"And you don't have any bait tied to your hook, right? I don't think you've got any bait or anything like that either."

"Because I just want to get a feel for fishing. I don't care whether I can actually catch a fish or not." Qingchuan Xiang tried casting the rod again. This time, it landed smoothly a little further away. With the help of the lead weight and the float, it just stayed steady in the water.

"But maybe if you don't bait and can't catch any fish, you can get a better feel for real fishing. After all, I heard that being in the air is the norm."

"So you just don't expect to catch any fish?" Although he was already accustomed to Qingchuan Xiang's unconventional thinking, which was no less than Xiaodeng's, Li Xi still couldn't help but complain. He always felt that if he didn't say it out loud, he would feel suffocated.

Three guys who seemed to have nothing to do just sat by the river, looking at the buoy in the distance that was floating up and down unsteadily but generally stable. Time suddenly seemed to slow down with the calm river water. At this point in late summer, there was not too much unbearable heat, nor did it seem like the official arrival of the bleak atmosphere unique to autumn. Perhaps this is the best time to feel the youthful atmosphere by the river.

Although which teenage girl would fish here?

Li Xi stared at the fishhook under the water for a while, but no fish passed by for a long time. It seemed that even if Qingchuan Xiang brought bait, he still couldn't catch any fish in the river.

After thinking for a while, Li Xi turned his head left and right, intending to look at other scenery, the pebbles piled up on the river bank, the tiny specks of light shining through the leaves, and the breeze that pierced the forest and hit the leaves to form its shape.

Finally, Li Xi looked at the two people beside him.

Xiao Deng was still the same, always focusing on one thing, even if it was simply watching a fishhook with no fish floating in the water, but that clear concentration made Li Xi envious.

The amber eyes always look away when meeting someone's gaze, and their gaze is very erratic, but as long as Deng is doing something he loves, he will be completely focused on it. That is the power that Xiao Deng possesses, and perhaps that is why he is so attractive to me.

What about Qingchuan Xiang?

Qingchuan Xiang also sat there quietly, but unlike Xiaodeng, her eyes were not at peace. It seemed that she was following the waves rather than looking at the fish hook in the water.

Like Xiao Deng, she also has a pure beauty, but the difference is that Qingchuan Xiang is more casual and unrestrained, as if no worries can hold her back.

Although after yesterday's accident, Li Xi learned about Qingchuan Xiang's emotional defects, even this water elf has troubles after all.

But in Li Xi's opinion, would Qingchuan Xiang really be worried about such a thing? She felt that Xiang wanted to understand the relationship, but that was not a necessary thing, but something she was happy to do.

Now it seems that Qingchuan Xiang's extraordinary talent is not what Li Xi envies the most.

If I also want to learn Qingchuan Xiang's casualness, what should I do?

You can't just soak in the water every day like Qingchuan Xiang and appreciate nature, right?

Li Xi seemed to have a particularly low sense of humor today. As he was thinking, he couldn't help but laugh, which attracted the puzzled gazes of the two people next to him.

It seems like I have grasped some feeling, but it is still vague and not clear, but it has a shape and meaning.

Chapter 263 Soft and Wet (Two in One)

I originally thought that since Qingchuan Xiangdu came to fish, he would sit quietly for at least ten minutes. However, not long after, this guy started to stagger from side to side, and the fishing rod in his hand also shook, making the probability of successful fishing, which was already almost zero, even closer to zero.

Even after staggering for a few seconds, he tilted his head and fell on Xiao Deng, rubbing him shamelessly, adjusting his posture to find a comfortable angle, and then lay down to rest.

"You guy, don't make Xiao Deng feel uncomfortable." Li Xi reminded him, but surprisingly, he didn't have the aggressive feeling as before. If it were any other time, he would have been even angrier.

"No, it's okay, Xiaoxiang is very light."

Xiao Deng was suddenly used as a pillow by Qingchuan Xiang. Her hands were a little flustered in the air, not knowing where to put them. Her legs, which were gently pressed down, trembled nervously for a while.

"You can touch me as you like, Xiao Deng. I don't mind."

