High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 406 - 193: Fivefold Odds (Part 2)

Jiang Banxia looked up and asked, "Hmm, is it okay?"

Li Yang gazed at Jiang Banxia’s eyes, which were both shy and slightly expectant.

In that moment, he was a little dazed.

He made a gesture towards the bathroom door and said, "Miss Jiang, please!"

In no time, Jiang Banxia was soaking in the bathtub, eyes closed, enjoying Li Yang’s massage.

Ever since she got together with Li Yang, everything had been going too smoothly.

So smooth that it felt a bit unreal to her.

Originally, she was supposed to face a heap of troubles, and even if Li Yang hadn’t exposed her account last year, she would have had to confront them sooner or later.

But now... she didn’t have to bear any pressure and had effortlessly become a big shot.

The pressure hadn’t vanished; it had just been transferred.

Li Yang skipping classes could be an excuse for others to attack him, and just booking a hotel room made them want to shove a camera in his face.

Everyone around Li Yang seemed intent on finding faults, while she became a laid-back big shot with ease.

Which tycoon in the world has it easy? They all face various pressures, except for her.

"I was just watching Master Li’s live stream,"

Jiang Banxia said softly.

Li Yang’s hands didn’t stop moving, and he asked, "That means you’re in great shape, still having the mood to watch live streams. Congratulations."

Jiang Banxia laughed and replied, "Because with Master Li around, he’s like a mountain; no matter the angle, I can rely on him comfortably."

"Hey, hey, hey, you’re leaning against the bathtub right now."

"But it feels like the bathtub is Master Li, and the water inside is like Master Li’s hands, enveloping my entire body..."

"So... did the water get in?"

"..."

Jiang Banxia really liked Li Yang drying her hair.

Even more comfortable than at the hair salon.

After her bath, she sat on the edge of the bed wrapped in a towel, and Li Yang stood beside her with a blow dryer.

"Master Li, have you worked as a hairdresser?"

"Hmm, I have."

"When?"

"Huh? Haha, I forgot, maybe in a dream..."

In his past life, he definitely came into contact with hairdressers, but in this life, he’s still quite innocent.

As for drying hair, there are definitely skills involved; the wind speed is one thing, and temperature control is equally important.

He’s got experience in this.

After all, in his past life, he was a simp, and what self-respecting simp wouldn’t know these things?

...

Once the hair was dry, Li Yang went to the bathroom for a quick shower, taking no more than ten minutes.

As soon as he came out, he saw Jiang Banxia waving at him from under the covers, "Master Li, come in quickly."

Li Yang chuckled and said, "So eager?"

"Yes, yes, I just want to cuddle with Master Li and sleep."

Li Yang had planned to tidily up a bit since it was only nine o’clock, and Jiang Banxia usually didn’t fall asleep this early.

But Jiang Banxia seemed different today.

He climbed into bed, and Jiang Banxia immediately snuggled up to him.

She smelled lovely and felt tender.

After all, this big shot in front of him was actually under twenty years old.

Jiang Banxia whispered into Li Yang’s ear, "Was Master Li nervous today?"

Li Yang asked in surprise, "Nervous about what?"

"I saw you were talking recklessly in the live stream, saying you wanted to jump in yourself... Aren’t you afraid people will cause you trouble?"

Li Yang shook his head and said, "What trouble would I be afraid of? I was born to solve trouble."

Jiang Banxia hesitated for a moment, then softly said, "Master Li, have I disappointed you?"

"Hmm? Why would I be disappointed? Didn’t I say it several times today? Everyone makes mistakes, and this time it was force majeure. I’m not going to take force majeure too seriously."

Jiang Banxia quickly explained, "I’m not talking about that."

"What else? You didn’t find a boyfriend, did you? If so, I’m moving out now—making room for him beside you!"

With that, Li Yang tried to get up, but Jiang Banxia held him tightly.

At the same time, Jiang Banxia pressed closely against Li Yang, saying, "No, no, there’s no need to make room. This spot beside me will always be Master Li’s."

She was well aware that even without her, Li Yang would still be Li Yang.

And without Li Yang, aside from the emotional aspect, the work pressure alone would be unbearable for her.

Besides, Li Yang was highly sought after. After dating for over a year and on the verge of achieving a successful relationship, there’s no way she would give up.

She just felt that Li Yang was too good to her, making it seem a bit undeserving.

She wasn’t willing to let Li Yang take a few more concubines either.

"Then what were you talking about just now?" Li Yang pressed on.

"I... actually... just wanted to ask... if Master Li wants, we can, right now..."

"Oh..."

Li Yang hurriedly grabbed his phone from the bedside, opening the app while asking, "You’re not seriously feeling bad about losing ten percent, are you?"

He didn’t really believe that Jiang Banxia could lose ten percent, thinking she was likely exaggerating, with five or six percent being the max.

Still, something was off with Jiang Banxia’s behavior today.

Just then, the net value of the Wanliu Mixed Selection was published.

When he opened the fund’s homepage, the numbers shocked him.

Net Value: 1.472 (+2.08%)

He looked at this number incredulously, then noticed Jiang Banxia’s face, full of a gleeful smile.

"How did you manage that?"

Today, the market had dropped seven percent, courtesy of the circuit breaker mechanism. Without it, it could have dropped even more.

Jiang Banxia looked relaxed and said, "No idea, it just happened..."

"But that’s over thirty billion! How did you turn it around?"
