Chapter 276 - Fishing who? (1/2)

”Hahaha.”

A low laugh sounded beside her.

Xiong Zhi looked up at Linfeng confusedly. His hand covered his mouth, but sounds of low laughter could still be heard from him.

'Why was he laughing?'

Ah, maybe he was infected by the cheerful atmosphere.

And then like a fool, she found herself staring at his handsome face that was vibrantly lit up with laughter. His eyes looked especially amused.

Linfeng stopped soon after noticing his Young Miss's stare.

”Sorry, I couldn't help it. You look so cute,” Linfeng said with a lingering smile in his voice.

Ah, the Young Miss's shocked -blank eyes- and her vacant -doubting life expression-... was so adorable- funny.

Such an expression on the Young Miss was a rare sight, and the contrast with the jovial people around them could just bring one to laughter.

He chuckled mirthfully again at the memory.

Xiong Zhi smiled as well, seeing him so happy. She did not really understood why he was laughing, but it was fine, as long as he felt happy.

The couple finally warmed up to the lively environment.

”Do you want to try fishing, Young Miss?” Linfeng offered.

”But I don't know how to,” Xiong Zhi said and looked at the front. She had never experienced fishing before. She was actually envy of Tang Xinyang's awesomeness and confidence to feed her dear husband. She wanted to be a reliable wife too.

”Aren't I here?” Linfeng's enticing voice made Xiong Zhi looked at him.

”You know how to fish?” She looked at him with shining eyes.

”Of course, I do. I might not be the best at fishing, but I can teach you how.” Linfeng said.

Xiong Zhi changed her mind.

Ah, it's okay if she can't catch fishes with her bare hands. Her dear Linfeng was here. He would be a reliable husband and she would just stand there acting cute while being fed.

”Alright, I'll gladly accept the offer,” she nodded. She wanted to try it, too. ”But I warn you, I really don't have any idea how to fish. Don't be disappointed if I can't pick it up fast.”

Linfeng chuckled. ”I don't dare, I don't dare.”

They went to the tool area and took two fishing rods, a case with different kinds of bait, a basket of blanket and refreshments, and a bucket where they could put their harvested fish in.

In this activity, everyone was encouraged to fish. The school had generously prepared more than enough materials for everyone. However, for the small fishing competition, one team had to have four members in order to join.

Of course, Xiong Zhi and Linfeng did not have the mind to join the competition.

They wanted to have their own sweet time with just the two of them during this trip.

There were some people like them who simply wanted to spend time in relaxation. Some of them chose to fish with their girlfriends or boyfriends. Some were enjoying fishing alone. Some went fishing together with their friends.

There were a few who found it boring and just watched others while enjoying and taking pictures of the scenery.

The verdant valley they were at was surrounded by lakes, ponds, and creeks. For the prepared activity which was fishing competition, the school chose the biggest lake in the valley.

Since the pair wanted to be alone, they walked further a bit and found a pond devoid of people. It was not very far from the lakeside, but was hidden well by lush trees and greenery. They could have their own world for two people in here.

Linfeng checked the area. The place, although hidden from view, seemed to be well maintained and cleaned regularly as the grassy field was freshly mowed and there were no dead tree leaves lying around. The grass was not sharp but lushly soft.

Still, his Young Miss had a very delicate skin, so he took out the blanket from the basket and spread it out on the ground before allowing his Young Miss to sit on top of it.

Next, he checked the pond. It was also clean and well maintained. He found small fishes, with a few decently sized ones, swimming through the lush aquatic plants in the pond.

This was a good place to fish. He prepared the bait and put it on the hook. He did everything fluidly.

Xiong Zhi watched him quietly. When Linfeng took the fishing rods, she finally spoke.

The surroundings was filled with tranquility and she did not want to break this peaceful mood, so she spoke in a soft voice.

”So you have fished before? I haven't noticed.” In the past, she realized too late her love for Linfeng. She did not had the chance to ask him about his personal life, his experiences, his preferences, and hobbies.

And then in this life, there were so many things she had to deal with. Not to mention, she was not always able to spend her time with Linfeng. Finally, she got her long awaited leisure time together. She wanted to grab this chance to know more about him, the things she did not know.

Linfeng finished preparing the rods. He skillfully threw the bait into the pond.

”Yes, a long time ago.” He sat beside Xiong Zhi.

”When I was ten, my instructors started teaching me how to fish, how to hike, how to dive underwater,” then he remembered something and chuckled. ”—And even how to sky dive. They taught me many activities that our masters might do in the future. They even taught me a lot of survival skills,” Linfeng answered as he passed the other rod to Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi looked at the fishing rod that Linfeng assembled with awe.

”Why do you look so amazed?” Linfeng laughed again. His Young Miss's reaction was somewhat innocent and guileless, contrary to her usual mature look. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she studied the fishing rod with the bait.

He gazed at Xiong Zhi for a moment. An imperceptible light flashed in his eyes. He put his fishing rod down on the prepared stand. He then stood up.

”Here, let me teach you.”
