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

After dinner, Yang Qi stood up, stretched, and said to the others, "Grandma, Zilu, I'm going to the reservoir."

"Go away, go away, all you do at night is guard that reservoir, I don't even know what's going on there." Su Guanyin said with a hint of disdain, but her concern was unmistakable. "Walk slowly, it's dark on the mountain, don't fall, and I hope nothing bad happens."

Yang Qi shook his head and smiled helplessly. Grandma, you're just stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside...

He raised his arm, flexing his muscles, and laughed, "Don't worry, your grandson is strong, he won't fall."

"puff……"

Chen Zilu almost burst out laughing when she heard this, and shook her head to indicate that she was too embarrassed to look.

He immediately said, "I'll go with you."

"Need not!"

Su Guanyin immediately stopped her, "Zilu, there are a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain, and it's not safe at night. You should sleep at home tonight. I've already prepared your room."

"Grandma, all my things are on the reservoir..."

Yang Qinghui, with her sharp eyes, immediately understood and quickly interjected, "Grandma, why are you making such a fuss about your sister-in-law and the two brothers being together?"

After saying that, she winked at Su Guanyin and gestured towards Yang Qi with her lip, a forced smile on her lips. "Silly grandma, don't do something bad with good intentions and disturb her time alone."

Despite her advanced age, Su Guanyin's mind remained sharp. She quickly realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Oh... I'm getting senile, I really am getting senile..."

Su Guanyin changed her attitude from trying to persuade him to stay, and said, "Alright, this old woman won't interfere in your young people's affairs."

After saying that, he glared at Yang Qi and said, "Slow down, it's dark. If anything happens to you, you'll be in big trouble when you get back! Huizhang, bring those two new flashlights over!"

"Okay, milk!"

Yang Huizhang pulled two brand-new flashlights from the cabinet and handed them to Yang Qi, lowering his voice, "Brother, I'm rooting for you..."

"go."

Yang Qi patted Yang Huizhang on the back of the head.

"Hehe!" Yang Huizhang ran off in a flash.

Watching the two figures disappear, Su Guanyin stood at the door, watching without moving for a long time.

In the dim moonlight, Yang Qi walked on the outside, shielding Chen Zilu from the roadside branches. Every now and then, he would turn his head and say something to her, and Chen Zilu would look up at him and smile…

As the old woman looked at them, her eyes welled up with tears: "The two of them are really a perfect match..."

Yang Qinghui stood next to her, looking down at the message her mother, Lai Lingling, had just sent on her phone screen: "Qinghui, your brother and Zilu are engaged. They're in a new place, so talk to Zilu more and don't make her unhappy."

After reading it, I turned off my phone and decided not to say anything for the time being, wanting Yang Qi and Chen Zilu to speak up themselves. I looked up at Su Guanyin and smiled:

"Grandma, your concern is making you confused. The biggest surprise is yet to come. Let my brother and Sister Zilu cultivate their relationship. Let's not interfere."

"Yes, I'm getting senile."

Su Guanyin sighed, "About your brother... Sigh, I hope I'll live to see that day."

"Definitely."

Yang Qinghui took two steps closer,

"Grandma, haven't you noticed? Your hair has gotten darker these past few days, and the wrinkles on your face have decreased a lot."

Su Guanyin touched her face, then tugged at a strand of hair by her ear, looking at it with a frown and a puzzled expression:

"I noticed it, but I also found it strange. My legs stopped hurting in the last day or two, my chest didn't feel tight anymore, and I felt so comfortable all over, like a completely different person."

"Really?" Yang Qinghui's eyes lit up, but then she became worried again. "Should we go to the hospital for a checkup? What if it's..."

"What's the point of checking? It's a waste of money."

"Milk……"

Yang Qinghui grabbed her arm. "Don't you want to see my brother get married? Don't you want to hold your older cousin's baby? If you want to see him, don't worry about the money. I'll go with you tomorrow for a routine check-up, just to put your mind at ease."

