"Are the fish here so easy to catch?" she wondered, eager to try, and asked Wang Houde to give her a fishing rod.
Then, he cast the fishing hook into the river in a seemingly professional manner, and then sat down on the rock next to Gu Linchao.
She rested one hand on her knee, held the fishing rod in the other, and stared intently at the river.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, Gu Linchao's fishing rod moved. He lifted his arm upwards, and a lively fish leaped out of the water.
Wang Houde said happily, "Master has caught another fish."
Wen Nongnong watched the fish fall into the bucket, pursed her lips, and muttered under her breath, "It's not that great, it's not even a big fish." She could catch fish too, she'd see how she did later.
Gu Linchao glanced in her direction, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Wen Nongnong waited a while longer, but the river remained still. Meanwhile, Si Yi, who was next to her, caught a fish after Gu Linchao.
Now, Wen Nongnong was getting a little anxious.
Her fishing method is correct, so why aren't the fish biting?
Just then, there was another movement from Gu Linchao's side.
This time, he caught a fat fish.
Wen Nongnong stared at the fish again and again, wondering if Gu Linchao's bait was better, since all the fish were going towards him.
She wondered if she should try fishing in a different spot.
At the very least, you should stay away from Gu Linchao.
Thinking this, she shifted her position, about to get up, when Gu Linchao, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, said calmly, "The most important thing in fishing is patience. You have to be patient to catch fish."
Wen Nong Nong pouted, "I understand that principle, but it's been so long!" There was still no movement from her side.
Just as she was thinking this, she felt her fishing rod suddenly become heavier.
She froze, completely stunned, unable to react.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed her hand that was holding the fishing rod, then helped her lift the rod up.
A fat fish leaped out of the water.
"Smack!"
The fat fish fell into the bucket with a sound.
Wen Nongnong blinked, finally realizing what was happening, and excitedly pointed to herself, asking Gu Linchao, "Did I catch this fish?"
Gu Linchao was still replaying the smooth texture he had just touched in his mind; the sensation seemed to linger on his hand. Hearing this, he nodded absentmindedly, "Mm."
"I'm so great!" Upon receiving the affirmative answer, Wen Nongnong was overjoyed and grabbed his sleeve, shaking it. "Gu Linchao, look, I can catch fish too, and they're even bigger than yours!"
Gu Linchao glanced at her hand gripping his sleeve, paused, and then cast the fishhook back into the water for her.
"You've never fished before?" he asked casually.
"No." Wen Nongnong was still immersed in the excitement of catching a fish.
"I originally thought you were very experienced." Gu Linchao suddenly turned his head and glanced at her.
Upon seeing this, Wen Nongnong paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered the time she went fishing in the Prince's Garden. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty. "I just don't know how to fish. That's why I used a fishing rod without a hook that day."
Wait a minute, Gu Linchao suddenly decided to come here to fish, could it be because of her?
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he came here to fish right after seeing her playing with a fishing rod in the garden?
He is the regent of the current dynasty, in charge of both state affairs and military affairs. He is probably busier than the emperor on weekdays. How come he suddenly has so much leisure and elegance?
Thinking about it, she stared intently at him.
