Gu Qing then took out bait and bait water to prepare.

For someone who has never fished before, fishing might seem like simply putting bait on a hook and casting it into any body of water that looks like it might have fish.

However, in reality, both the choice of fishing spot and the preparation of bait are tailored to the specific fish species being targeted.

"Next is adjusting the float, and finally baiting and casting."

Gu Qing carefully demonstrated for Su Xiyue.

The fact that the girl came to fish with him was something that made him happy, especially since she was also interested in learning how to fish.

Although people say that fishing is a lonely activity, it is actually a blessing to have someone to fish with.

Therefore, in order to let Su Xiyue experience the charm of fishing, Gu Qing taught her very seriously.

As for Su Xiyue, she had not yet felt the charm of fishing, but she had already truly felt the charm of Gu Qing's seriousness and focus.

This was different from her usual studying or cooking; at this moment, Gu Qing was radiating light.

Su Xiyue could clearly sense that Gu Qing was seriously doing something he liked.

Watching Gu Qing bait the hook, try casting the line, and then flick it with his wrist, his demeanor exuded a heroic and sharp air.

"Now all we need to do is wait quietly."

Seeing that the float was in the correct position, Gu Qing sat down on a small stool, held the fishing rod in one hand, and looked at the girl beside him, explaining:

"Fishing is a patient activity; you have to learn to wait and seize the opportunity."

As Su Xiyue listened, she imitated Gu Qing's swing and completed the swing.

But perhaps because she used too much force, the hook landed a bit further away than the baiting spot.

"The spot is a bit far from where we baited the area, let's cast again," Gu Qing said with a smile.

Beginners are prone to making basic mistakes.

After looking at it, Su Xiyue didn't swing the rod again, but said, "It's fine if it's farther away, that way the fish will all eat the green bait!"

She hoped Gu Qing would have fun and catch enough fish, or big enough fish.

As for herself, she had come with Gu Qing.

Compared to fish, she would rather be Gu Qing's fish.

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

Gu Qing stopped trying to persuade her. Perhaps after he caught a fish and Su Xiyue remained silent, the girl would understand what "old man's experience" meant.

Ten minutes later, the water was still and the float remained calm.

Gu Qing glanced at the time and said, "Fishing is so patient..."

"They've taken the bait—!"

Before Gu Qing could finish speaking, Su Xiyue exclaimed in surprise, then excitedly and haphazardly began reeling in the fishing line.

"That won't work, don't rush!"

Gu Qing didn't dwell on why Su Xiyue had taken the bait first; instead, upon seeing the girl's reckless behavior, he immediately decided to correct her.

But the girl's hand speed was so fast that she didn't care about any so-called techniques; she just reeled in the line at lightning speed.

Just as Gu Qing was about to lend a helping hand, a phosphorescent substance flew out of the water and splashed water droplets onto Gu Qing's face.

77. Su Xiyue: Gu Qing is the real big fish!

A fish slightly larger than the palm of a hand was biting the hook, struggling weakly in front of Gu Qing.

The scales reflected the light, and the round, dark eyes stared at the two people on the shore.

Gu Qing looked at the fish that Su Xiyue had haphazardly pulled up in front of him, and his lips twitched slightly.

"Is this what it means to be a newbie's lucky streak?"

Gu Qing thought to himself.

He couldn't think of any other reason besides that.

Experience and skills were nowhere to be seen in Su Xiyue.

After thinking it over, only luck can reasonably explain it.

Su Xiyue did not notice anything unusual about Gu Qing at this time.

She was still immersed in the wonderful feeling of the moment the lever was pulled and hooked.

In life, there is a kind of happiness called "harvest," which the girl is now truly experiencing.

Previously unable to understand the joy of fishing, she gradually experienced a sense of satisfaction as she went through a series of fishing activities and finally pulled the rod to collect her catch.

This caused a joyful smile to unconsciously spread across her face.

Backlit by the sun, Gu Qing was briefly struck by that youthful, radiant smile.

But when he looked at his still float, that momentary heartbeat quickly turned into a spike in blood pressure.

"See, fishing is quite fun, isn't it?"

Gu Qing guided the girl to remove the fish that had just been caught and put it into the fish basket.

"It's really fun!"

Su Xiyue rebaited the hook, then twisted her waist and cast the line again.

This time, the girl used even more force, and the hook attached to the fishing line drew an arc in the air before landing further away from the baited area.

Seeing this, Gu Qing shook his head and said, "It was just luck just now. The fish nearby were probably all attracted by the bait. It's hard to catch any fish when you cast that far."

"I'm just giving it a try!"

Su Xiyue scratched the back of her head, completely unconcerned.

She didn't want to compete with Gu Qing for the fish.

Although the moment of catching a fish felt wonderful, it couldn't compare to the smile on Gu Qing's face.

What she really wanted to catch was a fish she had never seen before!

"Then come on!"

Gu Qing stopped trying to dissuade him.

Today, fishing is more of a sport than a survival skill.

So whether you can catch fish or not is not important; what's important is cultivating your mindset and finding enjoyment in it.

five minutes later.

Gu Qing sat on a small stool, looking at the motionless float, her heart as still as water.

Meanwhile, feeling the fishing rod tremble in her hand, Su Xiyue exclaimed, "It's happening again!"

As she spoke, Su Xiyue quickly turned the retractor, but felt a resistance.

Looking at the splashing waves in the distance, Gu Qing immediately said, "Don't rush, let's play the fish first, this one is quite big!"

"Playing fish?"

Su Xiyue didn't understand what Gu Qing was saying at all; she just kept turning her hands frantically.

It's just a matter of being stronger than a fish, isn't it?

How could a young and strong woman like her be afraid of a fish?

Gu Qing then realized that Su Xiyue was still a newbie and couldn't understand him at all, so he quickly explained:

"Reel in and release the line to weaken the fish's strength, then reel it in sharply at the end!"

He really wanted to go up and help, or even do it himself.

However, in the fishing world, unless you encounter a large fish that one person cannot handle, bystanders should try not to intervene.

One of the joys of fishing is conquering a big fish on your own.

But at this moment, Su Xiyue was completely caught in a struggle with the fish.

The girl, unwilling to admit defeat, suddenly clamped the fishing rod between her legs, then exerted all her strength in her arms, veins bulging, as she turned the reel with all her might.

"Get up here—!"

The girl let out a low growl, her lower body curled up, her two feet firmly planted on the ground as if rooted to the spot.

With gas rising from the exertion, Su Xiyue, her face flushed red, reeled in the line without a care.

Seeing this, Gu Qing shook his head helplessly.

Using this method, it's only a matter of time before the big fish gets off the hook.

However, this is a common problem for beginners.

Only by learning from mistakes can we gain experience and succeed next time.
