Chapter 71 Fishing
Across the gurgling river are towering mountains with clouds swirling around the mountaintops, which is a breathtaking beauty.
Mu Yuan walked under the parasol and saw a two-story cart filled with all kinds of exquisite pastries.
There is also a simple set of tea sets and a small stove with olive charcoal on the side for boiling water.
There is a mosquito repellent but not pungent incense stick in the corner.
Have food and drink, fish, drink tea and enjoy the scenery of mountains and rivers?
Enjoy it to the fullest.
It was prepared very carefully.
Mu Yuan's heart was beating fast.
She turned around and saw Huo Min handing her a fishing rod that looked expensive, while he held the fishhook in his other hand.
"The bait is ready, cast your rod."
Looking at the fishing rod, it would be a lie to say that I didn't feel a little bit tempted.
I have tried fishing when I went on team building trips before, but at that time, I used an entry-level fishing rod, and only brought a bottle of water and a pack of biscuits. I broke off a piece of banana leaf to sit on. After fishing, my hands and feet were covered with mosquito bites.
It is happiness, but the conditions are quite difficult.
It's completely different from today's environment.
She took the fishing rod and saw that he was still holding the hook. She frowned slightly and said, "Let go."
Huo Min's dark eyes were indifferent, but he insisted: "If you throw me, I will let go and not hook you."
She said helplessly: "I have fished before, but I won't hook myself."
His expression remained the same, but he still refused to let go.
Mu Yuan was speechless. What was a hook like that? It was not like he had been hooked before.
Does he need to be so worried?
Mu Yuan was eager to fish, so he didn't feel awkward anymore and just reminded, "Then I'll cast it?"
"Yeah." He nodded slightly.
The moment he cast the rod, Mu Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips with excitement.
Huo Min took it all in, and as if he was infected, he lowered his eyes and curled his lips slightly.
The buoy stood on the water surface, quietly.
She tilted her head and quietly looked at Huo Min who was making tea.
He moved slowly and steadily, with a slight pressure on his wrist. The water column swirled up the tea leaves at the bottom, and the color of the tea soup gradually became darker. It was then poured neatly into the sharing pot. The whole set of movements was noble, elegant and very ornamental.
She lowered her eyelashes slightly, hiding the thoughts flowing in her eyes.
This is her usual way of making tea.
When did he learn it?
I wanted to insist on ignoring him, but now I can’t help it: “You are stealing my skills.”
Huo Min raised his dark eyes, a smile gleaming in them, and said frankly, "I'll pay the tuition."
Maybe it was the aroma of the tea, or maybe it was the fishing that made her feel good, or maybe it was the meticulous planning that touched her. She hugged her knees and tilted her head to look at him: "Tuition is very expensive."
The way she tilted her head to look at herself was as cute as a kitten.
Huo Min's heart softened, and he imitated her tone: "How much is it?"
Her sly eyes flickered over the well-filled teacup. "It's very expensive anyway... I need to test the results of your stealing first."
Huo Min couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "I accept the teacher's test."
If Mu Yuan looked in the mirror, she would find that her eyebrows were tinged with smile.
But there was no mirror here, only his obsidian-like pupils could reflect her appearance.
So she didn't notice it, she gently squeezed the teacup and took a sip, the fragrance of tea filled the air.
She murmured, "You've... learned everything."
Quietly, I learned her tea art and got into her heart.
The buoy was dragged underwater, making a sound of water.
Mu Yuan hurriedly turned around, her almond eyes lit up: "There's a fish!"
The pulling force was quite strong, it seemed to be a big fish. She reeled in the rod one by one, dragging the fish for a distance underwater. When its struggle to break free was obviously weakened, she suddenly pulled in the net.
It was a big mandarin fish, estimated to be about 10 kilograms.
Two iconic horizontal stripes, a black-spotted tail, and a sharp dorsal fin.
Although the fish was tired from being lured, its size was there, and as soon as it found it was out of the water, it began to struggle hard again.
"Wow!" Mu Yuan was pulled and staggered forward.
"Be careful!" Huo Min frowned instantly, stepped forward quickly, hooked his left hand around her waist and pulled her back, while controlling the rod with his right hand.
