Chapter 78
==================
Lin Xiaoxiao said she needed to find a tool, not exactly a fishing rod, although they had seen the village when they came over.
However, to avoid suspicion, she definitely couldn't go to the village, so Lin Xiaoxiao decided to make a simpler piece of equipment.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you looking for?" Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao looking around by the roadside, Tang Xue immediately followed.
Lin Xiaoxiao had said she wanted to find a tool to catch fish, but Tang Xue really couldn't understand what kind of tool they could find in a place like this to help them catch fish.
"Found it." Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the wooden stick, which was about the thickness of a thumb, and seemed very satisfied.
"A wooden stick?" Tang Xue asked, puzzled.
"Hehe." Lin Xiaoxiao took Tang Xue's hand and returned to the riverbank once again. "These fish scales are really slippery and hard to catch."
As Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, she took a folding knife out of her pocket. "Xiaoxue, I want to make a wooden fork."
Tang Xue's eyes widened when she saw Lin Xiaoxiao pull a knife out of her pocket. She really hadn't expected Lin Xiaoxiao to carry a knife with her.
Not hearing a sound, Lin Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that Tang Xue's gaze was focused on the small knife in her hand.
Lin Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, holding the knife. "I thought we were participating in a rural variety show, so I brought a knife just in case. And here it comes in handy."
Although Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't very strong, the stick she found wasn't particularly thick either, so sharpening it would only take a little time.
"You really are well-equipped." Tang Xue squatted down next to Lin Xiaoxiao, feeling helpless and unsure of what to say.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked away, feeling a little embarrassed. She was probably the first person to bring a knife with her when filming a TV show.
"Let me do it," Tang Xue said, pressing down on Lin Xiaoxiao's wrist. "You should rest for a bit."
"I'm not tired." Lin Xiaoxiao held onto the knife and wooden stick tightly. "I'll be done soon."
Although Lin Xiaoxiao thought it was just sharpening one end of the wood and wouldn't take much effort, it was actually not an easy task.
Therefore, she didn't want Tang Xue to take over, and glanced at the hand resting on her wrist.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want her fair and slender fingers to turn red from whittling the wooden stick.
"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon." Lin Xiaoxiao gestured for Tang Xue to take her hands away, as she couldn't work like this.
Tang Xue looked at the wooden stick in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, and indeed, just as Lin Xiaoxiao had said, she had finished whittling it immediately.
With a sigh, Tang Xue withdrew her hand. In the end, she hadn't been able to help at all.
Lin Xiaoxiao had no idea what Tang Xue was thinking. Seeing Tang Xue pull her hand back, she quickened her pace in whittling the wooden stick.
Is Mr. Lin going to use a wooden stick to stab the fish?
[I'm seriously starting to doubt whether Ms. Lin is really the chairperson of the Lin Group. She doesn't seem like the person at all fits the title of chairperson.]
Looking at President Lin like this, I always feel that he's not the chairman of the Lin Group, but rather a mischievous child running wild in the woods.
[Hahaha, I can picture it now! Seriously, President Lin really knows so much. How does she know all this stuff?]
【curious!】
Curiosity adds one point.
"It's all done." Looking at the tool she had made, Lin Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied. "Xiaoxue, I'm going to catch some fish."
Lin Xiaoxiao put the knife in her pocket, said goodbye to Tang Xue, and prepared to go into the river.
With his feet already in the river, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around, and waved to the staff behind him.
"I don't know if anyone is in our live stream, but I want to tell you that what is about to happen may make some people feel uncomfortable."
If any of you can't accept the image of a fish getting pricked in the belly, please avoid this site beforehand.
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that what she was about to do might make some people uncomfortable, so she wanted to let everyone know in advance.
It wouldn't be good if she actually punctured the fish's belly and left the audience with a traumatic experience.
Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Tang Xue was stunned for a moment, but the next second, the corners of her lips turned up.
Such a gentle and kind person, who always thinks of others, is like a ray of light, constantly attracting her attention.
[Oh my god, is President Lin this gentle to everyone except our Miss Tang Xue? He's so considerate, I love it!]
[Your attention is on President Lin, but my attention has been on Miss Tang Xue. Let me tell you, right after President Lin said that, Miss Tang Xue's eyes were so gentle they could melt your heart.]
Honestly, this is the best couple I've shipped all year. There's fresh sweetness every day. As a fan of the Lin Xue couple, I'm so happy!
"Come on, I'll bet you a bag of spicy strips that Mr. Lin's revenge trip won't go too smoothly."
[I bet two packs of spicy strips that President Lin will definitely succeed this time. Look at his confident and imposing manner; it would be illogical if he didn't catch the fish.]
[Hahaha, you guys are so stingy! I bet ten packs of spicy strips that Boss Lin won't catch any fish.]
[This is outrageous! Why are you betting that CEO Lin won't catch any fish? Our CEO Lin has put in so much effort to catch a fish, and you're still betting that she won't succeed.]
I bet Mr. Lin won't catch any fish because I want to see him instantly turn into a little white rabbit after failing to catch any.
[That's right, that's right! CEO Lin turning into a little white rabbit is absolutely adorable! I just want to see CEO Lin act cute.]
Suddenly, I feel a little sorry for President Lin.
No, no, no, what little white rabbit? Our CEO Lin is a total top!
