Chapter 33: Throwing a Snake to Add Fun

Thinking of this...

Ye Chen cheered himself up again!

Enough talking, continue fishing!

But when Ye Chen saw the Water Snake in the keepnet, he found himself in a pickle.

Seeing Ye Chen staring at the Water Snake in the keepnet, the surrounding fishermen also turned their gaze to the snake, quietly discussing among themselves.

Not only Liao Xuexue, others also avoided the snake as if it were the plague.

After all, most people are still filled with fear towards snakes.

"I don't even know if this thing is venomous; if I caught such a terrifying thing, I'd throw away my fishing rod and everything!"

"Tsk tsk, if that thing is poisonous and it bites you, you're done for..."

"This thing is way harder to deal with than fish in the water; Teacher Ye is really something!"

"Speaking of fishing, Teacher Ye isn't great, but when it comes to catching other stuff, Teacher Ye is absolutely the best in the world!"

"Teacher Ye, I think you should just cut the hook, it's not easy to remove, don't get bitten by this snake!"

...

Ye Chen scratched his head and bent down to examine the keepnet: "It's not poisonous, this should be an amphibious snake..."

Under everyone's gasp, Ye Chen then reached into the keepnet.

Standing at a distance, Liao Xuexue saw this and covered her mouth with her hand, shocked.

Then, Ye Chen pinched the snake's head with two fingers, pulled hard, and removed the fishing hook from its mouth.

Finally, Ye Chen actually threw the Water Snake directly into his keepnet!

"Today I doesn't have any show-offs, might as well throw in a snake for some good luck."

"Thank goodness this snake is big; if it were a smaller snake, it might have slipped through the gaps of the keepnet."

"Huh?"

"Why are you all staring at me?"

Ye Chen turned around to see everyone looking as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, each face filled with fear.

There are indeed people who aren't afraid of snakes, but they're rare.

And there are people willing to directly handle and pry open a snake's mouth, but they're also rare.

These points alone are not enough to shock all these fishermen present to such an extent.

What really shocked these fishermen was that Ye Chen had the guts, but more crucially, in order not to be called a show-off, he freaking put the Water Snake directly into his own keepnet!!!

Similarly, in the live stream room, whether old fans or new viewers were exploding over Ye Chen's bold move just now.

"Holy shit! I used to not believe this streamer chose not to report a body after catching it to avoid causing panic, now I believe it!"

"Dang, it's actually within my expectations, this streamer remained calm even after fishing up a body last night, just a Water Snake today, he's not scared at all!"

"I guess the only thing that could excite the streamer is actually catching a fish!"

"Indeed, by doing this the streamer really can't be called an air force anymore..."

"Teacher Ye is lit, fishermen forever not show-offs, today Teacher Ye is definitely not a show-off!"

"That's weird, I've been watching Teacher Ye fish for almost two months now, and he has never managed to catch a single fish."

"Catching a snake is actually fun too, it counts as something alive, I used to catch Water Snakes in the reservoir with friends when I was a kid!"

"That said, it's like gaining some good luck!"

...

At the shore of Seyves Reservoir.

This episode with the snake finally came to an end.

Fishermen returned to their spots and cast their rods again, preparing to fish.

And Ye Chen was doing the same.

However, when he looked up, he saw a pitiful and extremely aggrieved little face.

He then remembered, there was Liao Xuexue.

Indeed, the Water Snake he just caught had really frightened her.

Although old Liao was detestable, at least his granddaughter was innocent.

But to let this Liao Xuexue just go like this, Ye Chen always felt he was at a loss.

Old Liao was still glaring at him.

If he were to just void the bet, he guessed that Old Liao would mock him once again.

Just as Ye Chen was standing there not knowing what to say.

Unexpectedly, Liao Xuexue wiped away the tears she had shed from the shock.

Then she obediently sat back down on her previous chair, picked up the spoon, and continued to help Ye Chen bait the fishing spot.

Ye Chen was somewhat stupefied, after handling the fishing bait and casting the rod, he asked: "You… you're not scared?"

The little girl nodded, but then she quickly shook her head.

Afterwards, just like before, as if she didn't want to deal with herself, she kept staring at the fishing float on the distant water surface.

Although as indifferent as an iceberg, that little girl's intensely red ears betrayed her...

Logically speaking, a little girl being scared by such a big Water Snake, and almost falling into the water.

She probably absolutely wouldn't continue sitting here.

However, this little girl was still obediently baiting the spot for him...

This inevitably made Ye Chen puzzled.

But Ye Chen wasn't the type to probe too deeply; he soon focused his attention back on the fishing float on the water surface.

No matter how absurd it was first.

For an angler, the most absurd thing is why, he can't! catch! a! fish!

Ye Chen sat on the stool, letting out a sigh.

He believed that even without the system's cues, he could still catch a live fish.

Just as he shifted his attention to the fishing float.

A clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded beside Ye Chen's ear: "Thank you… you."

But the voice was tiny like a mosquito.

Ye Chen turned his head, looking in surprise at Liao Xuexue sitting on the stool: "You… you can talk?"

Liao Xuexue seemed a bit afraid of Ye Chen, weakly said: "I... I'm not mute, how could I not talk?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen almost laughed out loud.

Not to mention anything else.

Old Liao's granddaughter is really quite humorous.

Thinking this, he then asked: "What are you thanking me for?"

Liao Xuexue turned her head, and upon realizing that Ye Chen's eyes met hers, she quickly lowered her head.

Then, like a Maneki-neko, she repeated the previous baiting motions.

"Thank you for saving me..."

Ye Chen suddenly understood.

So, Liao Xuexue was thanking him for pulling her back when she almost fell into the water just now.

That's really nice!

This Liao Xuexue is quite conscientious, not like her grandfather, which is just damn!

He saved her granddaughter, not even a thank you, but instead, he had that look as if he wanted to skin him alive.

Seeing Liao Xuexue speaking, Ye Chen then asked: "Are you afraid of snakes?"

Mentioning snakes, Liao Xuexue showed a lingering frightened expression, nodding her head with a face of terror: "Scared..."
