Shen Zhiyan lowered his head and tidied up the chess pieces, ignoring her.

Ye Caiping glanced at him and continued, "There are also new types of fishing rods with a reel on them."

Shen Zhiyan: "..."

Ye Caiping sighed softly: "Fishing is like going to war; you need a suitable weapon. Only with a fishing rod that suits you can you conquer all the great rivers!"

Shen Zhiyan raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

"Okay." Ye Caiping nodded solemnly. "The day after tomorrow, I'll bring you a new fishing rod and bait. Let's meet at our usual spot."

Shen Zhiyan smiled slightly: "That works too."

New rod and bait? He's become interested in fishing again.

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and he felt like he was back to normal!

Once he got into the mood, he immediately wanted to go to the riverbank and cast a couple of lines: "Come on, let's go cast a couple of lines now."

Is it really necessary to go so fast? Ye Caiping was afraid that if she didn't go with him, he would have to teach her chess again, so she quickly nodded: "Okay, let's go now."

"Let's go to the street and buy a set of fishing gear first."

"Don't you have plenty of fishing gear at home? Why do you need to buy more?"

After a long silence, Shen Zhiyan finally spoke softly, "My fishing rod... was all dragged away by the fish. And the fish basket too..."

Ye Caiping suddenly had a vision—

Imagine Shen Zhiyan finally got a fish on the hook, but then his fishing rod was dragged away by the fish, oh, and the fish basket too.

Then he just stared blankly at the water...

Ye Caiping: "Pfft... Hahahaha!"

Now I finally know why he suddenly lost interest in fishing. Not only did he fail to catch anything, but he also got slapped in the face by the fish!

Your self-esteem was being relentlessly rubbed against the floor by a fish! It wasn't very physically damaging, but it was extremely humiliating.
