But Young Master He did not bring that up even until lunch was over. All he did was try to get fresh with her, and with her trying to keep herself afloat, she soon tossed that behind her.
Su Zhixi felt like her heart was going to burst out of her chest while eating.
“That, Young Master He…” Su Zhixi looked at her watch. “I still have classes in the afternoon, so I’ve got to make a move first. Thank you for lunch,” she said solemnly.
“So rushed?” He Jingyao frowned.
“Yup, it’s that rushed,” she said sincerely.
“Okay, then.” The man smiled. “Since I bought you lunch, can you buy me a drink?”
Su Zhixi nodded when she heard that. “Of course! What would you like?”
Su Zhixi jumped at the chance to repay the favor.
“Mineral water’s fine.” He Jingyao smiled.
“Okay, there’s a convenience store right next door. I’ll be right back.” Su Zhixi grabbed her wallet, headed to the convenience store, and bought two bottles of mineral water.
Since it was for Young Master He, Su Zhixi bought the most expensive bottled water there was, at almost three yuan a bottle. She then ran back and handed a bottle to him.
He Jingyao took it, opened the bottle, and eyed the cap nonchalantly. “Su Zhixi, you’ve won a prize.” He smiled.
“Huh? You’ve won another bottle?” Su Zhixi glanced at the bottle cap and was stunned when it read “first prize.”
“It’s the first prize.” He Jingyao laughed and tossed the cap to Uncle Li. “Go collect the prize.”
“Yes.” Uncle Li took the cap with a smile.
Su Zhixi was confused. She had never heard of a bottled water having a first prize.
After a while, Uncle Li returned with a smile. “Young Master, the first prize is ten thousand yuan in cash. I’ve given them the account number, and they said they’ll transfer the money immediately.”
Before Uncle Li could finish, Su Zhixi heard her phone ping and her eyes widened when she took it out.
It was a message from the bank telling her that she’d just received ten thousand yuan…
Su Zhixi raised her head and stared blankly at He Jingyao. The man patted her head. “Seems like you’re pretty lucky.”
Su Zhixi came to her senses then. “No! That bottle of water was my treat to you. Even if we won, the prize should be yours. How can I have it?”
He Jingyao raised his brows and took the fresh bottle of water in his hand. “This one’s a winner too. I’ll take this cut, then.”
He then tossed the cap to Uncle Li and smiled at the girl. “You’re so lucky today.” He smiled innocently at her.
Su Zhixi was stunned.
It was pretty clear at this point that Young Master He was the one behind it.
No wonder he wanted her to buy him a drink.
He Jingyao probably knew that she would reject it if he offered to give her money. He came up with this so that she could not turn him down.
She gripped her phone, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She would be letting the man down if she rejected him… Besides, ten thousand yuan was a small enough sum for her, and that was probably something he’d taken into consideration too.
At this thought, Su Zhixi smiled with red eyes. “Yup, I’m so lucky.”
