CHAPTER 1905: CHAPTER 900: BET—A TRIUMPHANT START

Nothing serious will happen?

Yan Fei looked at the shimmering sea and the few boats in the distance, indicating that he couldn’t promise anything.

The Fifth Young Master Guo saw Yan Fei bored and came over with a suggestion: "Brother Fei, there are jet skis and surfboards on the boat. Wanna try them?"

Yan Fei waved his hand: "No, I’ll just sunbathe."

For someone who can transform into a sea monster, surfing is really not that interesting. Riding a surfboard or jet ski, is it more thrilling than swimming freely in the ocean?

"Then I’ll just go fishing!" The Fifth Young Master Guo said regretfully.

It was not the right time to play around now; they were on a journey. Besides, he didn’t dare play here. If he encountered a shark, he wasn’t a shark-fighting hero, and there weren’t even professional rescue personnel on the boat; he didn’t dare play.

"Come on, the fishing competition starts now!" He Qingzhi shouted. "Whoever catches a fish, others have to do push-ups! Twenty push-ups for one fish, no matter the size. Xiao Jian, go ask the captain to slow down a bit..."

The young guys shouted like crazy, and The Fifth Young Master Guo chuckled at Wen Le: "What do you think? Boring, right?"

Wen Le nodded: "Let’s just play along! Let’s keep it simple so we don’t lead them astray!"

The Fifth Young Master Guo laughed: "Fishing, fishing, let’s trick them once. Let me tell you..."

He Qingzhi, Zhang Jian, Xiaoning, and Old Cui were all quite young; the oldest, Old Cui, was still younger than Wen Le. Probably owing to their upbringing, they’ve yet to learn the wild mish-mash ways of Hu Tianhai. Speaking of which, who’s yacht has only a few people on board and doesn’t even bring a few girls, right?

These guys are indeed quite innocent, betting push-ups on fishing...

The Fifth Young Master Guo was about to eagerly help Wen Le change hooks, and Wen Le didn’t have the heart to refuse, so he just let him mess around.

In the end, while He Qingzhi and the others were boasting about who would catch a fish first, The Fifth Young Master Guo had already caught one!

A really small one, barely bigger than a palm-sized fish.

With nothing else to do, Yan Fei dug out a bunch of small red flags and began attaching them to the ship’s rails.

This was He Qingzhi and the guys’ idea; the small red flags were made with stars, complete with flag poles and fastening rings, and could be easily attached to the railings.

While looking for things, He Qingzhi and the others muttered that The Fifth Young Master Guo’s fish was small while doing push-ups. Then when they went to hang the items for a while, He Qingzhi started complaining Brother Le’s fish was also small and began push-ups again. While hanging up half the flags, they heard Old Cui grumbling about The Fifth Young Master Guo’s small fish!

Finally, after a few times, when he came back, he finally heard Xiaoning realize and shout: "The two of them are cheating! We’re all using large hooks, and they’re using small hooks and fishing from the back..."

It’s a common rookie mistake: thinking that using large hooks will catch big fish and being certain they can catch big fish.

When Xiaoning shouted, finally Xiaohe and the others reacted and rushed over, pulling up The Fifth Young Master Guo and Wen Le’s hooks.

Indeed, they were using small hooks, and a string of hooks at that. In contrast, Xiaohe and his team were using real big ones, comparing whose was bigger—well, fishing is about luck, not whose hook is bigger, right? Plus, with the hooks and those real hefty baits they were using, small fish couldn’t even bite them!

Wen Le smiled and said, "We said it was about the number of fish, not the size. It was your rule. Can you blame us?"

The Fifth Young Master Guo added: "We’ve already shown you enough respect. If it were up to me, we should have waited until we caught a few more before making you all do them together."

"Old Guo, you’re ruthless!" Xiaohe and the others exchanged glances, even Old Cui, who usually didn’t talk much, couldn’t help but growl fiercely.

A bet’s a bet, gotta accept the loss!

Yan Fei thought to himself, the guys are all decent, but it serves them right for pretending to know what they don’t. How can fishing depend on some hearsay or fishing secret? Is it that simple?

When all the red flags were hung up, the whole ship looked different. A circle of little flags fluttered in the wind, and the white railings made the red flags stand out more vividly.

Yan Fei looked with satisfaction at his handiwork, ignoring their racket, and went back up to bask in the sun again—actually closing his eyes to rest and, by the way, seeing what his wife was up to.

Xu Xiaoyan was really busy. She wasn’t quite used to bossing others around, so she couldn’t help but do everything herself. This was normal, though, as the situation at the ranch base was bizarre, vastly different from what she’s used to in society. It was natural for her to be unaccustomed for a while.

Like someone who travels back in time to a big ancient family as a young master or lady, suddenly having a large household of maids and servants, it’s only natural they’d need some time to adapt to their roles, right?

Before, when Yan Fei was with her, he didn’t notice this issue. At the time, he just wanted her to be familiar with the situation, and he followed her around chirpily; how could he notice any problem?

Now that he’s calmed down and observed for a while, he could see the issues!

After thinking for a bit, he went to the bathroom!

Luckily, everyone else on the boat was busy playing or working, and nobody noticed him; otherwise, they might’ve thought there was something wrong with his kidneys...

"Julia!" Yan Fei entered and found a certain office at the ranch. "Leave your work for later. In the next couple of days, I’ll assign you a task. Follow the boss lady and help her adapt to her identity. Don’t make it obvious; do it in a guiding way so that she gradually acclimates to things here. A step-by-step approach, alright?"
