A Snow Biscuit

Chapter 36 Xia Xinyu Wants Luck

Being bullied by a bad egg, beat the bad egg.

If it were something else, Chen Yuan could console her like that.

But unfortunately, the bad egg…

Can’t be beaten.

If Chen Yuan encountered a situation where he was beating four eggs, and the fourth egg was bad, ruining the whole bowl, he would probably smash the bowl too.

So it's normal for Xia Xinyu to cry.

Four eggs, seventy cents each, that's three yuan, which is even equivalent to two people's breakfast expenses.

The Chen family, which was already not well-off, was made even worse off because of these four eggs.

"Wait, I'll handle it."

Since Xia Xinyu was bullied by a bad egg, Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

"Handle… handle what?" Like a carefree guy drawing circles on the ground, Xia Xinyu turned her head, looking at Chen Yuan with teary eyes.

"We can't punish the eggs if they have problems. But, we can find the source."

Xia Xinyu weakly asked, "Are you going to find the hen...?"

"Listen to what you're saying."

"Then what?"

Chen Yuan didn't answer, took the box of eggs from the refrigerator, placed it next to the bowl containing the bad egg, took a photo of it, then opened Meituan on his phone, found the Sunshine Supermarket customer service, and sent the very meaningful photo to them.

If you don't refund my money within ten minutes, I will detonate Xia Hai City.

If the relevant departments do not intervene, I will guide the Trisolaran Lord.

Sunshine Supermarket: What's wrong, dear?

Mr. Chen: The eggs I bought today have some bad ones, you can take a look, the eggshells also have the printed trademark.

Sunshine Supermarket: Okay, dear, we are very sorry for the unpleasant shopping experience caused to you, we will refund you the money right away.

"Great! We can get a refund." Chen Yuan happily conveyed this good news to Xia Xinyu.

Xia Xinyu was stunned when she heard this, then quickly got up, wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and leaned closer to him, staring at the phone together.

A strand of beautiful hair beside her bangs gently fell from the side of the phone, sliding across Chen Yuan's finger...

Chen Yuan's gaze only shifted slightly, and he saw her soft face, only inches away from him.

He could even clearly feel her breathing and skin.

So close…

But she didn't realize it at all, all her emotions were being stirred by the Sunshine Supermarket customer service.

And his emotions were unfairly stirred by her.

Of course, it was mainly because he was too tall, the petite Xia Xinyu was completely in his sight, like an all-knowing and all-powerful God's perspective.

Oh right… his superpower is the all-knowing and all-powerful God's perspective.

Sunshine Supermarket: Then may I ask, how many eggs are bad?

"Hiss… ah, this."

Seeing this, Chen Yuan was also stirred by the Sunshine Supermarket customer service.

"Ah, this…" Xia Xinyu, like Chen Yuan, showed a troubled expression, "We only had one bad egg, logically speaking, we should only be compensated for one egg, right."

"That's the logic… but putting the logic aside…"

But the key is that Chen Yuan is not the kind of unreasonable person, he can't put it aside.

If they only had one bad egg, why should they be compensated for four eggs?

"Then should we say two, and let them bear half of our loss?" Xia Xinyu asked tentatively.

"If you have one bad egg, would you still crack another egg into it…"

After Chen Yuan said this, Xia Xinyu's face flushed red, and she looked at him awkwardly, "Did you just… think I was stupid?"

"How dare I, according to Lao Mo's logic, it's disrespectful for students from Eleventh High School not to kneel when they see students from Fourth High School."

"Okay… let's talk about the eggs." Xia Xinyu thought for a while, then asked, "Or should we just tell the truth?"

"We should tell the truth, but we still have to say something."

Mr. Chen: The fourth egg was bad, and then the other three eggs can't be used.

After sending this sentence, the customer service on the other end was silent for a while.

Then, it started showing 'The other party is typing…', 'The other party is typing…', after about a minute, they finally gave a reply.

Sunshine Supermarket: Okay, then we will compensate you for four eggs, 2.8 yuan, please send me your WeChat.

"Yay, look." Chen Yuan showed the phone to Xia Xinyu.

"Is this loss… will she bear it?" However, Xia Xinyu showed some hesitation.

After she said this, Chen Yuan also had this concern.

The silence just now, and the long period of editing and deleting, did indeed make it easy for people to have some associations, what if she really had to bear it, how innocent would she be…

In the end, Chen Yuan decided to maintain his sense of morality.

Mr. Chen: Then is this loss borne by you?

Sunshine Supermarket: Of course not, dear, it's our boss, hee hee.

