Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

Zhong Bai, carrying his suitcase, walked to Lu Qiaochuan's side. Lu Qiaochuan reached out to help Zhong Bai with his luggage, but Zhong Bai dodged Lu Qiaochuan's outstretched hand and said in a deep voice:

"No need, I can manage on my own!"

After saying that, she picked up her suitcase and stuffed it into the bus's luggage compartment before boarding the bus.

Lu Qiaochuan reached out and stopped her.

Zhong Bai raised an eyebrow: "Something wrong?"

Lu Qiaochuan hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "The bread and water are in the last row, remember to take them."

Zhong Bai nodded and bypassed him to board the bus.

Once in the car, Zhong Bai sat directly next to Li Shuci...

Then, Zhou Shengchen came up carrying a bag of breakfast.

After glancing around, Zhou Shengchen sat down next to Xiao Haiyang, with the aisle to Zhou Shengchen's right.

On the other side of the corridor were Zhong Bai and Li Shuci.

Zhou Shengchen frowned as he glanced at Xiao Haiyang, who was engrossed in reading an English booklet to his left.

Because Xiao Haiyang in the drama isn't actually that studious, and if he remembers correctly, Xiao Haiyang is always pursuing Zhong Bai in the drama.

But these past few days, Zhou Shengchen hasn't seen Xiao Haiyang getting close to Zhong Bai.

"Would you like a couple of steamed buns?" Zhou Shengchen asked, placing the bag in front of Xiao Haiyang.

"I ate two, is the rest enough for you?" Xiao Haiyang knew Zhou Shengchen's appetite and couldn't help but ask with some concern.

“Enough to eat!” Zhou Shengchen said.

Since swallowing that meteorite abroad, Zhou Shengchen has basically stopped feeling hungry.

When he eats, he mainly follows his old habits and enjoys the deliciousness of the food.

"Thank you." Xiao Haiyang said thank you and took out two steamed buns from the bag. He then ate them while looking at his English booklet.

"Are you determined to study hard this year?" Zhou Shengchen asked curiously.

Xiao Haiyang paused in his eating, then slowly said, "I just don't want to repeat a grade again."

Zhou Shengchen said "Oh," and handed the bag of steamed buns to Zhong Bai: "Beautiful Zhong, haven't you had breakfast yet? Would you like some?"

Zhong Bai raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and asked, "Isn't there bread? Why do we need to buy breakfast?"

“Who eats bread if they’re a decent person? Hurry up, do you want some or not? If not, I’ll take it back,” Zhou Shengchen said.

"How about scallion pancakes?" Zhong Bai asked, pointing to the scallion pancakes in the bag.

"can."

As Zhou Shengchen spoke, he handed over two scallion pancakes from the bag, saying, "Shuci probably hasn't eaten either, give her the other one."

Zhong Bai thanked him and accepted the scallion pancake.

"Thank you," Li Shuci said softly to Zhou Shengchen.

"You're welcome."

Zhou Shengchen smiled and went to the back to get a few more bottles of water for everyone.

As for himself, he naturally drank the black rice porridge he bought.

On the way, Lin Luoxue and Lu Qiaochuan sat together and chatted happily.

Zhong Bai looked at the two people in front of him, his head bowed, feeling somewhat sad.

As the only man to have been with Zhong Bai, how could Zhou Shengchen just stand by and watch her be sad? So he kindly handed her the Bluetooth earphones.

Chapter 117: Fishing Makes You Poor for Three Years

Daoshan Leisure Farm.

A farmhouse resort specializing in fishing, dining, and local chicken.

Upon arriving, Lu Qiaochuan organized everyone to collect fishing rods and instructed them, "Everyone, this afternoon we're fishing. If you don't know how, go to the water's edge and find Shisan; he says he knows!"

Just then, Yu Hao ran out and jumped onto Xiao Haiyang, hugging him and crying out, "Aaaaaah, there's a cockroach!!"

"Why are you yelling at me if there's a cockroach?" Xiao Haiyang quickly shook him off and said, speechless.

"Under the covers," Yu Hao said, pointing to the room.

"Even cockroaches need to sleep!" Xiao Haiyang joked.

He had just finished speaking when Zhong Bai walked in without saying a word.

After scanning the area, Zhong Bai spotted a cockroach on the wall. He immediately did a split and slammed his leg against the wall, killing the cockroach with the sole of his shoe before slowly walking out.

Yu Hao suddenly released Zhong Bai, then put his hands on Zhong Bai's shoulders and shook her, saying, "Little sister, how about Brother Hao sleeps with you tonight?"

Zhong Bai: "But..."

“Of course not.” Zhou Shengchen interrupted, then grabbed Yu Hao by the collar and threw him aside. “It’s just a cockroach. A real man shouldn’t be ashamed.”

Yu Hao accidentally fell to the ground, immediately raised his head, and looked at Zhou Shengchen with a resentful expression.

Ignoring Yu Hao's resentment, Zhou Shengchen quietly walked to Zhong Bai's side and lowered his voice: "Your body is mine, and it will always be mine. You can't let other men take advantage of you."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai blushed and glared fiercely at Zhou Shengchen.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Shengchen stood by the fishpond, looking at Professor Zhong Bai and Li Shuci's fishing skills with disbelief.

Zhong Bai swung the rod forcefully, casting the fishing line into the pond. He then said to Li Shuci, "You can only cast the farthest like this. Why don't you try it?"

Then, she gestured for Li Shuci to follow suit.

Li Shuci nodded and, imitating Zhong Bai, flung it out.

