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

The wisps of smoke from the fire rose gently, mingling with the evening breeze, and drifted across the tranquil lake.

Shila-

The moment the fish touches the grill, it sizzles and releases an aroma that fills the entire shoreline.

The live stream chat went completely crazy—

[You old scoundrel Ye, you've gone too far! Fishing is one thing, but barbecuing here is another!]

I was watching the live stream late at night, and my mouth was watering!

While others are shivering from the cold while night fishing, he's enjoying a campervan, barbecue, and cola. Is this how a human being lives?

[Suggested name for the show: "The Life We Long For: The Fisherman's Edition"]

……

Ye Zhou picked up a can of iced cola, and the pull tab clicked softly.

He leaned back in the comfortable folding chair, took a bite of the tender and juicy grilled fish, and gazed at the calm lake with a slightly vacant look in his eyes.

Comfortable.

This is life.

........................

As the sun rose, Deng Zhe quietly got up, tidied the house spotlessly, and then went to buy Lin Xiaoxun's favorite breakfast.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxun come out of the bedroom, Deng Zhe immediately went up to her with a fawning smile, pulling out a chair and handing her tissues, as attentive as when they first started dating.

"Those who offer unsolicited favors are either treacherous or thieves."

Lin Xiaoxun saw through his thoughts at a glance. She stirred her soy milk with a straw and said calmly, "So, what do you want to do today?"

"We ran into a master yesterday, didn't we? That kid Ye Zhou is really good at fishing, he even gave us such a big fish."

Deng Zhe rubbed his hands together, chuckled, and said with a fawning expression, "I was just itching to do it, and I also promised Ye Zhou that I would go with him today."

"Going fishing again?"

Lin Xiaoxun frowned slightly: "Wasn't fishing all day yesterday enough? You came back smelling of fish last night, and even after taking a shower, the smell was still there."

"There's no such thing as a day, it's only half a day..."

Deng Zhe was still muttering to himself when he met Lin Xiaoxun's gaze and immediately swallowed the rest of his words.

"You dare talk back to me?"

Lin Xiaoxun put down her soy milk, her tone tinged with helplessness: "The moment fishing is mentioned, my soul is completely captivated, and I don't care about anything at home."

My husband is great in every way; he neither smokes nor drinks, and he just likes to go fishing.

Compared to her girlfriends who are often away from home, having affairs and even having husbands who have mistresses, she is already quite good.

Normally, Lin Xiaoxun would never have given in, but when she remembered her best friend's tearful complaint to her yesterday, her heart softened.

It's just fishing, and they're all grown men. It's better than going out and partying.

Moreover, if I keep him in check like this, he might end up like my best friend.

"Honey, I promise, we won't waste any time today."

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxun's expression had softened a bit, Deng Zhe quickly seized the opportunity and stepped forward with a smile.

"Alright, alright, go if you want to, stop arguing with me so early in the morning."

Lin Xiaoxun sighed softly.

"Honey, you...you agree?"

Deng Zhe was stunned, almost thinking he had misheard.

"Otherwise what?"

Lin Xiaoxun rolled her eyes at him: "Do you think I'd really tie you up at home?"

"Very good!"

Deng Zhe almost jumped up from his chair, unable to hide the joy on his face.

"But let me make this clear first..."

Lin Xiaoxun immediately added, "If I don't see you by dark today, you'll be sleeping on the sofa for the next week."

"Don't worry, welcome to Cola Novels! Tons of novels await your exploration! I promise I'll be home before dark this time."

Deng Zhe patted his chest and gave his assurance, but in reality, he didn't take it seriously at all.

When he got home yesterday, it was already dark, but he still managed to use his masculine charm to "convince" his wife.

He quickly finished his breakfast, grabbed his fishing gear bag that he had already packed, changed his shoes in a flash, and rushed to the door.

"Honey, I'm off!"

"boom--"

The door closed gently.

Lin Xiaoxun looked at the closed door and shook her head helplessly.

Soon, Deng Zhe went down to the underground parking garage, preparing to drive his SUV to the fishing spot and bring Ye Zhou breakfast.

As soon as I walked to the car, I saw a tall, aloof figure walk past.

A crisp white silk shirt and black high-waisted trousers accentuated her tall and slender figure, giving her a cool and capable air.

It was Su Qing.

"Ms. Su, are you going to the company?" Deng Zhe greeted her proactively.

"Yes, I have some things to take care of at the company."

Su Qing nodded, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over his bulging fishing tackle bag: "Are you going fishing again?"

"Yes!" Deng Zhe nodded with a smile.

Where is Ye Zhou?

After hesitating for a moment, Su Qing asked casually, "Isn't he coming with you today?"

"Brother Ye?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Zhe's face revealed a very strange expression: "He didn't come back yesterday?! He didn't even come back yesterday!"

"Hasn't he come back?"

A barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across Su Qing's usually cool and aloof expression.

"yes!"

Deng Zhe said with a hint of envy, "Brother Ye spent the night in his RV by the lake yesterday, saying he was going to fight that king fish to the death!"

"All...all night?!" Su Qing was stunned.

In her memory, Ye Zhou was the kind of guy who was carefree and easygoing.

They can stop updating whenever they want, or give up whenever they want, and they never care about what others think!

Who would have thought that I would spend the whole night by the lake just for a fish?

"Absolutely! That's what true freedom and ease looks like. Just turn on the RV, hang up the lights, and enjoy grilled fish and cola. It's like having a lakeside vacation right there."

Seeing this, Deng Zhe added with a smile, "I reckon they're still lying by the lake enjoying themselves!"

Su Qing was silent for a moment.

A scene involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Wisps of smoke, the aroma of grilled fish, the bubbling of iced cola, and a man leaning back in a folding chair, gazing lazily at the lake.

"He certainly knows how to enjoy himself."

A complex look flashed in Su Qing's beautiful eyes as she murmured softly.

Not for fame, not for profit, just for my own happiness.

This kind of carefree, self-centered way of living is an almost unimaginable luxury for her.

"Right? For married men like us, that's a paradise we can only dream of."

Deng Zhe sighed: "Those of us who do night fishing, the bolder ones either wait until their wives and kids are asleep, sneak out, and sneak back before dawn."

He paused, then sighed again: "As for me, it goes without saying. I'd cry and beg if I tried to go fishing during the day, let alone night fishing."

"People like him are very rare."

Su Qing didn't say anything about this, but she made a pointed remark.

"It may be very little, but who wouldn't envy it!"

Deng Zhe laughed heartily: "Alright, Miss Su, I won't keep you from work any longer. I need to hurry and find Brother Ye!"

"Okay." Su Qing nodded slightly. "Be careful on the road."

Deng Zhe waved his hand, deftly opened the car door, started the car, and sped off towards the lake.
