Chapter 42 Is it because of puberty? If so, then I can forgive you.
On Saturday, Li Chao went to his previous rented apartment, got the chemistry review book from Wen He, made a copy, and gave it to Qin Nuanyang.
He received his physics certificate last week and has already started studying it.
He just doesn't have the money right now, so... he'll owe it to me for now and we'll talk about it next month.
Feeling quite guilty towards Wen He, Li Chao brought her two buckets of instant noodles, some sausages, and some fruit when he went to get the items.
He only has a few dozen yuan left, but fortunately there's not much he needs to spend. He still has a few hundred yuan left on his meal card, enough to eat breakfast every day until next year's college entrance exam. He eats lunch and dinner at Qin Nuanyang's house. He only needs to pay the water and electricity bills next month, which should only cost about sixty or seventy yuan a month.
October is just around the corner, and high school seniors will soon have a very rare holiday of seven days, almost like a short winter break.
The winter break for senior high school students is only 15 days at most, and the summer break is only a month. When faced with a seven-day break like this, many students lose their motivation to study several days in advance.
Qin Nuanyang was an exception; she had no interest in studying since the beginning of high school.
After three weeks of training, Li Chao is gradually becoming familiar with high school knowledge.
On Saturday, he tentatively took a test himself. After comparing the answers, he found that he had scored nearly 450 points, even though he only got passing marks for the Chinese composition, reading comprehension and English composition. He also got the coefficient for the English listening comprehension section.
He was quite satisfied with this rate of improvement.
虽然他也知道越是往后越是困难，从400分到500分的难度如果是1，那幺从500提升到600的难度就接近10，再从600提升到680，难度指不定要达到100。
He gradually recalled some basics and slowly tried to improve his focus in learning. It shouldn't be difficult for him to score over 500 points.
If you can score 550 points, you will basically have the right to choose a university.
If you score below 500, you only have the right to be chosen if you want to get into a good university.
He prefers to take the initiative.
Taking the initiative is what you truly want.
……
On September 26, Baoding hit its last daily limit up. Li Chao sold all the stocks in both of his accounts at the limit up price.
There's no skill involved, it's all about cheating.
Qin Nuanyang's account now has 159,000 yuan, and Wen He's account has 151,000 yuan.
There are three trading days left: today, Thursday; tomorrow, Friday; and Monday, September 30th.
Li Chao originally planned to buy Chengmai Technology next Monday, because he knew that the stock would only start rising after the National Day holiday. If he bought it on Monday, he could still make two transactions in three trading days.
But when he glanced at Chengmai Technology and saw that the stock was about to hit its daily limit down, he changed his mind.
Let's just go for it! Who knows, we might even make a profit in the next couple of days.
So, I went all in on Chengmai Technology, at about nine points underwater.
The current daily price fluctuation limit for ChiNext stocks is also 10%, so it's not far from hitting the daily limit down, so it doesn't matter if it falls a little lower.
……
"You have more inside information?" Qin Nuanyang's message came quickly.
"Are you still watching?"
"Of course, 60% of the money here belongs to me."
"Oh, it's not insider information. I've done my own research on a long-term strategy and plan to buy in and then hold off on it, focusing on learning so I don't have to check the market every day."
"That's more like it..."
Li Chao: "..."
We managed to fool them, thank goodness.
With the National Day holiday and subsequent market conditions, I'll be holding the account for over twenty days, almost a month. I hope Qin Nuanyang will forget about the account by then.
"By the way, how about I treat you to dinner for National Day?" Qin Nuanyang added.
"Sure, I'll eat whatever you treat me to."
"Don't worry, it will definitely satisfy you, it will be exactly what you like to eat."
……
Qin Nuanyang didn't spend much money this month, and her living expenses for next month will be deposited into her account soon.
Of the 800, she had to pay interest on the online loan; the other 800, she could use as she pleased.
Anyway, we basically eat at home now, so there's no need to invite girlfriends or anything, and there's no need to spend money.
Perfect timing! Let's invite Li Chao to eat his favorite food.
An 800-yuan fast food meal? In her opinion, it must be Australian lobster fried rice, otherwise it wouldn't be that expensive.
After receiving Li Chao's reply, she immediately sent a message to Wen He.
"Wen He, didn't you say there was a place near the train station that sells fast food for 800 yuan? Where exactly is it?"
After sending the message, Wen He waited for about half an hour before replying with, "Huh?"
"What? Tell me quickly, I'm going there to host a party for National Day."
Wen He: "...Sister Nuanyang, are you misunderstanding something? Are you really unaware or are you pretending not to know?"
"Of course I know, why would I be asking you?"
"Sigh... that 'fast food' thing is similar to 'escort services,' you should know what 'escort services' means, right?"
Qin Nuanyang: "..."
Of course she knew. Every KTV has a few hostesses, and whether or not they go out with clients is none of her business.
Before long, Qin Nuanyang completely understood the meaning of "fast food".
These two characters can actually be used as normal nouns, but once the prefix "eight hundred yuan" is added, they become abnormal.
After school, she waited for Li Chao in the square of the teaching building for a while, as usual, and continued walking after Li Chao arrived.
The two would usually chat for a bit, but today Li Chao noticed that Qin Nuanyang had no interest in talking at all.
After entering the residential compound, Li Chao asked, "Who upset you again?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Nuanyang immediately stopped and looked at Li Chao seriously, asking, "Tell me honestly, what fast food did you eat that cost eight hundred yuan last time?"
"What? You want reimbursement?"
"I'll reimburse you, my foot! Did you go to the train station area? Like those fast food places?"
Li Chao: "...No..."
"Okay, then hand over the money. I gave you a total of 1,500. You also said you had 600 on you, so that makes 2,100. You didn't spend much money. As long as you can come up with 1,500, I'll believe you didn't go!"
Li Chao: "..."
Take nothing, it's all given to Wen He.
"No, why would I go to a place like that?"
"Look at you, it means you know what 'train station fast food' means. Even a slacker like me doesn't know this, how could a good student like you know? Hurry up and take out the money, or I'll pay for it myself."
"No, who would carry money on their person?"
"Okay, then I'll go back with you after we eat. If you can't come up with the money, I'm not letting you off the hook!"
Qin Nuanyang stared intently at Li Chao.
Li Chao sighed and said helplessly, "What if we run out of money?"
Qin Nuanyang felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Without saying a word, she turned around and left.
She was so sad.
Li Chao couldn't possibly spend that much money. He's been eating at home lately, and he's only bought some daily necessities like fruit platters, mops, bath towels, and a new set of clothes for himself.
Unfortunately, he was out of money and couldn't say where he had gone.
After climbing two flights of stairs, Qin Nuanyang suddenly stopped Li Chao and said, "Is it because of puberty? If so, I can forgive you, but you must promise not to go there again!"
