Chapter 295 - 302: Competition
The fruit section was less congested than the seafood area, but if you wanted to get the good stuff, you had to be quick. After all, fruit doesn’t taste as good after sitting out for a while, and the pieces at the bottom were less fresh from being pressed down. So, it was best to wait for fresh fruit to be brought out and immediately grab a bunch.
The trio arrived, and Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning didn’t even have plates in their hands; they just pointed at the fruits they wanted. Li Yifei, on the other hand, held a tray in one hand and piled on selections for them with the other. In no time at all, their pile reached a height of more than ten centimeters, and it looked quite impressive.
There was a couple picking out fruit at that moment, and the boy held a plate that was piled just as high, yet his hand was steady, and he looked completely at ease as he said, "What else would you like to eat? Let’s grab some more."
The girl had thought they had enough, but when she saw how high Li Yifei had stacked his fruit, she suddenly became interested and said, "Let’s get this one, and that one..."
The boy quickly placed the fruit his girlfriend had pointed out onto his plate. The stack on their plate was soon to surpass the one that Li Yifei had.
The girl was visibly excited and loudly bragged, "You’re really amazing; your skill is unmatched by anyone." She was clearly saying this for Li Yifei and his friends to hear.
Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning hadn’t originally noticed the couple, but the girl’s loud remark drew their attention. With the competitive streak that often comes unreasonably among girls, they felt provoked by the girl’s showing off. Song Xiaoli said to Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, someone’s looking down on you. Can you outdo him?"
Hanging out with these two girls, Li Yifei felt much younger and couldn’t help getting into a playful mood. He chuckled, "Let’s try." As he spoke, he added more fruit to the top, which quickly grew taller than the stack that the other boy had made.
"Dear, let’s get more."
The girl had been keeping her eyes on Li Yifei’s plate, and at this point, she eagerly urged her boyfriend on.