The staff nearby also hurriedly came forward to help with the fishing nets.
A group of people hurriedly fished out the big mandarin fish.
"Huo Min, it's a mandarin fish!" Mu Yuan excitedly tilted her head, but her nose happened to rub against Huo Min's, who was standing nearby and looking down at her.
Just a light touch, and the numbness instantly spread throughout her body.
She looked up in surprise.
Into his dark and unfathomable gaze.
Time seemed to stand still.
The surrounding sound shells were suddenly suppressed.
She saw herself reflected in his pupils, her cheeks flushed and almost panicked.
Bewildered and defenseless.
My heartbeat kept accelerating, making my mouth dry.
Huo Min stared at her deeply, his Adam's apple rolling again and again.
"Mr. Huo?" Manager Wen's voice instantly woke up the two people who seemed to have lost their souls.
Mu Yuan suddenly pushed him away.
A moment of frustration flashed through Huo Min's eyes, and then they suddenly turned cold as he looked at the culprit who interrupted them.
Manager Wen felt a chill run down his spine from the glare and smiled flatteringly, "I...I just want to ask, do we need to send this fish to the kitchen to be cooked now? It's almost noon..."
Huo Min said solemnly, "No need."
But the next moment, Mu Yuan rejected his idea: "Please send it to the kitchen."
Huo Min immediately looked at her and raised his eyebrows: "You can cook other fish for lunch."
Mu Yuan shook her head slightly: "The fish caught recently are the freshest."
Huo Min frowned slightly: "But this is what you just caught." He was not happy for more than a few minutes.
Mu Yuan didn't reply to him, but just bent her eyes towards Manager Wen: "Manager Wen, thank you for your help."
Manager Wen glanced at Huo Min hesitantly. Seeing that he didn't respond, he dared to reply, "Okay! It's not a bother, not a bother."
Before the fish was pulled away, Mu Yuan took out his cell phone and took a picture.
Huo Min, who was standing behind her, saw this and lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to, you can cook another fish for lunch."
Mu Yuan turned around and showed him the photos she took, even enlarging them.
Huo Min only took a glance, and his deep gaze unconsciously returned to her face.
She stared at the screen with her eyelashes drooping, smiling slightly, her smile as bright as a spring flower.
He was fascinated by what he saw.
But she suddenly opened her eyes, and the clear, bright light in her eyes penetrated into his heart, sweeping up a turmoil.
Her curved eyes were like the moon, illuminating his world: "Don't you want to try the taste of the fish I caught?"
His dark eyes swayed violently, and his voice was hoarse: "I want to."
She turned her head proudly, her expression shining like the sun: "That's it."
But soon.
She glanced at him again quietly.
He smiled so sweetly that there was no trace of the cold and aloof young man in him.
The fishing mission was completed, and it was almost noon. I had to go back to have lunch with Zhao Keqiong, so it was naturally impossible for me to continue fishing.
The staff are cleaning up.
Huo Min also raised his hand and was about to call the sightseeing bus over.
"Aren't you going to eat these?" Mu Yuan behind him suddenly said.
Huo Min raised his hand in the air and then dropped it again, turning his head to look at her who was bending over and choosing from the pastry cart on the second floor.
His dark eyes softened immediately. He walked over to her, leaning over her to look her in the eye. "Which one do you want to eat? I'll pick it up for you."
She raised her eyes and threw the question back to him: "Which one do you want to eat?"
The midday light squeezed in from the edge of the parasol and projected onto the glass layer of the pastry cart, illuminating the tender brilliance in front of the pastry cart and in each other's eyes.
"Uncle!" A childish male voice interrupted their eye contact.
Mu Yuan turned around and saw a little boy who was no more than 5 years old, wearing Ultraman clothes and holding an Ultraman transformation prop in his hand.
The boy grinned, his missing front teeth particularly noticeable, and rushed straight towards them.
Mu Yuan looked at Huo Min unexpectedly, but saw that his brows were furrowed, with an expression of "disaster is about to happen" on his face, and his eyes were full of disgust.
