They want you to participate in a TV show, and you'll be doing a live stream as a security guar

"Big brother, the fish here are so lucky, they have something to eat every day."

Su Yutong looked around with curiosity, clearly it was her first time in such a place.

"Yes! That's why the fish are all so fat."

Ye Zhou gently rubbed the little girl's soft hair.

Then, he took Su Yutong's small hand, turned around and walked to the back of the BMW XM RV, and gently pressed the key.

"Buzz—"

The power tailgate slowly rose.

The entire set of top-of-the-line fishing gear, worth 500,000 yuan, was neatly arranged. The carbon fiber rod reflected the sunlight, and the fish finder, imported fishing line, and specially made bait were all included.

After Ye Zhou finished organizing the fishing gear, Deng Zhe rushed over.

The group of four searched for a suitable fishing spot along the lake.

"Hey! Old Liu! Old Zhao! Old He's all here!"

Deng Zhe, with his sharp eyes, spotted several familiar figures as soon as he arrived and immediately waved excitedly to greet them.

The three middle-aged men who were smoking and chatting turned around and laughed when they saw Deng Zhe.

"Hey! What brings you here today?"

Old Liu joked, "Didn't you say you were going shopping with your wife today?"

"Hey, this is a limited-time fishing trip. You have to go home before sunset."

Deng Zhe shrugged and gave a wry smile.

"Did you bring friends?"

Old He's gaze swept over Ye Zhou and the little girl, and he said teasingly, "Such a young father and daughter, can't even stay at home anymore?"

"I'm still single," Ye Zhou said, somewhat speechless.

The little girl beside her lowered her head shyly, her little hand gently tugging at Ye Zhou's clothes.

"Looks like I misunderstood," Old He laughed.

"Young man, don't mind us. Most of the people who come here to fish are married men."

Old Zhao chuckled and explained, "I can't stand staying at home. My wife nags, the kids are noisy, so I came out fishing for some peace and quiet!"

"That's right, you can sit and fish all day long. How many young people in this world have that kind of patience?"

Old Liu nodded in agreement.

"You guys are joking. I just came here to fish."

Ye Zhou suddenly realized and smiled.

No wonder most of the people here are middle-aged.

Live Stream Room——

Is fishing the only way to find peace and quiet—is this the tragedy of middle age?

As the old saying goes, being single has its disadvantages, and being married has its advantages!

No wonder the number of anglers has increased dramatically in recent years; this is the reason!

That said, going fishing does seem like a good option.

Every time there's a holiday, my child starts nagging to go out and play. I wish I had taken them fishing instead.

……

"This is Ye Zhou, my neighbor."

Deng Zhe quickly explained, "They came specifically for that king fish!"

"That king fish?"

The expressions of Lao Liu, Lao Zhao, and Lao He changed simultaneously, and their previously casual demeanor instantly became much more serious.

"Young man, are you talking about... that legendary hundred-pound bluefish in this lake?"

Old Zhao lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of disbelief.

"Old Zhao, have you seen it?"

Deng Zhe's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

"Yes, I saw it last year."

Old Zhao nodded: "But only that one time."

"Several professional anglers came here specifically to wait, the longest being half a month, but they didn't even catch a fish."

Old He picked up the conversation, gave a wry smile, and said, "That thing is incredibly cunning. 'You're invited to participate in a TV program, and you're going to be a security guard on a live stream?' It's received rave reviews and praise! It only operates in deep water, and ordinary bait and fishing rods simply can't catch it."

"Even if it does happen, given its strength, it's quite normal for the line to break."

"To catch that king fish, you need equipment, experience, patience, and even luck."

The group chatted back and forth, their conversation becoming increasingly esoteric.

"Big brother will definitely catch the king of fish!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yutong replied earnestly.

Looking at the little girl's innocent yet confident appearance, Lao Liu and the others smiled kindly, but deep in their eyes, there was still a hint of disbelief.

The King Fish isn't something just any young person can catch.

Even with the best equipment, it's the same.

In their view, it was already quite impressive that Ye Zhou could sit for a whole day without missing any missions.

Ye Zhou found a spot, placed two folding stools, and then slowly took out the items from the equipment box and laid them out by the river.

In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"Holy crap!?"

Old He was the first to lose his temper and blurted out a curse.

What they saw on the ground were rows of hard-to-find fishing gear that they had only ever seen in fishing tackle magazines and top-tier exhibitions.

Imported heavy-duty fishing rods, high-strength fishing lines, intelligent fish finders, professional fishing boxes, a complete set of landing nets and stands... every item is dazzlingly bright, exuding an air of burning money.

"How much will this whole set cost?"

"That pole alone must be worth half a year's salary for me, right?"

"Young people really know how to have fun. This isn't fishing, it's burning money."

Old Liu and Old Zhao also moved closer, their eyes wide with astonishment.

"I went to buy this set of equipment with Brother Ye today, and it cost us this much."

Seeing the stunned expressions on the faces of his fellow anglers, Deng Zhe felt a surge of pride.

At this point, he held up five fingers.

"Five...five hundred thousand?!"

Old Liu almost choked, and Old Li and Old Zhao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Old Li muttered to himself, somewhat doubting his own existence.

"I bought this rod after saving up my allowance for almost half a year, taking advantage of a promotion."

Old He sighed inwardly: "My wife still doesn't know."

For a time, Deng Zhe and several others engaged in a heated discussion about the topic of being henpecked.

From being caught hiding money to having to report for half a month before buying a fishing rod, the story becomes more and more heartbreaking, yet also more and more hilarious.

The live stream chat was filled with laughter—

[Hahaha, this is the common reality for middle-aged men: fishing is their only source of happiness!]

Hiding fishing rods, hiding secret stashes of money, lying to your wife about going for a walk—it's all so true!

[What are you afraid of, wife? Just do it!]

I'd love to! But my allowance is still with my wife!

……

"Big brother, why did they secretly buy fishing rods?"

Su Yutong sat down next to Ye Zhou, tilting her head and listening with a confused look on her face, asking in a low voice.

"Because they are henpecked," Ye Zhou said after thinking for a moment.

"Henpecked?" Su Yutong tilted her head cutely, looking puzzled.

"It means he loves his wife very much."

Ye Zhou chuckled and ruffled the little girl's hair.

The group immediately coughed dryly, their faces showing embarrassment.

"Oh." Su Yutong nodded as if she understood, her eyes sparkling with a bright light.

Ye Zhou said no more. After completing all the preparations, he baited the hook and cast the fishing rod far away.

"You're asked to participate in a TV show, and you'll be a security guard on a live stream?" is causing a reading frenzy on Cola Novels. Haven't you read it yet?
