School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 587: Chapter 659: Amazing!

Mud clods were dug up and the water began to turn murky.

It took Chen Nan only a few minutes to dig out this three-segment white lotus root.

”Wow, it’s huge, you fool, you’re so amazing!”

On the shore, Su Qingqing jumped up excitedly, her face full of eagerness.

”Stop jumping around, you, don’t fall in,” Chen Nan said with a wry smile, cleaning the three segments of lotus root before tossing them towards the shore.

Su Qingqing grabbed the lotus root, took a bite, and laughed heartily, exclaiming how delicious it was.

As a result of her cries of surprise, other classmates from their class also heard the commotion, and a dozen or so boys and girls ran over.

When they saw Chen Nan standing in the lotus pond, with Su Qingqing holding and eating the lotus root, the surrounding classmates were dumbfounded.

Such an outstanding cousin indeed!

The girls watching by the lakeside, looking at Su Qingqing, suddenly filled their eyes with envy and jealousy. They thought to themselves, what a good cousin she had, why couldn’t they be as lucky as her?

Dating in senior year of high school was no longer a rare occurrence, and influenced by this, several girls began to order their boyfriends to jump in and dig out lotus roots for them to eat, leaving the boys with furrowed brows and moods of deep frustration.

”Xiao Li, may I not jump in?”

”If you don’t jump in, I’m breaking up with you!”

”It’s just a lotus root, do you have to be so serious?”

”Hmph, look how good her cousin is, you’re my boyfriend yet you can’t even compare to her cousin! I think you don’t even care about me in your heart.”

”I... It’s just that I’ve never dug it before, I don’t know where to begin.”

”I don’t care, you figure it out yourself.”

”Splash...”

The boy clenched his teeth, rolled up his pant legs, and jumped in.

Watching the boys, one by one, jump into the water and blindly fumbling around, only to end up empty-handed, Chen Nan couldn’t help but laugh.

He looked at Su Qingqing on the shore with a smile and said, ”Girl, is that enough for you to eat?”

Seeing the envious gaze of the other girls, Su Qingqing was quite thrilled, her face beaming as she looked at the lotus root in her hand and then patted her stomach, saying, ”I didn’t eat lunch at noon; this probably won’t be enough.”

”Alright then, I’ll dig up a few more segments for you to take your time and enjoy,” he said.

”Cousin, you’re the best.”

Chen Nan gave a faint smile, ”You’re my cousin, if I don’t treat you well, who else should I treat well?”

”...”

Listening to their conversation, the girls nearby nearly died of envy.

Why did someone else’s cousin have to be so good? They turned to look at their own boyfriends, floundering in the water, soaking wet, looking like buffaloes, yet not even a speck had they touched.

Before long, Chen Nan found another patch of tender lotus leaves just peeking above the water’s surface; he bent down, reached in, and again grabbed a large lotus root, even bigger than the last one.

In just a few minutes, Chen Nan had dug out another large lotus root.

This one had four segments and was bigger by a whole size than the last, its weight probably twice as heavy as the previous one.

”Girl, are these two roots enough for you? Do you want me to dig up another one?” Chen Nan, having cleaned the lotus root, said to Su Qingqing.

Su Qingqing danced with excitement and happily said, ”That’s enough, that’s enough, stop digging. Look, so many people haven’t even found half a root. Let’s leave some for them.”

”Okay, I’ll listen to you,” he replied.

After Chen Nan washed his hands and feet, he lightly leaped out of the lake.

He bent over to pull down his sleeves and pant legs, still as clean and tidy as ever, not even a speck of mud on him...

Seeing Chen Nan’s appearance at this moment, the boys in the small lake, who were fumbling for lotus root stocks in the water, were so frustrated they almost passed out. They were covered in mud and hadn’t found a single root, while Chen Nan, the jerk, was spotless yet had dug up two large White Lotus Roots...

It’s infuriating to compare oneself with others!

”Nan bro, do you have some kind of trick? How did you manage to find them so easily?”

One of them could not help but ask Chen Nan for advice.

Chen Nan sat on the grassy shore with Su Qingqing, revealing a kind smile, ”It’s easy. Just dig down from those old lotus leaves, you’re sure to find big ones.”

It has to be said, Chen Nan was an absolute bastard, completely devoid of sympathy.

Anyone who has dug for lotus roots knows that to find big ones, you need to start under the young lotus leaves that have just surfaced. Under old lotus leaves, there are mostly roots.

In other words, the probability of finding large White Lotus Roots under young leaves is eighty percent, whereas under old leaves, at best it’s ten percent.

Chen Nan telling them to dig under old lotus leaves was clearly malicious, fearing they wouldn’t tire themselves to death.

”Dude, thanks so much!”

The guy who had asked the question thanked Chen Nan even after being tricked.

He then looked around and quickly found an old, dark-green lotus leaf, and started feeling down its stem.

Soon enough, the guy burst out laughing, ”I got it, I got it! It’s really big, about as thick as my wrist. Dude, I’m so grateful to you!”

After saying that, he started to dig through the mud with gusto.

On the shore, while Chen Nan sighed at the guy’s dumb luck, he also felt an endless sense of shame. The guy had come to ask sincerely for advice, yet Chen Nan had deceived him without remorse.

When the others saw that guy get a big root after following Chen Nan’s advice, their eyes lit up, and they began to cast aside the tender lotus leaves and focused on digging under the old ones.

Yet, after a long time groping, they found nothing at all.

Just then, three students, a mix of male and female, approached from a distance.

They arrived at the bank, glanced at the chaos of lotus leaves in the pond, and immediately frowned, ”What are you doing? Stop right now.”

The people who were digging lotus roots in the pond looked up at the three walking over, and one them, with a frown, said, ”Who are you guys? How’s my digging lotus roots any of your business? Mind your own!”

”We’re from the student council,” they answered.

The one leading the trio pointed to the warning sign beside the pond, ”Didn’t you see it?”

The guy who had sought advice from Chen Nan earlier replied disdainfully, ”That sign says picking lotus leaves and flowers is forbidden, but we didn’t pick any leaves, we’re digging roots.”

”Does it make a difference?”

”A big difference. One is digging, the other is picking.”

”Fine, even if what you said is correct. But, look at how many lotus leaves have been broken inside here because of you?”

Upon hearing this, all the guys in the pond suddenly wimped out.

On the other side, Chen Nan and Su Qingqing sat on the grass, full of schadenfreude smiles, quietly stood up, turned around, and slipped away, leaving others to carry the can.
