The two women arrived empty-handed, and the bag of Live Shrimp must have been bought from the store. This aunt was quite generous! Spending money to buy shrimp for herself was worth it, and Shi Tian felt that this effort was justified!
However, the aunt's faith changed rather quickly. When the Buddha didn't work, she turned her back, and in the blink of an eye, her daughter was back in spring!
Looking back with reverence at Shi Tianyi, the aunt didn't approach but sat down on the steps, her ears occasionally twitching as she tried to catch any updates from her daughter.
The young lady wasn’t stunning but had a charm that grew on you. Old Lin’s instant infatuation surprised Shi Tian a bit.
With her finger pressing the line against the Rod, she opened the line stop and placed the Rod behind her. She focused ahead and cast it out, releasing her finger at the right moment so that the Hook flew away!
Under Old Lin's careful guidance, the young lady made a powerful throw, and with a splash, it went nearly ten meters—just like Old Zhang used to do!
Impressive! To throw that far on her first try, she reeled in the line and watched as the Float bobbed. When a fish tugged it underwater, she lifted the Rod to hook it, then started cranking the Wheel to reel it in!
After complimenting her insincerely, Old Lin put away his Rod and added two Plastic Particles to his setup. With a strong throw, he sent it flying over ten meters! Old Lin was quite skilled!
The protective period for fishing gear is somewhat mystical; it always gives you a taste of success first, letting you catch a big fish to lure you deeper into the hobby. Once you're hooked and have spent a fortune on Bait, you become an unwitting supplier for the fish!
When the Float went dark, the young lady raised her Rod, and a hefty Black Sea Bream was caught on the Hook.
Old Lin guided her to bring in the fish while showering her with extravagant praise that nearly made her blush. The fish ended up temporarily resting in Old Lin's Fish Bucket.
This Old Lin was easier to deal with than Sun Lang; if it weren't for Su Xueyi's crush on military men, Sun Lang would probably still be single.
A few Yu Hu later, Old Lin let out a cry that startled everyone!
Turning around, Shi Tianyi laughed. Always circling around beautiful women? Now you’re getting your comeuppance!
You never know from what tricky angle a Hook might be thrown out. Therefore, when casting a rod, it's best to stay as far away as possible. Shi Ye and Air Force had been quite foresighted; when they taught him how to cast for the first time, they almost hid behind a tree!
Old Lin's cry startled Mo Fei so much that she froze. The Hook had snagged his thigh; although there was no blood, that force must have pierced through some flesh!
Seeing the aunt climbing up the steps ready to rush over, Shi Tian quickly reached out to stop her and whispered: "Let young people handle their own affairs; they need space to grow!"
Before the aunt could react, Shi Tian stood up and circled around Old Lin to take a closer look at the Hook. He pulled out a pair of scissors from Old Lin's Fishing Box and swiftly cut the line.
"Look," he said, "I can either help you pull it out and apply some iodine or we can go to the hospital and let professionals handle it! Although I’ve never done this before and don’t have much experience, I think I know the general process! Or you could let me practice my skills on you?"
Given how deep it was lodged in there—definitely not coming out from the front since there were barbs on the Hook—he could only cut off part of it and make a hole in Old Lin’s leg.
"Let’s go; I’ll drive you to the hospital!" Old Lin wanted to show off his Northwest Man bravado but hadn’t even opened his mouth when Mo Fei spoke first. She abandoned her Rod and supported Old Lin as they headed toward the car.
With that support, Old Lin immediately nodded in agreement and followed her toward the car at a speed even faster than Mo Fei’s!
Watching the two leave, the elderly woman made her way up from the beach.
How old was that young man? Where was he from? What did he do?
Finally seeing a glimmer of hope, she felt a rush of excitement. First, she needed to vet this young man and check his family background.
Faced with the elderly woman's interrogation mode, Shi Tian felt a bit overwhelmed. "Your daughter isn't that old! Why are you so eager to marry her off?"
He quickly gathered some details: "He's from the Northwest, eighteen years old, one meter eighty tall, and works as a marketing operations manager with a base salary of eight thousand. He was hired through my connections because he likes Sanya."
"Why don't you take your rod home and ask your daughter what she thinks?" Shi Tian thought to himself as he tried to wrap up the conversation with the elderly woman.
"Just leave the rod at the fishing tackle shop! I'll have my daughter come pick it up tomorrow!" With that, the elderly woman hummed a little tune and waved goodbye to Shi Tian. "You're quite impressive! You gave her some pointers at noon, and by evening, her romantic prospects blossomed. Now even their birth dates don't match; it must be fate!"
Finally managing to send the elderly woman off, Shi Tian barely had a moment to sit down when two cars pulled up in front of the store. Looking up, he recognized them—Wang Gou and Lobster!
These were all familiar faces, so neither Shi Tian nor Sun Lang needed to personally greet them; they would come over on their own!
Sure enough, as soon as the cars stopped, two members of the Air Force Faction and three from Da Gui Pai got out together. As soon as they opened the trunk and grabbed a few rods, they made their way over!
The group was quite organized; it just wasn't clear whether the Air Force Faction had recruited Da Gui Pai or vice versa.
