Ye Wan was startled by Jiang Yan's reaction and quickly got up to follow her out of the restaurant. In the public restroom, she found Jiang Yan retching uncontrollably.
Ye Wan went outside to buy her a bottle of water. She unscrewed the cap and handed it to Jiang Yan, who rinsed her mouth. After rinsing, Ye Wan helped Jiang Yan out of the restroom.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly vomiting?" Ye Wan asked with concern, tucking a strand of her messy hair behind her ear.
"I probably haven't been eating regularly lately, and my stomach problems have flared up. I'll go to the hospital for a gastroscopy another day. My wonderful life has just begun, and I don't want to die young." As Jiang Yan spoke, her phone rang. It was Chu Yu calling. Jiang Yan immediately answered, "Hello, senior. My stomach feels uncomfortable. It's probably due to irregular eating. Okay, I understand. See you tonight then."
"Do you want to go to the hospital to get checked now?" Ye Wan asked worriedly.
"No, please ask for leave for me this afternoon. I'll just sleep in the dorm, and I'll be fine. I feel like vomiting if I move at all right now. It's better when I lie down." Jiang Yan wanted to rest for the afternoon so she could go on a date with Senior Chu Yu in the evening.
"If you're not feeling well, don't push yourself. Call me," Ye Wan said as she helped Jiang Yan walk back to the dorm. After settling her in, Ye Wan locked the door and returned to the classroom.
...
Tonight was the lottery draw. Ye Wan had bought two sets of lottery tickets the day before when she returned from the hospital. She bought five tickets for each set, totaling ten tickets.
When the time came, Ye Wan opened her phone to take a casual glance. Except for the first time she bought tickets and won three thousand, she hadn't won anything since... This time, when Ye Wan saw the winning numbers, she blinked hard, then rubbed her eyes vigorously. Finally, after confirming she wasn't seeing things, she excitedly rummaged through the lottery tickets she had bought today!
Second... Second prize!!!
Ye Wan was so excited that she rolled off the bed, landing with a thud that almost made her cry out in pain.
She had indeed won five sets of the second prize. She remembered the prize money for the second prize was 150,000. Five sets would be 750,000!
Combined with the more than 200,000 she had saved, she now had a million yuan, enough to repay the money Fu Huaishen had used for her brother's bone marrow transplant!
Ye Wan suddenly regretted not buying ten sets of these numbers. If she had bought ten sets, her and her brother's difficulties would have been completely resolved. There would be money for her brother's treatment and money to escape this place!
The more Ye Wan thought about it, the more regret she felt, and the sadder she became... No, she couldn't let herself fall into this cycle of regret. She was already incredibly lucky to have won 750,000. She had to look at everything in a positive light.
Headlights illuminated her room. Ye Wan knew Gu Yunting had returned. She immediately got up, holding her lottery tickets, and limped outside. She wanted to share this incredibly good news with someone. Gu Yunting, who had suggested she buy lottery tickets, was undoubtedly the best choice!
As Ye Wan ran towards Gu Yunting, he stood still. He watched as the young girl excitedly held up several pieces of paper, which he estimated to be lottery tickets. She was running towards him with a limp, shouting, "Gu Yunting, I won the lottery! I won the lottery! This time it's the second prize!"
As Ye Wan neared him, her leg suddenly gave out, and she stumbled forward. Ye Wan thought, "It's over. Extreme joy indeed leads to sorrow. Will I knock out two front teeth?"
Just as she closed her eyes, bracing for the pain, Gu Yunting quickly took two steps forward and caught her, preventing her from falling flat on her face. The man raised an eyebrow, "Such an enthusiastic embrace? Are you missing me too much? Hmm?"
