Chapter 114: Gurgle Gurgle

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, then kissed the girl’s forehead and smiled, “Then I’ll take you home.”

Liang Zhirou had already turned her face away, too embarrassed to look at him. “It’s not possible yet…”

“It’s only a matter of time.” Chen Lu stared at the fishing rod, holding out a hand to intertwine his fingers with hers. “Get ready to be fished out of the river, you won’t be able to escape for the rest of your life.”

He already has such a good girlfriend, why is he still fishing?

He’ll take you home to be his wife sooner or later!

Liang Zhirou blinked her eyes in a daze, “I’m not stupid, I’m not running away.”

“Sister Liu Shui, hurry up and get it! I’m running out of strength!”

“I’m trying! Why is this stinky fish so good at escaping? Wait, what did you call me?!”

“Don’t push me, hurry up and get the fish! I can’t pull it up.”

“Humph, see if you dare to talk nonsense again! Oh my god, it’s too far, I can’t reach it.”

Hearing Lin Miaomiao and Chen Mo’s playful voices from afar, Chen Lu softly asked, “Is fishing fun?”

“Fun.” Liang Zhirou nodded vigorously. Even though she only caught one fish, she was still incredibly happy.

Whether it was going out to play with Chen Lu or being with a group of people, it was something she had never dared to dream of before.

Compared to that, fishing was no longer important.

As the girl thought about it, a happy smile unconsciously curved her lips. She turned to Chen Lu and said, “Do I smile now?”

“Of course, it looks beautiful.”

Chen Lu looked very proud. “Your boyfriend did a good job, right?”

He could still clearly remember the first time he saw Liang Zhirou smile in the hospital.

Before, Chen Lu always thought that human brain memory was not as good as photos, but now he felt that wasn’t the case.

He still remembered that moment very clearly. He could even recall the feeling of time standing still and his heart skipping a beat.

Photos were simply not enough to capture the feeling of Liang Zhirou’s stunning beauty at that moment.

“Hmm!”

Liang Zhirou leaned her head on Chen Lu’s shoulder, smiling with her eyes closed. Feeling the gentle breeze, she wished time could slow down.

If only it could always be like this, she wished Chen Lu would always like her…

“If I can catch fish every day, can I save a lot of money?” After a while, the girl uttered a not-so-smart question.

Chen Lu opened his mouth slightly, speechless for a moment, then slowly said, “Is there a possibility that if you spend the time fishing on work, you can earn enough money to buy more fish?”

The girl finally realized how silly her question was and quickly pursed her lips, stopping herself from speaking.

Chen Lu smiled and poked her head. “Whose girlfriend is so good at managing money?”

Liang Zhirou hummed softly and continued to close her eyes.

It was almost noon now, the sun was climbing higher and higher, making it a little hot.

“Didn’t you put on sunscreen?” Chen Lu asked. He felt that this silly girl probably didn’t, she wouldn’t be willing to buy something like that.

He was careless, he forgot about that, he didn’t buy it for her beforehand.

“No, I didn’t.” The girl replied naturally.

“Be careful of getting tanned, I always feel that girls are more likely to get tanned.”

“Will you still like me if I get tanned?”

“Of course, your personality alone is enough to make me infatuated to the point of no return.”

Liang Zhirou couldn’t help but smile shyly and gently reprimanded him, “You’re shameless.”

This Chen Lu just kept saying nice things. She could see that he was very greedy. She already liked him so much, but it wasn’t enough. This guy wanted her to like him to the point of being obsessed.

Unfortunately, Chen Lu didn’t know that she already liked him very much.

“Plus, you’re so handsome. I dream about how to marry you every day.”

“Okay…okay, keep fishing.”

The girl didn’t dare to listen anymore. Her heart was pounding, afraid that Chen Lu would hear it.

If Chen Lu continued, she was afraid she couldn’t help but marry him right now.

No, she still had a lot of things to do at home, not to mention she wasn’t even old enough.

“The fish here are problematic. They only bite girls’ hooks,” Chen Lu said with a look of resentment.

Suddenly, he remembered something, closed his eyes and muttered softly, “I’m willing to trade Jiang Chao’s ten years of life to catch a fish!”

“Plus, he’ll always get the worst card draws!”

It wasn’t really him being a jerk. Back in the dorm, Jiang Chao had shouted in front of him that he would trade ten years of his life to draw a character.

The next second, he actually got it. He got it with a single draw, the luckiest he’d ever been.

It left a serious psychological shadow on Chen Lu.

After about two more minutes, Chen Lu’s float finally moved. He excitedly stood up and pulled hard.

The fish in this reservoir were quite strong. They struggled in the water for a while.

But Chen Lu quickly realized that this fish was bigger than he expected. Just looking at its strength, it was the biggest one he’d ever encountered.

“Liang Zhirou! Quickly scoop it up!” he shouted excitedly.

“Ah…okay.”

Liang Zhirou had never done this before. She awkwardly picked up the net, stood by the water and reached out to grab it.

She had caught a fish before, but Chen Lu had helped her scoop it up. Doing it herself was a bit clumsy.

Unfortunately, as if it could sense it, the fish kept dodging, staying far away.

Normally, experienced anglers wouldn’t fight a fish like this. They would reel in the line from time to time, waiting for the fish to tire itself out before suddenly pulling it up.

Chen Lu knew this, but seeing the fish constantly dodging, he couldn’t help but fight it, pulling harder and harder.

Liang Zhirou didn’t know that although Chen Lu looked strained and anxious, he was actually secretly thrilled. Seeing him struggling, she became even more anxious.

She stopped at the edge of the water, unable to go any further.

After a while, the fish finally calmed down. The water it splashed was much less than before. Chen Lu pulled it closer.

Liang Zhirou finally had a chance to net it. She bit her lip and pulled hard.

Whether it was because it was tired or because the fish in this reservoir were really all “color fish,” after being netted, it only flapped its fins twice before becoming much calmer.

Only when it was pulled closer did they see how big the fish was. It was almost as big as the ones sold in the market.

Chen Lu’s mouth almost stretched to his ears. He quickly shouted, “Quickly put it in the bucket.”

A fish this big, he’d be bragging about it for a year. Even getting a penta-kill wasn’t this satisfying.

He was sure his old man, who had been fishing for years, had never caught a fish this big.

Liang Zhirou nodded, then tried to put the fish in the bucket. Since she was holding the end of the net, it took a lot of effort.

Just as she was about to put the fish in the bucket, the fish, which had become calm, suddenly started struggling again. She was startled and unconsciously took two steps back.

Then she stepped on nothing.

She blinked without saying a word, not even having time to scream.

“Splash!”

The water, which had been calm for a while, suddenly splashed wildly.
