"Brother Jiang, don't worry about the landing net for now. I feel something's wrong with this fish; I can't pull it in."
Yu Chengyuan pulled back a moment and said.
"The fish is probably too big. Let me help you."
Jiang Haiyang tossed the landing net aside and then came over to help pull in the fishing rod.
"My goodness, this fish is so strong! If someone were weak, they would probably be dragged into the fishpond by it."
Jiang Haiyang thought to himself that this must be a very, very big fish.
"Brother Jiang, you're right, it's highly likely."
In the future, if you encounter a situation like this, you shouldn't force it.
Let's hold back for now and let the fish struggle on its own. We'll pull harder when it's tired.
Based on experience, this situation definitely indicates that you've encountered a big fish.
If you pull too hard, there are two possible outcomes: either you accidentally fall into the fishpond, or the fishing line breaks and the fish bites the hook and gets away.
"You little rascal, I didn't realize you knew so much about fishing."
Although Jiang Haiyang doesn't fish often, he occasionally goes fishing at the reservoir with the factory's senior leaders and often listens to them share their fishing experience, so he knows a bit about it.
So when he heard Yu Chengyuan say these things, he knew that this guy was a semi-expert.
"Haha, I often go fishing with my older brother, so I naturally learned a bit about it."
"That's about enough. This fish should be exhausted. Now it's our turn to exert our strength."
Yu Chengyuan felt that the fish was no longer being dragged into the water, and knew that it was tired.
After some effort, the two of them worked together to scoop the big fish up.
It was a very big bluefish.
"Brother, you're amazing! This fish must weigh at least twenty pounds, and you caught it last night."
It seems you're right, there really are big fish in here.
Needless to say, I lost today.
"Shall we continue fishing?"
Jiang Haiyang voluntarily admitted defeat, fearing he wouldn't be so lucky as to catch such a big fish.
"It's still early, let's keep fishing. This big fish will be enough for us tonight."
We'll catch some more later, so you can take them back for your uncle and aunt to eat.
The fish here are all grass-fed and farmed, so they taste better and don't have such a strong fishy smell.
Besides, we still have crayfish to catch!
So we're not in a hurry to go back.
Yu Chengyuan shook his head, cast his fishing rod again, and then said, "Brother Jiang, a bet is a bet. Since you've admitted defeat, you have to grant me one request!"
"Well, I'm just incredibly lucky. I caught a huge fish on my very first fishing trip, a really big one at that."
It's worth noting that domesticated fish like these rarely grow to over 20 pounds; a fish weighing over 10 pounds is considered very good.
Because domesticated fish that eat grass grow very slowly.
Jiang Haiyang nodded helplessly, then laughed, "Hahaha... You kid, fine, you say it, I'm willing to accept defeat!"
But don't you dare ask me any tricky questions!
Yu Chengyuan scratched his head, thought for a moment, and asked, "Brother Jiang, will you answer any question I ask you?"
"Of course, since I promised you, I won't go back on my word. Go ahead and ask, you brat!"
Jiang Haiyang nodded. He was just having bad luck today. What could he do?
However, he found that Yu Chengyuan, this young man, seemed to have always been lucky, and his mind was particularly sharp, so it was quite pleasant to be with him.
“Brother Jiang, you said it yourself, so I’ll say it.”
I've always been curious, you're not bad-looking, so why aren't you married and have children at this age?
I don't believe someone with your looks and qualities has never been in a relationship.
Yu Chengyuan boldly asked, not caring that curiosity killed the cat!
Jiang Haiyang's smile froze instantly. He hesitated for a long while before slowly speaking.
"Sigh, Brother Chengyuan, since you asked, I won't hide it from you anymore."
At my age, I've definitely had relationships, and they were the kind that left a deep and lasting impression.
I was young once too, and of course I had girls I liked.
However, we were not meant to be, and we didn't end up together.
Jiang Haiyang was lost in his memories.
"Brother Jiang, why aren't you two together?"
You didn't cheat on me, did you?
Did you upset that young girl?
Yu Chengyuan guessed.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Do I look like that kind of playboy?
I take relationships very seriously.
You've got it backwards. It wasn't me who cheated, it was her...
That's not entirely true; you can't blame her entirely.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, I just said it offhand. Don't be angry, please continue."
Yu Chengyuan realized he had gone too far with his joke and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
However, Jiang Haiyang is a really good person. Even after breaking up, he didn't want to say bad things about his ex, even if the ex was wrong.
This is what they call revealing a person's true character after a breakup.
"I know you're joking, I'm not mad at you."
This story begins seven years ago.
Seven years ago, I had a girlfriend named Xu Yueru. At that time, we were deeply in love and inseparable.
We promised to get married right after graduation. A hint of reminiscence flashed in Jiang Haiyang's eyes.
"And then what happened?"
"Later, we both achieved excellent grades and were given the opportunity to study abroad."
There are two lists at the school.
She wanted me to go study abroad with her, but I didn't go; she went with another classmate.
Why don't you go?
Brother Jiang…
You have to understand that it's very rare to have the opportunity to study abroad so early in life.
