Jiang Yao looked at the man who was focused on the fish in the water. After a while, she could not help but defend herself. “I’m not thinking about anything. You’re the one who’s doing some wishful thinking.”

Lu Xingzhi turned around to look at Jiang Yao. Then, he gestured for her to be quiet and not disturb the fish. However, when he turned his head, he smiled mockingly.

Jiang Yao sat by the bank with her hands on her cheeks and watched her husband. It was common knowledge that fishes would follow the light at night. Jiang Yao had also fished with Jiang Lei at night when she was younger. However, the fishes in her village’s river were only as big as an adult’s palm. The fish in that pond were quite huge because of the good environment. They swam very fast in the water. Some might think those were monsters in the river.

The two of them stared at the water quietly. About seven to eight minutes later, there was still a black shadow where the flashlight shone. The shadow seemed to be chasing the light. They swam toward Lu Xingzhi.

Jiang Yao saw Lu Xingzhi’s hand that held the spear move quickly. The next moment, half of his body was in the water. A few seconds later, when he raised his hand, he had a fish that was almost as big as his palm.

Lu Xingzhi took the fish off the spear and threw it ashore. Then, he continued to search for the next target.

Lu Xingzhi’s actions were swift. There were already three fishes of different sizes lying at Jiang Yao’s feet in just a few minutes. Lu Xingzhi raised the spear again. Jiang Yao picked up a small stone on the side and threw it into the water where he wanted to attack.

Unsurprisingly, he missed his target.

The stone had caused ripples that scared the fishes away. It even splashed some water onto Lu Xingzhi’s face.

Jiang Yao giggled like a naughty child who had succeeded in a prank. Her smile was ostentatious and proud.

“Three is enough for the two of us.”

Jiang Yao walked toward the pool and reached out to Lu Xingzhi to pull him up.

However, she did not expect moss on the rocks by the pool. She slipped when she stepped on it.

“Argh!”

Jiang Yao cried out in a low voice.

Lu Xingzhi quickly ran to the shore and lifted her upper body. That was how she narrowly avoided falling into the water.

“The rocks are covered in moss. Hurry back to the shore, and don’t get too close.” Lu Xingzhi helped her regain balance before he told her to retreat.

After she moved further back, he nimbly jumped back to the bank and walked toward Jiang Yao. “Did you bump into anything just now?”

He was not sure if she was injured.

“I’m fine.” Jiang Yao shook her head. “It just scared me a little.”

Jiang Yao shook the water droplets off her hands. Even though Lu Xingzhi had managed to get a hold of her, her shoes and hands were still wet.

Jiang Yao finally realized that the water was even colder at night. It was summer, but the water still chilled her to the bones.

Jiang Yao hurriedly reached out to hold Lu Xingzhi’s hand to feel the temperature of his palm. She looked annoyed.. “Why are you catching fish in such cold water?” Fortunately, his hand was still warm.