Although his head was clearly looking towards the river, Qingchuan Xiang seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He knew that Xiaodeng must be a little flustered, so he told Xiaodeng to do whatever he wanted.

After all, I just lay on someone's lap without asking for their consent.

Xiao Deng is really a bit thin. Qingchuan Xiang savored the feeling of resting his head on Xiao Deng.

The thigh part should be fleshy, but when I rest my head on Xiao Deng's legs, I can almost clearly feel the presence of the bones, which feels a bit uncomfortable.

Well... there's not much meat on my belly.

Qingchuan Xiang continued to rub inside, and the bun of her pearly gray hair pressed against Xiaodeng's lower abdomen. The scent of shower gel or laundry detergent lingered at the tip of her nose, and at the same time, there was a unique child's scent of... frankincense?

It was the kind of fragrance that made people want to bury their faces in it, but unfortunately, Qingchuan Xiang was still holding a fishing rod in his hand, and it was not convenient to adjust his posture at will while sitting by the river.

Compared to Qingchuan Xiang, who has many restrictions, Xiaodeng can do a lot.

After getting Qingchuan Xiang's permission, Xiao Deng looked at the little gray head lying on his legs with some hesitation. His hand stretched in the air hovered for a moment, and finally fell on Qingchuan Xiang's face.

He used his fingertips to wander over Qingchuan Xiang's face, including his forehead, the corners of his eyes, and the tip of his nose... As if just looking was not enough and he wanted to record Qingchuan Xiang's appearance more deeply in this way, Xiaodeng's technique was so serious that it was outrageous.

And he used two hands.

One hand used the fingertips to feel carefully, while the other hand used as much area as possible, with the entire palm tightly pressed against Qingchuan Xiang's jaw. It moved at a slower speed than the other hand, and accidentally covered Xiang's mouth.

Qingchuan Xiang's breath full of water vapor was exhaled into Deng's palm. In just a few seconds, drops of water condensed directly in the narrow space under Xiao Deng's palm, even making Xiao Deng have the illusion that he had put his hand into the water.

At this moment, something soft and wet touched Xiao Deng's palm quickly. The strange wet and soft touch made Deng immediately pull his hand away as if he had been electrocuted.

The tip of Qingchuan Xiang's red tongue was revealed, playfully sticking out from her lips.

"What's wrong with Xiao Deng?" Li Xi saw Deng suddenly pull back his hand. From her perspective, she couldn't see what Qingchuan Xiang did at all, so she hurriedly asked with concern.

"fine……"

Xiao Deng put her hand down again with some embarrassment, and then looked at Qingchuan Xiang, who seemed to have forgotten to retract the corner of his tongue after the prank.

Xiaoxiang means... I can touch it casually, right?

An idea popped up in Xiaodeng's mind, which she thought was extremely bold, but it made her very eager to put it into practice.

Deng's feet, which were stepping on the riverbed, unconsciously raised their heads a little, and his legs, which had no flesh to begin with, became tense and a little stiff, which immediately made Qingchuan Xiang realize that Xiao Deng seemed to be nervous about something.

Had she gone too far? Qingchuan Xiang reflected on herself for a moment. Perhaps she should have paid more attention. The humidity in her mouth was significantly higher than that of an average person, making her tongue almost always covered in mucus. It was almost never dry. Even if she didn't drink water for a long time, it would be difficult for her tongue to dry out before she started to feel irritated.

"Well--?"

But just when Qingchuan Xiang was about to apologize to Xiaodeng, Xiaodeng stretched out her little hand again, and then gently pinched the tip of Xiang's tongue with her index finger and thumb.

The first time, because Qingchuan Xiang's tongue was too slippery, Xiao Deng's fingers slipped off without clamping. Xiao Deng, who had been brave enough to do this, immediately shrank back after suffering this little setback.

However, Xiao Deng's fingertips were already covered with a liquid that looked like saliva, but was so juicy that it was almost dripping with water. This proved that Xiao Deng had indeed done something.

Even though Li Xi couldn't see Qingchuan Xiang's tongue from his perspective, Xiao Deng's hand became wet immediately after passing over Xiang's mouth. There was no need for Li Xi to guess what he could do.

Is the lamp really carnivorous?!