Su Guanyin looked at her granddaughter's earnest face and remained silent for a moment.

She thought about it, how could she not? Her three sons and one daughter had grown up, and now her grandchildren were of marriageable age and had children.

Why wouldn't I want to see them get married in a grand and glorious way...?

Thinking of this, Su Guanyin nodded emphatically: "...Okay, I'll listen to you."

"That's more like it!" Yang Qinghui smiled and took Su Guanyin's arm.

"Come on, let's go upstairs, take a shower, and go to bed."

Reservoir, indoors:

Yang Qi, your grandma is so hospitable! I'm so full after this meal.

"What do you mean 'my grandma'? Soon she'll be your grandma too," Yang Qi corrected.

Chen Zilu crossed her arms, tilted her head back, and pouted, "Oh, I'm not married to you yet. I'm going to take a shower first."

"it is good."

The bathroom door closed, and the sound of running water began.

Yang Qi sat on the edge of the bed and finally had time to turn on his phone.

Upon opening the app, I immediately noticed a red 99+ displayed in the upper right corner.

Yang Qi was stunned. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, and it was still 99+.

I clicked on it suspiciously, scrolled through the message page, and saw that it showed 999+ likes and 999+ comments.

"What's going on?"

Yang Qi sat up straight and quickly clicked on Chen Zilu's account profile picture. The follower count, which used to only show his name, had now jumped to over 10,000.

Click to watch the video.

More than 20 likes and over 40 comments appeared in Yang Qi's eyes.

"It's trending? Could it be...?"

Yang Qi pictured the eight people in the fishing group: a mysterious tycoon, two bosses, a fat guy who looked well-off and was probably a rich kid, and the rest were likely from middle-class families...

"Could it be related to them? It's highly likely, but first, let's thank them."

Without thinking twice, he opened the comments section, and a top comment had been pushed to the very top: "I have a fish that can move mountains and swallow rivers... Fish, come!!!"

This joke actually got more likes than the video itself.

Scrolling down the comments, some people questioned: "Is this fish a special effect? ​​It's obviously photoshopped."

Some are asking for confirmation: "Is it true or not? Has anyone been there? Can you tell me?"

One person praised it: "The shout 'Fish is coming!' sent chills down my spine. I've already inserted my coin!"

"Zilu, your video is viral!"

Yang Qi shouted excitedly towards the bathroom.

"Really?" Chen Zilu's voice came through the sound of water, carrying a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

"Seriously! It's already got over 200,000 likes and it's still going up! There are tens of thousands of comments!"

The sound of water stopped, and the bathroom door clicked open a crack. Chen Zilu poked her half-wet head out, her hair still dripping wet, and water droplets clinging to her face: "How much?"

Seeing this, Yang Qi blushed and stammered, "Two, two hundred thousand! And it's still growing."

"Wait a minute..." Chen Zilu quickly closed the door, and there was a flurry of activity inside as someone hurriedly put on clothes.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, she rushed out in her pajamas, her hair still dripping wet, plopped down on the edge of the bed, picked up her phone and opened it to take a look.

I stared at the screen for a long time, then I leaned back and lay sprawled on the bed, holding the phone in front of my face.

"Millions of views, hahaha... just the monetization from that traffic alone is hundreds or thousands of yuan... my video really went viral..."

Seeing her excited expression, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile. He took a hair dryer from the drawer, plugged it in, and patted her on the shoulder.

"Look how excited you are. Get up and dry your hair first, so you don't catch a cold."

Chen Zilu was still caught up in the excitement and hadn't fully come to her senses when she sat up obediently.

Yang Qi turned on the hairdryer, and the warm air blew on the ends of her wet hair.

Having learned from last night's experience, I was much more careful this time. Although my technique wasn't very skillful, at least I didn't hurt Chen Zilu.

Carefully part the strands of hair that were stuck together by the water with your fingers and let the hot air blow over them.

