Chapter 29

Though there were many places to drink, after leaving Dong's Private Kitchen, neither of them mentioned it. They walked toward the school, enjoying the evening breeze, and both became much more sober.

Wang Bo said, "I'm not afraid of her; it's just that she has helped me, so I let her have her way."

"You don't need to explain to me," Lu Lu seemed to have returned to her usual coldness.

Wang Bo clicked his tongue and then said, "Thank you for helping me out today."

"You're welcome," she replied formally.

"However, what you said will put us both in a difficult position," Wang Bo said, "What if the rumors start spreading again? What will we do then?"

"Since I said it, I'll take the responsibility," Lu Lu's tone was very calm. She then stopped and asked, "Wang Bo, do you want the rumors to become reality?"

"What... what are you saying?" He turned to look at her and suddenly realized they were standing in front of a chain hotel. His heart tightened, and he said, "Are you drunk? Don't joke like that!"

Lu Lu rarely smiled, but now her cold face showed a charming smile, her teeth slightly showing, her eyes curved, making her heart-stirringly beautiful.

She extended her hand and said, "You wanted to get me drunk, right? No need to go through all that trouble, I'll go with you."

Wang Bo's heart raced wildly. His gaze flicked between the hotel entrance and her hand several times. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and said, "What are you doing? Let's go, if we stay here and get caught by a teacher, what will we do?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Lu's eyes, followed by a smile. She tightened her grip on his hand and thought to herself: The rumors must be false; he's not that kind of person.

Wang Bo felt her cold hand tighten around his, as if she was entrusting herself to him. He had a strong urge to stop and turn into the hotel. But since Lu Lu had been drinking, she might not be fully aware. How could he take advantage of her?

But when she smiled, she was truly beautiful, almost like a different person. When she didn't smile, she was at most an 80, but when she smiled, she was a 95, even her eyes became more beautiful. He really couldn't understand why she didn't smile more often.

Under the moonlight, they walked hand in hand for 20 minutes until they reached the school gate.

"We're here," Wang Bo let go of her hand, "You go in."

"Okay," Lu Lu lowered her head and replied, "Thank you for bringing me back. Be careful on your way home."

"Got it, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." After saying goodbye, Lu Lu walked into the school. Suddenly, Wang Bo called out from behind her, "Hey, to be honest, you look really beautiful when you smile. In the future, smile more often!"

Lu Lu paused for a moment, then nodded slightly, not caring if Wang Bo noticed her response. She walked into the school with a light step.

Wang Bo watched her graceful silhouette and thought to himself: She must be smiling now, she definitely is. The image of her smiling face flashed in his mind, and he shook his head in admiration, "A king would light beacons to amuse his concubine; sometimes, it's not hard to understand."

Returning home with the smell of alcohol, he inevitably got scolded by his parents. After taking a shower and returning to his room, despite being very tired, he didn't want to sleep. He stayed in front of the TV, waiting for the lottery draw. Finally, the draw time arrived, and as the numbers on his lottery ticket gradually appeared on the TV screen, his heart raced.

The final numbers were indeed Red 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, and Blue 14! Exactly the same as the ticket he bought today! Wang Bo stood up with a whoosh, excitedly waving his fists in the air. He won! He really won! It was true! Although the prize amount wasn't confirmed yet, it was at least 5 million!

At that moment, the owner of the lottery shop, who was watching the draw on TV, was stunned. The numbers were so unusual that she still remembered the seemingly first-time visitor, a strange boy.

She rubbed her eyes to confirm and muttered, "Husband, it looks like we have a big winner. This issue's grand prize, first prize!"

"Don't be ridiculous," her husband was already lying in bed, feeling drowsy, "We've been running the shop for five years, and we've never had a big winner. People say our feng shui is bad, and business is getting worse. I might as well change careers soon. Go to sleep, we have to take the kids to school early tomorrow."

The owner wanted to argue but decided against it. If there really was a big winner, the lottery center would notify them, and her husband would know she wasn't lying.

The next morning, while Wang Bo was in class, a system notification suddenly appeared in his mind: "Task 1 additional condition successfully confirmed, rewarded with 50 points, Task 2 and Task 3 unlocked."

This was truly a double joy. With these points, he now had 160 points, which he could use to exchange for more and better things. Moreover, the volunteer service team was already making progress, and he would soon earn more points.

Another piece of good news was that he had already confirmed the lottery prize on his phone during the break. This issue's double-color ball had only one grand prize winner nationwide, and it was in Hai Dong City, which meant the ticket in his hand. The final prize was a full 10 million, and even after deducting the high income tax, he would still get 8 million, twice what he had initially expected!

Thinking about becoming a millionaire, he couldn't help but smile. He could immediately help his family buy a house and a car, freeing his parents from their hard work. This was the greatest joy the exchange system had brought him so far. His father was on a business trip, so he decided to claim the prize quietly and surprise his parents when his father returned.

In the next class, which was a Chinese lesson taught by the homeroom teacher, she didn't rush to start the lesson but announced some good news: "I just received a notification that our class's performance, 'Ambush on All Sides,' has passed the preliminary selection for the cultural festival and will be performed at the cultural festival gala on Friday. Everyone, give a round of applause!"

The classroom erupted in enthusiastic applause. The students who had seen the performance the day before were all impressed by the three performers. In their minds, this performance was the best of all the performances that day, and it was only right that it was selected for the gala.

"Alright, let's start the lesson," the homeroom teacher said firmly, "Qian Ning, put the microphone away, or you'll have to stand outside. Everyone, turn to page 72 in your textbooks..."

After class, Wang Bo and his two friends were surrounded by their classmates. Everyone was talking excitedly, all expressing their admiration for their performance. One girl said, "Wang Dali, you're already a celebrity. Yesterday, a junior girl from the first year asked me about you, asking for your contact information. You're going to have good luck with the opposite sex!"

Someone nearby laughed, "What junior girl? She's probably a dinosaur."

"Qijueying from Class 1-3, the first-year beauty," the girl said indignantly, "Have you ever seen such a beautiful dinosaur?"

"Qijueying?!" The surrounding classmates exclaimed in unison, and the boys looked at Wang Bo enviously.

It was no wonder they were so envious. Qijueying was the beauty representative of the first year, receiving a lot of attention from the moment she entered school. She was known as the first-year beauty, the lead dancer of the school dance club, with excellent figure and appearance. If it weren't for an even more outstanding beauty in the third year, she would have been the undisputed school beauty.

For such a near-school-beauty level beauty to inquire about Wang Bo's contact information, it was enough to make people speculate and envy.

Jin Xiaoli poured cold water on the situation, "What's the big deal? Maybe she saw Wang Bo's dance potential and wants to recruit him for the dance club?"

This made everyone realize that this was a more plausible explanation.

"Dance club?" Wang Bo sneered, "Why would I go to a place like that?"

"Right," someone chimed in, "Wang Bo is already a formal member of the track and field team. How could he have time to practice dancing?"

"Not just that," someone else chimed in, "Wang Bo is about to join the school football team."

This caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding students. It was clear that they were just watching the show. Even if Wang Bo's performance at the cultural festival was impressive, martial arts and football were two different things, and this didn't change their perception of his skills on the field.

"Hehehe," Wang Bo laughed along with them, "Is it that funny? Let me tell you, I will definitely join the school team, and not only that, I will represent the school team in the match this Saturday. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. Whoever loses owes the other a favor. Who wants to bet?"

Many people eagerly wanted to bet with him. Seeing the lively scene, Wang Bo was delighted: They were all potential targets for future tasks. He would make the investment now.
