High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 100 - 99: I’ll Give You This Lighter Too

Yang Shanshan handed the phone to Bai Qing and said, "Got it, that guy is definitely showing his true colors!"

Bai Qing helplessly took the phone. She was about to go to sleep, but Yang Shanshan was still unsettled and took her phone to send a message to Wu Tianqi, saying it was to let her see the real face of Li Yang.

"Shanshan, everything I’ve done is voluntary. Regardless of whether he contacts me or not, I’ll go over later. I won’t play him."

"Why would you do it voluntarily? That guy only meets your demands when there are people around. Doesn’t he treat you like a stranger otherwise? I’m not even talking about his hypocritical side, but with such a cold personality and money-spinning face, what do you see in him?"

"Haven’t I said it before? It has nothing to do with him. It’s my own choice. I will do my best to pursue what I like. I know better than anyone that he doesn’t have feelings for me, but so what? How would I know I’d fail if I don’t try? Should I regret it in the future when I think about this?"

Yang Shanshan: "But you can wait for the future... you’ll definitely meet someone better."

"No, I won’t find anyone I like more than him. You hurry up and sleep..."

"No, I want to keep an eye on it. That guy might be waiting around undressed like a thief for you, and if he dares to reply saying you can’t go, I’ll consider him still having some conscience, only scamming money, not the body."

Bai Qing: "..."

Testing someone like this, how many men can withstand such a test?

"You hurry up and sleep, don’t worry about this, when we get back I’ll give you a raise, be good..."

After Bai Qing finished speaking, she was about to get up to change clothes.

Yang Shanshan asked, "Why are you changing clothes?"

"You made the decision for me, I have to go over."

"You’re simply crazy!"

Bai Qing replied calmly, "It’s not me who’s crazy, but this kind of test on human nature is not good."

Just then, she picked up the clothes beside her, and the phone buzzed with a message.

It was from Li Yang.

"Temporarily not accepting sleepover services!"

Upon seeing it, she immediately handed the phone to Yang Shanshan: "See for yourself what he said."

Yang Shanshan took a glance, a little surprised.

She had sent it to Wu Tianqi, meaning Li Yang could completely pretend he didn’t know and wait for Bai Qing to go over peacefully.

Even if Bai Qing didn’t go, nothing would be awkward.

She glanced at Bai Qing, with that face and figure, it would be tough to find another woman like that. Would any man not be moved?

Even as a woman, with a normal sexual orientation, I’m crazy about her, a touch could make me happy for half a day.

"Maybe he’s pretending on purpose."

So Yang Shanshan replied, "I just want to go! I’m so lonely, I really want you to hold me..."

Seeing Yang Shanshan’s actions, Bai Qing hurriedly asked, "What are you doing again?"

"Seeing if the guy is pretending."

In the next second, Bai Qing snatched the phone away, didn’t even change her clothes, and walked straight out.

Li Yang was currently in a debate with Wu Tianqi.

At this moment, Wu Tianqi, during the debate, gradually fell into a disadvantage and broke down mentally.

"You can call me uncle-in-law if you like, help me get Mei’s QQ or WeChat, otherwise, I’ll threaten to die!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Li Yang replied, "Hold on, I’ll go open the door."

Li Yang opened the door to find Bai Qing, in her pajamas, standing cheerfully at the entrance.

It was summer, so the pajamas were silk, and Bai Qing wasn’t wearing any undergarments, the silhouette of her figure...

"What are you running over here for?"

"Hehe, feeling lonely..."

???

Li Yang: "I thought it was from Yang Shanshan."

Bai Qing widened her eyes, "How did you guess?"

"Who else would do something so boring? Besides, the way you talk dirty isn’t like that at all, you’d probably say... you wish there was a man beside you while her way is like wanting to be flirty but failing."

Bai Qing: "..., hehe, then let me in quickly."

"Sure, just when I was about to video call Wu Tianqi."

"Come, let me chat with him..."

Li Yang moved aside to let Bai Qing in.

Actually, from the moment Wu Tianqi conveyed that message, he knew it wasn’t from Bai Qing.

Bai Qing wouldn’t say such things face-to-face, even with just a wall between.

She usually only says such tempting things when there’s almost no chance of meeting.

From the four changes in her attitude and intensifying efforts, you can see she’s cautious.

It’s just that she’s ready to go all-in now, while he hasn’t made a move yet.

The video started, the camera quality wasn’t great, making the picture appear pale. When Wu Tianqi saw Li Yang and Bai Qing together late at night, and Bai Qing in pajamas, his face turned pale.

It was a kind of desperation, resignation.

The video lasted only two seconds before Wu Tianqi turned it off.

Subsequently, Wu Tianqi sent a message: "Uncle, if I can’t get Mei’s contact information, I’ll really die tomorrow to show you!"

