Chapter 113: No More Fishing Without Catching Anything

Sure enough, when picking up Liang Zhirou, this silly girl, knowing Chen Mo would be coming, instinctively stood at the passenger door for a moment before realizing her mistake and opening the backseat door.

Upon seeing Chen Mo, she tilted her head in confusion.

At this time, Chen Lu slowly spoke, “Come to the passenger seat, it’s reserved for you.”

“Ah? Oh…”

Liang Zhirou was stunned for a moment, then obediently sat in the passenger seat.

“I thought Xiao Mo would be sitting here.”

“As long as you’re here, this is yours.” Chen Lu said softly, one hand on the steering wheel, the other lowering the sun visor in front of the girl.

Liang Zhirou lowered her head, embarrassed to respond, quickly suppressing the inexplicable sense of pride that had risen in her heart.

Chen Lu turned to look at the girl, “Speaking of which, did you ask Lin Miaomiao?”

He didn’t send a separate message to Lin Miaomiao, but instead told Liang Zhirou as a suggestion.

Whether this silly girl would be jealous or not, he had to eliminate that possibility.

Secondly, it was better to give this favor to Liang Zhirou, he didn’t need it.

“I asked, she seems very touched.” Liang Zhirou recalled Lin Miaomiao’s excited voice on the phone, and responded softly.

Chen Lu nodded slightly, “Then let’s go pick her up.”

Chen Mo leaned his head between the two, like a curious child, constantly asking, “Who is that? Could it be my sister-in-law’s best friend?”

“Well, you should…get along with her very well.”

Clearly, Liang Zhirou had completely given up trying to stop Chen Mo from calling her sister-in-law.

Because it was completely useless, these siblings were both the same, she couldn’t handle them at all.

“Is there something like that?” Chen Mo found it strange.

Chen Lu sighed, regretting not bringing earplugs, “Yes, you’ll know soon enough.”

Lin Miaomiao had applied to stay at school and was still living in her dorm. Chen Lu turned the car towards the school.

Half an hour later, the car stopped near the school gate.

Lin Miaomiao, hearing that they were going fishing, had specially dressed in a T-shirt and denim shorts, and even wore a baseball cap, looking very neat and take the initiative to sit in the back seat of the car..

“My parents almost came to Hangzhou to find me, it’s the downside of being an only child.” Lin Miaomiao started complaining as soon as she sat down, “I talked them out of it last night…”

She realized someone was sitting next to her and was startled, staring blankly at Chen Mo.

Chen Lu saw this through the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but smile, “This is my sister, she’ll be a senior after summer vacation.”

Oh my…

Lin Miaomiao sighed in her heart, she only felt that Chen Lu’s family had good genes.

This little girl is really pretty.

“Hello, sister! My name is Chen Mo! My sister-in-law showed me your drawings earlier, you’re so talented!” Chen Mo grinned at Lin Miaomiao, even proactively opened his WeChat QR code, enthusiastically.

“Hello.” Lin Miaomiao’s mind hadn’t caught up yet, “My name is Lin Miaomiao.”

“Your name is so beautiful.”

Chen Mo said with a smile, then tapped the screen, quietly setting a nickname for Lin Miaomiao.

“Six Water Sister.”

Chen Lu curled his lips and sighed lightly, the ancients said there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

Now it seems social anxiety is the same, two socially anxious people together, there must be a most socially anxious one.

It seems his little sister won, and he, as her older brother, wasn’t happy about it at all.

Lin Miaomiao chatted with Chen Mo for a few sentences, then said to Chen Lu, “I suddenly got inspired last night and changed the style of the settlement interface, you take a look later.”

“No problem.”

Chen Lu was a little surprised, “Why are you so enthusiastic? Didn’t I tell you guys to rest for a couple of days?”

“Because I like this environment.” Lin Miaomiao said matter-of-factly, “I was already afraid of being bullied at work in the future, if I can stay here working in the future, it’s pretty good. So I have to work hard, I can’t let your studio go bankrupt.”

“Exactly, we’re both being squeezed by the boss anyway, it’s better to be cheap for me and Liang Zhirou.” Chen Lu said with a smile.

Liang Zhirou looked at him blankly, thinking, this has nothing to do with me?

Lin Miaomiao snorted, “If you’re too much of a jerk, I’ll have Zhirou beat you up. Right, Zhirou?”

Liang Zhirou heard this, squeezed her fingers for a long time, and whispered, “I’ll say a few words to him…”

“You traitor who forgets your friends for love!” Lin Miaomiao bit her lip, both angry and amused, and simply slumped in her chair.

