Twenty minutes later, he switched to a long-handled Marusei large hook and baited it with worms. Today, he didn't have high expectations—catching six or seven Huang La would be enough for a pot of stew!
After more than ten minutes, Old Zhou had his hands tucked into his pockets again; it was still a bit cold. Another twenty minutes passed, and his hands warmed up. He pulled out a cigarette and offered it to Shi Tian.
"What kind of fish do you want to eat? Uncle will go buy some for you. It's getting dark; let's not freeze here!"
He lifted his rod, and a Huang La came up. He unhooked it and placed it in the keep net, exhaling warm breath into his hands.
Baiting the hook again, Shi Tian turned to Old Zhou and said, "Uncle Zhou, fishing is way better than buying fish! The river is right in front of your house; you must know how to fish! There’s another rod in the car; why don’t you grab one so we can fish together for a while?"
Hearing Shi Tian invite him to fish, Old Zhou shook his head decisively.
"There are plenty of fish left; you want to make One Pot, Three Provinces, right? You need Jiao Jiao Fish? I’ll go grab a cast net and throw a couple of nets for you; that should be enough!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Zhou turned around and soon returned with a cast net. He watched as Shi Tian pulled up another Huang La. This kid was quite efficient at fishing!
"Here, pack up your Fishing Rod. There are fish right in front of your Rod; I’ll throw the net there. One throw should be enough!" After adjusting the net's edge, he turned to Shi Tian and said this before getting ready to cast.
The cast net was indeed useful; wherever he saw fish, he aimed and threw it down. One net would definitely be enough to make a pot of soup.
"Uncle Zhou, we don’t need that; we already have some bites. Just a few more fish will do—at most twenty minutes!" Seeing Old Zhou with the cast net made him feel uneasy. If he threw it down, they might as well forget about catching any more fish today!
"Look at that little girl; her nose is already frozen red! How can you not show some pity? Hurry up and let her go! A single throw will take just a minute; do you really want her to freeze with you for twenty minutes?"
Old Zhou reminded him, and Shi Tian quickly turned around just in time to see Li Ziyu hugging her notebook and staring at him. She looked cold with her neck shrunk in.
"Uncle Zhou, whether we get to eat fish tonight depends on you!" He took off his jacket and draped it over Li Ziyu.
"Xiao Yu, hurry up and start the car to turn on the heater! I’ll pack up my Rod and warm up too; it’s too cold here at night!" He handed the car keys to Li Ziyu. Having gotten used to fishing in Sanya, he had forgotten how cold it could get here at night.
Watching Shi Tian reel in his line, Li Ziyu hurried off to start the car. The warm air wouldn’t come immediately; the engine needed time to heat up—at least a minute or two.
With the Rod packed away, Old Zhou also retrieved the cast net. One throw yielded more than ten fish—enough for One Pot, Three Provinces tonight!
"Uncle Zhou, keep those Carp for tonight too; let’s add a Milk Fish Soup!" After giving instructions, he poured out the two poor Huang La from Yu Hu's catch. They packed everything into the trunk and quickly got into the car to warm up.
As soon as the door closed, the temperature inside the car hadn’t risen yet—it was still quite chilly!
He grabbed Li Ziyu's icy little hands and tucked them under his jacket for warmth. That feeling was simply delightful!
Though they endured some discomfort, at least this opportunity brought them closer together—it was worth it!
Shi Tian realized that he had become a bit foolish. He had been so smooth when teaching Sun Lang how to pursue Su Xueyi, but now, when it came to Li Ziyu, all the strategies he had accumulated had completely slipped his mind. He needed to find an opportunity to review them properly!
"Tian Ge, Uncle Zhou is coming up soon! Be careful not to let him see!" Li Ziyu leaned closer to Shi Tian, her face flushed as she reminded him. She playfully swatted at Xia Shou, but it didn’t budge! So, they could only continue enjoying the moment.
"You’re my girlfriend; what’s the big deal if he sees? Is it illegal for me to warm your Xia Shou?" Shi Tian said confidently, shifting slightly towards the driver’s side to prevent Li Ziyu from leaning too far over.
Watching Old Zhou enter the house with a fish in hand, Shi Tian didn’t rush to get out of the car. However, when he saw Sun Lang standing in front of the vehicle pulling out his phone, he felt a pang of regret for inviting him over for dinner tonight!
"Later, you can drive and buy two bottles of wine. Don’t rush to get out of the car; wait until I finish preparing the dishes and I’ll call you!" Lowering the window a bit, Shi Tian stepped out of the car. This time, their tender moments would have to come to an end here!
