Chapter 438: Chapter 438: The Upper Stream is Mine, The Lower Stream is Yours

"I’m sorry," Shang Shuyue squeezed out three words through clenched teeth, with her eyes closed.

Jiang Li responded indifferently, "What? I didn’t hear it."

In an instant, Shang Shuyue’s face turned beet red.

"You’re doing this on purpose!"

Jiang Li smiled, "Lady Shang, since it’s an apology, it’s naturally better if it’s sincere."

[Hahaha, Lili is just too mean.]

[It feels like she’s back, this is my Sister Li!]

Shang Shuyue was already at her breaking point, yet her teammates behind her kept urging her to make peace.

Having no other choice, she managed to force a stiff smile towards Jiang Li, then deliberately raised her voice several decibels—

"I said, I’m, sorry!"

Jiang Li waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, I forgive you. You guys can stay."

Watching her nonchalant demeanor, Shang Shuyue nearly fainted from anger.

However, her teammates had already started cheering, unwrapping their packs and preparing to set up camp right there.

"This spot is really great, let’s just stay here for today."

"Good idea, let’s set up the tents, I’m dead tired from walking."

"Finally, we can drink water, this is so great!"

Seeing this, Shang Shuyue could only stomp her foot in frustration and then started to set up tents with her teammates.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflict, Jiang Li specifically drew a dividing line next to the creek.

Then she pointed at the line and said:

"The upstream is mine, the downstream is yours."

[Hahahahahaha, I’m laughing so hard I’m dizzy.]

[I admire Sister Li’s roundabout way of insulting people.]

[Hahaha, I’ve learned another slang for insulting people.]

Hearing this, Shang Shuyue nearly jumped up in anger.

She remembered that when she first shared a desk with Jiang Li in their sophomore year of high school, there was such a line dividing their desk, and the two had fought several times over their respective territories.

But she never managed to beat Jiang Li.

As soon as the college entrance exams were over, she had even signed up for Sanda martial arts classes.

Unfortunately for her, she got into Hua University, while Jiang Li went to an insignificant college.

Thinking of this, Shang Shuyue’s mood improved considerably.

Throughout their three years of high school, she was always outdone by Jiang Li, only in academics did she manage not to fall behind.

This was her proudest point.

"Heh, it’s just some upstream water, who cares? Maybe you’ve drunk all the dirty things there first!"

Her teammates, who had wanted to console her, were stunned by her words.

"So, Captain, you only care about whether the water is clean or not, and not that you were insulted? I’m so touched."

Shang Shuyue: ?

"What insult?"

Teammate: ?

"You didn’t hear her calling you ’low class’?"

Shang Shuyue: ??

[Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter, so this Lady is utterly clueless about Jiang Li insulting her?]

[I checked online, and she’s from Hua University, really? That’s it?]

[Hua University’s social education is the easiest to pass, plus she’s a local from the Capital, so it’s quite normal for her to get in.]

Upon realizing what had happened, she immediately grabbed the only wooden stick in their group and stormed across the creek with a fierce look on her face.

But the scene before her made her instantly forget her purpose—

Jiang Li was holding a sharpened stick, her pant legs rolled up high, standing on the bank, staring motionlessly at the water.

Aware of her intentions, Shang Shuyue immediately burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, I’m dying, Jiang Li, you’re not actually planning to catch fish with that thing, are you? To say nothing of how clear this stream is, it’s unlikely there are any fish at all—let alone that you could catch even a tiny shrimp with that sorry stick in your hand?"

However, Shu Yue couldn’t laugh the next second.

Because Jiang Li had just pulled a branch out of the water, and on its sharp end was impaled a plump grass carp.

Shu Yue: ????

There really is a fish?!

Jiang Li calmly scraped the still struggling fish off the branch and threw it at Yu Li’s feet.

The big fish thrashed a few times on the ground before flopping onto Yu Li’s hiking boots, which cost tens of thousands of yuan.

"Ah!!!!"

He let out a high-pitched scream that didn’t seem to belong to him, and then he stepped back several paces one after another.

Jiang Li: ?

[puzzled emojis] What was that scream just now??

[hilarious emojis] Was that really a sound Dean Yu made? Hahahaha.

[grateful emojis] Thanks, I’ve recorded it as my ringtone and will play it in front of Old Yu when I go back to school.

[warning emojis] Fellow student above, consider this a massage warning.

Realizing his fluster, Yu Li quickly regained his composure and awkwardly covered his lips with his hand.

"Well, cough cough, I was distracted and got scared."

Jiang Li gave him a look that said "Do you think I believe that?" and then nudged her head toward him, "Have you recovered now?"

"Yes."

"Alright then, you take the axe and deal with the fish."

Yu Li: "Um...?"

"What’s the matter, can’t you?"

How could Dr. Yu, endowed with great powers and unbeaten everywhere, admit he couldn’t?

He first shook his head, then nodded, and finally strode confidently towards the grass carp with that stone axe in hand.

Jiang Li’s gaze finally shifted away from him and stepped back into the stream.

Shang Shuyue sneered from the side.

Catching one fish was just Jiang Li’s good luck.

She didn’t believe Jiang Li could catch a second one!

However, five minutes later, Jiang Li pulled a bigger grass carp onto the shore.

Shu Yue: !!!!

How did she do that?!

Witnessing this miracle herself, she lost the interest in settling scores with Jiang Li and immediately turned around, running back to her own camp.

If Jiang Li could catch two fish in just ten minutes, their larger group could definitely catch more!

By then, they’d keep a few to eat and exchange the rest for points—wouldn’t that be wonderful?!

On this side, Jiang Li carried the fish to shore.

But Yu Li was still in the same stance as a few minutes ago, not having moved an inch.

Jiang Li walked over and discovered Yu Li holding the stone axe still as a statue, and in front of him, the previously lively grass carp was now motionless.

Jiang Li fell silent for a second.

"Dr. Yu, truly a doctor with a heart of compassion, even giving the dead fish a moment of prayer before the kill."

Yu Li: "....."

[laughter emojis] I’m dying of laughter.

[Sister Li emojis] Sister Li’s sarcasm is perfect.

"It’s not that," Yu Li said seriously, "I’m trying to figure out where to start."

He had been practicing with silver needles from birth, nearly mastering the acupuncture points and blood vessels of the human body over twenty years, but when it came to killing a fish... His experience was nearly nonexistent.

The tools and conditions were limited, and with only one set of clothes on his person, he was pondering how to dissect the fish without dirtying his outfit.

However, not only did Jiang Li notice this concern, but even the viewers saw it and began to reproach his finickiness.

[I thought Jiang Li was the one slowing things down, but it turns out this Yu guy is the real deal.]

[Dean Yu, can’t you put up a little fight? Don’t disgrace us medical students!]

[Confirmed that Dean Yu has a cleanliness fetish, no wonder every time I visit him, he’s either cleaning or on his way to clean.]
