Chapter 62: He Was Raised by Me, of Course I Have to Spoil Him
Ye Tingyun’s expression was somewhat dark.
Is it really that funny?
It was as if Ye Ran’s “funny bone” had been struck by Ye Tingyun. He laughed for a long time and only stopped when he was tired.
He never would have imagined that his highlight of the day would be provided by Ye Tingyun.
“So, you’ve also been fishing for half a day and haven’t caught a single one?” Ye Ran wanted to laugh again. He struggled for a long time before finally suppressing it.
Ye Tingyun’s lips quirked. “I plan to buy this lake and fish slowly.”
In the company, CEO Ye was always good at making strategic deployments. If he couldn’t win a project, he’d buy the land first. Everything he wanted to obtain would eventually be in his pocket.
Right now, the fish weren’t his, but if he had the lake, he would have the fish.
Ye Tingyun’s idea was good, but…
Just as Ye Tingyun finished speaking, Chi Yuheng’s voice drifted over from not far away.
“Not for sale.”
His tone was certain, without the slightest hesitation, representing that there was no room for negotiation.
Ye Tingyun had forgotten that this island belonged to Chi Yuheng, and so did the lake.
The current situation was that Party A refused the transaction.
…It was very awkward.
Ye Tingyun hit a wall twice in one day—once with the fish, and once with Chi Yuheng.
He had no choice but to turn an imploring gaze toward Xu Zhaoli. Xu Zhaoli couldn’t help. “We’re in a partnership; I can’t make decisions for him.”
Ye Tingyun’s plan to acquire the lake to serve as his fishpond fell through.
He had also come to the island this time to see if there was an opportunity to collaborate with Chi Yuheng. Before he could even start, it was strangled in its cradle.
Before Ye Tingyun could even let out a sigh, he saw Ye Ran sit down beside him.
Ye Tingyun: “???”
The person who had always maintained a distance from him since he returned to the country was suddenly willing to be close to him.
Ye Tingyun’s dark expression slowly returned to normal, even showing more joy than before.
At some point, Ye Ran had unwrapped a lollipop and had it in his mouth. He didn’t notice the change in Ye Tingyun’s expression at all.
His eyes scanned the lakeshore, and he still felt that Ye Tingyun’s spot was better, which was why he chose it.
It was just that he had come over on a whim and hadn’t brought any fishing gear.
Although there was no difference between the two men fishing and not fishing, and the fishing rods were just ornaments in their hands, he couldn’t just directly snatch the rods away.
An idea flashed in Ye Ran’s mind. He suddenly thought of a “crooked” method.
Ye Tingyun watched as the person beside him slowly squatted down and then gradually leaned toward the lake’s surface.
Seeing him leaning so close, Ye Tingyun feared he would fall in head-first. He reached out a hand to stop him and warned, “Don’t get so close.”
Ye Ran turned his head in confusion. “Why are you stopping me? I’m going to fish.”
“Fish? You have nothing. You’re going to fish empty-handed? Are you leaning so close to the water because you want to use the method I just used?”
Ye Ran: “…”
Only a moron would use your method of waiting to be slapped twice by a fish before it gets netted.
Ye Ran took the lollipop out of his mouth, placed it on the surface of the lake, and waited quietly for half a minute.
Suddenly, a fish surfaced, opened its mouth, and sucked onto that lollipop.
Ye Tingyun: “!!!”
What kind of demonic cultivation is this!
Using this method, Ye Ran successfully caught two fish.
Ye Tingyun watched, dumbfounded.
Ye Ran’s two minutes were more effective than his entire morning.
Ye Ran called out to Chi Youchu, “Bring that bucket over here.”
Chi Youchu immediately lifted the bucket, filled it with lake water, and placed it in front of Ye Ran, fearing that the fish Ye Ran had lured with the lollipop would escape if he were a step too late.
Ye Tingyun was shocked for a long time and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the principle behind this?”
Ye Ran grabbed a fish that was larger than Ye Tingyun’s head and tossed it into the bucket. “The principle that foodies can’t live without food.”
They were all fish. It just so happened that some fish loved fish bait, while some were greedy and loved snacks.
After catching two fish, Ye Ran stopped using that method and turned to reach out toward Chi Youchu.
Chi Youchu: “What for?”
Ye Ran raised an eyebrow. “Give me some more snacks.”
Chi Youchu clutched his pockets. “What snacks would I have?”
Ye Ran clicked his tongue twice. “Stingy. Who would believe you don’t have snacks? I swiped this lollipop from your pocket.”
Chi Youchu: “…”
No wonder the lollipop Ye Ran was eating looked familiar; the source was him.
Chi Youchu grumbled and pulled a ham sausage from his pocket. “Will this do?”
Ye Ran glanced at it and took it. “It’ll suffice.”
Under Ye Tingyun’s shocked gaze, Ye Ran squatted down once more and placed the opened ham sausage on the water’s surface.
The astonishing scene repeated itself—a greedy fish came up to eat it.
He successfully caught another two fish.
Ye Tingyun, who had practically zero results before except for that fish that threw itself into his net, was tempted. He put down his fishing rod, stood up, and went over to squat beside Ye Ran.
“Can I try?”
Even demonic cultivation had its brilliant points.
Regardless of whether he followed the usual path or not, the result was a happy one.
Ye Ran was busy with his own task. “Sure.”
The corners of Ye Tingyun’s mouth curled up. He stood up and walked toward Chi Youchu. “Can you give me a ham sausage?”
Chi Youchu: “…”
Unbelievable.
Does everyone treat him like a walking convenience store?
Other convenience stores charged money, but here they were just taking for free.
Having no choice, he pulled another ham sausage from his pocket and gave it to Ye Tingyun. “There are no more, okay?”
Ye Tingyun took it and followed Ye Ran’s lead, using the same method. Very soon, he caught a fish.
Ye Tingyun, who was usually solemn and even fought business wars like a righteous martial arts sect leader, had now essentially been besieged and converted by Ye Ran, the cult leader from Bright Peak.
“This really works.”
Ye Ran had caught the fish he wanted and didn’t plan on catching any more. Enough was enough.
He signaled for Chi Youchu to head back and sat in his wheelchair. It was just that if Chi Youchu pushed him back, there would be no way to carry the water bucket.
Ye Ran’s gaze naturally locked onto a certain person, successfully finding himself a laborer.
Chi Yuheng was fishing perfectly fine when a head suddenly popped out by his side. The youth grinned at him. “Chi Yuheng, I just caught six fish.”
Then he stopped talking and just smiled.
Chi Yuheng understood that Ye Ran was definitely waiting for praise.
He spoke very naturally, “Our Yezi is the best.”
Having been praised, Ye Ran’s smile showed two extra teeth.
“It was okay, just average. You’re pretty good too. If I fished properly, I’d definitely surpass you.”
Chi Yuheng curled his lips. “I’m certainly not as good at fishing as little Yezi.”
Ye Ran was coaxed into a good mood and asked Chi Yuheng for a favor. “The fish in that bucket are the ones I caught for Grandfather. Take them for me when you head back.”
Just carrying a bucket was a trivial matter for Chi Yuheng.
He agreed, “Okay.”
Ye Ran: “Don’t swap my fish out. I remember what they look like.”
Ye Ran’s words were like those of a child. Chi Yuheng agreed to all of it.
It wasn’t until Ye Ran left that Xu Zhaoli started chatting with Chi Yuheng. “You really do spoil him.”
Chi Yuheng, who had been fishing with an empty hook while Ye Ran was here, finally put bait on his hook.
“He was raised by me. Of course I have to spoil him.”
