Chapter 149: Chapter 25 Watching You Fish_1"Guess what this is?" Yan Fei pulled out a silver coin and showed it to Xu Xiaoyan.
"Huh!" Xu Xiaoyan gasped, grabbed the coin and after a quick examination she knew what it was. "Isn’t this a silver coin? Where did you get it?"
"Someone came to buy liquor, but had no money and couldn’t work for it, so he used this to barter." Yan Fei explained.
"Oh, isn’t this made of silver? And there’s a golden one, could it be made of gold?" Xu Xiaoyan picked up one of the golden coins, lightly chewing on it, then said with surprise and a bit of disappointment, "It’s so hard that it didn’t even leave a bite mark on it? Guess it’s not gold after all."
"Duh, could you even bite it with your strength?" Yan Fei retorted disdainfully.
"It looks so beautiful! It’s a pity, otherwise, we could have struck it rich!" The girl held the coin, looking it over and over again, seemingly unable to put it down.
Yan Fei was dumbfounded, was it really that fascinating? But seeing her so amazed, he let her be.
After a while, seeing that she was still playing with it, he simply said, "You can have them all, stop staring, go back and take your time to admire them!"
"Really?" Xu Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up. She was about to say yes, then changed her mind. "Nevermind, they’re useless to me anyway, you keep them. Anyway, I can ask for them when I want to see them."
She changed her mind again after a while, clutching the golden coin in her hand: "I’ll take this golden one, not sure if it’s gold, but it’ll be fun to have."
Yan Fei lounged lazily on a wicker chair, watching her murmur to herself.
After a while, she packed them all up again and handed them back: "Nevermind, you keep them all. I don’t have a place to put them even if I take them."
"Oh!" Yan Fei received them noncommittally, then suddenly had an idea. "How about I punch a hole in it and string it up for you? You can look at it whenever you want, and you won’t lose it!"
Thinking that it was a good idea, he started looking for a hammer and nail to prepare to punch a hole and string it up.
"No, don’t! Won’t it ruin it if you pound on it? I have a solution, watch me. Also, do you have any thread?" Xu Xiaoyan quickly stopped him, especially since he had a menacing-looking mallet in his hand after a long and fruitless
"Get to fishing, I want to see how you do it." The girl boldly hollered from the bank.
"All right!" Yan Fei agreed, then ducked under the water.
Xu Xiaoyan widened her pretty eyes and intently stared at the river, as if she could watch flowers bloom there.
Actually, she didn’t see anything.
At this place where three rivers meet, the blending of the waters muddied the clarity. Plus, Yan Fei had intentionally chosen this deep spot in the river, ensuring that no one could see what he was doing underwater.
Xu Xiaoyan felt gradually anxious as she watched the calm surface of the river.
When Yan Fei said he could stay underwater for a long time, she assumed it was longer than the average person, but the prolonged silence began to worry her.
They had dared to fish here in the first place because this area was deserted. With only her left on the riverbank, the emptiness of the river and lack of people around, apart from the four dogs, made her feel as though time was passing excruciatingly slow.
The girl who had originally been standing in the shade of the trees had gradually grown restless and moved to the riverbank, constantly scanning the river.
In fact, Yan Fei was already familiar with this patch of water. He knew where fish could be found and where there wouldn’t be any. He’d just taken slightly longer this time in order to catch a bigger fish.
When he finally reemerged from the water with the fish, he saw the girl pacing anxiously, softly calling into the river as if Yan Fei could hear her.
Seeing him, she completely ignored the fish in his hand and stared intently at Yan Fei’s upper body emerging from the water. "You’re not hurt, are you? Why were you underwater for so long? I was about to shout for help! You scared me to death, do you know that?"