At this time, Chen Mo handed her the potato chips in his hand and shrugged, “Love makes people stupid, they’re both stupid. Be understanding.”

“That’s right!”

Lin Miaomiao grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into her mouth, chewing vigorously. In that moment, she felt a certain kind of revolutionary friendship with Chen Mo.

The little girl is pretty and praised her drawings as soon as they met, who wouldn’t like her?

This matter quickly passed, Chen Lu drove seriously, listening to the three girls chat and laugh along the way.

Liang Zhirou was often at a loss for words, constantly seeking help from Chen Lu as Lin Miaomiao and Chen Mo teased her.

She looked so pitiful, it was adorable.

“Miao Miao Jie, you have so many cosplay photos,” Chen Mo quickly joined Lin Miaomiao, staring at her phone. “I’ll try it too after I graduate, like Amiya, Liv is pretty good too.”

Chen Mo puffed out her cheeks, “But I’ll only wear it at home, I’m too embarrassed to wear it out.”

Lin Miaomiao, with the experience of a veteran, said, “It’s okay, everyone is nervous the first time, you’ll get more comfortable later.”

“Your makeup is so good, even light makeup looks so good. I don’t know how to do makeup,” Chen Mo, also a veteran gamer, was completely convinced.

“No choice, I’m forced by reality. If I were as pretty as Zhirou, I wouldn’t wear makeup.”

“Actually, Sister Zhirou isn’t suitable for cosplay, I feel like she’s more suited for ancient costumes.”

As soon as she said that, both of them froze.

Then they both turned their attention to Liang Zhirou.

Actually, it was true. None of the female leads in those historical dramas were as beautiful as her.

They all had a bit of a flamboyant aura, lacking the pureness of Liang Zhirou.

“I… I won’t wear it.”

Liang Zhirou whispered timidly, she could wear it for Chen Lu alone, but wearing it out would be her death.

“How did you two become accomplices so quickly?”

Chen Lu was speechless, he felt like the two of them were just one step away from becoming sworn brothers.

…

The group arrived at the reservoir and started to unpack their gear.

There was one fishing rod for each person, and as for seats, Chen Lu had borrowed two stools from Zhao Ye Ye, the gatekeeper, when he left.

Chen Mo had checked the weather before coming to fish, it wasn’t too hot today, it was even a bit cool by the reservoir.

Although it might be a different story by noon.

Hangzhou’s weather was like that, you just had to accept it.

Chen Lu was staring at the vast lake, lost in thought, when he suddenly felt a cool sensation on his arm.

Turning his head, he saw Liang Zhirou applying insect repellent on him.

The girl insisted on helping him apply it, and only sat down properly after she finished.

“I’ll help you bait your hook,” Chen Lu crouched beside the girl, carefully attaching the bait to her hook.

Chen Mo leaned over with a mischievous smile, “Bro, you wouldn’t be caught fishing without a single fish in front of your girlfriend, would you?”

After all, fishing was all about luck, and a blank was a common occurrence. Why else did people fish for hours and then still go to the seafood market to buy a fish?

“Don’t jinx it,” Chen Lu rolled his eyes at her, “If I don’t catch a fish, I’ll drain this water.”

One hour later.

Chen Lu saw the few fish beside Chen Mo and Lin Miaomiao, and his heart sank.

Even Liang Zhirou had caught one just now.

Then look at the bucket next to him…

He was tired, he wanted to be destroyed.

Why? Was there a newbie protection period for this?

How come Chen Mo could catch fish?!

Chen Lu looked at the calm surface of the water, becoming angrier by the minute.

A bunch of picky fish, only going for the girls’ hooks.

“Bro~ Brother~” Chen Mo called from afar, “Come on!”

“Shut up!”

Chen Lu was even more upset, he turned back and continued to watch his motionless float.

Liang Zhirou gently poked him, “Do you want me to feed you a candy…”

She knew that since her hypoglycemia hospitalization, Chen Lu always carried a few fruit candies with him.

Without exception.

“Okay.”

Chen Lu washed his hands with mineral water and held the candy in his hand.

Before he could hand it over, the girl opened her mouth and took the candy and his fingertip into her mouth.

A few seconds later, the girl slowly pulled away, the wind blew, and Chen Lu felt the slightly moist place on his finger was very cool.

“It’s okay if there’s no fish.”

Liang Zhirou gave Chen Lu a very sweet smile, “You caught me.”
