When Qin Yuxue saw the message from Yang Fan, she immediately smiled and quickly started typing her reply.
[Qin Yuxue: "Hehe, I just got back from abroad a few days ago. I was totally shocked by your 'feat,' haha. You actually quit your job at one of the Big Four banks and went back to your hometown fishing village to become a fisherman! I have to say, Yang Fan, you're really living life your way!"]
[Yang Fan: "Haha, it's not that big of a deal. I just got tired of the big city life and wanted to try out the laid-back lifestyle in a seaside fishing village~"]
[Qin Yuxue: "Wow! That's so carefree! So, old classmate, I have a small favor to ask. Can you help me out?"]
[Yang Fan: "Oh? The big internet celebrity needs my help? Just let me know, we're classmates—no need to worry about bothering me."]
[Qin Yuxue: "Well~ Actually, it's nothing too big. I've recently gotten into watching beachcombing videos, so now I'm really interested in trying out beach fishing. Originally, I was planning to find a beachcombing YouTuber to show me the ropes, but then I saw that you quit your job and went back to your hometown fishing village! It seemed like a perfect coincidence, so I thought I'd ask—would it be convenient for you to take me out to experience beach fishing?"] (with an excited emoji)
[Yang Fan: "Uh, you mean you want to go beach fishing with me? Big internet celebrity, are you serious?"]
[Qin Yuxue: "Of course I'm serious! If you're willing to host me, I'll book a flight right away!"] (with a cute emoji)
…
Meanwhile, on the other side, when Yang Fan saw that Qin Yuxue was asking him to take her beach fishing, he couldn't help but smile.
This big-time internet celebrity classmate was definitely stirring up trouble!
However, after a little thought, Yang Little Fandn't see any reason to refuse.
Since she wanted to experience beach fishing with him, as an old classmate, it was only natural to treat her warmly.
It wasn't really a hassle—just a simple favor.
Moreover, Qin Yuxue was a top-tier beauty, even in a city like Shanghai, where there were so many beautiful women. She was known as the "campus goddess," so if she wanted to come visit him, Yang Fan had even less reason to turn her down.
Smiling, he quickly typed back and agreed to her request.
[Yang Fan: "Sure, old classmate! When are you coming? Just contact me directly when you get here. I'll make sure you have an amazing fishing experience."]
[Qin Yuxue: "Hehe! Yang Fan, it's a deal then! As for when, it should be in the next few days. Once I've sorted out my schedule, I'll let you know!"]
[Yang Fan: "Alright, see you then."]
[Qin Yuxue: "Hmm, I'm really looking forward to it! Hehe, I wonder if you're even more handsome than in college?"] (with an excited emoji)
[Yang Fan: "Haha, I can't say whether I'm handsome or not."] (with an innocent eye-roll emoji)
[Qin Yuxue: "Hehe, alright, it's settled then!"]
[Yang Fan: "Yep, sounds good."]
After chatting with Qin Yuxue for a while, it was already close to midnight.
Yang Fan yawned and put down his phone to go to sleep.
He had already arranged with Yang Hongtao to go out fishing early the next morning, so he needed to wake up at five a.m. If he didn't get to bed soon, he wouldn't be able to rest for long.
…
The night passed without incident.
At five a.m. the next day, Yang Fan was woken up by the alarm he had set in advance.
Without any hesitation, he got out of bed.
Thanks to the transformation his body had undergone due to the "Dragon Pearl,"
his physical strength and energy had far surpassed that of an average person.
Even though he had only slept for five hours the night before, he felt no fatigue when he woke up.
In fact, he was full of energy!
After a quick wash-up, Yang Fan headed to the village's dock.
When he arrived at the meeting spot, he saw that Yang Hongtao and Yang Xiaohai were already on the boat, organizing the fishing hooks.
"Fan, you're here! I thought you'd sleep in. I was about to call you and hurry you up!" When Yang Hongtao saw him, he paused what he was doing and greeted him with a smile.
"Go away, we agreed on five o'clock, so I woke up at five. Am I the kind of person who doesn't keep promises?" Yang Fan laughed as he mockingly scolded him.
"Hehe, alright, come on board! While it's still dark, we need to find a place to set up the floating nets and catch some fresh grass carp and small silver fish to use as bait. That way, the hooks will be more effective." Yang Hongtao grinned.
Yang Fan nodded, then climbed onto the boat.
Once everyone was aboard, Yang Hongtao started the engine and steered the boat toward a fishing area he was familiar with.
He knew this area well. Before dawn, this spot had an abundance of grass carp, and with one drop of the floating net, they could catch dozens of them.
However, these grass carp were small and cheap, so they were only useful as bait.
When they arrived at the familiar fishing grounds, Yang Hongtao immediately cast out a floating net.
The floating net, as the name suggested, was a net that floated on the surface of the water, ideal for catching shallow-water fish that swam near the surface.
After casting the net, Yang Hongtao took the opportunity to give Yang Fan a little lesson:
"Fan, for our fishing method with hooks, the quality of the bait is very important."
"If you use old, frozen dead fish as bait, the fish in the sea won't bite, and it'll make the hooks much less effective. But if you use fresh fish, chopped into pieces as bait, the results will be much better!"
"So, every time I go to set up the hooks, I come to this area before dawn to put out a floating net and catch some live grass carp to use as bait."
"Got it, Fan? Learned something?"
As he spoke, Yang Hongtao looked at Yang Fan with a proud glint in his eyes, as if saying, "I'm an expert fisherman, kid. Take notes!"
In response, Yang Fan playfully gave him a thumbs-up and said with a laugh, "Got it, got it! The fishing expert definitely knows his stuff!"
"Hehe, too kind, too kind!"
Yang Hongtao beamed, completely oblivious to the teasing in Yang Fan's tone.
