Chapter 275 - Fishing (1/2)

Those watery eyes and red cheeks truly was tempting someone to take a bite. Linfeng immediately distanced himself. His ears felt hot and his cheeks had a faint flush on them.

Goodness. His Young Miss's charm was so compelling. His control almost broke down.

Amithabha.

The pair fell silent for a moment as they both tried to calm themselves.

After chanting some Buddhist scripture in his mind, he finally turned to look at his Young Miss with a gentle smile.

”Let's go to the rest house.”

Xiong Zhi nodded, her cheeks still slightly flushing.

They were silent along the way. They had so many things they wanted to say to each other, after a long time. Yet they also both felt satisfied with the fact that the person they were missing was just within their reach.

Just this short moment they spent together inside the car made them drown in so much happiness that their hearts almost could not take it.

Each of them had their own plans for the day which would definitely bring them much more excitement, much more than what they just felt. The two both mentally prepared themselves for what would be coming later.

For these two, the day was just starting.

***

The mountain range, whose peaks were veiled with clouds, appeared as if it was the dwelling of the immortals. In the distance was a large lake surrounded by green open fields edged with trees. The blue skies, the immortal clouds, and the mountains were clearly reflected on its tranquil waters, just like a large mirror.

There were a few exquisitely built pavilions, cabins, and rest houses scattered around the edges of the trees surrounding the open field of the lakeside. They were carefully designed to blend in with the scenic beauty of nature around them. They were the ideal places to escape from the fast paced city life and to enjoy the relaxing scenery and fresh breeze.

This was also the site of this year's last school trip.

The seniors' rest house was separated from the juniors' by a spacious garden with a large open field.

Linfeng first dropped Xiong Zhi to the juniors' rest house. Xiong Zhi had to show her presence to the teachers first to confirm her attendance. Linfeng did the same.

She was already very late and the other junior students were now doing some activities on the lakeside. Their most awaited school trip had already started.

After informing the teachers of her attendance, Xiong Zhi then went back to Linfeng, who was already waiting outside.

Seeing her coming towards him, he offered his hand to her like a true gentleman.

”Let me accompany you to the lake.”

The first part of the trip was to tour the famous temples in this valley. F City was known for its rich history and various temples that stood for several hundred years. Coupled with the natural environment, it was a picturesque scenery even for the high class tastes of these Young Masters and Young Misses from rich and powerful families.

Too bad, Xiong Zhi and Linfeng missed that part as they were a several hours late.

The second claim to fame of this city was the well-protected valleys, lakes, and ponds in every corner. This was the best spot for those who loved fishing, because the lakes and ponds were protected from pollution, thus, the fishes thrived a lot.

Right now, the seniors and juniors were currently engaged with the current activity prepared by the school, fishing. Naturally all tools were prepared by the school. They even hired professional coaches to teach the students how to use the fishing rod, which bait to use, and other fishing related knowledge.

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng arrived just when the teacher in charge of the activity was announcing the current scores of the teams.

”The seniors' team, Zhian and Company, currently has six fishes! The juniors' Team C has eight fishes! And the mixed group Fantastic Four, has—wow! They have thirteen fishes! Fantastic Four is on the lead” The teacher in charge was excited as he announced the number of fishes caught by the top three leading teams.

This was a small fishing competition prepared by the school. Four members can form a team, and they can choose their members from any classes or levels, there were no restrictions. The school happily encouraged this to allow the students to take the chance to mingle with other people aside from their own class.

Currently leading in the competition, the most outstanding team was the group of Fantastic Four which had the highest lead amongst all teams.

”The competition is still far from over! Get hold of your fishing rods!”

”Just how was the Fantastic Four able to get such a high lead? Is there a master in fishing in that group?”

”Guys, we can do it! Here, try this bait!”

The lakeside was bustling with cheers and laughter.

'Fantastic Four?'

Xiong Zhi's ear twitched when she heard the name of that group.

Just who was so tasteless as to choose such a lame name?

Somehow, a certain figure of a lively girl appeared in her mind. There was a major possibility that that person was the one to think of such a name.

The person overlooking the score of Fantastic Four Team raised a placard with '2' written on it.

”Wow! Fantastic Four caught two fishes consecutively! Just what is their secret?” After saying that, the teacher finally could not help going to that team. The other students who chose to watch the competition also followed the teacher.

”Do you want to take a look?” Linfeng asked Xiong Zhi.

She looked up at him thoughtfully. Honestly, she wanted to stay with him and spend the entire time with him alone. She inwardly wished for the activities prepared by the school to finish quickly so that the free time for the students would quickly arrive.
