Ye Wan wanted to explain that Sun Ma had misunderstood, that she wasn't buying a gift for Gu Yunting. But she knew she couldn't say that in front of Gu Yunting, so she silently ate her meal. She glanced at the man at the head of the table; even a single tie he wore cost thousands of yuan. How could she afford to buy him a gift?
After dinner, Ye Wan rushed back to her room. After showering and freshening up, she lay on the bed and studied lottery tickets. When Gu Yunting entered, Ye Wan immediately held up the papers in her hand and said, "I wrote so many today, can you help me pick some again?"
Gu Yunting took the papers and sat down to look. It seemed that winning last time had greatly motivated her, leading her to write over forty numbers.
He asked for a pen and finally circled three for her to buy. Ye Wan noted them on her phone. Gu Yunting said, "You can also try combining your birthday, lucky numbers, or the birthdays of people important to you. Lotteries also have an element of luck."
Ye Wan thought that made sense. She took the papers and continued to write two more sets of numbers, then saved them to her phone. Anyway, she had won three thousand yuan, so she didn't mind buying five tickets!
Gu Yunting motioned for her to sit properly, untied the bandages around her leg, re-applied medicine, and re-bandaged it, then held her as they lay down.
...
She didn't win the second time she bought lottery tickets, but Ye Wan wasn't discouraged. She continued to work hard during the day and spent her free time studying lottery tickets at night, always letting Gu Yunting pick for her in the end.
A week later, the wind energy project was essentially completed. Ye Wan received another substantial income and returned to school.
Fu Huaishen called her, saying there was news about the bone marrow matching for her younger brother.
Ye Wan couldn't wait for school to end. She slipped out of the classroom and rushed to the location where Fu Huaishen had asked to meet her.
It was a hotel room. Ye Wan rang the doorbell. Fu Huaishen opened the door from the inside. He was only wrapped in a bath towel, his hair still dripping water, and a faint blush on his handsome face, making him look tempting.
"Come in," Fu Huaishen stepped aside, letting Ye Wan enter.
Ye Wan's mind was only on her brother's situation. Although she felt it wasn't quite right, she walked in first. The door closed behind her. Ye Wan immediately asked, "What did that person say? Has a suitable bone marrow been found?"
"What's the rush? Sit down and let's talk," Fu Huaishen pulled her further inside.
Ye Wan immediately pulled her hand away. "I'll walk myself. Can you please put some clothes on?"
"I'm in my room. Why should I wear clothes? I like it this way," Fu Huaishen sat down.
Ye Wan had no choice but to sit down, her concern for her brother overriding her shame. She stared at his face, trying her best not to look around.
"That fatty called and said they haven't found a suitable match yet, but he said there's hope and they'll continue looking. They'll give a response within half a month."
After Fu Huaishen finished speaking, Ye Wan was truly, deeply disappointed. The light in her eyes extinguished, and she sat there dazed.
"Don't be sad. Didn't he say there's hope? I'll keep looking for you too," Fu Huaishen felt uncomfortable seeing her like this.
"Thank you. I should go now," Ye Wan stood up to leave.
Fu Huaishen hadn't expected her to be so indifferent even after he had gone to such lengths. Had his charm faded?
As Ye Wan stood up, she felt a wave of dizziness. She frowned slightly. Fu Huaishen immediately got up and carried her. "Since you're here today, don't think about leaving so easily! Unless you agree to be my woman."
