Chapter 20 Chapter 20 I, The Millionaire (Part 2)

During the live broadcast, Zeng Xiaoxian had already won a bonus of 100,000 yuan, and had used up a chance for the audience to vote.The prize for the next question is as high as 500,000 yuan. The title is: How many eyelashes does a normal adult man have in each eye?Option A 75——150 B 150——225C 225——300 D300——375. Zeng Xiaoxian was expressionless, and the host teased him, "I guess, do you really want a mirror now? This way you can count, but you only have 30 seconds." The second hand rang, and Xiaoxian fell into the mirror again. Memories, but this time the protagonist of the tragedy is Zhang Wei.

One night, he picked up a Dupunt lighter in a bar. After the popularization of knowledge by Xiaoxian and Yifei, he realized that this brand is very expensive, equivalent to a fighter jet in a tractor.He fiddled with the lighter back and forth, and sat on the sofa waiting for the owner to claim it. In just two hours, eight people came to ask him to borrow the lighter, and many of them were beauties with warm and friendly attitudes. Through this, he spent the most difficult time in his life. A meaningful night.In order to be more realistic, although he doesn't smoke, he still finds cigarettes as props, holds a cigarette in his mouth, holds a lighter, and when he sees someone coming, he pretends to order something, and when the person leaves, he puts it down again.A man stood behind him, watched for a long time, and finally couldn't help but came up and asked him if he had ordered, and if he could borrow it.

Zhang Wei handed him the lighter and said cheaply: "I actually rarely smoke. My personal doctor told me that my lungs are not very good and I should breathe more fresh air. I bought a house, but sometimes when I get addicted, I will occasionally buy one." "Your lighter...it seems to be the one I lost. I can't find it since I came here last time. Is there a letter engraved on the bottom of this lighter? SB? Shao Bo, this is my name, my wife's wedding anniversary gift to me." "Is...really?" Zhang Wei barely maintained his composure, "You are the owner, I...I have been waiting for you, return the property to the original owner."

The man thanked him and was about to leave. Zhang Wei was hit by a sharp pain like parting from life and death. He couldn't take his eyes off the lighter and cried, "Can you let me light it once?" The man handed it over, and Zhang Wei took it with trembling hands. Lighter, open the lid, slide a paddle, and fiddle with it for a long time. "It's not for that, it's for adjusting the size of the flame, dial here." The man reminded him. "Oh, I really seldom smoke, very little." Zhang Wei lit a fire, and the flame suddenly shot up to his face. Zhang Wei screamed and fell to the ground, covering his face and rolling, "Ah! My eyelashes."

After everyone learned of the tragedy, they sympathized with him very much. Yifei said kindly: "I know how cruel it feels to have a dream crushed, but you must be strong." "It's not just a dream problem, I lost a full 127 eyelashes!" "127? How do you know?" Xiaoxian was surprised. "I just counted in the toilet. Now there are only 55 in the left eye, which is 127 fewer than the right eye. How do you let me see people?" "Zhang Wei, in order to praise you for your good character, and to make up for your spiritual and physical trauma, we all paid together to buy you a gift." Yifei handed over an exquisite small wooden box.

"Could it be a lighter? You are so kind to me, I love you so much!" Zhang Wei opened the box, and there was a pair of false eyelashes in the box. Well, although it was a bit sticky, he still liked it very much. Therefore, Zhang Wei's previous loss helped Xiaoxian win this question! B 150 - 225! "It's amazing! Zeng Xiaoxian has answered the fourth question in a row and won a bonus of 500,000 yuan. If you answer the next question correctly, the bonus will be increased to... 1 million yuan! But I also want to remind you, The next question is very difficult, if you answer it wrong, you will lose everything. Please answer me carefully, take away the bonus, or continue to answer the question?"

Zeng Xiaoxian took another look at the empty seat, and an old woman sat on it, and said to herself disappointedly: "She didn't come." "what?" "I want to continue." Xiaoxian said calmly. There was warm applause from the audience, and the host smiled reluctantly: "Okay, I admire your courage, please listen to the question - what is the real name of the Chinese player who won the 2006 WCG e-sports world championship? A Li Xiaofeng B Luo Xian C Zhang Hongsheng D Liu Erlong." It can't be a coincidence that he knows again, yes, everything is predestined.Flashbacks to Christmas, pinecone wreaths, elk dolls, a Christmas tree full of ornaments, and he was happily reading a book.Yumo and Yoyo sneak in, trying to find the gift Yifei prepared for them in advance.

