Su Xiaomo was taken by surprise . She was then greatly touched .
He said he liked her .
She felt like she was walking in the clouds and at the same time had been thrown into hell — it was a mix of happiness and pain .
She was happy to hear his confession of love .
But it pained her, because she knew that it was nothing but a lie .
Su Xiaomo forced a smile and played along . “I like you, too, Cutie He . Let’s make some babies together!”
He Jiayu went up to her and rubbed her head affectionately . “Come, I’ll walk you home . ”
After that, he ignored the other girls around him and left with Su Xiaomo .
The others watched enviously as the two of them walked away .
The short-haired said in bewilderment, “Are they… a couple?”
“Heh, like hell! Lord Jiayu is just messing around with her!”
“Really?” The short-haired girl wasn’t convinced .
For when He Jiayu looked at Su Xiaomo, the short-haired girl saw in his eyes a tenderness that belonged only to Su Xiaomo .
The Su family .
The residential area Su Xiaomo lived in was bustling today . Su Xiaomo went to check out what was going on, and saw that after arm-wrestling, kicking shuttlecocks, and poker, they had come up with something new today: a watermelon-eating competition .
The prize was quite generous . The winner would get a pair of tennis rackets, second place an e-dictionary, and third place a foot spa .
At this hour, most of the residents were back from work or school, and everyone gathered round to watch the fun .
Su Xiaomo wasn’t interested at first, but she almost jumped up in excitement when she spotted the rackets .
“Wow! They’re signed by BT!” She was talking about a tennis player from Yu City, who was as capable as he was handsome . He was a well-loved player in Yu City .
Su Xiaomo raised her hand eagerly . “Count me in!”
The middle-aged woman in charge of registration was going to write her name down when He Jiayu went up to her . “The name is He Jiayu . ”
“What? I thought the young lady here is the contestant?” The woman was confused .
Su Xiaomo was about to say something when He Jiayu covered her mouth with a hand . “She was only saying that for me . ”
“I see . ” The woman nodded, then wrote He Jiayu’s name down .
No one there recognized the handsome teenager as that He Jiayu from Starry Night .
“What are you doing… I want to do it!” Su Xiaomo complained . “You can register yourself . We can double the chances of winning if there’s two of us! Why did you take my place…”
He Jiayu gave her a meaningful look and said succinctly, “Watermelons are rather cold and girls shouldn’t eat too much of them . ”
Su Xiaomo pursed her lips . Before she could mock He Jiayu for that comment, the competition started .
Over a dozen people were taking part and every single one of them looked like competition .
Su Xiaomo hopped around anxiously as He Jiayu ate through his watermelon unhurriedly . She almost rushed up to the stage to take his place!
However, as time passed, the contestants began to give up . He Jiayu, on the other hand, went on eating .
Only then did Su Xiaomo remember that they weren’t competing to see who ate the fastest, but who could eat more!
Ten minutes later, there were only five people left .
Fifteen minutes passed and the number was down to three .
Twenty minutes later, the only ones left were He Jiayu and a guy with a substantial appetite .
The two men exchanged looks and the guy snorted before he went on wolfing down watermelon .
He Jiayu still ate slowly and gracefully .
The big appetite guy probably ate too quickly . He burped all of a sudden and began to vomit .
Hence, he was eliminated .
He Jiayu unhurriedly finished one piece of watermelon more than the big appetite guy .
