"Should I earn this money? Should I earn it? Or should I earn it?"

Three choices in one. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Money must be earned for sure!

Zhao Yi knew that any hesitation was meaningless because, in the end, he would agree.

The temptation of a million was too great.

Even more than a decade ago, when housing prices were in the millions, the amount of money measured in "millions" was still enough to drive people crazy.

However, in his response email to Cavaleiro, he still wrote ’reply within three days’.

The reason was simple--

He needed some time to think, some time to try to accept it, and to leave room for the very small possibility of refusal.

This was not a trivial matter.

Although everything seemed to be in his favor, like attending the press conference and letting Apple Company use the bonus offered to him for promotional purposes, it would also have some subsequent effects.

For example, he would be covered by the media.

For example, he would be considered a computer genius.

And so on.

Zhao Yi wasn’t sure if gaining fame was a good or bad thing, as he was not a celebrity who relied on fame to make money.

"I’ll call him on the weekend and ask for more details!"

Zhao Yi made up his mind.

Consequently, the next morning, Zhao Yi was still thinking about what Cavaleiro had said, and he seemed a bit distracted.

Sun Liang noticed the ’financer’s’ expression and his self-esteem suddenly burst out. "You wouldn’t be regretting agreeing to treat me, would you?"

"No problem!"

"I don’t need you to treat me. I told my dad, and he gave me money!"

He pulled a green banknote out of his pocket.

Fifty?

Zhao Yi smirked, took out a stack of red banknotes from his pocket, grabbed a few, and handed them to Sun Liang. "I’ve already said I’m treating you, so just go in and have fun!"

"So generous?"

Sun Liang suddenly forgot about his self-esteem, grabbed the money at once, and counted it twice. "The prize money from school..."

"Don’t mention the prize money!"

Zhao Yi was getting a headache from hearing about it, so he just sat on the side and continued to ponder.

Ten minutes later.

Lin Xiaoqing carrying her schoolbag came running over, her toes bouncing, clearly in high spirits. "You guys are already here, I thought I was the earliest!"

"So slow!" Sun Liang muttered discontentedly.

Zhao Yi greeted her and sat by the roadside continuing to wait.

Lin Xiaoqing and Sun Liang were standing nearby, chattering about Happy Valley. They talked about all the known rides and planned what they specifically wanted to play.

Seeing that Zhao Yi hadn’t spoken for a long time, Lin Xiaoqing curiously asked, "What’s wrong with you? Don’t you want to go?"

"That’s what happens when he comes!"

Sun Liang joked, "Don’t tell me Zhao Linlin not coming has left you demotivated!"

Lin Xiaoqing continued to watch Zhao Yi.

"I’m worried!"

Zhao Yi sighed.

"What are you worried about? Didn’t do well in math yesterday?"

"I’m worried... Telling you guys won’t help." Zhao Yi glanced at the two of them and shook his head, continuing to sigh.

"Well, just say it!"

"Hurry up and say it!"

"Alright."

Zhao Yi shook his head, "It’s that company. They’re inviting me to their event and offering me a lot of money as an appearance fee. I’m hesitating whether to accept it or not."

"..."

"Damn!"

Sun Liang couldn’t help but curse, "You think you’re Liu Dehua?"

"Dream on!"

Lin Xiaoqing simply pulled Zhao Yi’s arm and shook it vigorously left and right. "Wake up! Wake up quickly!"

"Stop shaking!"

"Have you woken up?"

"Let go!"

"Are you awake yet!" Lin Xiaoqing laughed as she shook Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi pulled her hard, and Lin Xiaoqing was tugged over, losing her balance and falling into his arms.

In the meantime...

Zhao Yi’s right hand, which was holding Lin Xiaoqing’s body, somehow ended up right on the fleshier part. He couldn’t help but squeeze it tightly.

In an instant.

Time froze!

Zhao Yi looked down at Lin Xiaoqing, their eyes meeting, but the classic scene lasted less than a second. Lin Xiaoqing suddenly reacted, pushing Zhao Yi away with a fierce force.

"Zhao! Yi!"

With a loud roar, Lin Xiaoqing clenched her fist and furiously rushed over.

Zhao Yi was nearly pushed onto the ground, the next moment he was running along the roadside. "No! I didn’t mean to!"

"Stop!"

"I really didn’t mean it!"

"I’ll kill you!"

"..."

Chasing all the way.

Zhao Linlin became a lifesaver because Niu Lianhua was with her.

When the teacher was around, Lin Xiaoqing was still gentle, but the dangerous glances she occasionally cast made one shudder.

This girl was not to be messed with!

Zhao Yi’s face was full of ’grievance’, as if he was really being oppressed, but he couldn’t help putting his hand in front of his nose.

"Sniff~~"

"Zhao! Yi!"

Lin Xiaoqing’s face was flushed, and it was unclear whether it was from anger or embarrassment.

All the way.

Lin Xiaoqing stared at Zhao Yi as if she were looking at a personal enemy.

Zhao Yi walked beside Niu Lianhua, becoming an excellent student, constantly asking about mathematical knowledge.

Niu Lianhua was getting a bit troubled by the questions.

Today was Saturday!

Originally, she had brought Zhao Linlin out to relax, and she also wanted to relax. She didn’t expect Zhao Linlin to invite her classmates along.

The other students were fine.

Zhao Yi?

It seemed like this guy was very popular with girls!

Looking at Lin Xiaoqing...

With Niu Lianhua’s years of experience, Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Yi’s playful interaction seemed to have a touch of bickering sweethearts.

"That’s fine!"

"Linlin will be safe. But, Linlin..."

Niu Lianhua glanced at Zhao Linlin, feeling a slight worry in her heart.

...

Happy Valley had arrived.

The original site of Fuxin Bridge Happy Valley was an old park that had been transformed into an amusement park after more than a year of renovation.
