Liang Zhirou, who was thinking that she couldn't swim, suddenly fell on land and was a little dazed.

My wrist still hurts a bit.

It seems she was about to fall, but then she was pulled back...

The girl then realized what had just happened and quickly got up and walked to the shore.

"Chen Lu!"

She shouted loudly, the loudest she had ever spoken in her usually soft-spoken manner.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the water. Only after recognizing Chen Lu did she feel slightly relieved, and her eyes welled up with tears.

He picked up the net next to him and handed it to Chen Lu, afraid that he would have nothing to grab.

"It's okay, I can swim. I slipped when I pulled you." Chen Lu brushed aside his water-soaked hair, revealing his eyes, and smiled at the girl with vacant eyes. "Are you alright? Were you scared?"

He rushed over the moment he saw the girl's foot slip, but he didn't expect that while he managed to grab her, his own foot slipped, and he was thrown out by the inertia.

I just happened to switch places with this goofball.

In this situation, one would normally not be able to react in time. Chen Lu was able to react only because his attention was on Liang Zhirou the whole time.

Unfortunately, because of the difference in elevation, I didn't notice that this silly guy had already stood on the very edge.

Liang Zhirou shook her head and reached out to pull Chen Lu up.

She held Chen Lu's hand, looking him over and over, as if she was afraid he'd been bitten by a piranha, constantly checking him, worried sick. Chen Lu, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, laughing as he looked at the fish he had just caught.

He completely ignored his soaked clothes and the water dripping from his body.

Are you alright?

Lin Miaomiao and Chen Mo ran over, panting, and asked.

"It's nothing." Chen Lu hugged the bucket to his chest. "How did you know I caught a really big fish?"

Liang Zhirou and Chen Lu were both stunned when they saw Chen Mo's appearance. Chen Mo was also soaked to the bone, so he simply took off his hair tie, letting his hair hang loose and wet.

How did these two siblings get so soaked to the bone...?

Lin Miaomiao seemed to understand what Liang Zhirou was thinking and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "She saw you were about to fall in and jumped into the water right away."

"The last thing I saw was her brother who had fallen in, so I went back to the shore."

As she spoke, her smile turned somewhat bitter. "I'm going to learn to swim this summer."

She never wants to experience that anxious feeling again in her life.

Chen Mo ran up to Chen Lu as if nothing had happened, and the two dripping wet people huddled together looking at the bucket.

The water from their hair kept dripping into the bucket, which frightened the big fish into continuing to struggle, while they all grinned.

"This is huge! Hurry up and take a picture!"

"Take the picture now, and post it on WeChat Moments and Fishing Bar later."

"How about we buy a fish tank? In the future, if someone comes to our house, we can just say that we caught it."

"Are you out of your mind? You must have eaten it. This fish doesn't even look good."

Liang Zhirou blinked, looked at Chen Lu and Chen Mo, then at Lin Miaomiao, whose expression seemed inexplicably guilty, and her nose kept stinging.

She felt that she didn't need anyone else to care about her anymore; she was the happiest person in the world right now.

Chen Lu looked up at the sun and said softly, "Let's call it a day. I'm going back to take a shower, and then we'll cook the fish and eat it."

"Yay!" Chen Mo looked at the big fish, becoming more and more excited.

Of course, food bought at the market can't compare to what you catch yourself.

"Little crybaby, let's go."

Chen Lu gently took the girl's hand and said, "You cook, okay?"

Liang Zhirou sniffed, took Chen Lu's wet arm, smiled at him, and said, "Okay."

The group bought a few towels to dry themselves off and then prepared to drive back.

Lin Miaomiao felt too embarrassed to go to Chen Lu's house with him, so she just grabbed a bucket and a fish and went back to school.

As soon as the three of them reached the entrance of the residential area, they saw Grandpa Zhao sitting under the shade of a tree, fanning himself.

"Xiao Lu, you're back?"

Chen Lu smiled and nodded, placing the bucket in front of the other person. "How did you know I caught such a big fish?"

Grandpa Zhao was startled and looked up at him in shock, asking in a deep voice, "Where did you catch it? You didn't buy it at the market, did you?"

"It's Chacaowan Reservoir."

"Come with me when you have time." The more Grandpa Zhao looked, the more excited he became, and suddenly he felt that playing chess was incredibly boring.

"Okay, I'm going home now. My dad still needs to brag about it."

As Grandpa Zhao watched the three figures walk away, and saw Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou's hands clasped together without him even realizing it, he smiled and narrowed his eyes.

It's so good to be young.

Old woman, why did you leave so early? Even your little road, which hurts so much, has found a partner.

He's incredibly handsome, but you can't see it.

......

Chen Guanglin, who was still thinking about what takeout to order, was startled when he saw his son and daughter's miserable appearance. He sat up from the sofa and quickly asked:

"Weren't you guys fishing? Did the fish pull you into the water?"

Chen Lu put the bucket on the ground and said expressionlessly, "No, Chen Mo pushed it into the water for me."

"My brother pushed me first!"

While the two were bickering, Liang Zhirou said shyly in a low voice, "Hello, Uncle."

"That's more like it! You should come to my house more often!" Chen Guanglin nodded with a smile. "How about I take you to a restaurant? What would you like to eat?"

As the head of the household, you can't exactly say you don't know how to cook, can you?
