BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90: Maybe there was really something wrong with his head (1)
He stared at the bucket of fish, speechless…
Oh, never mind the size of the fish. Three fish was three fish!
This was a far cry when his usual haul every other time, but perhaps there were just too many people here fishing today so there just weren’t a lot of fish left.
He thought that until he saw Mr. Lu’s bucket from afar.
Something was moving around in the bucket and water was splattering out from it, looking pretty spectacular…
In contrast, his grandfather’s three fish were much quieter, not even one droplet of splash could be seen.
No, that’s not true…
There were at least some air bubbles coming from the fish…
That moment, Meng Yuran’s brain wave suddenly overlapped with that of his grandfather’s.
He suddenly had a bad feeling!
What he didn’t know was that Mr. Gu Chengyi was secretly regretting talking too much over lunch.
His secret was about to be exposed. Aye!
His integrity was about to be compromised at his old age!
Xiao Lu was a member of the Fishing Association. He had even taken home quite a few awards from the county’s competition. His own fishing skill didn’t remotely measure up to Xiao Lu’s.
The several buckets of fish that he had brought home previously were gifts from others, particularly from Xiao Lu…
Ms. Lin Ping didn’t like him going fishing, and he had to sneak out every time. In order to make himself look better, he’d accept fish from his fishing buddies for the purpose of showing Ms. Lin Ping how talented he was. It would be a great waste of his talent if he gave up fishing.
Not in a million years would he expect his silly grandson to have a bet with Xiao Lu.
This would not end well.
Thinking about how his own grandson had inadvertently set him up, his brain throbbed in pain.
By now, Lu Xun was walking over toward them with his bucket in his hand.
As the man got closer and closer, more and more were curious about the bucket in his hand.
As the distance between them shrank, the splashing sound coming from inside the bucket grew louder and louder.
“THUD!” Xiao Lu’s bucket was placed in front of the grandfather and grandson duo.
Many of the fishing buddies also stuck their necks out as far as they could to try and get a good look.
There were seven to eight large fish inside the bucket, each one of them was larger than the size of all three of Mr. Gu Chengyi’s combined. The way the fish were splashing around inside the bucket made others worried that they’d leap out of the bucket any given minute. It was as if they were trying to make a point of their liveliness with their own lives.
Never mind Gu Chengyi grandfather and grandson duo, even the other fishing buddies exclaimed.
“There are fish this size in this pool?”
Xu Lun curved his lips into a smile. “Of course! The few smaller ones that I got I dropped them back into the water and kept only the large ones. I think these should be enough for all of us.”
Meng Yuran, “……”
Mr. Gu Chengyi couldn’t bear to stand by any longer.
He peeked at his grandson, who hadn’t spoken a word so far, coughed, and asked lightly, “What is the bet about anyway?”
Meng Yuran harumped and didn’t say anything else.
