Chapter 31 Ye Chen Who Can Fish For Anything

However, more shocking than this was the scene that took place.

Just as the girl was about to fall into the water following that shrill scream, her footing became unsteady.

Because she had been trying to catch fish, she was standing in the water, about to turn her back to the water's surface after scooping up the "fish" with a net.

Now, startled, she subconsciously tried to dodge the snake, but her feet slipped, and she was on the verge of falling into the water.

Although the water near the shore wasn't deep, and falling in wouldn't have posed any danger,

for a girl to fall into the water would indeed be quite embarrassing.

Old Liao next to her suddenly exclaimed in alarm, "Xuexue, be careful!"

Ye Chen was moping around nearby.

He thought that with the updated equipment, plus the system upgrade, and having prepared a setup on the shore for half the day,

he would catch something, but he ended up catching such a thing instead.

Suddenly, he heard Old Liao's exclamation.

Looking up, he saw Liao Xuexue with a pale face, her body leaning backward.

Ye Chen rushed over in a flash, grabbing her hand directly.

Liao Xuexue, in a state of shock, didn't think too much; at that moment, she seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

At this moment, Liao Xuexue's mind was blank; even after being pulled up by Ye Chen, she remained in a dazed state.

Her fear of snakes was especially strong, a girl very afraid of them, especially when she herself had scooped up a snake.

Ye Chen stood in front of her, holding her hand, and examined the little Liao Xuexue with enthusiasm.

At that moment, there were still undried tear stains on Liao Xuexue's face; she just looked at him blankly.

Looking at the fragile Liao Xuexue, one couldn't help but feel distressed for her.

However, to outsiders, the sight of the two holding hands was open to interpretation.

Especially the fishermen in the distance who didn't know their relationship, all had a constipated expression.

One thought ran through the minds of that group.

Damn, why is this so harsh on the eyes? Just kill me now!

It's bad enough that the wife doesn't allow fishing, but to have to watch others flaunt their affection here?

Damn, I don't need to eat lunch anymore, just full from eating all this dog food!

However, the person whose emotions changed the most markedly was Old Liao.

It was exactly what he was afraid of!

He had cautioned his granddaughter countless times to stay away from this Ye Chen kid.

Despite all the precautions, this rascal managed to seize the opportunity.

He was actually holding his granddaughter's hand? And with both hands!

If it were just holding hands, that would be one thing, but why the hell are you touching back and forth???

In a moment of exasperation, Old Liao shouted loudly, "Animal, let go of that girl!"

Ye Chen was startled, turning his head to see the furious Old Liao.

Immediately, he let go of her hand.

At the same time, Ye Chen also raised both hands, indicating his innocence.

But...

As he suddenly let go, Liao Xuexue, who had just gotten up, lost her balance once more before she could stabilize her feet.

Losing her balance, she instinctively tried to grab Ye Chen's hand.

But since he had raised his hands, she had no choice but to aim for his body.

The whole process happened in an instant, and Liao Xuexue's reaction was purely instinctive.

Like someone instinctively reaching out to grab anything around them when they're about to fall.

So, the next second, an extremely cringe-worthy scene unfolded.

Liao Xuexue, having narrowly escaped from danger, was now holding onto Ye Chen's waist with a look of terror. As she leaned against Ye Chen's chest trying to compose herself, she had not yet realized just how... her action appeared to others.

Until she heard a voice filled with near despair and a familiar tone.

"Damn it!!! Damn it!!!"

Liao Xuexue turned her head and saw her grandfather staring, his experienced face turned green.

At the same time, her ears suddenly picked up the sound of a rapidly accelerating heartbeat.

When she lifted her head, she saw her "employer," the Fishing Master Teacher Ye, with an equally dumbfounded expression.

It was only then that she realized what had happened.

So she quickly let go of Ye Chen, steadied her stance, and took a few steps back.

Not only away from the Water Snake in the net but also away from the person in front of her.

However, despite this, her cheeks were still burning hot.

This was the first time she had ever had such intimate contact with a member of the opposite sex in her life.

The man known as Teacher Ye, the Fishing Master, was still standing there like a gentleman, raising both hands.

In other words, it was she who had initiated the embrace!

Thinking about this, Liao Xuexue felt so embarrassed she could practically dig a three-bedroom apartment in the ground with her feet.

Her face was so hot that it was red all the way to the roots of her ears.

And just at this incredibly awkward moment, she wasn't sure if Teacher Ye did it on purpose or what, but he muttered: "Hmm... smells good!"

The next second, Liao Xuexue's entire face blazed red like the sunset.

But the expression on his granddaughter's face, in old Liao's eyes…

Isn't that the expression of shyness?

Holy crap!!!

It's exactly what I was worried about!

This rascal Ye Chen, he really knows how to fish for everything but fish!

Did my granddaughter fall for his hook with just one encounter?

Damn it!

Not only is this son of a turtle fishing for my granddaughter, but he's also reeling me in!

From the moment he made that bet with me yesterday, I was hooked.

And the bait?

Naturally, it was the two valuable fishing rods.

Old Liao's anger grew the more he thought about it!

Definitely, that was it; this little rascal Ye Chen has had his eyes on my granddaughter for a long time.

That's why he seized the chance last night to propose such a bet to me.

And I was attracted by those fishing rods at the time, falling for his trick!

First, he hooked me, and then he went after my granddaughter.

As old Liao looked at his blushing granddaughter, his heart raced with a thousand cursing grass mud horses.

That bastard Ye Chen, really, damn it!

The main thing is, this is only the first day...

If I let my granddaughter stay with this little bastard for seven days, I'm afraid I might end up holding my great-grandson!

With this thought, old Liao was filled with infinite regret.

But the fish had already bitten the hook, and it wouldn't be easy to get free.

Old Liao was in a real quandary; even though he fulfilled the bet, after all, he had lied to his granddaughter...

It seems that over a lifetime of calculations, I, the Angry Iron Hand, have been outfoxed by this little bastard, Ye Chen, in the end.

One must admit, this kid can really hook anything, not just fish.

Got to give him some respect!

...

Old Liao's head was filled with too many thoughts.

Mostly it was because he was too guardful against Ye Chen.

At the time of the bet, Ye Chen hadn't thought so much; it was entirely because old Liao was too noisy last night, so Ye Chen wanted to tease him.
