Chapter 625: 625. Where do you live_1 Chapter 625: 625. Where do you live_1 Song Tan stood there with a watermelon in his hands, looking bewildered and torn.
To not eat it would be a shame, the watermelon really smelled good!
But to eat it, he truly wanted to break up.
Dating isn’t a crime, what’s the big deal with dating around?
He had never been the other man in his life, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to admit?
Besides… besides, Lili wasn’t some unparalleled beauty, she just acted so delicate, weak, and obedient, and he found it refreshingly enjoyable…
Then he looked at Wu Lei, squatting there clinging to the watermelon, forcefully tearing off a piece, eating it with a crunch while tears fell, not letting his distress interfere with his appetite, in a truly pitiful state.
Compelled, he couldn’t help asking, “Bro, if I break up with your Lili, and you still can’t let go, you can chase after her again.”
“But I have to say, someone like you should find a clever girl suited for family life. With Lili’s personality, dating is fine, but settling down with her would be nothing short of spoiling both of you, wouldn’t it?”
Really, he had never been the third wheel in his life, such a disgrace!
Lili: …
However, Wu Lei bowed his head, refusing to even look at him, simply sniffling fiercely:
“Lili doesn’t want me anymore…”
The eyes of the onlookers turned to Lili again, causing her cheeks to flush red, and she finally glared at Wu Lei fiercely:
“What grudge do we have? Why do you have to harm me like this! I’ll have you know, even if I don’t get married, I would never be with someone like you!”
“Then don’t!” The new boyfriend glanced at her:
“When we were talking, you said you broke up with your boyfriend because his family didn’t approve. You just wanted a beautiful romantic relationship to regain your confidence… You never said I had to be the other man!”
“Hurry up, pack up the stuff I gave you and bring it here! I’ve already been the third wheel, I can’t let you take advantage of me, can I?”
Lili’s expression froze.
He had told her they were just talking and weren’t serious, and she had also behaved as if she was weak and insecure… So when he gave her gifts, he was quite generous.
Not to mention all the trinkets, brand-name bags, mobile phones, computers, there was also a new camera–she had been using the phone for half a month already!
But he was not as easy to fool as Wu Lei. At this moment, he stood there, his eyes coldly fixed on her:
“I don’t care about the small things, but you go upstairs now, pack those things, and return them to me in half an hour. Otherwise, tomorrow I’ll spend two thousand to hire trolls to flood your live streaming room.”
He was really capable of doing it!
Although the live streaming room wasn’t a huge source of income, it was Lili’s only way of making money–for a breakup, losing her job was out of the question!
At this moment, she could only grit her teeth and run upstairs.
Wu Lei had already finished half of the watermelon, and the deep sorrow he felt just earlier seemed soothed by the sweet juice of the watermelon. It felt as if his heart wasn’t so heavy anymore.
Looking at the watermelon in the other guy’s hand, he turned his head to wipe his face on his sleeve, then said in a muffled voice:
“I know it’s not your fault. Lili just doesn’t want me anymore–so, do you still want the watermelon?”
“I…”
Before the new boyfriend could reply, a nearby aunty who was watching the commotion eagerly chimed in, “Yes, eat! Eat!”
Then she turned her gaze to him, “Young man, if you’re not going to eat it, can you break off a piece for my grandson? I can tell this watermelon is very sweet, the child is drooling for it.”
Ah, this.
The new boyfriend hesitated for a moment, watching the child swallowing saliva non-stop, then he broke off a small piece from the irregular edges of the watermelon and handed it over.
It was as though the floodgates had opened, and in an instant, all the uncles and aunties with children closed in:
“Give me a bite…”
“…A bite for my granddaughter…”
Though they say children shouldn’t just eat anything, but out in the open, with the watermelon broken by hand, how could there be a problem?
There were so many people, after all!
So, after a flurry of excitement, the new boyfriend was left with only a watermelon piece smaller than his palm.
Seeing the hopeful eyes of the surrounding children, he didn’t say a word before he bit into the bright red flesh.
Sweet!
Refreshing!
In an instant, an unprecedented flavor flooded his throat, causing his eyes to bulge. Then he gave Wu Lei a thumbs up:
“Bro, with melon skills like that, are you still worried about not having money or a house? Come on, add me on WeChat, I’ll look for you to buy melons later.”
No wonder this silly boy priced them at 20 a kilo–definitely worth it.
Ah?
Wu Lei was looking bewilderedly at the bag of tea eggs–can’t really keep them overnight in this heat.
And while he felt a lump in his throat that made the eggs hard to swallow, the unexpected offer left him agape.
Raising his head instinctively, he said in confusion, “I’m not selling the watermelons; they’re from my relative’s place, and they’re all sold out.”
Hearing this, the onlooking crowd collectively sighed in disappointment.
And the aunt who had earlier asked for watermelon looked over, now eyeing the bag of tea eggs in his hand:
“Then how about you let us have an egg to eat? They do smell quite fragrant.”
Wu Lei: …
The eggs were from his own chickens, not worth much money, but the spice mix was a gift from Song Tan. Since he couldn’t eat them, he might as well open the bag:
“Help yourself.”
Well, no sooner had he said this, than the eager old men and women nearby moved forward, and the seven or eight marinated eggs vanished in an instant, bag and all.
And many in the crowd had already started peeling the eggshells, filling the air with an increasingly strong aroma of spices.
This guy was a hidden gem!
The new boyfriend, still hung up on the earlier watermelon while regretting his own generosity, looked at Wu Lei, who seemed honest and simple. He squatted down to him and said, “So what else did you bring from home that you can’t eat? I, um, I mean…”
This was his first time demeaning himself in such a way, and his face showed he was uncomfortable with it.
But Wu Lei didn’t respond; instead, he simply passed his bag over: “Here, take the pumpkin, and the dried little fish too. Lili doesn’t want me, and I can’t lose my job again. I’m going home.”
“No rush, no rush!”
The other man held him back: “You’re so young, how much can you earn in the village? Better stay here, I’ll refer you to a job that can easily earn you five thousand a month.”
Their relationship was already awkward, but he did feel responsible for taking so much from Wu Lei.
However, Wu Lei shook his head:
“I don’t need it. What good is more salary? The things from my aunt’s place are much tastier.”
He had stolen a watermelon from home and scooped out all the remaining eggs from the pot; he had even cut such a large piece of pumpkin–
Normally, everything at home was eaten sparingly, but now…
At this moment, Wu Lei seemed to have grown up.
He decided to go home and accept his fate; he couldn’t let go of Song Tan’s support.
However, as soon as he lifted his foot, he looked back at the other man with a mix of embarrassment and pleading:
“I’ve only got thirty-eight left, could you lend me some money for a bus ticket?”
The other man: …
After a pause, the new boyfriend suddenly burst out laughing:
“No problem at all! Why talk of lending, I’m the one who wronged you, so come on, let’s add each other on WeChat, and I’ll do the transfer–hey, by the way, where are you going? I’ll buy your ticket!”
