Is there a winner in this competition? The answer is: no!
Because Luo Xi suddenly shouted that her eyes hurt.
Even in the middle of the fight, Lu Sheng still heard these words. He whispered, "Let's fight another day. I'll go see my wife."
They ended so inexplicably that Luo Xi and He Yining still found it strange.
"Let me see if the sand is not clean." Lu Sheng stepped forward, picked her up, and strode to the shore regardless of whether there were crowds of tourists around.
Being held by him like this in public, Luo Xi immediately felt embarrassed, "My eyes are fine."
"Who was crying about pain just now?"
"I told Yi Ning, it's just a little bit of grinding."
"You can't even grind it." Lu Sheng put her on the beach chair and took the mineral water bottle, "Here, wash it again, there may be sand in it."
Luo Xi reached out her face cooperatively and asked him to wash her eyes. In fact, she was also curious about who was stronger between Lu Sheng and Gu Nianxi, so she asked gossipingly: "If the fight continues, which one of you will win?"
"Of course it's me."
Luo Xi grinned and said, "My husband is indeed the most powerful."
"Of course."
On the other side, He Yining was walking towards this side holding Gu Nianxi's hand. Women are a bit gossipy, so she asked the same question as Luo Xi, "If the fight continues, which of you will win?"
Gu Nianxi raised her head in disgust, "Of course it's me."
He Yining smiled and said, "Are you so powerful?"
"Of course, it doesn't matter whose husband it is."
He moved his face closer and said, "Give me a kiss as a reward."
He Yining looked around and quickly kissed him on the face.
Gu Nianxi kissed her back triumphantly, "It's good to know that your husband is the best."
"Luo Xi, let me take a look at it." He Yining left Gu Nianxi and said, "If it is not cleaned up, it will easily become inflamed."
Luo Xi smiled and said, "With a surgeon as good as you, I'm not worried at all."
"It's windy here, let's go back and do it."
When they arrived at Gu Nianxi's small two-story bamboo house, He Yining took Luo Xi to clean his eyes. The two men stood on the beach downstairs smoking.
"There is no winner today." Gu Nianxi blew out a smoke ring, "But if we continue to fight, you will lose."
"I don't think so. You're already exhausted."
Lu Sheng flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "You are the one who loses."
The two of them were talking to each other, and no one was convinced by the other, as if they would never give up until there was a winner today.
Finally, Gu Nianxi came up with an idea, "Let's compete in climbing trees and picking coconuts. Whoever loses will be punished."
"How to punish?"
"Did you see that fruit stall over there? Whoever loses will help the boss sell fruit. If he doesn't sell all the fruit, he won't be allowed to sleep."
"Okay, let's compare."
Luo Xi cleaned up the sand in her eyes, and He Yining gave her some anti-inflammatory drops. After hearing about the competition between these two men, He Yining and Luo Xi rolled their eyes at the same time, saying in unison: Childish!
However, despite being naive, they still actively cooperated and joined in. They worked in pairs and formed a small team. Regardless of victory or defeat, both of them had to share the responsibility.
Carrying two large bamboo baskets, the four of them came to the coconut grove in the middle of the island, and Ajun was called by them to be the referee. The huge coconut tree had a straight trunk, no branches or vines, and huge feather-like leaves stretched out from the treetops.
Go out and hold up an umbrella-shaped green crown
There is a special kind of shoe for picking coconuts. After wearing it, you can easily climb a coconut tree twenty to thirty meters high. However, for Lu Sheng and Gu Nianxi, wearing shoes or not is secondary.
Ajun said: "The number of coconuts on each tree is different. It depends on your luck. The competition time is thirty minutes. The one who picks the most coconuts within thirty minutes is the winner."
To be fair, Ajun also brought a whistle. As soon as the whistle blew, the two men jumped up quickly like dexterous apes.
Ajun said in surprise: "With such dexterity, even those of us who have been picking coconuts for decades may not be able to do it at this speed."
That's natural, regardless of where these two come from.
Luo Xi and He Yining stood by the bamboo basket, looking up at their husbands, waiting for the coconuts to fall into the basket from above.
Soon, both of them climbed to the top of the tree. Lu Sheng took out the coconut knife from his waist, quickly cut off one and threw it down, "Luo Xi, catch it."
"What's next?"
The coconut fell steadily into the basket, and on the other side, there was a big green coconut in He Yining's basket.
The coconut grove was fragrant. Gu Nianxi glanced here and suddenly sang a military song loudly.
He was so happy. Normally, even He Yining would find it difficult to hear him show off his singing voice. He was tone deaf because of his fault.
It's just that this kind of military singing is full of momentum, which completely makes up for the tone.
"Only when you are a soldier do you know whether your bones are strong or not.
Only when you become a soldier do you know what a coward and a hero are.”
Over there, Lu Sheng echoed him loudly while waving the coconut knife in his hand.
“Only when you are a soldier do you realize that rich money cannot buy comradeship.
Only when you become a soldier do you know why the cap badge is so red.”
The two men were not only racing at speed, but also singing.
After hearing this, Luo Xi and He Yining looked at each other and smiled. The friendship between men is special. It is mixed with passion and flesh and blood. The so-called heroes cherish heroes.
The two quickly picked all the coconuts from a tree and immediately slid down from the tree to find the next target.
Ajun looked at his watch below and shouted loudly: "There are still ten minutes left, come on."
The two men stopped talking at this time and were sweating profusely while chopping coconuts. The basket under the tree was soon full.
"Time's up."
Lu Sheng threw down the last coconut, but there were no more coconuts on Gu Nianxi's tree.
Ajun counted from below, "Mr. Lu picked 145, Mr. Gu... 144."
"How is that possible?"
Gu Nianxi slid down from the tree and was unconvinced and insisted on counting it by herself. However, he kept counting and there were 144. Lu Sheng said proudly: "No matter how many times you count, you will never let it give birth to one. No."
Sorry, Xiao Sheng."
Gu Nianxi frowned and said unconvinced, "It's not that I can't pick as fast as you, it's just that I picked one less tree than you."
"There's nothing you can do about it, this is fate." Lu Sheng spread his hands and put his arm around Luo Xi's shoulders, "Honey, support the business of Gu Dajun's family and go to his fruit stall to buy two bananas."
Luo Xi chuckled.
He Yining took Gu Nianxi's hand and comforted him: "I'm willing to admit defeat, isn't it just selling out all the fruits in a stall..."
He Yining suddenly shut up. She had not forgotten the scene when Gu Nianxi went to work as a waiter in someone else's small restaurant, and almost offended all the guests in the restaurant. If he was asked to sell fruit... She was very suspicious of a person.
