Besides, she was a girl.
Why not ask her family or friends to come along?
"Yeah."
The girl nodded. "One each."
That answer...
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
It was almost as good as no answer at all.
"Why not ask the other two to come with you?"
Xiao Xiao asked outright.
Huh?
The girl froze.
The other two?
Come along?
"It'll be tiring to carry three watermelons home by yourself."
Xiao Xiao didn't think that needed explaining.
The girl smiled.
"It's fine."
"I've carried three watermelons home by myself before."
"Though it was really tiring..."
Especially her hands. The plastic bags had left deep red marks on them.
The next morning, her whole arm had been sore when she woke up.
It took several days to recover.
"But I did manage to get them home."
So the girl wasn't too worried about carrying three watermelons home by herself.
Even if it would be tiring.
Seeing how confident the girl looked, Xiao Xiao said nothing more.
Since this wasn't the first time she'd carried three watermelons home by herself, she could be said to have some experience. That put him at ease.
"Okay."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"As long as you know what you're getting into."
The girl jokingly struck a bodybuilder's pose.
"Don't worry."
"I'm really strong."
After saying that, the girl couldn't help bursting into laughter herself.
A hint of amusement flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
"Mm."
"You're very impressive."
The girl felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
She wasn't that impressive...
Ahem.
Still...
Being praised made her happy.
The disappointment she felt over not finding the third watermelon eased a little.
To hide the smile she couldn't quite suppress, the girl turned her head.
