Chapter 45
Around ten o'clock, Lin Jiu put his hands in his pockets and skipped downstairs.
As soon as she left the dormitory building, she saw Chen Miao standing by the car. He was simply wearing a gray sweatshirt and casual pants, with a long black down jacket on top.
His tall figure was enough to attract attention wherever he stood, and coupled with his face, it was simply too eye-catching. Basically, nine out of ten girls passing by the dormitory building would glance at him a few times.
As he walked towards Chen Miao, Lin Jiu's thoughts wandered as he began to recall his impression of his attire, which seemed to be all sporty and casual, looking casual and uninhibited.
Not long after she stood in front of him, his arms tightly wrapped around her waist, and a head rubbed against her shoulder. As if bewitched by the faint sweet-scented osmanthus scent on her body, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "What a nice fragrance."
Hearing this, Lin Jiu paused and thought to himself that the perfume he sprayed before going out was very useful and it really created a sense of atmosphere.
Her hands were bound by him, and she couldn't move. She rested her forehead against his shoulder and asked the question she had wanted to ask since she saw him: "Isn't your neck cold?" His down jacket was open, and his sweatshirt was low-necked, and his neckline was beautiful, making him look very sexy. But in this cold weather, she felt that he was very cold.
"It's not cold." Chen Miao raised his head. "The temperature isn't that cold, and I just got off the bus not long ago."
"...There is a kind of cold that makes me feel that you are cold." Lin Jiu tried to break free from his embrace, but in the end it became tighter and tighter. "Let's go to the car. Don't be blown by the cold wind here." Besides, hugging each other in front of the girls' dormitory attracted a lot of attention.
Chen Miao chuckled and let her go.
On the passenger seat, Lin Jiu opened his mobile phone's notepad and wrote down his plans for today.
Eat lunch, play Go, watch TV, eat dinner, and watch fireworks.
Actually, it was she who made the plan.
Chen Miao is so hateful. He acts like a hands-off boss and says that everything will be arranged by her.
Of course, these are just some minor complaints. Most of the previous dates were arranged by Chen Miao, so it was only right that it was her turn this time.
She really couldn't think of anything fun to do on New Year's Eve, so this was all she could think of.
Looking at this tedious and boring plan for today, Lin Jiu lowered her eyes and began to feel a little withdrawn, and began to have great doubts about herself.
She thought that she was really a very boring person.
After half a minute of self-doubt, she turned to look at Chen Miao who was driving and quickly reported her plan. "Isn't it too boring to do just this little thing? It feels like a whole day has been wasted."
Chen Miao looked straight ahead at the road, "As long as we are together, even if we don't go out for a whole day, the time we spend together is valuable."
"Okay." The other party didn't mind, and Lin Jiu didn't dwell on it. "Before going to your house, should we go to the supermarket?"
"There is a large supermarket near the community. We will go there to buy some later," said Chen Miao.
Lin Jiu’s plan for lunch is to eat hot pot.
No cooking skills are required, just buy the hot pot base and ingredients.
After the car stopped, she and Chen Miao spent about twenty minutes walking around the supermarket and bought two large bags of things.
After watching Chen Miao put the things into the trunk, Lin Jiu took a step forward to get in the car. He casually glanced and saw a lottery shop on the street. He suddenly stopped and stared at the red door frame.
She has never been to a lottery shop or bought a lottery ticket.
Occasionally, social media apps would send her posts about winning prizes. Most people loved this kind of unexpected good fortune, and Lin Jiu was no exception. She'd read a lot of posts and envied those who'd won, but she'd never tried it herself.
Chen Miao walked over to her and followed her gaze towards the lottery shop. He understood instantly, a smile flashing in his eyes. He asked, "Want to buy a lottery ticket and try it out?"
"Yeah." Lin Jiu nodded vigorously, looking at Chen Miao with a sparkling gaze, and said, "Today is the 31st, and after today it will be the new year. Maybe I'll be incredibly lucky today and win with just one scratch!"
Chen Miao had no particular interest in the lottery shop, but Lin Jiu was very excited, looking forward to it. In a few seconds, he made a decision and pulled her towards the lottery shop. "You want to scratch, then let's go."
Following Chen Miao's pace, Lin Jiu tilted his head to look at his clothes and asked curiously, "Have you ever scratched a lottery ticket?"
Chen Miao: "...No, I have a lot of money and don't need to scratch lottery tickets." He has never lacked money since he was a child and does not need to obtain money through this method.
"......" Lin Jiu lowered his head and remained silent. He lost any desire to communicate and felt like he was being shown off his wealth.
The lottery shop was very small, with only one middle-aged male owner inside. He was sitting on a stool playing with his mobile phone. He just looked up at them and then looked down at his phone again.
Lin Jiu walked around the front of the stage, looking at the dazzling array of scratch-off tickets, and finally decided to buy the cheapest one.
After spending ten yuan, she clasped her hands together with a sense of ritual, closed her eyes, and silently said to herself: "At least I won one, it doesn't matter how much." Then, she drew a bright red scratch-off lottery ticket based on her feeling.
Staring at the words "Maximum Prize: 300,000 Yuan," her heart pounded. She felt like she was the lucky winner, and she couldn't suppress the smile at all. She narrowed her eyes, looked up at Chen Miao, and asked, "Do you think I will win?"
Chen Miao raised his hand and touched her head, "I definitely will."
Hearing his decisive answer, Lin Jiu was completely stunned. She looked at him blankly, not knowing where he got his confidence from.
