The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

In the restaurant.

The long dining table was laden with breakfast.

Chinese, Western, Japanese... all kinds of styles, a dazzling array.

Li Ruo's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the food on the table.

What kind of look was that?

It was like a mouse seeing rice, like Grandet seeing gold, like... like she seeing five billion.

No, she has five billion now.

But when she sees free, delicious food, she still looks at it with the same expression.

It can't be changed.

"Wow..." she exclaimed sincerely.

Zhou Si placed her on a chair, sat down opposite her, and casually pointed:

Eat whatever you like.

Li Ruo didn't stand on ceremony and picked up her chopsticks to start eating.

Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings)

She took a bite, the broth bursting in her mouth. She squinted, and a number automatically popped into her mind:

This one bite costs at least fifty yuan.

Fried dough sticks.

Crispy, fragrant, and not greasy.

This fried dough stick isn't the ordinary kind; it's the kind that the city bumpkins in Beijing eat for fifty yuan a stick.

soy milk.

Delicate, smooth, and with a rich bean aroma.

This soy milk should be freshly ground; let's say it's thirty yuan a bowl.

Fried egg.

The egg yolk was runny, the golden liquid melting on her tongue.

This egg, was it laid by a free-range chicken? Or perhaps a nutritious egg from a free-range chicken that eats a particularly nutritious diet.

In addition, the sandwich contained avocado, smoked salmon, and some kind of cheese that I couldn't identify.

There was also a fruit salad with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and other berries she couldn't name. It has to be said that Zhou Si is very good at combining ingredients.

Li Ruo ate with relish, bite by bite, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

She felt like she wasn't just eating breakfast to fill her stomach, but rather savoring a delicious meal.

Zhou Si sat opposite her, watching her eat.

Watching her squint her eyes in satisfaction, seeing the food crumbs on the corners of her mouth, watching her eat like a little hamster.

He always had a smile on his face.

"Is it tasty?"

"Uh-huh."

Li Ruo nodded, her mouth still stuffed with something, her cheeks bulging.

"tasty."

She pointed to the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings): "These are delicious."

He then pointed to the fried dough sticks: "These are delicious too."

He then pointed to the sandwich: "This one too—"

Zhou Si reached out and gently wiped the jam from the corner of her mouth with his thumb:

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

Li Ruo was stunned for a moment.

She looked at his fingers, at the little bit of jam on his thumb, and then watched him lick it off with remarkable ease.

She blinked, looking a little embarrassed, then immediately lowered her head and continued eating.

Is this big wolfhound a cat? It loves licking her leftovers so much.

So he's a big wolf cat now?

-

After breakfast, Zhou Si took her for a walk on the beach.

The sand was white and fine, and felt soft underfoot.

The waves surged in and receded again and again, leaving behind a damp trail.

Li Ruo walked barefoot on the beach, leaving a trail of footprints.

She took two steps, glanced down at the beach, took two more steps, and glanced down again.

Zhou Si followed behind her, watching her furtive behavior, and couldn't help but ask:

"What are you looking at?"

Without turning her head, Li Ruo said, "I was thinking, it would be great if we could pack up this beach and take it with us."

Zhou Si: "..."

Li Ruo continued talking to herself:

"This sand is so white and so fine, it definitely isn't ordinary sand. Was it shipped from the Maldives? Or Australia? How much does it cost per ton? How much would this entire beach cost?"

Zhou Si fell silent.

As he watched her retreating figure, he suddenly realized that the five billion he had worked so hard to earn over the past five years might have been all for this moment.

To get her to stand on his beach, he carefully estimated how much the beach was worth, and then realized: Oh, I can afford it.

The sunlight shone on her, giving her a golden glow.

Her hair was blown by the sea breeze, and her skirt swayed gently. She turned to look at him, laughing carefree.

"Zhou Si, hurry up!"

Zhou Si smiled, strode up, and grabbed her hand.

Why are you walking so fast?

"Look at the sea!"

"What's so interesting about the sea?"

"It's beautiful! Look!"

Li Ruo pointed into the distance:

"The sky and the sea merge together, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other. Do you know how much a square meter of this kind of sea view room costs? No, there are no rooms here, the entire island is yours."

"How much is this island worth?"

Zhou Si looked in the direction she pointed, and it was indeed very beautiful.

But he felt that she was more beautiful.

He looked down at her.

Looking into her bright, sparkling eyes, her long hair tousled by the sea breeze, and her radiant smile.

He suddenly called her name: "Li Ruo".

"Um?"

"How about we take a walk on the beach every day from now on?"

Li Ruo turned to look at him and blinked: "You come every day?"

"Um."

Aren't you busy?

"not busy."

Zhou Si looked at her, his gaze unusually earnest.

From now on, your affairs will be my most important affairs.

Li Ruo was stunned.

Looking into his earnest eyes, and seeing the unwavering determination in them, her heart skipped a beat.

Then she smiled sweetly: "Okay. I'll come every day."

