Chapter 725: Ming Ye, You’re Amazing!
As Planet Lanhe was a newly-developed immigrant planet, the mining industry was not developed enough, and the ecological protection was relatively good.
The place where Su Wan and Ming Ye were now was even less populated, and even the river water was much clearer.
Su Wan waited at the same spot for a long time, but Ming Ye did not come back. After all, it was not early anymore, and she was a little afraid that the people who were looking for them would catch up, so she simply walked to find Ming Ye.
Su Wan found Ming Ye beside a shallow part of the river. The man was catching fish.
Because their situation was very sudden, there were no suitable fishing tools here. Su Wan did not expect Ming Ye to casually grab a branch and fork the fish!
It was obvious that the branch had been sharpened by Ming Ye with something. The head of the branch was very sharp.
But what Su Wan did not expect was that Ming Ye’s fork was accurate!
The river fish inside were obviously very crafty, but Ming Ye seemed to casually strike at the fish, and then the branch caught a lively fish!
Then Ming Ye borrowed the force and quickly threw the fish onto the shore, and in an instant, water splashed everywhere.
The fish seemed to be very dissatisfied with Ming Ye’s actions, and kept flailing randomly, which made people want to laugh.
However, Ming Ye had just thrown it with great force. The fish had lost most of its strength. After jumping for a few seconds, it instantly stopped and pretended to be dead!
Su Wan was dumbfounded. It was hard not to be impressed!
At this moment, Su Wan finally understood that not only the martial arts heroes in the dramas were good at catching fish, even aliens like Ming Ye could do it!
However…
Looking at Ming Ye’s calm and practiced manner, Su Wan wondered if Ming Ye had often done this kind of thing in the past, so much so that he had developed some insights?
This kind of survival skills in the wild was really difficult for Su Wan to learn.
“Ming Ye, you’re so amazing!”
Su Wan stared at the fish in a daze for a long time. Then, she nodded at Ming Ye forcefully. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with heartfelt admiration.
Ming Ye nodded his head slightly at Su Wan with an extremely calm expression.
“This is nothing.”
Ming Ye turned his head to look at Su Wan before lowering his head to continue searching for his next target. He muttered with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
“The fish in this river have probably been fished out some time ago. The rest are all too small.”
The sunset glow was hazy and suffused with a warm orange color. Ming Ye’s figure was faintly discernible in the setting sun. His voice was low and cold, like a distant singing voice coming from a tall building.
Su Wan could hear Ming Ye’s complaints clearly and could not help but chuckle.
She had been with Ming Ye for a short period of time in the past. She always felt that Ming Ye looked more isolated than Jiang Xuecheng. He was a cold and gloomy person.
She did not expect to see Ming Ye fishing with her own eyes today. Su Wan felt that Ming Ye had some vitality that belonged to a human.
Su Wan saw Ming Ye leisurely searching for a target to hunt. She could not help but follow suit and find a thicker branch.
However, Su Wan had no tools in her hands, so she did not sharpen the tip of the branch. She immediately began to move!
Su Wan took a deep breath and stepped into the water stall. Her clothes, which were half-dry, were splashed with water again. However, she was already in a sorry state now, so she was no longer in a more sorry state.
Ming Ye heard the sound of Su Wan wading into the water and suddenly turned his head.
He furrowed his heroic brows and looked at Su Wan as if he was lecturing a child. There was a parental dissatisfaction in his eyes.
“What are you doing down here?”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. She thought that she had made it clear enough. Su Wan waved the branch in her hand and spoke to Ming Ye as if it was a matter of course.
“I’m here to help. I’m going to catch fish with you! Otherwise, I’ll be embarrassed if I have to rely on you alone for dinner.”
Su Wan’s voice brushed past Ming Ye’s ears, causing him to furrow his brows even deeper.
Ming Ye simply put down the work in his hands and said to Su Wan very seriously.
“There’s no need. A rich young lady like you would only be a hindrance.”
Just like how Ming Ye said that Su Wan was good-looking earlier, Ming Ye said that Su Wan was delicate and easy-going. She was not afraid of offending people at all.
No matter what Ming Ye said, it always gave people a calm and confident feeling.
When Su Wan heard this, she was stunned. Although she did come from a good family, she thought that she was the type who was willing to endure hardships since she was young. She did not expect that Ming Ye would despise her even if she came to help out of kindness.
Su Wan was a little unwilling to admit defeat. She ignored Ming Ye’s words and wanted to prove herself.
Su Wan raised the harpoon in her hand and soon took a fancy to a small silver fish swimming around her.
Su Wan held her breath and concentrated. She thought she was carefully going to strike, but she did not hit the fish. In the end, it hit the aquatic grass instead!
Ming Ye saw that Su Wan was acting tough, so he simply stopped catching his own fish. He crossed his arms and looked at Su Wan calmly.
Although the corners of his mouth did not curve, Su Wan still felt that Ming Ye’s face clearly had the word “mischievous” written on it.
Did this guy want to see her make a fool of herself?!
Su Wan gritted her teeth. She did not believe that Ming Ye could catch a fish so easily, and nothing could happen for her.
Su Wan took the opportunity and stably nailed the branch down. However, this time it was even more tragic than the previous time. Not only did she not spear the fish, but she was also splashed by the previous fish!
This fish was too cunning!
It was slippery all over. Just now, it swam past Su Wan’s legs in a mocking manner!
Su Wan’s eyes narrowed and a crease appeared between her brows. She was also a stubborn person, but she did not believe in this evil.
Just when Su Wan wanted to continue learning her spear technique, Ming Ye walked to her side without her knowing.
Without saying a word, Ming Ye took away the “harpoon” in Su Wan’s hand!
Ming Ye’s strength was extremely great, and Su Wan did not put up much of a defense. The tree branch with uneven thickness was directly flung onto the shore by Ming Ye.
With a snap, it broke into pieces.
She did not know why Ming Ye was so skillful.
“You –”
Su Wan raised her eyes in shock. She could not even say a word.
Ming Ye pointed at the remains of the tree branch on the shore. The gentle sunset reflected on Ming Ye’s face, making him look even more handsome and charming.
“If you don’t sharpen that tree branch, even if you hit the fish with your fork, I’m afraid it will go free. Also, I’ve already said that you’re not good at this kind of thing. You’re just adding trouble here. Su Wan, you can go up.”
Su Wan knew that Ming Ye was telling the truth, but she felt a little embarrassed for not doing anything.
Su Wan lowered her head in embarrassment. Her voice was a little weak.
“I can learn.”
“No need. You should go and pick up some firewood first. We can directly grill the fish later.”
It seemed that she really could only pick up some firewood. Su Wan blushed and nodded slightly. Then, she turned around.
The wind was quiet. Occasionally, there would be branches rustling.
When everything was quiet, Su Wan heard Ming Ye’s voice in the breeze.
“The water is wet and cold. Don’t come down again later.”
