S&E Ch. 5

Shuang Yi had a very powerful watermelon knife with a length of more than a foot, and the blade was curved like a horn, shimmering with cold light, and very sharp. 

Speaking of the origin of this knife, it went back three years. At that time, Shuang Yi first arrived in city B, and as soon as she rented a cheap house, thieves started breaking into houses in the old community, and the thief was very dedicated in stealing from the building in which Shuang Yi lived. After all the neighbors were attacked, Shuang Yi decisively bought the knife at the roadside stall for 20 yuan and brought it back. However, she just walked downstairs with the knife and heard the aunts arguing and saying that the thief was caught…

So, this knife had never come in handy, and Shuang Yi had forgotten it after throwing it in the corner for a long time. Now she is going to move to Zhou Ningxu’s house and is organizing her things before giving up the key to the house.

How to deal with this knife? Shuang Yi squatted beside the box worried. 

If she takes it, it doesn’t seem to be of much use, and what if Zhou Ning Xu saw it and thought she was going to kill someone? But if she throws it away, it is inappropriate, in case someone picks it up—and uses it to do bad things—anyway—there are her fingerprints on the knife…Uh…”

Take it, Shuang Yi made up his mind.

So, the watermelon knife was pressed under some things in a box and brought to Zhou’s house.

On the third day of cohabitation, Zhou Ningxu brought a watermelon home after work at the request of Shuang Yi. Zhou Ningxu had done no research on watermelons, so he didn’t know how to judge and pick a good one. So, he picked a super big watermelon with a perfect curve and went back.

After returning home, he went to the study to answer the phone. Shuang Yi stared at the huge watermelon on the ground in a cold sweat for a while and ran to Zhou Ningxu’s kitchen to find a knife. She looked for it but couldn’t find it. She started feeling depressed. Suddenly, Shuang Yi remembered that she has a knife! Fortunately, she didn’t throw it away.

She cut the watermelon all up. 

When Zhou Ningxu finished answering the phone and came out of the study, the watermelon had been cut into even small pieces and arranged neatly on the table. 

However, this was not the focus. The focus was why such an exaggerated knife suddenly appeared on the coffee table. 

“Where did this knife come from?”

“I bought it” said Shuang Yi who was gnawing on the watermelon and couldn’t speak clearly.

“What did you buy it for?” 

“Well… self-defense.” Shuang Yi answered casually.

It was bought for self-defense three years ago. But it did not sound that way in Zhou Ningxu’s ears. Self-defense? And it seemed to be taken out of the bedroom. Zhou Ningxu raised his eyebrows slightly and understood. 

He nodded, sat down beside her, and ate the watermelon leisurely. Shuang Yi ate fast. After gnawing the nth slice of watermelon, she tidily cleaned the table, wiped the knife and planned to put the knife back in the bedroom.

Zhou Ningxu, who had been eating watermelon silently, spoke, “Give me the knife.”

This left Shuang Yi in a daze. “The knife? What do you want it for? Zhou Ningxu smiled and said leisurely: “Self-defense.”
