??Chapter 318: Is she nervous?
Meng Chuyuan looked up, his eyes showing confusion and astonishment: "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you ask me to take over?" Lu Qingye lowered his eyes and looked at her. Seeing Meng Chuyuan's puzzled look, he asked blankly, "What's wrong?"
“…” She meant to catch the rod.
Who made him understand it this way!
Meng Chuyuan was completely speechless by his actions. In order not to waste her previous efforts and to avoid the fishing rod from shaking and alarming the small fish in the water, she chose to hold on for a while longer.
On the other side, when Mrs. Lu saw the two of them hugging each other, she quickly showed a relieved expression.
Old Madam Lu tilted her head to share her joy with the housekeeper: "See? This is the highlight."
"I see." The butler nodded.
Mrs. Lu said complacently, "How is it? Does my trick work? You should learn from it and teach your son when you have the chance. Maybe one day you will become a grandfather."
The butler responded with a confused look on his face: "...Yeah, okay."
…
Perhaps because they were too close, Meng Chuyuan could clearly feel Lu Qingye's warm breath appearing beside her earlobe, ruffling her hair intentionally or unintentionally, and making her neck feel itchy.
Judging by the distance, Meng Chuyuan knew that he must have lowered his head, and his facial features were very close to him.
Otherwise, given their heights, and the fact that it was winter and the air was slightly chilly, it would be impossible for the temperature to be so scorching.
Meng Chuyuan didn't dare to move.
Firstly, she was worried about scaring away the fish underwater, and secondly, her body seemed to be under a spell and she couldn't move even if she wanted to. What was even stranger was that she gradually felt a heat spreading inside her body, and her heartbeat seemed to be accelerating.
Somehow, this series of actions seemed to trigger a physiological reaction in Meng Chuyuan.
“…”Is she nervous?
Why is my heart beating so fast in my throat?
Yesterday when they were taking photos in the red maple forest almost face to face, there was no such obvious reaction... Could it be that her neck is too sensitive?
After a long moment, Meng Chuyuan couldn't help but move his neck. He slowly turned his head to look at Lu Qingye and asked softly, "Are you fishing or are you fishing for me?"
This is not fishing at all, it's simply torturing her and testing her patience.
Lu Qingye lowered his eyes and looked at the face that was very close to him. They were so close that he could see each eyelash clearly.
Lu Qingye was a little overwhelmed by Meng Chuyuan's sudden serious questioning. His expression was mixed with a hint of nervousness, and he spoke vaguely: "Fish..."
"How can you teach people to fish like this?" She is not a child and needs to be taught step by step.
Meng Chuyuan stared at him intently with a scrutinizing look, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.
“…”Isn’t this considered teaching?
Lu Qingye's body stiffened, his eyes were dull, and there was a hint of doubt between his brows. He seemed not to understand Meng Chuyuan's eyes.
Just as the two were exchanging eye contact, a fish had already taken the bait. The information transmitted through the fishing rod instantly brought their thoughts back to reality.
Meng Chuyuan retracted his gaze and fixed it on the float on the fishing rod. He said excitedly, "Quick, there's a fish on the hook."
"Don't be impatient." Lu Qingye casually lifted the rod and reeled in the fishing line. Soon he saw the fish floating to the surface.
After Lu Qingye pulled up the fish, he took it out of the hook and threw it into the bucket next to him.
After trying out some fishing, Meng Chuyuan couldn't help but complain: "Fishing is so hard, why can't we just use a dip net?"
Before fishing, Meng Chuyuan could still see schools of fish swimming in the water. He guessed that there should be a lot of fish in the pond and it should be easy to catch them with a scoop net.
Just then, Mrs. Lu came over and heard Meng Chuyuan's question. She lied and said, "The net was bitten by mice and has a hole in it. It can't be used anymore."
“…” Lu Qingye stood aside, silent.
Perhaps because Meng Chuyuan was facing an elderly elder, she was too embarrassed to doubt and was forced to choose to believe: "Oh, so that's how it is."
Mrs. Lu: "Yes, I am heartbroken that the good landing net was damaged by rats."
To make the effect more realistic, Mrs. Lu pulled the housekeeper in for a play, using her eyes to communicate: "Old Jin, didn't I tell you the landing net was broken? Did you forget to buy it again?"
After Butler Jin understood, he immediately cooperated with Mrs. Lu: "Look at my memory... I'll go buy a new one another day."
Meng Chuyuan: “…”
She had originally convinced herself to believe it, but Mrs. Lu's deliberate explanation exposed her truth even faster, making Meng Chuyuan feel that there were too many loopholes.
Mrs. Lu leaned forward, glanced at the fish in the bucket, and said happily, "These fish are really fat... You two should stay here with me tonight and have dinner before leaving."
