Chapter 295: Chapter 302: CompetitionThe fruit section was less crowded than the seafood area, but to get the good fruits, one must be quick. After all, fruits don’t taste as good once they’ve sat for a while, and the ones at the bottom were squashed, not as fresh. Therefore, it’s best to wait for the fresh ones to be brought out and quickly grab more. When the three of them got there, Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke didn’t even have plates in their hands, just pointing at what they wanted to eat. James Brown, on the other hand, had a tray in one hand and was piling what they pointed out onto the plate. In no time, the stack on the plate was over ten centimeters high, looking quite impressive. At that moment, a couple was picking fruits, and the boy’s plate was also stacked high, but his hand was very steady, confidently saying, "What else do you want to eat? Let’s grab some more." The girl initially felt it was enough, but seeing James Brown’s plate stacked very high suddenly piqued her interest, saying, "Let’s get this, and this..." The boy quickly placed the fruits his girlfriend pointed out onto the plate, and soon the stack was about to surpass that of James Brown’s. This excited the girl, who deliberately said loudly: "You are really amazing, your skills are definitely better than anyone else." It was clearly meant for James Brown and his group to hear. Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke initially didn’t notice these two, but the girl’s shout caught their attention, and the competitive nature in girls always comes unreasonably. Feeling the girl showing off, both felt a sense of rivalry, with Sarah Johnson saying to James Brown: "Brother-in-law, someone is looking down on you, can you outdo him?" Being with the two girls, James Brown felt younger and couldn’t help but feel playful. He laughed and said, "Let’s try." Then he picked some more items, and soon his stack was even higher than the boy’s. "Darling, let’s get more." The girl kept her eyes on James Brown’s plate, and immediately urged her boyfriend to keep up, not willing to be outdone. The boy was also unwilling to lose. Usually, his skill made him a highlight of the buffet, but now being outdone by James Brown, he couldn’t swallow his pride, quickly stacking more items and soon surpassing James again. Without waiting for Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke to urge him on, James added some more, instantly surpassing the other again. The competitive spirit between the two drew the attention of everyone nearby. Coming here to eat and encountering such entertaining events, especially when it’s time for a fruit salad, meant the meal was almost over, and watching the excitement was all the more enjoyable. "Both of them are really impressive, I see they have stacked up to twenty centimeters high." "Yes, yes, having stacked so high and yet none have fallen off, how did they do it?" "Haha, these two are competing; we have to see who can stack higher in the end." Everyone watched excitedly, continuously discussing on the side, while James Brown and the boy kept silent, still placing items in their plates. Sarah Johnson, Emily Clarke, and the girl were even more nervous and excited than James and the boy, cheering on their respective sides. This competition was a typical youthful rivalry. While their competition was lively, the waitstaff were staring intently at them. The food they provided for the guests had now become toys for the two, which seemed too excessive. Should anything fall from their plates, the staff would undoubtedly come over to fine them without hesitation. When items on their plates reached over twenty centimeters in height, the boy was sweating profusely, as he had never stacked that high before. Today was an exceptional performance, and he was extremely careful with each item, not daring to make a single mistake. In contrast, James Brown still appeared relaxed, as if everything on his plate was glued together, stable and showing no signs that anything would fall off. "I must say, our establishment forbids waste. If you take too much and can’t finish it, you will be fined," the floor manager couldn’t stand it any longer and came over to remind them. James Brown turned to look at Emily Clarke and Sarah Johnson, smiling, "Is it enough?" Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke had been caught up in the competition, and just realized that James Brown had picked a lot. Whether they could eat so much was indeed a question, and it was clear they had already bested the boy, so they nodded repeatedly, saying, "Enough, enough."

