Chapter 610 Wrong Posture?

Bai Mianmian, Jiang Ci, and Shi Sijin sat side by side by the lake, fishing.

Actually, Shi Sijin originally wanted to put the chair next to Bai Mianmian, since she had just caught a big fish, while Jiang Ci's fishing rod hadn't moved an inch.

So it's reasonable for him to get close to Bai Mianmian and try his luck if he wants to catch a big fish like she does.

But just as his chair touched the ground, Jiang Ci swept a cold glance over him, the warning in his eyes so obvious that he couldn't ignore it.

So, his chair finally landed next to Jiang Ci, and the gaze that had been on him was then withdrawn.

However, Shi Sijin, who was forced to change seats, became angrier and angrier after sitting down. She couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ci, and then felt that this was not enough to express her dissatisfaction, so she pouted at him.

Just then, Jiang Ci seemed to sense something and glanced over, his already cold eyes narrowing slightly.

"!" Shi Sijin, who had never expected to be caught, froze instantly with her funny pout.

However, the next second, he casually turned his head, staring at the lake, looking as if he were intently fishing.

Bai Mianmian, who had been watching the two of them since Shi Sijin moved the chair, took in the whole scene.

At this moment, a silent smile appeared on her lips, and then she quietly turned her gaze back to the calm lake surface.

Seeing that Shi Sijin had finally calmed down, Jiang Ci didn't say anything to him and his gaze returned to the shimmering lake.

Temporarily ignoring the noise of fishing in the distance, he sat quietly here, concentrating on waiting for the fish to bite the hook. This calmness quietly soothed the restlessness in his heart.

The anxiety that had been simmering for days due to Ning Anyu's disappearance seemed to be gently soothed and calmed by the tranquility of the forest and the gentleness of the lake.

Jiang Ci's brows relaxed unconsciously, his lips curved slightly, and his smiling gaze lingered quietly on Bai Mianmian beside him.

The three of them were enjoying a peaceful time here. Let's go back to the group of mercenaries who had been glaring angrily at Shi Sijin earlier.

Shi Sijin completely ignored them, but the members of the inspection team, including Gu Yue, who came with him, could not let them run wild.

So before the mercenaries could make any further moves, Gu Yue and the rest of the inspection team lined up and stared at them with sharp eyes.

Instantly, almost all the mercenaries' eyes became "clear".

The reason is simple: although Gu Yue and his group were not wearing regular military uniforms, they were clearly wearing standard military training and combat uniforms, making their identities self-evident.

Looking further afield at the group of people fishing, they were also wearing similar combat suits.

Not to mention that mercenaries have never dared to confront the military head-on, just looking at the number of people on the other side and the oppressive aura emanating from them, they would have to think twice before even uttering a curse.

So, the mercenaries who had hoped to take advantage of Shi Sijin and his military personnel ended up swallowing their frustration and turning away, cursing under their breath.

Back to the present.

Pretending to be serious about fishing, Shi Sijin waited for a while but didn't see any big fish bite, and her confidence in catching a big fish was immediately shaken.

However, seeing that Jiang Ci and Bai Mianmian beside him weren't getting any big bites, he calmed down and continued to wait.

As time went by and her expectations continued to drop, Shi Sijin couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

When people are unhappy, everything seems annoying.

Therefore, when Shi Sijin saw Gu Yue and the others standing behind him like a wall, his face darkened, and he said irritably, "What are you all doing standing behind me? Can't you see they're catching fish over there? Hurry up and catch some, don't you want to eat dinner tonight?"

Gu Yue and the others, who had been watching the three fish with great interest, immediately stood up straight upon hearing this and said, "Let's go now, Captain." Before they finished speaking, Gu Yue and the others had already flown far away.

After everyone flew far away, Shi Sijin kept a straight face and continued to look at the lake. However, after waiting for a while, no big fish bit his bait.

Just as he was wondering if he was fishing incorrectly, he suddenly heard a splashing sound, as another big fish had bitten the bait that Bai Mianmian had put out.

"?!" Shi Sijin's eyes widened, then she looked back at her bait, which was still floating in the water and had not been favored by any fish even when a big fish passed by.

Shi Sijin: "???"

Why aren't any big fish biting his bait, even though it's the same bait?!

Shi Sijin, who was secretly fuming, glanced at Jiang Ci's fishing rod and noticed that the bait had been in the water since he arrived, and there was still no sign of it.

In an instant, the pent-up energy he had been holding in burst out, and the small cloud in his heart was swept away without a trace by this discovery. He couldn't help but smile.

Shi Sijin's inner thoughts: Hahahaha...

He's not the worst one; Jiang Ci is right behind him at the bottom!

Perhaps his gloating gaze was too intense, for it immediately drew Jiang Ci's gaze back.

However, this time Shi Sijin was not afraid of him at all, and even showed him a bright smile that revealed eight teeth.

Jiang Ci, completely unaware of what Shi Sijin was grinning about, was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he got up and deftly helped Bai Mianmian unload the large fish she had caught into a bucket next to her.

Not seeing Jiang Ci's dark face, Shi Sijin didn't care. At this moment, he was in a very good mood and went to see the big fish that Bai Mianmian had caught.

"The fish here are so silly, I've already caught two in such a short time," Bai Mianmian said to Jiang Ci in a cheerful tone, shaking her fishing rod.

Jiang Ci looked at her with a smile in his eyes, noticing her slight pride.

Shi Sijin's smile froze instantly, and her eyes couldn't help but dart towards Bai Mianmian's face.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these words were directed at him. Was it Bai Mianmian retaliating against him for laughing at Jiang Ci earlier?
Bai Mianmian seemed to notice Shi Sijin's gaze and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Sister-in-law, you're really amazing." Without any real evidence, Shi Sijin could only respond to her questioning gaze with words of praise.

Bai Mianmian smiled at him and said, "You can do it too."

Encouraged, Shi Sijin paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I will try my best."

Bai Mianmian had just finished encouraging Shi Sijin when she turned around and saw Jiang Ci glaring at her. She immediately put her hand on Jiang Ci's arm and encouraged him, "You have to try your best too. Let's see who catches the biggest fish in the end, and we'll eat the biggest fish tonight."

"Okay." Jiang Ci smiled as he looked at Bai Mianmian.

Shi Sijin's eyes lit up; she could eat the freshest and biggest fish that night!
With Bai Mianmian's promise, Shi Sijin immediately calmed down and started fishing.

His calming down paid off; after Bai Mianmian caught her fifth fish, a fish finally took the bait.

The fish-catching team over there may have intentionally let the fish drift towards this side, resulting in a significant increase in the number of large fish swimming towards this side compared to before.

The fish, which had just darted out in fright, happened to encounter food so close to its mouth, and greedily took the bait from Shi Sijin.

"Hahaha... I caught one!" Shi Sijin's joyful laughter echoed across the lake.
