They looked at each other for a moment and then, after a brief discussion, ordered three glasses of lime, a large portion of French fries, a cream bun, a spiced spring roll, three pairs of grilled Orleans wings, and six strings of meat and bone.

Gu Zi asked as he took out a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet to pay the bill. When the money left the wallet, it brought out something else: a folded piece of paper, in black and white.

Gu Zi asked as he bent down to pick it up. Only then did he realize that it was a lottery ticket.

He thought back for a moment, then remembered that he had told Alec to buy it that day.

At that time, Ali had even taken out his own money and bought an extra hundred bets. He said, "Young Master, can I bribe you not to send me to night school?"

In the end, he was kicked again and scolded, "Is your young master someone who changed his mind for the sake of one hundred yuan?"

With no hope of leaving school, Ah Lie tried to minimize his losses. "Then you must return the money to me."

He rolled his eyes at him, "You still want to return the money in my hands?"

A'Lie couldn't accept the outcome and went to appeal to Teacher Tang.

When Teacher Tang heard this, she said very impartially, "Ah Lie, this is your mistake. How can you bribe the young master with a hundred yuan? Fifty yuan is more than enough."

This was his mother, his mother, his mother!

He threw a hundred and two pieces to A-Lie on the spot. The other two pieces would be the prosecution fee. He stuffed the lottery ticket into his wallet out of anger and forgot to exchange it.

Since it had fallen out, he might as well test his luck.

Gu Zi asked and returned to his seat. He immediately opened his phone and went online to check on the results of Twin Balls' lottery. In order to feel like he was accepting a prize, he even made her hold the phone and announced the numbers one by one, just like when the prize was opened. He held the lottery ticket and checked it one by one. In addition, he had also explained in advance that this lottery ticket was his money. She had given him inspiration, and it was a result of their common labor. If he really won, then the prize money would be 50% for each of them.

Ming Xue Mo didn't expect him to actually buy a lottery ticket. She covered her face and laughed lightly, asking, "Read the red ball or the blue ball first."

"Blue ball."

She began announcing, "10."

Gu Zi asked, "Oh ~" before flipping through the lottery rules behind the lottery ticket. He then said in disbelief, "…" "Yes." It was obvious that he couldn't believe his luck. To be able to win a prize in every unsuitable day, is he trying to defy the heavens?

Ming Xue Mo was also stunned, winning so easily?

"What's the bonus?" she asked excitedly, not noticing that the conditions for winning the prize and the single wager were clearly written on the phone.

Gu Ziwen extended a hand. "Five pieces." He quickly calculated, "We bought 100 stakes and the total reward is 500 yuan. The two of them will split it equally, two hundred and fifty yuan each. "

The moment he said that, he immediately spat three times and changed his tone, "Forget it, I don't want the prize money anymore. It's all for you." He's not going to be two hundred and fifty. Today really wasn't a good day. It was the first time in his life that he had won the lottery, but in the end, this sum of money was enough to make others worry.

What happened next was enough to prove how strange this day was.

Ming Xue Mo gave him the number of the first red ball, "02."

Gu Zi asked, glancing at the six numbers one by one. It was hard to conceal his excitement. "There is."

The second number was "06."

He grew more and more excited. "Yes."

Third number, "12."

"…" Gu Ziquan's eyes immediately darkened with excitement. "No." His disappointment was written all over his face. One more number and he would be awarded the fifth place prize.

Mingxue had told him not to give up, there were three left unannounced.

Then he read the fourth number, "17."

Gu Zi asked, "Yes." He was so happy that his voice rose.

At the same time, he clasped his hands together and held the lottery ticket in the middle, mumbling something like a wizard, "Heaven spirit, earth spirit, God of Fortune, please bless me for winning the lottery."

Even though the first and second prizes were hopeless, it was not bad to get a third prize. It was a perfect match for his ranking.

He felt very nervous, just like how a teacher would announce the results and rankings after an examination.

Ming Xue Mo looked at him begging for allegiance and smiled as she read out the fifth number: "18."

