It was evening.

The pancake vendor, who was already preparing to close up shop, still received a large fish from Yu Huai.

When he saw a large group of people surrounding Yu Huai as he delivered the fish, he was completely stunned.

Especially when she saw that Yu Huai had brought over two large yellow croakers weighing five or six pounds each, her guilt reached its peak.

"I can't accept this," the pancake vendor declined. "How much is one of my pancakes worth? This whole fish of yours is worth hundreds of my pancakes."

Most importantly, his scallion pancake was loaded with "ingredients," making it both spicy and salty.

At the time, he thought he would use this cake to get revenge on the person who had played a trick on him, never expecting that the person would actually deliver the fish as promised.

How could he possibly accept such an expensive yellow croaker when it was just a prank?

Yu Huai did not show any negative emotions because of his "adding ingredients" to his body; on the contrary, he kept advising him.

"Take it. We're being sincere to each other. You let me eat pancakes for free, so I'll give you two fish. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"And the reason I'm bringing you fish isn't for anything else, it's just to let you know that I'm not bragging, I really do have fishing skills."

Hearing this, the shop owner gave a thumbs up, "To catch such a large yellow croaker in the sea, your skills are amazing!"

"Cough cough."

Yu Huai coughed twice. "Alright, boss, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After saying that, he put down the fish, turned around and left.

His footing was so fast, it was as if he were being chased by a dog.

When Yu Huai and Mu Linglan returned to the guesthouse arranged by the production team, the contestants were about to have dinner.

"Come on over, we've been waiting for you!"

Fang Zhiling stood up to greet them warmly, and the others also greeted the two of them with equal enthusiasm.

One of them has a large following, and the other has real talent. It's always a good idea to build good relationships with them.

The ten contestants quickly took their seats at the dining table.

Fang Zhiling looked at Yu Huai and asked curiously, "I haven't seen you two all day. You just came back from outside. Were you out looking for inspiration for your songs?"

Mu Linglan's expression froze.

It was only at this point that she remembered she was involved in songwriting.

She had too much fun with Yu Huai during the day, and although she initially remembered it, she eventually forgot about it altogether.

Yu Huai's expression remained unchanged. "Yes, I went looking for inspiration."

One of the composition contestants slapped his forehead and said, "That's right, how can I have good inspiration if I lock myself in my room all day? Looks like I need to go out for a walk tomorrow."

This person had clearly locked himself in his room for a whole day and hadn't managed to produce anything.

Another member of the composition team chimed in, "We really need to get out and about. We've come all this way to Wuzhen, how can we not take the time to appreciate the scenery of this ancient town in Jiangnan?"

"Call me tomorrow, let's go shopping together."

Unlike the other person, he sat in the room all day and had almost finished writing the most important piece.

With the melody ready, the rest of the lyrics can be filled in casually.

It's impossible to write anything too refined in just two days.

The audience should be able to understand that by then.

As for the suggestion of traveling together, it was obviously a tactic to delay the opponent. The person who just suggested going out has already shamelessly revealed all their secrets.

For the rest of the time, everyone started chatting amongst themselves.

Yu Huai did not participate in their conversation, but remained silent.

Others assumed he had been wandering around all day, and was composing lyrics and music in his mind, so they didn't disturb him.

After dinner, the contestants dispersed. The composing group locked themselves in their rooms to find inspiration, while the celestial group was much more relaxed and even had the mood to go out for a walk.

Yu Huai declined their invitation to go for a walk, washed up, and went straight to bed.

Inside the pitch-black room.

"Tick-tock".

A tear fell onto the pillow, was quickly absorbed, and left a small damp stain.

Yu Huai then recalled the enormous creature that was almost as tall as him during the day.

The memories became clearer and clearer. Was that bluefish, which was not much smaller than an ox, now showing off its heroic deeds during the day to its brothers and sisters?

"well……"

Yu Huai took a breath, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

That was a gigantic fish demon that was almost sentient and about to take human form!

I am so silly.

Why didn't we use a net to catch the fish back then?

If you put it on a net, it won't be able to escape, right?

The wet stains on the pillow grew larger and larger. Yu Huai, filled with regret, didn't know when she had fallen asleep.

the next day.

After washing up, Mu Linglan sat down at the dining table without putting on makeup.

Not seeing her partner, she asked the other contestants.

After asking around, everyone said they hadn't seen Yu Huai since they woke up this morning.

"Is he still not up?"

Mu Linglan asked curiously, because she remembered that Yu Huai seemed to be the first to fall asleep last night.

"Teacher Yu went out early this morning."

The staff member next to her answered her question.

"They went out?" Mu Linglan looked at the staff member. "Where did they go?"

What a scoundrel! He went out on his own without even telling his partner.

"I don't know. He didn't say where he was going, and then he took the cameraman out."

Mu Linglan suddenly remembered something, quickly took out her phone, and searched for Yu Huai on Douyin. Sure enough, she saw that the scoundrel was live streaming.

And he was fishing!

……

[Honey, why are you up so early today?]

[Brother Huai, I saw that video posted by the pancake vendor yesterday. Those two yellow croakers were so big! You're amazing!]

[Isn't this Wuzhen? Those are large yellow croakers from the sea, how did you catch them?]

[Is that even a question? Just because others can't catch it doesn't mean Brother Huai can't.]

Where am I?

Faced with a screen full of comments, Yu Huai selectively replied.

"I didn't have anything to do today, so I came early."

"This is another fishing spot. There aren't many people here, so the chances of catching fish are higher."

He didn't say the second half of his sentence.

It also helps avoid encountering some "lost" guys.

[Brother Huai, we don't want to look at the water, we want to see your handsome face]

Yu Huai naturally fulfilled this reasonable request from his fans.

So he flipped the camera and pointed it at himself.

The fans were shocked when they saw this.

Compared to Yu Huai yesterday, who was fully made up and looked like a sophisticated young man, he looked much more disheveled today.

Although her hair was clean, it wasn't styled and looked quite messy when a breeze blew it.

Moreover, she had dark circles under her eyes, and her whole face looked haggard.

[Host, host, is it because of that big fish that got away yesterday that you didn't sleep well?]

Yu Huai, who had been all smiles, changed his expression the moment he saw the comment that floated across the screen.

"What yesterday? What big fish?"

"This is my first time livestreaming fishing! What are you guys talking about?"

He should have kept quiet, because the moment he brought it up, the tone of the comments section shifted instantly.

Because his reactions were so funny, both the haters and the fans in the live stream couldn't help but tease him.

He kept bringing up the giant creature from yesterday, rubbing salt into his wounds.

Yu Huai took a deep breath and blurted out the words, his tone a mixture of helplessness and anger.

"Friends, life is a long journey. Don't dwell on the past; look forward. So, let's not talk about what happened yesterday; let's look ahead, okay?"

Even Yu Deshui has "betrayed" us.

[Okay, Brother Huai, so you're like this today because the fish got away yesterday, so you didn't sleep well?]
