I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!

The courtyard in front of me is so spacious and open that it's almost as big as half a football field.

Looking at the layout of the courtyard, the flower beds, vegetable gardens, grape trellises, and pond are arranged in a well-organized manner.

Not only are the elements abundant and comprehensive, but the key is that they look beautiful.

The various colors are exquisite and extremely beautiful, making it impossible to look away.

If you hadn't walked in, and were just in the alley, separated by the courtyard wall, who would have imagined that such a different world existed inside?

Of course, the most eye-catching feature in the courtyard is the kitchen, which is enclosed by a huge transparent glass wall in the middle of the courtyard.

Inside the transparent glass room, under the shadows of the trees, a play of light and shadow creates a beautiful interplay of light and dark.

It contains not only a variety of new kitchen appliances.

It is further complemented by an exquisite marble countertop, along with high-quality solid wood tables and chairs.

It's so beautiful that you can't help but exclaim in admiration.

Such a courtyard is practically the dream courtyard that countless people yearn for.

Wang Xiao was stunned, and asked dumbfoundedly, "Old Lu, don't tell me this is your new house?"

Lu Zhaoyang immediately laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, that's really true. Now that we're inside, if it weren't mine, wouldn't barging in be considered trespassing?"

"Damn, you've been hiding this for ages! You didn't just come back because you couldn't make it in Nancheng; you've clearly come back to live like a god!"

Ok!

Wang Xiao's chubby face jiggled as he spoke, his tone a mix of amusement and exasperation.

The way she looked at Lu Zhaoyang was filled with unspoken sorrow, as if she were looking at a heartless man.

Lu Zhaoyang looked somewhat innocent: "Brother Xiao, I didn't say anything."

Lu Zhaoyang couldn't help but reflect in his heart that he hadn't done anything in the past, so how did he leave his roommate with such a down-and-out impression?

Wang Xiao opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, this old classmate didn't say a word from beginning to end.

All of these speculations were just his own imagination and conjecture.

To be honest, you can't blame him for overthinking and making wild guesses.

There's a cautionary tale about Lu Zhaoyang, my old classmate.

Back in college, Lu Zhaoyang was used to handling things on his own and didn't like to bother others.

On two occasions when he was short of money, it was only because Geng Xiaobo was observant that he noticed.

Back then, everyone was young, but they were all very concerned about saving face.

The other three of them went to great lengths to subtly help.

This time, he thought that Lu Zhaoyang had suddenly returned to his hometown, a small county town, from Nancheng because he was under too much pressure and couldn't make it anymore.

Not only did he think so, but his other two roommates thought so too.

Although Lu Zhaoyang is not a complainer, he has mentioned in the group chat in the past that he is under a lot of work pressure.

While Wang Xiao felt relieved, he was also a little angry.

Pointing his finger at Lu Zhaoyang's nose, he began to berate him:

"It's even more infuriating that you didn't say anything!"

"You, without saying a word, we were all wondering what was going on!"

"Ma Chao, Xiao Bo, and I have been secretly chatting with you several times, worried that you wouldn't be able to make it out there and would come back to your hometown heartbroken. Now it seems we were just worrying for nothing."

Wang Xiao pointed at Lu Zhaoyang's nose, his imposing manner overwhelming.

Lu Zhaoyang didn't rush to explain, and was chased backward.

In fact, it was very heartwarming.

Wang Xiao's eyes lit up and he spotted the silver Tesla parked in the garage.

In the kitchen, if I'm not mistaken, this is a complete Casarte set.

Even a typical middle-class family might not be able to afford this combination.

Goodness, this old classmate is nothing like he imagined; he's clearly living a very comfortable life.

"You know, I was worried about you on my way here, wondering if you were also depressed."

"I drove for over ten hours straight!"

"But it turned out that you weren't depressed at all, and you didn't come back looking dejected. On the contrary, you're living a wonderful life, like you're in heaven."

"Look, there's another little furry one here. It's so shiny and healthy; it looks like it's eating well and sleeping soundly."

"This is simply a life of paradise."

Lu Zhaoyang finally stopped and shrugged, "What's wrong? Brother Xiao, are you disappointed to see I'm not depressed?"

"Oh? No, that's not it! I mean you've been deceiving our feelings."

"Okay, it's my fault, I didn't explain it clearly to you. But this trip won't be in vain, isn't it perfect? ​​Just like you said, Yunzhao has mountains and rivers, you're here, I'll definitely make sure you have a good time and have fun, that's the most important thing."

"Of course, you must take good care of me these next few days and soothe my wounded heart!"

As they approached, Wang Xiao exclaimed in admiration upon seeing the kitchen at the back, "Wow, it's so beautiful!"

Lu Zhaoyang took two steps forward and said, "Brother Xiao, sit down for a while. I'll brew you some tea. It's new tea, and it tastes pretty good."

"Why are you in such a hurry to drink tea? Your house is so beautiful, I need to take a look around first!"

Wang Xiaoxing said excitedly, "Not only will I visit, but I also need to take pictures to show Ma Chao and Xiao Bo, so they can all join in attacking you."

Lu Zhaoyang naturally had no reason to refuse; as long as the person was happy, he was naturally willing.

So he took Wang Xiao on a tour of each room.

In each room, Wang Xiao would take several photos from different angles and randomly send them to the group chat.

Sure enough, in no time, the four people's dormitory group chat became completely lively.

Specifically, the three of them began to unite in a "verbal attack".