Gu Zi asked with a belch, his expression extremely complicated.

Ming Xue Mo looked at him curiously. Was this expression, yes or no?

Sensing her confusion, he stretched out his hand and made an "OK" gesture to her. He was frightened by the sudden good fortune and almost choked on his saliva.

Mingxue slightly widened her eyes in disbelief. Was their luck really that good?

Quickly announce the last number.

The last number is...

"Your phone is out of battery." She said very unluckily.

"What?" Gu Zi's heart skipped a beat, then he suddenly dropped back to his original position. He took the phone in disbelief, staring at it with a resentful look, "How can there be no electricity at such a crucial moment!"

Without bothering to charge his phone, he casually threw it on the table and said to Mingxue, "Take out your phone."

Mingmei took out her cell phone from her schoolbag and handed it to him.

Gu Zi pressed the unlock button, and the screen displayed "TouchID or enter password". He then asked, "Password?"

"2016."

He entered it immediately and successfully unlocked it. He immediately opened his browser and did not forget to taunt her, "Your password is too casual."

Ming Xue Mo smiled but didn't say anything, secretly deciding in her heart that it was time to change the password.

After Gu Zi asked about the winning results, he returned the phone to Ming Xue Mo and said, "Take a look."

Seeing that he was being so particular, Ming Xue Mo took the phone and cleared her throat as if she had seen something. She then said in Mandarin, which was even more standard than the newscast broadcaster, "19."

Gu Zi asked for the last number, but in order to be cautious, he still took out the lottery ticket and confirmed it. He stared at the thin piece of paper, his eyes unmoving, but his pupils dilated infinitely. Then, he suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Yes!"

Ming Xue Mo asked in disbelief: "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Gu Zi asked as he handed the lottery ticket over to her so she could look at it for herself. He then started to calculate again, and the third prize was three thousand yuan. He bought one hundred bets, and the reward was … Three hundred thousand …

Gu Zi asked, unable to hide the excitement in his heart. He actually had a day where he could earn money by buying lottery tickets as well. He had to praise her, "Little girl, you are my lucky star." This was a great breakthrough in his life.

He took the lottery ticket back from her hands in disbelief. He resisted the urge to kiss her, and said with a beaming smile, "I'll keep this for now. After we finish eating, we'll go and receive the prize."

Ming Xue Mo also had a smile on her face, could this even be counted as the first pot of gold in her life? She could not have imagined that her first pot of gold was earned by buying a lottery ticket.

What a wonderful encounter.

How lucky it was that she had met him.

"Alright."

Gu Zi asked as he stuffed the lottery ticket into his closest pocket. The feeling of having money in his pocket was simply too wonderful.

"Boss —" He announced that he was going to celebrate his first win by losing money. "Three more chicken legs."

"…" Ming Xue Mo's face hurt from her smile. "You're such a spendthrift."

Gu Si returned from the washroom and saw the two of them smiling like a pair of Tilly. She curiously asked, "What are you two talking about? So happy?"

Gu Zi asked and leaned close to his ear, whispering, "We've won the lottery."

"He won a prize?" Gu Si's voice rose to a high pitch.

Gu Zi looked at him with a worried expression. He took the opportunity to teach him, "Son, you don't show your wealth, do you understand?" What if someone had the intention to do something?

He calmly looked around the restaurant. Although there weren't many people here, there were indeed people who cast sidelong glances at him.

Gu Si said, "Did I get into trouble?" He looked back and forth between Gu Wen Wen and Ming Xue Mo, then asked for their opinion in a soft voice, "Then I'll remedy this?"

"What are you going to do about it?" Gu Zi asked, looking at him obliquely.

Gu Si lowered his voice to give them a precaution. "Children's words are always spoken without restraint. Don't mind what I say next." Then he said in a voice even louder than when he had shouted that he had won the prize, "Then I want more brothers and sisters, don't I?"