"This is a surprise on Christmas Eve, so what if you find it now?" Xiaoxian was unmoved. But Yu Mo reminded him, what if it is the cheapest, most boring and most unnecessary thing?Wouldn't it be a big loss if you gave her a big gift without knowing it before? Xiaoxian thought for three seconds, "You search the study room, I search the living room, Yoyo's bedroom, GoGoGo! Wait a minute, the most dangerous place is the safest place. You search first, and I'll go to the next door." After a long time, Xiaoxian came back with a broken shoe, "I found it. There is also a card: Stupid earthlings, do you think I would be so stupid as to put the present next door?! Hu Yifei. Shit!"

"We seem to have found a gift for you," Yoyo pointed to a box on the table, "But I'm not sure, you can see for yourself. It says 'Bitch Zeng', it should be you." Xiao Xian excitedly opened the cardboard box, and inside were some old towels, old earphones, half-eaten chewing gum, and mutilated CDs, all of which were his own.He used to live in this apartment, but because of a misunderstanding with Yifei, he moved away.Yifei told him that she threw away everything, but in fact she didn't throw it away, and put it here neatly. Yu Mo patted the cabinet, accidentally found that it seemed to be empty inside, removed the dark board, and the gift suddenly appeared.Everyone took out the presents and was about to unwrap them. Xiaoxian stopped, "Wait a minute, I can't unwrap. Yifei...may have spent a lot of time preparing these gifts for us. No matter how big or small the presents are, I think she actually wants to see them the most. What we got was the surprise expression at the moment we opened it, right?"

As soon as the words were finished, Yifei came in, and the three of them hurriedly stuffed the presents under the table. "You opened the Christmas present I gave you?! Who took the lead!" Yifei made a judgment and angrily said, "—Zeng Xiaoxian!" Zeng Xiaoxian was sweating profusely, and Hu Yifei continued to curse: "I sprayed you to death with a mouthful of salt soda, do you know how many people I entrusted to help you get that mouse pad?" "Mouse pad? Teacher Zeng really got the cheapest thing." Yu Mo and Yoyo muttered, Yifei shook his head, explaining that this is not an ordinary mouse pad, it has the 2006 WCG world champion and China's number one Warcraft player Sky on it. signature.She thought that Xiao Xian liked to play World of Warcraft and prepared it specially, but in fact he played World of Warcraft.

