Chapter 45 Honey, We Really Won the Lottery!
At this moment, inside Dormitory 503.
"Old Third hasn't returned, has he?"
Huang Haibao, who was battling in the canyon, turned his head to ask.
Yesterday, Huang Haibao noticed the class belle's affection, and today, connecting this with Shen Yuan's recent frequent overnight absences, he felt somewhat concerned.
Since moving to the dormitory, Shen Yuan had generally stayed at school and seldom stayed out overnight.
Even if there were once or twice, it was a couple of months ago, back when his relationship with the upperclassman hadn't ended.
"No."
Cao Shunjin shook his head and muttered, "Old Third wouldn't have gone to get a room with the class belle, would he?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Haibao didn't even feel like playing the game anymore. Just thinking about the class belle and Old Third kissing each other, his heart hurt badly.
"It's not impossible. After all, there's no class tomorrow morning, and they don't need to get up early."
Cao Shunjin added another line.
"Old Cao, shut the fuck up!"
"..."
The next morning, Shen Yuan called a Didi for Fang Minhui to return to school, and he took a taxi home himself.
Last night, he won a million on a lottery ticket on Fang Minhui, and he planned to use it to help his family pay off debts.
Winning the lottery was a low probability event, but it still had credibility, and at least he didn't need to explain the source of the funds, unlike other money on him.
In the back seat of the Didi, Shen Yuan summoned the panel and opened the million lottery ticket in his mind.
The next second, a double-color ball lottery ticket appeared out of thin air in Shen Yuan's hand.
He took a close look, and the ticket displayed the draw date as May 16, which was yesterday.
Shen Yuan had bought scratch cards before, but had never bought a double-color ball, so he looked up the rules for the double-color ball online.
Unknown until he checked, he was startled once he did!
The first prize wouldn't be less than five million and could even go up to ten million!
Shen Yuan thought the million lottery was just a million, but he had underestimated System.
Shen Yuan immediately opened a browser and began querying yesterday's winning numbers.
If it were the first prize, the 6 red numbers and 1 blue number on the ticket would all match.
Shen Yuan, holding the ticket, carefully checked yesterday's winning numbers.
"3, 4, 14, 22, 26, 27, the last one is...1!"
It's all matched!
Shen Yuan's breath suddenly became rapid. Though he knew these were definitely winning numbers, he couldn't suppress his excitement.
System is awesome!
Shen Yuan marveled inwardly, then continued to check the prize money for this first prize.
"Damn, six million!"
Shen Yuan, staring at the string of numbers starting with 6 on his phone screen, couldn't help but exclaim.
The Didi driver was startled by his yell and asked through the rearview mirror, "Young man, what's this about six million?"
"I won six million!"
The Didi driver was amused by him too and chuckled, "Young man, you must have read the numbers wrong. It's not that easy to win six million."
"Ah, right, sorry, I got it wrong."
Shen Yuan quickly came to his senses and laughed it off.
He knew the wisdom of not flaunting wealth; his outburst had just been a slip in his excitement.
In this world, the poor still outnumber the rich. It's not just strangers who might be envious; even relatives might not wish for you to do better than them.
After a while, the Didi stopped in front of the apartment building his family rented. Shen Yuan got out of the car while also thinking about how to talk to Old Shen and Ms. Li Hongjuan upstairs.
After all, it is a six million jackpot!
Shen Yuan couldn't even imagine what expressions his parents would have after hearing the news.
Ever since they went bankrupt, Old Shen and Mrs. Li Hongjuan had been living frugally, having sold their house and moved into a two-bedroom apartment without an elevator.
Old Shen had also sold his car and now rode a small electric scooter every day.
As Shen Yuan thought about it, he unconsciously climbed up to the fifth floor, took out his keys, opened the door, and, as usual, yelled, "I'm back!"
"You're back, so stop shouting!"
Li Hongjuan was mopping the floor at the time, and though she was quite pleased by the sight of her vibrant son, she couldn't help but scold him.
Shen Yuan was somewhat impatient, "Mom, where's Old Shen? Hurry up and get him; I have something important to tell him."
"What important thing?"
Li Hongjuan noticed some sweat on her son's forehead. She put down the mop, walked to the fridge, and handed him a slice of cold watermelon, "Your dad went out to run some errands, he should be back soon."
"Alright, then let's wait for him to come back to talk."
Shen Yuan smiled as he took the watermelon and started to devour it.
Mrs. Li Hongjuan was the typical tough-talker with a soft heart; even though she sounded harsh, she was always caring for her own.
Finally, at 11:30, Old Shen pushed open the door and came home.
Old Shen was drenched in sweat, his front and back soaked, and he even held an electric scooter helmet in his hand.
After all, it was over thirty degrees outside today, plus it was midday. Riding an electric scooter in such weather definitely wasn't pleasant.
However, Old Shen wouldn't have to ride an electric scooter anymore. With this prize money, not only could he pay off debts, but they could also switch to a new house and even buy a good car with the rest of the money.
Feeling delighted inside, Shen Yuan greeted him, "Old Shen, you're back."
"Mmm."
Shen Heping glanced at Shen Yuan as he changed out of his shoes, "Why did you decide to come home for a meal today?"
Shen Yuan smiled mysteriously, "I have something important to tell you two today."
"What is it?"
"Come, sit on the couch, and I'll tell you."
Shen Yuan pulled both of them onto the couch to sit down, his expression one of someone about to announce great news.
Li Hongjuan and Shen Heping quietly watched Shen Yuan, curious to see what he was actually up to.
"Mom, Dad, we're rich now!"
"I won six million!"
After Shen Yuan excitedly finished saying this, he awaited their shocked expressions, but to his surprise, Old Shen and Li Hongjuan didn't react at all and even looked at him as if he were foolish.
"Shen Yuan, did university mess up your brain?"
Li Hongjuan rolled her eyes and straightaway walked into the kitchen.
You won six million? How about you fly to the sky too then!
Shen Heping's expression was filled with concern, "Shen Yuan, have you been under too much stress lately? I'll handle the family debt, you don't need to worry too much."
"....."
With a grimace, Shen Yuan had no choice but to pull out the lottery ticket from his pocket and hand it to Shen Heping, "Old Shen, check yourself if this is the winning number for this lottery draw."
Shen Heping took the lottery ticket, glanced at it, then looked up at Shen Yuan, realizing he might not be joking, and took out his phone to check the winning numbers.
Shen Heping used to buy the lottery frequently, so he was very familiar with the rules and how to check the numbers.
After finding today's winning number, he instinctively started checking the numbers, muttering, "3...4...14...22..."
As soon as he realized the first four numbers were correct, Shen Heping's expression suddenly turned serious.
"26...27....1...."
When he saw the last number also matched, Shen Heping sharply inhaled.
"Wife, we really won!"
"....."
