Ji You's lips slightly curved: Mengmeng willing to speak up is a good thing. It means it's willing to listen to my explanation.
So, Ji You again presented the carved watermelon in front of Mengmeng, saying, "Mengmeng, this is my first time giving you a rose-shaped watermelon. I hope the friendship between us crosses the river of time, surpasses spatial barriers, endlessly enduring until the seas dry up, rocks crumble, and the Universe explodes, never ceasing."
Mengmeng was sulking in silence but hearing Ji You's words, its short ears suddenly twitched.
Ji You said, "My friend, Mr. Mengmeng, do you agree?"
Mengmeng: "Baa—"
[Hmph!]
Ji You held the rose-shaped watermelon near Mengmeng's mouth; the faint, sweet watermelon aroma wafted, Mengmeng licked its lips but remained silent.
Ji You smiled and said, "Eat it."
Mengmeng opened its mouth: "Baa—"
[Such a beautiful rose, gone once eaten.]
Ji You smiled and said, "After you eat, I'll carve another one for you."
