275: Chapter 275 Fishing 275: Chapter 275 Fishing Ye Shikai found a rather good fishing spot, shaded with water grass and other plants in the pond before him – all hotspots for fish.
Luo Shiqi also quickly picked out a spot.
Ye Shikai expertly baited his hook, got ready, and with a strong cast, the fishing hook landed steadily in the distance.
Although Ye Shikai had Inner Strength, it didn’t help much with fishing, which tested patience and experience.
It was now twelve o’clock.
The afternoon classes started at three-thirty, giving the two an hour of fishing time.
The one with the most fish would win.
In the past, Ye Shikai would often go to the reservoir to fish.
But ever since he joined the military, he hadn’t had the leisure to fish.
He set his rod aside, keeping it still.
Fishing was a matter of patience and also greatly dependent on luck, so being impatient was futile.
Around fifteen minutes later, the float twitched.
Ye Shikai didn’t rush and calmly awaited further movement.
Gradually, the float jerked fiercely, and with swift eyes and hands, he nearly instantly pulled the rod.
He could clearly feel a strong tug at the hook – it must be a big fish.
Ye Shikai forcefully yanked, and a big fish leaped into the air, its scales glistening in the sunlight.
He pulled up the fish and upon closer inspection, it was a big black fish, possibly weighing three pounds, perfect for grilling.
Ye Shikai was quite satisfied with this catch.
Rather than the joy of catching a fish, it was more about the fear of the wager with Luo Shiqi.
However, Ye Shikai’s luck didn’t continue.
His progress slowed, taking a long time for the float to show any movement again.
He glanced over at Luo Shiqi, who quickly landed another catch.
Judging by her technique, Luo Shiqi was definitely a skilled angler.
Ye Shikai hadn’t expected Luo Shiqi, the Underground Queen, to be so proficient — she rarely made a mistake.
Time was nearly up, and Ye Shikai’s bucket only held four fish.
As he watched Luo Shiqi slowly approach, his heart grew tense.
“Here I come,” Luo Shiqi said as she arrived next to Ye Shikai with her bucket, and seeing four fish in Ye Shikai’s, she smiled faintly.
“What a coincidence, I also have four fish,” Luo Shiqi said indifferently.
It turned out to be a tie.
“Wait, be quiet,” Ye Shikai said, focusing intently on the float in front of him that had just twitched.
He had to seize the opportunity.
Three, two, one — Ye Shikai pulled hard, and a big carp sprang out of the water, so large that it surprised both of them.
“Haha, I have five now, I win,” Ye Shikai was elated, having caught a “lifesaver fish” at the last minute.
“You lose the bet, you honor it.
Hand over your phone,” Ye Shikai said with a smile, planning to quickly explain to Su Ziqing.
But, after several hours, it looked like he might now have to explain it to Su Qingyu instead.
“Here you go,” Luo Shiqi said as she handed over her phone without reluctance, which made him feel slightly uneasy.
Ye Shikai hurriedly took the phone, turned it on, and then, to his dismay, discovered that the phone displayed “No Service.”
Luo Shiqi actually yanked the SIM card out.
“Hey, what do you mean by this?” Ye Shikai asked, having labored to catch fish, only to end up being played.
“It’s a phone, isn’t it?
It doesn’t include the SIM card.” Luo Shiqi glanced at Ye Shikai and revealed a mischievous smile, pulling on Ye Shikai’s arm.
“Let’s go, let’s eat, I’m starving.”
Ye Shikai held onto the phone and lifted the bucket of fish into the car.
These fish would be cooked by the resort’s chef, presumably that person named Sun Li had already arranged everything.
A few waiters escorted the two into a private room, with luxurious decorations that could rival those of luxury hotels in the city center.
The waiter, holding a bottle of red wine, quickly poured some for both of them.
“This resort is officially opening for operations next week.
You’re the first guest,” Luo Shiqi said leisurely after taking a sip of red wine.
that’s quite an honor.
I need to use the restroom,” Ye Shikai found an excuse and slipped into the restroom.
Luo Shiqi had only focused on one aspect, thinking that without the SIM card, it would be useful?
Ye Shikai connected to the resort’s local area network and logged into WeChat.
As soon as he did, he saw lots of messages from Su Ziqing, scrolling down, at first she was just asking where he went, but then, it gradually turned into swearing.
Ye Shikai sent a message to Su Qingyu, explaining the situation.
After a while, Su Qingyu replied with a “hehe.”
Ye Shikai didn’t understand the meaning behind Su Qingyu’s message and sent her a question mark.
He waited a long time for a reply, but she didn’t respond.
With no other choice, Ye Shikai returned to the private room and handed Luo Shiqi’s phone back to her.
“Here’s your phone,” Ye Shikai said indifferently.
“I’m sorry for breaking your phone,” Luo Shiqi said with a smile.
“I’ve already had someone take care of replacing your SIM card.”
“Ah, it’s okay, let’s eat first,” Ye Shikai said.
Then, the waiters served the fruits of their “battle.” The blackfish were cooked into grilled fish, a dish Ye Shikai really enjoyed.
The carp that Luo Shiqi caught was made into carp baked with noodles.
Needless to say, the chef at the resort was quite skilled and the dishes were appealing in both taste and presentation.
“Chairman Luo, the SIM card has been replaced,” a female waiter brought over a SIM card and a phone at that moment.
Luo Shiqi inserted the SIM card into the phone, swiped through it proficiently, then handed it to Ye Shikai.
“I bought a new phone for you.” Luo Shiqi looked at the phone and showed a satisfied expression; Ye Shikai took the phone and examined it closely.
It was clearly the same brand as Luo Shiqi’s, just in a different color—apparently, a couple’s set.
“Do you like it?” Luo Shiqi asked.
After finishing their meal, it was already two-thirty.
Ye Shikai urged Luo Shiqi to hurry back.
There was a class at three-thirty, and the resort was far from Yanjing University.
When they returned, Ye Shikai drove a sports car, speeding like a shot.
Finally, they hurried back to the classroom.
As soon as they entered, Professor Blair came in right behind them.
The two were like high school students who run to school every morning, arriving in the classroom just before the bell rings, then looking back at the slowly approaching homeroom teacher, relieved to say, “Almost late.”
