High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 36: Who Isn’t Being Remade?

Li Yang had always known about the restless soul hidden beneath Xue Ning’s quiet exterior. After all, that’s how she was when he encountered her in a past life.

Similarly, he himself was a restless soul.

That day, he didn’t even try to seduce her.

Xue Ning offered herself to him.

She pursed her lips.

And they both slept until they naturally woke up.

She said Li Yang was handsome.

And then said no one loved her.

She hoped Li Yang would be more diligent.

That’s the kind she liked.

...

"Buddy, where exactly are we going?"

The driver asked.

He was genuinely envious.

Xue Ning, half-drunk and half-awake, was a sight to behold, giving this young man an unfair advantage.

This guy had just sent away another girl with stunning looks and a great figure, and the next moment he could leave the bar with a top-notch one like this.

Shit!

Li Yang grumpily said, "Didn’t you hear her say she doesn’t want to go to a hotel? Go to Yizhong!"

Xue Ning seemed about to say something, but Li Yang quickly covered her mouth.

"Alright..."

As the car started, Li Yang suddenly felt a strange sensation in his fingers.

Phew...

Li Yang felt that Xue Ning intentionally got herself drunk at the bar, as there weren’t many bottles on the table.

Given her drinking capacity, that wasn’t nearly enough.

The car finally arrived at the entrance of Yizhong, and after Li Yang helped Xue Ning out of the car, she collapsed into his arms.

Li Yang took a few steps forward with her, saying, "There’s no one here, why are you still pretending? Get back home quickly!"

The powerless Xue Ning remained unresponsive.

Li Yang found a spot by a flowerbed and set her down, "If you don’t want to go home, just sleep on the roadside tonight. I don’t have time to stay here with you."

Just as Li Yang released Xue Ning and was about to leave, Xue Ning finally spoke up.

"Why are you pretending to be pure? Do you think you can fool me like that?"

Li Yang grumbled, "What? Do you want to find a man who won’t last half a day?"

"Then why are you dodging?"

"Dodging is a virtue, haven’t you heard? You’ve never seen the world, you bumpkin."

"Heh..."

Xue Ning had a strong impression of Li Yang.

Back in high school, he seemed quite unsophisticated. Although he was pretty, he didn’t show it.

But good grades were a plus back then, and he was constantly first in the class.

After that, I stopped teaching his class, and occasionally bumped into him at school but couldn’t recognize him.

Recently, I heard his name again and remembered earlier memories, comparing the two, he seemed like a completely different person.

Of course, the most memorable thing was how he could sprint up six flights of stairs without losing his breath.

"Why the hell are you laughing! I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you. At least others need some tricks to hook up, but you just throw yourself at him."

Xue Ning nonchalantly said, "He’s a project manager at a big company, highly educated, handsome, and can help me manage my finances. Why can’t I be proactive?"

"Manage your finances? How is he managing your finances?"

"I’m investing a hundred thousand with him, and he promised me 20% interest per year."

Li Yang laughed, "Have you ever heard the saying, ’While you’re after his interest, he’s after your principal’?"

Xue Ning: "Others only offer twelve percent. I’m an exception."

"Yeah, the extra money is considered a fee."

"You..."

Xue Ning wanted to argue but found herself at a loss for words.

During high school, Jiang Yaoting sponsored her. In college, with work-study programs and poverty scholarships, she graduated with five thousand saved.

After graduation, she taught at Yizhong, earning over four thousand a month and saving another five thousand in two years.

She was tired of the mundane job, wanting money to travel around the country or even the world.

The opportunity came at the right time, introduced by a veteran teacher at the school, who claimed him to be a distant nephew.

With 20% compound interest a year, it only took three to four years for her to earn 30,000 to 40,000 a year, enough for her to quit this job and do what she wanted.

She really had no reason to refuse, especially since he was a high-achiever earning two to three hundred thousand a year.

"You’re drunk and out of your mind! Is there really such a good deal? If there were, banks would already be offering money to him. Do you know more than a bank? Anyone can talk big! I could promise you fifty percent. Would you trust me with your money?"

Then Xue Ning’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

Li Yang: "..."

This woman is hopeless!

Of course, he never expected Xue Ning to be normal. If she were, she wouldn’t have met him in the past life.

When he was twenty-eight, he was left with nothing, starting over.

Any woman willing to be with him at that stage had to be blind anyway.

"Did you give him the money?"

If she hadn’t, perhaps she could still get it back. Any longer and who knows?

"I haven’t. I was planning to give it to you because you promised me 50% a year."

Li Yang couldn’t be bothered, saying, "Just go to a securities company, open an account, and pour all one hundred thousand into the stock of Shanying Port. Hold it for three months and we’ll see."

As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, Xue Ning got up, hugged him, and said, "I don’t want to! I don’t understand stocks or opening accounts; I just want a fixed number. If you give me 50% a year, I’ll give you..."

Xue Ning’s waist truly defined the term "slender."

Thin yet curvy.

Their breath was close, her faint scent mixed with the smell of alcohol.

"Tomorrow you go to the securities company, open an account, and then hand it to me. From then on, I’ll give you five thousand a month!"

"Really?"

"Um, better me than anyone else!"

Might as well make a change.

He accepted it.

"Haha... Let’s go to a hotel then."

In a slightly tipsy state, Xue Ning was stunningly beautiful.

Li Yang ignored her and directly pulled Xue Ning towards the teachers’ dormitory.

"Hey, there’s still Xiaxia at home..."

"Not my problem! Anyway, the dormitory is locked; I’ll just sleep at your place tonight."

Hearing this, Xue Ning showed some resistance, trying to break free from Li Yang’s grasp.

She couldn’t let Jiang Banxia see her.

She didn’t care, being an orphan all her life, no one cared or loved her; she just wanted an easier life.

No matter how much disgrace she suffered in private, as long as she maintained her dignity on the surface, life felt worthwhile.

She never expected a bright future; she just wanted to enjoy her youth and avoid starving when old.

"Let’s go to a hotel, please... It’s really not suitable at my place..."

"You were all ready to strip in public a moment ago; why so scared now?"

Xue Ning glanced around, pulled Li Yang to a corner by the flowerbed.

"Mmm... here will do too..."