He believed so much in her ability that she didn't dare to laugh anymore. She felt an invisible pressure, afraid that she wouldn't win.
She placed the lottery ticket on the table and picked up a small spatula to scrape it carefully, scratching each one with trepidation, afraid to see the result immediately.
In less than a minute, she knew the result.
I didn’t win, and I didn’t even get my money back.
She did not give up and read the rules over and over again, hoping for a miracle.
The shop owner couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up, walked over to her, took one look, and said bluntly, "Beautiful girl, you didn't win! You saw a flower, but that didn't win either."
The moment he knew he had missed the target, Lin Jiu's heart sank. After hearing these words, his heart sank to the bottom of the lake.
Sure enough, she should be down-to-earth and not have unrealistic expectations.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never won the lottery games set up by the teachers.
She has always had bad luck.
Lin Jiu put the lottery ticket down with a sad face, not intending to take it away. Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side, took it and began to look at it.
She looked at Chen Miao who was looking at the lottery ticket and said, "Let's go. Stop looking. I didn't win. My luck is not very good."
Chen Miao said nothing. He calmly took out his phone from his pocket and tapped it a few times with his slender fingers. "You won. You won a special prize."
"Huh?" Chen Miao's tone was so serious that Lin Jiu almost thought she and the owner had missed something. She immediately took the lottery ticket from Chen Miao's phone, but before she could examine it carefully, the owner loudly questioned, "Where did the special prize come from? I've been running a lottery shop for so many years, and I've never heard of a special prize."
Seeing the shop owner's confident tone and considering that Chen Miao had never been to a lottery shop, she chose to believe the boss.
She pursed her lips, looked at Chen Miao seriously and said, "You're mistaken. I really didn't win."
Chen Miao remained calm, his voice unusually calm: "Check your phone."
Confused, Lin Jiu pulled her phone out of her pocket and glanced at it, stunned. She stared at it a few more times in disbelief, trying to make sure she was seeing things.
She received a text message from the bank indicating that 400,000 yuan had just been transferred into her only bank card.
After three seconds of silence, she looked at Chen Miao in shock, "You transferred it to me?!"
Chen Miao nodded and said calmly, "You're almost out of luck, I'll make it up to you."
Lin Jiu: "...but you transferred an extra 100,000."
Chen Miao shrugged, "It's already said it's a special prize, so of course it should be more."
Lin Jiu was really nervous when he received the money: "...Give me your bank card number and I will transfer it back to you."
Chen Miao raised his eyebrows, his expression unchanged, and spoke cruelly and coldly, "Your card must have a limit, so you can't transfer it." After a pause, he added, "It's not a lot of money. Don't think too much about it. Just use it as pocket money."
Lin Jiu: “…”
The word "limit" made her heart jump and she slowly closed her mouth.
In fact, she didn't quite understand the meaning of the word.
Seeing that all the lottery tickets had been scratched and the prizes had been claimed, Chen Miao took Lin Jiu's hand and walked out of the lottery shop.
Looking at the two people's backs, the owner finally understood the situation and cursed in his heart: You have money but still come to buy lottery tickets? You have nothing to do.
He had just finished complaining when Lin Jiu, who had walked to the door, suddenly turned around and looked at the lottery shop.
She didn't have the ability to sense her boss's thoughts, but she just thought that maybe she wouldn't have to come to the lottery shop anymore.
Turning her head, she followed her clenched hands, her gaze moving all the way up, finally stopping at Chen Miao's handsome profile, and suddenly smiled.
Without her realizing it, she had already scratched the exclusive lottery ticket given to her by God.
Chen Miao is her special prize.
Although she didn't know when the special prize would expire, she would cherish the days with him.
Back in the car, Lin Jiu took out his mobile phone and searched for information about bank card limits.
“…” Indeed, there is a high probability that it is limited.
The only bank card she has now is issued by the school.
During the summer vacation, the bank card was sent to her along with her admission letter to pay her tuition. She just went to the bank to activate it and didn't know anything else.
Lin Jiu turned his head to look at Chen Miao, opened his mouth, and finally couldn't help asking, "How did you know my bank card number?"
"When you measured the size last time, you filled out an information form. It's on the form. I remembered it." Chen Miao said.
"?" She couldn't help but frown, then relaxed. The company belonged to him, and she didn't want to worry about information leaks.
She was just thinking about a more serious problem, her body size!
She bit her lower lip imperceptibly, observing his expression without blinking, and asked softly, "...Do you know my bust size too?"
Chen Miao seemed to have remembered something. His face froze, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he coughed uncomfortably and said, "I know."
"......" Lin Jiu felt that she was completely transparent in front of Chen Miao. She turned her head to face the window with an expressionless face and slowly closed her eyes.
She felt a little blocked in her heart, but not completely blocked.
The reason for the blockage was that she knew about this matter without any warning, and she had no independent space to digest it. She would stay with Chen Miao for the whole day.
The reason she wasn't completely blocked was that she was open-minded. She and Chen Miao would have intimate contact sooner or later, and it didn't matter if he knew in advance. In the future, her body would be exposed to him without any cover, and he would not only look at it, but also touch it.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Chen Miao seemed to realize his problem. He glanced at her sideways and said sincerely, "I'm sorry for reading those messages without your permission."
Lin Jiu had already successfully adjusted himself. He glanced at him and forgave him good-temperedly: "It's okay. Remember to tell me next time."
Chen Miao is her boyfriend, and she has a very high tolerance for him. She won't get angry unless there is a major issue of principle.
