Chapter 35: Chapter 35: You Are Really Lucky
Editor: Atlas Studios
However, until lunch was over, Young Master He never mentioned anything about it; instead, he seized every opportunity to flirt with her. Su Zixi was already busy enough sparring with him, and quickly put the matter to the back of her mind.
By the end of lunch, Su Zixi’s heart was about to leap out of her chest.
“Um, Young Master He…” She raised her wrist and glanced at her watch, saying seriously, “I have class this afternoon, so I need to leave now. Thank you for lunch.”
“So soon?” He Jingyao furrowed his brows slightly.
Su Zixi sincerely replied, “Yes, just that soon.”
“Alright then.” The man smiled, “Since I treated you to lunch, how about you buy me a drink of water?”
Su Zixi immediately nodded, “Of course! What would you like to drink?”
Given a chance to repay the favor, Su Zixi was eager to comply.
“Mineral water is fine,” He Jingyao smiled slightly.
“Okay, there’s a convenience store right next to the restaurant. I’ll be back in a moment.” Su Zixi said this while taking out her wallet and heading to the store, where she bought two bottles of mineral water.
Since she was returning the favor to Young Master He, Su Zixi chose the most expensive mineral water in the store—just two and a half yuan per bottle. She hurried back with the water and handed him a bottle.
He Jingyao took it, opened it, and seemingly glanced at the cap indifferently. Suddenly he smiled, “Su Zixi, you won.”
“Huh? Another bottle?” Su Zixi leaned closer to look and found the cap marked “First Prize,” leaving her somewhat dumbfounded.
“First Prize,” He Jingyao chuckled, tossing the cap to Uncle Li, “Go claim it.”
“Yes,” Uncle Li said, smiling as he took it.
Su Zixi was puzzled. She had never heard of this brand of mineral water having first, second, or third prizes?
Not long after, Uncle Li returned with a grin, “Young Master, the first prize is ten thousand yuan. I’ve already given the account number to the owner, who said it should be credited soon.”
Before Uncle Li finished speaking, Su Zixi heard a “ding” from her phone. She took it out and her eyes widened.
It was a bank message informing her that ten thousand yuan had just been deposited into her account…
Su Zixi looked up, staring blankly at He Jingyao. The man smiled, ruffling her hair, “It seems you’re quite lucky.”
Su Zixi snapped back to reality, “No way! This bottle of water was my treat. Even if it won a prize, it’s yours. How can you give it to me?”
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow, taking the unopened bottle from her hand and opening it. “This one won too. So this prize can be mine.”
He casually tossed the cap to Uncle Li and smiled innocently at Su Zixi, “You’re very lucky today.”
Su Zixi was stunned!
At this point, if she didn’t realize it was Young Master He’s clever trick, her intelligence would be in question.
No wonder he suddenly insisted on her buying him water…
He Jingyao probably knew that if he gave her money directly, she would definitely refuse. So he used this method to preclude any possibility of her declining.
Su Zixi clutched her phone, her eyes gradually growing moist.
If she refused again, wouldn’t that betray the man’s kind intentions? Moreover, ten thousand yuan was a sum she could accept without much psychological burden. Young Master He must have considered this too.
Thinking of this, Su Zixi smiled with teary eyes, “Yes, I’m really lucky.”
