Chapter 104 [The Secret of the Stone] (7000 words)
Lu Sisi indeed won the lottery.
When her roommates gathered around, Lu Sisi blushed and looked sowhat stunned.
After repeatedly checking the pattern on the ticket, they confird that the prize was indeed two thousand yuan.
Two thousand yuan, not really a huge prize. This amount might not seem like much to the average person, but for a student, it could really be considered a windfall.
The most important part was this luck! A thirty-yuan investnt turning into two thousand!
Her roommates giggled and helped Lu Sisi find the lottery shop owner to claim the prize. After checking the ticket, the owner warmly gave her the money. Soon, the two thousand yuan was transferred to Lu Sisi’s WeChat account, and the ticket was handed to the owner.
When they left the lottery shop, Lu Sisi was still in a daze, as if in a dream.
Such a thing had never happened to the unlucky eighteen-year-old Lu Sisi before!
Even though late last year, Chen Yan had helped her turn her luck around, dealing with her misfortunes. But her luck had only returned to normal levels: no more bad luck, but not extraordinarily good luck either.
This sudden streak of good fortune had caught Lu Sisi off guard!
Very naturally and subconsciously, Lu Sisi thought back to the oddities she experienced throughout the day from morning till now.
Originally a low-profile person, three boys had approached her today, one after another, to chat and add her on WeChat.
When she went to a popular bubble tea shop, which usually required a long wait, she ran into Xiaozhao. Not only did she skip the line, but the tea was also given to her for free.
Just for fun, she spent thirty yuan on a lottery ticket and won two thousand!
Today’s luck was too good to be true, right?
Although these events weren’t huge.
For an average person, experiencing any one of these events in a day would be rare.
But she experienced all three in just half a day!
Lu Sisi’s mind was a little jumbled. After her roommates had laughed and joked enviously for a while, they started coaxing her to treat them – but it wasn’t for anything expensive, just a small hotpot at a little restaurant outside the school gate in the evening.
Lu Sisi had never been the miserly or stingy type, so she agreed without hesitation.
Dining around University City was generally affordable.
The small hotpot place her roommates ntioned wasn’t expensive: for a dormitory full of girls, a al would typically cost around one to two hundred yuan.
Her roommates seed pretty decent and normal, with no malicious intent to exploit her good fortune.
But Lu Sisi was still sowhat absent-minded on the way.
Back in the dormitory, Lu Sisi sent Chen Yan a WeChat ssage, recounting her experiences of the day.
"...I won two thousand yuan. Is... is my luck okay?"
After sending the long ssage, Lu Sisi waited for a while, but there was no reply from Chen Yan, likely because he hadn’t checked his phone yet.
Before Lu Sisi put down her phone, a ssage popped up on WeChat. Surprisingly, it was from Gu Qingyi.
Gu Qingyi: "Do you have ti?"
Lu Sisi imdiately replied with a smile: "Double queue? Sister Qingyi, wait for to log in!"
Gu Qingyi quickly replied: "Not for gaming, there’s sothing I need to discuss with you."
Lu Sisi was taken aback and sent: "Now? I’m free. What do you want to talk about, Sister Qingyi?"
A few seconds later, Gu Qingyi sent another ssage.
"Do you know the Extre Internet Cafe near University City?"
"Yes."
"Great, I’ll wait for you at the intersection outside the cafe."
Lu Sisi was full of curiosity but, considering the bond they had ford over the Chinese New Year – staying up late and playing gas together – the two girls were quite good friends.
"Sure! I’ll head over now."

Actually, Lu Sisi had classes in the afternoon, but she skipped them without hesitation to et Gu Qingyi.
Worried that Gu Qingyi might wait too long, Lu Sisi half walked and half ran out of the school through the side gate, took a short street, rounded a corner, and quickly saw Gu Qingyi standing at the intersection.
Gu Qingyi was leaning against a streetlight, biting into an ice cream with her right hand, while holding another one, still wrapped, in her left hand.
Seeing Lu Sisi approaching, Gu Qingyi imdiately ca up with a smile and handed the ice cream in her left hand.
"Want so?"
"Uh, sure."
Lu Sisi didn’t really like cold foods, but she was too polite to refuse. Given that Sister Qingyi was her friend and also a family elder of Chen Yan, Lu Sisi didn’t want to turn down her kind gesture and took it without hesitation, unwrapping it.
"Sister Qingyi, what do you need from ?" Lu Sisi took a bite of the ice cream and looked at Gu Qingyi curiously.
"Let’s find a place with fewer people to talk," Gu Qingyi thought for a mont and said. "How about your school? I haven’t been there yet."
"Huh?"
Gu Qingyi’s words puzzled Lu Sisi, hadn’t been to school?
In this day and age, is there anyone who hasn’t been to school?
Perhaps... Sister Qingyi didn’t attend university, so she ans she hasn’t been to a university campus?
The girl wasn’t the type to question too much, so she simply nodded and led Gu Qingyi into her school.
There were quite a few people on campus in the afternoon. The two of them walked aimlessly along the campus paths. Thinking for a bit, Lu Sisi decided to lead Gu Qingyi towards the sports field, where there would be fewer people around this ti, and eventually they reached the stands under the stadium.
