Chapter 1486: Low-Sugar Melon

That was really asking for trouble!

But everyone had been hearing things like this for more than a day or two. Since this livestream started, they hadn't been able to buy much of anything, and now they were feeling a bit resigned.

【Mm-hmm, no bones left.】

【Mm-hmm, your iron mouth.】

【Mm-hmm, May watermelons, you find a red one first before you talk.】

Xiao Yang:...

He shouted loudly: "Qiao Qiao, they're looking down on me! They say I can't find a red watermelon!"

"Ah?" Qiao Qiao was shocked: "Discriminating against others is bad, children!"

Children:... Who exactly is being discriminated against?

Just as they were talking, Song Tan and Lu Chuan arrived. Xiao Yang's spirit lifted: "Sister! Let me discuss something with you!"

He propped his phone up in the field and ran over to Song Tan: "Can you sell me a watermelon separately in a bit? The kind where I have to pay."

Song Tan was curious: "If you want to eat one, just eat it. Why do you need to buy one? Are you sending it to your parents?"

Xiao Yang quickly shook his head: "Sister, you don't understand. I'm a grown man; if I can't win a steamed bun, I'll at least win some dignity!"

Mm, a grown man in his teens.

Song Tan nodded: "Sure! Early spring melon, friend price: 200 yuan. Just transfer the money."

Xiao Yang didn't care about the money at all. He happily transferred the funds and then charged back into the field. Through the fence, Song Tan could hear him howling: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a youth for being poor!"

"You look down on me today, later I'll curse you so you don't win a watermelon in the giveaway!"

After saying that, he leaned in to check the camera angle, stepped back two steps, and said again: "After we finish picking the watermelons, we'll take one for a giveaway today! The rules are the same as Qiao Qiao's before! The first message in the chat after the screenshot wins."

He put his hands on his hips, looking smug: "Hmph!"

The livestream chat instantly surrendered:

【I see the aura of an emperor in Xiao Yang; this watermelon will be the reward for my iron-mouthed prediction.】

【Oppose feudal superstition! Wishing upon the Koi Immortal! Please grant me a watermelon!】

【Who understands? I'm at the temple right now, let me talk to the God of Wealth about the prize details first.】

【Hmph! Isn't it just a watermelon? To be honest, I'm a cursed player, please, it's time for my luck to turn!】

【I, the lucky one, will wait silently without a word...】

【You guys are chatting quite happily, but can you actually pick a watermelon?】

To be fair, it was actually quite difficult.

The temperature had only just risen by May Day, and the greenhouses had only been taken down recently; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to supply this batch of early melons.

But even so, it was still a bit early.

Otherwise, Song Tan wouldn't have let them pick them slowly—finding a vine with a ripe melon in this weather where grass grows and warblers fly wasn't easy!

Lu Chuan also walked in.

Interplanted in the melon field were small tea seedlings that had only just been transplanted. They were only about 10 to 20 centimeters tall, and wrapped in the thick, lush melon vines, they were surprisingly hard to find, which added another layer of difficulty for everyone picking watermelons.

However, in the countryside, where there's no social life, the most abundant thing is time. Therefore, none of the four were in a hurry. They simply looked at ones that were roughly the same size and went to investigate. Before long, under the noisy directions of the netizens in the chat, Qiao Qiao actually picked one.

"This one seems ripe."

Having sold melons once last year, Qiao Qiao had become a little expert at picking them. He gently tapped the melon skin with his fingertips, terrified that if he used too much force, he would crack the thin-skinned little watermelon.

Xiao Yang looked at the livestream, and the chat area was rampant:

【Look! I said the fourth one in the third row on the left, look, Qiao Qiao picked it.】

【The one in the top left corner of the screen is also quite big, Qiao Qiao, go pick that one.】

【The one right in the middle isn't big, but I feel like it's ripe...】

There were serious ones and silly ones. Everyone was giving directions, and not a single melon on the screen was left unpointed at. Some were even more outrageous, pointing at raw melon eggs the size of fists.

Qiao Qiao never looked at those. He quickly carried the little melon to Song Tan's side: "Sister, for you to eat!"

Lu Chuan leaned over to look—it was really small, weighing at most about four jin.

"Is it ripe?" He wasn't very good at picking them.

To be precise, he had learned a little theoretical knowledge last year, but that was for melons that ripened naturally. These early melons hadn't reached their time yet, so they could only be considered hard-picked.

Qiao Qiao said proudly: "I picked it with Yang Zhengxin; it looks just like a ripe one."

Song Tan took a closer look and couldn't help but laugh: This melon was truly wronged by its appearance.

She waved her hand: "Alright then, since you two picked it, you two are responsible for eating it."

Lu Chuan withdrew his hand upon hearing this, looking completely unconcerned. He was already a mature adult and didn't like to fight with children for food.

Qiao Qiao, however, didn't know the dangers of the world. He leaned in toward the livestream camera with Yang Zhengxin. Yang Zhengxin clenched his fist and gestured: "Here it comes, it's really coming."

He mischievously lowered the watermelon slightly below the camera. A fist smashed down, looking as if it were hitting the viewers in the face. Accompanied by a clear "crack," the chat exploded.

【Why does that sound so crisp?】

Qiao Qiao lifted his palm, and standing in front of the camera was a green, thin-skinned, pink-fleshed little watermelon.

It was so pink and tender, like the wild peach blossoms of early spring. It made everyone feel bad about eating it.

Everyone:...

【Hahahahahaha】

【Hahahahahaha I didn't mean it hahaha】

【Oh my, this must be a new variety of pink watermelon! Xiao Yang, open your bloody mouth and make it have no bones left.】

【Xiao Yang is so young, I shouldn't be petty with him at my age, this melon should be for the child.】

【Come on, Xiao Yang, don't be polite! Eat big bites, eat it right in front of us.】

【Qiao Qiao, guests eat first, you aren't allowed to fight him for it.】

Xiao Yang: "...? _?"

His punch had indeed smashed the watermelon into several pieces. Regardless of how many pieces or how pink and tender the flesh was, he had to eat it! Having lost so much face in the livestream, he simply let go:

"Hmph! You guys are just jealous!"

"So what if it isn't ripe? Isn't this pink watermelon better looking than the big red ones?"

"Besides, you guys can't smell it, right? You have no idea how fragrant this watermelon is."

"Even if it isn't sweet enough, the melon flavor is incredibly rich."

"Come on!" He signaled for Qiao Qiao to adjust the camera: "I'll perform 【One Melon in Three Bites】 for everyone."

After saying that, he really opened his bloody mouth and took a huge bite out of the watermelon in his hand.

The sound of the crisp melon juice seemed to splash into the hearts of everyone in the livestream. Everyone was already drooling ungracefully:

【I told you, you have to eat something while watching the livestream, otherwise you get so hungry that even looking at a pink watermelon makes you drool.】

【I've been tired all morning and my mouth is dry, now staring at the watermelon, I suddenly feel like pink is also good.】

"Just... a rich melon flavor but low sugar? Isn't this exactly what we sisters who are controlling sugar and losing weight need?" ===== CHAPTER 1487 =====
