Zhuang Li hadn't slept for three days.
He Ming, who had not received any text messages from him, had hardly slept for almost three days.
So the two of them hugged each other and slept for eight hours. When they opened their eyes again, it was already night. The sunlight had completely disappeared, and faint neon lights were flickering outside through the curtains.
He Ming's mind was still dazed, but his arms subconsciously hugged the person in his arms tightly. He opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling without focus.
Zhuang Li woke up with his arm as his head resting on it. He kissed him on the cheek very naturally and sighed hoarsely, "You slept so comfortably."
He Ming was awakened by the wet kiss. He quickly pushed the person in his arms away, turned over and sat up, and hurried to the living room outside. His back looked like he was fleeing in panic.
7480 complained: "What a coward! There's no problem between a husband and wife that can't be solved with sex, and he doesn't even understand that."
Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows: "How about you teach him?"
7480 also got scared and silently covered his mouth.
Zhuang Li didn't rush out. Instead, he drew back the curtains and opened the windows, letting in fresh air to dilute the strong smell of instant noodles. Then he found a plastic bag, put the pile of instant noodle boxes into it, and wiped the stains off the table with a paper towel.
The computer is still showing the ups and downs of the market, but this money game has nothing to do with Zhuang Li anymore.
All major media outlets were reporting on the Bitcoin war that had begun three days earlier, but no one knew the true instigator. Every financial tycoon's name was on the suspect list, except Zhuang Li. At the moment, he was still an ordinary young divorced husband.
When Zhuang Li went into the bathroom to take a shower, He Ming, who had escaped outside, was receiving Shao Hui's warm hospitality.
His arms still retained Zhuang Li's body temperature, and his brain was still immersed in the satisfaction of hugging him, but his heart was disgusted with his own incompetence and compromise.
He wiped his face, feeling very embarrassed.
Shao Hui came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit and said affectionately, "Brother He, eat some fruit to fill your stomach. Dinner will be ready soon. I remember you like fish, right? I asked my mother to fry a fish for you."
He Ming rubbed his brows tiredly and didn't listen to Shao Hui at all.
Shao Hui asked again: "Brother He, have you been busy recently?"
He Ming pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and walked out to the balcony, puffing away into the cold wind. He closed the sliding door, shutting out Shao Hui's questions. He would rather freeze than stay with that chattering woman.
Shao Hui: “…”
Since becoming beautiful, this was the first time Shao Hui had met a man who didn't take her seriously at all. Her desire to conquer was completely aroused.
She opened the door and walked out to the balcony, brewing a lot of words to chat up.
He Ming glanced at her, put out his cigarette with the pestle in the flowerpot, and walked back to the warm living room.
Shao Hui: “…” This damn man!
Shao Hui had no choice but to return to the living room. After going back and forth like this, her original intention of pretending to be a casual teasing turned into an obvious seduction.
He Ming finally gave her a straight look, but his gaze was extremely sharp. He seemed to see through her beautiful appearance and into her foul heart.
Faced with such a penetrating gaze, Shao Hui actually flinched. After her transformation, all she had to do was smile, and the men around her would fall head over heels for her. It was rare for a man like He Ming to remain unmoved, even harboring a faint sense of disgust.
Facing He Ming, she unexpectedly regained the feeling of being looked down upon by everyone in her previous life. She seemed to have become that useless loser again.
Shao Hui was panicked for a moment, but when she lowered her head and saw her own jade-white hands, she was convinced that she was reborn.
The more He Ming kept people at a distance, the more she wanted this man to fall at her feet.
So she gritted her teeth and pretended to be very worried and said, "Brother He, I want to talk to you about my brother."
He Ming, who was holding the teacup and sipping slowly, finally gave her a straight look again, but his eyes changed from stern to concerned.
His polarized attitude made Shao Hui choke again.
"What's wrong with Zhuang Li?" He spoke in a deep voice, his tone full of nervousness.
Shao Hui: "..." This damn man! Why are you still thinking about Zhuang Li after getting divorced?
"My brother has been speculating in stocks every day since he returned home. My mom asked him to find a proper job, but he refused. He spends all day in front of the computer and eating instant noodles. He will become a waste if he continues like this. He was not like this before." Shao Hui expressed her concerns on the surface, but in fact she described Zhuang Li as a decadent and degenerate young man.
She believed that someone like He Ming would not like a lazy and useless person.
"He seems to have invested all his savings in the stock market. I've read the financial news and know that the stock market has been very volatile recently, and many investors have been trapped. I'm worried that he has lost a lot of money as well. Brother He, please try to persuade him." Shao Hui continued to discredit Zhuang Li.
He Ming's brows were indeed furrowed.
Shao Hui wanted to compose a few more sentences, but Zhuang Li came out of the bedroom carrying a bag of garbage.
He took a quick shower in a hurry, and his curly hair was half dry. His originally pale skin finally showed a little healthy blush.
He Ming immediately walked over, snatched the garbage bag from his hand, and temporarily placed it outside the door.
"I'll throw it away for you when I leave. Don't eat too much instant noodles in the future; they're not nutritious." He warned in a deep voice after returning. He then glanced at Zhuang Li and added, "You've lost a lot of weight."
Zhuang Li responded lazily and put a piece of apple into his mouth.
"Come and have some fruit." He waved at He Ming.
He Ming then sat down to eat the fruit.
