"Master Wei, am I doing this right?" Jing Zhiwan put up the bait and looked up at Wei Che, her eyes full of questions.
Wei Che nodded, "Yes, then cast the rod gently, paying attention to the strength and angle."
His eyes never fell on Jing Zhiwan, but looked into the distance, as if looking for something. His eyes were like a lost bird, full of confusion.
Jing Zhiwan swung the rod according to Wei Che's instructions. The hook fell into the water, splashing a circle of small water. The water splashed gently like ripples in spring.
She clapped her hands excitedly, "I succeeded, Master Wei, look, I succeeded!"
Her voice was full of joy and pride, like the singing of birds in summer, cheerful and beautiful.
Wei Che forced a smile, "Miss Jing is really smart."
His tone was flat, without a trace of joy, and his smile was cold and stiff.
Jing Zhiwan noticed Wei Che's coldness and felt a little sad.
She didn't understand why Wei Che was always so distant from her.
But she did not give up and continued to try to find topics to talk about, trying to bring the two closer.
"Master Wei, there are so many fish in this lake. I just saw some big fish swimming in the water." Jing Zhiwan said excitedly. Her voice was like the warm sunshine in spring, trying to dispel the haze in Wei Che's heart.
Wei Che smiled slightly and nodded, "Indeed, there are a lot of fish in this lake, but I'm not in a good mood today and I'm not in the mood."
His smile was like the spring mist, gently enveloping him, and there was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his words.
Jing Zhiwan's heart tightened, and she asked with concern, "Master Wei, are you worried about something? If you're willing, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you."
Her voice was full of concern and worry, like a spring breeze, gently blowing through Wei Che's heart.
Wei Che shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired. I just need to rest for a while."
His voice was like fallen leaves in autumn, with a hint of loneliness.
Jing Zhiwan felt a little lost, but she did not give up and continued to accompany Wei Che fishing, trying to impress him with her enthusiasm and concern.
Time passed slowly, the sun gradually set in the west, and a layer of golden ripples appeared on the surface of the lake. The ripples were like golden silk, gently floating in the breeze.
Jing Zhiwan suddenly felt the fishing rod sink, and she shouted excitedly: "Master Wei, there is a fish on the hook!" Her voice was like thunder in spring, breaking the calm of the lake.
Wei Che hurried forward to help, and the two of them pulled up the fishing rod together. A big fish was struggling on the water. The struggle of the big fish was like the dance of life, full of power.
Jing Zhiwan jumped up excitedly, "Master Wei, we caught a big fish!"
Wei Che didn't want to dampen her spirits, so he forced a smile, "Miss Jing, you're amazing."
Jing Zhiwan felt that at this moment, the distance between her and Wei Che seemed to have shortened.
She was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that she had finally found a way to get along with Wei Che. That joy was like a new bud breaking through the ground in spring, vigorous and full of vitality.
"Master Wei, we can grill fish tonight." Jing Zhiwan said excitedly. Her voice was like the singing of birds in spring, cheerful and beautiful.
Wei Che wanted to go back earlier to ask Su Huaiyue about the location of their store, but Jing Zhiwan had already thought about what to do in the evening, so he couldn't say anything else and could only nod, "Okay."
The two packed up their fishing gear and returned to the city with the big fish.
Jing Zhiwan was very excited all the way and felt that today's fishing trip was very successful. She secretly vowed in her heart that she must continue to work hard to make Wei Che fall in love with her. Her determination was like a rock in winter, firm and unshakable.
However, Wei Che felt complicated. He knew that he had no feelings for Jing Zhiwan, and her enthusiasm and concern made him feel helpless.
He secretly decided in his heart that he must sort out his feelings as soon as possible and not let Jing Zhiwan misunderstand him anymore. The tangle in his heart was like a tangled mess that needed to be sorted out urgently.
On the carriage back to the city, Jing Zhiwan noticed that Wei Che was not in a very good mood. She originally wanted to take him back to the governor's mansion, but looking at his appearance, he seemed to have no interest.
In order to please him, Jing Zhiwan took the initiative to speak, "Master Wei, Sister Su and the others may not have eaten yet. This fish is big enough. How about we go to your house tonight and grill it?"
"If we go back too late, I'm afraid it will damage Miss Jing's reputation."
"It's okay. My father is the governor. They won't and dare not spread gossip about me. Moreover, you and Sister Su have helped so many people in the city. Everyone is very grateful to you. I am one of them, but I have an honor that they don't have."
Jing Zhiwan's words were quite polite. It wasn't a compliment, but it embellished the truth, making the person who said it feel very comfortable.
The carriage slowly drove into the Wei family's courtyard. Wei Che got off first, turned around and extended his hand to Jing Zhiwan, saying politely and distantly, "Miss Jing, please."
Jing Zhiwan smiled slightly, gently placed her hand on Wei Che's hand, and used the force to get out of the car.
Her outfit today was still exquisite, her light pink skirt fluttering gently in the breeze, and the pearls and jade on her head sparkling with a soft light.
"Master Wei, I'm really sorry to trouble you today." Jing Zhiwan's voice was soft and pleasant.
Wei Che shook his head slightly: "Miss Jing, you are too kind. It's just a small favor."
The two walked into the Wei family side by side. Wei Che's expression was still cold, while Jing Zhiwan seemed a little excited.
Although she had been there before, she looked at the Wei family's courtyard from time to time, her eyes full of curiosity and admiration.
"Master Wei, your courtyard is so beautiful. The flowers and plants are arranged so elegantly. It is really pleasing to the eyes." Jing Zhiwan exclaimed.
Wei Che smiled faintly: "Miss Jing, you are too kind. They are just some ordinary flowers and plants."
The two walked into the main hall. Old Madam Wei was sitting in the front hall drinking tea and listening to them talking about going to the street to choose a shop today.
Seeing Jing Zhiwan coming, Madam Wei was very surprised: "Zhiwan is here, please sit down, please sit down."
Jing Zhiwan bowed respectfully: "Old Madam, Zhiwan greets you."
Madam Wei quickly stood up and took Jing Zhiwan's hand: "Zhiwan, you are always so polite. How come you have time to come to us today?"
Jing Zhiwan smiled slightly and looked at Wei Che: "Old Madam, Master Wei took me fishing today. We caught a big fish, so we thought we'd come back and grill it."
Madam Wei was surprised when she heard this. "Oh? You caught a big fish? That's great news. Quickly get someone to prepare the charcoal and seasonings."
What surprised her was not the fishing, but why Wei Che agreed to go fishing with her alone and invited her to the Wei family.
Her grandson is so cold-hearted and has never understood anything about love. This is just like the sun rising from the west.
