Chapter 688: Truth and Lies 8
Xia Yinian now realizes that coming here is very likely a conspiracy.Besides the matter with Feng Yifan, it’s the first time the Third Young Master has personally asked her for help.
It can’t be a trivial matter that he needs her help for, and given the current situation, there shouldn’t be any major issues.
Just as Uncle said, there wouldn’t be anyone coming even if she screams her lungs out, so why bother calling out?
Although feeling a bit irritable inside, her steps did not stop.
Xia Yinian was still worried, thinking if she got him angry, it might not just be about wanting to have dinner.
The two, hand in hand, arrived at the pavilion by the pond.
Gu Beicheng let go of Xia Yinian’s hand and casually grabbed a fishing hook from a bucket nearby.
Standing there, Xia Yinian watched his movements and finally understood why Uncle said fish aren’t caught by hands, but indeed, he intended to fish.
In no time, Gu Beicheng has put the baited hook into the water.
"Come here." The man turned his head to look at the person behind him, his voice carrying a commanding tone.
Xia Yinian was reluctant, but still walked over.
It’s just fishing, it’s not like she would lose a piece of flesh.
The man turned his head, sensing the girl’s approach, his long arm accurately embracing her into his arms.
"Uncle!" Xia Yinian pushed him, trying to sit up straight.
"Shh! What kind of fish would you like to eat? I’ll catch them all for you." Gu Beicheng’s voice was gentle.
Xia Yinian looked up at the earnest man, then looked down and noticed that the bait had started to move.
The pond was very clear, and she could see the grass carp nibbling at it.
"Let’s take that one, it looks plump and tasty," Xia Yinian murmured, trying to keep her voice down.
"Alright, that one it is," Gu Beicheng tightened his hold on the girl.
He liked this feeling and didn’t want to let her go so quickly, so he deliberately moved the fishing rod with his right hand.
With his "reminder," the fish seemed to sense something and backed away a bit, leaving the tempting bait.
"Uncle, it’s getting away," Xia Yinian said, a bit anxious.
"It’s okay, it won’t get away," Gu Beicheng looked down at the girl in his embrace.
That look in his eyes, it was unclear whether he meant the fish couldn’t get away or the girl he had set his sights on.
The fishing rod was slightly shifted, and the bait once again piqued the interest of the same fish.
Wagging its tail leisurely, it approached the bait.
Watching as if it were contemplating life made Xia Yinian very nervous.
It was, after all, her first time fishing and she hadn’t imagined it to be so thrilling.
But, in fact, she wasn’t even holding the fishing rod, yet she didn’t realize how nervous she could be.
"Have you decided whether you want it steamed or braised?" His soft voice sprinkled down over the girl’s head.
Xia Yinian looked up at him and blinked.
"Braised it is, we’ll also have steamed river shrimp tonight."
As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze locked onto the pond again.
Seeing the well-behaved girl, Gu Beicheng slightly curved his lips.
It seemed, having this girl by his side, living a simple life could be quite nice.
The man’s eyes stayed on the girl; after a while, he suddenly lifted the rod, and a fish weighing at least seven or eight catties was pulled up.
"We did it! Uncle, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to succeed!" Xia Yinian exclaimed excitedly.
"Mhm, we succeeded," Gu Beicheng nodded and planted a kiss on top of her head.
What’s the fun in fishing?
His success, was in making his girl smile.