Zhou Si smiled too.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

"Baby……"

Li Ruo: "Huh?!"

Zhou Si remained emotional: "Thank you for coming back."

Li Ruo leaned against him, listening to his strong heartbeat.

A gentle sea breeze blew by, carrying a salty, damp scent.

She took a deep breath, then said, "Zhou Si."

"Um?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"ask."

"that……"

She looked up, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of anticipation, caution, and an undisguised greed.

"Six billion, should we deposit it in a bank or invest it in wealth management products? If in a bank, should we keep it in a current account or a fixed deposit? If we invest, is the principal guaranteed? What would the rate of return be?"

Zhou Si looked down at her.

Looking into her eyes, which seemed to scream, "Tell me, tell me!"

He remained silent for a full three seconds before giving a faint smile.

"Li Ruo".

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"Fifty billion, you can spend it however you want. Put it in the bank, invest in wealth management products, buy an island, buy a beach, buy xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), anything goes."

Li Ruo's eyes lit up: "Anything is fine?"

"Anything is fine."

"That……"

She licked her lips, her voice trembling slightly: "Can I really spend money however I want?"

Seeing her like this, Zhou Si's heart softened completely.

He lowered his head and placed a light, gentle kiss on her lips, then said:

"Yeah, spend it however you like."

"What if you run out of flowers?"

"I made a profit."

Li Ruo blinked: "Didn't you already give me all the money you earned?"

Zhou Si laughed, a wild and roguish laugh, tinged with arrogance, smugness, and a "I'm the best in the world" kind of swagger.

"Then I'll earn more. I'll give it to you when I've earned it."

Li Ruo looked at the light in his eyes, then smiled slightly, reached out, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her face in his chest.

"Zhou Si".

"Um?"

"It's so kind of you."

That's a whopping five billion! She wouldn't even dare to dream of something that big.

Zhou Si lowered his head, resting his chin on the top of her head.

A gentle sea breeze blows, and the warm sunshine shines down.

He said softly, "You're only just realizing that?"

Li Ruo's muffled voice came from his chest: "I should have known."

"How early?"

Five years ago.

Zhou Si was stunned for a moment, then he hugged her even tighter.

After a long while, Li Ruo's muffled voice came again: "Zhou Si."

"Um?"

"Can I ask one more question?"

"ask."

"that……"

She looked up, her eyes sparkling: "How much interest would you get in a day if you deposited 5 billion in a bank?"

Zhou Si looked down at her, completely at a loss, and smiled helplessly.

"perhaps……"

He thought about it carefully: "About two hundred thousand."

Li Ruo's eyes widened instantly: "One day?!"

"Yes, one day."

Li Ruo fell silent.

She lowered her head and began to count on her fingers.

Looking at her serious expression, Zhou Si couldn't help but ask:

"What does that even mean?"

Li Ruo didn't even look up:

"I'm calculating. If I can earn over 200,000 a day just by lying down and not moving, then I'll earn over 200,000 every time I open my eyes. So I'll be making money even while I'm sleeping. So I—"

She looked up, her eyes flashing with an alarming light:

"Then wouldn't I be making money even while I'm breathing?"

Zhou Si: "..."

He was amused by her again, laughing more happily than ever before, and then reached out to pull her back into his arms.

"Yes. You make money even when you breathe."

Li Ruo leaned against him, smiling like a cat that had stolen a fish: "Then I'll take a break from work for now, I—"

Zhou Si lowered his head and silenced her with a kiss.

After a long while, he finally released her, looked at her flushed face, and whispered:

"Baby, do you know what I love most about you?"

"What?"

"Look at the way you're calculating money."

Li Ruo: "..." So that's how it's been exposed?

"You're a pervert," she said guiltily.

"Um."

Zhou Si smiled, a smile so gentle it was unlike him:

"I'm a pervert. So perverted that I'm willing to give you five billion just to see you counting money next to me every day."

Li Ruo raised an eyebrow: "You're keeping me by your side just so you can watch me calculate money?"

Zhou Si stammered for a long time: "It's...not that simple."

"So what other ideas do you have?" Li Ruo asked him, standing on tiptoe.

She was wearing a beach dress with a very low neckline, and the moment she leaned forward slightly, her eye-catching figure was completely exposed to Zhou Si's eyes.

The man's face instantly turned bright red. He instinctively tried to look away, but couldn't help glancing at it again.

"There's...there's more."

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he tried to swallow hard.

"How did you manage that in the car last night?"

Li Ruo smiled and raised an eyebrow: "You mean I used my hands?"

Zhou Si scratched the tip of his nose with his finger, his gaze wandering elsewhere, and replied in a muffled nasal tone:

"……hold head high."

Li Ruo: "Want to hear about my experiences breeding pigs?"

Zhou Si: "???"

Li Ruo continued, "Oh! And the cats and dogs too, all handmade by me... you know what I mean."

Zhou Si: "..."

More than just understanding!

He even experienced it firsthand!

This brat actually treats him like a cat or dog... But then again,

The technology is pretty good?
