As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 127 - 122: Taking Jiang Luoluo Out to Sea

Chapter 127 -122: Taking Jiang Luoluo Out to Sea

After selling the fish successfully, Wei Jiaguo expressed some regret, “It’s a pity it’s not a bluefish. Otherwise, it could have sold for at least fifty thousand.”

“Bluefish can sell for that much?” Chu Mingcheng asked in surprise.

“A big bluefish might contain very good bluefish stones, which are quite valuable. In fact, some people are willing to pay a high price for them as ornamental fish, their commercial value is much higher compared to catfish.”

“This… Grandpa, actually, when I first came here, someone was pulled into the water by a fish. He said it was a bluefish, so why don’t we try again tomorrow?”

After listening, Chu Mingcheng felt a bit regretful that he caught a catfish instead of a bluefish, but then he remembered what the person had said earlier and suggested.

Wei Jiaguo was startled and then couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “Do you, kid, think big catches are that easy to hook?”

...

The lake was vast, and it wasn’t a specialized breeding ground; who knew where the bluefish had gone.

“We’ll play it by ear, if there’s no catch from sea fishing, then we’ll come here!”

“I’m here today because the sea conditions are bad and the fish are hard to catch; the water is too turbid for diving, and my driver’s license hasn’t come through yet, so I came to catch a big fish for fun. Who knew I’d actually snag one.”

“You should hurry back and take a shower, change your clothes, so you don’t catch a cold!” Seeing him in such a sorry state yet still discussing fishing, Jiang Luoluo immediately got upset and slapped his arm, chiding him.

“Hehe, got it, got it!” Chu Mingcheng knew she was worried about him and stopped discussing fishing. “Grandpa, I’m going to take a shower now. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight, wait for my call, okay?”

Wei Jiaguo was also not pretentious this time, nodding in agreement. After all, he had no dinner plans for the day and no tall tales to tell, so why not enjoy a free meal.

Chu Mingcheng then invited Zhang Ruomei, but this woman was very discerning and said she had other things to attend to tonight. She promised to “take advantage of him” another time for a meal and left directly.

In the end, Jiang Luoluo drove, taking Chu Mingcheng back home.

On the road, with only the two of them in the car, she had a lot to say, but given the current situation between them, it didn’t seem quite right, so after much deliberation, she finally organized her thoughts.

“Ah Cheng, please make sure you prioritize your personal safety in the future, okay?”

Jiang Luoluo spoke softly, without blame or a lecturing tone, just laying out the severity of the matter for him to understand.

“I think your uncle and aunt would support you fishing to make money, but they would never want you to put yourself in danger for the sake of catching a big fish.”

“Sister Mei told me you were in the water for ten minutes, even I was scared. What would they think if they found out?”

“Ten minutes?” Chu Mingcheng had been silent, knowing Jiang Luoluo cared for him, but he couldn’t help but find the idea of ten minutes amusing.

“Where did she hear that from? I was only in the water for two minutes.”

He said two minutes instead of four, not wanting to worry her too much.

As long as he didn’t admit it, even if someone had recorded the whole thing, people would just think it was a fake video spread by error, and no amount of explanation from witnesses would help.

If the person involved didn’t respond, the story would naturally die down. Who would care how long he really held his breath?

“I had it calculated, actually. I was going to give up the rod and go back in two minutes. But just when the fish’s first burst of strength was over, I managed to pull it back.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t let the people I care about be upset.”

When Chu Mingcheng said this last line, he was staring at Jiang Luoluo the whole time. The young girl felt her blood rushing to her head, her face growing hotter and hotter.

The words were fine, but staring at her intently while saying them made it all very intimate.

Seeing her cheeks flush a deep red, Chu Mingcheng’s lips curved slightly upward, and then he shifted his gaze to the road ahead.

Immediately, the car quieted down, but the atmosphere became somewhat romantic.

On the other side, after Wei Jiaguo got home and lay down on a rocking chair to zone out, his thoughts drifted to the events of the past few days with Chu Mingcheng and the images of Jiang Luoluo.

It all felt familiar and similar, like dusty memories from over forty years ago being reopened.

His love for fishing showed that he was no stranger to climbing trees for bird nests or wading into water for fish in his youth.

Similarly, there was also a beautiful figure by his side.

He took care of Chu Mingcheng because he liked the boy’s character.

On the other hand, he saw a bit of his younger self in Chu Mingcheng, both exuding charm, which made him offer extra care.

He had already regarded him as an interesting younger relative, but seeing Jiang Luoluo today stirred up memories of his past.

Thinking of Chu Mingcheng who had bought a boat but was forced to search everywhere for fishing spots due to his circumstances, Wei Jiaguo shook his head, chuckled, and dialed a number on his phone.

He knew which school it was, and his friend happened to be one of the shareholders. Though he wasn’t involved in its management, arranging an early exam and study session was no issue.

They’d been friends for decades, so when the call connected, he spoke frankly.

“Aguo, what’s up, did you catch another fish today? You’re not going to tell me it was that hundred-pound catfish, are you?”

“You know about the catfish too? That’s perfect, it was my kid who caught it. This silly boy is taking his driving test over at your place, he’s bought a boat, but it’s been just sitting there.”

“Just arrange for someone to teach him boat handling right after his written test. Skip the scheduling fuss, hardly any people and still booking appointments for what!”

The person on the other end of the call was taken aback, “I’ll be damned, old timer, since when did you have another kid? Is it because of him that you didn’t go abroad with Ah Wang?”
