While Qin Yuxue was chatting away with the livestream, Yang Fan was scanning the sea, looking for a good spot to fish.
After about half an hour of sailing, he finally spotted a promising area.
It was a stretch of oyster beds about a kilometer ahead. Beneath the water, there were various fish hiding—sea mullet, green scad, small sharks, and both black and yellow grouper. What was most important was that there were several sizable schools of fish in the area, making it the perfect fishing spot.
Without hesitation, Yang Fan turned the boat around and headed straight toward the oyster bed area.
An oyster bed, as the name suggests, was a place where people cultivated oysters in the sea. These areas often attract fish, which is why they are frequently used for fishing. Before Yang Fan arrived, two other fishing boats were already anchored in the area, though they didn't appear to be from the nearby village, so Yang Little Fandn't recognize them.
Arriving at the spot, Yang Fan found the area with the most fish and anchored the boat there.
Qin Yuxue, who had been happily interacting with the chat, noticed the boat had stopped and asked, "Yang Fan, why did you stop the boat? Are we at the fishing spot?"
Yang Fan nodded. "Yeah, this oyster bed area should have a lot of fish. Let's fish here today."
As he spoke, he began to prepare bait, tossing handfuls of it into the water.
The moment the bait hit the water, fish of all sizes swarmed around, fighting for the food. It was a stunning sight, though it was only visible to Yang Fan, who was looking into the water about 20-30 meters deep.
Seeing the fish gather, Yang Fan immediately took out two fishing rods and baited them with ragworm lures before casting them skillfully into the water.
He wasn't just casting aimlessly; he aimed precisely for the spot where the fish were gathering the most. After both hooks were cast in, he handed one of the rods to Qin Yuxue.
"Here, take one. Watch the float. If it goes under, it means you've got a bite."
Qin Yuxue happily accepted the rod and asked, "Hehe, Yang Fan, this is my first time fishing. How long do you think it'll take for a fish to bite?"
"It should be pretty quick."
Yang Fan smiled. With so many fish around, he expected a bite soon.
Barely a minute passed before...
There was a tug on Yang Fan's line!
At the same time, the float on the water suddenly sank!
"We've got one!"
Yang Fan smiled, swiftly reeling in the line. In no time, a sea mullet weighing over three kilograms surfaced.
As Yang Fan scooped the lively fish into the net, Qin Yuxue blinked in surprise. "No way, Yang Fan! You're that good at fishing? You cast the line for less than a minute and already caught such a big fish?!"
"Ha, it's just average," Yang Fan said modestly as he tossed the fish into the live well to keep it fresh.
After taking care of the sea mullet, he re-baited the hook and cast the line again.
"Hey! Yang Fan, my float is moving!"
Not long after, Qin Yuxue noticed her float jerking. She quickly called out, "Yang Fan, Yang Fan, my line's got a fish! What do I do?"
"Uh, what do you mean, what do you do? Just reel it in."
Yang Fan replied, a little speechless as he watched her panic.
"But I don't know how!"
Qin Yuxue's expression was frantic as the float bounced violently. "Yang Fan, help me! Don't let the fish get away!"
"Uh, fine."
With a resigned smile, Yang Fan took the rod from her hands, guiding her step-by-step on how to reel in the line and handle the fish.
It was obvious Qin Yuxue was a beginner, her movements clumsy, but under Yang Fan's patient guidance, she finally managed to pull up the fish.
When a one-kilogram yellow grouper surfaced, Yang Fan scooped it up with the net.
Qin Yuxue cheered in excitement. "Wow! Yang Fan, look! I caught a big fish too! Hahaha! I'm amazing!"
"..."
Yang Fan chuckled, saying nothing.
It was her first time fishing, and she had already landed a fish over a kilogram. Qin Yuxue was beyond thrilled.
She immediately placed the rod down and bent over to grab the yellow grouper from the net. Holding the fish up with both hands, she proudly spoke to the camera, "Hehe! See? The moment I try, I catch a big fish. Don't you think my fishing skills are awesome?"
As soon as she said that, the chat exploded:
["Hahaha! I'm dying! The little fairy's smug little expression is too cute!"]
["It's definitely cute! But let's be honest—your fishing skills aren't that impressive. When you were reeling in that fish, it nearly slipped off the hook several times. Honestly, if it weren't for the guy next to you helping, that fish would have gotten away!"]
["Pfft! It's her first time fishing, okay? Catching any fish at all is already impressive!"]
["Exactly, exactly! My little fairy is the most beautiful and the best!"]
["Judging complete: two simps above!"]
["Yep, full-on simping! Even when the host's fishing skills are so bad, you guys are still fawning over her. Total simps!"]
["So what? What's wrong with being a simp? Simps have everything they want!"]
["Pfft! Simps end up with nothing!"]
["......"]
