Kobayashi was the first to notice the ship's movements.

She put away her fishing rod, walked over to Luo Fei, and whispered, "Mr. Luo, that boat behind us seems to be approaching us."

Luo Fei glanced back and saw that the ship had sailed about a hundred meters away. Several figures on the deck were clearly visible, and the music was getting louder and louder, with the drumbeats making people's eardrums buzz.

He frowned slightly, said nothing, but nodded to indicate that he was aware of the situation.

Captain Sun, who was in the bridge, also noticed the movement of the ship.

He picked up the walkie-talkie, whispered a few words, and then put it down.

His expression was calm, but his right hand unconsciously rested on the control panel, ready to accelerate or turn at any moment.

Li Xiulan and Luo Weidong also noticed something was wrong and turned to look behind them.

Li Xiulan noticed that the ship was smaller than theirs, and the men and women on the deck were dressed in brightly colored clothes. The music was so loud that it could be heard even from a distance. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "These young people are so noisy."

Luo Weidong glanced at it and then turned back to stare at his own float, saying, "Don't worry about others, just watch your float."

The yacht slowed down about thirty meters away from them, maintaining a speed similar to that of the Luo spaceship, and sailed side by side.

Several young men on the deck walked to the side of the ship and looked in this direction.

One of the young men, wearing sunglasses, raised his hand, waved in their direction, and shouted, "Hey! Friends! Your boat is beautiful!"

The sea breeze diffused his voice somewhat, but it was still audible.

The other young people also waved, their expressions appearing very friendly and without malice, as if they had seen something good and couldn't help but want to get closer to take a look.

Luo Fei glanced at them, but did not respond or show any hostility. He simply glanced at them briefly and then looked away, continuing to focus on his float.

He didn't want to cause trouble, nor did he want to interact too much with strangers while spending time with his parents.

Standing behind Luo Fei, Xiao Lin asked in a low voice, "Mr. Luo, should we tell the captain to speed up and shake them off?"

Luo Fei shook his head: "No need. They're just curious, they'll leave after a while. Just ignore them."

Kobayashi nodded, said nothing more, and stepped aside, but kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the ship, remaining vigilant.

On the yacht, the young man wearing sunglasses, seeing no response, wasn't angry; instead, he became even more interested.

He turned to the man with the buzz cut next to him and said, "See? They completely ignore us. That's what real people are like, unlike those nouveau riche who flaunt their wealth to everyone they meet."

The man with the buzz cut chuckled, "Aren't you just offering your warm welcome to someone who won't listen?"

The young man wearing sunglasses shrugged and said, "I'm not losing out. I just wanted to see the ship and maybe meet the owner. Someone who can sail a ship like that is definitely not an ordinary person. Who knows, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future?"

He thought for a moment and said to a young man next to him, "Go and get a few bottles of good wine. If they're willing to chat later, give them over as a greeting gift."

The young man responded and ran into the cabin.

On Luo Fei's boat, Li Xiulan's fishing rod suddenly moved.

The rod tip suddenly dipped down and then bounced back up, the fishing line was stretched taut, and the rod bent into a bow.

"Oh! A fish has taken the bait! A fish has taken the bait!"

Li Xiulan exclaimed in surprise and frantically tried to grab the fishing rod, almost tipping the rod holder over.

Luo Fei stepped forward, helped his mother hold the fishing rod, and steadied her wrist.

"Mom, don't rush, take your time. First, lift it up a little to make sure the hook is secure, then reel in the line."

He held his mother's hand and guided her through the process.

Li Xiulan's hands trembled slightly, but she still followed her son's rhythm. First, she gently lifted the rod, causing it to bend even more. Then she started reeling in the line. Although her movements were a bit flustered, the fishing line was indeed being reeled in little by little.

Luo Weidong forgot about his fishing rod and came over to watch the excitement, his eyes wide open.

Xiao Lin and Xiao Wang also came over. Xiao Lin shouted "Go, Auntie!" while Xiao Wang picked up the net and squatted down by the side of the boat, ready to go.

On the sea, a silvery-white fish thrashed and twisted in the waves, desperately trying to break free.

The fishing line hummed as it was pulled, and the reel made a squeaking sound.

Li Xiulan gritted her teeth and vigorously cranked the fishing reel, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

"Push! Push! Almost there!"

Luo Weidong shouted loudly from the side.

Luo Fei held his mother's wrist tightly, helping her control the force so that the fishing line wouldn't break or the fish wouldn't escape.

He said softly, "Mom, slow down. This last part is the most crucial. Don't rush, take your time."

Li Xiulan took a deep breath, steadied her wrist, and began to reel in the fishing reel in circles.

The fish was getting closer and closer, and we could make out its appearance. It was about two feet long, with silvery-white scales that shimmered in the sunlight. Its tail slapped the water's surface, splashing up droplets.

Xiao Wang seized the opportunity, extended the landing net, and scooped up the fish steadily.

"We're up! We're up!"

He shouted and pulled the fish out of the net. It was a beautiful bass, weighing about twenty pounds, its mouth opening and closing, and its gill covers constantly flapping.

Li Xiulan released the fishing rod, leaned back in her chair, and gasped for breath, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

She turned to look at Luo Weidong, then at Luo Fei, then at Xiao Lin and Xiao Wang, her expression like that of a child who had just gotten a perfect score, eager to tell everyone the good news.

Luo Weidong looked at the fish with an expression of envy and resentment. He said, "It's just good luck," but his eyes were fixed on the fish. He even reached out and touched the fish scales before quickly pulling his hand back.

Xiaolin took out her phone and quickly snapped a few photos.

Li Xiulan realized what was happening and quickly asked, "Did you take a picture? Let me see!"

Xiao Lin handed over the phone. On the screen, Li Xiulan was sitting in a fishing chair, holding a fishing rod in her hand, with a bright smile on her face. Luo Weidong next to her was looking at the fish in her hand with envy.

"This photo is great." Li Xiulan was increasingly satisfied with it. "Send it to me, I want to post it on my WeChat Moments."

Xiaolin smiled and sent the photo to her.

Li Xiulan held her phone, her fingers flying across the screen, and wrote: "The fish I caught! We'll have it for dinner!"

After sending the message, she held up her phone for Luo Weidong to see. Luo Weidong glanced at it, snorted, and turned to look at his fishing rod.

Luo Fei stood to the side, watching his mother's beaming face and his father's feigned indifference while stealing glances at the fish from time to time. His smile grew wider and wider.

On the yacht, several young people witnessed the lively scene and couldn't help but laugh.

The young man wearing sunglasses shook his head and said, "Forget it, they're having a great time as a family, let's not disturb them. Let's talk about it another time."

He turned and walked back to the sofa, sat down, picked up his wine glass and took a sip, but his gaze still couldn't help but drift towards the luxury yacht.