Earlier James Brown had only taken small steps in the food area, but now he walked briskly towards the dining area, with onlookers following closely. They were all skeptical that James could return with that stack of food without incident. But under everyone’s gaze, James walked as smoothly as flowing water, his hand as steady as a rock, and safely returned to their table. "Ah!" A shriek and the sound of a plate hitting the floor drew everyone’s attention back to the boy who had been competing with James Brown. And this poor guy, he had just stacked so high, already performing beyond normal, being able to hold it without falling was already impressive, but he couldn’t just keep holding it like that. Under his girlfriend’s urging, he also wanted to take the items back like James Brown, but as soon as he took a step, the dishes in his hand wobbled, and the items on it tilted. He quickly tried to stabilize it with his other hand, but things got even worse, all the items scattered, and in his panic, he even threw the plates away. The waiters immediately surrounded them to prevent the two from escaping, and in the end, the couple had to pay a fine before they could leave. For them, this incident was just a minor interruption. James Brown didn’t take it seriously at all, but Emma Campbell, Emily Clarke, and Sarah Johnson, the three of them were all excitedly chattering about what had just happened, as if they had done something incredibly impressive. Sarah Johnson giggled and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so cool. If you weren’t my sister’s husband, I’d definitely chase after you." Emily Clarke smirked and said, "You don’t even need to chase after him, Emma is your good sister, right? Good sisters should share the good things, why not let Emma share her husband with you?" Sarah Johnson, touching her chin, said: "That’s a good idea. Hey Emma, you wouldn’t mind, would you?" Emma Campbell felt extremely embarrassed, knowing full well that they were just joking, but still didn’t know how to respond. Sarah Johnson put an arm around Emma Campbell’s shoulder, smiling and said, "Emma, don’t be so stingy, I won’t steal your husband. At worst, you can be the main, and I’ll be the minor. Look how strong your husband is, you alone can’t handle him anyway. I can help too." James Brown sweated profusely. Dealing with these girls under twenty, he truly felt old. People like Charlotte and Sarah Johnson, they dared to say anything; these comments made even this experienced man blush. "Brother-in-law, you wouldn’t mind, right?" Sarah Johnson started teasing James Brown again. Emily Clarke also chimed in, "Our Little Lily might not be as beautiful as Emma, but she is sexy. Look at that figure, look at those breasts. Most importantly, she’s very generous in bed, she will definitely serve you to your heart’s content." "Cough, cough..." James Brown had just taken a sip of his drink and immediately choked, coughing repeatedly. Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke immediately laughed heartily. They just love to be playful and teasing, but they really didn’t have bad intentions. After the laughter and teasing, the atmosphere became even better. Nevertheless, Emma Campbell and James Brown still felt embarrassed from time to time, and all the fruit salad was devoured by the three girls, which made James Brown secretly admire their fighting spirit. However, when the four of them were about to leave, James Brown noticed that the three girls were having a hard time walking - it seemed they had eaten too much. Finally catching an opportunity, he teased them a bit, but none of them felt ashamed; at a buffet, of course, you must eat your money’s worth, otherwise it would be a loss not being able to walk after eating. James Brown drove straight to the campus. He stopped his car at the door of Emma Campbell’s dormitory. Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke opened the door and got out of the car, but Emma Campbell turned her head to look at James Brown. Seeing the expectant look in her eyes, James Brown understood, smiling he said, "If you’re not afraid of being teased by your friends, you can stay at my place tonight." The face of Emma Campbell instantly turned as red as the sunset, but she bit her lip and said softly, "I’m not afraid." James Brown’s heart swayed; Emma at this moment was just too adorable. He rolled down the window and said to Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke, "I won’t walk you up to your floor, Emma and I are heading back." Sarah Johnson giggled and said, "Then I wish you guys a romantic night, we won’t intrude." "Bye!" Emily Clarke waved her hand and, along with Sarah Johnson, slowly walked up the stairs. With no roommates around, Emma Campbell immediately felt a sigh of relief, softly saying, "Big Brother Brown, they teased you so much, you’re not mad, are you?" "No, I know they don’t mean anything bad, and they get along well with you, otherwise they wouldn’t tease us so unabashedly. Having a few good friends in a lifetime is not easy." Emma Campbell nodded and said, "They really look after me. Whenever I have difficulties, they always lend me money and take care of me in other ways too." "Yes, then whenever possible, treat them to a meal or something. It’s rare to find true friends in life." James Brown suddenly thought of his comrades from the Hawk Squad in his military days. Ever since he left the Hawk Squad, pageTitle hasn’t been in contact with them, and he didn’t know what they were doing now.
