So, when the fishing line gets tight, the hook just gets embedded deeper and tighter, right?
â â I canât hold on any longer, this fish has so much strength, I canât do it, my big fish!â Bai Ruoxue had little strength to begin with, and after being dragged around a few times by the fish, she stumbled to the riverside. It looked like she was about to step onto the shallow shore of the lake.
âHere I come, Iâm coming!â Ye Fan hurried over.
âWhizââ
Uhâ¦
(OoO)-
The fish got off the hook.
And Bai Ruoxue sat down on the ground with a dumbfounded look on her face,
staring ahead.
It was indeed a big fish!
But the big fish got off the hook!
Yes, it got off the hook!
âBrother-in-law, this⦠my fish got away⦠itâs gone!â Bai Ruoxue stared at the
lake surface, her eyes becoming dull.
âWuuuu, my fish, itâs gone, wuuuu,â Bai Ruoxue started crying, hugging her
knees.
She cried as if her heart was breaking.
Ye Fan didnât know how to comfort her for a moment.
There was no helping it, he had just arrived beside Bai Ruoxue when the fish got off the hook the next second.
He hadnât even had a chance to switch and lift the rod.
Thisâ¦
If itâs about luck, indeed they encountered a big fish, but it got away!
If you say itâs bad luck, but this was her first time fishing, and she met such a big one. Can you really say thatâs bad luck?
Of course, you canât.
Ye Fan didnât know what to say himself.
Comforting people really isnât my forte.
Now what to do!
Look at it, my cousin is so distressed.
âAlright, stop crying, itâs normal to not have a good grasp your first time, the lake is right by our house. You can come fishing anytime you want, there will be plenty of chances!â
âBesides, itâs your first time fishing and you already encountered such a big
fish. Youâre really quite lucky!â
â â If you keep crying, people will think Iâve done something to you, like Iâve been bullying you!â Ye Fan said softly.
Seeing Bai Ruoxue so upset, he felt helpless.
âBrother-in-law, what you say is very reasonable. Itâs already very good for my first time fishing. Besides, the lake is right by our house, and the fish is in the lake, it canât escape. I will definitely catch it sooner or later.â Bai Ruoxue suddenly stood up, wiped her tears away, and instantly became spirited again.
The change was like night and day from just moments ago.
As if the person who was crying earlier wasnât her at all.
How can someone change their mood so quickly?
I thought it was going to pour, how come after just a few drops, itâs suddenly sunny again?
Look at that, where did this full confidence come from?
Ye Fan was really exasperated with his cousin.
Kind of got the sense that her heart was really big. ââ Brother-in-law, you know, I prayed for a long time before I caught that big fish. I must catch it. The phrase âThe monk can run but the temple canâtâ isnât wrong, is it!â
âBrother-in-law, am I right?â Bai Ruoxue stood with her arms crossed, looking proudly at the lake.
No matter how much that fish runs, it canât escape from this lake.
Hmph, my fish wonât get away.
Iâll just let you go home for a bit, to say goodbye to your family. It wonât be long before Iâll capture you again.
Bai Ruoxue thought to herself.
When Ye Fan heard what Bai Ruoxue said, he instantly reacted.
Turns out, she had been praying for the fish here.
No wonder she had been muttering to herself the whole time; he had heard it for quite a while but couldnât make out what she was saying.
Indeed, such a foolish woman!
Such actions really were astonishing!
âBrother-in-law, am I right, huh? Why arenât you answering!â Bai Ruoxue waited a long time without hearing any endorsement from Ye Fan, and instantly felt unwilling.
Whatâs up with this brother-in-law, anyway!
Why wonât he utter a peep at a crucial moment?
âRight, youâve said quite enough!â Ye Fan chuckled.
My goodness!
This must be torture for me, isnât it?
Forget it, let her fuss over it herself!
Iâm too lazy to bother anymore.
âBrother-in-law, how can you have such an attitude at this crucial time? Youâre just brushing me off. Iâll tell my sister later!â Bai Ruoxue said.
This guy is actually brushing me off.
Unacceptable.
âNo, itâs just that I really believe in your skill, your ability. Look, you caught a big one just starting out fishing. Even though it got away, that still shows youâre lucky. Next time, you will definitely catch this big fish, and it surely wonât escape!â Ye Fan quickly replied.
She kept calling him âbrother-in-lawâ, and Ye Fan was already getting tired of hearing it.
She would keep running to tell his parents or Bai Susu, his wife.
What does this foolish woman want!
It is truly exasperating.
âThatâs more like it. Iâm tired from fishing, Iâm going back to look after the kids!â Saying that, Bai Ruoxue walked towards the villa.
Having lost that big fish, she had no mood to continue fishing.
Sheâd rather go back and play with the babies; they were cuter, after all.
