Chapter 5105 Whose Watermelon
"...the kind person who helped me pick up the second watermelon."
Girls are very sharp-tongued.
"Now he is also helping me find the last remaining watermelon out of kindness."
"Let's find it all the way back along the path I took before."
"He found the watermelon."
……
"That's where I bought the watermelon."
Seeing that the old man still looked dubious, the girl turned her head and raised her chin and pointed at the fruit shop that was partially exposed some distance away.
"If you don't believe me, you can go over and ask the owner of the fruit shop."
"I bought three watermelons."
"It happened not long ago again."
"The boss should still remember me."
"...He also persuaded me and said that it is not easy for me as a girl to hold three watermelons..."
"I said it's okay."
"I have brought three watermelons home at once before."
"I can do it."
At that time, she had a good impression of the fruit shop owner.
Didn't expect...
“I didn’t expect that the plastic bags given by the boss to hold watermelons were of such poor quality...”
The girl couldn't help but complain as she spoke. This incident really made her angry.
He was so concerned about her a moment ago that he changed hands and gave her a torn bag.
"The bag broke halfway..."
"The watermelons are all rolling out."
"I..."
The girl swallowed the uncivilized words that followed.
She pursed her lips.
"If it weren't for this kind-hearted boy..."
"I can only pick up one watermelon."
……
There was a trace of confusion on the old man's face.
The girl told the truth.
He stared into the girl's eyes.
The girl's eyes didn't dodge at all.
……
"...Then you are not sure that this watermelon is yours, right?"
The old man thought for a while and said.
……
"Yes."
The girl readily admitted this.
"That's what I thought of just now..."
Only then did he hesitate.
That's why the old man misunderstood.
……
"Old man, is this your watermelon?"
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows slightly arched, "Or do you know who the owner of this watermelon is?"
……
The old man shook his head.
Nod again.
"This is not my watermelon."
"I did see who put the watermelon here before."
……
"Really?!"
The girl was surprised.
This watermelon…..
Is it really not her watermelon?
……
The old man nodded again.
"At that time, I was sweeping the floor there..."
The old man pointed at the location.
Just opposite this bush.
So, he saw it clearly.
A skinny boy put the watermelon into the bushes.
If it hadn't taken him some time to get there, he would have really wanted to ask that boy...
Why put watermelons on bushes?
Does this mean you lost the watermelon?
That's not right.
If you really want to lose it...
There is a trash can next to it.
Wouldn't it be more convenient to just throw the watermelon into the trash can?
……
"...I don't know what he thinks?"
The old man shook his head.
A look of incomprehension.
"Does he want this watermelon?"
"Still don't want it?"
……
"Of course it is necessary."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
……
ah?
The old man looked at Xiao Xiao.
Looked confused.
"How do you know?"
If you want, just a watermelon.
Why not take it away?
If there is really any reason why it is inconvenient to carry it, why buy it?
Or did something unexpected happen after buying it?
The old man thought of many reasons for that boy.
……
“It’s a pity that I didn’t buy the watermelon myself.”
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
….
"?!"
The old man was stunned.
"How do you know?"
The old man asked again.
This kid isn't just talking nonsense just to get this watermelon, right?
……
"I guessed."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, confidently.
……
Old man:......
……
"Oh!"
An idea flashed in the girl's mind.
"Did he pick up this watermelon and want to embezzle it himself, but he was worried about running into the owner of the watermelon..."
"Just hide the watermelon in the bushes for now."
"Planning to come back later to get it?!" The more the girl said it, the more she felt that her guess was right.
The girl's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
……
"Really!?"
The girl looked at Xiao Xiao.
Does this boy mean the same thing?
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He nodded.
That's right.
This is also his guess.
……
The old man's mouth opened slightly.
Don't say...
This conjecture the girl said...
It's not impossible.
But...
"Everything is your guess."
The old man shook his head.
"You have no evidence at all to prove that what you said is right."
……
"We can wait for him to come over!"
The girl blurted out, "Confront me!"
……
The old man was stunned.
Such a confident performance by a girl...
The balance in his heart was shaken.
Could it be...
Are these two kids right?
That skinny boy is not the owner of this watermelon.
But...
It can't be said that he is a thief.
It can only be said to be one......
Those who are greedy, those who do not want to make money, and those who are not of good quality...
……
The old man was silent.
He hesitated.
….
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"I have proof."
……
ah?
Not only the old man, but also the girls looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise.
evidence?
What evidence?
……
"Look."
Xiao Xiao's fingers seemed to move randomly.
The watermelon in his hand moved slightly.
……
After a few seconds, Watermelon stopped.
Exposed...
….
After being stunned for a second, the girl opened her eyes wide.
"This is it!?"
……
What?
The old man looked at the girl.
He looked at the watermelon again.
……
"Tag above!"
The girl cried out.
……
Only then did the old man understand what the boy wanted him to see...
It turned out to be a label on the watermelon.
……
The girl leaned over to look at the patterns and words on the label.
"...Exactly the same."
The girl murmured.
She looked down at the watermelon in her arms.
He also slowly rolled his own watermelon.
……
"Ah."
The girl whispered.
Saw it!
……
A girl compares the labels of three watermelons.
"...They are all really the same..."
……
The girl looked at Xiao Xiao with bright eyes.
"They are all the same brand of watermelon!"
……
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
……
"Let me see."
The old man's nose almost touched the watermelon.
He looked carefully at the labels on the three watermelons.
……
Um.
The old man took a step back.
Exactly the same.
But...
……
"It could also be a coincidence."
……
The old man suddenly raised his eyes.
That's what he had in mind.
Maybe you bought the fruit in a fruit shop.
After all, there is only one fruit shop closest to here.
So, it is normal to buy watermelons with the same label.
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Although it is impossible to be absolutely sure, this is a possibility that can confirm that this watermelon is indeed ours."
……
The old man nodded slowly.
That's right.
If he hadn't seen the skinny boy put the watermelon in the bush...
He must have believed that the two men in front of him were the real owners of the watermelon hidden in the bushes.
