Hence, Zhai Jing, Little Brother Le, and Father Le stood there as if they were being punished and let her spray sunblock on them from head to toe.
As for Second Brother Le, he was in the entertainment industry. Although he was a boss, he was also a delicate boy, so he had already tidied himself up.
There was also Grandpa Le and Grandma Le. Because they were too old, they were not suitable for this fishing activity. Papa Le had hired a guide in advance and asked him to take the two old people to the aquarium.
After they were ready, the group boarded the ship and set off. The fishing boat drove for about an hour and a half before they arrived at their destination.
!!
Papa Le looked into the sea from the deck and saw the school of fish swimming past the boat. He was instantly excited and said boldly,
âIâll buy lunch today! Iâll guarantee that youâll be able to eat the freshest and most tender Shiban fish and big yellow croaker!â
After Papa Le made his bold statement, he took out a chair and swung the fishing rod down. Then, he sat down and waited for the stone-spotted fish and the yellow croaker to bite.
âDad, do you think Iâm reliable?â Le Wan poked Second Brother Le.
Second Brother Le was wearing a pair of brown sunglasses. His gaze shifted from the sea to Papa Le.
âDo you know what dadâs best result was in fishing?â
Le Wanâs eyes lit up. âWhat is it? Did he fall into a bluefin tuna or something?â
When Second Brother Le saw Papa Le suddenly glance over, he said in a low voice,
âItâs fish. I caught fish three times in a row.â
âThen why was he so confident just now?â Le Wan was speechless.
Second Brother Le didnât think much of it.
âWhich fisherman isnât confident and doesnât have a tough mouth?â
Papa Leâs sharp ears heard their conversation and he immediately disagreed.
âThe most important thing in fishing is not the fish, but the process of fishing. So, it doesnât matter whether you catch a fish or notâ¦â
He was rambling on when Le Wan suddenly pointed at the buoy on his fishing rod.
âIt moved.â
Papa Le turned around and saw the buoy being pulled. He immediately squatted down excitedly to retract the rod.
Le Wan shook her head. Didnât he just say that the result of the fishing was not important? He was so excited when he saw the fish take the bait. In the end, he didnât mean what he said and was just trying to save his dignity.
Papa Le retracted the rod happily.
âLook at the resistance. This fish looks big.â
Hearing Papa Leâs words, everyone gathered around him.
âJust wait and see. If itâs big enough, just this one alone will be enough for lunch.â
Le Wan was also excited. âCan we catch tuna? I like to eat tuna.â
When he was almost done with the fishing rod, Papa Le raised his hand and lifted the fishing rod. A black ball jumped out of the water. It was a large ball of seaweed. There wasnât even a small shrimp on the map, let alone tuna, grouper, or yellow croaker.
The scene fell silent. The smile on Papa Leâs face froze. He sat down in silence as if the smugness from earlier had never happened.
Mama Leâs heart ached when she saw him like that. She immediately sat beside him and comforted him,
âThis is only the first pole. Just treat it as a warm-up.â
Papa Le was obviously aggrieved.
âItâs just a bunch of seaweed. Why does it have to move around? Itâs really like a fish taking the bait just by pulling the buoy.â
When Mama Le saw this, she immediately went forward and hugged his arm. When Le Wan saw this, he held Zhai Jingâs hand and led him to the other end of the deck.
As soon as Little Brother Le saw Le Wan, he wanted to follow her, but he was pulled away by Second Brother Le and brought to another side.
Le Wan squatted on the deck and looked at Zhai Jing, who was feeding the fish on the hook. He had a serious expression on his face.
âI donât think weâll be able to eat the fish that my father caught this afternoon. It seems that Iâll have to rely on you.â
Zhai Jing was a little embarrassed and wanted to facepalm. However, he realized that his hands were covered with fish feed and had to give up.
âI havenât really caught any fish before. Iâm afraid I wonât be able to catch one.â
So, it was better not to have too much hope in him.
Unexpectedly, Le Wan clapped her hands and said,
âI heard that thereâs a newbie protection period for those who have just started fishing. They can catch any fish they want. Hurry and try it.â
When he heard Le Wanâs words, Zhai Jing felt a little hopeful. Hence, he followed Papa Leâs lead and sat on the small folding stool to cast the hook.
Le Wan squatted beside him, her eyes fixed on the buoy. As she squatted, she felt her legs getting sore, so she sat down. As a result, her legs became numb, so she had to stand up again. However, the buoy didnât move at all.
