Chapter 127 Fishing

There is a Red Leaf Villa halfway up the mountain.

The car couldn't drive through, so we had to park in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain.

The steps go up one after another, winding their way to the entrance of the villa.

Lu Jingyou walked briskly in front. Su Jiaojiao could keep up with him at first, but she couldn't keep up after climbing for a while. She had to climb a mountain just to eat. What kind of place was this!

If she had known this earlier, she would have shamelessly invited him to the snack street to have a bowl of wontons!

Lu Jingyou stopped and waited for her, looking at her with a half-smile: "Don't you run at school?"

The steps are gentle.

It only took three to five minutes to go up.

But at her rate, it would take at least ten minutes.

"Our school has a morning run every day." Su Jiaojiao took a few quick steps to catch up with him. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and her legs felt heavy, as if blown by the mountain wind, but she was too embarrassed to say it. Lu Jingyou slowed down his pace and waited for her, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him into the villa.

As a local, she was not as familiar with this place as Lu Jingyou, an outsider. She thought about it for a long time but still had no idea where she was. Moreover, although she had clearly entered the villa, she could not see any place to eat. Instead, it seemed like she had entered a large garden with rockery pavilions and winding paths. It was simply unbelievable that there was such a place in Jiao County.

After walking a few steps, the view suddenly opened up to a large pond. A group of people were gathered around the pond, fishing with great interest.

"Do you like eating fish?" Lu Jingyou asked her.

"I like it." Su Jiaojiao answered casually.

"Come with me." Lu Jingyou took her around another corner and finally saw the small courtyard hidden in the mountains. It had green tiles and white walls, and several rooms surrounded it in a quadrangle style. Soon a waiter in work clothes came up and took them into the room.

There was a kang in the room, and decorations such as chili peppers and garlic were hung on the walls.

It felt like she was back at her home in Wutong Village.

"You rest here first, I'm going fishing." After Lu Jingyou finished speaking, he put his cell phone keys on the table and walked out with ease. Su Jiaojiao then remembered why he asked her if she wanted to eat fish. Do people here catch fish themselves?

I asked the waiter, and he smiled and said, "No, fishing for yourself is a hobby. If you don't want to fish, you can buy it. The carp here are all caught from the pond, and they are as fresh as if you caught it yourself."

Su Jiaojiao was even more speechless.

It is said that a man remains young until his death. She never thought that Lu Jingyou would come here to fish and ask her to treat him to a meal... He was not like this in his previous life.

The weather in Jiao County was not very hot during May Day.

Especially in the mountains, it is even a bit cold.

Su Jiaojiao touched the kang and found it was still warm, so she sat down. The waiter, a little girl in a red hat, came in and poured water and brought peanuts and melon seeds. Su Jiaojiao asked if the kang could be turned up a little higher. She poked at the switch a few times and said to Su Jiaojiao, "If you feel too hot later, press it a few more times."

Su Jiaojiao looked at the peanuts and melon seeds in front of her, and thought that the person she was having dinner with was Lu Jingyou. She realized belatedly that something was wrong. What exactly did Lu Jingyou mean? It was obviously abnormal, very abnormal, for him to come out to eat alone with her, a high school student.

He likes her?

Definitely not.

She knew Lu Jingyou a little bit. He was a complete workaholic and had no intention of finding a girlfriend at all.

In his previous life, apart from the blind dates introduced to him by his family, he had no scandals. Of course, if he wanted to find a girlfriend, there were plenty of girls waiting for him. He would definitely not be so bored as to like a high school girl.

She is an adult and it is impossible for her to be indifferent to such things. The last time it was because of work reasons, but this time it was obviously not the case. With Lu Jingyou's identity, he would not remember what she said.

She stopped thinking about things she couldn't figure out.

I simply sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside. The terrain here was high, so I could overlook the mountain and even see the parking lot where they parked.

