Turning back to his room, Shi Tian smirked. After exchanging a move with Pingtou Ge, he found that Pingtou Ge was easier to deal with than Air Force and Lu Ya, which made things much simpler!
He took out the fishing rod he had prepared for Pingtou Ge and rushed over to him. As he assembled the electric reel onto the rod and connected it to the power supply, he tossed the line into the fish bucket, causing it to sway in front of Pingtou Ge as he began to reel it in.
Pingtou Ge had already noticed Shi Tian's antics but was too lazy to pay him any mind. However, when he saw Shi Tian reeling in the line, he finally focused his attention. Was that rod new?
That felt a bit unfair. Shi Ye had a new rod, but they were uncle and nephew; Shi Tian giving him a set of rods was a gesture of filial piety. But Air Force and Lu Ya had new rods too! This was starting to feel unreasonable!
He had always treated Shi Tian well, having shared several meals with him, but surely all those tunas weren't given away for free! Last time, he had mentioned buying a rod, so why was Shi Tian being so inconsiderate? Selling rods to Air Force and Lu Ya but not to him—did Shi Tian think poorly of him?
“Xiao Tian, weren’t you supposed to prepare for snorkeling with Xiao Yu and September? Why are you fiddling with fishing rods again?” Pingtou Ge leaned in slightly and whispered to Stern and Shi Ye.
If he couldn’t buy a rod, he might as well snatch this new one from Shi Tian first. He could pay him whatever price he asked! Surely Shi Ye wouldn’t protect him over something so trivial!
Snorkeling wasn’t urgent; it wasn’t even six o’clock yet. They should at least finish breakfast first! Glancing at Pingtou Ge, Shi Tian continued his actions without pausing in his task of reeling in the line. “Then hurry up and make breakfast! The earlier we go, the more fun we’ll have. It’ll be too hot to enjoy later!”
Seeing that Shi Tian wasn’t catching on, Pingtou Ge felt anxious for him. “Aren’t September and Eleven pretty? Take them snorkeling and show off a bit! No matter who you end up with, you’ll come out ahead! And as for my sister Li Ziyu, I need to remind her not to stand out too much; I can’t let this guy get any ideas about her!”
Fishermen had no future; they all ended up looking like charcoal after being sunburned. Plus, if they spent two minutes casting lines, his sister needed to stay far away from fishermen.
They hadn’t even gotten up yet! Yesterday they mentioned wanting to watch the sunrise from the boat; it wouldn’t be too late to make breakfast after that. After breakfast, they could go snorkeling when it got hot!
At this point, Shi Tian paused and turned to Pingtou Ge. “Pingtou Ge, I’ll take your sister snorkeling—consider me your guide! Should she pay for the guiding fee or will you?”
“Guiding fee?” At the mention of this term, Pingtou Ge was taken aback. This was perfect; with such emotional intelligence, how did he expect to pursue girls? None of the three girls on the boat would be interested in him—his sister was safe!
“Of course it’s me as her brother who will pay! So how much is it?” Just hearing that from Shi Tian made Pingtou Ge find him a bit more endearing; at least he wasn’t as annoying as yesterday.
As Shi Tian paused his work on the electric reel, he stared at Pingtou Ge thoughtfully before scratching his nose. “Talking about money hurts feelings—it’s too cliché! My guitar is broken; how about this: you get me a guitar as a guiding fee. Is that okay?”
He occasionally played his guitar but hadn’t managed to master any songs yet. After half a month of practice, he finally got the chords down but his fingers hurt from pressing them.
Getting sore fingers was something every beginner guitarist had to endure; calluses would form eventually and it wouldn’t hurt anymore. However, to make this process less painful, Shi Tian planned on upgrading to a better-quality guitar.
“I’ll take care of it; I’ll send someone to pick one out for you. I guarantee that guitar will arrive at your shop before we leave for Xisha!”
After giving Shi Tian a pat on the shoulder, Pingtou Ge frowned and suddenly spoke up: “Xiao Tian, do you have something against me? If I’ve been rude in any way, just tell me—I’ll apologize!”
Seeing Pingtou Ge actively jump into the pit, Shi Tian touched his own head and looked at Pingtou Ge with a naive expression, saying, "No way! How could I have any objections? You've always taken care of me and even gifted me several Tuna!"
"What about Air Force and Lu Ya? They both have Boat Rods, right? What about me? I mentioned wanting to buy a Boat Rod last time. Now they all have Rods to use, and I’ve been talking about it for so long. You must have some objections to me, right?"
Hearing Pingtou Ge finally bring up the issue of the Rod, Shi Tian smiled inwardly and immediately retorted, "They are my brothers! I call them brothers, and they will agree!"
"This new Rod in my hands was specially prepared for you through a lot of connections. I was ready to give it to you as soon as we boarded the boat yesterday. I consider you my brother, but you insist on being my uncle. If you want to be an uncle, fine! But you still haven't given me a gift for our meeting. You can't let me, as the younger one, be the first to give a gift, right? That would be so embarrassing for you!"
Shi Tian's words almost made Pingtou Ge spit out a mouthful of blood. "You really think ahead for me! You're not that old yet, but you hold grudges pretty well. You're waiting for me to deal with what happened yesterday!"
Glancing at the Rod in Shi Tian's hand and then at Stern and the other three who were eavesdropping, Pingtou Ge felt increasingly frustrated.
He definitely couldn't be an uncle; if he really took on that role, Stern and the others would throw him into Hai Li!
"This is my fault. I was a bit seasick yesterday and wasn’t clear-headed when we boarded! You called me brother so many times, and I agreed every time. Besides, I haven’t treated you poorly as a brother! Can you forgive me this time?"
