As for Yue’er, she was actually quite nervous. Although she had always participated in competitions with Lin Yang, she was essentially just playing around.
Initially, she didn’t have much of a competitive mindset, only thought it was fun, just following Lin Yang to various beautiful rivers, lakes, and seas, which was very interesting, and she could also join in on fishing, and then enjoy good food and fun outside of fishing.
But over time, she realized that she was indeed participating in the competition.
Yet all along, she hadn’t contributed much in any competition. Though she never said it, deep down she hoped for something.
That was to contribute a little to at least one competition. It wasn’t that she was particularly competitive, but she wanted to be able to help Lin Yang in the competition.
And at this moment, in this competition, she finally achieved it, fulfilling her wish to help Lin Yang.
"Hahaha, Brother Yang, we won!"
Yue’er was immensely happy.
"Haha, that’s right, we won, and it was because the three of us worked together closely."
Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, Lin Yang also felt incredibly joyful.
He actually didn’t care much about winning or losing, and wouldn’t experience much emotional highs and lows from it, but being able to make his companions enjoy and truly participate in the fun of the competition was something truly worth celebrating.
Such a scenario had happened for the first time in the duration of their participation in this event.
Standing aside, Li Xiaopeng was also very happy because his contribution in this competition was indispensable.
Without the Hua Lian and the white carp he caught, their team’s performance wouldn’t have been even in the same league, let alone being first. Even Liu Changgan and Deng Guang’s Team wouldn’t have outperformed them.
Therefore, in a way, it could be understood that he helped Lin Yang defeat masters like Deng Guang and Liu Changgan in this competition.
This gave Li Xiaopeng, who loved fishing but didn’t quite reach the skill level, a great sense of achievement.
.....
As the whole competition ended, Lin Yang and his team once again finished this round in first place.
Of course, this time being first felt very different from before.
Because it was the first time that the entire team collectively contributed to achieve the first place.
After the competition ended, it coincided with dinner time, so the group found a restaurant to eat and chat.
At the dinner table, Li Xiaopeng was noticeably happier than usual, even grabbing two bottles of Moutai to drink a bit.
Seeing him happy, Lin Yang was also glad to join him for a drink.
Honestly, it was the most rewarding day for him since he started competing with Lin Yang.
Although they had always been in the top ranks or even first, riding on Lin Yang’s strong and capable shoulders, he had to admit he was just riding on those coattails, feeling the thrill of good results. Quite a few people even began calling him Teacher Li Xiaopeng.
But deep down, he knew, just like most of the fans knew, the true extent of his capability.
He was merely a regular fishing enthusiast; achieving today’s results and even becoming somewhat known in the fishing field was all because of Lin Yang.
But today, he finally got to let off some steam.
Not that his performance was extraordinary, but in the competition, he truly realized his own value, and today’s first place had his contribution.
After pouring a full glass for Lin Yang, Li Xiaopeng raised his full glass of wine and drank it in one go.
Lin Yang also felt happy for him, subsequently raising his glass.
Yue’er did the same, but her glass was filled with juice, and she smiled as she said, "The three of us should drink a toast because today’s first place also had my contribution."
