Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Overnight Stay

Ye Chen glanced around, then at the fish in the lake, and said to Lin Yuxuan, "Patience is key, sooner or later a fish will bite."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Lin Yuxuan quickly reached her hand into the lake.

A bone-chilling breeze blew past, making Lin Yuxuan shiver involuntarily, but she didn’t feel a hint of fear.

Seeing this, Ye Chen hastily removed his own jacket and draped it over Lin Yuxuan, which somewhat alleviated her chill.

Wearing Ye Chen’s jacket and feeling his warm body heat, Lin Yuxuan’s heart was filled with warmth.

The two sat by the lake for a good half hour, but not a single fish took the bait. By this time, the sky had gradually darkened, night had fallen, and Lin Yuxuan’s stomach had started growling loudly from hunger.

"Ye Chen, I’m so hungry. I want to eat something, but I don’t have anything with me. What do I do?" Lin Yuxuan looked at Ye Chen with a slight sense of grievance.

"Ha-ha, silly girl, have you forgotten what I brought?" Ye Chen said enigmatically.

"What did you bring?" Lin Yuxuan looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled face.

"Guess," Ye Chen said with a smile, watching Lin Yuxuan.

Lin Yuxuan thought for a moment and then shook her head.

"Hehe, you guessed wrong!" Ye Chen chuckled, "I brought barbecue and milk, which are both your favorites!"

"Barbecue and milk?" Lin Yuxuan was surprised. "Ye Chen, how did you think of this idea so late?"

Instead of answering, Ye Chen pulled out two chicken wings from his pocket and handed them to Lin Yuxuan.

"Wow, Ye Chen, how did you know I love this kind of barbecue and milk?" Lin Yuxuan picked up a grilled chicken wing and happily exclaimed.

"Hehe, just a guess. I’ve got my eye on every move you make!"

"Then I’ll eat a little more." Lin Yuxuan happily began eating. Although the taste was not very good, she still finished three chicken wings.

Seeing Lin Yuxuan enjoying her meal, Ye Chen smiled gently and looking into the distance, he said, "Let’s camp out here tonight. The lakeside environment is quite nice."

Lin Yuxuan nodded, "Yeah, that sounds great! The lake is really beautiful. I like it!"

"Then I’ll go and grill some fish for you to eat. Just wait for me."

"Mm." Lin Yuxuan nodded her head.

Ye Chen left the lakeside to prepare the grilled fish for Lin Yuxuan.

"You should drink some beverages first. After you’re done with the drinks, you can have the barbecue!"

"Okay, Ye Chen, you are really kind!" Lin Yuxuan happily nodded, took the beverage from Ye Chen’s hand, and began to gulp it down.

Ye Chen smiled, "Take it easy. No one’s competing with you. I’m going to grab the fishing spear!"

After he spoke, he picked up the spear and started selecting fish.

Ye Chen was fast, picking out five or six fish both large and small almost in the blink of an eye, which left Lin Yuxuan astounded.

Wasn’t this too amazing?

"Ye Chen, you’re so amazing!"

"Hehe, I think so too. Alright, let’s clean the fish now, then start grilling."

"Okay!"

Ye Chen picked up the grill stand, threaded the fish onto it above the grill, and then flipped them.

"It smells so good!" Lin Yuxuan sniffed the tantalizing aroma of the grilled fish, swallowed saliva without being able to help herself, and then began to taste it.

Lin Yuxuan’s cooking skills were quite impressive, and not many could compare.

Ye Chen also tasted Lin Yuxuan’s culinary creations, finding them quite delicious. He couldn’t help but praise, "Not bad, the flavor is very fresh and tasty."

"Hehe, Ye Chen, come and try some."

Lin Yuxuan eagerly pulled Ye Chen over to the grill.

"Alright!" Without any pretense, Ye Chen grabbed a fork from the side and began to feast happily.

After eating for a bit, both of them were full. Ye Chen wiped the corner of his mouth and said to Lin Yuxuan, "Let’s rest for a while. When daylight comes, I’ll teach you how to catch some fish. It’s getting late, we should head back home now."

"Mhm." Lin Yuxuan nodded obediently and then helped Ye Chen set up the tent and build a fire for warmth.

"Ye Chen, thank you," Lin Yuxuan suddenly said.

"Thank me?" Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment.

"Yeah, I was really grateful watching you help me catch fish just now," Lin Yuxuan said. "You’re really amazing."

Ye Chen shook his head: "No need to be polite; as long as you’re happy, I’m happy. Do we even need to say thank you to each other?"

"Mhm!" Lin Yuxuan nodded vigorously. "I understand. Next time something similar happens, I won’t trouble you, Ye Chen. I will learn well, and once I do, I’ll definitely grill fish for you to eat."

"Okay!"

Suddenly, Lin Yuxuan threw herself into Ye Chen’s arms, hugging his waist tightly and pressing her cheeks against his chest in a coquettish manner.

Ye Chen’s heart was pounding non-stop, his breathing gradually becoming heavy.

This tender moment was what he had always dreamed of.

"Xuanxuan, let’s go into the tent. There are too many mosquitoes out here; they might bite," Ye Chen said gently, patting Lin Yuxuan’s back to comfort her.

"Mhm!"

Lin Yuxuan nodded, let go of Ye Chen, and then walked into the tent with him.

Ye Chen placed their clothes on a plank to the side and took out his own bedding to lay on top of it. This way, even if Lin Yuxuan got cold, she would be able to sleep comfortably.

Lying on the spread-out bedding, Lin Yuxuan closed her eyes to rest. Watching Ye Chen busy himself for her, she felt an overwhelming sense of happiness filling her heart.

Seeing Ye Chen bustling around, she suddenly asked, "Ye Chen, once you win this fishing competition, you’ll become a big star, huh? Won’t your fans swarm around you then?"

Hearing Lin Yuxuan’s words, Ye Chen couldn’t help but chuckle. He touched his cheek, a bit bitterly saying, "If I really can win the competition, for sure I’ll become a national heartthrob, but..."

"Ye Chen, don’t lose heart!" Lin Yuxuan said quickly upon seeing him a bit downhearted.

"Of course, I won’t lose heart! I’m just a little worried about what to do in case I end up losing!"

"Don’t worry, I will definitely cheer for you!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I swear, I won’t let you fail, Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen saw Lin Yuxuan’s earnest expression and couldn’t help but smile.

Lin Yuxuan, gazing at his profile, had eyes brimming with tenderness; her cheeks were rosy red, like apples.

"Ye Chen, I’m sleepy. I want to go to sleep now, good night."

"Alright, good night. Go to sleep!"

Ye Chen nodded his head as Lin Yuxuan’s breathing gradually became even; she’d fallen asleep.

Looking at the sleeping Lin Yuxuan, Ye Chen couldn’t help but smile with contentment. It seemed Lin Yuxuan was worn out as well.
