Chapter 16 - : The side effect of the ring (1/2)

”Brother Little 5!” Didi's voice is trembling, and she calls me in a low voice.

She seems to groan, her body is soft, and her hands look like to be unable to hold these lottery tickets.

This scene is really scary.

Winning the lottery is a joyous thing, but such things are overdone.

There is a bright light across in my heart suddenly.

The ring!

I try my best to suppress the excitement, forcibly suppressing all kinds of frightening thoughts that come out of my mind, swallowing and spitting hard, and holding out my hands to Didi, who is already weak in her legs: ”Okay, don't say anything, let's go and cash in the prize first.”

God knows that my heart is beating like a drum.

Didi looks at me and says powerless, ”OK!”

All two of our faces are red with excitement.

When we reach the prize office and hand the tickets, a fat middle-aged woman is sitting in front of us, smiling professionally. For the first second, she is trying to say ”congratulations on winning the lottery,” but the next second, she sees a stack of lottery tickets I have handed over, the expression on her face changes from curiosity to shock. … Then it was completely rigid.

Her mouth is also set to a standard ”O” shape. Fortunately, I put my hand on her shoulder to stop the woman from jumping up in excitement.

But the expression on her face is wonderful. I have never seen a person's expression make such a variety of changes in a flash. From smiling at first, then shocked, finally, it was completely ”shut down”.

There are other staff members wondering about it. When they come and see, they are immediately exclaimed either.

I know it could not be concealed. What I can do is stand quietly in front of them and listen to these men and women screaming for five minutes. When I see that the storm was getting bigger and bigger, I take a deep breath and shout, ”Can I exchange the prizes?!”

My voice called many people back at once. The first thing I heard is from a slightly older man. He takes a pair of glasses and pulls away the fat woman in front of me who is responsible for the award. Then he looks at me and squeezes out a smile. ”Can you wait a minute, we have to go through the formalities and take out your government ID to register, please?”

HMM, go through the formalities? I think it is to verify the authenticity of the lottery.

But it is no wonder that whoever meets this kind of thing, the first reaction must be: holly shit, is that true?

I keep quiet and I take out my ID to him.

I have read some novels that the protagonists can hide their identity when they get rich by lottery. In fact, this is impossible!

Any kind of lawful and rich income must be paid taxes. To pay taxes, it is necessary to pass the relevant procedures of the tax department. Once your ID is pulled out, all you personal information will be immediately available.

I fill in two forms and signed a few names. After half an hour, the old man, who seems to be in charge, comes back. The temperature was not too high in the afternoon, but he wipes his forehead with a cold sweat, and don't his face is showing crying or smiling. He looks at me, as if watching a ghost. ”Mr. Chen Yang, right? We have checked your lottery tickets. There is no problem at all.”

I sigh: ”Can I cash the prize then?”

”Yes! Yes! Of course.” The person wipes the sweat and says with a forced smile, ”But can you cooperate with our publicity? You see, we've never met such a winner like you. There are reporters here. And can you come on stage and have some words with the lottery people who are buying lottery tickets?

”No need.” I refuse it at once.

Kidding me? Media interviews? Speaking?

All will bring troubles.

He seems want to say something more, and I immediately refuse, ”Sorry, I'm not obligated to be interviewed by the media, am I? And you have no right to force me to do it.”

”Understand, understand!” The old man sweats hard and reluctantly says, ”Many winners have your mentality. But… ”

He says a lot of words to try to persuade me, but I refuse one by one, next to us, there are some media have been informed that there is a super lucky man, a person won 30 lottery tickets alone!

This is definitely a big wonder. Many journalists have been pouring in here.

I have some impatience on my face: ”Well, you needn't say more. Please give me the prizes.”

”OK! Do you want to take the prize directly? Or? ”

”Cash, please!” I answer him quickly.

Take the prizes?

Please! Two cars, four air-conditioners, six TV, eight microwaves, ten kitchenware… How can I delivery them back? Even I can, there's no place to store them.

The man in charge seems also smartly ready for such an arrangement. He turns back to the prize office, then takes a check and some files out, and my ID as well.

”Do you really not think about to take the interview?”

I take everything from his hands and shake my head: ”No need!”

I grab Didi, who is standing there still, and walk to the door of the prize office. But when we go out and find there are lots of reporters there. They have totally engaged the road already.

The prize office is a temperately build up wooden stage Around 2 meters high. I look around and grab Didi to another side of the stage. Withing the screaming from the people there, I hold Didi and jump down to the ground.

When we land to the ground, I release the mind losing girl, ignore everything, just run away.

We have run across at least two blocks. Didi is short of breath. Without my grab, she might be lying down already.

”Brother Little 5… I can't run any more… Really! I… can't….” She keep quick panting, and her hair is untidy. I am beginning to laugh, take her to have a rest by the road. We all see the flusters from each other. Suddenly, both of us are laughing together.

Didi has been woken from the shocks. She uses her girl voice screaming:” Brother 5, you are so amazing!”

I grab her hand tight and laugh. ”Not I am amazing, you took these lottery tickets and you opened them! The real amazing thing is your hand!”

Didi's face is red and shows a shy from her eyes. She seems want to struggle to free but still dare not to. So just let me.

”OK!” I shake another hand and say, ”Let's see our prizes!”

It seems that there are so many prizes, but the actual number is not so big.

Two Skoda, the amount will be over 200,000, all the others are around fifty to sixty thousands.

After paid the taxes, the number on the check is two hundred thousand.

I take the check out and send it into Didi's hand. ”OK, this money is yours now.”
