Top-Tier Superpower Student

With no other option, Lin Tian had to return to the classroom, hoping He Qianqian would come back since the third evening self-study period was also He Qianqian\'s class.

Little did he know that he would wait 20 minutes; it was only 20 minutes into the third evening self-study period when he finally saw He Qianqian return to the classroom with a grave expression.

Upon her return, Lin Tian noticed that He Qianqian seemed preoccupied, always staring blankly, lost in thought. Moreover, the rims of her eyes appeared slightly red as if she had been crying.

From the back of the room, catching sight of this scene, Lin Tian slightly pursed his lips, wishing the class would end sooner. At the same time, he noticed a red glow shimmering on He Qianqian. It was the glow of the task.

"Ling Ling…" After a long wait of 20 minutes, the dismissal bell finally rang.

As soon as it rang, He Qianqian left with a heavy heart, entirely lacking her usual liveliness.

Seeing this, Lin Tian quickly greeted Bu Mengting, telling her to go ahead, and then he followed after He Qianqian.

Rushing out of the classroom, Lin Tian followed behind He Qianqian. However, he did not hurry to approach her.

Lin Tian continued to follow He Qianqian, watching her return to the faculty office, then saw her walking alone towards the teachers\' dormitory.

Following behind He Qianqian, they walked out of the academic building, and noticing that not many people were paying attention, Lin Tian quickly stepped forward and greeted her with a smile, "Hi, Teacher He!"

Startled by the voice, He Qianqian turned her head and saw it was Lin Tian, forcing a smile on her face, "Lin Tian, it\'s you. Why haven\'t you gone back yet?"

"I came to walk Teacher He!" Lin Tian noticed that her face was somewhat pale this time.

"No need, I\'m feeling a bit unwell today. You go back first," He Qianqian said with evident fatigue.

"There must be something wrong, isn\'t there?" Lin Tian didn\'t pick up on what He Qianqian had just said but questioned instead.

"I\'m fine!" He Qianqian forced a light smile.

"Your complexion has worsened. There must be something wrong, and it clearly has to do with the phone call you took earlier during the evening self-study." Lin Tian\'s gaze remained fixed on He Qianqian.

He Qianqian stayed silent, saying nothing.

She felt very tired now and didn\'t want to talk.

Seeing this, Lin Tian didn\'t rush her but merely stayed silently by her side as they walked slowly towards the dormitory.

They walked in silence. When they were almost at the dormitory, Lin Tian softly asked, "Teacher He, what\'s the matter? Maybe I can help if you tell me!"

He Qianqian turned her head to look at Lin Tian and gently smiled, "It\'s nothing serious, and even if it was, you wouldn\'t be able to help."

"Just tell me, how would you know without saying!" Lin Tian pressed on, unwilling to give up.

He Qianqian shook her head, giving a bitter smile. After thinking it over, she finally said, "My dad called just now; my mom is sick, and we still need over two hundred thousand for the surgery. If we can\'t assemble it by tomorrow, she might be in mortal danger. But despite everything I\'ve tried, I\'m still tens of thousands short! Ah!" With those words, He Qianqian let out a long sigh.

The burden was immense, which is why she ended up sharing this with Lin Tian.

"Short of tens of thousands?" Lin Tian was taken aback, instantly thinking of the lottery ticket worth over two hundred thousand in his pocket.

"We\'re here, you should go back, thank you for walking me here." Unaware, they had already arrived at the teachers\' dormitory building below, He Qianqian stopped walking, turning around with a grateful look at Lin Tian.

She was truly grateful to have someone with her when she needed it, even though this person couldn\'t really help her with anything.

"Ah? Oh, okay." Lin Tian raised his head and realized that they had indeed reached the dormitory.

"Alright, you can leave." He Qianqian smiled and waved her hand.

"Okay, goodbye, Teacher." Lin Tian glanced around quickly and then briskly walked away.

Watching Lin Tian leave, He Qianqian suppressed her smile, walking towards the dormitory with a gloomy air.

As soon as He Qianqian turned around, Lin Tian discreetly hid himself nearby, only appearing after he saw He Qianqian enter her room then he headed straight for her dormitory.

The moment He Qianqian declared her troubles, Lin Tian immediately thought of the lottery ticket in his pocket.

For Lin Tian, the money was easily attained, and he could get it anytime he wanted, so helping He Qianqian was no problem at all. However, he thought it inappropriate to show the lottery ticket outside, better to offer it in her room.

But fearing that He Qianqian wouldn\'t let him into the room, Lin Tian had lied about going back first.

Seeing He Qianqian go in, Lin Tian quickly walked to her doorway.

Upon reaching the door, Lin Tian knocked.

"Who is it?" Back in the room, a weary He Qianqian had just taken off her white suit jacket when she heard the knock.