So at the show, Xiaoxian once again chose the correct answer gorgeously!Get a bonus of 1 million yuan!The audience stood up and boiled. "Zeng Xiaoxian, well done, you are the first person who can persist here. What is your reason for choosing A?" "I have his autograph, given to me by a friend." "Friend? Are your friends watching your game too?" Xiaoxian shook his head slowly, "No." "Now tell me, are you ready? Let's attack the last question. The bonus is... 5 million yuan!" Xiaoxian said hesitantly, "I..." The bell rang, and the host interrupted him, "Ah! What a pity, the time for this episode is up. Will Zeng Xiaoxian make the most important mistake of his life, or win the top prize of 5 million yuan? You are welcome to continue watching "Who Wanna Be a Millionaire, Goodnight!" With the lights off, Xiaoxian was surrounded by crowds, the host smiled and shook hands with him, the photographer took pictures, the flash flashed so that Xiaoxian's vision was blurred, the phone rang, and the caller ID was "Philippines".Xiaoxian picked it up, hesitated, and pressed it down with a gloomy expression. Afterwards, except for Yifei, everyone celebrates together in the bar, Xiaoxian is so drunk that he passes out, and is helped back by Yumo and Zhang Wei.Zi Qiao compared the card tasks and continued to rush to the field with stockings and equipment. As the saying goes, if there is a save, there will be a save. When there are only two people left, Guan Gu and Yoyo, they end the pause and continue to quarrel.Guan Gu said angrily, "What exactly do you want?" Yoyo was even angrier, "I'll give you 10 seconds to explain why you only show one manga, otherwise I'll keep ignoring you!" "Yuyou, why do you have to quarrel with something so romantic?" "You also know what romance is. This is a time capsule we only opened after 50 years. Do you know how much I value it?" "That's why I played "Three-legged Cat in Love"." Youyou cried sadly, "Why, this is your cartoon, it has nothing to do with me, it means you don't care about me at all!" "Actually... I also thought about putting a lot of your souvenirs in it, but there are too many things, and I really can't pick out what to put. Then I thought, what's the point of these things if you are not by my side What about it?" Guan Gu said softly. Yoyo raised her head, "I...I don't understand." "In my mind, 50 years from now, we will still be living happily together, and I won't let you go. I don't need a souvenir, because you...you are all my memories. We will walk together To the last day of my life. So, I put the manuscript of the first episode of this manga. Although it retails for only 10.5 now, but after 50 years, maybe it will be very valuable. By that time, I Will sell him, and then use the money to take you around the world, make movies for you, and help you realize all your dreams." "After 50 years, I will become a very old woman, and you still help me make movies?" Yoyo choked up. "Although it's a bit late, it's because I can't do it now, but your dream is my dream. No matter how many years, I will always remember it in my heart." Youyou hugged Guan Gu emotionally, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have peeked at your time capsule, I promise I won't peek at it again." "Now that you know it, will you still be pleasantly surprised after 50 years?" "No, this is the surprise I want. It feels so good." The two hugged affectionately again. The next day, Yoyo came out of the room, and Yifei had breakfast in the kitchen. "Sister Yifei, last night...did you release Teacher Zeng's pigeon? I found this on your desk." Yoyo took out a TV station pass. Yifei sighed, "Damn it, so it's here—is Zeng Xiaoxian scolding me behind my back?" "Hehe, it's okay." Yoyo squeezed out a smile, "He said this: Hu Yifei actually released my pigeon... But I don't care anyway, the result is the same, I won, ha! I have one last question , just wait and see, I want to make history!" "He still wants to go? Doesn't this guy know how to accept it? No, he can't go." "Why?" Yifei paused, "It's really amazing that he can win until now, but this has ruined the TV station's program plan. He can't participate in the last round, and the TV station won't let him win." "How do you know? You haven't even watched the game." "Of course I saw it." Yifei smiled bitterly. It turned out that last night, before the school activities were over, she sneaked out, but because she took the wrong pass, she was stopped by the security guard at the door.As a result, she watched the whole process in front of the TV in the toilet. Later, she finally slipped from the freight elevator to the backstage and overheard the conversation between the two directors.They said that if Zeng Xiaoxian dared to continue to participate in the competition, they would increase the difficulty of the last question and let him spit out all the prize money.Yifei wanted to rush into the scene, but was stopped by the security again, and called Xiaoxian, but the other party didn't answer. "Then go and persuade Mr. Zeng, he is in the room." After listening, Yoyo said, Yifei walked into the room, Xiaoxian ignored her coldly. "I... want to explain to you, yesterday..." Xiaoxian smiled distantly, "No need to explain, I know that many people don't have confidence in me, it doesn't matter, I just have it myself. You are busy with your work, work is important." "Actually, I'm here to remind you, don't participate in the last round, because..." The phone rang, and Xiaoxian picked it up, "Hi, Lisa! Hehe, thank you, gold always shines. Help me tell the program team that I will participate in the final round!" "What? You..." Yifei was surprised. Xiaoxian had already hung up the phone, "I have decided that I will win the final prize because I don't want others to underestimate me. That's it, Byebye." "...are you angry?" "Hehe, I'm not angry, why am I angry? I'm a happy little white dove! If you are free tomorrow night, welcome to sit in front of the TV and watch my performance. Of course, if you have something to do, feel free to You—I'm used to it." Xiaoxian shrugged, picked up an encyclopedia, and ignored Yifei. In the living room, Zi Qiao had blond hair and was slumped on the ground. Zhang Wei looked at him, "I have to dance to "Nobdoy". Your waist will flash." Zi Qiao said weakly: "No, no matter how old we are, as long as our faith is young, we are still young. I want to prove to her that getting old is not the worst thing, but getting old is the most terrible thing. I appreciate The beautiful