Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Lu Youxi’s Mind Was Blown by His Stare

"Oh, I bought some stocks," Lu Youxi said.

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Apparently, Zhou Shuyan’s speechless expression was so explicit that Lu Youxi instantly understood his meaning.

Lu Youxi also felt a bit embarrassed and coughed.

It’s not just Zhou Shuyan who wouldn’t believe her. Being aware of her own limitations like family members would, if she were as clueless as Zhou Shuyan.

Imagine someone who has never dealt with stocks suddenly telling you they are trading stocks and are very confident they will make money. She would be at a loss for words too.

"Did you hear some insider news?" Zhou Shuyan asked, raising an eyebrow.

Was there a student at Jing University who naively thought they knew some so-called insider information and blurted it out?

Did Lu Youxi hear about it, see it as an opportunity, and really went to buy some stocks?

He did believe in Lu Youxi’s audacity.

This young lady was exceptionally bold.

She truly dared to do anything.

"No," Lu Youxi replied, "I did my own research. Don’t think I’m inexperienced and clueless. I’m a quick learner. Let me first try it out modestly; don’t worry."

Lu Youxi didn’t dare to tell Zhou Shuyan that she had invested all the cash she could afford.

Zhou Shuyan already doubted her stock trading abilities; if he knew she invested all her available money into the stock market, he would definitely think she was insane.

Zhou Shuyan studied Lu Youxi intently.

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lu Youxi asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing," Zhou Shuyan said. "Although I always feel you’re not telling me the whole truth, if you really end up in trouble, like losing money in the stock market to the point you can’t cover it, just tell me."

Did she naturally look like a liar?

Why would Zhou Shuyan think she wasn’t telling him the whole truth?

Seeing that Zhou Shuyan could guess she wasn’t truthful yet didn’t argue about it and even offered to cover for her made Lu Youxi feel guilty for deceiving him.

Yet, she really couldn’t explain it to Zhou Shuyan.

At that moment, Lu Youxi felt a bit down.

Until they reached the subway station and boarded the train.

The car wasn’t crowded, with plenty of seats available.

After sitting down, Zhou Shuyan looked at Lu Youxi’s left hand.

They had been discussing various topics before, and though he had noticed, he hadn’t had the chance to bring it up.

Finally, he spoke, "You are wearing a ring."

Lu Youxi came to her senses and instinctively turned to look at Zhou Shuyan.

Noticing his gaze on her left hand,

then Zhou Shuyan’s eyes slowly moved up to her face, his mouth curving into a somewhat ambiguous smile.

It looked like surprise, a bit of joy, and a bit of teasing.

Lu Youxi’s mind exploded under his gaze.

She had originally planned to take the ring off before meeting Zhou Shuyan.

She had been wearing it because she was still in the dorm with Lu Xiaohui and two others, and removing it early could raise uncomfortable questions.

So her plan was to remove the ring after leaving.

But then Zhou Shuyan suddenly called, saying he was already at the university’s gate.

Not wanting Zhou Shuyan to wait, she rushed and forgot to take off the ring.

Subconsciously, Lu Youxi clenched her fist, attempting to cover the ring on her hand.

"I have already seen it," Zhou Shuyan said, noticing her action.

Lu Youxi: "..."

"Cough," Lu Youxi said awkwardly, "There was a senior in school who was pursuing me, and I was annoyed, so I told him I was married. To avoid such situations in the future, I went and bought a ring. It saves a lot of trouble."

Zhou Shuyan carefully looked at her finger, "May I take a closer look?"

Lu Youxi took it off and handed it to him.

Zhou Shuyan took it, inspecting the ring closely, "Silver?"

"Uh-huh," Lu Youxi nodded. "Bought it for 15 yuan from a little accessory shop near the school."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

The woman registered in his household book wore a silver wedding ring that cost merely 15 yuan.

Zhou Shuyan handed the ring back to Lu Youxi, "Let me buy you a proper one."

"No need, why bother? We’ll have to divorce later anyway, buying a ring is just a waste of money," Lu Youxi blurted out.

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

You sure do remember the divorce matter quite well.

"And the ring is cheap, less painful if I lose it. If you really bought me a good one and I lost it, it would hurt much more," Lu Youxi continued, "So having one to ward people off is good enough."

Zhou Shuyan took a deep breath, constantly reassuring himself, don’t get angry, don’t get angry.

It took him quite a while to calm himself before he could say, "I didn’t expect you to attract suitors right upon entering the university."

Lu Youxi muttered to herself that it wasn’t just one suitor.

If she hadn’t decisively spread the news of her being married, there might have been more in the future.

Essentially, those people just cared about appearance.

"It’s nothing; that guy seemed flippant and not very solid, self-assuming too," Lu Youxi sneered, highly disdainful, "Appearing like a peacock spreading its feathers, thinking if he just stands there, everyone would like him."

Zhou Shuyan fell silent for a moment, then said, "I didn’t expect you to pay that much attention to him."

Lu Youxi blinked, puzzled, "Is that what you call paying attention to him?"

"You did describe him in several sentences," even if negatively, it suggested that the person had made a significant impression on Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi: "..."

"I don’t quite understand your logic," Lu Youxi was thoroughly bewildered.

Zhou Shuyan laughed again; Lu Youxi’s reaction truly showed her disinterest in that person.

Then, Zhou Shuyan started asking about the situation in Hexing Village, Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu, and Lu Youxue.

"I just spoke to my parents about having them come over for the National Holiday," Lu Youxi shared her plan. "By then, I should have enough money to rent a place and have them stay over."

"I still need to start inquiring about Youxue coming to the Imperial Capital for studies," Lu Youxi slightly frowned, "That part is tricky."

"I have always wanted to say, I can handle the rent," Zhou Shuyan proposed, "You don’t have to wait until you’ve earned the money to pay the rent."

"How can I let you take care of it? I can earn the rent money. Besides, it’s for my family to stay when they come to the Imperial Capital; there’s no need for you to cover my family’s expenses here," Lu Youxi reasoned, "You’ve already helped me enough; you shouldn’t need to spend on this."

"Moreover, we are only faux-married; you have even less reason to bear the expenses for my family. Not to mention faux-marriage, even if we were truly married, there’s no obligation for you to support my whole family," Lu Youxi asserted. "I am fully capable myself, with both hands and feet."