About half an hour later, Lu Jingyou walked in in a good mood. "You're in for a treat today! I caught a six-jin carp. I'll bring it up for you to try later."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Lu is actually an expert at fishing." Su Jiaojiao picked up the teapot and poured him a glass of water. Lu Jingyou stood on the ground and took a sip of tea. "The fish I caught were too small at first, so I let them go. Otherwise, you would have eaten them by now."

"Mr. Lu is really patient." Su Jiaojiao didn't remember that he liked fishing in his previous life. At least during the years she was in Jiahe Group, she didn't hear that he liked fishing. At most, he would have dinner with his college classmates and play basketball or something like that.

"I know there are fish I like in the pond, so I'm extra patient." Lu Jingyou sat cross-legged and handed her the peeled peanuts. His hands were clean and slender, with distinct joints. She took the peanuts from his hand and heard him say, "If there weren't any, I wouldn't even go near the pond. I might as well sit here and wait for them to be found."

Su Jiaojiao just smiled.

He was talking about fishing, and she didn't know anything about fishing.

The steaming hot sauce-flavored carp was stewed for more than half an hour before being served. The carp, cut into pieces, was soaked in a rich soup, sprinkled with green coriander, and a circle of small and exquisite corn cakes was stuck on the edge of the pot.

The taste is very good.

Lu Jingyou kept picking fish bones for her. There was a pile of fish meat with bones removed in front of her, which made Su Jiaojiao feel very embarrassed. "Mr. Lu, I grew up by the sea. I know how to pick fish bones."

"I'm more confident in the fish bones I remove myself," Lu Jingyou said seriously, "Come out with me. I have to ensure your safety. If you get stuck with a fish bone, it will be my responsibility."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I'm an adult and I will be responsible for myself." Su Jiaojiao said, and when she looked up, she suddenly met his gaze. She couldn't help blushing and hurriedly lowered her head to eat fish. She was so embarrassed. She hadn't blushed in front of the opposite sex for many years... She blushed because of embarrassment.

Seeing her blush was rare for Lu Jingyou, so he smiled and changed the subject seriously, "There's one more thing I want to discuss with you. If you don't mind, I'd like to renovate the first floor of Building 16 that you reserved into a model apartment. After all, it's on the first floor, so it's convenient for clients to come and view the apartment."

"Of course I don't mind such a good thing. I'm just curious why Mr. Lu gave me such a big discount?" Su Jiaojiao looked at him calmly. He clearly wanted to help her decorate both the house and the storefront, and she was not stupid. Lu Jingyou didn't look at her and ate the fish on the plate with relish. "I just think that maybe you are the only one who can accept our decoration style."

"What is Mr. Lu's decoration style?" Su Jiaojiao put down her chopsticks, her mood fluctuating. Could it be that Lu Jingyou saw that she was a reborn person, so he took care of her in every way?

If he asked, she would definitely admit it.

If he didn't ask, she wouldn't ask him.

"As for style, it's simplicity. The simpler, the better," Lu Jingyou said calmly. "I understand the decorating style of your Jiao County. You all like to decorate your homes as magnificently as the Guolv Residences, but little do you realize that such decor will quickly become outdated. I don't want Century Garden to end up like that. So, although our decorating style is simple, it will definitely be classic. Even in ten or twenty years, it won't be outdated."

Having said that, Su Jiaojiao didn't refuse: "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

His reasons sounded like they were all about work, and there was no favor owed to anyone.

He wanted to use the outlet room to store construction materials and the house on the first floor as a model room, so there was no need for her to refuse.

Some wool can be plucked, and some wool can be taken over.

Don’t miss it.

After the meal, Su Jiaojiao took the initiative to pay the bill.

It cost eighty yuan for two people, which was not expensive.

On the way back, Lu Jingyou received a call from Qin Shuang, who asked if Su Jiaojiao was with him. Lu Jingyou glanced at Su Jiaojiao and asked Qin Shuang, "What does Director Qin want to talk to her about?"

"There's Fenghua Textile Factory's annual meeting this afternoon at 5:00. I asked her to wait for me at the snack street. I'll pick her up around 4:30." Qin Shuang knew Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou were together as soon as he heard it. He frowned and asked, "Where are you guys now?"
