"Boss, no, but the Fly Rod you wanted yesterday has already been delivered to the store! Would you like to take a look?" Su Xueyi asked with a smile, handing a bottle of water to Wen Qianqian.
Upon hearing "Rod," Wen Qianqian immediately lost her hesitation and replied, "Sure, let me see it!"
As she looked at the Fly Rod that Su Xueyi brought over, Wen Qianqian felt quite satisfied. Even though she couldn't evaluate the rod's performance without casting it a few times, the craftsmanship was impeccable!
Seeing that Wen Qianqian had no objections to the rod, Su Xueyi quickly brought over the Wheel and Line Setup she had prepared and placed them in front of Wen Qianqian. "This is the Wheel and Fly Line. You can open them up and take a look if you'd like!"
Wen Qianqian, feeling no need to be polite, took out the Wheel and skillfully attached it to the Rod. After feeling its balance, she proceeded to set up the line before asking, "How much is this rod?"
Having felt the quality of the line while setting it up, she thought that Shi Tian had prepared a pretty good set; at least it felt better than any she had used before!
However, with Fly Fishing, one couldn't truly assess the line's quality without casting it. Only after making a few casts would she be able to draw conclusions!
"The Rod is five hundred, the Wheel is one hundred, and this spool of line is four hundred! Additionally, we'll throw in a box of Fly Fishing Hooks, which includes both finished and semi-finished hooks for you to choose from!"
Su Xueyi had never heard of Fly Fishing before today; she only learned about it after listening to Sun Lang at the store. Now she had some basic understanding of these issues.
Wen Qianqian was somewhat surprised by Su Xueyi's pricing. Just yesterday, Shi Tian had quoted seventy-two thousand for a single rod—what was going on today? A rod for five hundred and a spool of line for four hundred? Had Su Xueyi misquoted or had Shi Tian suddenly found his conscience?
Regardless of that, she decided to settle the bill first and find a place to cast a few lines to see how the Rod performed!
Taking out her phone to scan the payment code, Su Xueyi placed the box of Hooks in front of Wen Qianqian and then retrieved the spool of line from atop the hook box. "Do you need waders? If you're going stream fishing, it's best to have a pair. The weather here in Sanya is hot and there are many mosquitoes; wearing waders would be safer!"
Without responding to Su Xueyi's question, Wen Qianqian stared at the dull gray line in Su Xueyi's hand and asked, "Is that also Fly Line? Who would want such an ugly line?"
Su Xueyi was taken aback by Wen Qianqian's comment; she too thought the line looked somewhat unattractive. No wonder Shi Tian hadn't wanted her to give it away as a gift!
"This spool of line costs one thousand," Su Xueyi said. She initially thought there might be something special about it and had deliberately placed it on top of the hook box for Wen Qianqian to notice. It seemed that Wen Qianqian didn't find anything remarkable about it either!
Upon hearing Wen Qianqian's words, Su Xueyi awkwardly smiled and replied, "This spool of line is somewhat special; its price is quite high—it's one thousand yuan!"
Su Xueyi had been examining this spool of line for quite some time but still hadn't figured out what made it special. She quoted the price just to see if Wen Qianqian recognized its value.
"One thousand? Let me see! Your boss really knows how to charge—one thousand for just a spool of line!" Placing the Rod on the counter, Wen Qianqian was genuinely intrigued by Su Xueyi's cleverness.
"Bian Guang Xian? I've never heard of that! What makes this line special? Can it change color?" As she flipped through the packaging of the line box, Wen Qianqian asked in confusion.
She had used imported and domestic lines across various price ranges but had never encountered anything called Bian Guang Xian. What was that? Did it change color? It wouldn't require batteries or anything like that, would it?
Su Xueyi couldn't answer that question either. Not only did she not know; even Shi Tian wouldn't have been able to explain it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept quiet about it when he brought in the line!
"I'm really not sure about that. The boss only mentioned that this line is somewhat special but didn't specify how!" Su Xueyi replied awkwardly to Wen Qianqian, feeling helpless.
She had searched extensively online but found nothing about Bian Guang Xian. There were light-changing LED strips available, but those were entirely different things!
Wen Qianqian turned around and swiped a thousand yuan, directly opening the packaging and pulling out the thread. Bian Guang Xian? It couldn’t possibly be a different color every few meters! That would just be colorful string! Wen Qianqian paid a thousand yuan for this oddity, and after pulling out over ten meters of thread, it was still a dull gray. Losing her patience, she wound the thread up and stuffed it into her bag. She had completely lost the desire to buy the underwater pants!
This spool of thread might be ugly, but the material and feel were decent; otherwise, she wouldn’t have put it in her bag! But why didn’t they make it colorful? It wouldn’t cost much more, and the quality would significantly improve. It was such a waste!
Wen Qianqian lost a thousand, while Shi Tian lost five hundred. Giant Blue wasn’t so easily swayed; from the scorching sun to sunset, his Float remained perfectly still as if it were anchored.
Er Gou, on the other hand, had a catch—a ten-kilogram Xiao Qing Yu. After reeling in the fish, he had no intention of releasing it; instead, he planned to take it home and raise it! Once it grew to dozens or even hundreds of kilograms, he could proudly show it off to others, saying: “See this Azure Catfish? I caught it myself!”
That sounded reasonable enough; there didn’t seem to be any flaws in his logic! Yet Shi Tian felt something was off but couldn’t pinpoint what.
When they returned to the store, Su Xueyi had already finished work. Only Sun Lang was sitting behind the counter playing on his phone. Upon seeing Shi Tian return, Sun Lang quickly stood up and said, “Boss, I’d like to take two days off.”
Hearing this made Shi Tian immediately alert! What kind of joke was this? He had only been working for a few days and now wanted to take two days off! Was he planning to take Su Xueyi out? But Su Xueyi was still a student; dating was fine, but he couldn’t let that interfere with her studies! That was a lifelong matter!
Sun Lang’s request for leave could either mean he had personal matters or that Su Xueyi had something going on! He was someone who dared to cycle around China; what could possibly be wrong with him? It had to be related to Su Xueyi!
