168 Eating Melons

After Ji Jun received the watermelon, he walked out of the door. Lin Zi watched helplessly as the round watermelon slipped away from his hand. He was so angry that he almost shouted, but he was afraid that others would hear him. He could only shout softly, “Where are you going with that thing!”

Unfortunately, Ji Jun did not even turn around. Lin Zi could only scratch his thinning hair helplessly. “Hmph, I have a lot of watermelons. If you don’t let me eat this one, I can eat others.”

He went into the empty room beside and saw two large wicker baskets filled with round green watermelons. They looked very pleasing.

That day, when Ji Jun returned and said that he wanted to stock up on more watermelons, he specially went to look for the watermelon seller and bought all the remaining watermelons in his acres.

As the watermelon would not be fresh after being plucked and placed for half a month, he discussed with the old master and asked him to send the watermelons over once a week so that they could eat them fresh on the spot.

For example, these two baskets of watermelons were the fresh watermelons that the old master had just sent over during the day. Lin Zi chose the largest one and cut it in half. He picked up a spoon and scooped it up to eat. “Hmph, it’s even better if I eat more than half of it myself.”

It was obvious that he still had some resentment towards Ji Jun for snatching the watermelon.

In the courtyard next door, Yu Han had just finished showering and drying her hair. Seeing He Meng sitting in the courtyard with her chin on her hands, she poked her head out of the living room window curiously. “Didn’t you say that you were going to write a proposal? Why are you sitting here in a daze?”

He Meng was about to say something when she looked up and saw Ji Jun carrying a whole watermelon over.

Under their surprised gazes, Ji Jun placed the watermelon on the stone table in the courtyard without blushing. “I can’t find my fruit knife. I’ll borrow yours.”

Hearing his words, He Meng suspected that Ji Jun wanted to eat watermelon, but he couldn’t find his fruit knife, so he came to ask them if they wanted watermelon. However, she couldn’t say anything. She turned around and went back to the house to get the fruit knife.

Yu Han was wearing cute rabbit pajamas and a pair of pink slippers. She skipped out of the courtyard. “Where did you buy this watermelon? It’s delicious.”

Ji Jun retracted his gaze from her and turned to sit on a wooden stool at the side. “I bought them from an old man nearby. If you like them, I’ll get him to send you some.”

“Alright, alright.” Yu Han nodded repeatedly. “Ask him to send me a few more. I want to eat one a day and live a life of watermelon freedom.”

He Meng came out with a fruit knife and happened to hear her words. She couldn’t help but complain, “Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to act if you gain weight?”

Yu Han patted her stomach. “The watermelon is full of water. It’ll be gone after going to the toilet twice. Moreover, I’m still young and my metabolism is strong. I can metabolize it if I eat more.”

He Meng, who was already 32 years old and had a slow metabolism, felt that she had been shot several times in the knee by a few arrows. She raised the fruit knife and said faintly, “Why? Am I getting in your way because I’m old and fat?”

As expected, a woman’s age and weight were taboo. Coincidentally, Yu Han bumped into two of them. She laughed dryly and said, “Sister Meng, you look like you’re in your early twenties with your baby face. In addition, your bones are small. Even if you’re a little fatter, you don’t look fat at all.”

“Hmph, I’ll forgive you for the time being on account of what you said.” He Meng stabbed the fruit knife into the watermelon and twisted her wrist. The watermelon was broken into two with a soft pop.

Yu Han instinctively touched her neck. She felt that He Meng’s way of opening the watermelon just now was especially like chopping the enemy’s neck.

Fortunately, the refreshing smell of watermelon spread and quickly chased away the inexplicable thoughts in her mind.

“You can only eat two small slices,” He Meng hurriedly declared when she saw her pounce on her. It was almost midnight, yet she still ate so many watermelons. Even if she didn’t gain weight, her face would still be swollen tomorrow morning. At that time, Director Bai would pull his hair again.

Yu Han did not mind eating less as long as she had something to eat. Seeing that Ji Jun, the owner of the watermelon, had already picked up a piece of watermelon. She quickly picked up a watermelon and took a big bite in satisfaction before nodding and muttering, “I understand.”

Because she was busy with those messy things at night, she only took two casual bites of dinner. Coincidentally, she was hungry now. She was really lucky to be able to eat a big watermelon to quench her thirst and craving.

Just this mouthful of sweet and crispy watermelon felt like it could sweep away all the dirt in the past day or two.

For a moment, only the sound of the three of them eating melons could be heard in the courtyard.
