Chapter 60
Nathan somehow found a floor mat as he came over and sat on it, holding a slice of watermelon in each
hand. Next to him was half a watermelon wrapped in a stic wrap that Sophia had selected herself on
the previous day.
The watermelon looked fresh and sweet, and she could imagine it being as cold as a smoothie, melting
right in her mouth when she bit into it; just the mere imagination of it had Sophia almost drooling as she
looked at him.
Apany was doingps and when they passed by Nathan, everyone looked over as the drill instructor
waved his belt and said, “Look at you. You look as if you’re as hungry as a bear!”
Although Sophia’s leg was injured, she performed really well. She was a quick learner and excelled in
every formation, so halfway through the training, Commander Ford gave her a break.
Sophia ran toward Nathan speedily and she snatched over a piece of watermelon before she started
eating like a horse.
All eyes on the training field were on her and her watermelon, and the watermelon had never looked so
appealing and delicious.
It was ten thirty in the morning and the students who had trained all morning finally got a twenty minutes
break. All of them flocked to the huge umbre that was set up by their respective seniors and teachers
to hide from the sun, and drank water.
Company 45 to Company 50 belonged to the Second Battalion, and the students from the Second
Battalion were all from the School of Economics and Business Administration, which was led by Quinton
rk.
The troop ran toward Quinton for water, as he had prepared arge container of ice water in advance. In
that moment, every single one of them—regardless of whether they came from rich or poor families—
downed the water; they never realized that a small bottle of water could taste so nice.
Everyone was resting under the shade, drinking water and fanning themselves. After quenching their
thirst, they looked at Sophia and Nathan eagerly who was eating the watermelon; they really wanted the
watermelon themselves, but they were afraid to ask because they were shy, and they felt their
rtionship with Sophia wasn’t that close.
The look of the two eating watermelons attracted a lot of attention.
Finally, someone built up the courage to ask Sophia for a piece of watermelon.
Richard was in his military uniform just like everyone else as he walked over slowly. He majored in
financial management, and he was the leader of the School of Financial Management. However, he was
always in the School of Cinematography because Ka and X were from there.
At that moment, Richard brought along X and Ka to ask Sophia if they could have some
watermelon.
“Sophia, can you share some of your watermelon with us?” Richard sounded sincere, but the words
seemed to carry a hint of arrogance, as if he was doing Sophia a charity.
Not only had he trained with everyone for the entire morning, but he also had to look after the two
‘princesses’. Hence, the expression on his handsome face was reced with sullenness, and the edges
of his sharp jawline were covered with ayer of sweat droplets.
He felt extremely ufortable at the moment. He was too embarrassed to ask, but he really wanted to
have a piece of the watermelon.
Sophia would definitely be willing to share it with him.
At that moment, everyone was watching them from the side, guessing if Sophia would give him a piece
of her watermelon.
After all, they thought Sophia loved Richard deeply. Someone probably spread the rumor intentionally, so
the love triangle between Sophia, Richard and X had be everyone’s gossip in school.
The most widely circted version of the story was no more than something along the lines of the
commoner Cindere who fell in love with the noble Prince, but they were forced to be separated
because of her status. Although the Prince had already found his Princess, his love toward Cindere
remained. However, Cindere, who was abandoned, began to take revenge angrily, and she had
thought of everything to get her sweet vengeance on the Prince. Nevertheless, she couldn’t let go of her
love toward the Prince, so she constantly wanted to draw his attention.
This was the perfect timing for Cindere to impress the Prince! Would Cindere grab the chance?
Nathan thought Sophia would agree, so he grabbed hold of his watermelon tightly, as he was determined
to not let Sophia give it to the others.
Sophia elegantly revealed a smile in front of everyone, and said, “I’m sorry. This is not my watermelon.
You may ask the handsome boy here. It’s all his.”
Richard felt the kindness in Sophia’s smile and his heart softened. He knew she was his girl; no matter
how far he went, she would always wait for him and she wouldn’t let him suffer.
X felt greatly irritated when she looked at the way Richard spoke to Sophia, but she wanted to eat the
watermelon more than anything. Sophia is so much in love with Richard, so she will definitely share a
piece of watermelon with us. A piece of watermelon doesn’t mean anything!
Ka thought the same too. Although she thought asking a piece of watermelon from Sophia was very
embarrassing, she was extremely thirsty at that moment. She no longer wanted any ice water; she just
wanted to eat the watermelon.
Richard was already bending over and asking Nathan sincerely, “Hi, I wanted to…”
“What do you want? Don’t even think about it!” Nathan ‘protected’ the watermelon in his arms cautiously
and rejected him with a re.
Richard cracked a smile, licking his chapped lips and feeling impatient, but he remained elegant and
polite on the outside.
Somehow, the boy was able to get hold of the watermelon. Their personal belongings were all
confiscated when they entered the barracks, and it was even more impossible to send something in. It
was probably because this boy was the youngest student in that year to join the military, so the barracks
gave him special care. The piece of watermelon in his hands had be the centre of attention, and in
order to get a piece of it, Richard had to pretend to smile. “Boy, I have many fun things to y with. Why
don’t we trade?”
He presented a watch, which was a Vacheron Constantin limited edition men’s watch that was worth a
house in a third-tier city. “Look, with this watch, I can trade a lot of watermelons. How about I use it to
trade with yours?”
The others thought this kid would definitely agree if he could recognize the goods.
This kid probably came from an ordinary family. Bayside University asionally would take in geniuses
to join the Junior ss. If this kid was a member of the aristocracy, his name would be known among the
aristocrats by now, but Richard had never heard of him, so he was probably only a genius kid with an
ordinary background, and he would definitely trade for his watch.
However, Nathan nced at the watch and he was unaffected as he gave a sharp and decisive reply.
“Not trading.”This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
In order to express his determination for not trading his watermelon, he tore off the stic wrap from the
last piece of watermelon and took a giant bite. His face was all covered in watermelon juice.
Sophiaughed as she helped him to wipe off the watermelon juice from his face. “Don’t eat too much.
You will get diarrhea.”
Richard’s facial muscles twitched as he smiled awkwardly, then he walked back dejectedly. Although he
still walked like a gentleman as usual, there was obvious embarrassment written on his face.
Ka, who was not far away, was so annoyed that she almost stomped her feet. “That d*mn little kid! He
couldn’t even recognize Vacheron Constantin! Which vige did hee from?!”
X red at Sophia and left.
I actually let Richard and Sophia talk to each other over a piece of watermelon?! What a massive joke!
Thosemoners who don’t even know chalk from cheese!
Richard was forced to give in and he was extremely humiliated as he walked away from everyone’s gaze
with a sullen face.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard someone screaming excitedly from behind when he had only taken a
few steps. “Students from the Second Battalion, Sophia from Company 49 is giving everyone free
watermelon!”