Hee hee your mom.

If you weren't the one paying, why were you so conflicted?

Chen Yuan almost made the husky pointing gesture at the phone screen.

"Then let's crack a few more eggs."

After the source of the bad egg was held accountable, Xia Xinyu's mood also calmed down, she poured out the bowl of eggs from just now and cracked four more eggs again.

Although her expression returned to her previous gentle and beautiful state, Chen Yuan, who could hear her inner voice, was, after all, an all-knowing God: "You, are you still in a bad mood?"

"…" Xia Xinyu was silent for a while, then said with a smile, "You could tell."

Xia Xinyu hid her worries very deeply, you couldn't tell just by looking at her expression.

But he could hear it.

"This kind of thing is upsetting for anyone, even if they get a refund," Chen Yuan said.

"I feel like I'm a bit too unlucky." Gently biting her lip, Xia Xinyu's tone suddenly became a little low.

Speaking of bad luck, if the death of her parents was also counted as luck, she would be the unluckiest person in the world.

But he couldn't let her think that way.

"There are bad eggs inside, anyone would encounter it, how could it be your bad luck?"

"Then who would happen to have the fourth one be a bad egg?" Xia Xinyu asked rhetorically.

"…" Chen Yuan was stopped by her words, paused for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "But we won first prize twice today."

"But that was you who won, if it was me…" Xia Xinyu gently turned her face to the side, and said in a low voice, "It would definitely be two packs of tissues."

That has nothing to do with bad luck either.

The probability of getting tissues is 95 percent, the probability of getting tissues twice is 90.25.

That is to say, getting two packs of tissues is normal, it conforms to statistics.

But you're playing this game with me, huh?

Alright, alright, alright.

Grasping Xia Xinyu's shoulders with both hands, Chen Yuan didn't say a word, and pushed her towards the living room.

"Eh?"

Xia Xinyu didn't understand what was going on, but the braised pork ribs still needed a long time, and she didn't need to keep watching it, so she didn't resist… no, she should be called, didn't object.

"Sit down."

"… Okay."

Xia Xinyu didn't know what was wrong with Chen Yuan, but he was very serious, so she didn't dare to say anything, just watched Chen Yuan tear off ten pieces of paper, then take a red pen, and write 'Unlucky', 'Unlucky'… 'Lucky' on the paper.

"There is one lucky one among the ten. If you draw it, it means you are lucky."

"Eh?!" Hearing this, Xia Xinyu quickly waved her hands in refusal, "What if I draw an unlucky one… wouldn't that be like being cursed by 'unlucky', adding bad luck to myself."

"You also have the possibility of drawing lucky."

"But that's only a ten percent probability, it's too difficult…" Xia Xinyu continued to shake her head.

"You can regard the 90.25% high probability event as your misfortune, but now you don't acknowledge the 10% lucky one?"

"Is 90.25% the probability of drawing tissues twice… you calculated so fast, you're quite talented in math." Xia Xinyu admired.

"Arithmetic is just useless effort."

"But are we really going to draw?" Xia Xinyu was a little hesitant, looking at the paper balls in front of her, she didn't want this kind of thing to determine her luck.

But, why can't she be that ten percent?

The word lucky was written on the paper.

Luck exists here.

If I draw it…

Can it show that I am not unlucky.

Moreover, I can also be lucky.

Without allowing herself to refuse, Chen Yuan had already stirred the paper balls with his hand.

Which one was 'lucky', she didn't know anymore, so there was no way to cheat and get lucky.

But when Chen Yuan stopped, her gaze immediately fell on one of them.

Reaching out her hand, she chose the one that seemed to be saying 'Pick me', and took the initiative to appear in the most visible spot.

Mathematics can be used for gambling.

Magic can also be used for gambling.

But neither is as convenient as listening to the voice in one's heart.

When he obtained this ability, Chen Yuan knew that if this power were used for gambling, it could allow him to earn enough money to buy a country.

Therefore, he had long ago promised the god who gave him his superpowers—Your Bro Yuan, will not use this ability for gambling.

But this time, he not only used it, but also became the 'house'.

Looking at Xia Xinyu, who seemed to have bet her entire future, carefully unfolding the paper ball, Chen Yuan also had something he wanted to win.

The house’s bet is simple—

A smile.

The crumpled paper ball unfolded, and the red word appeared.

A line of tears quietly slid down her cheek, she clenched the paper back into a ball, treasured it in her palm, Xia Xinyu closed her eyes, reverently pressed her forehead against it, and smiled through her tears: "Yeah, I drew it."
