Chi Yan's gaze sharpened as he glanced over, his brows immediately relaxing. It was a fish about the size of a palm. Most wild fish are slow-witted and unafraid of people, and it was leisurely swimming around them.
Noticing her tension, he suddenly felt a mischievous urge and said casually, "Maybe it's some kind of snake?"
Shen Tangning's figure stiffened even more, her slow voice filled with disbelief: "...There are snakes in here?"
“Water snake, you’ve taken over someone else’s territory. I bet they’re upset and will come after you to argue with you,” he said, his smile widening as he spoke with an air of seriousness.
"Stop talking!" Shen Tangning's face paled, goosebumps crawling all over her arms. With unprecedented agility, she leaped onto Chi Yan and clung tightly to him. "Quick, get on him!"
Chi Yan chuckled softly, his chest trembling: "Would you call this throwing yourself into my arms?"
Seeing his reaction, her face stiffened. How could she not realize that she had been deceived?
She raised her head and glared at him, her voice filled with gritted teeth: "Chi Yan!"
Chi Yan, with his arm around her waist, chuckled lazily, "Why call me Chi Yan? It's such a mood killer. At a time like this, you should call me husband."
"Husband my foot..."
She was already shaken, and seeing his unserious behavior only made her angrier. She raised her hand to punch him!
But then a dark glint flashed in his eyes, and he leaned down to kiss her. Startled, she covered her lips with her hand, her voice muffled, "What are you doing? No, we can't be so lewd in broad daylight..."
Chi Yan raised an eyebrow, grabbed her hand that was covering her face, and held it tightly. His voice was already a little hoarse: "Just two kisses, it doesn't count as lewdness in broad daylight. If you want, we can go back and do it secretly."
Even in a place like this, he couldn't bear to make her feel wronged.
Shen Tangning immediately wanted to cover his mouth: "..."
That lecherous scoundrel!
——
Because they were not doing their proper work, the two of them only brought back two palm-sized fish in the wooden bucket when they returned.
Those small fish and shrimp weren't even enough to fill a tooth gap, so they were released back into the wild.
During the meal, Chi's mother looked at Chi Yan with curiosity: "Yan, why is your mouth red? Are you suffering from a sore throat?" She looked puzzled, "You were fine before we went out."
Shen Tangning's face stiffened, and she almost buried her head in her bowl, silently shoveling rice into her mouth.
Chi Yan touched the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with a meaningful sigh: "Maybe there were too many mosquitoes in the wild, and I accidentally got bitten?"
Under the table, Shen Tangning couldn't help but kick him.
Why didn't he realize he was being bitten?
Mrs. Chi was skeptical: "Are the mosquitoes here so vicious? You'll have to keep the doors and windows tightly closed at night. If that's not possible, I'll have someone go find some herbal remedies to repel mosquitoes."
Chi Yan said slowly, "Mother, you don't know, these mosquitoes are very fierce, and ordinary herbs can't keep them away."
He had barely finished speaking when he was kicked hard again, and he couldn't help but gasp.
The culprit was looking at him innocently: "What's wrong, husband?"
Chi Yan: "..."
They hold grudges quite a bit.