If before, when he heard Qingchuan Xiang talk about Xiaodeng's "offense" to her, Lixi could still convince himself that it was just Xiang's one-sided story, that this guy's brain circuits were different from ordinary people, and that maybe what Xiaodeng did was actually normal. But now, it was happening directly under his nose.

Xiang just said that the hand holding the lamp can touch it freely... Now that I think about it, this statement is also totally wrong!

So actually, there is something wrong with Qingchuan Xiang. No, shouldn’t I have known that there is something wrong with Xiang a long time ago?

We are outdoors now. Although there are not many people around the river, the camping site is not far away. Are you planning to do anything in front of me next?

Xiao Deng and Xiang don't do things like this. Don't do that kind of thing——

Just when Li Xi was hesitating whether to stop the next two people's actions, Qingchuan Xiang's reaction was quite subtle.

When Xiao Deng pinched her tongue with his fingers, Qingchuan Xiang didn't feel any pain. Xiao Deng was not very strong and didn't dare to use too much force on his tongue. Not to mention that Deng's two fingers slipped away before he could even exert any force on Qingchuan Xiang's tongue.

But having your tongue grabbed by someone is not a normal thing, especially when looking at the shiny mucus on Deng's fingers, even Qingchuan Xiang felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"sorry…!"

Looking at Qingchuan Xiang lying on his legs, who turned his head with great effort to look at him, Xiao Deng quickly apologized.

But Deng still couldn't bring himself to say things like, "Seeing Xiaoxiang sticking out her tongue, I couldn't help but pinch it." He really didn't want to do anything to Xiaoxiang!

Looking at the apologetic Xiao Deng, Qingchuan Xiang smacked his lips, not knowing what to say. To be honest, it was because he had carelessly licked Xiao Deng's hand with his tongue that triggered the subsequent events.

And among the three people present, Li Xi seemed to have the biggest reaction.

Li Xi couldn't help it after all, and pointed at the two of them with a trembling finger:

"Xiao Deng, does that mean you and Xiang are already in that kind of relationship?"

Looking at Li Xi's wide-open eyes, even Qingchuan Xiang could see how unbelievable Li Xi was at this moment. Even the gods and Buddhas would feel sad for Li Xi at this moment. He could faintly hear a few cow moos coming from nowhere.

Seeing this, Qingchuan Xiang quickly shook his head and broke free from Xiaodeng's arms.

Because he was still holding the fishing rod in his hands and couldn't use it to support his body, Qingchuan Xiang had to rely on the strength of his legs to lift and lower his legs, and rely on inertia to barely shake his body, splashing water all over himself.

"Wait a minute! Lixi, don't think too much! Xiaodeng and I don't have that kind of relationship."

Qingchuan Xiang racked his brains trying to think of how to explain Xiao Deng's behavior just now.

"Look, it's like a cat seeing a cat toy and can't help but want to grab it, right? It was my fault just now. When Xiao Deng accidentally covered his mouth, I licked Xiao Deng's palm as a prank, and then Xiao Deng couldn't help but take revenge on me."

In a hurry, Qingchuan Xiang himself had not yet guessed why Xiaodeng suddenly wanted to pinch his tongue, but he felt that his guess should be one of the reasons.

It can't be that just by sticking out my tongue, people can't control themselves and be charmed by me!

If that were the case, wouldn't I have been grabbed and beaten by someone long ago?

"Is that so?" Li Xi was skeptical. Although the reason given by Qingchuan Xiang sounded a bit ridiculous at first, when Xiang used the cat as an example, Li Xi couldn't help but think of Lenai, the wild cat.

If Lixi were to hold a cup of matcha parfait in front of Lenai, she could completely imagine Lenai rushing over without being able to control herself, and it would definitely work every time. Then, it seemed to explain Xiaodeng's impulsive behavior just this once... ?

Phew... Looks like I succeeded in convincing him.

However, before Qingchuan Xiang could relax, Xiao Deng on the other side lowered his eyebrows again.

"Xiao Xiang doesn't like me...?"