Ming Xue Mo's pretty face was suddenly covered in red clouds. If it wasn't for Gu Si's prior warning, she would have definitely jumped up and questioned him in a stern voice: "What nonsense are you spouting?" However, even though he greeted her first, she was still scared by his unrelenting method to remedy the situation. Her heart stopped beating for a few beats, and all the blood in her body rushed to her head.

Not to mention that she was a girl who had yet to experience the world, even Gu Qishao, who had never eaten pork but had seen many pigs walking, was shocked by his son's "heroic words".

He looked down at her in astonishment until he noticed that more and more people were watching. Only then did he realize what Ming Xue Mo wanted to do and what she didn't want to do. He slammed the table and said angrily: "You little brat, you can't say anything about your first three months of pregnancy, don't you know?"

Ming Xue's face was so red that it was as if it was soaked in blood, drooling. She pouted her cheeks in anger, embarrassed and annoyed, "You!"

Gu Si hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

There were even various postures of apology.

Gu Zi asked from the side. "He's still young and doesn't understand much. Don't take him personally."

Ming Xue Mo really wanted to ask him, "Gu Si is still young, what about you?", but she felt that this topic would only get more outrageous the more they chatted. She could only swallow down all of her bashful emotions.

She wanted to persuade herself that if they hadn't dragged her in to save the situation, Gu Si's reaction would have been very alert from the point of view of the onlookers.

It was all because of the ambiguous meaning behind the word 'winning'. Furthermore, compared to the tiny probability of winning the lottery, when people mentioned winning, they would think more about getting pregnant. This was the same as speaking a New Oriental language. The others asked, "Didn't New Oriental learn to cook?" Or when you mention Michelin's restaurant, someone asks, "Isn't Michelin a tire seller?" Same thing.

At that moment, a waiter came to deliver the meal. Gu Si quickly picked up a cup of lime and placed it beside her hand. He looked at her with a fawning expression and said, "I know I was wrong."

Gu Zi asked as he picked up a glass and placed it on the table before continuing to speak up for Gu Si. "You see, he knows he's done wrong. Just forgive him."

Seeing how the two of them were acting, Ming Xuemei was both annoyed and amused. She accepted the drink offered by Gu Si and purposely refused to give him face, saying, "What if I don't forgive you?"

Gu Zi asked as he pushed the cup towards her. "Then I'll give you this cup as well."

Ming Xue Mo strangely blinked her eyes, her curling eyelashes flapping like clear feathers, she was extremely beautiful.

Were they planning on using quantity to cause a qualitative change? But she wasn't sure if they were trying to get her to forgive them with two drinks, or if they were trying to fill her up with two drinks so she wouldn't have to eat anything else.

You wish, the fries are hers, the cream buns are hers too … Holding the drink and taking a sip, she cast a sidelong glance at Gu Si before glancing at her schoolbag as if it were nothing. She warned him, "Next time, it won't happen again."

Gu Si chuckled as he grabbed the remaining drink with a smile on his face. He quickly gulped a few mouthfuls to calm himself down. Big Sister Xue Mo was a bit careful when she threatened him to take supplementary lessons? How terrifying …

Since the two of them were already drinking, Gu Qishao also pushed him towards the cup in front of Ming Xue Mo and took it back. He even raised his glass to invite her over, "Let's clink glasses. No matter what, this can be considered as a happy occasion."

Ming Xue Mo felt that there was a hint of flirtation in his words, and it sounded exactly the same as when he was pregnant.

"Hurry up and eat."

"Right, right, right. After eating, go receive the award."

"How much did you get?" Gu Si asked curiously. This time, he also learnt his lesson and asked in a soft voice.

"Three hundred thousand," Gu Zi asked.

"Three …" Gu Si almost became excited again, but Ming Xue quickly stuffed a chicken wing into his mouth, stopping him from exposing himself again.

Gu Si then nibbled on the chicken wing before quietly asking, "So much money, do you want to take a gunny sack to store it?"

Mingxue, who was drinking juice, almost spat it out. Gu Zi also asked, looking resentfully at his beloved son, "You're going to take this gunny sack, are you going to receive the prize, or are you going to rob?"
