Night Chat
So he put down his phone and prepared to read a book.
The pointer on the wall was pointing at eight o'clock.
At this time, Li Yizheng's father knocked on his door and said, "Son, it's time to eat."
"Got it. I'll be right there." Li Yizheng put down his book after he finished speaking.
After changing into his home clothes, he walked out of his room.
"Where's mom? She isn't back yet?" Li Yizheng pretended that he didn't know that the two of them had already agreed to divorce.
Sure enough, when his father heard his words, he stopped placing the tableware and his expression was unnatural.
However, he returned to normal very quickly to prevent Li Yizheng from detecting any indication.
However, Li Yizheng had already noticed his father's actions.
"Your mother, she's working overtime tonight so she won't be coming back."
"You also know that your mother has only just started work for two days. She wants to leave a good impression on the boss."
When Li Yizheng heard his father say this, he thought to himself, "If I didn't know that my parents had already divorced, I'm afraid that I would have been deceived by my father today."
Li Yizheng didn't ask any more questions. He just pulled out a stool and sat down.
His father poured a bowl of soup for Li Yizheng and handed it to him at the dining table.
"Son, taste it. Drink more. The pressure of studying in the third year of high school is very high. You have to eat well." his father said.
Li Yizheng nodded. He reached out to take the soup and put it beside his hand. "Dad, you drink too."
He took a sip of the soup and pretended to ask casually, "Dad, How's your work recently? Is it going well?"
The father did not think too much about it. He apprehended it as his son was concerned about him. "My job is still alight for now. It should be downsizing recently, so it looks like I need to find a job early and make some plans."
At this point, the father suddenly stopped. Li Yizheng looked at him with some doubts.
He didn't understand why he didn't continue.
His father hurriedly explained, "It's fine, it's fine. Son, you just need to study hard. Don't worry about anything else. It just so happens that father also wants to change his job."
Li Yizheng nodded and didn't say anything else. He knew that his father didn't want him to worry. He wanted to shoulder everything on himself.
At this moment, he thought to himself, "I must earn more money so that my father won't be so tired anymore."
"Maybe when school starts, I can learn more good ways to earn money from the goddess."
Li Yizheng didn't realize that he no longer had so much suspicion toward Gu Shihui. He even began to slowly believe in her.
At this moment, Li Yizheng did not tell his father about his purchase of bitcoin. He was afraid that his father would not be able to accept the fact that he had invested so much money and risk losing them.
After all, his father had been honest and stable for his entire life.
If his father knew that he had invested so much at once, he was afraid that it would shock his father and landed him in the hospital. That would be difficult to handle.
Therefore, he decided that it wouldn't be too late to tell his father after he had received money.
After eating, Li Yizheng returned to his room.
He took out his phone and opened the trading platform again.
At this time, the bitcoin price had dropped to 201.7 US dollars.
Although it was a little lower than before, it was still profitable overall.
"It seems to be quite interesting," Li Yizheng closed the page and said in a low voice.
He no longer bothered about bitcoin.
He didn't forget that the college entrance exam was in less than three months.
And he wanted to continue to go to the same school as the goddess.
In the afternoon, he knew that the goddess was full of confidence.
Li Yizheng thought to himself, "I must work harder and follow the pace of the goddess."
So he took out the test paper given out today from his schoolbag and began to complete it.
Li Yizheng was immersed in loads of information.
"Ding Dong Dong Dong." Li Yizheng lifted his head which was buried in the test paper.
This was the ringtone that he had specially set for Gu Shihui.
So he rubbed his sore arm and picked up the phone from afar.
"A light rain and an umbrella" showed up (this was Gu Shihui's online name): "Deskmate, are you there? How did your conversation go?"
Li Yizheng saw the message and was thinking about how to answer it.
The phone rang again with a "Ding Dong Dong Dong" notification sound.
A light rain and an umbrella texted "Deskmate, reply to my message. I can only play for a short while. My phone is about to be confiscated."
Li Yizheng did not hesitate anymore.
Messenger of justice: "I'm here."
A light rain and an umbrella: "You still haven't answered my question."
Li Yi Zheng's lips curled into a smile.
Messenger of justice: "Yes, I understand the details. I bought it."
Messenger of justice: "I'll treat you to a meal later."
A light rain and an umbrella: "Haha, don't turn back on your words. How about Monday?"
Li Yizheng couldn't help but laugh. "Are you afraid that I'll run away..."
The messenger of justice: "Alright, Tomorrow then. But I don't have that much money on hand right now, I have already invested most of it. So this meal isn't a big one."
Then he sent another message.
The messenger of justice: "If you don't mind, I'll bring you somewhere tomorrow."
A light rain and an umbrella: "Of course, I don't mind, I'll listen to you."
Li Yizheng saw this "I'll listen to you" and instantly felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.
This was another message from the other side.
A light rain and an umbrella: "Oh right, Deskmate, how much did you spend on buying?"
Messenger of justice: "I bought it for 199.9 US dollars, what's wrong?"
There was no reply from the other side. She sent a crying emoji.
Not long after, it sent another message.
A light rain and an umbrella: "Deskmate, it's fine, it's fine. I bought it for $200.40. I delayed for a while and didn't manage to buy it at the lowest price today."
Then, she sent another crying emoji.
On the other side of the phone, Li Yizheng saw this emoji and could already imagine Gu Shihui's regretful and aggrieved expression when she didn't buy at the lowest point.
Messenger of justice: "You're especially cute today."
Withdrawn.
On the other side, when Gu Shihui heard her phone ring, she immediately sat up on the bed and opened the chat page.
However, it only displayed, "The other party has withdrawn a message."
A light rain and an umbrella: "Deskmate, what did you withdraw? I haven't seen it yet."
Li Yizheng put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly, replied, "Nothing."
However, he seemed to have forgotten that Gu Shiyu could not see his current expression.
Li Yizheng held his phone and waited for a long time but he did not see the other party send another message.
He guessed that maybe the other side's phone had been confiscated, so she couldn't reply to any more messages.
He said softly to the phone, "Good night."
