Five lottery tickets were scratched off by Zhang Yanqi, Wang Chenyi, Wang Mian, Lu Han, and the unlucky Xia Nian.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The sound of coins scratching against lottery tickets echoed in the hall. Everyone's expressions were solemn yet tinged with anticipation; this was five hundred yuan!

"Good heavens, there isn't one!"

However, with Zhang Yanqi's sigh, Wang Chenyi behind him also smiled bitterly, followed by Wang Mian shaking his head.

Seeing that all three of them had failed, Lu Han swallowed hard, looked at the last line of the lottery ticket, and smacked the coin against it.

The result... I didn't win!

Lu Han tossed the coin onto the table speechlessly, shaking his head and saying, "It's impossible to win, there's no way to win."

Chen He shifted the blame to the production team: "I think we were pretty lucky; the main problem was that the production team picked a bad lottery ticket!"

Tian Yu also asked, "Old Wang, surely none of the lottery tickets you bought have won?"

Old Wang waved his hands repeatedly: "Impossible! The boss said that at least one of these prizes is guaranteed to win!"

Facing the skeptical looks from the crowd, Old Wang assured them, "If none of the tickets inside are winning, you'll get your money back in full, and we'll head straight to the next stop!"

"Come on, come on, come on~~~" Xia Nian muttered to herself, her eyes fixed on the lottery ticket she had scratched open. Liu Yifei next to her was also full of anticipation. She really didn't want to go back again.

Especially since her husband isn't here yet.

What? You're saying Xia Nian, your own daughter, is here?

Liu Yifei: Niannian was just an accident, my husband is my true love!

Xia Chuan: That's right! My wife and I are true love!

Xia Nian: Two old men!

The others also held their breath and stared intently at Xia Nian's movements.

As Xia Nian slowly scraped away the last line, everyone's anxiety finally subsided.

"Sure enough, without a minimum of one hundred, there's absolutely no chance of winning!" Xia Nian put down the coins in her hand, shook her head with an air of maturity, as if she had experienced this kind of thing countless times before.

This scene immediately made Liu Yifei roll her eyes at her little devil who liked to act like an adult, and said, "Looking at you, I'd think you were a gambler born from the womb!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Nian glanced at her, then, feigning seriousness, stroked her chin with her right hand while crossing her chest with her left, and shook her head with a sigh, saying, "Woman, you don't understand. I don't blame you. These kinds of things that require thinking... um."

Her words trailed off, an awkward smile appearing on her face. She immediately covered her bottom with her hands and said ingratiatingly to the expressionless Liu Yifei, "Pretty...big sister, I was just joking. I'm just a clueless little kid, you can't take it personally."

The others shook their heads and chuckled at the sight, instantly lightening the atmosphere of defeat.

Genius He's eyes were full of inquiry, and he became even more suspicious of the relationship between Liu Yifei and Xia Nian.

Liu Yifei wasn't truly angry; she just hadn't expected her little devil to dare tease her like this. Had her "Buddha's Palm" stopped working?

Or are you, Xia Nian, really so stubborn that you don't recognize this queen?

If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles again?

However, Liu Yifei didn't say much. Instead, he looked at the others, spread his hands, and said, "Now we face two situations: either spend money to scratch until we win, or take the bus back to continue eating, and then come back to scratch."

Upon hearing this, everyone began to ponder.

But then, Old Wang grinned mischievously and said, "There's no time to think. If you don't buy in ten seconds, we're leaving."

Money, money, money, it's all money, money, money!

Seeing Old Wang's greedy look, Chen He's eyes darted around, and he stood up and said with a smile, "How about this, Old Wang, let's not keep talking about money. It's too hurtful to talk about money."

Old Wang scoffed, "Not mention money? What are we going to talk about?"

Chen He coaxed, "How about this, let's pretend we didn't know each other before, and now let's get to know each other again. You give me ten tickets for free, consider it making us friends, okay?"

Old Wang: "Let's go! Back to Jinhua!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh; only Chen He could bring up something like this.

Chen He quickly shouted, "No! Five! Just five for free! Three will do! Even one will do!"

However, Lao Wang didn't turn around and planned to take everyone back to the bus.

"Wait! We'll pay for it!"

Liu Yifei suddenly stood up and shouted, "Let's buy five more tickets!"

Upon hearing this, Old Wang immediately turned around and looked at Liu Yifei with a smile.

Lu Han hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Yifei, buying five more tickets would cost another five hundred yuan. What if Brother Chao and Chuanzi come back and find that all the money is gone?"

Wang Mian and the other two nodded in agreement, but did not speak.

Liu Yifei looked at Tian Yu and Chen He and said, "Brother Yu, Chen He, what do you guys think? I feel like our luck is a bit bad right now, so why don't we just try to win by sheer volume!"

"Money can be earned back, but... I really can't eat a whole table of food like this again."

Looking at Liu Yifei's wry smile, Chen He and Tian Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing a certain determination in each other's eyes.

Chen He nodded: "I think Yi Fei is right. Staying here isn't a solution. Even if we go back for a meal and then come back here, it's not like we've just gotten a free lottery ticket; it's just a gamble. We might as well save our stomachs some trouble!"

Yin Yitianyu: "That's right. I believe that if Chao'er and Chuanzi were here, they would agree with our approach!"

Xia Nian's eyes lit up: "I agree! Dad certainly wouldn't bear to see our butts being bounced around like crazy!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lu Han naturally didn't object: "Alright, the minority submits to the majority, hehe!"

Wang Mian and the other two had no objections, since they didn't want to travel back and forth either.

Old Wang laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I like your generous attitude. Here's five coins!"

The group then bought five more lottery tickets, leaving them with 1,135 yuan. The hall quickly filled with the sound of scratching tickets.

"I don't have any, but you do?" Lu Han said dejectedly.

Tian Yu shook his head: "Didn't get it."

Liu Yifei said speechlessly, "I didn't win either!"

Chen He looked at the lottery ticket in his hand, grinning, and said, "Damn it, I didn't win this one either!"

Finally, there's Xia Nian. Xia Nian has a good attitude. After all, she and Xia Chuan had scratched hundreds of lottery tickets at the lottery station without winning anything, so this is nothing to her.

"Oh, mine didn't work either."

Upon hearing Xia Nian's words, everyone's hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, died once again.

Lu Han's eyes were slightly red, clearly from the shock, and he slammed his hand on the table, shouting, "Old Wang! Give me five more!"

Old Wang smiled and said, "Alright, five pieces!"

This time, Liu Yifei, Chen He, Wang Mian, Zhang Yanqi, and Xia Nian continued the scrambling.

"Damn it! I didn't win again!" Liu Yifei closed his eyes.

"Win! Win! Win for me! Damn it! I didn't win!" Chen He threw the coin on the table, looking utterly dejected.

"Well, I didn't win either," Wang Mian said with a wry smile.

Zhang Yanqi had almost torn the lottery ticket to shreds, compared the numbers for a long time, and finally said dejectedly, "Okay, I told you my luck is just terrible!"

Wang Chenyi added insult to injury: "You spendthrift!"

In the end, only Xia Nian remained, and she was everyone's last hope.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~"

"Oops, I didn't get it."
