Chapter 1114: Chapter 573: Miracles Are Everywhere_2

Hearing this, the enthusiastic Fifth Young Master Guo looked up and shouted, "Chen Shimei, let’s see if you can catch a fish yourself. I bet you can’t even catch a dead fish..."

The name Chen Shimei was indeed very well-known.

Upon hearing this name, Xu Xiaoyan burst into laughter.

Looking beside her, Guo Jingya couldn’t help but chuckle as she explained to Xu Xiaoyan, "That’s the arch-enemy of Fifth Brother and Third Brother. They call him Chen Shimei, but that’s not his real name... But they really are sworn enemies. It’s funny they would run into each other in such a vast sea..."

Upon understanding, Xu Xiaoyan noticed from Guo Jingya’s tone that the ’sworn enemy’ she mentioned was probably not about life-and-death hatred, but more likely about young masters competing out of jealousy!

The subsequent behavior of Chen Shimei confirmed Xu Xiaoyan’s guess. Not getting angry at the name used by Fifth Young Master Guo, he bent down, fiddled around beside him, and lifted up a fish: "See, this is fishing. Have you brothers ever seen a black seabream weighing ten catties? Sister Xiao Ya, take a good look and be my witness... And you, beauty, make sure to see it clearly too—only when a lively fish flips and flops about upon being caught, can it be called fishing. Your fish..."

He hadn’t finished his sentence when a crew member beside Fifth Young Master Guo suddenly pushed him, exclaiming, "Young master, watch out..."

Just then, the black-spotted grouper, which seemed almost dead, suddenly started thrashing violently, almost knocking a staff member, who was measuring the fish, off into the sea...

As the two-hundred-catty fish was struggling for its life, the crew members hurriedly pulled Guo Jingya and the others back, no longer caring about the unfortunate staff member.

The black-spotted grouper thrashed a few times, then leaped from the deck, tracing a skewed arc in the air before plunging back into the sea with a splash.

Chen Shimei, still holding the black seabream, was dumbfounded, and so were the onlookers who had been ready to leave—were the fishes these days too cunning? Was that playing dead just now? If fishes were that clever, what was the point of fishing anymore?

After being dumbfounded, everyone felt somewhat regretful. As fellow fishermen, it was disheartening to see Fifth Young Master Guo and his group ’finally’ catch such a rare large grouper, only to have it escape back to the sea, more disappointing than a cooked duck flying away.

The feelings of Fifth Young Master Guo and his group were complicated; they were startled, happy, relieved, and angered...

Startled because they nearly got hit by the fish’s tail, which would have been painful; happy because the fish turned out to be alive; relieved that everyone was still safely on the boat; angered because the fish was gone...

Chen Shimei, still in shock, suddenly burst into laughter again, "Hahahaha... Congratulations to the two young masters, your fish was indeed alive... Hahahaha..."

The latter part didn’t need to be said; everyone understood—it was unfortunate the fish had returned to the sea, their efforts just now were in vain!

Fifth Young Master Guo, who was already feeling upset, became even angrier upon hearing this, "Chen Shimei, stop making fun of us. If it weren’t for your interruption, we would have moved the fish to the kitchen by now, it wouldn’t have gotten away!"

Chen Shimei was even more delighted seeing him angry, "If you were able to hook it once, just hook it again! With the skills of the two young masters, it should be easy..."

The onlookers, hearing this challenge, didn’t know what to say: Is that something you should say? Even the best anglers haven’t heard of a fish that was caught and then escaped, being caught again. Not to mention how vast the sea is, just consider the fish... how foolish would a fish have to be to get caught again in such a short period of time?

Even amateurs like Xu Xiaoyan and Guo Jingya’s sister Nana, knew Chen Shimei was deliberately provoking Fifth Young Master Guo and Third Brother; but, riding on his high emotions, he blurted out without thinking, "If I catch it again, will you swim over here and apologize to me?"

Chen Shimei, triumphant, replied, "Good... If you can’t catch it before tonight... you two brothers swim over here, I won’t ask for an apology but treat you to the black seabream I caught, how about that?"

Although Third Young Master Guo urgently tried to intervene, Fifth Young Master Guo had already blurted out his agreement.

Chen Shimei laughed loudly, "Alright, it’s settled then. We have so many witnesses here, and you, Fifth Young Master Guo, are a man of standing. Don’t go back on your word now!"

Third Young Master Guo, who always cared about his image, looked around at the other onlookers and knew that today’s face was probably as retrievable as the grouper that had jumped back into the sea. He whispered to his brother, "Let it go, Fifth. The fish has escaped, so let’s just keep fishing. What’s the point in arguing with Chen Shimei?"

Fifth Young Master Guo fumed, "I just can’t stand his smug attitude..."

Chen Shimei seized the moment to strike further, "Fifth Young Master, enough talking. Don’t just catch that grouper you lost, just make sure the fish you catch today outnumber mine, and I will swim over and apologize to you. I’ll even count the fish caught by those beauties with you..."

Xu Xiaoyan, with sharp eyes, glanced at the beauties standing behind Chen Shimei, then at Fifth Young Master Guo: You’re probably more upset that he’s with those beauties, aren’t you?
