Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 693 Xiaoxian's Counterattack

"Hey, this is outrageous!"

Upon seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxian's expression instantly changed. He said aggrievedly, "You guys told me to fight fire with fire, that's why I started performing, and now you're turning around and complaining about me!"

"Teacher Zeng, you are too modest."

Youyou leaned on Guan Gu's shoulder and said weakly, "You're not acting at all, this is clearly your true nature."

Xiao Xian defiantly declared, "Hmph, say whatever you want. Once I win the grand prize, you'll all be green with envy!"

Zhanbo wasn't very interested in this kind of luck game with negative mathematical expectation. He slowly scratched the scratch-off ticket and said to Zeng Xiaoxian without looking up, "Teacher Zeng, the highest prize on this scratch-off ticket is only 500,000. Even if you win the grand prize, it'll probably only be enough for you to buy a toilet."

"that is."

Meijia waved her hand: "Oh dear, with Teacher Zeng's demands, let alone 500,000, even if he won 5 million, it wouldn't be enough."

"I think my wish is more reliable."

As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and prayed fervently: "God bless me, I am willing to exchange Lu Ziqiao's good fortune in love for the rest of his life, so that I may have no worries about food and clothing in this life."

"What?!"

Ziqiao shrieked, "Who gave you permission to trade my future romantic luck for this?!"

"I'll change it, what are you going to do about it?"

Meijia glanced at Ziqiao: "Anyway, I've already made my wish. As long as I win the grand prize on my scratch-off lottery ticket, it means my wish has come true. Then you can just wait to grow old alone!"

"Do you think you're so smart?"

Zi Qiao sneered, "You think you can make wishes? All your wishes will be null and void, and in exchange, you'll never see another handsome man for the rest of your life in exchange for my lifelong wealth and glory. Don't come begging me for money then!"

"I'll spray you to death with a mouthful of salt soda!"

Meijia cursed loudly, "I've accumulated so much cyber merit, why should all my wishes be invalid just because you made them invalid!"

"If I manage to scratch off the grand prize, you bastard, you'll be doomed!"

Ziqiao smiled contemptuously: "Chen Meijia, you idiot, who told you that you can accumulate merit by simply tapping the electronic wooden fish every day?"

"I'm not like you. I've been worshipping Lord Guan for over ten years. Even when I was being chased by my enemies, I never forgot to burn incense and offer fruit to him."

"What do you call this? This is called piety! This is called loyalty!"

He said provocatively, "By the way, Second Master is also the God of Wealth. He will definitely make my wish come true."

"Once I win the grand prize on my scratch-off lottery ticket, you'll never see another handsome guy again!"

Meijia glared at him angrily: "Who's afraid of who? I want to see who wins the jackpot first!"

"We'll see!"

"snort!!!"

Ziqiao and Meijia immediately gritted their teeth and started scratching the lottery tickets, determined to be the first to win the grand prize and completely break down each other's psychological defenses.

"etc."

Yu Mo felt a little dizzy: "Weren't we just talking about Teacher Zeng? Why are they arguing again?"

Nanfeng shrugged: "I don't know."

Seeing Ziqiao and Meijia scraping so hard, everyone else also sped up their own scraping.

As the first scratch card was scratched off row by row, the excited voices grew quieter, and the wishes uttered from their lips became fewer and fewer.

After the first scratch card was completely scratched off, everyone looked at each other, speechless.

3603 was immediately plunged into an awkward silence.

"Very good, the first round was a complete wipeout."

Nanfeng laughed and said, "It seems your luck is just so-so today."

"Tch, this is only the first of ten. Nanfeng, don't get too cocky."

Xiao Hei snorted, "People as smart as me are usually the main characters. If I win the 500,000 yuan prize later, someone will realize that they are just a supporting character used to highlight the main character."

"Can you please stop embarrassing yourself here?"

Sadako smacked Kuro on the head in annoyance, then turned to everyone and laughed, "Kuro has been watching too many hot-blooded, chuunibyou manga lately, so just ignore him."

"fine."

Nanfeng said with a smile, "Even if Xiao Hei doesn't get obsessed with comics, it doesn't change his goofy and immature nature."

Xiao Hei glared at Nan Feng, pouting.

Everyone chuckled and lowered their heads to continue scratching the lottery tickets.

The second round of blizzards resulted in a complete wipeout for everyone.

"Damn, can things really be this bad?"

Zeng Xiaoxian grumbled as he picked up the third scratch-off lottery ticket: "My brother Xian is supposed to be a good man in Love Apartment, don't I deserve a scratch-off lottery ticket that won 500,000?"

Yifei scoffed dismissively, "Since it's all just a dream, how about I let you win five million?"

"Who do you think you are?"

Xiao Xian boasted, "Even if I can't win five million now, tell me, maybe I'll win it someday?"

"You?"

Yifei scoffed, "If you could win five million, I'd believe ghosts really exist!"

Although Xiaoxian lacked confidence, he still couldn't help but timidly challenge Yifei, "Don't just believe in ghosts, tell me what we're betting on?"

"If you win five million, I'll give you anything you want!"

Yifei said aggressively, "If you don't win five million, you'll have to listen to me in everything you do from now on."

"So, do you dare?"

"It's a deal!"

Yifei and Xiaoxian high-fived as a pledge.

"Feifei".

