Chapter 1051: Side Story: Jiayu & Momo (6)

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.
