"Hypocrite, miser, do you dare to compete with me in fishing?!"

After receiving the installed fishing gear, Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an with contempt with her big black eyes, expressing her indignation at Zhu Ping'an's quarrel with her just now. She pouted her rosy and delicious little mouth and launched a fishing battle with Zhu Ping'an.

"I've moved on, but you're still holding a grudge against me. Who do you think is petty?" Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the indignant Li Shu.

"You, a boy, are arguing with a girl like me, and you still say you are not stingy!" Li Shu said coquettishly, pouted her lips and showed Zhu Pingan a little finger at the right time.

Uh, what kind of logic is this? It's so far-fetched.

"Hey, do you dare to compete with me in fishing?" Li Shu asked again.

"If a boy like me competes in fishing with a girl like you, wouldn't it make me look too stingy?" Zhu Ping'an shrugged slightly, using his own spear to attack his shield.

"Coward." Li Shu pouted and waved her pink little fingers in front of Zhu Ping'an, "You don't even have the courage to compete with me in fishing. You are such a coward."

Just like a proud little hen!

It felt exactly like a little hen proudly proposing to compete with an eagle in flying.

"I'm afraid you can't afford to lose." Zhu Ping'an flexed his wrists. It seemed that he was successfully provoked by Li Shu, the dark and arrogant girl.

"It's still uncertain who will win or lose." Li Shu pouted.

The sun is shining brightly and the sea is relatively calm. The warm sunshine sprinkled on the sparkling sea surface is like a piece of green silk embroidered with golden flowers. Fish occasionally splash on the sea surface. It is probably because the ocean currents bring nutrient-rich salts here, resulting in abundant plankton, which is delicious bait for fish. Therefore, the fish resources in this bay are relatively rich. It is spring now, the weather is getting warmer, the water temperature is rising, and the fish that have overwintered begin to look for food. It is the peak season for fishing.

The weather is right, the place is right, and the people are right. It's a good time to go fishing.

After an hour of trying to see who could catch the most fish, and reaching an agreement, Li Shu and the maid Baozi chose a spot on the deck, eager to try.

Of course. Although it is the same as fishing, the treatment is different.

Li Shu was fishing and enjoying the other maids' clothes. A soft couch covered with mink fur was moved to the deck railing by several maids. Next to the couch was a table filled with fruits and tea. A curtain similar to a parasol was set up on the couch to prevent the sun from tanning Li Shu's white and tender skin.

The little maidservant Baozi could still follow around, but Zhu Ping'an could only sit on a chair in the sun and fish miserably. However, it was only April now, and basking in the sun was a kind of enjoyment for Zhu Ping'an.

The waves, the beach, the parasols, and the two girls in ancient costumes under the parasols are interesting no matter how you look at them. This kind of scene is not seen in modern times. However, it would be more interesting if the two girls were wearing bikinis, hehe. Zhu Pingan thought with some evil taste.

"There's no place for you here." Li Shu, who was under the curtain, saw Zhu Ping'an looking over, and quickly moved her little butt inside, occupying most of the soft couch. Just now, she saw that this was the place where the most fish were flipping. You know, if you win, you can make any request.

whocares

Zhu Pingan shook his head indifferently, then lowered his head and began to fiddle with his fishing gear. He had wanted to fish at the seaside for a long time, and today he finally realized it. In the past, Zhu Pingan also hung out on fishing forums and drooled over the results of other people's sea fishing. He also read the experience of others after sea fishing. He was not unfamiliar with sea fishing. As for fishing, he was even more familiar with it. He had fished more than once in Xiahe Village, so he could be considered experienced.

When I bought the fishing gear, I told the shop owner that I was going to fish in the sea, so the hooks, fishing lines, fishing rods and floats were relatively thicker and heavier. They were more durable. There were two kinds of baits, one was homemade bait from the shop, and the other was earthworms.

Li Shu hated earthworms, so she and her maid Baozi used the store's homemade bait, which was relatively more beautiful. Zhu Ping'an used earthworms.

After adjusting the height of the fishing float, Zhu Pingan cut the earthworm and placed it on the fishhook, then threw the fishing rod over the railing. The fishing line drew an arc and landed five meters away, and the fishing float successfully stood up.

The sea is sparkling, and the red fish floating on the blue sea is very eye-catching.

After seeing Zhu Ping'an successfully start fishing, Li Shu and the maid Baozi were obviously panicked. They were a little flustered when placing the bait, and almost got tangled together when throwing the fishing line into the sea. Although the cast was a little close, it was finally successful.

In fact, fishing experience is one aspect, but it is undeniable that luck is also a very important aspect.

Really, luck is important in fishing.

In terms of experience, Zhu Ping'an can definitely leave Li Shu behind by more than a hundred streets. Zhu Ping'an knows all about "fishing in a grass nest with your back to the wind, fishing without grass facing the waves" and "sun halo means rain at midnight, moon halo means wind at noon. Sun halo is good for fishing, while moon halo is a waste of time". However, perhaps Li Shu has better luck.

Li Shu’s fortune is truly extraordinary!

When Li Shu clumsily threw the fishing line into the sea, the float had just stood in the sea when it began to move.

Zhu Pingan felt it was a little unbelievable. This black-bellied and arrogant girl's luck was really extraordinary. Li Shu was not far from Zhu Pingan. Zhu Pingan could see Li Shu's movements at a glance. He clearly saw that the fish float started to move as soon as Li Shu let go of the line.

Grasping the timing of lifting the fishing rod is the key to successful fishing. When the float starts to shake, it is mostly because the fish is testing whether it is safe or because the fish touches the fishing line. It is not the time to lift the rod.

However

Li Shu didn't care. When she saw the float shaking, she jumped up happily and shouted, "The fish is hooked. Haha, Zhu Ping'an, you are doomed to fail."

After saying that, Li Shu excitedly lifted up the fishing rod.

In response to this, Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly. This was not the right time to lift the rod. Moreover, Li Shu was too inexperienced at lifting the rod. If she lifted the rod so quickly, even if the fish was hooked, it would easily cause the fish to get off the hook due to the strong force.

So Zhu Ping'an was disdainful of this.

However, Zhu Ping'an's disdainful expression froze halfway through, and he uttered speechlessly, "Damn it."

In Zhu Ping'an's sight, Li Shu, the black-bellied girl, like a rookie, lifted the fishing rod so hard that it bent in an arc, and then a splash appeared on the sea surface. Then a big, lively fish was thrown onto the deck by Li Shu, and happened to fall not far from Zhu Ping'an's feet. It struggled and swung its tail, and its silver scales sparkled in the sun.

"Oh, I caught a fish, a really big one." Li Shu shouted excitedly, and the little maid holding Baozi jumped up. It was like two little hamsters hugging each other, so cute, and the sound was indescribably sweet.

The fish was not very big, only about half a pound, but Li Shu was very excited, as if she had caught the biggest fish in the world.

Perhaps, happiness is sometimes just that simple. (To be continued.)
