He should still be able to find the fly fishing video on his phone. Once the romantic vibe of the car ride is over, I’ll send the fly fishing video to Old Lin and let him take Mo Fei out for some fly fishing. I already have the location in mind: it’s the first place we went to catch Bai Tiao, a spot with beautiful scenery and tranquility.
A complete set of fly fishing gear and the cost of the Fishing Box would nearly consume half a month's salary for Old Lin! We can’t squeeze him too hard right now; he needs some money left over to take Mo Fei out for meals and movies. Let him enjoy a little sweetness first, and then we can gradually increase the pressure!
As I felt a tug on the line, I pulled up the rod but couldn’t move it! With my eyes closed, I gripped the rod and sensed no movement on the line. It must be snagged on the bottom! But wait, this rhythm doesn’t feel like a fish at all! It’s more like a boat engine!
When I opened my eyes, I realized I wasn’t mistaken; a small boat was approaching. Onboard were three girls, with Li Ziyu standing right at the front.
“How did you get back by boat? Where’s the car?” Shi Tian asked, puzzled as the boat docked.
Li Ziyu couldn’t have come to pick them up from the airport without driving.
“The car is with Cong Shixiong. We had a few drinks and couldn’t drive, so we had him take us over by boat! Perfect timing; you can accompany me to get the car back later and stop by to buy some groceries. We’ll cook something for you when we get home!”
Jumping off the boat, Li Ziyu casually declared her authority in front of Shitian, Eleven, and September.
“Do you want me to take you grocery shopping? We need ingredients for dinner? Just make a list of what you need; I’ll call the hotel ahead of time, and they’ll deliver it in no time. That’s one of the perks of living in this villa area.”
“I’ve snagged my hook; let me reel it in first before we go.” Li Ziyu had just brought them over; she couldn’t leave them hanging here, so she had to make arrangements for them first.
After a brief introduction among everyone, Li Ziyu took Eleven and September to check out their coffee shop and Cold Drink Shop while Shi Tian hopped onto the Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell boat to head out to sea and retrieve his hook.
“How’s the bite today? I’ll come over later for a bit of fishing too!” As Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell turned the boat towards Hai Li, he casually asked Shi Tian.
He had set up several Fishing Platforms at his place, but compared to this spot, they were lacking significantly. He hadn’t caught even one or two bites all day; it made him hesitant to open those platforms to others.
“Just got here, but within half an hour I caught a Xiao Yu weighing just over a pound!”
“A Large Yellow Croaker!”
Upon hearing that someone had caught a Xiao Yu weighing just over a pound, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell felt somewhat fortunate. However, upon hearing “Large Yellow Croaker,” he couldn’t help but curse under his breath!
The market price for wild Large Yellow Croaker isn’t high; during this season, it goes for about ten dollars per pound if it weighs over a pound. But once it’s prepared as a dish in his restaurant, it could fetch two thousand dollars per pound!
Having caught two fish in three days made Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell envious of Shi Tian's efficiency.
“Why are there so many fish biting here? At my place, I’ve thrown in plenty of Wo Liao but still only caught three or four Xiao Yu. No matter how I cast Xia Zhuang, it’s useless!”
Shi Tian's fishing success made Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell green with envy. The same sea, similar Fishing Spots, yet he couldn’t attract any fish at his location. He was even considering inviting Yi Laotou over to check his feng shui!
The river flows into Haikou, and since this area has a bend in the bay, its geography naturally attracts fish. Plus, there have been people releasing Live Shrimp here lately; occasionally someone is baiting as well, which keeps the fish around! Feeling smug about that thought, I tugged on my line and finally reeled it in.
As we returned to shore by boat, changing to a new hook just as Shi Tian was about to call it a day, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell immediately stopped him: “Leave me your rod; I want to fish for a bit longer. You can take the boat back later! I’ll call them to send a boat over to pick me up!”
As Shi Tian waited for Li Ziyu to arrive, the small boat set off from the port, and Li Ziyu began to give instructions.
Shiyi was brought along to heal her emotional wounds, which were difficult to mend and made life feel unbearable. They planned to escape the sorrow of Kyoto and enjoy the beauty of Sanya's landscapes. Li Ziyu specifically reminded Shi Tian to be cautious around Jiu Yue, advising him not to provoke her in any way.
They stopped by Red Sand Wharf to buy a pile of seafood before returning to Anyou Town, where they picked up Shiyi and Jiu Yue and headed back to Li Ziyu's villa. Shi Tian quietly slipped into the kitchen.
As soon as the lights turned on, it was like the sound of a battle horn. In the neighboring villa, Shi Ye and his companions had been waiting for a long time, ready to spring into action.
"Xiao Tian is back, right? Did you confirm it?"
A screenshot from the monitoring room showed Xiao Tian driving back, confirming their return. "Let's move quickly!"
In a moment, they would head to the store. "Lao Shi and Old Yun will be my responsibility to distract. If they don’t cooperate, you two go inside while I stay outside to prevent them from returning and causing trouble!"
As they assigned tasks, the group took the elevator down to the underground garage. The headlights flickered on as they vanished into the vast night.
