A young man who made a giant heart from hundreds of fruits for a public love confession was left humiliated when his advances were rejected by the girl of his dreams. The unnamed boy, a third-year university student, laid out the round pomelo (Citrus maxima) fruits outside a crowded shopping centre in Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong Province on September 6, 2016, where he arranged the meet-up with the girl known as Mu Mu. Mu Mu, who arrived with her girlfriends from university, is a year above the young man at school, but her seniority did not prevent him from pulling out all the stops to get his girl. Occupying the public square in the shopping area, the man laid out some 999 pomelos into the shape of a giant heart, and later borrowed a microphone to very publicly announce his love for the girl. The crowd screamed with delight at the scenes of young love, expecting an emphatic “yes” followed by a hug and a kiss – but Mu Mu had other ideas. The dejected young man is said to have left the scene hanging his head, but at least his fruit did not go to waste. According to reports, Mu Mu gave the baying crowd permission to take the pomelo home – and they swept the fruit up in just two minutes. (Photo by EuroPics/CEN Agency)
