Chapter 533 - 533 Calm Down
533 Calm Down
Su Xiaolu expirated spiritual energy and circulated her Internal Breath. She also knew that An Lie had been paying attention to her.
However, An Lie did not come again until dawn.
After dawn, An Lie said to Su Xiaolu, “Su Lu, I’m going to prepare breakfast. There’s a fishing rod on the deck. If you’re bored, you can fish.”
Su Xiaolu replied, “Okay, thank you, An Lie.”
She stood up and stretched before walking towards the fishing rod that An Lie had mentioned.!!
An Lie entered the room.
Su Xiaolu took out the fishing rod and looked at the dried fish beside it. She took some and sat on the deck. After hanging the dried fish on the hook as bait, she threw out the fishing line.
Fishing in the sea was also a kind of romance.
Su Xiaolu did not dislike this. In fact, she quite liked it.
Not long after, she felt the hook being pulled down. She knew that a fish had taken the bait. She immediately stabilized herself and slowly retracted the line.
This process was called fish slinking. Some big fish could only be pulled out of the water when they really ran out of strength.
Su Xiaolu was not in a hurry. An Lie came out when he heard the sound. He smiled and said, “Su Lu, you’re really lucky. You caught a big fish on the first try. I’ll cook it for you later. Once it’s out of the water, I’ll cook it immediately. It’ll be especially delicious.”
Su Xiaolu watched as An Lie took a fishing net and prepared to help her fish.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Thank you.”
A black fish emerged from the water and was caught by An Lie with a net. It was not small and weighed four to five catties.
When it landed on the deck, it was still alive.
Su Xiaolu was already hanging the bait again. She smiled and said, “Fishing is quite fun. An Lie, do you use fish as bait when fishing in the sea? Back home, we use earthworms as bait.”
“Yes, fish are used as bait in the sea and small fish are used to catch big fish. If you like it, you can play more. If there’s not enough bait, I’ll make it for you again.”
An Lie picked up the fish and answered Su Xiaolu as he returned to the kitchen.
Su Xiaolu smiled and waved her hand. “Thank you.”
There was not much dried fish for fishing. If she liked it, he would really have to make bait again.
An Lie went to steam the fish. Not long after, a fragrance wafted out.
Su Xiaolu did not catch any more fish later. Many of the bait were bitten, but the fish did not bite the hook.
An Lie called her to eat. Su Xiaolu put away the fishing rod and went into the room to eat.
Breakfast was porridge and steamed fish.
He did not even remove the fish scales.
An Lie explained to Su Xiaolu, “Fish that have just been caught are the freshest. It’s best to steam them without killing them. Just peel off the fish scales when you eat them.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. It did smell good.
Su Xiaolu had only eaten a mouthful of fish and already liked this taste.
An Lie let her eat the entire fish. When she stopped eating, An Lie took the entire fish and ate it.
“Su Lu, the internal organs of this fish are actually the most delicious. It’s not dirty. You can try it next time.”
An Lie smiled at Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu smiled too. “Sure.”
After breakfast, Su Xiaolu went to the deck again and looked around.
An Lie came out after eating and said to Su Xiaolu, “Su Lu, if you’re bored, you can fish.”
Su Xiaolu looked at An Lie. An Lie looked at Su Xiaolu and explained, “There’s nothing fun to do at sea. I’m afraid you’ll be bored. Fishing is actually quite interesting.”
Su Xiaolu smiled. “I see. Thank you. I couldn’t catch anything for a long time just now. I’ve almost used up all the bait. I don’t want to fish anymore. I prefer to sit quietly than fish.”
“It’s okay. I’ll make you bait again. Fishing is like this. Sometimes you catch a lot all the time. Sometimes you might not catch one all day.”
An Lie smiled and went to prepare.
Su Xiaolu sat quietly on the deck. She felt that An Lie was really interesting.
His motive was so obvious. She wondered if he had noticed it himself.
He just wanted her to fish.
Then she would fish.
After the bait made from the dried fish was used up, An Lie fished again to make new bait.
He made a lot of bait, which he carried in a large wooden barrel.
Su Xiaolu went over to fish while An Lie was at the helm.
The fish pieces that were connected quickly stank. Su Xiaolu despised it.
Therefore, she did no catch the fish even when they bit the bait. However, An Lie often came to help. He did not come every time. He was probably afraid that she would be suspicious.
Su Xiaolu was getting less and less interested in fishing. It was obvious that An Lie was still a little worried.
At night, Su Xiaolu did not want to fish at all.
She went back to her room to sleep.
An Lie came to call her for dinner after making dinner.
“Su Lu, these are all caught by you. It’s boring at sea. These fish are too small. It would be great if you could catch a big fish. Not only is it priceless, it can also cure all illnesses.”
As An Lie ate, he threw out the topic and secretly observed Su Xiaolu’s expression.
Su Xiaolu looked at An Lie. “Big fish? What kind of big fish?”
He looked interested, and An Lie also smiled and said, “A big fish like a dragon, as thick as a thigh, golden all over, with horns on its head. This kind of fish is said to be an arowana, a mythical fish.”
“Is that so? I’ve never seen one before. It’s not bad if I can catch it. I’ll try again tomorrow, but if I can’t catch it tomorrow, I won’t fish anymore.”
Su Xiaolu was interested, but she did not have much patience.
An Lie smiled and nodded. “Sure.”
“By the way, when can we reach that place?”
Su Xiaolu asked casually.
“Soon. Two or three more days.”
An Lie replied with a smile.
Su Xiaolu did not ask further. After dinner, she went to bed.
The next day, An Lie called Su Xiaolu up for breakfast.
After eating, Su Xiaolu went fishing.
An Lie had been steering the helm, but Su Xiaolu felt that all his attention was on her.
Su Xiaolu looked at the sea. It seemed that what An Lie wanted was the arowana.
He was unmoved by two hundred taels. It seemed that this arowana was quite valuable. Su Xiaolu had never seen it before, so she cooperated with An Lie.
As soon as Su Xiaolu caught a fish, An Lie would come over to help catch the net. Every time he saw that it was only other fish, An Lie’s face was filled with disappointment.
Su Xiaolu swung her fishing rod. “I’m tired. I’m not fishing anymore.”
An Lie looked a little anxious. “Su Lu, if you continue fishing, you might catch an arowana next time. Maybe you don’t have enough bait, let me help you make a nest.”
An Lie poured down half a bucket of fish with blood and stench and carefully helped Su Xiaolu cast the fishing line.
Su Xiaolu took the fishing rod again. To be honest, she did not quite understand. An Lie also knew how to fish. Why did he insist that she fish?
When the fishing rod sank, Su Xiaolu frowned. She saw that An Lie’s eyes lit up. Without hesitation, Su Xiaolu let go of her clenched hand and let the powerful fish pull the fishing rod into the sea.
