Zhou Shui raised an eyebrow. "Brother Chen, didn’t you just use any bait?"
"No need."
"This fishing rod looks quite simple," he remarked.
"It’s sufficient."
Zhou Shui fell silent, pouting to himself. He thought, no matter how you look at it, your fishing rod can’t compare to my million-dollar fishing rod. How can you catch fish without even using bait?
Zhou Shui smiled silently, ready to watch Chen Xuan make a fool of himself.
Suddenly, in less than five seconds, Chen Xuan yanked the rod sharply, and a Silver Fish shimmered in the sunlight as he pulled it up effortlessly.
What the—
Zhou Shui was dumbfounded. That was barely five seconds!
It’s already hooked? And he didn’t even use bait!
Zhou Shui stared blankly as Chen Xuan casually unhooked the Silver Fish and tossed it aside before casting the line back into the water.
Again, in less than five seconds, another Silver Fish was hooked.
Zhou Shui watched closely this time, completely bewildered.
He glanced at Chen Xuan’s simple fishing rod and then at his own—an ultra-high-end fishing rod he had bought overseas for a fortune.
He felt utterly confused.
Could it be that Chen Xuan’s fishing rod is worth tens of millions? Is it high-tech?
How else could it be so impressive?
Zhou Shui felt a surge of envy as he looked at Chen Xuan's fishing rod. "Brother Chen, your fishing rod is pretty good! Where did you buy it?"
"A friend’s," Chen Xuan replied.
"Can it be sold?"
"Of course not."
Chen Xuan rejected Zhou Shui's inquiry and casually tossed the Fishing Rod behind him. Qing Xuan, with a quick leap, grabbed the Fishing Rod and dashed away.
Zhou Shui watched helplessly as the Fishing Rod grew further and further away, feeling a deep sense of loss. For an avid fisherman like him, seeing such a magnificent Fishing Rod yet being unable to possess it was truly heartbreaking. His mood plummeted.
Chen Xuan picked up four Silver Fish from the ground and smiled, "President Zhou, come on, let me treat you to some fish."
"Oh."
Zhou Shui replied listlessly, thinking to himself that there was nothing special about fish; after all, he was a fishmonger and had tasted countless delicious fish. What he truly wanted was that Fishing Rod. He couldn't shake off his longing for it.
As he trudged toward the wooden cabin, his mind was busy calculating if there would be another chance to acquire Chen Xuan's Fishing Rod.
Chen Xuan returned to the cabin. Inside, there was a simple set of cooking tools, and during his free time, he enjoyed preparing meals there.
For one thing, it helped him hone his culinary skills. He had already savored the deliciousness of Silver Fish over the past few days. The first time he ate it, he nearly doubted all the fish he had consumed over the years were nothing but rubbish.
He was certain that when Zhou Shui and his family of three tasted the Silver Fish later, their expressions wouldn't be much better than his when he first tried it.
With a swift motion, he gutted the fish and heated some oil in a pan.
Zhou Shui sat down with his daughter Xiao Hua and son Zhou Xiaohau, casually watching Chen Xuan busying himself in the kitchen. He paid little attention to Chen Xuan's claim that Silver Fish was delicious; his mind was still preoccupied with thoughts of how to obtain Chen Xuan's Fishing Rod.
Suddenly...
An enticing aroma wafted through the air.
