On the way back, the sun was scorching, and today there were even more people on the ox cart, which made it particularly cramped. Sitting on the ox cart, Su Yunjin was drenched in sweat.
After getting off the ox cart, Su Yunjin cooled down a bit, but it was still hot.
Sweat streamed down her face and forehead. When she looked at Gu Ya, he wasn't much better off, seeming to be even hotter. Huge beads of sweat continuously dripped down from him.
Today at the market, she had bought a watermelon. Although Su Yunjin had purchased the watermelon to quench the workers' thirst, since she bought plenty, she could have some herself.
Choosing a big, round one, Su Yunjin patted it with her hand and, hearing a solid sound from inside, knew that the melon was ripe and full of juice.
Placing the watermelon on the table, Su Yunjin fetched a knife. Just as she was about to cut it, Gu Ya came over and stopped her, "Yunjin, give me the knife; I'll do it!"
