Chapter 92 – Maybe there was really something wrong with his head (3)
“I can’t explain it, but it’s fun to mess around with him. Especially when he was flustered. Don’t you think?”
Old Man Wang, “……”
Not at all, okay?!
Seeing that Meng Yuran had returned, Lin Yiyi wrapped up one of the barbeque fish in aluminum foil and handed it to him. She had placed the fish on the side of the rack earlier to keep it warm.
Little kiddo Meng Shanshan also docilely handed her brother a pair of chopsticks.
But now, even the aromatic barbeque fish couldn’t fix his ruined appetite.
“What’s the matter?” Seeing the look on her instant son’s face, Lin Yiyi asked carefully, “I thought you were having a good time with Mr. Lu. How come you seem so unhappy all of a sudden?”
Must she bring up the topic that he wanted to talk about the least?
With a look of resignation, he said, “Who said I was having a good time hanging out with him?”
“Alright, alright. Whatever you said, okay?”
Young people were just moody like that. She got it.
Meng Yuran, “……”
Why was it so difficult to communicate with the adults?
By nightfall, the fishing buddies all put away their fishing rods and got ready to go home for dinner. They sorted out the fish in their buckets and tossed the smaller ones back into the water, picked out one or two big ones to bring home, and gave the rest of Gu Chengyi.
Meaning that, they didn’t possess the same skill as Xiao Lu, nor his luck; they didn’t even get a single large fish…
Mr. Gu, once again, had a “full haul” and happily walked over to Lin Yiyi and the rest of them.
Lin Yiyi, Meng Yuran, and Meng Shanshan had already packed up the barbecue grill and got ready to take off. They all looked at him, baffled.
So all those hauls that Mr. Gu had been bringing home with him everyday didn’t really come from him?
Meng Yuran still didn’t look very well.
If only he knew about the story behind the fish sooner…
He would never have made a bet with that Lu guy!
“Look at our haul today!” said Mr. Gu without any self-awareness.
Lin Yiyi and Meng Yuran, “……”
They have two buckets of fish, the one from Lu Xu was filled to the brim. They wouldn’t even be able to eat all of them in two weeks’ time…
***
The next day after, Mr. Gu, who had made another date with his fishing buddies at the club, ran into Lin Yiyi again on his way out the door.
Lin Yiyi looked at the fishing rod and bucket in his hands with a look of understanding.
Mr. Gu, seeing her, was startled and quickly threw down. “I.. I promised them I won’t be bringing my family today. I am taking… taking off now!”
He then dashed in the direction of the door as though he was being chased by wild dogs.
Lin Yiyi, “……”
She didn’t say she wanted to go with him again, alright?
After they had returned him, Meng Yuran was still unhappy from the event for the next few days.
It was only when he finally noticed that even though that Lu guy had added him on Yaxing, he had never sent him any message. In fact, there was nothing at all. Like a ghost friend, his alias was always greyed out at the bottom of his friend’s list. He had never even seen him online…
Alright, maybe there was really something wrong with his head.
