Chapter 291 Sister, you are truly my lucky star!
Ma Wei's shouts woke up Wu Di and Wu Jia, who were still sleeping.
The two men came out looking completely bewildered, and then looked at Ma Wei, who was still shouting, not knowing what had happened.
When Wu Di and Wu Jia saw the replay on TV, they realized what had happened.
So they didn't go to sleep, quickly washed up, and the two brothers sat at the table behind the sofa to watch the game.
"Brother, where are the tickets?"
It took Ma Wei a long time to calm down before he asked.
Wang Xiucheng took a bag out of the sofa and threw it to Ma Wei.
Ma Wei took the package, unzipped it, and found three tickets already placed in a plastic bag inside.
Find the tickets for the Argentina vs. Saudi Arabia match and carefully place them on the table.
"I advise you to calm down," Wang Xiucheng said without turning around. "Argentina is a favorite to win the championship, and beating Saudi Arabia is highly probable. It's normal for them to score first."
Upon hearing this, Ma Wei was suddenly taken aback. "Yes, isn't it normal for Argentina to score?"
He quickly checked the score on the ticket that Wang Xiucheng had bet on: Argentina 1-2 Saudi Arabia.
The probability of this score actually occurring seems low.
So Ma Wei, who had been somewhat excited, suddenly calmed down.
Ma Wei took out some snacks and fruits for Zhang Jiani and Wang Xiucheng, and then poured a large bag of sunflower seeds he bought in Chinatown onto the table.
I ate while watching the game.
"You really spent 900 million?"
A dozen minutes later, Zhang Jiani suddenly asked.
“Yes,” Wang Xiucheng replied after eating a segment of orange.
"What if we lose?" Zhang Jiani asked worriedly.
900 million dollars, that's no small sum.
Although she knew that Wang Xiucheng was making money easily now, she shouldn't be spending it like this.
"It's all about luck," Wang Xiucheng said. "It's a one-man game anyway. If you win, you'll be rich and powerful; if you lose, you'll just have to play well and make money."
Zhang Jiani stopped talking.
She regretted saying those things.
She's nobody to Wang Xiucheng, so why should she care about him?
The first half ended quickly.
Wang Xiucheng opened the window, letting the cold New York air into the room to calm himself down.
The cold wind made the bills on the table float, which startled Ma Wei so much that he immediately lay down on the table and pressed the bills under his body.
The outcome will be decided in the second half.
It was not yet 6 a.m., and the sky in New York was still not bright; the city seemed to be asleep.
After hearing the start of the second half of the game on the TV, Wang Xiucheng returned to the sofa and sat down.
Zhang Jiani was huddled on the sofa next to her, and the window had been open for a long time, causing the temperature in the room to drop sharply.
Wang Xiucheng and the others were fine, but Zhang Jiani was definitely a bit cold.
Wang Xiucheng took his coat from the side and draped it over Zhang Jiani, while also holding her hand.
"Your hands are so cold."
Zhang Jiani's body suddenly stiffened. Wang Xiucheng's hand was very warm, like a stove.
However, Wang Xiucheng quickly withdrew his hand and focused on watching the game.
This relieved Zhang Jiani.
Just three minutes into the second half, Saudi Arabia broke into Argentina's penalty area and took a shot from the left side.
The football flew towards the right side of the goal.
The Argentine goalkeeper lunged for the ball, but it still found its way into the net.
"Holy crap...it's in...it's in..."
Ma Wei suddenly shouted, scattering a handful of sunflower seeds into the air, and jumped up.
Wu Di and Wu Jia also started shouting like madmen, grabbing each other's collars and shaking each other violently.
Even with all his preparations, Wang Xiucheng could no longer remain calm at this moment.
He jumped up and shouted, "Beautiful!"
Then Wang Xiucheng turned around and saw Zhang Jiani, so he hugged Zhang Jiani tightly.
"Goal! Goal!"
Wang Xiucheng shouted so loudly that Zhang Jiani's ears were ringing.
But she was a little confused, her hands raised in the air, unsure of what to do.
"Sister, you are my lucky star!" Wang Xiucheng shouted, grabbing Zhang Jiani's hand and jumping up like Ma Wei and the others.
It took Wang Xiucheng several minutes to calm down.
He picked up the bills on the table, glanced at them in disbelief, and then let out a long sigh of relief.
One more ball needed!
Ma Wei and his two companions ran over at this moment, the sunflower seeds under their feet crunching loudly.
"Bro, it's 1-1! Just one more point!" Ma Wei shouted excitedly. Whether from excitement or from jumping around earlier, sweat was already on his face.
"Yes, we're still one goal short, but Argentina is still a strong team. It's almost impossible for them to concede another goal," Wang Xiucheng said.
"My heart is pounding so hard right now, I think I might have a heart attack. Bro, what are the odds for this game?"
"90 times!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Wei began to take deep breaths repeatedly.
Wang Xiucheng leaned back on the sofa, forcing himself to calm down.
But his trembling hands betrayed him.
As the match progressed, Wang Xiucheng's hands trembled even more violently.
Zhang Jiani tried several times to hold Wang Xiucheng's hand to calm him down, but in the end she didn't actually do it.
A few more minutes into the game, in the 52nd minute, Zhang Jiani noticed that Wang Xiucheng's hand was almost unable to hold on.
Finally, Zhang Jiani reached out and grasped Wang Xiucheng's hand.
At that moment, Zhang Jiani was surprised to find that Wang Xiucheng's hands, which had been as hot as a furnace, were actually colder than hers.
And Wang Xiucheng's palms were covered in cold sweat!
This indicates that Wang Xiucheng is currently extremely nervous.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Jiani had just asked.
Then Wang Xiucheng suddenly stood up.
Looking at the TV as if sensing something, Zhang Jiani noticed that the team wearing green jerseys had scored another goal.
At that moment, the room fell into an eerie silence.
Both Wang Xiucheng and Ma Wei, who had been very excited, fell silent.
It took Ma Wei a good ten seconds before he asked incredulously, "Holy crap... it went in again?"
"Holy crap...it went in again, it went in..."
Ma Wei started running around the room like a madman, shouting as he ran.
Wu Di and Wu Jia weren't much better at this point either; they were like fierce bulls, roaring with their heads down!
Wang Xiucheng bent over, propped his knees up, and took a deep breath.
"Are you OK?"
Seeing Wang Xiucheng's state, Zhang Jiani asked with some concern.
Wang Xiucheng didn't answer, but instead hugged Zhang Jiani again.
And this time, Wang Xiucheng went too far by only scratching the surface.
Although they parted ways immediately, Zhang Jiani was stunned.
"Sister, you are truly my lucky star!"
This time, Wang Xiucheng truly calmed down and sat back down on the sofa.
He was still holding Zhang Jiani's hand with only one hand.
Zhang Jiani, whose face was already flushed red, didn't even know how she managed to sit down.
But when she felt Wang Xiucheng's hands gradually getting warmer and the sweat gradually disappearing, Zhang Jiani felt relieved.
Ma Wei and his two companions continued running, as if only in this way could they believe that this was true.
It took several minutes before the three of them, panting heavily, returned to the television.
From then on, everyone focused intently on the game.
As the end of the match drew closer, Ma Wei and his teammates became increasingly nervous.
They were afraid that the other team would score another goal at that moment.
Wang Xiucheng, on the other hand, is much better.
Although I'm still worried, things aren't as bad as they were at the beginning.
When the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.
Excited shouts erupted again from inside the room.
