103: Chapter 103 One Million!!!

"Wait! That's units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands... one million?"

Before Chen Yu had even finished scratching, before the words were even fully revealed, Shen Yanzhou shouted in astonishment.

"What?!"

The others in The Cottage also ran over excitedly.

Chen Yu waved his hand. "Calm down. It won't be too late to be surprised after I finish scratching."

"What? I thought you'd already won."

Shen Yanzhou gave an embarrassed laugh. "Isn't it already halfway done?"

At this point, Chi Zhao was practically drawing circles in the corner.

Please don't let it win!

Otherwise, I, Chi Zhao, will look like a total clown!

How will I ever sleep peacefully for the rest of my life!

[Haha, are Chi Zhao and Chen Yu really that close? He's standing there with his eyes closed praying for Chen Yu to win the jackpot.]

[This is just human nature. If someone around me won the lottery, I'd be jealous too. Why wasn't it me!]

[One million, Chen Yu already has half of it.]

[My plan was to earn a million by the time I'm thirty. I'm also halfway there—I'm thirty.]

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Yu's hand was steady as he scratched away the layer blocking the path to one million!

Joy!!!

"I won!" Chen Yu muttered to himself.

"Holy crap!!! You won! Chen Yu, you won!!!"

Chen Yu felt a bit dazed at this moment, as if it wasn't quite real.

I'm not dreaming, am I?

"Ah!!" a miserable scream rang out.

"What are you pinching me for?" Shen Yanzhou clutched his arm.

"I wanted to see if I was dreaming."

"Congratulations, Chen Yu!" Su Lingyin showed a smile, feeling happy for him.

This way, he wouldn't have to live in a basement anymore.

While some were happy, some were... breaking down!

He Yunshen's jealousy was beyond measure.

Lin Xi was envious, even developing the thought of wanting to get married.

If only this million were mine, I'd never need a man again!

Chi Zhao bit his lip hard, trying to keep the tears from flowing!

He would rather it be a dream, to wake up and find that Chen Yu hadn't won.

He regretted it so much!

His guts were practically rotting from regret!

The bullet screen went even crazier:

[I don't believe it, I don't believe it!! How is this possible. Is this a script!]

[For real? He just won a million like that?]

[How much luck did Chen Yu have to overdraw to win this prize.]

[He probably overdrew Chi Zhao's luck; he picked it out personally.]

[If I were Chi Zhao, I'd want to die.]

[#%@×#×...]

One viewer was so jealous their language had become garbled.

"Um, Chen Yu, I'll take this lottery ticket back. I'll refund your twenty yuan, actually, I'll give you a hundred!" Chi Zhao said with a sycophantic smile.

Before Chen Yu could speak, Shen Yanzhou was the first to get annoyed.

"Have some shame, will you? Are you trying to rob him? Or are you joking?"

"I, I... what does it have to do with you? This is between me and Chen Yu!"

Right! As long as he got the ticket back!

He would be a millionaire!

Not only could he pay off his debts, but he'd also have money to buy a house!

One million!

How many years would he have to be a rapper to earn that much!

What was 'shame'?

Could you eat it?

Could you spend it?

"Old Shen, don't be angry, it's not worth it. It's only a million. If he wants it that badly, I..."

Chen Yu had a nonchalant look on his face, making Shen Yanzhou think he was about to show some grand mercy.

But as it turned out...

"...won't give it to him!"

He really was the same old Chen Yu!

Not a single bit of change!

Chi Zhao had already reached out his hand, only to be played by Chen Yu.

"Old Chen, I'm thinking maybe I should call my company's security tonight. I'm afraid we might have a thief in The Cottage."

Chi Zhao: Why don't you just call out my ID number while you're at it!

"Then you can at least give me a cut, right? I'm basically a shareholder. You wouldn't have won without me."

"What you're saying makes sense. Without you, I wouldn't have thought about scratching lottery tickets today."

"But then again, without me, you wouldn't have seen what a million looks like in your entire life. Consider this me being a good person and letting you broaden your horizons for once. I won't even charge you for the experience."

Chi Zhao: "?"

Is this right?

So I don't get any money and I'm supposed to thank you?!

Shen Yanzhou laughed so hard he slapped Chen Yu's arm. "It has to be you!"

Chen Yu coughed lightly. "Pat me gently. I'm a millionaire now!"

Chen Yu tilted his head back.

"I'll pat you if I want to!"

Shen Yanzhou wasn't going to indulge Chen Yu.

Chen Yu rubbed his neck. "Acting cool like this is actually quite tiring. Sometimes I really admire those people who look down their noses at others all the time."

"Just say it, can you give me a cut or not!"

"No."

"Fine! You just wait!"

"Wait for what? For you to die before me?" Chen Yu wasn't going to indulge Chi Zhao either.

Chi Zhao's eyes were burning with fire as he stared at that lottery ticket.

Su Lingyin's cool voice rang out: "Damaging or stealing someone else's property is a crime. If it's a million, the rest of your life..."

Chi Zhao understood.

It wasn't like rappers didn't understand the law.

"Can't I even just take a look?"

Chen Yu displayed it. "Look all you want. I'm not a stingy person. Tomorrow I'll treat everyone to a feast! What do you all want to eat?"

Chi Zhao: Being generous with my money!

Pah!

How can I get this million back into my hands.

If I could steal it...

But The Cottage had cameras everywhere except for the bedrooms. If he was caught, wouldn't he end up in the station?

Greed, jealousy, and cowardice were intertwined in his heart.

[I'm not sleeping tonight. I'm going to keep a close eye on Chi Zhao and try to get him sent in.]

[No-prize guessing: will Chi Zhao take back the million?]

[Take back what? Chen Yu bought this ticket himself.]

[Chen Yu can just lie flat now. Why rent a basement? Just buy a villa!]

[Sorry, in Shanghai, a million is barely enough to buy a single room in a villa.]

Chen Yu's fans were happy for him, hoping he wouldn't have to participate in variety shows for money anymore and could focus on making songs for them to hear.

Chen Yu had never fought such a well-funded battle before; his back straightened right up.

"Su Su, accompany me to look at houses tomorrow!"

Su Lingyin broke into a smile. "Okay."

Chen Yu's exaggerated manner was clearly like a... nouveau riche. It was quite funny.

Tomorrow's plans were disrupted. They were supposed to start live-streaming from the morning, but now they had to go redeem the prize.

Fortunately, tomorrow was a workday.

One can only feel at ease once the money is in hand.

Chen Yu's fans commented: [Great, no live-stream again. This is how it goes every day!]

The Production Team director hadn't expected such an explosive topic to appear!

He already had the trending topics thought out!

#Dating Show Guest Scratches One Million!#

#Becoming a Millionaire Just by Joining a Dating Show#

...

Night.

Chi Zhao tossed and turned, unable to sleep, rolling around like a maggot.

He Yunshen was annoyed by the noise.

"What are you doing?"

"I can't sleep."

"Then don't disturb me."

"How am I disturbing you by being in my own bed?"

"You're too noisy!"

"If you think I'm noisy, then go sleep outside!" Chi Zhao snorted coldly.

His mind was full of that one million!

Even after tax, it would still be eight hundred thousand!

He had even looked up the prize redemption process; all that was missing was that lottery ticket.

He Yunshen helplessly blocked his ears with the blanket.

This Chi Zhao, he deserves to not have a million!

He's really not freaking worthy!
