'Cold? How much colder could it be down there? Colder than the wide-open outdoors?' After glancing at the still-drawn window curtain, Xu Changqing immediately followed him.
"Why'd you come down?"
"I'm faster than you."
"Right, my girl is amazing." He watched, amused, as the burlap sack he pointed at vanished with a touch of her small hand. But...
'Can you not just flick your finger like that? That's too many watermelons. Just having two watermelons at our engagement party already made people think I, Shen Weimin, was quite capable. Any more than that?'
'We won't be able to finish them all.'
"We can keep them and eat them slowly. This basement is the perfect excuse. Later, if it's too difficult to get the watermelons to your uncle's place, we can just send some cucumbers and radishes for Grandpa and Grandma to try."
