Chapter 33 The young woman initiates a private chat in the middle of the night 1

Father paused for a moment, composed his emotions, and said again:

"Son, don't worry. I'm here for the family. Just focus on your studies at school and take good care of yourself."

"As for that money, you don't need to transfer it to us. Your mother and I have some savings; it's enough."

"Keep it for yourself. Buy some good food at school and don't deprive yourself. If you run short on tuition or living expenses, let us know."

"Dad, this is my gesture, please just accept it."

Lin Chen's tone was firm and brooked no refusal.

"I have enough money for myself. Don't work so hard, Mom and you. Taking care of your health is more important than anything."

"In the future, I will earn even more money to give you a good life."

Father urged him a few more times, telling him to study hard at school, not to spend money recklessly, and not to cause trouble.

Lin Chen responded to each point and chatted with his parents about daily life, asking about the crops at home and how Father's work was going.

Only when his parents urged him to rest early did he reluctantly hang up the phone.

The moment he hung up, Lin Chen's tears finally couldn't be held back.

It wasn't sadness, but relief and a sense of release—the regrets of his past life could finally be mended a little in this one.

He had wanted to give more money, but feared his parents would become suspicious if he gave too much. Besides, money in his own hands could be turned into even more money faster.

He wiped his tears, a relieved smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

He immediately opened his mobile banking app, skillfully entered his mother's bank card number, entered the amount of 100,000, and confirmed the transfer.

Within a few seconds, his phone vibrated, and a bank notification popped up:

[Your account ending in XXXX has transferred 100,000.00 Yuan, balance is 1,340,980.20 Yuan.]

Lin Chen looked at the balance in the text message, a flash of sharpness in his eyes, and the smile on his lips deepened.

He subconsciously gripped his phone, calculating inwardly.

He hadn't expected that even after deducting the 100,000 transferred to his parents, there was still so much money left—enough to start his plan.

"It's time to prepare to establish my own investment company."

In his past life, although he didn't have much money, he had seen many people get rich through investing.

He just suffered from a lack of capital and couldn't put it into practice.

Now, he had this startup capital.

With the added advantage of his memories from his previous life, he believed it wouldn't be long before he would be raking in the money and truly achieving financial freedom.

Only with money could he truly experience the happiness of the wealthy and have the sufficient ability to protect the people he wanted to protect.

Only then could he let his parents enjoy their twilight years in peace, and never have to suffer the grievances of his past life again.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen's heart was filled with motivation and anticipation for the future.

Time passed quickly, and his three roommates had all returned.

The dormitory lights went out on time, and the roommates all lay down one by one. Soon, the sound of gentle breathing filled the room.

Only the occasional sound of wind outside the window remained, along with the faint glow of Lin Chen's phone screen.

Lin Chen lay in bed, closed his eyes, and was just about to sleep, his mind still calculating the matters of establishing the investment company.

Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated.

The screen lit up instantly, and a WeChat avatar blinked, standing out conspicuously.

He subconsciously picked up the phone, unlocked the screen, and opened WeChat.

The moment he saw the avatar, Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

It was Li Sisi, that beautiful older sister he had met at the cinema the day before yesterday.

She had a hot figure and an outstanding appearance, which had left a deep impression on him at the time.

He never expected that less than two days later, Li Sisi would actually take the initiative to message him.

Lin Chen's heartbeat instantly quickened, and his fingertips felt slightly numb.

A flash of surprise and astonishment crossed his eyes, along with a hint of imperceptible anticipation.

In the WeChat chat box, the message Li Sisi sent was particularly eye-catching, carrying a touch of coquettishness:

"My Handsome Guy, what are you busy with?"

Lin Chen stared at this message, dazed, as the image of Li Sisi instantly flashed through his mind.

Long hair draped over her shoulders, curved eyebrows, and two shallow dimples when she smiled—gentle and moving.

He couldn't help but fantasize whether Li Sisi was lying alone in her room right now, staring blankly at her phone,

carefully editing this message, filled with a touch of shyness and anticipation, waiting for his reply.

In the few seconds he was dazed, the phone vibrated again.

Li Sisi sent another message, her tone carrying a touch of grievance, tenderness, and a hint of caution:

"Are you asleep? I can't sleep."

Lin Chen's heartbeat quickened even more, and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth involuntarily.

It hadn't even been two days, and she had taken the initiative to message him, even saying she couldn't sleep. What did this mean?

Could it be that she was interested in him?

Thinking of this, ripples spread in Lin Chen's heart. Regarding this older sister he met at the cinema,

he had already had some good feelings and a few unrealistic fantasies.

Although approaching Li Sisi was a system task at first, after interacting with women these past few days,

especially after the in-depth communication and education from Counselor Su Qingran and the maid Su Wan yesterday noon,

his mindset had undergone a great change.

He was no longer the dull, insecure person from his past life,

and had also started to somewhat enjoy the taste of that kind of skin-to-skin contact and ambiguous tug-of-war—the primal sport.

"Is this what it feels like to be 'developed'?"

Lin Chen muttered inwardly, a hint of ambiguous laughter flashing in his eyes.

His fingertips tapped rapidly on the phone screen, and without the slightest hesitation, he replied:

"Not asleep yet. Just turned off the lights and was lying in bed staring blankly."

The message was sent, and in less than two seconds,

the phone vibrated again. Li Sisi's reply arrived instantly, so fast that it even surprised Lin Chen.

It was clear she must have been staring at her phone screen, waiting for his reply.

Li Sisi: "Ah?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Didn't I just disturb your rest?"

"I just really couldn't sleep, and with no one to talk to, I thought of you. I'm sorry for intruding; please don't be angry~"

Looking at the coquettish tilde at the end of the message, Lin Chen's heart softened.

His fingertips tapped the screen again, replying:

"No, no, not disturbing at all. I was just bored too."

"With no one to chat with, I'm actually happy that you messaged me."

Li Sisi: "That's good, that's good. I was afraid you'd be angry~"

Li Sisi: "By the way, what have you been busy with these past two days?"

"Are there many university courses?"

"Have you adapted to school life?"

Lin Chen looked at the messages on the screen, the smile on his lips never fading, his fingertips replying nimbly:

"It's okay, it's okay. The courses aren't too many."

"After all, school just started. It's mainly about getting familiar with the college environment and basic knowledge."

"I've been walking around the school, getting to know new classmates and teachers, and I'm slowly adapting to school life."

In the time that followed, Li Sisi's topics were endless.

Like a young girl who had just fallen in love, she chattered away, sharing everything about herself with him,

from trivial matters at work to the joys and sorrows of life,

her tone filled with sincerity, without the slightest pretense.