"Creak—!" As the door opened, He Qianqian saw Lin Tian standing at the threshold.

"Lin Tian, why haven\'t you left yet?" Seeing Lin Tian, He Qianqian was startled, her face filled with confusion.

"Teacher, I have something to show you." Lin Tian spoke as he stepped past He Qianqian into her dormitory.

"Hey, what are you doing!" He Qianqian was startled when she saw Lin Tian barge in.

After entering He Qianqian\'s room, Lin Tian glanced around. Her room was small, around ten square meters, but it was warmly decorated with little red stars hanging in the air.

"What are you doing, why did you just come in?" He Qianqian turned around and looked at Lin Tian with dissatisfaction on her face.

Lin Tian didn\'t speak but went straight to the desk next to him, then took something out of his pocket.

With Lin Tian\'s actions, dozens of lottery tickets were placed on the desk.

"What are you doing?" He Qianqian scanned the lottery tickets on the desk in confusion, then turned to look at Lin Tian.

"Teacher, I bought these tickets, and they haven\'t been scratched off yet. I know you need money, so I\'m giving them all to you. Maybe you could win a big prize!" Lin Tian said cheerfully, pointing to the pile of tickets on the desk. Then he looked at Lin Tian with expectant eyes.

Hearing Lin Tian\'s words, He Qianqian was startled, then looked at the hopeful expression on Lin Tian\'s face, and then at the pile of tickets on the desk. Suddenly, she felt somewhat touched.

Although she knew that these tickets were unlikely to be of much help to her, it was rare for Lin Tian to show such thoughtfulness.

Unable to bear rejecting Lin Tian, He Qianqian shook her head with a wry smile, saying, "Well then, thank you. Let\'s see if I can win a big prize."

With that, He Qianqian approached the desk and began to scratch the lottery tickets.

However, He Qianqian didn\'t really believe these tickets could help her; she was just doing it so as not to disappoint Lin Tian.

The first ticket read "Thank you."

The second ticket read "Thank you."

The third ticket also read "Thank you." All three in a row were \'Thank you\'.

Seeing this, He Qianqian shook her head; as expected, it was futile.

The fourth ticket showed \'100\'. This made He Qianqian somewhat happy. After all, winning something was still good.

But the surprises were not over yet. The fifth, sixth, and seventh tickets ... the next dozen or so tickets consecutively had prizes.

There were even a few that were worth thousands.

This made He Qianqian start to get excited, and a flicker of hope began to grow inside her.

As she continued to scratch off tickets, the winnings kept coming, consistently high, but until the last ticket was scratched, none was worth tens of thousands.

After counting carefully, the forty-four tickets totaled twenty thousand yuan.

The fact that dozens of tickets could win twenty thousand was quite good, but compared to the amount He Qianqian needed, it was still far too little.

Thinking about this, the excitement He Qianqian initially felt began to wane. Looking at the pile of tickets on the desk, He Qianqian lifted her head to look at Lin Tian and forced a smile, "It\'s really quite lucky, to win twenty thousand from just a few dozen tickets."

"It\'s still tens of thousands short." Lin Tian seemed glum.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"That\'s not bad at all, thank you for your thoughtfulness," He Qianqian said with a smile, comforting him. But thinking about the shortfall, she couldn\'t help but feel a bit down.

"Hey, there\'s one more underneath." Just as He Qianqian was feeling down, Lin Tian suddenly exclaimed, pointing underneath the table, then bent down.

He Qianqian turned her head and saw Lin Tian pick up a lottery ticket from the ground.

Clutching the ticket in his hand, Lin Tian grinned and said, "Teacher He, this one might just win ten thousand!"

"Impossible!" He Qianqian shook her head outright.

"Well then, I\'ll scratch it." Hearing He Qianqian\'s definite response, Lin Tian\'s eyes brightened, clutching the ticket tightly, not letting He Qianqian see it as he slowly scratched it.

A few seconds later, He Qianqian glanced at Lin Tian, who seemed mysterious, and asked, "So how is it?"

Lin Tian feigned distress, pulled a face, and said, "Not ten thousand!"

"I thought as much, such luck couldn\'t be true," He Qianqian said matter-of-factly.

"But!" Lin Tian lifted his eyebrows, grinned mischievously, and gently placed the ticket on the desk, "But it\'s more!"

"Huh?" He Qianqian instinctively looked towards the lottery ticket on the desk, towards the scratch-off area.

Upon seeing it, He Qianqian was stunned.

So many zeros!

She saw a 2 followed by many zeros!

"200,000?" He Qianqian gasped, carefully counting, five zeros. Behind the 2 were five zeros!

Was it really 200,000?

He Qianqian was dumbstruck.
