A god-tier fishing spot, anglers lined up to give me money.

"It's 5:30, are you done yet?"

Yang Qi sat in the chair next to Chen Zilu, leaning against his shoulder, watching him tinker with editing videos with a bored expression.

"Almost there, almost there, just need a title. Think of one."

Chen Zilu was very focused, moving the mouse around on the screen, adjusting this and that.

"Title, title..."

Yang Qi looked up and thought for a moment, "How about calling it 'Giant Fish Reservoir, those who fish there will know'?"

"Um……"

Chen Zilu wrinkled her nose and shook her head. "That's not quite right. It's not eye-catching enough, it lacks focus. How about 'A Giant Fish Weighing a Thousand Pounds, Who Dares to Challenge It?'"

"This is good, this is good, as expected of Zilu!"

"loquacious."

Chen Zilu's lips curled up slightly, her voice carrying a hint of barely concealed smugness.

A few minutes later…

"OK, all done. Let's take a look."

"it is good."

Yang Qi leaned closer, and Chen Zilu pressed the play button.

The screen lights up, and the first shot is a distant view of the reservoir. Yang Qi is rowing a boat and floating on the water, accompanied by a melodious prelude. It's quiet yet tense, giving the feeling that a blockbuster is about to begin.

The event reached its climax with Yang Qi's shout of "Fish, come!!"

A slow-motion close-up of a grass carp leaping out of the water, its sickle-like fins spreading out in mid-air, splashing water droplets.

This is followed by a rapid cut, showing several giant fish, including the Ironhead Grass Carp, the Green Venerable Fish, and the Whitebait King, emerging from the water one after another.

The visuals are synchronized with the rhythm of the background music, and when the fish leap up at the same time, the drumbeats are intense, creating a powerful and energetic atmosphere.

The screen fades to black, then the voiceover reads: "Yangjia Village Giant Fishing Ground, 500 for a day, 300 for half a day. All anglers are welcome to come and challenge us in a month."

The ending is a voiceover: "Follow us so you don't get lost, this is the giant fish fishing spot."

After reading it, Yang Qi gave it a heartfelt thumbs up:

"Cool, awesome..."

"Silly, if there are no problems, I'll publish it?" Chen Zilu's finger hovered over the mouse.

"Send it."

Chen Zilu clicked "Publish," selected the high-definition option, added details and location, and casually adjusted a few mobile anti-counterfeiting labels.

After posting, I refreshed the page, glanced at the backend, and clapped my hands: "Alright, now let time do its work."

Yang Qi immediately opened his phone, found the video in his followed list, and liked, saved, and recommended it all in one go.

And in the comments section, he typed: "Giant reservoir, each weighing over a hundred pounds, none of them make a sound."

After sending the message, he looked up and saw Chen Zilu tilting her head to look at the screen, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Idiot, your comment is so fake! It sounds like I hired a paid troll."

"Huh? Should I delete it and rewrite it?"

"What's done is done, so let's leave it at that." Chen Zilu smiled helplessly. "Let's go, it's time to go down the mountain."

"Wait, let me forward this first."

Yang Qi opened the newly created fishing enthusiasts group, which only had eight members: Gu Shang, Gu Cai Pang, Zhang Da Zhuang, Wang Jian, Lin Zai Tian, ​​Chen Ming, Zhang Guo Qiang, and Dai Jiang Yang.

Post the video link in the group chat with the caption: "This is a new account. Please follow and like it when you have time. Thank you!"

The group chat buzzed as soon as the message was sent.

Gu Cai Pang was the first to chime in: "Wow! So many big fish, tsk tsk tsk, Brother Yang, don't worry, I'll give you some extra points after you order."

Yang Qi: "Fat, and shaky, forget about it, no need to spend money."

Gu Cai Pang: "Don't mention it, we're all brothers."

Soon after, Zhang Dazhuang appeared, sending a series of crying emojis:

"Brother Yang, you've really put me through this. I haven't been able to touch a fishing rod for days. Are you trying to kill me by posting this video now?"

Wang Jian: "Hahaha... Dazhuang, you're still not satisfied with your wife serving you every day? I'll give you a proper experience in a month."

