Chapter 65: Koi Carp · Li Li

"Why is there still a fish here?"

The little girl scratched her head, her beautiful eyes full of confusion.

She couldn’t have guessed that this was the one fish her grandpa, who was very, very good at fishing, spent most of his time catching...

Earlier, Song Qingwan had released all the fish, and when the servant saw the fish bucket was empty, they stopped fishing and put the bucket away.

Because all the buckets looked the same, Lu Li mistakenly thought that her aunt had overlooked a fish.

But it’s fine, luckily she saw it.

The little girl dragged the water-filled bucket to the edge of the pond, planning to release the little fish.

The bucket was quite full of water, making it difficult for Lu Li to drag it to the pond’s edge. Just as she was about to release the fish, the old man, while fishing, coldly scoffed and brought up an old issue:

"You’re not young anymore, yet you still act like a child, making up such lies. I think these fish aren’t fond of that useless little girl; they’re clearly just hungry, and there’s plenty of aquatic grass here, that’s why they came. Hmph, trying to fool me..."

"Dad, I..."

At that moment—

With a "splash," a brightly colored Koi Carp suddenly leapt out of the water, its body tracing a fiery trace in the air, then...

It dove right into the bucket the little girl was dragging...

The old man: "..."

Song Qingwan: "..."

"Splash... splash..."

Immediately followed by one splash after another, as if one by one, the fish in the pond found their savior and jumped into the little loli’s bucket, seemingly escaping from dreadful hell.

Who knows what they’ve just been through!

This old man keeps talking more, and loudly too, better run!

If not, we’ll be deafened by the noise!

So strange, when he used to fish, he wasn’t this chatty!

"Don’t come here," Lu Li was a bit annoyed, "it’s already full!"

She said that, but the fish seemed fearless, continuing to jump into her bucket relentlessly.

Before long, the little girl’s bucket was filled with fish, quite a fruitful catch.

The old man, who was previously disdainful and scornful, now fell silent.

Song Qingwan glanced at him, feeling like the old man was about to fall into deep silence, coughed lightly, shrugged, and quietly said:

"Dad... I told you earlier, these fish really like Li Li... It’s you who refused to believe it, and there’s nothing I can do..."

The old man: "..."

...

Lu Junhan said he’d be back in half an hour, but the things to be addressed in the video conference were too many.

Also, most of those subordinates seemed incapable of understanding human language. The proposal was sent back, revised time and again, and in the end, even with all the rush, it still took a lot of time.

He came out of the villa’s study, striding with long steps to the courtyard, his expression cold, looking towards a certain direction.

On the shore, there was a parasol, a chair, and fishing rods, everything but Lu Li was nowhere to be seen.

The man stood there, slightly frowning his long eyebrows.

Where is she?

Did she fall into the lake?

"Grandpa! Look, another fish has been hooked!"

Suddenly, he heard a familiar, crisp and tender voice, "And here, this rod here is moving too!"

"Alright, right away, I’m coming right away!"

The old man’s voice was still strong and old, but carried a cheerful laughter unlike before, "None of you touch it, I can handle it myself! Wow, this fish is huge! I’ve never caught such a big fish before!"

Lu Junhan raised an eyelid and looked over there.

He saw there was also a parasol set up over there, with five or six fishing rods arranged on the bank.

In less than ten seconds, one of the rods moved.

The old man and the little girl dragging the fish bucket kept running back and forth among the five or six fishing rods.

They would hook the fish, toss them in the bucket, then rush to the next moving rod to continue catching fish, tossing them in the bucket.

Back and forth like this, they were busy and completely engrossed, enjoying themselves.

Lu Junhan: "..."