Seeing that Li Shuci had completed the action, Zhong Bai praised, "Very good. From now on, as long as you feel a pull on the fishing rod, it means a fish has taken the bait."

"Ms. Zhong, if it's based on the feeling of pulling, then what's the purpose of the fishing float?" Zhou Shengchen kindly reminded her.

"When did you arrive?" Zhong Bai turned around and saw that it was Zhou Shengchen. His expression immediately became unnatural.

"Just arrived," Zhou Shengchen said casually. "You still haven't told me what the fishing float is for!"

Thinking of Shuci and other people nearby, Zhong Bai's expression softened slightly: "The fishing float is just an aid, to let you make an estimate in advance."

Zhou Shengchen suppressed a laugh: "Didn't you two notice that your fishing floats didn't even surface?"

Zhong Bai glanced at the water's surface, looking embarrassed, then moved the fishing rod, letting the float surface.

Seeing Zhong Bai's fishing float moving, Li Shuci excitedly shouted, "Zhong Bai, a fish has taken the bait!"

Zhong Bai was now even more embarrassed.

Zhou Shengchen snatched the fishing rod from Zhong Bai's hand, pulled the fishing line back, tested the water depth nearby, adjusted the float, baited the hook, and then handed it back to her: "Try it out."

As for the fish hooks, Zhou Shengchen figured the fish in the pond were all fish released by the owner and weren't much bigger, so the original hooks would be fine.

Zhong Bai glanced at Zhou Shengchen with a complicated expression, silently took the fishing rod, and then swung it forcefully to cast the fishing line into the pond.

Looking at the fishing float bobbing vertically on the water, Li Shuci asked curiously, "Zhou Shengchen, do you know how to fish?"

“Of course,” Zhou Shengchen said with a smile. “When I was alone before, whenever I was bored or annoyed, I would always find a secluded place to go fishing, so over time, my fishing skills improved quite a bit.”

"Then why didn't you take the lead just now?" Li Shuci asked, puzzled.

Zhou Shengchen explained with a smile, "The fish in this pond were all released by the owner. It's not fun fishing here. I prefer to fish in deserted ponds or remote wild ponds."

"Oh!"

"Shuci, give me the fishing rod, I'll adjust the float for you."

"Give!"

Zhou Shengchen took the fishing rod, adjusted it, and then handed it back to Li Shuci.

Li Shu thanked him and began fishing.

Suddenly remembering something, Zhou Shengchen asked, "Did you two prepare the nest before?"

"Breakgrounding? What do you mean by 'breedingground'?"

Li Shuci and Zhong Bai immediately turned their attention to Zhou Shengchen.

"Food preparation is a term used in the fishing field, mainly to improve fishing efficiency. It refers to throwing bait that has come off the hook at the fishing spot. The purpose of doing this is to create an aggregation of color and scent at the fishing spot, which helps to lure fish into the area," Zhou Shengchen explained as he picked up some bait and scattered it near the floats of the two women.

After casting the bait, Zhou Shengchen said, "You might not be able to catch any fish right now because the bait has just been cast, but it will be fine in a little while."

The two women nodded in understanding.

"Zhou Shengchen, can you tell us about fishing?" Li Shuci asked timidly.

“Sure!” Zhou Shengchen said with a smile, “When it comes to fishing, there’s a saying that goes, ‘Fishing will bankrupt you for three years, but playing with birds will ruin your life.’”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai and Li Shuci exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat bewildered.

How much does it cost to go fishing? Why would anyone say that fishing will make you poor for three years? Also, it's just playing with birds, how could it ruin your life?

Seemingly sensing the two women's questions, Zhou Shengchen explained, "What I mean is that fishing and birdwatching are quite expensive. These hobbies require a relatively high investment of time and resources. I don't do birdwatching, and I don't know much about it, so let's take fishing for example..."

If you're just fishing for casual fun, it's actually quite simple.

In the countryside, you can cut a bamboo pole, buy a ready-made fishing line to match the rod, buy a date-shaped float, dig up some earthworms, and find a wild pond. This basically solves the problems of equipment and fishing spot.

Its overall cost should be less than 20 yuan.

The situation where money is actually spent is when there are no good fishing resources or when using platform fishing methods.

Fishing gear can be mainly divided into four parts: The first part is commonly used equipment, including: tackle box, fishing rod, fishing net, landing net, etc.; the second part is commonly used consumables, including: bait, groundbait, ready-made fishing line, etc.; the third part is the commonly referred to "commercial fishing fee"; and the fourth part is the expenses for each fishing trip, such as: travel expenses, cigarette money, drinks, etc.

After hearing Zhou Shengchen's explanation, Zhong Bai and Li Shuci stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Ignoring the two women's shock, Zhou Shengchen recited the fishing proverbs and rhymes from the "Three Character Classic".

Spring fishing on shallows, summer fishing in deep pools, autumn fishing in shady spots, winter fishing in sunny spots. Spring fishing in sunny spots, winter fishing at midday, autumn fishing along the edges, autumn fishing in muddy waters.

Fish quickly when the water is fast, fish slowly when the water is slow, fish near the edge when the water is slow, fish deep when the water is shallow, and fish shallow when the water is deep. At the water inlet, fish swim upwards, and if the water is too clear, there are no fish.

When Qingming arrives, the angler smiles; after the Spring Equinox, the fish frolic. When the grass turns green, the fish are new; when the grass turns yellow, the fish are busy.

A southwest wind blows, bringing dryness and heat; the water surface is hot, but the bottom is frozen. A west wind brings many crabs; a southwest wind means fishing at both ends.
