Chapter 170 Fishing
After calling Cheng Ning, Lu Ran went out to the supermarket to buy things.
He has many fishing rods at home, and they are all quite expensive. He also has two gold fishing rods for display.
However, he hadn't had time to go fishing in a long time, and Lu Ran didn't have any bait at home, so he came out to buy some.
After buying the fish bait, Lu Ran grabbed two buckets and went to buy other tools he might need before leaving the supermarket and returning to the villa.
When going fishing, a G-Class is definitely the most suitable vehicle; sports cars don't even have room to carry tools.
After loading everything that needed to be prepared onto the car, Lu Ran drove his G-Class to the factory to pick up Cheng Ning.
after a while.
Lu Ran appeared at the factory gate.
Seeing that Cheng Ning hadn't come out yet, he called to urge her, "Why haven't you come out yet?"
"I'm still submitting my leave request. Just a moment, it'll be done soon."
Lu Ran was speechless; he had never seen a chairman need to submit a leave application form to take leave.
"Hurry up, or I'll get impatient and go in to carry you out."
"Really?"
"Um?"
"Oh, no, no, I, I'll be right out."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ran stroked his chin, recalling Cheng Ning's tone just now.
"Why do I get the feeling that she's actually hoping I'll go in and carry her out?"
"I must have misunderstood. Cheng Ning is definitely not that kind of person. She definitely wouldn't like someone who's too assertive and proactive."
Lu Ran muttered to himself for a moment, feeling that his analysis made a lot of sense.
【! ! ! 】
"Great minds think alike, Tongzi, you also think my analysis is correct, right?"
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Lu Ran finally saw Cheng Ning's figure.
Although the weather is gradually getting warmer, you still need to wear thicker clothes when going out.
Today, Cheng Ning was wearing casual pants, a white down jacket, and a red scarf around her neck. Her outfit did not resemble that of a female CEO at all.
Lu Ran was worried that his girlfriend might be bullied by her subordinates, or that the company's management might put pressure on her because of her young age.
"Hmm, no, it seems I need to find time to have a good talk with Qi Ji. I can't let anyone bully my Cheng Ning."
If Qi Ji were here right now, he would definitely be speechless and speechless.
Unfortunately, Qi Ji wasn't there, and he was currently running around sweating profusely to deal with the issues the chairman had pointed out, not daring to delay for even a moment.
"Why are you dressed so scantily?"
Lu Ran got out of the car, intending to tease his girlfriend about how she was dressed like a penguin, but before he could even open his mouth, he was questioned.
"It's already seven or eight degrees Celsius. I'm thick-skinned, so two layers are enough for me."
Cheng Ning pursed her lips: "It's precisely in this kind of weather that it's easiest to catch a cold. Have you forgotten that you were hospitalized with a cold last year?"
Lu Ran blushed upon hearing this.
Last year, he thought he wouldn't catch a cold, so he wasn't afraid at all. As a result, he caught it as soon as he went out. If it weren't for the magic trick, he might have had to stay in the hospital for a week.
Just as Lu Ran was about to offer a defiant explanation, he saw Cheng Ning take off the scarf from her neck, then approach him and, standing on tiptoe, tie the scarf around his neck.
"What would you do with it if I gave it to you?"
"I'm wearing a down jacket, so I'm not cold. You're just wearing a regular coat, so you need it more than I do."
Lu Ran felt a warmth in her heart and looked at Cheng Ning gently, saying, "Thank you."
"Let's go, get in the car."
Cheng Ning sat in the passenger seat, the car started, and instead of returning to the city, it headed towards the suburbs.
Cheng Ning asked curiously, "Aren't we going fishing? Why aren't we heading into the city?"
Lu Ran laughed and said, "Since we're already out of the city, we should naturally find a wild fishpond!"
Cheng Ning tilted her head in confusion: "There are wild fishponds? Are they ditches?"
Lu Ran laughed and said, "You actually believed that? I was just kidding."
"Fishing is not allowed in most places now, so it's safer to go to places that cost money. I just searched on the navigation and there's a fishpond nearby. Let's just go there."
Cheng Ning blushed: "I don't understand these things."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran realized something. It seemed less like a date and more like he was asking Cheng Ning to accompany him: "To be honest, I didn't think it through. I didn't even know if you liked fishing!"
Cheng Ning smiled slightly: "I like it very much!"
Lu Ran was taken aback: "I remember you couldn't see it last time we went fishing together. Could it be that you got hooked after that?"
Cheng Ning shook her head.
"Why do you like it?"
Cheng Ning really wanted to say that she would like to do anything with you, because you like it.
But in the end, Cheng Ning remained silent and did not answer.
Besides being shy, she was also a little annoyed.
Her boyfriend is so dense; she's already made it so obvious, yet he still asks. He's such an idiot.
Seeing that Cheng Ning didn't answer, Lu Ran didn't think much of it and drove along with the navigation, quickly arriving at his destination.
Upon arriving at the fishpond and paying the fee, Lu Ran led Cheng Ning to a less crowded spot.
"Young man, it's hard to catch fish from that spot. I used to sit there all day and not catch much."
One of the older men noticed that Lu Ran had chosen the worst spot and kindly offered a suggestion.
Lu Ran laughed and said, "It's okay. As long as you use enough bait, you can catch a big fish even in the worst spot."
"Dude, you're joking."
Lu Ran didn't answer. Instead, he took out the two bags of feed from the bucket, cut them open with scissors, and then took a ladle and scooped up a large ladleful of feed, sprinkling it into the fishpond.
Then, scoop after scoop, the feed was poured in as if it were free.
The guy next to him was completely dumbfounded.
"Hey bro, are you here to provide disaster relief for the fish? Wait, your bait and feed don't seem cheap, are you here to give the fish royal food? Wow."
Lu Ran clapped his hands: "When fishing, you have to be willing to use bait."
After Lu Ran finished speaking, he took out a fishing rod, baited it, and then handed the rod to Cheng Ning: "This first rod is for you to fish with. You take it first, and I'll continue to bait the area. I guarantee you'll catch a big fish."
"But I can't."
Cheng Ning was very nervous holding the fishing rod. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold onto the fish after it was caught, and she didn't know what kind of grip she should use.
"It's okay, I'll teach you."
Lu Ran pulled Cheng Ning into his arms and taught her how to hold and grip the rod, as well as how to reel in the fish after it was caught.
This move instantly broke the hearts of the single people around.
"Damn, this guy's fishing is just a pretense; his real purpose is to pick up girls."
"I knew it! Why did they put on such a show? They started by using concentrated feed to bait the nest."
"I came out fishing to enjoy my single life, but why do I feel so out of sorts right now!"
"Don't even mention you. I'm married and I'm not happy either. My wife, let alone going fishing with me, always looks at me like I'm a criminal. I finally managed to sneak out today to see other people. Sigh, dating is so much better. I wish I hadn't gotten married."
"Ah, Lu Ran, it moved."
Just as the group was breaking down in their complaints, Lu Ran and Cheng Ning, who had chosen the worst spot and the least likely place to catch fish, made a move not long after casting their lines.
Cheng Ning hurriedly exerted her strength and reeled in the line according to the method Lu Ran had taught her. A short while later, a silver carp that looked to weigh at least ten pounds surfaced.
The anglers were completely taken aback.
