Su Xi was waiting idly for the game man to come back from outside when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
Her good friend and deskmate Gu Qin poked her head in and shook the bag of snacks in her hand with a smile: “Su Xi, we are here to see you!”
Su Xi asked in surprise: “Why are you here?”
She had only been playing games in the hospital. And although the baby was very cute, she was almost sick of it and needed desperately to see a living person.
“I missed you. Today we had a math test, which was very difficult. The head teacher even asked us to bring the test paper to you today.” Gu Qin said, then she walked in and sat down beside the bed, spread out the snack bag in front of Su Xi, and said, “I brought you potato chips.”
Su Xi was not polite and opened the potato chips package: “Thank you.”
Huo Jingchuan followed Gu Qin in, holding a small wallet in his hand.
Su Xi asked: “What?”
“Didn’t you say you were short of money last time you called?” Huo Jingchuan raised his eyebrows and said, “A few of our friends have used their pocket money to gather some for you, but it’s not much, just over a thousand. Let’s see if it can solve your urgent need.”
He and Gu Qin thought that Su Xi was unlucky again and had damaged some goods or glass display racks and needed to pay compensation.
After all, this kind of unfortunate thing happened frequently to Su Xi.
He and Gu Qin had witnessed Su Xi’s misfortunes since they were young. They were incredulous at the beginning but now they had become very calm.
“You guys–” Su Xi looked at Gu Qin, then at Huo Jingchuan, sniffed, and was speechless for a long time.
She didn’t expect that just because she called and said she needed money, her two good friends would immediately raise money for her.
More than a thousand yuan was not a small amount of money for a high school student.
These two people probably secretly took some money from home and then extorted some of the meal money from other students.
“It’s not like we’re stopping you from paying it back. Wait until your leg is healed and then go work on the weekends to pay us back.” Gu Qin said.
“Yes.” Huo Jingchuan said sarcastically, “Or you can just go after Yin Yao, the rich second-generation school idol from the science class. If you catch him, will you still have to worry about lack of money?”
The sour feeling in Su Xi’s nose and the touched heart that she had accumulated with great effort were suddenly gone.
She threw a bag of jelly at him: “Shut up.”
Su Xi held the more than a thousand yuan in the small wallet, but she didn’t intend to take it.
The main thing was that even if she accepted it, this thousand yuan was just a drop in the bucket. Her family was now in debt of one hundred thousand yuan.
Etc–
Su Xi suddenly remembered something that she had almost forgotten. Didn’t she buy a lottery ticket a few days ago? Wasn’t today the day of the lottery?
Su Xi suddenly jumped down from the bed on one leg and said to Gu Qin, “Gu Qin, help me downstairs. I bought a lottery ticket three days ago. The prize is going to be drawn today. I want to claim the prize.”
“What the hell?” Gu Qin was amused and pushed Su Xi’s forehead: “Did you become stupid after being hospitalized? Anyone can win the lottery, but you who has a body that is possessed by the god of misfortune? It’s absolutely impossible.”
Su Xi herself didn’t believe it, but she always felt that the game was a little mysterious. These two days, she asked the nurses if they wanted to play this game, but when the nurses opened their phones, they couldn’t find the game in the app store. In other words, it only appeared in her phone.
What did this mean? This was so weird.
Moreover, it was better to believe it existed than not to believe it. Poor people must grasp every ray of hope.
She grabbed Gu Qin’s arm and skipped downstairs.
Huo Jingchuan followed them downstairs, holding a bag of Little Raccoon instant noodles in his hand. He looked at Su Xi as if he were a fool, but since Su Xi was in a good mood and had to make a fuss, he joined Su Xi in making a fuss: “Stop jumping around, I’ll carry you on my back.”
Two girls and one boy left the inpatient department and walked to the lottery shop outside the hospital gate.
A group of lottery players inside were staring at the screen nervously, waiting for the prize draw.
Huo Jingchuan squeezed in with Su Xi on his back. Su Xi took out the ticket she had bought a few days ago and handed it to the lottery shop owner.
On the one hand, she felt like she was crazy for believing what a game system said, but on the other hand, her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
She called out nervously, “Boss, look at this number.”
The boss pointed to the screen on the wall and said, “The winning numbers will be out soon.”
He glanced at Su Xi nonchalantly from under his glasses, took the lottery ticket, and muttered, “It’s obvious that this little girl is buying a lottery ticket for the first time. Why is she so nervous? Her palms are too sweaty, right?”
“Girl, please keep calm. The chances of winning are too low. Don’t lose all your pocket money-“
Having said that, he suddenly stopped.
The boss’ pupils shrank suddenly and he was stunned, staring at the string of numbers on the screen. He then looked down at the lottery ticket Su Xi gave him and felt like he was struck by lightning.
He looked at the numbers on the screen again: “F**k, you – little girl you -“
“Plop.” The Little Raccoon instant noodles in Huo Jingchuan’s hand fell to the ground and spilled all over the floor.
He just glanced casually and noted down the lottery numbers.
Damn, Su Xixi’s lottery numbers were exactly the same as the first prize winning numbers on the screen!
The first prize was — three million???
His eyes almost popped out.
This world had gone crazy… Even Su Xi could win the lottery… Had her sixteen years of bad luck finally turned into good luck?
The lottery players in the lottery shop all realized something and looked towards Su Xi in shock.
Su Xi stood on the ground, almost unable to stand steadily, and the blood rushed to her head.
Was she seeing things… or was she dreaming?
Three million???
Ahhhh three million!!! She had never seen so much money in her life! How could she spend it all?!
She was in a messy state, and the first thought that flashed through her mind was – wait, could she buy some krypton gold for her baby?!
