"I also want you to know that no matter what you're doing, I'll always be there to guard you."
Wen Tiantian laughed.
"You're not going to keep staring at me from behind, are you?"
"Nope."
Ji Jingchen embraced Wen Tiantian from behind and continued, "I'm a greedy person. I'm not willing to be behind you. I'll be by your side."
Hearing this, Wen Tiantian's face instantly turned red.
"Let's go fishing first. We'll be able to eat fish porridge later. I'll make it for you."
"Just give me one person." Ji Jingchen added.
Wen Tiantian knew that he was talking about Uncle Hong after hearing his words. She smiled and said, "It's only yours."
In order to avoid his teasing gaze, she quickly turned around and pretended to be seriously fishing.
Ji Jingchen didn't poke her and baited his fishing rod and started fishing as well.
Wen Tiantian originally thought that if she listened to his lecture earnestly, she would definitely win against Ji Jingchen.
Unexpectedly, nothing happened on his side. Ji Jingchen suddenly stood up and raised his fishing rod high up.
A fish that appeared to be three inches long was put into his pocket.
"Wow, you caught it so quickly?"
Wen Tiantian watched helplessly as Ji Jingchen took the fish and threw it into the bucket.
She was suddenly envious.
Ji Jingchen said with a deeper meaning, "Looks like we don't need to sleep on the sofa tonight."
Wen Tiantian's face instantly blushed when she heard that. She quickly looked towards Uncle Hong.
Seeing that the other party was busy, it was likely that he didn't hear his words. Only then did he finally relax.
Ye Zichen looked at Ji Jingchen in annoyance, then tried his best to catch a fish.
Finally, there was some movement from her side as well.
"Ji Jingchen, I'm going to catch a fish too!"
She stood up excitedly, and did as Uncle Hong had taught her before.
But when she pulled it up, there was no trace of fish.
Her bait had already been eaten by the fish.
Wen Tiantian looked at her empty fishing hook and wanted to cry but had no tears.
Ji Jingchen curled his lips and put the fishing rod aside. Then, he stood up and walked to Wen Tiantian's side.
"I'll help you."
As he spoke, he sat down beside Wen Tiantian.
He was close to each other, like an inseparable whole.
This knowledge made her feel a little shy.
Ji Jingchen baited her again, "Give me your hand."
He reached out his hand, gesturing for Wen Tiantian to lead him.
"Ah?" Aren't we going fishing? "
Wen Tiantian said in a low voice, but still gave him her hand.
There was no hesitation, only confusion.
Ji Jingchen looked at Wen Tiantian, who completely trusted him, and smiled.
"I'll show you what it feels like to catch a fish."
He took Wen Tiantian's hand and held her by the middle of the rod.
He wrapped his arms around her and steadied her rod.
Because the two of them were very close to each other, they could even feel each other's breath.
"You're blushing."
Ji Jingchen lowered his head and placed his warm breath on Wen Tiantian's ear.
She subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to touch her face, but Ji Jingchen held her hand tightly and couldn't pull it out.
"Y-you're too close …"
Wen Tiantian didn't dare meet his gaze. She pretended to be looking at the water.
But in fact, she couldn't ignore the look in his eyes.
"You should concentrate a bit, Uncle Hong said …"
"Uncle Hong said that we must work together in order to succeed. Aren't we working together now?" Ji Jingchen's inky black eyes were still staring at Wen Tiantian. He refused to miss a single glance.
"When did Uncle Hong say that?" Wen Tiantian retorted in a low voice.
Ji Jingchen heard her voice and laughed.
"It wasn't Uncle Hong who said it, it was your husband. How about it?"
Wen Tiantian's ears grew hot as she looked towards Uncle Hong, who was standing behind her, only to see that he had disappeared some time ago.
"Where's Uncle Hong?"
Hearing that, Ji Jingchen laughed: "Maybe he doesn't want to stay here and disturb us."
Wen Tiantian was about to say something when Ji Jingchen raised his eyebrows.
Soon after, she also felt the trembling of the fishing rod.
"There's a fish biting the hook!"
Wen Tiantian's eyes flickered with excitement, both surprised and happy.
"Don't worry," Ji Jingchen squeezed Wen Tiantian's hand with a calm look. "Let's wait a little more."
Naturally, Wen Tiantian would not doubt his decision.
In order to hold the fishing rod better, Ji Jingchen had already changed his position.
He opened his arms and took her in his arms.
As a result, the distance between the two became closer and closer.
Since Ji Jingchen said to wait, Wen Tiantian didn't say anything as she was afraid that it would affect his concentration.
But after waiting for a long time, he didn't do anything.
Wen Tiantian almost thought that the reason he said "wait" was to let him maintain his current ambiguous posture.
Suddenly, Ji Jingchen moved.
The speed at which he lifted the pole was so fast that even Wen Tiantian could not react in time.
Then a fish jumped out of the water and was firmly trapped at the end of the line.
She stared at the scene in a daze. "You caught it?"
He actually caught it so quickly?
Moreover, this fish seemed to be bigger than the one Ji Jingchen caught earlier.
"Yeah, this is a fish Tiantian caught."
Ji Jingchen did not take the bait, instead, he helped her remove the fish and threw it into the bucket.
He smiled at her, and Wen Tiantian looked away, embarrassed.
If it wasn't for Ji Jingchen, she wouldn't have succeeded, right?
If she had gone fishing alone, she would have definitely lifted the rod the moment she noticed the fish biting onto the hook.
and then just like the first time, let the fish go...
"I wouldn't have been able to fish without you."
Wen Tiantian said in a slightly discouraged manner.
She had originally thought that she would be able to win against him if she listened attentively. Who would have thought that fishing would be so difficult?
When she saw Uncle Hong and Ji Jingchen fishing, it seemed very simple.
With a lift of his hand, a fish was caught.
"You want to defeat me so much?"
Ji Jingchen wiped the water droplets off Wen Tiantian's face in a funny way. It should have been from the fish splashing on her face just now.
Wen Tiantian closed her eyes, enjoying his touch.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that winning or losing was not important at all.
As long as Ji Jingchen accompanied her, no matter what she did, she would be able to experience the pleasure from it.
Therefore, she shook her head, "Whether it is the fish you catch or the ones I catch, in the eyes of others, it will all be ours, husband and wife, catching them."2
Although her words were a bit awkward, Wen Tiantian didn't feel awkward at all when she said them.
Ji Jingchen's eyes lit up.
He liked to hear Wen Tiantian say such things.
"Yes, we caught it together."
Ji Jingchen nodded solemnly. His emphasis fell on the words "we are husband and wife".
That burning gaze seemed to brand Wen Tiantian into his eyes, imprinting her onto his heart.
"En!" Wen Tiantian nodded and started laughing happily.
What difference did it make who caught it?
They were husband and wife, living together for the rest of their lives, and his was Ji Jingchen's.