That's right, that's right, the Lin Yi banner will never fall.
[Hahaha, that's hilarious! Upstairs, please accept reality, our Miss Tang Xue is clearly more assertive!]
Because Lin Xiaoxiao had already given prior notice, this gave some viewers who couldn't accept what was about to happen time to avoid the situation.
However, to Lin Xiaoxiao's surprise, the audience had no expectations for her catching fish; many people hoped she would fail.
If Lin Xiaoxiao knew what the audience was expecting, she would probably be quite speechless.
With the tools at her disposal, Lin Xiaoxiao was quite confident that she would be able to catch any fish this time.
After all, Lin Xiaoxiao had used this method to catch fish before, although she hadn't done it for many years.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that her skills shouldn't have deteriorated to the point where she couldn't even catch a single fish.
He stared intently at the river surface, watching the grass carp slowly swimming towards him.
Lin Xiaoxiao held her breath and gripped the wooden stick tightly in her hands.
The instant the grass carp swam to her feet, the wooden stick in her hand pierced the grass carp's belly like lightning.
Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the grass carp that had been pricked, wanting to show her achievement to Tang Xue on the shore.
But the next second, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately put the grass carp that had been pricked back into the water.
Tang Xue was stunned for a moment, her expression somewhat confused. The words she wanted to say were cut off by Lin Xiaoxiao's actions.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "That was close! Luckily, I was quick enough that Tang Xue didn't see it so clearly."
Lin Xiaoxiao realized that she had really been blinded by happiness. Before she came down to catch fish, she remembered to warn the viewers of the show.
He was worried that his next actions might leave some viewers traumatized.
As a result, when she caught the fish, she didn't think much about it; all she could think about was how to quickly show Tang Xue how capable she was.
As soon as the fish was lifted up, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately realized that her behavior was not good.
Although the scene wasn't bloody after the fish's belly was pierced, some people would still feel uncomfortable seeing it.
Lin Xiaoxiao had thought of this, which is why she quickly put the grass carp back into the water.
"Xiaoxiao?" Tang Xue came to her senses and subconsciously took two steps toward the river.
"Xiaoxue, don't come down." Lin Xiaoxiao noticed Tang Xue's actions out of the corner of her eye and quickly spoke up to stop her.
Shoes are very uncomfortable to wear when they're wet, so Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want Tang Xue to go back with wet shoes like her.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll be right there." Lin Xiaoxiao bent down, glanced at the grass carp that had stopped struggling, and then glanced at Tang Xue, who was looking at her with a worried expression on the shore.
Without much hesitation, he pulled the stick out of the water and then wrapped the grass carp in his clothes.
"Alright, let's go back." Lin Xiaoxiao smiled broadly as she walked to Tang Xue's side.
Tang Xue remained silent. Ever since Lin Xiaoxiao came over, Tang Xue's gaze had been fixed on Lin Xiaoxiao's waist.
Lin Xiaoxiao's skin was very fair. Because she had just come out of the river, there were still water droplets on her waist. The water droplets followed the perfect lines of her waist down and flowed into places that were even more suggestive.
Shaking her head, Tang Xue's face darkened. She gripped Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and led her ashore.
Without thinking, he grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao's other hand that was holding the hem of her dress and pulled it off. Then he reached out and tugged at the hem of her dress to hide her perfect waist.
With a thud, the fish that Lin Xiaoxiao had been hiding in her clothes fell to the ground.
Lin Xiaoxiao's expression was somewhat blank; Tang Xue's sudden action left her a little bewildered.
She looked down at her neatly pulled-up hem, then at the grass carp still hopping on the ground.
The confusion on her face was instantly replaced by tension. Lin Xiaoxiao quickly squatted down, picked up the grass carp, and hugged it to her arms.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be trying to wrap the grass carp with the hem of her clothes again, Tang Xue's hand was a step faster than her mind, and she grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao's wrist tightly.
"Huh?" Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused and said blankly, "I'll wrap the fish up."
The fish had a large hole punched in its belly, which actually looked a little scary, so she didn't want Tang Xue to see it.
"You..." Tang Xue had a headache. "Just hold me like this, don't wrap me in clothes."
So does this person have any self-awareness at all? Doesn't she know they're live-streaming right now?
When she was about to go into the water, she knew it was a live broadcast, but when it came to her own turn, did she completely forget about it?
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the grass carp she was holding in her arms, then at the hand Tang Xue was using to grip her wrist. She still didn't understand what was going on.
The fish was slippery, and it wasn't very comfortable to hold, so she wanted to wrap it up with the hem of her clothes to make it easier to carry.
But Tang Xue didn't seem to want her to do that, and Lin Xiaoxiao really couldn't figure out what Tang Xue cared about for a moment.
But it doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. For Lin Xiaoxiao, when facing Tang Xue, as long as it's something she can do, she will never say no to Tang Xue.
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao tightened her hands and used her arms to plug the grass carp's punctured belly.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's silly appearance, Tang Xue's heart almost melted, and she also noticed Lin Xiaoxiao's actions.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao use her arm to tightly plug the grass carp's punctured belly, and considering her previous behavior...
Tang Xue could easily understand why Lin Xiaoxiao had wrapped the grass carp in her clothes.
