I Transmigrated into a Book and Became the Real Rich Daughter's Pampered Cousin

259 Missed

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,

“I’ll buy lunch today! I’ll guarantee that you’ll be able to eat the freshest and most tender Shiban fish and big yellow croaker!”

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.

“Dad, do you think I’m reliable?” 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.

“Do you know what dad’s best result was in fishing?”

Le Wan’s eyes lit up. “What is it? Did he fall into a bluefin tuna or something?”

When Second Brother Le saw Papa Le suddenly glance over, he said in a low voice,

“It’s fish. I caught fish three times in a row.”

“Then why was he so confident just now?” Le Wan was speechless.

Second Brother Le didn’t think much of it.

“Which fisherman isn’t confident and doesn’t have a tough mouth?”

Papa Le’s sharp ears heard their conversation and he immediately disagreed.

“The most important thing in fishing is not the fish, but the process of fishing. So, it doesn’t matter whether you catch a fish or not…”

He was rambling on when Le Wan suddenly pointed at the buoy on his fishing rod.

“It moved.”

Papa Le turned around and saw the buoy being pulled. He immediately squatted down excitedly to retract the rod.

Le Wan shook her head. Didn’t 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 didn’t mean what he said and was just trying to save his dignity.

Papa Le retracted the rod happily.

“Look at the resistance. This fish looks big.”

Hearing Papa Le’s words, everyone gathered around him.

“Just wait and see. If it’s big enough, just this one alone will be enough for lunch.”

Le Wan was also excited. “Can we catch tuna? I like to eat tuna.”

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 wasn’t even a small shrimp on the map, let alone tuna, grouper, or yellow croaker.

The scene fell silent. The smile on Papa Le’s face froze. He sat down in silence as if the smugness from earlier had never happened.

Mama Le’s heart ached when she saw him like that. She immediately sat beside him and comforted him,

“This is only the first pole. Just treat it as a warm-up.”

Papa Le was obviously aggrieved.

“It’s just a bunch of seaweed. Why does it have to move around? It’s really like a fish taking the bait just by pulling the buoy.”

When Mama Le saw this, she immediately went forward and hugged his arm. When Le Wan saw this, he held Zhai Jing’s 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.

“I don’t think we’ll be able to eat the fish that my father caught this afternoon. It seems that I’ll have to rely on you.”

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.

“I haven’t really caught any fish before. I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch one.”

So, it was better not to have too much hope in him.

Unexpectedly, Le Wan clapped her hands and said,

“I heard that there’s a newbie protection period for those who have just started fishing. They can catch any fish they want. Hurry and try it.”

When he heard Le Wan’s words, Zhai Jing felt a little hopeful. Hence, he followed Papa Le’s 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 didn’t move at all.
