Chapter 1052: Side Story: Jiayu & Momo (7)
That brought the competition to an end.
The middle-aged woman raised He Jiayu’s hand and said excitedly, “The young man here is the champion of the watermelon-eating competition!”
The others clapped. It seemed to Su Xiaomo that the corner of He Jiayu’s mouth twitched, but he eventually smiled.
That smile reminded her of a flowing river under the moon.
Heart racing, Su Xiaomo wrung her hands together and was a little bewildered.
“Hey, Su Xiaomo,” said He Jiayu. “Look, here’s your prize.”
The rackets!
Su Xiaomo looked up, pleasantly surprised. However, the look on her face changed when she saw what He Jiayu was holding.
Could someone explain to her why was she getting… a gigantic foot spa?
“Take it.” He Jiayu handed her the spa basin.
Su Xiaomo jumped back. “I’m not taking that!”
Are you kidding me? She would draw the most attention, holding that basin in her arms!
He Jiayu said in resignation, “The competition is divided into groups and this is what my group got… If you really want those rackets, I… I’ll win them for you!”
He turned around, pretending to go back to the game.
He Jiayu had eaten a lot of watermelon already. Su Xiaomo was afraid that his stomach would burst if he did it again.
She couldn’t let him risk his health just because she wanted the rackets.
Su Xiaomo stopped him right away. “Don’t! This basin is quite nice… hohoho… It’s so spacious. I bet it can easily fit two pairs of feet!”
He Jiayu’s eyes twinkled all of a sudden, but it lasted only for a split second.
He smiled. “Yes.”
Yes? What yes? Su Xiaomo was baffled. She then picked up the basin. “I’m going back home, then.”
“Alright. Be safe and don’t open your door to strangers at night. By the way, if there’s really a burglar in your home, give him everything he wants. Don’t try to fight him just because you think you’re strong enough…” He Jiayu said patiently, which almost gave Su Xiaomo a headache.
Gosh, she only realized now that Cutie He was built to be a virtuous wife!
The guy nagged so much!
“Fine, fine, I know.” Su Xiaomo cut him off. “I’m off!”
She ran upstairs. Watching her and that huge basin from behind, He Jiayu couldn’t hold back his smile anymore.
Five minutes ago —
The middle-aged woman in charge asked, “You’re getting the rackets, right?”
He Jiayu asked, “May I switch it to something else?”
The woman chuckled. “Sure. What do you want?”
He Jiayu pointed randomly at the pile and the woman saw that he was pointing at the foot spa. “Sure, you can have that. But why? The foot spa is nice, but the rackets are signed… Isn’t that what you kids like?”
The handsome teenager smiled. “I just want to know if she cares about me.”
The woman was baffled. “Gosh, I must be too old for this!” She had no idea what this kid was talking about.
–
Looking at the resplendent sunset, He Jiayu rubbed his stomach.
Well, he supposed he had eaten a little too much.
But it was worth it.
–
That night, Su Xiaomo soaked her feet in the spa He Jiayu won, then climbed into bed and rolled around happily.
One, two, three, four…
He Jiayu was so handsome. He even ate more prettily than the others.
Would he look as handsome when he picked his nose? Su Xiaomo began to let her imagination fly.
Knock, knock —
She suddenly heard a tap on her window.
That creeped Su Xiaomo out. The burglar He Jiayu mentioned suddenly occurred to her and she got goosebumps all over!
