Chapter 600: Chapter 0601: Catching the Big Fish Tonight

Ye Qiu moved the large bag of fishing nets and thick rope to the trunk of the car, almost stuffing it in.

Besides these, Ye Qiu knew he also needed a large box of petrol. If he wanted to buy petrol directly from the petrol station, it wouldn’t be possible. He could only refuel his car and then extract it later.

Of course, Ye Qiu didn’t have to go through that trouble; he directly called Cai Yong and asked him to prepare a large box of petrol.

Cai Yong found it baffling, but since Brother Qiu instructed him, he didn’t dare to ask too many questions.

"Lingshow, do you need to buy anything else?"

"I don’t think so."

Liu Lingxiu replied.

She didn’t want to buy anything other than her sanitary pads.

"Then let’s go back."

They headed back to Liu Lingxiu’s house.

Back at Liu Lingxiu’s house, she took the Sofy pads she bought and went to the bathroom to change. Indeed, she felt much more comfortable, and the fishy smell was gone.

Just as Ye Qiu was unloading the large bag of fishing nets, Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong came back from work.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s car, they knew he was there.

"Ye Qiu, you’re here?"

Zhang Yuehong was very happy to see Ye Qiu.

Because they had no son, only a daughter, Zhang Yuehong and Liu Daqing were often a bit envious when they saw other families with sons. But at their age, it was impossible to have more children.

So, before Ye Qiu took his college entrance exam, when he often visited, they almost treated him like their son.

Now, Ye Qiu was too successful. If they had such an excellent son, it would be great.

"Uncle, Auntie, you just got off work?"

"Just got off. What are you carrying?"

When Liu Lingxiu came out from changing her sanitary pad, she said to her mother, "Mom, Ye Qiu and I just bought fishing nets. He said he wants to fish."

"Fishing?"

The house was near the Yangtze River, and there were indeed big fish by the shore. But with so many people fishing every day, it was hard to catch anything. Moreover, given Ye Qiu’s situation, he didn’t need to go through such hard work to catch fish.

Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong were puzzled, but they simply thought Ye Qiu genuinely wanted to go fishing.

Seeing Ye Qiu, Zhang Yuehong immediately began preparing a hearty lunch, even grabbing a home-raised chicken to slaughter.

"Auntie, don’t you want to open a store with Uncle and just sit there to collect money?"

"I do want to, but I don’t think I can handle it."

Zhang Yuehong replied.

Who wouldn’t want an easy job? But Zhang Yuehong felt she needed to be capable of doing it.

Ye Qiu knew it was useless to say more, so he didn’t press further.

Once Zhang Yuehong and Liu Daqing finished cooking lunch, the four of them sat down to eat.

After lunch, Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong went back to the factory for work.

Only Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu were left.

"Lingshow, where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere is fine."

Liu Lingxiu still thought Ye Qiu came just to hang out with her.

However, with the afternoon sun blazing, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu decided to drive around the place he had taken Zhao Ruxue last time. Then, around 4 p.m., Ye Qiu drove to a Western restaurant to have dinner with Liu Lingxiu.

At the entrance of the restaurant, seeing Ye Qiu arrive in his car, the female attendant dared not underestimate him.

Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu went inside and sat at a couple’s seat. After ordering steak, Liu Lingxiu propped her chin and looked at Ye Qiu, asking, "So you said we’re going fishing? When are we going?"

"We’ll fish tonight; it won’t rain during the day."

Believing him, Liu Lingxiu thought night fishing was pretty dangerous and didn’t want Ye Qiu to go.

Returning to Liu Lingxiu’s house after the Western dinner, it was already past 5 p.m. Zhang Yuehong and Liu Daqing thought they had left but were surprised to see Ye Qiu still there.

"Ye Qiu, are you not going back to Peach Blossom Source Residential Area tonight?"

"Auntie, I’m not going back tonight."

Zhang Yuehong thought, knowing the house had only two rooms, if Ye Qiu didn’t go back, would he share a room with Liu Lingxiu?

That would surely be impossible.

Zhang Yuehong didn’t want them to be intimate too soon, afraid they might get carried away sharing a room. But then again, with Liu Lingxiu’s period just started, Ye Qiu probably wouldn’t try anything.

"Ye Qiu, you can sleep in Daqing’s room, and I’ll sleep with Lingshow."

Zhang Yuehong suggested.

"Auntie, I’ll sleep in the living room. I might need to get up for fishing at midnight."

This made both Zhang Yuehong and Liu Lingxiu truly believe Ye Qiu was there to fish, especially since he bought fishing nets and planned to stay all night. What else could he be doing?

"Ye Qiu, fishing at night is very dangerous."

Liu Daqing said.

Living near the river, he knew well the perils of the water. Many good swimmers among the fishermen had drowned.

"Uncle, don’t worry. I’ll be fine."

Unable to understand, Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong said no more.

Around 7 p.m., the family had finished dinner and was watching TV in the living room. Ye Qiu went outside, observing the dusky and humid sky, which suggested it wouldn’t rain.

Based on his observations of Liu Lingxiu’s appearance, he believed the person who harmed Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming might target her next.

So, he had to stay and eliminate the threat before leaving.

Earlier in the day, he had Cai Yong prepare a big barrel of petrol but hadn’t had it delivered yet.

Cai Yong’s place wasn’t far from here. Since the sky was still young and the assailant wouldn’t come soon, Ye Qiu felt there was still time.

At around 9 p.m., Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong took their baths and went to their room to rest. They were exhausted from a day at the factory.

Before resting, Zhang Yuehong even told Liu Lingxiu to behave herself with Ye Qiu.

Liu Lingxiu used to be clueless but, now at eighteen or nineteen, had a vague understanding of such things.

Liu Lingxiu took her bath first, then went to her room to read, while Ye Qiu watched TV in the living room, with the volume turned down low.

Though Ye Qiu appeared to be watching TV, his mind was elsewhere.

At midnight, Ye Qiu took a cold shower. By this time, Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong were sound asleep.

Ye Qiu assumed Liu Lingxiu was also asleep when suddenly she tiptoed out of her room, looking at Ye Qiu, saying, "Ye Qiu, come sleep in my room!"

The living room only had an electric fan, while her room had an air conditioner installed by Liu Daqing to keep his daughter cool.