Wanyu nudged Yifei's arm and whispered, "If Teacher Zeng can't win five million in ten years, he can wait twenty years. If he can't win in twenty years, he can wait fifty years. You can't win this bet no matter what."

Upon hearing this, Yifei suddenly realized, "Oh right, why didn't you remind me sooner?"

Wan Yu blinked: "You guys high-fived too fast, I didn't have time to remind you."

"Depend on!"

Yifei muttered a curse under her breath.

Just then, Curry Sauce excitedly grabbed his scratch-off lottery ticket and stood up.

She shouted excitedly, "I won! I won!"

"yeah!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to Curry Sauce, whose face was beaming with joy.

Zhang Wei was the first to ask, "You won? How much money did you win?"

Curry Sauce covered her face with the scratch-off lottery ticket and laughed wildly, then gestured a "two" to the crowd.

Seeing Curry Sauce smiling so happily, Zhang Wei figured she must have won a lot of money, so he tentatively asked, "Two thousand?"

Curry Sauce, whose face was covered, shook its head.

Zhang Wei's voice instantly rose: "Twenty thousand?"

Curry Sauce still shook its head.

This unsettled not only Zhang Wei, but also everyone else in the apartment.

Two thousand isn't it, twenty thousand isn't it either, then could it be...?

Zhang Wei's lips trembled slightly, and his voice became a few decibels sharper: "Two hundred thousand?"

Curry Sauce still shook its head.

Now everyone was completely confused. The biggest prize in this scratch-off lottery is only 500,000. Could Curry have won 2 million?

After laughing, Curry Sauce removed the scratch-off lottery ticket from her face and showed it to everyone with great enthusiasm.

"Look, I won twenty yuan!"

Zhang Wei's expression froze instantly: "Twenty..."

"piece?!!"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

"Yeah, right." Curry Sauce sat down, grinning foolishly. "See? Aren't I amazing?"

Ziqiao curled his lip; he was a typical unemployed bum who couldn't make big money and looked down on small money: "Curry, it's only twenty dollars, do you have to get so worked up?"

"Because I've never won the lottery before."

Curry Sauce blinked and said in a very honest and simple way, "From childhood to adulthood, I've never won anything, not even the 'buy one get one free' offer on drinks."

"Once, I finally managed to open the bottle cap and saw the word 'again,' and I thought it meant 'buy one more bottle,' but it turned out to be 'buy another bottle!'"

"I never expected to win this time, of course I'm happy."

Xiao Xian said, "But what can you do with twenty yuan in Shanghai? Probably just buy a cup of milk tea."

"But when I first started buying scratch cards, all I was hoping to win was enough for a cup of milk tea."

Curry Sauce chuckled and said, "Today must be my lucky day. I can't believe it, I'm going to keep this scratch-off lottery ticket as my personal talisman."

As she spoke, she tried to carefully put the lucky scratch card close to her body, but unfortunately, the scratch card was too big, and the curry sauce was not easy to put in her pocket.

She thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, I'll just use this scratch card to exchange for a cup of milk tea, so that the milk tea and I can become one and stay together forever."

"I think it's good that curry sauce thinks that way, and you guys shouldn't always think that twenty dollars isn't money."

Yu Mo said, "At least Curry Sauce won twenty yuan, while we have zero profit so far."

"No, if Nanfeng hadn't paid for these scratch-off tickets, none of us would have even recouped our costs yet."

Zhanbo nodded and said, "For these ten-yuan scratch-off tickets, the biggest prizes in the prize pool should be five, ten, and twenty yuan. Curry Sauce winning twenty yuan is already pretty good. You guys are all asking for too much."

As soon as Zhanbo finished speaking, Wanyu excitedly raised her scratch-off lottery ticket: "Wow, I won too!"

"Look, five yuan!"

Yifei, who wasn't particularly interested in scratch-off lottery tickets, glanced at her own: "Oh ho, I won ten yuan too, barely enough."

Seeing that the group that had boasted about winning the grand prize had now fallen silent, Nanfeng said with a smile, "It's alright, this is only the third round, let's continue."

In the fourth round, everyone except Guan Gu won twenty yuan.

In the fifth round, Yu Mo and Zhen Zi both won fifty yuan, while Wan Yu had a stroke of luck and won one hundred yuan.

Thus, Wanyu achieved a score of 105 yuan, becoming the first among the fourteen people to receive a positive return.

Ziqiao, Meijia, Youyou, Xiaohei, and Xiaoxian, who considered themselves the chosen ones, had come up empty-handed after five rounds, and they were all dejected.

Perhaps because of the real-life example of Nanfeng, they knew that scratch-off lottery tickets were unreliable and that even if they won, they wouldn't win much money, but they still couldn't help setting their goals higher and higher.

Now that five rounds have passed, the fourteen of them have scratched seventy scratch-off tickets, and together they have only won a little over two hundred yuan.

These "chosen ones" are finally starting to realize that winning the lottery isn't as simple as they thought.

Their requirements aren't high now; they just want to win a few hundred or a thousand yuan so they can show off in front of everyone.

By the sixth round, Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes suddenly lit up as he scratched the lottery ticket.

"Thirteen, thirteen..."

"I won! I won!"

Xiao Xian slammed his scratch-off lottery ticket onto the coffee table with a fierce expression, and shouted triumphantly.

"Five hundred yuan! A full five hundred yuan!"

"So, do you submit or not!"