Deng had misunderstood Qingchuan Xiang's words "I don't have that kind of relationship with Xiao Deng" just now. He thought that Qingchuan Xiang wanted to distance herself from him, and he was a little shocked for a moment.

"Wait...that's not what I meant..."

Why does it become more confusing the more I explain?

………………

After a lot of effort, he finally calmed Xiao Deng down and made Li Xi understand that nothing really happened between him and Xiao Deng. Qingchuan Xiang felt his mouth starting to dry up.

On the contrary, I started sweating even though I didn’t do any strenuous exercise. Is it because I’m too nervous?

This is strange, why am I so nervous?

I feel that my dry mouth now is not just because I keep talking, but is also affected by some psychological factors.

Ah, there is a river right in front of me. I really want to try to scoop some water with my hands to experience the feeling of natural water.

Qingchuan Xiang had heard that even tap water had subtle variations in taste depending on the time of day and location. He had also heard online about a pioneering high school student who, with a great spirit of exploration, tasted tap water from every location on campus and compiled a summary.

It was truly fascinating. Unfortunately, Qingchuan Xiang seemed to be watched at school as well, just like she was being watched by Li Xi now. At school, especially by her classmates, whenever they saw her approaching a sink or similar place, they would immediately become wary… As soon as she made the move to drink tap water, they would immediately shove all sorts of drinks into her hands and forbid her from drinking tap water.

Although I am very grateful for everyone's concern, it also indirectly shows that my level of integration with humans is indeed quite good?

"I've been sitting for too long, I'm going to stand up and walk around." Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, or perhaps really tired from sitting for so long that his toes were probably wrinkled, Li Xi patted his knees and prepared to stand up.

"Let's go together. I guess we won't be able to catch any fish."

"There's no way you can catch any fish like this..."

However, as soon as Li Xi finished speaking, Qingchuan Xiang suddenly felt some movement of the fishing rod in his hand, and turned his head to look at the buoy in the water.

Moving.

Huh? Can you really catch fish like this?

Chapter 264 The Wrath of Salted Fish!

Looking at the fish that was pulled up, which was only half the size of Xiaodeng's palm and had no name, even Qingchuan Xiang, who had caught it with his own hands, was a little stunned.

I didn't put any bait on the fish and I was moving the fishing rod around the whole time. How could you expect it to bite?

When they finally caught a fish, Qingchuan Xiang was at a loss as to what to do. The three of them didn't have the tools to process the fish on the spot, so even if they wanted to eat it, it wouldn't be enough to fill their stomachs.

I would be reluctant to just let the fish go.

"Xiao Deng Lixi, can someone take a picture for me?" Qingchuan Xiang thought for a moment and decided to take a picture as a souvenir. It would also be a record of this camping trip. Maybe it could even be included in Xiao Deng's activity report... After all, club reports aren't like professional essays. Besides the theme, they could also include some of the members' activities.

Although Qingchuan Xiang is not a member of the astronomy club.

After Xiao Deng agreed to help take pictures, Qingchuan Xiang thought about it, then stood up and stood in the river, holding the rod with the still struggling fish, and let Deng take pictures.

"Are you ready... three, two..."

Xiao Deng tried hard to hold the phone steady and started counting down. When it was about to reach one, the fish seemed to suddenly realize that its stupid behavior, which was unlikely to be matched by any other fish in its lifetime, was about to be recorded. Sadness and anger rose in its heart.

Salted fish is still a little salty, and it can shake out a few ounces of salt when it turns over. So doesn't it have some power to show these humans?

The wrath of the emperor will result in millions of corpses and thousands of miles of blood. The wrath of a stupid fish can also make you fall into the mud!

"Wow!" The fish suddenly burst forth with unprecedented strength, enduring the pain of the hook piercing its mouth as it swung violently. Qingchuan Xiang was only holding the fishing rod, not holding the line with his hands, which gave the fish an opportunity to swing violently and hit Xiang hard!

Caught off guard, Qingchuan Xiang lost his balance. His feet in the water lost their stability and he fell directly into the river.

Xiao Deng had a mobile phone with a camera turned on in his hand, and he perfectly recorded the beautiful scene of Qingchuan Xiang being beaten by the fish.

"Xiao Xiang, are you okay?"
