1: Frozen Apocalypse, daily card draw! (Please read)

“Mom, why is he here?”

Qu Hao looked at Lu Zheng, who was sitting by the dining table, with dissatisfaction, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.

As a classmate and even the class monitor, he knew Lu Zheng's situation very well.

Lu Zheng was an orphan, and the clothes he wore combined didn't even cost two hundred yuan.

He was usually an outcast in class, with little presence.

If Lu Zheng hadn't been a tenant in his house, whom he often encountered, he wouldn't even bother to know anything about him.

When Wen Miaojun saw her son push open the door and enter, her eyes initially showed surprise, as Qu Hao rarely came home to eat.

But upon hearing his question, she quickly explained:

“Today I bought you a new cabinet, and A Zheng helped me move it up.”

“You said you wouldn't be back for dinner, so I let him eat with us too, to avoid wasting food.”

Qu Hao impatiently interrupted.

“Alright, stop talking. Tell him to leave. Even if I don't eat it, I'd rather throw it away than let him have it.”

“Quickly transfer twenty thousand to me. Shu Ya's birthday is tonight, and I forgot to prepare a gift. I need to go buy one quickly, otherwise I'll lose face tonight.”

The Shu Ya he mentioned was Mi Shuya, the newly crowned campus belle of Donghai University. She had been enrolled for less than a year and had just turned eighteen.

Her family background was good; her father was hosting a birthday party for her at Qingyun Hotel, which also served as her coming-of-age ceremony.

Mi Shuya had invited many classmates, and Lu Zheng was clearly not qualified to attend.

Seeing her son in a hurry, Wen Miaojun quickly took out her phone and transferred twenty thousand to him.

Then she asked meekly:

“Didn't I just transfer twenty thousand to you the day before yesterday? Did you spend it all so quickly?”

“What nonsense!”

Qu Hao saw the transfer notification on his phone, went inside to swap for a Porsche car key, walked to the door, and pointed at Lu Zheng.

“Tell him to leave quickly. Don't let him stay here and dirty my floor.”

He said 'my house' instead of 'our house,' because deep down, he considered everything, including his mother, his own property.

After speaking, he slammed the door and left.

Lu Zheng had already stood up.

“Auntie, then I'll head back.”

He wasn't angry with Wen Miaojun, because Wen Miaojun was a very gentle woman.

Wen Miaojun was only thirty-six this year. She was born in a remote mountainous area and was bought home by Qu Hao's father very early to bear him a son.

However, when Qu Hao was five, his father died.

Leaving behind over a hundred million in inheritance in Wen Miaojun's hands.

Wen Miaojun did not squander it but bought real estate and gold, saving it all, which included this building in the Donghai University affiliated community.

Lu Zheng was an orphan. He started writing online in high school. Although he didn't earn much, it was enough for his living expenses and tuition.

To better focus on his writing, he chose to rent a room, which is how he met his classmate's mother.

“Don't go! Hao Hao just doesn't know how to talk, but he's actually very kind.”

Wen Miaojun's eyes reddened with urgency. She had been saying this for eighteen years, to the point where even her reflection in the mirror no longer believed it.

“Quickly sit down, let's eat together.”

Wen Miaojun also stood up. Perhaps due to her hurried movement, the collar of her silk cheongsam slightly parted, revealing a glimpse.

Lu Zheng subconsciously caught a fleeting glimpse of swaying white, and immediately, as if shocked, averted his gaze, his Adam's apple unconsciously bobbing.

The setting sun outside the window suddenly became dazzling, making the air between them unbearably hot and dry.

Despite being over thirty, Wen Miaojun's skin was as fair as a teenage girl's, without a single acne scar or wrinkle.

Her dark, long hair cascaded like a waterfall; time seemed to have left no trace on her face.

Only the charm of a mature woman emanated from her every gesture.

Qu Hao only inherited a third of Wen Miaojun's beauty, yet he was already a strong contender for this year's campus heartthrob.

Wen Miaojun's beauty was evident.

This was the legendary noblewoman, pampered and privileged!

“Thank you, Auntie, I'm already full.”

“I'm going back to write.”

With that, Lu Zheng fled in a panic.

Wen Miaojun only assumed that Qu Hao's words had hurt Lu Zheng's feelings and couldn't help but sigh.

Qu Hao's temperament was like his father's: overbearing, arrogant, and conceited.

Wen Miaojun didn't know how to discipline him. She could only hold onto the money she had, saving a little whenever she could spend less herself.

Lu Zheng returned to room 704 next door.

Just as he was about to cook himself a bowl of instant noodles, a panel suddenly appeared before his eyes.

【The Frozen Apocalypse has arrived. Congratulations on acquiring the Daily Gacha System】

Lu Zheng subconsciously clicked on the gacha.

【Congratulations! You have received a Resource Card】

【Item: Mineral Water】

【Type: Resource Card】

【Effect: Contains ten thousand boxes of mineral water, available for use at any time】

Ten thousand boxes of water right at the start?

If he drank one box a day, he could drink it for twenty-seven years.

This directly solved his worries about drinking water.

Wait, the Frozen Apocalypse has arrived?

Lu Zheng was startled, suddenly feeling a chill run through him, from his tailbone straight to the crown of his head.

It was almost early summer, yet there was such an bone-chilling cold.

He walked to the window and looked out, greatly surprised.

Outside the window, there was clearly sun, but heavy snow was falling.

The snow fell so rapidly, as if someone was constantly pouring it down from the rooftop.

The colorful world was quickly being swallowed by an endless expanse of white.

He frowned, then unhesitatingly went down to the first floor.

Unit 102 on the first floor was a small shop. Lu Zheng unhesitatingly grabbed large bags and packed all the instant noodles, dried noodles, rice, and sealed ready-to-eat meals.

There was only one cashier there, who almost thought Lu Zheng was crazy seeing his frantic shopping spree.

It took a full half an hour to scan and tally Lu Zheng's items.

Lu Zheng dragged two large bags back to his room, locked the door, and leaned on the sofa, letting out a sigh of relief.

In the half an hour he had just spent shopping, the heavy snow outside had already reached ten centimeters thick, and the temperature had dropped to over minus thirty degrees Celsius.

One hour ago, it was over thirty degrees Celsius!

Such a drastic temperature drop of nearly seventy degrees could likely shatter ordinary glass.

He had also considered the possibility of a sudden temperature drop and snow-blocked roads, which was why he hadn't gone to an outside supermarket to stock up.

Turning on the air conditioner's heat, Lu Zheng took out tape and sealed the window edges to reduce heat loss.

At this moment, a graceful figure appeared on the adjacent balcony.

A black cheongsam perfectly outlined elegant curves, and a mature aura exuded a gentle charm.

It was none other than Wen Miaojun.

She seemed to have just noticed something was wrong, looking at the falling snow outside, dialing on her phone, her face showing an expression of panic and urgency.

Lu Zheng looked at her, his eyes fixed.

This time it wasn't because of her impressive figure, but because he saw the system panel again.