Shao Hui, who had painstakingly cut the apple into rabbit shapes, said: "..." I told you to eat it, but you refused. Zhuang Li told you to eat it, and you ate it? He told you to eat shit, and you ate it?
He Ming absentmindedly chewed his fruit, his eyes fixed on Zhuang Li. He saw Zhuang Li, freshly showered and emitting the sweet scent of shower gel. Just sitting there eating with his cheeks puffed out made He Ming's heart flutter.
He actually thought Zhuang Li was cute when he ate. This guy is obviously a liar!
He Ming closed his eyes and wanted to say, "I'm leaving first," but when he opened his mouth, he asked, "Did you make or lose money trading stocks? You didn't sleep for three days. Why are you working so hard? Are you short of money?"
Zhuang Li nodded and said, "Yes, I'm short of money and have something urgent to do."
He Ming continued to ask: "What's the urgent matter?"
Zhuang Li stuffed apples into his mouth one by one, mumbling, "I have to support my family. Do you think I'm in a hurry?"
He Ming thought of Shao Yan's health. He remembered that Zhuang Li once called him crying and asked to borrow money just to pay for Shao Yan's surgery.
He Ming took out his wallet from the inside pocket of his suit, pulled out a black card, and placed it on the table. "If you are short of money, just swipe my card first."
Zhuang Li's attention was drawn to it. This was a card with no upper limit. With it, Zhuang Li could buy a building in full.
Shao Hui's eyes bulged out. She really wanted to flip the table and curse. That wasn't her intention when she was flirting with Zhuang Li! What was going on in this bastard He Ming's head? Zhuang Li wasn't doing his job, speculating in the stock market every day. Was He Ming's solution to give him an unlimited credit card? If Zhuang Li got addicted to drugs, would He Ming buy drugs for him every day? There had to be a limit to indulgence!
Shao Hui turned her head and coughed twice. If she hadn't drunk the spiritual spring, she would have been so angry that she would have vomited blood.
She really wanted to grab He Ming by the collar, shake his head violently, and scream into his ear: "You two are divorced! What do you mean by giving your credit card to Zhuang Li? Have you forgotten how he betrayed you?"
He Ming certainly could not forget Zhuang Li's betrayal, but he could not bear to see Zhuang Li fall into a miserable life.
Just as he had walked up to the altar on impulse, protecting Zhuang Li was his unshirkable responsibility.
He Ming gently rubbed his brows and continued, "I've thought about it. The prenuptial agreement was indeed very unfair to you. I will bring a lawyer over tomorrow and we will redistribute the post-marital property."
Shao Hui: “…”
This time, Shao Hui was so angry that she almost vomited blood! This was the first time she had seen such an idiot rushing to her ex-husband's house to give him property after the divorce! Why could He Ming indulge Zhuang Li so recklessly?
She really wanted this kind of love! Every cell in her body longed for He Ming's favor.
Zhuang Li picked up the black card and played with it for a while, then covered half of his face and smiled softly.
"Husband, you still say you don't love me?" He suddenly approached He Ming, knocked his chin on his shoulder, and chuckled.
The scorching breath sprayed on He Ming's earlobe, burning his heart so much that he almost reached out and hugged this person in his arms.
He Ming wanted to kiss, hug, and caress Zhuang Li whenever he saw her. This desire seemed to have become a habit for him, and he had no idea when this habit had developed.
He Ming, torn between a desire and a desire, no longer dared to stay. He found himself unable to resist Zhuang Li's charm. He believed that if they met more often and spent more time together, he would unconditionally forgive all of Zhuang Li's mistakes.
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first." He tried to make his tone cold and hard.
Zhuang Li gently touched the back of his hand, then placed his phone on the table, tapped the screen, and said, "There's no need to divide the property after marriage. I'm not short of money."
He Ming glanced at his phone and his eyes froze immediately.
Before Shao Hui could even smile contemptuously, she was stunned by the deposit amount on the screen. She counted again and again, but the ten zeros didn't decrease.
Where did Zhuang Li make so much money? It must be fake!
He Ming picked up his phone and checked it repeatedly, finally confirming that this was indeed the bank's genuine APP and the deposit was real.
He demanded sharply, "Where did this money come from? You haven't done anything illegal, have you?"
Shao Hui stared at Zhuang Li intently, her heart aching as if soaked in sulfuric acid, corroded by jealousy. It had only been a few days? How had Zhuang Li earned so much? She held the spiritual spring in her hands, and after years of hard work, she had only managed to save a little over 100 million. If Zhuang Li had done anything illegal, she would definitely report him!
"Don't worry, this money is completely legal. Part of it was earned from stock trading, and part of it was earned from Bitcoin trading." Zhuang Li took back his phone.
He Ming asked in disbelief: "You also participated in the Bitcoin war?"
"To be precise, I'm the banker." Zhuang Li stuffed the black card into He Ming's suit pocket and patted it gently.
“Where did you get so many Bitcoins?”
"I dug it. In short, you have to believe that I didn't do anything illegal, and every penny I earned was honest." Zhuang Li said firmly.
He Ming looked at Zhuang Li steadily, as if he had gotten to know this person all over again, then he stood up and left without saying a word.
When he found out that Zhuang Li could live well without his help, he didn't feel the relief of getting rid of a burden, but rather immense disappointment and emptiness.
