Chapter 28: Touching Her Head

His sleeves rolled up, his biceps revealed subtle muscle lines, not exaggerated, but full of tension.

He stood with his back to her, his posture tall and straight, piercing the clouds and illuminating the surrounding area, like a celestial being, like a god.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yanzhou turned around and saw the girl staring into space, holding a sunshade to cover her face, preventing him from noticing she was watching him.

Lu Lin came over to take over the fishing rod, and a servant brought over a plate of fruit, placing it on the glass table beside Shen Muyan.

“Qin Xian, when are we going fishing?”

Shen Muyan sat up from leaning against the table, bouncing to the side, her skirt swaying in the breeze as she moved.

“We’ll start in a bit.” Qin Yanzhou’s eyes held a gentle smile as he answered.

“Okay, great!” Shen Muyan only then noticed the difference in their heights, sighing softly. Even on tiptoes, she could only reach Qin Xian’s chest.

Qin Yanzhou chuckled, watching her with amusement. “Why are you so surprised?”

“I’m not that short, I’m just a little bit shorter than you.”

“A little bit.”

“Wow.” The girl exclaimed, then suddenly remembered something.

“Okay, the sun is strong, you should go back to the shade.” Qin Yanzhou walked over to her, noticing that she couldn’t help but raise her head, allowing him to touch her hair.

Her hair was soft and silky, the strands were fine, slipping through his fingers.

“It’s so smooth.”

After moving further away from the shore, Qin Yanzhou stood beside the fishing rod, ready to cast his line. His sharp eyes focused on the bobber floating on the water, like a lion eyeing its prey, exuding an aura of a king.

Shen Muyan, wearing her sunshade, stood by the side, holding a glass of freshly squeezed juice. She was filled with anticipation and curiosity.

It didn’t take long for the bobber to suddenly sink.

“Stand back a little.” Qin Yanzhou glanced at her, pulling in the line.

The fish was definitely big, you could see the line was taut, as if it could be cut in half.

He exerted force with his arm, the hidden muscle lines became more prominent, his wrist bones protruded, and veins bulged, but his expression remained calm and composed, determined to win.

Lu Lin held a net, ready to catch the fish. Qin Yanzhou treated the fish purely as prey, without any hesitation, a hint of a smile played on his lips, his sharp brows slightly raised.

The fish struggled, it flipped and twisted.

Until it ran out of strength, and fell into the net.

“It’s a marlin!”

Shen Muyan watched as the several-pound fish was caught, Qin Xian didn’t even break a sweat, it was like he hadn’t done anything.

“If it were me, I would definitely be out of breath and gasping for air.”

“Qin Xian, you’re so amazing!” She couldn’t hide her admiration, standing in the shade, she removed her sunshade, her long hair fluttering, blocking her vision.

She put down her juice and took out her phone to take pictures.

“Want to try?” Qin Yanzhou offered with a smile.

“But I don’t have the strength to pull it up.” Shen Muyan knew her own limits.

“It’s okay.”

“Try it~.” Her smile was like the sun, sparkling with warmth and radiance, her skin was fair and flawless, her features were delicately sculpted, her cute oval face had two perfectly placed dimples.

After baiting the hook, she cast the line, letting it drift gently, attracting the fish.

After a while, another fish took the bait.

Shen Muyan stood by the fishing rod, at a loss, she didn’t know how to use this.

“Turn it here.” Qin Yanzhou pointed to the reel, patiently explaining.

They were quite close, the gentle breeze brushed past, her untied hair gently fluttered against her chest, their height difference made it so that from behind, Shen Muyan was enveloped in Qin Yanzhou’s embrace.

She turned the reel, at first it was fine, but when the line tightened, she turned her head and looked at him, asking for help.

If she let the fish pull the line, it would tear the hook off, and she wouldn’t be able to catch it.

Qin Yanzhou didn’t hesitate, his palm rested on her back, gently holding her.

She leaned closer, her back pressed against his warm chest, her breath hitched, Qin Xian’s solid physique gave her a sense of stability, he was incredibly steady.

“Don’t let go.”

Qin Yanzhou paused for a moment, gently pulling the line, the girl pressed closer and closer, her bewildered mind was filled with a slight heat, the cause of which was unclear.

“I didn’t let go.” Shen Muyan innocently refuted, admitting it.

His two arms brushed against her, her skin was so soft, like a peeled egg, Qin Yanzhou felt like he could easily hurt her, so he lightened his grip.

Later, he simply let Shen Muyan loosen her grip, keeping a distance while they worked together.

She was obedient, she loosened her grip, but instead of moving away, she stayed by his side, just like before, standing between his two arms.

“Your frame is in the way.”

Qin Yanzhou said, his black eyes moved, his gaze deepening, he continued to maneuver the fish.

Lu Lin, without any instructions, didn’t dare to look too closely at the interaction between the two, he just felt that their closeness was unprecedented.

Qin Xian had never been so gentle and caring towards any girl before.

“This distance is fine, it’s not like anything is going to happen.”

Qin Yanzhou’s skills were impeccable, the fish couldn’t resist him, it could only be obediently reeled in.

After Shen Muyan took some photos, she released the fish.

“The fun of fishing is in the process, not the catch.”
