Chapter 286: Favorability Maxed Out
Li Huaide would naturally not forget this matter. In the beginning, one of the main reasons he was willing to get close to Li Qin was because of the people behind Li Qin.
According to Li Huaide's speculation, these people must all be extraordinary individuals.
Upon hearing Li Qin mention these people again, Li Huaide glanced at the watermelon in front of him, then looked at Li Qin.
"Could it be this watermelon...?"
'
Before Li Huaide could finish speaking, Li Qin nodded directly;
"That's right, these watermelons were obtained by them. They specially saved two for me. I thought they were a rare item, so I brought them to share with you, Uncle Li."
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Li Huaide looked at Li Qin with extreme satisfaction.
He was truly moved at that moment.
Previously, when Li Qin encountered something good, his first thought was to tell him. After that, he went to great lengths to help him get the medicinal wine.
Now, when I receive a rare treat like a watermelon from a friend, my first thought isn't to enjoy it alone, but to bring it to share with him.
This shows that Li Qin truly cares about him and genuinely regards him as a close elder.
Li Huaide is not as cunning and calculating as he is later; he still retains some of his emotional side.
Faced with this situation, her impression of Li Qin immediately improved significantly.
Only then did Li Huaide truly treat Li Qin as his own nephew, rather than a subordinate or a tool.

[Emotional Power +30]
At this moment, Li Qin was somewhat confused as he heard the constant notifications in his ears.
He genuinely had no idea what had happened.
Li Qin originally just wanted to try to find a sales channel for the watermelons and other fruits produced in the space by sharing this watermelon.
But he didn't expect that after he only said a few words, Li Huaide would start to unleash his emotional power continuously.
At first, Li Qin thought that he had accidentally said something wrong, which displeased Li Huaide, or that Li Huaide had other bad intentions.
But he soon discovered that Li Huaide's eyes and expression showed no abnormality whatsoever.
No, it can't be said that there are no abnormalities.
After careful observation, Li Qin noticed that Li Huaide's gaze towards him was becoming increasingly kind and affectionate.
Thus, Li Qin knew that unleashing a large amount of emotional power was probably not a bad thing.
Li Qin immediately felt much more at ease.
He will need Li Huaide's help in many things in the future, and if their relationship breaks down, it will be somewhat detrimental to him.
Therefore, Li Qin has always taken the initiative to maintain a friendly relationship between the two.
"Uncle Li, let's not worry about where this watermelon came from, let's taste it first."
After confirming that Li Huaide meant no harm, Li Qin immediately got up and took a fruit knife from the cabinet in his office.
Then, without any hesitation, with a few quick "snap, snap, snap," a watermelon was cut into many pieces.
Li Qin first took one and handed it to Li Huaide, then picked up one for himself as well:
"Uncle Li, try this! I got this watermelon last night, but I chilled it in water all day. It'll be absolutely delicious to eat now."
Li Qin, who can use magic spells to simulate various environments, naturally wouldn't forget that he would eat chilled watermelon.
However, in order to explain, he could only use this excuse.
Upon hearing that he could eat chilled watermelon in such hot weather, Li Huaide immediately accepted without hesitation.
He simply took the watermelon that Li Qin handed him.
The two then started showing off in the office.
The watermelons at this time were not the modern large watermelons that had undergone multiple breeding programs.
Therefore, the watermelon is not very big.
Li Qin and Li Huaide quickly devoured it.
"Awesome!"
After finishing the watermelon, Li Qin couldn't help but let out a satisfied sound.
Compared to Li Qin's undisguised behavior, Li Huaide was more mindful of his image, even though he also found the chilled watermelon refreshing.
But they weren't as casual as Li Qin.
However, Li Huaide nodded in agreement with Li Qin's words.
"This chilled watermelon is indeed delicious. The key is that it relieves the heat and dryness, making people feel comfortable from the inside out."
Li Qin nodded in agreement.
Although he possesses alchemical artifacts that ensure he stays warm in winter and cool in summer, it doesn't mean he is immune to the summer heat.
I also think that eating chilled watermelon is a wonderful treat in this kind of weather.
In fact, ever since the weather started to get hot, Li Qin has been hiding in his suitcase almost every day, not to eat chilled watermelon.
It's just drinking some chilled fruit juice.
The pagoda space produces a wide variety of fruits every day, and in considerable quantities as well.
Li Qin could drink unlimited amounts of fruit juice and other things as long as he wanted.
So these things are quite common for him.
But for Li Huaide, that might not be the case.
At that time, the country was in dire need of reconstruction, and the land was mostly used for growing grains and other crops. There wasn't much fruit or melon cultivation.
Therefore, although things like watermelons do exist in Beijing, they are not plentiful.
Moreover, they are mainly provided to certain special groups of people.
For someone of Li Huaide's caliber, even if they wanted to eat, it wouldn't be easy.
Now, however, it's a luxury for two people to share a watermelon, which even Li Huaide couldn't help but sigh about.
At the same time, he became increasingly certain that the friends Li Qin mentioned were not ordinary people.
After finishing a watermelon, Li Qin and Li Huaide each lit a cigarette and started smoking.
As for where the smoke came from?
That was naturally taken from Ji Huaide's drawer.
As usual, after Li Huaide finished handing out cigarettes, he threw the remaining cigarettes, along with the pack, to Li Qin.
Li Qin accepted it with a smile.
Suddenly, Li Qin, who was blowing smoke rings, noticed that Li Huaide's gaze kept drifting towards the remaining watermelon on the table.
A longing flashed in Li Huaide's eyes, but he suppressed it in the end.
He certainly wouldn't have been polite to Li Qin about ordinary things, but this watermelon was different.
Although this item is not very valuable, it is a truly rare find.
It's something that even if you have real money, you might not be able to buy.
Therefore, even if Li Huaide longed for it, he wouldn't speak up casually.
A glint of light flashed in Li Qin's eyes, and then he smiled and said:
"Uncle Li, take this remaining watermelon home with you when you get off work, so Auntie can have a taste too."
Upon hearing this, Li Huaide's expression shifted, and he suddenly looked at Li Qin.
His eyes were filled with surprise.
Li Huaide had no doubt about Li Qin's intelligence.
Therefore, Li Qin could not possibly be unaware of the significance of this watermelon.
If he were to ask for it, he would naturally owe Li Qin a favor, but before he could speak, Li Qin took the initiative to speak.
In that case, he wouldn't owe Li Qin anything.
Knowing all this, Li Qin still said it, which made Li Huaide sigh inwardly.
Li Qin then continued speaking;
"The last few times I visited Uncle Li's house, I didn't bring Auntie any gifts. This watermelon is my way of showing my appreciation and helping Auntie cool off in the summer heat."
Although Li Qin did have some ulterior motives regarding the watermelon matter.
But when he said those words, he meant them sincerely.
