Just two more positive reviews are needed to complete Task Four.
While waiting for the restaurant to prepare the food, Lin Li walked to the door and looked at a small truck parked not far away.
The truck was loaded with watermelons, and a vendor was sitting in the shadow of the vehicle, watching passersby expectantly.
In rural towns, this kind of roadside selling is still quite common. It’s pretty much direct selling by farmers without any middlemen, making the price exceptionally cheap.
"Watermelons, two yuan for three catties, if they’re not ripe, they’re free! Watermelons, two yuan for three catties, if they’re not ripe, they’re free..." The loudspeaker hanging on the truck kept broadcasting.
This price is indeed much cheaper than fruit shops and supermarkets.
After delivering orders for so long, Lin Li was indeed a bit thirsty, so he rode his electric bike over.
Wait a minute, this boss...
"Uncle, do you remember me?" Lin Li said in surprise as he approached on his electric bike.
"Huh? Who are you?" The vendor was excited to see a customer but was puzzled after hearing Lin Li’s voice.
He stared at Lin Li’s face for a long time, but still couldn’t remember knowing such a young person, so he shook his head and said, "I don’t know you."
"True, we are not acquainted, Uncle, I’ll just take these two watermelons then." Lin Li nodded, satisfied, and patted the two big watermelons, preparing to leave.
There really are many strange and good-natured people in this world.
Especially those who provide warmth to strangers.
Vendor: "?"
"Hey, you get back here!"
...
"It’s ’if the watermelons aren’t ripe, they’re free,’ not ’if we’re not acquainted, they’re free!’" Lin Li didn’t really intend to run. The vendor easily stopped him and added through gritted teeth.
"Then Uncle, could you pick out two unripe ones for me? I don’t want the ripe ones." Lin Li nodded calmly upon hearing this.
Vendor: "?"
Today, do you really want to get a free watermelon?
"Go, go, don’t disturb my business, just play somewhere else."
It seemed he couldn’t make a getaway with a free watermelon, so Lin Li obediently bought half a watermelon. Who says seedless watermelons are no good? Seedless ones are the best.
Watermelons are only enjoyable when dug into, especially the first bite from the center, ideally chilled. So Lin Li asked the vendor to wrap it up with plastic wrap and placed it in the cooler box, planning to enjoy it after completing his task.
"Lin Li, is that really you? What are you doing here?" Beside the truck, Chen Yu Ying said with slight surprise.
"Class Monitor? What are you doing here?" Lin Li reflexively used the elementary school skill—bounce back.
"Of course, I’m heading to school, but my dad had some matters at the post office. I just heard your voice and came over to look, and it really is you." Chen Yu Ying explained.
Indeed, Chen Yu Ying was wearing her slightly adjusted school uniform, not as stunning as the little blue dress.
The casual clothes version seemed to be something he wouldn’t see again for a long time.
"Are you going to school this early?" It was only just past three in the afternoon, and evening self-study didn’t start until six, so Lin Li asked.
Lin Li generally went right on time.
"Yeah, I usually go pretty early." Chen Yu Ying nodded.
"I see. As for me, I’m delivering food." Before Chen Yu Ying could ask more, Lin Li rode his electric bike to her side and patted his trunk.
"Delivering food? Why are you delivering food?" Chen Yu Ying’s curiosity was undiminished.
"It’s nothing, just that I..." Lin Li used his habitual excuse again to explain.
"Really, you’re even interested in this kind of thing?" Chen Yu Ying nodded suddenly in realization and then asked curiously, "Is delivering food fun?"
Lin Li recalled the chicken steak from Bao Wei the other day, looked at Chen Yu Ying in front of him, and nodded, "It’s quite interesting, there are often unexpected gains and surprises."
Chen Yu Ying lowered her head slightly, not locking eyes with Lin Li for long, and lightly nodded, "Oh, oh."
If Chen Yu Ying knew that Lin Li had his mind full of chicken steak and Zhou Baowei, she probably wouldn’t react this way.
Suddenly, Lin Li remembered something, slapped his forehead, opened the cooler box, and took out the milk tea he had once handed to Yangliang: "Class Monitor, do you want this milk tea? Here you go."
"Ah, why are you giving it to me? Didn’t you buy it for yourself?" Chen Yu Ying, having seen it opened before, thought it was bought by Lin Li himself and asked curiously.
"I didn’t buy it; it was given by an admirer." Lin Li shook his head and explained.
Chen Yu Ying: "?"
Chen Yu Ying blinked her pretty eyes once and then again, looking at the milk tea, she asked, "Lin Li, is there a girl pursuing you?"
"Misunderstanding, Class Monitor, it’s not my admirer. Here, look at the receipt on the note, and you’ll know." Lin Li chuckled and handed over a receipt.
Chen Yu Ying took it and saw the note on it said:
"If the call isn’t answered or she doesn’t want it, the rider should drink it themselves. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Chen Yu Ying: "..."
So that’s the kind of admirer she was.
Indeed, it was given by an admirer.
"I don’t really like milk tea, I feel it’s a bit sticky and doesn’t quench thirst. I’m a fan of refreshing fruit tea, so if you don’t mind, Class Monitor, take it and drink it. I have no use for it." Lin Li then explained.
This was also why Lin Li handed it directly to Yangliang before.
"Alright then, I’ll treat you to fruit tea next time to make up for it." Chen Yu Ying thought for a moment and didn’t refuse, taking the secondhand milk tea from the admirer.
"Sure." Lin Li nodded.
The phone had already reminded him that he could pick up the order. Lin Li was about to say goodbye when a loud honk came from behind.
He turned his head to see a car stopped behind him, with the owner impatiently honking at Lin Li for blocking the road.
Actually, the owner was the problem, as Lin Li was riding on the non-motorized lane. However, in small towns, this wasn’t strictly regulated—as evidenced by the watermelon truck parked there. With Chen Yu Ying around, Lin Li didn’t bother quarreling with the driver and smoothly drifted uphill to get out of the way.
As he watched the car owner leave, Lin Li snorted coldly: "I’ll remember today’s humiliation, don’t underestimate the young and poor. When I make it big, I’ll definitely equip my electric bike with a super loud horn, and we’ll see who can out-honk whom!"
Chen Yu Ying chuckled: "Lin Li, can’t you dream a bit bigger? Can’t you aim to have a car yourself?"
"Well, isn’t it because I don’t have a driver’s license yet? I need to be realistic." Lin Li explained.
"You sure are pragmatic, but Lin Li, you’re already riding an electric bike. That’s impressive." Chen Yu Ying praised.
"Our Xiling doesn’t strictly require an electric bike license yet. If you mention an electric bike license, I don’t have one either, but without enforcement, you can ride it however. If you can ride a bicycle, you can ride an electric bike."
With that tone, expression, and admiring small eyes from Chen Yu Ying, her praise made Lin Li feel quite flattered and somewhat bashful.
[After studying and mimicking Chen Yu Ying’s operation inside the Mecha, you finally, through your own means, attempted and successfully took control of a Mecha. This world will begin to be amazed by you.

This is your golden opportunity to showcase your talents, establish yourself firmly in this world, and achieve deep emotional ties!]
[Task Triggered!]
[Task Two: Share and teach Chen Yu Ying your insights on piloting a Mecha, enrich her related knowledge, and enhance her piloting abilities.]