Neither of them spoke; the only sounds in the quiet room were the hum of the hairdryer and the soft clicking of typing on a phone screen.

"Zilu,"

As Yang Qi boasted, he said, "Being popular is a good thing, but some people will doubt its authenticity and say unpleasant things. You have to be prepared."

"I know."

Chen Zilu was still scrolling through the comments with her head down. "I've seen all the criticisms, saying things like special effects, compositing, and trying to get clicks. There are all sorts of things."

"So what do you think?"

"The more they question it, the more satisfying it will be when anglers who come on the day the reservoir opens take pictures of real fish and prove them wrong."

Yang Qi looked at her confident and smug face, didn't reply, and changed the angle of the hair dryer to continue blowing.

Half an hour later, Chen Zilu put down her phone, turned to look at Yang Qi, and her expression suddenly became serious: "Yang Qi, do you think we can really succeed?"

"able."

But I'm afraid that once I become famous, the trouble will get bigger, and I'm also afraid that once I have money, you will...

"Shh..." Yang Qi interrupted, reaching out to lightly flick her forehead.

"Ouch, you hit me!"

Chen Zilu covered her forehead and glared at him, her expression showing little anger.

"He deserves to be hit."

Yang Qi withdrew his hand, somewhat angrily saying, "What do you take me for? Sometimes I really think you women are crazy, always so suspicious and thinking about things that don't even exist."

"You're finished! I'm going to tell on you and you'll hit me! You even called me crazy!"

Chen Zilu pointed at Yang Qi's nose, glaring at him fiercely, and pretending to be a menacing demon.

But she couldn't hold it in for more than a few seconds, clutching her stomach and collapsing onto the bed laughing.

"Haha, no, when did I become so silly!"

Laughing, Chen Zilu rolled over, suddenly hugged Yang Qi, buried her face in his neck, and said softly:

"Yang Qi, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will believe in me and never abandon me, okay?"

"Okay, I believe you, I won't abandon you," Yang Qi said firmly.

Let's work together and cheer each other on.

"Go take a shower."

Chen Zilu snapped back to normal in a second, released him, and patted his back.

Looking at her ever-changing expression, Yang Qi tentatively asked, "Zilu, are you really alright? If something's on your mind, just say it. I'm not stupid; I can't guess."

"You big idiot, go take a shower, I'm fine!" Chen Zilu kicked him and urged him to take a shower.

"...Alright then."

Yang Qi went into the bathroom and closed the door.

When he came out after taking a shower, Chen Zilu was already lying down, with only half of her face showing, her eyes staring straight at him.

"Zilu, why are you staring at me?"

Yang Qi felt a little uneasy under her gaze. He dried his hair with a towel and said, "It's getting late, I'm turning off the lights."

"Shut it down."

Yang Qi walked to the door and pressed the switch, and the room instantly went dark.

I lay down on the edge of the bed in the dark, and just as I turned over to find a comfortable position, I felt a warm hand reach out to me.

"Zilu... what are you doing?"

Yang Qi froze for a moment, then shrank back, tickled. "It itches."

A low laugh came from the darkness, followed by the soft rustling of fabric.

She leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe, and gently bit her earlobe: "Yang Qi, you..."

"Zilu, calm down!"

Yang Qi's heart pounded wildly as he turned to look at her.

As time seemed to stand still, Chen Zilu could see the embarrassment on his face and burst out laughing:

"So easily amused."

Before Yang Qi could react, she kissed his lips.

It took a long, long time before I could relax.

Chen Zilu stopped there, resting her head on Yang Qi's shoulder and wrapping her arms around his waist. "Yang Qi, goodnight."

Yang Qi lay motionless, the heat in his body soothed by a goodnight.

He glanced at her blurry silhouette in the darkness, his breathing even, a lingering smile on his lips.

After a moment of silence, he closed his eyes and replied:

"Good night……"