This wasn't out of jealousy or unhappiness; it was just their college roommates' way of expressing themselves.

Even when you're happy for someone, you have to express it in this unique way.

Geng Xiaobo and Ma Chao were not surprised at all that Wang Xiao had arrived in Yunzhao.

Lu Zhaoyang then realized that they really had been keeping it from him alone.

A barrage of photos was sent into the group chat, and eventually text and voice chat were no longer enough.

Later, the four of them simply started making video calls in pairs.

Wang Xiao and Lu Zhaoyang each have a mobile phone.

The two sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, brewed some tea, placed their phones on the table, and chatted for a full half hour in this unique way.

In the end, Lu Zhaoyang and Wang Xiao both drank a lot of water and chatted freely and happily.

"Alright, alright, I'm not wasting any more time chatting on my phone with you guys. I'm already full if I keep drinking!"

Wang Xiao had a good night's sleep, and as it approached mealtime, his stomach started growling.

But his words immediately drew great dissatisfaction from the two people on the screen.

"What kind of nonsense is this? What do you mean by saying chatting with us is a waste of time!"

"Exactly! We haven't seen each other in so long, how could Lao Wang say something like that? It's truly disheartening!"

Wang Xiao, holding his teacup, was completely unfazed by the pressure. He snorted and laughed smugly, "What? You don't like hearing this? It may be crude, but it makes sense. Am I wrong? You two are far away, working hard, do you expect us to keep you company? Lao Lu and I are face to face right now. Tell me, isn't video chatting with you guys a waste of time? Instead of wasting time, shouldn't we find a place to have a good drink and have some fun?"

"That's so hurtful! Does that mean all our years of friendship as classmates can't compare to the quick sip of two beers?"

"That's right, that's right. Old Wang, you said such heartless and ungrateful things. I, Ma, am truly disgusted by you. Disgusted!"

In the video, the two were still stubbornly refuting their claims.

"Tch, Lao Lu, tell me, how are you going to entertain me, a guest from afar?"

Wang Xiao didn't argue with the two of them, nor did he hang up the video call.

Instead, they wanted to continue discussing this sensitive topic in front of both of them.

Upon hearing this topic, Lu Zhaoyang couldn't help but feel proud. He puffed out his chest unconsciously and said with a hint of arrogance, "Brother Xiao, to be honest, my cooking skills have improved a lot recently, and I've even learned a really impressive specialty: stewed chicken. How about it? Would you like to try my cooking, or go out and set up a stall?"

Lu Zhaoyang naturally felt that personally hosting his old classmate was the highest form of etiquette.

However, it would be a shame not to take Xiang Ge to experience his barbecue.

So he simply let Wang Xiao choose for himself.

Wang Xiao is chubby, but his neck is actually a bit short.

But now, upon hearing Lu Zhaoyang's words, he actually stretched out his swan-like neck.

She stared at him suspiciously and said, "Old Lu, did I hear that right? Your cooking skills?"

"This is great, this is great! I have to try Yang-ge's cooking!"

"Yes, yes, we're virtually drinking together in the video."

Before Wang Xiao could say anything more, the two people in the video started talking excitedly.

Wang Xiao naturally knew why the two were so excitedly bickering, and grinned, "I remember when we were in college, we secretly made hot pot, and you were so clumsy, you almost burned the pot dry. And you're telling me your specialty is stewed chicken?"

Lu Zhaoyang coughed lightly: "Brother Xiao, that's all ancient history, let's not talk about it. I'm not the same person I was back then."

Wang Xiao said seriously, "What a coincidence, Lao Lu. I'm not the same as before. I value my life more now. I think we should go out to eat. Does Yunzhao have any specialties? You mentioned street stalls, right? Street stalls are good. Let's relive some good memories from college. Today, we have to have a good drink."

The two people in the phone video were hung up on while wailing.

……

Lu Zhaoyang was not disappointed when his specialty was rejected.

Then let's take our old classmates to try Brother Xiang's cooking.

They arrived quite early.

It's hot now, and it's not time to get off work yet.

At this moment, A Xiang Barbecue had just started moving tables out of the outdoor area.

In the small square in front of the store, Lu Zhaoyang and Wang Xiao stood near the road, in a spot where the trees could still provide shade.

"Brother Xiao, are you sure you don't want to go inside? There's air conditioning in the lobby."

The two arrived on an electric scooter.

Wang Xiao is overweight and not heat-resistant at all; he started sweating after only a few steps after stopping the car.

Upon hearing this, he immediately began to struggle. It was true that it was cool in the hall, but barbecue was all about the atmosphere.

When I'm not outside, I immediately feel like I'm missing a lot of things.

Needless to say, today is a reunion of old classmates, and what we're looking forward to is the feeling of having gone through things together.

Seeing Wang Xiao's hesitation, Lu Zhaoyang immediately laughed and said, "Don't worry about it, Brother Xiao, let's sit here. It's a bit hot, but it's alright. Let's sit here. It's a good spot, it's well-ventilated, so it'll be a bit cooler for the evening. I'll have them set up a fan later, and it'll cool down quickly once the sun goes down."

"This is good, this is good." Wang Xiao immediately nodded in agreement.

"Alright, Brother Xiao, you stay here and don't move. I'll go get two stools and be right back."

Wang Xiao nodded, but before he could say anything, Lu Zhaoyang ran off.

"Stay where you are, don't move..."

Wang Xiao is very familiar with this sentence.
