America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 42: Will you take me out to play too?

"You two, something's wrong!"

At the dining table, Victoria took a sip of coffee, looked around at Li Xiaoen and Su Feier who were eating breakfast silently, and said in a deep voice.

"Is something wrong?"

Li Xiaoen picked up a piece of dry bread, dipped it in some beans, took a bite with a crunch, and swallowed it with difficulty. "Don't tell me, you want to see us quarreling?"

Since he was buying breakfast for Victoria, he simply bought three servings as she asked, so that he could experience the diet of a young lady.

The bread was hard and the beans were tasty, but what Li Xiaoen liked most was the sausage and soft-boiled egg that came with it.

As for the blackened roasted tomatoes and the unknown green vegetables tangled together, he had no appetite at all.

"Of course not."

Victoria rolled her eyes and looked at Li Xiaoen suspiciously, "I feel like the atmosphere between you two is like after a quarrel."

Is this little head so flexible?

Li Xiaoen was surprised and just opened his mouth to speak, but he saw Victoria turn around and face Sufeil.

"You are definitely a liar."

"..."

Okay, Li Xiaoen lowered his head and focused on his breakfast.

Why is this fried bacon as hard as cardboard?
After finally biting off a piece and putting it in his mouth, Li Xiaoen began to miss the sandwich he made as he felt the discomfort of the water chestnuts hitting the inner wall of his mouth.

To be honest, this breakfast contains eggs, meat and vegetables, which is undoubtedly healthy and looks good, but the taste is hard to praise.

On the other side, Victoria got the same perfunctory answer from Sufeil. She turned around and looked at Li Xiaoen with a resentful look.

"Miss Victoria, I didn't say anything, even if you thought I was lying to you."

Li Xiaoen took a sip of coffee and finally came to a conclusion about this breakfast - the best one was the coffee brewed by Victoria.

Victoria pursed her lips and looked over blankly: "So, are you going to tell me something?"

Li Xiaoen was stunned. The previously proud and intellectual princess actually had such a soft and delicate side. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "You mean the lie I'm about to tell?"

"..."

Victoria opened her eyes wide when she heard that, and after a long while she turned around indifferently and finally took her first bite of breakfast.

Oops, looks like I made her angry again.

Looking at Victoria eating breakfast in a daze, Li Xiaoen felt something was wrong.

"Actually, it wasn't really an argument. We just talked about some things."

This attracted the attention of the two girls at the table. Li Xiaoen tidied his words and said, "As you know, Su Feier and I have some conflicts. It all comes down to the tip for the delivery before school starts. We just need to talk it out."

In fact, he could also tell the truth that he gave Sophie breakfast out of courtesy in order to take care of Victoria, but this would undoubtedly be stepping on Sophie and boasting about himself.

Judging from the time Li Xiaoen has spent with Victoria, she would not like this answer even more.

Sometimes, honesty and etiquette cannot be achieved at the same time.

With a sigh in his heart, Li Xiaoen looked up at Su Feier who was looking at him blankly, "Don't you think so, Su Feier?"

"what……"

Sufeier came back to his senses, lowered his head, and poked the already rotten tomato with a fork, "It's about the same..."

"Does this answer satisfy you, Miss Victoria?"

Li Xiaoen turned around and looked at Victoria.

"okay."

Although she felt something was wrong, Victoria nodded in response.

"Are you calmed down?" Li Xiaoen leaned forward and asked again with a smile.

"Hmm... not bad."

What's the answer?
Li Xiaoen felt strange, but it was good that Victoria stopped ignoring him.

As long as the other person is willing to speak, Li Xiaoen has the confidence to coax or make the other person laugh.

"Right, Sean."

Victoria then remembered their conversation last night. "You said you wanted to ask me for help. What is it?"

"This one……"

Li Xiaoen glanced at Su Feier on the other side and said, "Let's wait and talk after breakfast."

Victoria blinked twice, glanced at Sufei unconsciously, and then nodded slightly.

Perhaps Sufeil heard the hidden meaning of Li Xiaoen's words, so he hurriedly finished his breakfast and went upstairs. Victoria turned around and looked at Li Xiaoen with a helpless look.

"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

"Well, Victoria, may I ask how much savings you have now?"

Li Xiaoen considered the words he had prepared long ago. This was the first time he had asked a girl for money. "I need money now. The more the better!"

"..."

After she finished speaking, Victoria froze in place under Li Xiaoen's gaze, her face gradually filled with fear.

"Sean...Sean you..."

"You won't develop any bad habits, will you?"

Victoria's face turned pale as she looked Li Xiaoen up and down. "Or did he participate in some illegal online activities, or was he scammed..."

"No, it's not that exaggerated."

Seeing Victoria's increasingly outrageous words, Li Xiaoen explained with a helpless smile, then held her shoulders and sat up straight.

Only then did he notice that the girl's face was pale and she was obviously still in shock, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.

"I'm fine. I've even signed up for the orientation party next week. Don't worry."

Li Xiaoen spoke soothingly in a slow voice. He was clearly talking about his own situation, but he was using it to comfort the obviously pampered rich girl in front of him. This weird sense of déjà vu made him feel mixed emotions.

"I borrowed it and will return it to you the next day in its original packaging."

"If that's the case, then why did you borrow it?"

Victoria was stunned when she heard this, and looked up at Li Xiaoen in confusion, "Could it be that he's trying to increase the deposit amount, take a screenshot to deceive others, or show off?"

Although based on her understanding of Li Xiaoen, this handsome and free-spirited young man would not do such a thing to brag, Victoria still couldn't help but ask more questions.

"Am I that boring?"

Li Xiaoen was immediately amused. He naturally couldn't reveal the system-given double-earning card. He couldn't think of a perfect excuse at the moment, so he had to bring up the account where his hourly wage was paid daily. "I recently saw an investment I'm very confident in. The more I invest today, the more I can withdraw tomorrow, and the more I'll earn!"

"Aside from stocks and foreign exchange, the only other way to make a profit in a day is through virtual currency."

Victoria muttered to herself, frowning, "Investments that seek short-term profits are extremely risky. Are you sure you can do this?"

How come a girl knows more than him?

Li Xiaoen thought chauvinistically in his heart and nodded vigorously, "Yes, Victoria, please believe me, I am very sure!"

"is it?"

Victoria couldn't help but blinked curiously, "I'll lend you the money, what kind of investment, will you take me to play with it?"

Li Xiaoen: “???”
