After all wealth was wiped out, it became the highest peak in the A-share market.

Chapter 15: He's serious about getting involved with Qin Nuanyang.

"Not what?" Li Chao's response came as expected.

Qin Nuanyang felt that the best way was to ignore Li Chao, and since she didn't know how to explain it, she simply turned around and left.

What she didn't expect was that Li Chao was also following behind her.

She turned around and almost bumped into Li Chao face to face.

Qin Nuanyang asked, "Why are you following me?"

"Go have fun! Isn't it time to go out and have fun after the exams? I'm not very good at having fun, can you teach me?"

"I'll take you? Are you crazy?"

Qin Nuanyang really wanted to beat Li Chao up; this guy had made her feel terrible.

Yes, she shouldn't have written that note, but she had already done things for him and treated him to an 800-yuan fast food meal. Although she hadn't paid him back yet, she never went back on her promises.

This guy is still clinging to me.

If others find out that I took him out to play, how am I supposed to live?

Even a slight drop in his grades would be a matter of life and death for him, let alone hanging out with a bunch of hooligans, in which case he would be torn to pieces!

"If you don't bring me, who will? I don't know anyone else. Just pretend you didn't see me, I'll just follow behind you and see what you guys usually do."

Qin Nuanyang: "..."

"No! Go back right now!" Qin Nuanyang roared.

"Oh, then I won't go. You can go now."

"You said it yourself. If I find out you're following me, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Qin Nuanyang said fiercely, and even showed off her fist.

After saying that, she turned around and strode forward.

After running only a dozen or so steps, she quickly looked back.

To her dismay, Li Chao was still following her.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Li Chao: "I'm just taking a stroll. It's a rare day off from self-study, can't I at least get some fresh air?"

"Then why are you following me?"

"There's only one road. Which other way can I go? Fly across rooftops and scale walls?"

Qin Nuanyang: "Okay, I'll endure it..."

Qin Nuanyang decisively and quickly ran to the intersection ahead. The intersection branched off, one leading to the school and the other to a side road. After going around halfway, she could directly reach the main road of the county town.

Forget about taking a taxi; young people walk the rest of the way.

However, when Qin Nuanyang turned back after walking down the path, she found that Li Chao was still behind her.

She stopped and waited for Li Chao to walk up to her.

The next second, Qin Nuanyang suddenly jumped up, pointed at Li Chao, and said, "You still say you weren't following me!"

"What did I say to you? There are trees on both sides of this path, the air is fresh. Didn't I just say I wanted to breathe some fresh air..."

"Okay, okay, okay..."

Qin Nuanyang knew that Li Chao was lying, but there was nothing she could do.

She simply turned around and headed towards the school, taking a detour through the school grounds since it wasn't far anyway.

However, as she approached the school, she subconsciously glanced back, and there it was—that lingering figure.

She walked back a dozen steps, stood in front of Li Chao, and said, "What do you have to say now? Why are you still following behind me?"

"It's on my way. I suddenly remembered I needed to pick something up from the classroom."

"So, should I take the back path now?"

"I suddenly remembered that it doesn't matter whether I take that thing or not, it's more important to get some fresh air first."

"Heh...heh...heh..."

Qin Nuanyang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, her chest heaving.

Li Chao, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, which only fueled Qin Nuanyang's anger.

I really want to shove Li Chao's head under my body and beat him up!

In the end, she only left three words.

"You win!"

After saying this, she turned and walked into the school.

After that, every few dozen meters, she would look back at Li Chao and find that Li Chao was always following her at a leisurely pace.

She never spoke another word to Li Chao.

So we kept walking and walking until we came to an intersection inside the school. If we went straight ahead, we would reach the school gate, and if we went to the left, we would reach the school's staff quarters.

Qin Nuanyang lives in the family compound.

But she didn't want to go back; she had made plans with her girlfriends.

But... thinking of that annoying guy behind her, she gritted her teeth and turned into the family compound.

When she got to her building and looked back, she found Li Chao sitting on the railing of a small bridge in the residential compound, seemingly determined not to leave.

She felt she was about to be driven crazy by Li Chao, so she went home in a huff and texted her girlfriends to say that she couldn't go out tonight.

The reason, of course, is that Dad found out and wouldn't allow it.

……

Li Chao didn't stay long, only about twenty minutes passed, before he walked straight towards the school gate and left the school shortly afterward.

Within one kilometer of the school, there are several newly built residential communities, but the occupancy rate is not high at present.

After receiving the money, he thought about renting a house for himself. After all, he couldn't cook in his current rented place and it wasn't comfortable to live in. From January to April next year, he needed a stable environment so that he could at least have enough to eat.

Going to Qin Zhiguo's place would be quite stressful. Qin Zhiguo's place is just a two-bedroom apartment with the kitchen in the living room and only one bathroom. Over the years, a lot of stuff has accumulated in the house, so you can basically forget about having any privacy once you get there.

Renting a room in a small county town isn't expensive. There are small two-bedroom apartments available here, and you can probably get one for around 500 or 600 yuan a month.

He made the initial contact and will rent it in December, preparing some things in advance.

Getting involved with Qin Nuanyang was purely a coincidence.

I vaguely remember Qin Nuanyang getting into a fight once, but I don't know exactly when. Anyway, it was during her senior year of high school. She was seriously injured and had her arm in a cast for more than a month.

Li Chao strolled around leisurely and noticed some rental information posted. He took out his phone to take a picture, intending to study it in detail and inquire about each one.

After all, he doesn't have much money right now, so he has to be careful with his spending in all aspects.

Saving a little money on many things can amount to hundreds of dollars and also save a lot of trouble.

Before I knew it, I had spent three hours strolling around the neighborhood, which was within a kilometer or two, and I took forty or fifty photos with my phone.

He was mostly relaxed.

After all, someone once said something quite famous: it's hard for people to enjoy their youth.

He thought it made a lot of sense. When you're young, you don't know anything. You even think being withdrawn and sensitive is cool, and you miss out on so many wonderful things.

You should have a proper relationship during your freshman year of college; that's when you can really develop feelings for someone.

As a result, by the time I was a sophomore and had some money, I couldn't find anyone to date, because the people I met weren't interested in me romantically at all.

Fishing where there are no fish will only result in losing everything.

About one kilometer from the school, there is a relatively large residential area, which is also one of the most upscale residential areas in the county. It has a good environment and mature facilities.

Even though it was already 10 p.m., business in the area was still booming. The best bars and KTVs in the county were located here, and it was expected to gradually become the county's consumption center.

The housing prices here are already quite high, around 11,000 yuan per square meter, but...

Houses in county towns have very poor liquidity; their prices are mostly nominal.

When Li Chao passed by, a group of people came out of the KTV, pushing and shoving each other. After the men and women came out, their emotions quickly erupted, and the two sides suddenly started fighting.

Someone casually grabbed a plastic stool from a nearby food stall and threw it at them.
