."

"?????"

After driving for quite a distance, Xiangnu finally spoke, "I thought you were going to say we’re fever patients."

"That’d just cause panic, no need."

The streets of Jiangbei were quite deserted, occasionally a car could be seen.

On the road, Li Yang called Ye Bingcheng, saying he’s about to hit the highway and leave.

Ye Bingcheng deliberately waited at the highway entrance, greeting from a distance, not getting close.
