Protecting The Young

“Mom, you don’t understand. Bitcoin will become popular. Just wait and see. Your son will be able to earn money for a big villa.”

“Just you wait and see,” Uncle Li said confidently.

However, Grandma Li rolled her eyes at him and pushed him away. As she walked to the kitchen, she said disdainfully, “Dream on. When you can earn money from bitcoin, I’m already half-buried.”

Uncle Li still did not give up and said, “Really Mom, I can provide for you and let you enjoy life.”

Grandma Li did not respond to him.

Therefore, Uncle Li pulled Li Yizheng to his seat. He even handed the phone to Li Yizheng. “Little Zheng, look, this is profitable.”

Li Yizheng smiled and did not say anything.

Meanwhile, Uncle Li was still in the background, constantly refreshing bitcoin, comparing the price fluctuations.

In a short while, the noodles were served.

Uncle Li was too engrossed to notice it.

It was only when Grandma Li slapped his head then he felt it.

Uncle Li, “Hey, who hit me?”

Grandma Li, “Your Mother.”

Uncle Li, “Aye, why are you still scolding…”

He did not finish his sentence because when he turned around, he realized it was indeed his mother.

“Can’t you see that Little Zheng is about to eat? Why aren’t you getting busy?” Grandma Li said as she poked his forehead.

Uncle Li took a look and realized that it was true. “I’m sorry, Little Zheng. I was too engrossed in watching. You go ahead and eat.”

As he said that, he stood up and was about to leave.

Li Yizheng smiled at Uncle Li and Grandma Li. “It’s fine.”

“Eat slowly.” After Grandma Li said that, she pulled Uncle Li’s ear and walked toward the kitchen.

“Mom, listen to me, this bitcoin has an advantage.” Uncle Li didn’t give up trying to convince Grandma Li.

Li Yizheng listened to their conversation getting further and further away, so he began to eat the noodles.

When Li Yizheng heard that Uncle Li was so obsessed with bitcoin, he thought of a bold idea.

So he quickly finished the bowl of noodles in front of him, paid the bill, and quickly walked home.

When he reached home, he threw his bag on the bed, picked up his phone, and opened the trading platform.

In fact, after the last time he sold all of bitcoin, Li Yizheng did not stop completely monitoring bitcoin.

On the contrary, he would take time out every day to study the trend of bitcoin prices.

And there was a special notebook to record the fluctuations of bitcoin prices.

Today, around 8 pm.

Bitcoin fell below $220 and kept falling.

It was also on this day that Li Yizheng made a decisive move.

He took out 700,000, bought 10 times the leverage, and bought it at the price of $210 per unit.

He didn’t want to use all the assets in his account.

This time, without Gu Shihui and the resourceful woman’s guidance, Li Yizheng was gambling with this 600,000 yuan to verify whether he was right or not.

At 11:30 pm, before he was ready to go to bed, Li Yizheng opened the trading platform of his phone again.

The price displayed on the screen stayed at $211.

Li Yizheng waited and refreshed the price for more than ten minutes, but the price still did not change.

So he simply threw the phone under his pillow and didn’t look at it anymore. He prepared to wash up and sleep.

If Gu Shihui knew what Li Yizheng did tonight, she would be shocked and her mouth would be wide open.

After all, this kind of decisive move wasn’t something an ordinary person could make.

She would feel proud while being surprised because after all, this was Gu Shihui’s husband.

The next morning, after a stale market in the morning, bitcoin began to slowly rise.

Li Yizheng took a glance at his phone and put it down, drank a mouthful of milk, and left with a piece of bread in his mouth.

When he arrived at the classroom, he saw a group of people discussing something in front of the podium.

However, he did not pay much attention to it. He placed his schoolbag on the stool and looked at the outline that Gu Shihui had prepared for him last time.

When the students who had been chattering on the podium saw Li Yizheng had arrived at school, they all rushed to his desk.

Li Yizheng was interrupted by their actions.

He put down the notebook in his hand and frowned. “What’s the matter?”

“Li Yizheng, do you know how much you scored in the previous exam?” A student asked directly.

Li Yizheng glanced at him and found that they were classmates who didn’t have much interaction with him.

Li Yizheng didn’t think that this boy would specifically come to him. Although he didn’t know what they were going to do, he still replied, “I don’t know. Why?”

“You scored 145 in Chinese and 147 in math this time,” another boy beside him said excitedly as if he was the one who scored such a high score.

Li Yizheng’s expression changed slightly but he did not show it on his face. He said calmly, “Oh.”

However, the students who heard his reply were not calm.

Classmate A said, “That’s it? Just an “Oh”?”

Classmate B said, “Did you not hear me just now?”

Classmate C said “How did you do it? How did you improve so much?”

Classmate D said, “I would like to call you a god.”

…

Everyone started to discuss at Li Yizheng’s side.

Li Yizheng was having a headache from all the noise.

At this moment, Gu Shihui had just arrived at the door of the classroom.

She saw a group of people standing at the seats of Gu Shihui and Li Yizheng.

They were discussing something and their expressions were unusually excited.

Gu Shihui thought that they were attacking Li Yizheng, so she walked in front of the crowd and squeezed in. She saw Li Yizheng who was surrounded in the middle and had a headache from all the noise.

Gu Shihui instantly exploded.

“All of you, shut up!” Gu Shihui shouted. Sure enough, everyone stopped talking and looked at Gu Shihui in surprise.

At this moment, Li Yizheng also raised his head and saw Gu Shihui’s small body blocking in front of him.

It was as if she was shielding him from the wind and rain.

“What are you doing? Are you bullying Li Yizheng?” Gu Shihui asked angrily.

The students were shocked by Gu Shihui’s shout just now. They didn’t come back to their senses until Gu Shihui opened her mouth to speak.

Therefore, one of the students stood up and explained, “No, Gu Shihui, you misunderstood.”

“Misunderstood? Then what were you doing here just now?” Gu Shihui asked in confusion.

“We were just talking about Li Yizheng’s results from the previous exam. If you don’t believe me, take a look.” As he said that, he handed the report card to Gu Shihui.

Gu Shihui took a look at the report card. Sure enough, Li Yizheng’s results had improved tremendously this time. That was why everyone was so excited.

At this moment, Gu Shihui was embarrassed.

[ What should I do? What should I say at this moment? ]

[ It’s so awkward. Did I just look like I have a bad temper? ]

[ What should I do? My image. ]

Gu Shihui cried out hopelessly in her heart.

Li Yizheng could hear everything she was thinking.

Apart from the touching sight of Gu Shihui protecting him like protecting a little chick, her inner thoughts were also very cute.
