Just as Liao Xuexue was in shock, a familiar voice suddenly rang out. “Xuexue, over here.”

“Grandpa!” Liao Xuexue jogged to Mr. Liao’s side by the shore.

Mr. Liao quickly brought Xuexue a small folding stool, a bottle of drinks, and snacks. At the same time, he handed her a parasol.

Pointing to the empty space at the side, Mr. Liao laughed. “Sit down first. The sun here is very strong. Don’t get tanned. That d*rn— Uh, I mean Mr. Ye, hasn’t come yet. You just have to help him out with this and that. If anything happens, I’ll be beside you.”

Mr. Liao then said in a low voice, “Xuexue, be careful of him.”

Upon hearing that, Liao Xuexue was dumbfounded. “Grandpa, since he’s not a good person, why did you have me be his assistant?”

Mr. Liao was stunned. “Urgh… Well, I mean, Mr. Ye is a good person, but he’s not suitable for you. You’re still studying, so don’t be in a hurry to date. You get what I mean?”

“Grandpa, what are you talking about?” Liao Xuexue was even more confused. “I’ve never thought of dating. Besides, isn’t the Mr. Ye you’re talking about also pretty old?”

Mr. Liao scratched his head and said guiltily, “Mr. Ye is a young man. Just remember what my words. Try not to talk to him. Just do whatever he tells you to do. I’ll be right next to you. If he dares to try anything funny with you, I’ll kick him into the reservoir!”

Liao Xuexue thought about it for a long time before she slowly nodded. “Got it, Grandpa. Mr. Ye’s very good at fishing, right? Is he a professional fishing athlete? You had me be his assistant because he often catches too many fish to handle them himself, and you’re on good terms with him, right? But, his personality is a little unpleasant. Is that what you’re saying?”

Mr. Liao scratched his head and nodded awkwardly. “Hmmmm. I guess so.”

Liao Xuexue clicked her tongue in disdain and waved her fist. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I won’t talk to him! Also, if he dares to take advantage of me, I’ll beat him up!”

“Good.” Mr. Liao heaved a sigh of relief, but then he suddenly thought of something. “By the way, don’t mention money. He’s very prideful and has already given me your salary. I’ll transfer the money to you later.”

Liao Xuexue blinked her watery eyes. Although she felt that her grandfather’s words were a little illogical, she still nodded obediently. “Okay, Grandpa. Just keep the money. I’m not short of money. Also, I promise to just focus on the job and ignore him. But… When is this Mr. Ye coming over?”

Mr. Liao frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, “He should be here soon. I called him just now, and he said he’s already on his way.”

At that moment, Liao Xuexue looked at the urn by her grandfather’s feet and asked in confusion, “Oh right, Grandpa. Why do you all have an urn by your feet? How unlucky is that?”

A mysterious smile appeared on Mr. Liao’s face. “You don’t understand. There’s metaphysics involved in fishing! Do you see the letters ‘R. I. P’ on the urn? It signifies how all the fish will rest in peace in our hands.”

Just as Mr. Liao finished speaking, the rumbling noise of an engine came from the shore.

A brand-new agricultural tractor appeared in front of everyone.

There was a roll of waterproof cloth on the back of the tractor, which was obviously used to block rainwater. At the same time, there were all kinds of fishing gear in the back container.

However, the most eye-catching item was the urn that looked similar to that of the few fishing pros on the shore.

A tanned young man was sitting in the tractor’s driver seat. At this moment, the young man was excitedly waving at the group of people on the shore.

It was Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had arrived later than the agreed time as he had to settle the administrative procedures required for riding an agricultural tractor and also get new fishing gear.

Ye Chen was excited at the number of people turning their heads to his tractor. It was much more than he had imagined.

It was no exaggeration to say that the agricultural tractor turned more heads than a sports car would.

In addition to the loud noise and eye-catching catching appearance of the vehicle, the various kinds of fishing gear placed in the rear compartment of the tractor captured everyone’s attention.

Now, Ye Chen only lacked a big fish at the rear compartment to complete his fishing pro look.

At that time, Ye Chen would drive his agricultural tractor around Jiang City no matter what.

After parking the tractor, Ye Chen noticed a sweet-looking girl in the distance.

As Ye Chen had met her before, he could recognize at a glance that that girl was Mr. Liao’s granddaughter.

When Ye Chen saw Mr. Liao’s bitter face, he was overjoyed. Since the bet was won fair and square, Ye Chen naturally would not hold back on ordering Xuexue around.

“Silly girl, come over and help!” Ye Chen shouted at the top of his voice.

Liao Xuexue was stunned when she heard that.

Silly girl?

There were no other females around Seyves Reservoir except for Liao Xuexue, so it was obvious that the young man was addressing her.

It was the first time in her life that Liao Xuexue had heard a stranger call her “silly girl”.

Liao Xuexue felt that Ye Chen was being too disrespectful.

For a moment, Liao Xuexue was embarrassed and angry, and her small face was slightly red.

“This… He’s your employer.” Mr. Liao gritted his teeth and finally sighed helplessly. “Xuexue, go and help him.”

Although Liao Xuexue was unwilling, her grandfather had already made an agreement with Ye Chen.

Liao Xuexue could only walk over indignantly. Before she did, she didn’t forget to say to her grandfather, “Grandpa, you’re right. This guy is not a good person!”

When the poor Liao Xuexue walked over, she realized that her “employer” had already gotten out of the tractor.

At the moment, Ye Chen was moving things from the back of the tractor.

Liao Xuexue was stunned when she saw the familiar face. He was indeed her grandfather’s fishing buddy.
