Looking at Su Qingyao's smug expression, Lu Qingzhou couldn't help but smile.
He reached out and affectionately stroked her nose.
He chuckled and said, "Qingyao's skills are truly exceptional."
As he spoke, he bent down to help Su Qingyao remove the fishhook and then deftly baited it for her.
Another hour passed, and the sunlight became quite intense, shining down on the lake without reservation, reflecting a dazzling light that stung the eyes.
Lu Qingzhou raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light, looking at the excited people next to her, feeling extremely frustrated.
Look, Leng Yue is humming a little tune with a contented look on her face. She has already caught two fish. Every time she catches one, she proudly shakes her head at Lu Qingzhou, showing off her spoils.
Su Qingyao, a novice, actually caught two fish;
Lin Yinuo was even more terrifying, having already caught a full five;
Even Mu Shaohua, who wasn't in high spirits, caught a three-pound carp.
As for him, his fish basket was empty, and he ended up with nothing.
Using the same method, the same location, and the same bait, the fish simply wouldn't bite.
Damn it, that bastard.
He sighed helplessly, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, a look of frustration on his face. He scratched his head, feeling a bit irritated: "Why aren't any of the fish taking my bait today? This is ridiculous!"
Seeing his gloomy expression, the others chuckled.
Watching from the side, Leng Yue couldn't help but tease, "Why don't you go down into the river and catch some? You might have a good catch."
A mischievous smile played on her lips, and her eyes narrowed into slits.
As soon as she finished speaking, a cry of "Ouch!" was heard, followed by a "plop" as she fell into the water.
Lu Qingzhou fell directly into the river, splashing a huge spray of water.
The women on the shore were instantly dumbfounded, their mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time. Leng Yue was taken aback at first, then pointed at Lu Qingzhou thrashing about in the water and giggled.
"Your mental pressure is too much. I was just joking with you, why are you taking it so seriously?"
But as she laughed, her laughter faded when she saw the looks Mu Shaohua and Su Qingyao were giving her.
Mu Shaohua and Su Qingyao weren't as clueless as Leng Yue. Seeing Lu Qingzhou fall into the water, they immediately put down their fishing rods without a word.
He rushed to the shore in a panic, his toes almost touching the water, and anxiously shouted, "Come on, the water is cold!"
Lu Qingzhou splashed around in the shallow water for a few moments, trying to hide the embarrassment of having just fallen in.
He thought to himself that he had to save face.
Thinking this, he simply swam across to the deeper part of the water, deliberately putting on a relaxed appearance.
Just as he reached the deep water, his expression suddenly changed, and his leg cramped violently.
He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, my leg cramped up."
Then, with a cry of "Ah!", it sank into the water.
The world on the shore seemed to freeze in time.
A few seconds later, the women panicked.
Su Qingyao burst into tears, and Mu Shaohua's hands trembled uncontrollably.
Leng Yue panicked, muttering, "This is terrible..."
Before they could react further, Lin Yinuo threw her coat off her shoulder and jumped into the water without hesitation, splashing water everywhere.
The people on the shore saw Lin Yinuo swim swiftly towards the direction where Lu Qingzhou was sinking, like a nimble fish, her hair spreading out in the water like a piece of black silk.
He then completely disappeared into the water.
Lu Qingzhou held his breath, watching as a woman suddenly swam towards him in the water.
Lu Qingzhou finally saw the face of the person in the water clearly; it was Lin Yinuo.
He was startled: Why did this girl go into the water? Could she be here to save me? This is so embarrassing! Then he felt a surge of emotion.
He reached out to grab Lin Yinuo's hand, but he tripped over some water plants, lost his balance, and their hands separated.
In a panic, Lu Qingzhou grabbed Lin Yinuo's chest.
He stared blankly at the spot he had grabbed, completely bewildered.
I reached for her hand, how did I end up grabbing the wrong spot?
At that moment, he felt incredibly embarrassed, his face flushed red, and he could feel his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest, even in the dim underwater light.
Lin Yinuo was somewhat taken aback by this sudden turn of events.
I was startled and a mouthful of water rushed in, my nostrils filled with the fishy smell of the lake.
She desperately suppressed her discomfort, quickly calmed herself down, and didn't care about anything else.
At this moment, Lin Yinuo disregarded her shyness, gritted her teeth, grabbed Lu Qingzhou's arm, and vigorously swung her legs, holding Lu Qingzhou tightly with her arms, doing everything she could to bring him to the surface of the water.
On the shore, Mu Shaohua and the others were extremely anxious. Their hands were clenched so tightly that their nails almost dug into their palms, and their eyes were fixed on the water, not daring to look away for even a moment.
Su Qingyao was already sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face, repeatedly muttering, "Come up quickly, come up quickly. If it doesn't work, I'll go into the water and check."
Leng Yue quickly grabbed her hand, "You're not as good a swimmer as I am, so don't make things worse. Lin Yinuo will bring him up."
She also dropped her joking expression and peered intently into the water.
Mu Shaohua bit her lips until they bled, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She secretly blamed herself for not learning to swim before. Then she wouldn't be so helpless now.
All I can do is pray for them silently.
