"You’re going to carry it?" Ni Yang glanced up and down at him, "Can you handle it?"
Xiaozhou, speechless, replied, "If I can’t handle it, do you think you can? After all, I am a man!"
Ni Yang shrugged slightly, not wanting to crush his spirit, "Then you try."
Xiaozhou walked up to the carrying basket, slipped the straps over his shoulders, but no matter what, he couldn’t straighten his back!
Damn!
It was way too heavy!
Having been born into wealth and never having done manual labor, it was normal for Xiaozhou to struggle. Ni Yang had expected this, which is why she had stepped in ahead of Xiaozhou, ready to take over the load.
Clamping his teeth tightly, Xiaozhou’s face turned red, but he still couldn’t lift the basket.
"Let me do it," Ni Yang approached Xiaozhou, shading him from the sun.
"No need," Xiaozhou shook his head, "I can do it!"
He was a man!
He couldn’t lose face in front of a girl!
He could do it!
Xiaozhou psyched himself up internally.
Ni Yang, with a smile, said, "Let me do it. We’re all brothers here, and I won’t laugh at you!"
Xiaozhou: "..." You’re already laughing.
"If I can’t carry it, do you think you can?" Xiaozhou looked up at Ni Yang.
Ni Yang’s expression remained the same, "Let me try, and then we’ll know."
Xiaozhou stepped aside, curious to see whether Ni Yang really could carry it or not.
Ni Yang squatted down, effortlessly lifted the basket, and glanced back at Xiaozhou, "Let’s go."
Xiaozhou stood there, stunned.
Damn!
That was incredible!
If he hadn’t tried it himself, he would have thought the basket wasn’t heavy at all.
