Chapter 181 - 132 What are you two doing there! [Large chapter, over 7000 words]_3
She was also a very likable lass.
“Mm, please sit.” Old Master Bai said with a smile.
Several people sat together eating breakfast and chatting.
Ye Fan noticed the absence of Zhao Xiaotian and Fang Dajian. Presumably, the two had drunk too much the previous night and hadn’t woken up yet.
Let it be, he would deal with them once they were up.
After breakfast, everyone began to stroll around the estate.
The scenery of the estate was really good.
Ye Fan was holding Bai Susu’s little hand as they leisurely walked around.
Fang Dajian was also up, holding Jenny’s little hand as they strolled behind Ye Fan and Bai Susu.
Ye Fan’s parents walked behind Fang Dajian and Jenny.
Only Bai Ruoxue was walking alone at the very back, angrily looking at the couples in front of her, feeling like she was the superfluous one, a hundred-billion-watt third-wheel!
It infuriated her!
She immediately ran ahead in a huff, surpassing everyone and taking the lead, leaving others to view her back.
Hmph, she definitely didn’t want to look at their paired-off backs.
“Susu, look at your cousin. I feel she looks quite lonely by herself, so pitiful. Zhao Xiaotian might actually be a good match for her,” Ye Fan said as he watched the figure ahead, speaking to Bai Susu beside him.
“Huh?” Bai Susu sounded a bit surprised.
Uh, (⊙o⊙)…
Now that Ye Fan mentioned it, looking again, she realized that her cousin did indeed seem quite pitiful.
Fang Dajian and Jenny were together.
Her cousin was still by herself, which was somewhat heartbreaking.
What to do?
Out of the three close friends, she was the only one left single.
Bai Susu knew a bit about Zhao Xiaotian, who was actually a pretty decent guy.
If the two of them felt something for each other, getting together wouldn’t be too difficult!
But, matters of the heart are hard to predict.
“You’re right, but emotions are complex, and we can’t intervene,” Bai Susu said.
She looked somewhat troubled!
This was beyond her control.
“True, let’s leave it at that for now. They’ve met, so let’s see how it goes,” Ye Fan sighed.
Matchmaking wasn’t easy!
If not handled carefully, things could get quite awkward.
As they walked and toured around,
Bai Ruoxue stormed off ahead and for a while didn’t look back, but when she eventually did, she realized there was no one behind her!
She was stunned!
What was going on?
Just a moment ago, a whole line of people had been behind her, and now they were suddenly gone.
Feeling very frustrated, she had no choice but to stop.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan and Bai Susu had arrived at the lakeside where they saw Old Master Bai fishing.
The two approached quietly and watched intently.
Bai Zhentian nodded at them without speaking.
After all, any noise while fishing could scare the fish away.
Ye Fan watched earnestly, while Bai Susu simply sat on the grass beside him, basking in the sun.
Old Master Bai and Ye Fan chatted in low voices about fishing.
As they were chatting, Old Master Bai’s fishing float suddenly dipped, and he swiftly lifted the rod, which bent into a curve.
Ye Fan became both nervous and excited.
He quickly took the landing net, standing by Old Master Bai’s side,
keeping an eye on the fish and concerning himself with Old Master Bai’s safety, considering that the latter was over sixty years old and by the lakeside.
“Lucky catch, this fish seems sizeable; it’s putting up quite a fight,” Old Master Bai said, excitedly fighting the fish with a tight grip on the rod.
Catching a big fish was exhilarating for anyone!
Bai Susu had already come to Ye Fan’s side.
Her little face was filled with tension.
She was also concerned about her grandfather’s safety.
‘Grandpa, be careful!’ Bai Susu said anxiously.
“No worries, trust me, I’m an experienced fisherman,” Bai Zhentian said with a laugh.
“Grandpa, I think you’ve almost got it,” Ye Fan said, watching the fish in the water which could now be faintly seen at the surface, seemingly exhausted.
“Almost there,” said Bai Zhentian.
Quickly, as Bai Zhentian raised the rod again, the fish floated to the surface and was pulled in, finally landing on the bank.
Ye Fan scooped it up with the net, lifting the fish onto the shore.
He removed the fish hook
The fish was truly massive!
It had to weigh at least seven to eight pounds.
And what they had was a grass carp.
The flesh of grass carp was relatively tender.
“Haha, it’s caught! This fish will be kept to nourish everyone; what luck,” Old Master Bai said joyfully.
“Today’s luck is indeed good, catching a fish so quickly!”
After all, he had been sitting there for less than ten minutes, and already he had caught a fish—a big one at that, which was quite rare.
“Alright, let’s take this fish to the kitchen staff to prepare for lunch,” Ye Fan said.
Preparing such a large fish would undoubtedly take some effort.
“You two go ahead,” Bai Zhentian said.
“Just be careful,” and with that, Ye Fan carried the fish by the gills with one hand and took Bai Susu’s hand with the other as they headed back.
The ambiance really was pleasant!
Ye Fan couldn’t help humming a little tune.
Bai Susu looked at Ye Fan beside her, her eyes brimming with laughter.
