Chapter 1550 - 1550: 1550
Zuo Xintong smiled, nodding, "Mm, it was already midnight when I got back. You should get to bed early too."
Liu Zhizhong nodded, looking seriously resigned, "I wanted to wait up for you, but I just couldn't, so I went to sleep first."
Zuo Xintong's face suddenly turned red, shyly saying, "You rascal, what are you talking about?"
"I'm just being honest! Last night when I got back..."
Meanwhile, Liu Zhizhong was helping Zuo Xintong with breakfast, like serving plates, while telling her about his fishing plans.
Zuo Xintong was astonished, and then got really excited.
A Giant Green Fish bigger than the one in the yard, she was indeed a bit expectant.
After Liu Zhizhong finished talking, they both sat down at the breakfast table, and while eating, Zuo Xintong said:
"Your brain works well enough, you're an up-to-standard Fishing Man. Looks like we're going to reel in something big this time. The world record Giant Green Fish is going to be born! Trust me, my custom-grade giant fish rod won't have any problem. But..."
As she spoke, she had a mischievous smile on her face, "What if the one you catch is bigger than the two in your pool?"
Liu Zhizhong thought of their agreement: he must catch a pair weighing seventy to eighty catties, which Zuo Xintong would then take back to Huitian City for feng shui.
But now, there was an even bigger giant fish in Shuangxin Valley; Liu Zhizhong was really reluctant, so he said, "There's nothing to do about it, is there? The two of us, let's leave it to fate. Whoever catches it keeps it! Anyway, the materials you're taking back to Huitian City for feng shui are more than enough."
Zuo Xintong nodded slightly, "Alright, whoever catches it keeps it! Anyway, the two biggest ones will still be left for you here, and I'll just take a secondary pair."
"Oh wow, thank you, Mayor Zuo, for your kindness! I really have nothing to repay you with, makes me want to offer myself..."
"You rascal, shut up!"
Zuo Xintong interrupted Liu Zhizhong, blushing, then said, "I'm warning you, after breakfast today, we're heading up to Tianping Peak. With my cousin around, you better talk carefully around me, don't let anything slip."
Liu Zhizhong understood her intention, she still didn't want to ruin his potential good thing with Zhang Minmin, right? You must know, Zuo Xintong was trying to be the matchmaker here; no way would a matchmaker get together with the groom, would they? Haha...
Right then, Liu Zhizhong smiled, trying to hold back, and nodded, "Alright, alright, don't worry, I won't let anything slip. When the time comes, the two of us will go fishing together, and those fish..."
Talking about this, they had a lot to say.
But in his heart, Liu Zhizhong was utterly delighted.
Once up on Tianping Peak, it won't be up to you. If I want to mess with you, can you really shout and scream and let your cousin know? Just endure it, haha...
Talking about fishing, they both got quite excited, and finally, Zuo Xintong said, "In a few days, after the Start of Winter, let's start preparing to catch those giant fish here, alright?"
Liu Zhizhong frowned slightly, "Wait that long? I was just saying that this week I'd accompany you and Mr. Zhang to Tianping Peak for some camping, and then after we come back, the next weekend, we could spend two days here getting those giant fish onto the shore! But now you're scheduling it for after the Start of Winter, and I'm really a bit eager and impatient."
Zuo Xintong rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you get it? Why, are you still a fishing newbie?"
"Mayor Zuo, could you explain, is there any reasoning behind this timing arrangement?"
