"Tch, you think we don't know? Little Tiger told us a long time ago that you went out to sea today to find someone, but you ended up saving them instead. Isn't that a bit of a grudge?"
"Yeah, he's your high school classmate."
"You're said to be the school beauty, right? School beauty is great."
"A beautiful and academically gifted girl who works at an oceanographic research institute. What a wonderful daughter!"
"Keep pretending, you're probably secretly thrilled."
A group of people quickly rendered Ye Cheng speechless with just a few words.
grass!
Little Tiger!
You're such a loose can, you say everything.
Even my school's most beautiful girl said so.
Are you going to tell everyone what kind of underwear I wear next time?
"Oh, well, ladies, my classmate is indeed my classmate, but she's definitely not my girlfriend. I need to go back and take a shower, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, Ye Cheng twisted the throttle and sped off, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get away.
"Don't run away, why are you shy? Hahaha."
"Second brother, have you never seen a girl before? Your face is all red."
"Let me introduce you to a few."
After escaping home, Xiao Hu still had the nerve to play games on his computer, which earned him a severe scolding from Ye Cheng.
Xiao Hu leisurely continued fighting monsters, completely ignoring Ye Cheng's mental attacks. After Ye Cheng had finished speaking, Xiao Hu said...
"Brother, is it because they ignored you that you got upset and took it out on me?"
Ye Cheng: ...
That seems to be true.
"Alright, alright, hurry back, it's so late, we're going out to sea tomorrow." Ye Cheng made an excuse to send Xiao Hu away and went to take a shower.
He had just finished showering and sat down when his phone vibrated. He picked it up and glanced at it; it was a text message from Yang Liu:
Thank you for today. I'll treat you to dinner in a couple of days.
Ye Cheng smiled slightly, still having some conscience, he simply replied "ok" and then ignored it.
I felt extra motivated playing games tonight, and I was really into slaying monsters.
......
The next morning, just as Ye Cheng got up, Duan Chunsheng came looking for him.
"Uncle Duan, so early?"
Ye Cheng asked vaguely while brushing his teeth.
"I heard you caught a mermaid, so come and see!" Duan Chunsheng said jokingly.
"Pfft!" Ye Cheng rinsed his mouth and looked at Duan Chunsheng helplessly. "Uncle, why are you like them? This isn't your style."
"Hehe, just asking casually, I came to ask if you're going out to sea today?"
"What's up? Are you planning to take me somewhere new today?" Ye Cheng asked, quite interested.
“There aren’t that many new places. It’s just that place from last time. I’ve been having bad luck lately, so I wanted to take you there to change my luck.”
Ye Cheng was speechless. Damn it, what do they take me for, a lucky charm or something?
"Okay, wait for me, I'll pack up and leave right away."
Ye Cheng responded and began packing his things, while also checking the system.
Luck value: 70+20
Points: 7100
Deposits: 160,000; Foreign debt: 30,000; Mortgage: 300,000 (including interest)
My points remained basically unchanged yesterday; I couldn't get any fish.
However, my luck is pretty good today, so there's potential.
After calling on Xiao Hu, the big mouth, the three of them rushed to the dock. The weather was nice today, and many people were heading out to sea. Wang Defa was also there.
It's been a long time since I've seen him go out to sea since he failed to sell the boat last time. I don't know why he's planning to go out to sea today.
"Little Tiger, Second Brother, you're here." Seeing Ye Cheng and the others approaching, Wang Defa took the initiative to greet them.
Ye Cheng ignored him, tilted his head, and went straight onto the boat.
Xiao Hu didn't want to pay attention, but since he was his uncle after all, he just grunted and followed Ye Cheng onto the ship.
Having made a fool of himself, Wang Defa could only return to his own boat dejectedly.
Ye Cheng didn't care at all about encountering Wang Defa, and simply set sail with Duan Chunsheng.
Or rather, Duan Chunsheng set off with him.
"Second brother, which area are we going to today? I'm sticking with you today." Duan Chunsheng said into the walkie-talkie.
"Uncle Duan, I only knew these two places. You really came with me."
"I don't care where we go, I only care if there are fish. Anyway, I'll follow you wherever you go."
Duan Chunsheng seemed certain that Ye Cheng would have a good day, so he followed along at a leisurely pace.
Ye Cheng smiled. This Uncle Duan seems to be getting better and better at joking.
Just 20 minutes after we drove off, Xiao Hu came over.
"Brother, look behind you."
"What happened next? Did something happen?" Ye Cheng looked back at the deck, but everything was fine.
"Not here, it's behind, behind Uncle Duan's boat," Xiao Hu pointed into the distance.
Ye Cheng shielded his eyes with his hand and looked over. About 50 meters behind him was Duan Chunsheng's boat, and it seemed that there were other boats following behind Duan Chunsheng's boat.
“It looks like your second uncle’s boat.” Ye Cheng looked at Xiao Hu.
"Hmm, it looks like it to me too. I wonder if Second Uncle just happened to be going that way, or if he was following us."
"I don't think he has any good intentions. Your second uncle is really something else."
Ye Cheng shook his head and didn't continue the topic, instead focusing on navigating the boat.
After sailing for more than ten minutes, Wang Defa's boat was still steadily following behind.
"Brother, call out to my second uncle and ask him what he's up to, whether he's trying to cause trouble for us."
Ye Cheng switched to the public channel and then began contacting Wang Defa.
"Wang Defa, what do you mean by following us?" Ye Cheng couldn't wait to start cursing as soon as the call connected.
The same cunning voice came from the other end of the conversation.
"Second brother, I'll get rich by following you."
"You think you can get rich by following me? Keep dreaming, you're crazy."
"I don't care, there's no rule saying I can't go online with you. I'll go online wherever you are."
After saying that, Wang Defa turned off the walkie-talkie and didn't react at all no matter what Ye Cheng said.
Ye Cheng angrily put down the walkie-talkie, "Damn it, your second uncle is treating me like a guiding light."
"Brother, let him be. It's not like you can catch fish just by following him."
Whatever Ye Cheng can do is up to him; there's no rule against casting nets in the same sea area.
Having Wang Defa around was like swallowing a fly – utterly disgusting.
Ye Cheng simply stopped before even reaching Fishing Ground No. 2.
"Second brother, why did you stop? Is it right here?" Duan Chunsheng asked.
"Yes, Uncle Duan, Wang Defa is following us. I'm annoyed. I'll stay here and see what he can get away with."
Duan Chunsheng held the walkie-talkie, speechless. "No, bro, you can screw him over, but don't drag me into it too."
However, Ye Cheng has already started setting the net, it seems he really intends to make a killing here.
When Duan Chunsheng and Wang Defa saw Ye Cheng set his net, they followed suit and began trawling their nets in the same direction.
The three boats sailed side by side, the fishing boats moving with the air of an aircraft carrier.