Chen Ming: "Exactly, don't pretend to be innocent after getting the benefit."

Zhang Dazhuang: Black face, black face, black face…

Lin Zaitian: "Brother, save me a spot. I'll definitely come back next month."

Gu Shang: "I kicked you when the road was fixed, and now you're here."

Yang Qi: "Thank you everyone for your support, thank you so much!"

"..."

While replying to messages, my phone suddenly vibrated. The caller ID showed Su Guanyin as the caller ID.

Yang Qi glanced at the screen and said, "Zi Lu, urge her."

"Let's go then."

Chen Zilu stood up, closed her laptop, tapped her fingers on the desktop, and hesitated before asking, "Yang Qi... your grandma, will she not like me?"

"Her? I can just picture it, seeing you jump for joy."

Yang Qi put away his phone and stood up, reassuring Chen Zilu, "Don't worry, she keeps nagging me to go on blind dates. You're a grown woman standing right in front of her, she's not going to kick you out, is she?"

"What if...?"

"What if?" Yang Qi said seriously, "There is no 'what if'."

"Then I'd better not go." Chen Zilu made a move to sit back down.

"Okay, if you don't want to go, then you don't have to. I'll bring you food."

Just kidding.

Chen Zilu chuckled, "They're gone, they're gone."

"it is good."

Yang Qi turned and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, he realized that the footsteps behind him were not following, so he turned around and looked back.

Chen Zilu remained seated, her expression serious and somewhat displeased. She held one hand out in mid-air, fingers spread, and pouted at him.

Yang Qi looked at the hand, remained silent for a moment, then walked back and put her hand down. "Aren't you tired of raising your hand? Let's go, let's go."

"You big idiot, I've made it so obvious that I'm reaching out my hand, and you still won't hold mine."

"Oh, I thought you were upset that I didn't wait for you."

"Idiot, idiot, idiot..."

Yang Qi blushed at her words and held her hand tightly with his own.

No one spoke again, but everyone's heart was racing and their faces were flushed.

Yang Qi's palms were a little damp, and he wanted to loosen them.

Chen Zilu refused to give in, tightening her grip with her fingertips.

"Let's go."

The mountain path was bathed in the slanting sunlight of the evening, and the two figures overlapped.

Chen Zilu followed beside him, her pace a beat slower than usual.

Yang Qi would glance at her every few steps to make sure she was keeping up.

When they reached the halfway point up the mountain, Chen Zilu suddenly spoke softly, "Yang Qi, why are your hands shaking so much?"

"...No, where am I shaking?"

"It's clearly shaking."

Chen Zilu looked down at her trembling hands, then looked up, her eyes reflecting the light of the sunset. "You're nervous too, aren't you?"

Yang Qi opened his mouth and denied it, "Impossible."

Chen Zilu chuckled and gave him a kiss. "So, now what?"

"I, I..." After stammering for a while, Yang Qi lowered his head shyly and hummed in agreement.

"Then why are you so nervous?" Chen Zilu pressed.

"I'm afraid my grandma will like you too much and won't love me anymore."

"Pfft, hahaha."

Chen Zilu reached out and pinched his waist: "You're just being stubborn."

……

The two chatted casually, the mountain breeze blowing through the treetops.

The setting sun hung on the distant mountains, bathing the entire village in a warm orange hue, while the rice stalks in the fields rustled in the wind.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Yang Qi released her hand, took out his car keys, and opened the car door.

After Chen Zilu got into the car and settled in, he went around to the driver's side and got in.

Just as the car started moving, the sunset shone obliquely through the car window and landed on Chen Zilu's knees.

She reached up and tucked her hair behind her ear, then glanced out the window.

On the distant ridges of the fields, people are heading back after work, carrying hoes and leading oxen.

Wisps of smoke rose from the village chimneys, eventually dissipating into the darkening sky.

He remarked with a sigh, "Yang Qi, this place seems quite nice..."

"Uh-huh!"

Yang Qi looked at Chen Zilu's profile bathed in the rosy light and sighed inwardly: "Fool, only with money can rural life be the best..."