woman will not grow old, because I don't allow it, so I must convince her, as long as I complete the last action, ah—" He struggled to stand up, fell down again, and Yu Mo appeared from behind. "You... actually don't have to do this for me at all." Zi Qiao pretended to be relaxed, "No, I just need a companion to sign up for the Wilderness Survival Club." "I've heard it all. Maybe, you're right. We can't jump to the next stop in one go. The process is the most important thing. Whether it's happy or not depends on how you feel and how you treat it." The two stared at each other for a long time, and laughed happily, Yu Mo threw the cards into the time capsule. In the evening, Xiaoxian and the host came on stage and sat down in the live broadcast room with a lively atmosphere.He will usher in a super gamble in his life. If he answers the last question correctly, he will win a bonus of 5 million yuan, plus a luxury suite in the center of the capital. If he answers wrong, he will lose his bonus of 1 million yuan and become an ordinary man again ordinary people.He calmly chose to continue. The host asked: "What year was the Beatles' famous single "Help" released? A 1970 B1965 C 1963 D1961." Xiaoxian hesitated, "I want to call my friend." Everyone in the apartment was nervous, each holding their mobile phones, Yifei's phone rang, she was slightly taken aback, and picked it up. "Yifei, it's me, I want to ask you... did you watch my show tonight?" "You didn't call just to confirm this, did you?" "Of course not, eh? What am I going to do?" The host reminded him that there are still 50 seconds left. Xiaoxian took a deep breath, "What year was the Beatles' single "Help" released?" "I... I don't know." "No, you know. Have you forgotten who I am? Bitch Zeng!" The host only felt that the thunder was rolling, and the contestant was nervous and deranged. Yifei paused for a second, suddenly realized, and slammed open the door of the study, frantically took out the bitch's box and rummaged through it. She remembered that there was this CD in the box.But at this moment, another voice came out of her heart, was she really going to help him?The last time he won a game, he didn't even answer the phone, does he really need me?No, I didn't think about being with him, but if he wins the game, he will be worth a hundred times, and we will really... God, do you need so many reasons to beat your friends? Like that bitch ever? "Yifei! Yifei!" Xiaoxian's voice came from the phone, "There are only 5 seconds left." Yifei woke up suddenly, and found that she had already got the CD, "Oh, here it is! The year Help was released is 196..." Before she could finish speaking, the phone was cut off, and there was an uproar at the scene, Xiaoxian was stunned. "Your friend has tried his best, you really can only rely on yourself now, at least A can be ruled out." The host said regretfully. "...I want to get rid of two wrong answers." "Your last chance to ask for help and see what the result is. The computer removed two wrong answers." The host waved his hand, and A 1970 and C 1963 were removed from the screen. "Unfortunately, the computer still left you with two suspected answers." The answer. Zeng Xiaoxian, what is your final answer? Everyone, this will be a historic moment! We will come back after the commercial." The lights at the scene were dimmed, Xiaoxian walked into the toilet, and the security guarded outside.While urinating, he chewed gum, sighed, and an old man came by. "Sigh, boy, no one can answer so many questions correctly, you are making history." Xiaoxian continued without looking up, "I won't become a millionaire, because I really don't know the correct answer." "No, you know." "Where?" "Here," the old man pointed to his heart, "you are a good man, and you are Zeng Xiaoxian. Do what you think is right, trust me, and you will succeed." The old man went out, Xiaoxian moved to wash his hands, and suddenly saw D written on the mirror. Back at the scene, the host said solemnly: "Now there are only two options left: B1965 and D1961. One letter will determine the ultimate bonus of 5 million yuan." Everyone on the scene held their breath. Xiaoxian flashed back to the handwriting on the bathroom mirror, took a deep breath, "I choose - B 1965!" "You know the answer?" "Don't know, but I've seen Slumdog Millionaire, Maybe it's written." "This is your final answer?" The host looked at him seriously, Xiaoxian nodded, the audience fell silent, and the correct answer B was displayed on the screen!Everyone was boiling, ribbons and sequins were flying, and a large check board of 5 million yuan and a symbolic golden key were presented in the ceremony. Is all this real? He just feels like a dream. What happens after winning it all?He will become a successful person as he wishes, and the variety show tailored for him will come as scheduled, and he will go to another city to start a new career.He didn't live in that luxury villa, but sold it, invested, changed hands, and invested again.Just like that, he became a billionaire.With the passage of time, I can't remember exactly which day I left the love apartment, but I only remember the expressions on everyone's faces when they went to the airport to see him off.Slowly, he gradually lost contact with them.Guan Gu, Ziqiao, Zhang Wei, Yumo, Yoyo, and Yifei. Fifty years later, he was alone in a tall villa, holding a notebook with a sheepskin cover, and wrote all his memories into a book - "Love Apartment", commemorating his lost youth and the lost person.He raised his head, looked at himself in the mirror, and was surprised to find that the people inside seemed familiar.As if being shocked by an electric shock, I suddenly remembered that the old man I met in the toilet was my old self!At that time, why did he deliberately give himself the wrong answer? Which of these is real?Which ones are illusory?What are the most important and cherished things in life?Xiaoxian suddenly woke up from his trance, and vaguely heard the host's voice. "Now there are only two options left: B in 1965 and D in 1961. One letter will determine the ultimate bonus of 5 million yuan. Zeng Xiaoxian! Please decide—your answer." It turned out that he was still at the scene. Xiaoxian came back to his senses and turned his head to look at the camera, as if looking for someone in the dark, looking for the happy time he had with his friends.In the living room of the apartment, Yifei was standing there, watching Xiaoxian's affectionate eyes on TV, holding the CD tightly.