Li Yang showed the chat record to Bai Qing and asked, "What should we do?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it for him."

With that, Bai Qing sat directly on Li Yang’s bed.

Li Yang took off his T-shirt and lay on the bed, saying, "Come on, you have four million from me, I won’t resist."

Bai Qing was stunned for a moment, pinched Li Yang’s pecs, leaned on his shoulder, and asked, "Honestly, if I give you another thirty million, can that win you over?"

Li Yang didn’t speak.

Not to mention thirty million, even just over a million shattered his determination.

In his past life, Xue Ning spent a few thousand yuan on him, and that was enough for him to feel she was the most worthwhile woman he’d met.

"I really don’t have much money left, just an old house in the Capital City, probably worth three or four million now, and a place in Modu, a bit more expensive, maybe six or seven million. There are two more houses in the county, and one in Jiangbei that’s not renovated. Other investments have mostly been supplemented to the company over the years, just a villa and some gold jewelry left, and look... I don’t even have any jewelry necklaces..."

"Aren’t you going to study in the Capital City? I bought a house there early, back when there were no purchasing restrictions. Now if you sell it and try to buy again, it’ll be much harder. Once you’re able to buy a house in the Capital City in the future, how about I give you that house?"

"I’m already planning to list the one in Modu..."

Li Yang sighed and said, "Don’t sell it. Forget it, tomorrow I’ll return all the money you gave me. I don’t want it anymore."

Li Yang initially thought he could take this money with a clear conscience, and even if he played dumb for a few months, he could pay it back once he made some money.

He grabbed his clothes, pulled out the room card, and walked straight out.

At the doorway, Yang Shanshan saw Li Yang coming out while putting on his clothes and was shocked.

So young, and finished so quickly?

When she walked into the room, she found Bai Qing sitting by the bed with her eyes brimming with tears.

"Qingqing, what’s going on?"

Bai Qing rarely cried, and she always appeared optimistic and cheerful.

In Yang Shanshan’s eyes, she was carefree by nature.

Something especially major must have happened to make her cry.

...

Li Yang searched near the hotel for a long time before finally finding a convenience store.

Then, he found a spot by the roadside to squat down.

The moment he squatted down, another figure squatted next to him.

"I knew you’d look for a convenience store and followed the map here. Sure enough, I found you."

"Where the hell else could I go? My bag’s at the hotel; I can’t exactly walk all the way home."

Bai Qing chuckled; it seemed that understanding Li Yang made her happy,

She said, "Do you really lack money?"

"Duh, who on earth doesn’t lack money? Without money, you’re an idiot."

"You’re about to get into Jing University; such a good stepping stone, you’ll have a platform to shine in the future. Even if things don’t go your way, it’s not like you’ll have no money."

"Isn’t it different? Jing University’s dropout rate is four percent. I crammed for a month and got lucky; that’s the only reason I got a score. Competing with geniuses from Qingbei, how do I have any advantage? I lack the basics. Some of them got into Qingbei in high school and have been auditing classes for years. They’ve all participated in various competitions; their brains must be unique. I’d just be fodder. Study hard for half a year only to get expelled? Who would want me then?"

Li Yang had long thought that to survive in Jing University, he’d have to repackage himself.

Of course, money was still the most crucial element!

Even if he didn’t package himself well and got expelled, he wasn’t worried.

Jing University recruits a lot of students each year, but most like him are fodder, Jiang Banxia included.

The real stars are the recommended, special plan recruits, various talent classes, and exceptional program classes.

They’re better adapted than those who enter through exams. Truly strong individuals don’t need to take exams.

Not to mention, he’s a phony valedictorian.

"Why don’t you want to date me, then? Do you like Jiang Banxia more?"

"Do you want the truth or a lie?"

"A lie."

"Well, I like her more."

Bai Qing chuckled, saying, "Liking her is normal. I’ve seen her; she’s much prettier than me."

"Yeah, she’s beautiful, mild-mannered, the perfect little pushover. Who wouldn’t like that? With other women, I’d worry about cheating. With her, she’d worry if I had someone outside – so much safer."

"Heh, so what about the truth?"

"The truth is, I don’t really like anyone; I just want to make some money."

"So... the only reason you’re willing to talk to me is because of money?"

"Yeah, I used to think you were loaded, and I could trick a bit out of you. Turns out you’re not rich either... My account has transfer limits; once I’m back in the county, I’ll reserve an appointment at the bank and should be able to transfer everything back to you by the afternoon."

Bai Qing was silent for a while and finally said, "If I’d bet on you the first time we met, do you think the outcome would have been better?"

"No!"

Bai Qing exhaled deeply, saying, "You don’t have to repay the money. Consider it a gift for you and Jiang Banxia’s pair at Jing University. Tomorrow morning, go to the station and head home yourself; I won’t be joining you."