Ye Fan watched Bai Ruoxue finally leaving and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
So tiring!
Dealing with this woman, Ye Fan felt like he was about to collapse!
This woman really isnât an easy one to deal with.
As the saying goes, a woman is trouble, and thatâs not wrong at all!
But troubles vary in size, donât they?
Ye Fan continued fishing.
Zhuge accompanied Ye Fan by his side.
It wasnât until the sun was about to set that Ye Fan packed up and left.
Back home.
Just in time for dinner.
This time at dinner, Bai Susu was missing, but Bai Ruoxue was there instead;
Ye Fan felt oddly uncomfortable with the change.
After eating a bowl of rice, he went for a walk.
Strolling on the lawn, watching the fiery clouds at the horizon, his mood became exceptionally calm.
Just then, the phone in his pocket started ringing.
The moment he saw the caller ID, Ye Fanâs heartbeat quickened and his handsome face softened.
Itâs her!
It was a call from Bai Susu.
just as he was about to answer, Ye Fan thought, how inappropriate it would be to answer so quickly.
This heartless woman, she ran off without saying a word.
And she had that annoying foolish woman come looking for him, what was she really thinking?
He couldnât just forgive her easily; otherwise, who knows what more outrageous things she might do in the future.
You canât spoil a wife too much.
Watching the phone almost hang up on its own, Ye Fan felt an urgency at the bottom of his heart.
To answer or not?
Or should he wait a bit longer?
Just as he was about to answer, the call stopped.
(OOO)-
At that moment, Ye Fan really felt frustrated.
Just as he was thinking whether he should call back, the phone rang again. The sudden sound startled him so much that his phone nearly dropped to the ground, but fortunately, he caught it with his other hand.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Fan answered the call.
âHelloââ Ye Fan was the first to speak.
âYe Fan, itâs Susu. Iâm at the hospital with grandpa right now. Have you had dinner?â Bai Susu said slowly from the other end of the line.
She thought that Ye Fan was mad at her for not answering her calls.
She didnât expect that Ye Fan wasnât mad at her.
That was really great!
Just now, she was so nervous.
She was afraid that Ye Fan was angry and she didnât know how to soothe him.
As long as he answered the call, everything would be easy to discuss.
â1 was so annoyed I couldnât eat!â Ye Fan replied.
He was really angry.
Although he was no longer angry after receiving Bai Susuâs call, and her words warmed his heart, Susu obviously still cared about him.
The situation was exceptional, so he could understand.
But even though he wasnât angry anymore, he decided to pretend a little.
He wanted to make this girl anxious for a bit.
And see if she would dare to take such hasty actions again in the future.
It really was⦠too much!
âYe Fan, I know youâre mad at me, I was too anxious, you know my grandpa is the best to me, I canât just ignore him, so I left without telling you, Iâm sorry, please forgive me this once, I really wonât do this again!â Bai Susu said on the phone.
She really knew she was wrong.
This time, she had been too impulsive.
Despite her resolve to stay calm and collected, she failed to do so.
Sigh.
âSo youâre thinking there will be a next time?â Ye Fan said, feeling delighted inside, and deliberately postured as he spoke.
Hmph, hmph, hmphâ¦
He had to make Bai Susu anxious!
And indeed, hearing Bai Susu apologize and admit her mistake gave him a great sense of satisfaction.
Not bad, not bad!
âReally, Ye Fan, donât be mad, Iâll handle my family issues as quickly as possible, and Iâll try to come back soon. Then you can ask for any compensation you want, anything is fine, really!â Bai Susu spoke again.
She knew that Ye Fan must be terribly worried.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan became even more excited, fantasizing about having Bai Susu wash his feet or serve him during his bathâall of these were not bad ideas.
âYou really mean it, no take-backs!â Ye Fan immediately said.
âBai Susu, you have to remember, the words you say are like water thatâs been poured out, you canât take them back!â Ye Fan warned her again.
This girl had fallen into his trap this time.
Heh,heh!
Of course, with such a complex situation, he would definitely need to visit Bai Susuâs home and face this predicament with her.
Just that, Ye Fan didnât want to tell Bai Susu now.
If he did, Bai Susu would definitely not let him go.
So, it would be better to go quietly on his own.
âReally, I keep my words, Iâll handle the situation here as quickly as possible, donât worry, remember to take good care of yourself, eat on time, and donât be angry anymore!â Bai Susu advised again on the phone.
âDonât worry, remember that you have me behind you, call me if anything happens, your cousin is very well here, she really likes our baby.
âFor the sake of our child and our future together, weâll overcome difficulties together!â Ye Fan said earnestly.
Spouses are essentially one entity. Although they werenât married or had a certificate, in their hearts, they had already recognized each other.
âYe Fan, wait for me!â Bai Susu said..
