Villainous Sick Beauty Chapter 31

TL: Hua

---

Ye Rongxu was somewhat tempted when Qin Chaoyan said that he would give him all the fish and tell his family that he had caught them.

But once he glanced to the side, he happened to see the look of the old man next door. He felt as if he had been caught cheating, and his little vanity was suppressed again.

No, cheating is fine, but what’s not fine is being caught. Besides, he’s not the worst. The old man next door didn’t catch a single fish, and he didn’t cheat.

Patience—you need patience when fishing.

“No, I must catch the fish myself.” Ye Rongxu held the fishing rod stubbornly.

Mr. Lu, who was eavesdropping next door, was moved. In this case, could he sell the fish to him?

He continued to eavesdrop.

Qin Chaoyan listened to Ye Rongxu’s words with a somewhat helpless look on his face. He stood up, and just as he looked up, he saw Chen Jiang hurriedly bow to him and look at him with a pleading look.

He retracted his gaze, looked at Ye Rongxu for a while, and then leaned down to persuade: “Stand up for a while, and then I will teach you how to fish.”

Ye Rongxu “hmmmm” perfunctorily answered, “Wait, wait until I catch one before moving. If I move now, the fishing rod will move, and the fishing line and hook will also move. The fish that is biting the hook will run away. Do you know that one move will affect the whole body? And don’t talk for now, or you will scare the fish away.”

Qin Chaoyan’s black pupils swept across the lake. After a while, he quickly saw the problem and thought, If you set up the bait here, god knows how long until you manage to catch one.

He didn’t say a word and took a step forward with his long legs.

Ye Rongxu was anxiously waiting for the fish to bite the hook when suddenly a shadow loomed above. Before he had time to raise his head, he noticed that person leaning down close to him, bringing along his cool breath.

Then his waist was pinched by a pair of strong hands, and before he could react, he was picked up.

Ye Rongxu was caught off guard and opened his eyes wide: “Hey, my fishing rod fell off.”

In the next moment, Qin Chaoyan held his fishing rod with one hand and handed it over to Chen Jiang, while the other hand pressed down on his thin and slender back, pressing his entire body into his arms.

Ye Rongxu wanted to struggle immediately.

“Be good; don’t move.” He said in a low voice, holding down the restless Young Master Ye, “There is a slope on the shore; if you move again, we will all fall down.”

Ye Rongxu immediately stopped, not daring to move, and had to hold his neck tightly, looking flustered.

Qin Chaoyan breathed a slight sigh of relief and hugged his soft body tightly in his arms. His slightly diverted gaze fell on Young Master Ye’s fair and beautiful face with a hint of panic, but he was soon noticed by the other party and was glared at.

The boy’s eyes were clear and beautiful, like the lake with fine sunlight next to them. The gentle breeze brushed by, and the light and shadow danced, reflecting his clear figure.

Qin Chaoyan took a deep breath and looked away, but the faint smell of medicine lingered in his nose.

He closed his eyes and was speechless for a moment, falling into silence with Ye Rongxu.

The sun shone on them through the shadows of the trees and on the shimmering lake in a rare moment of silence and harmony.

Not far away, Mr. Lu, who was also caught off guard and saw this scene, silently retracted his gaze.

After a while, he couldn’t help it, turned around, and said to the assistant in a low voice: “Aren’t we a bit of a nuisance here?”

The fish was not caught, and he himself became an “extra.”

The assistant coughed lightly and also lowered his voice: “Mr. Lu, I think… they are not coming for you.”

Mr. Lu said faintly, “I can see that.”

Assistant: “Cough.” He felt embarrassed for the old man.

Mr. Lu: “But I don’t think they are here to fish either.”

Assistant: “?”

Mr. Lu: “They are here to fall in love.”

When Ye Rongxu was put back in the wheelchair, his cheeks were puffed with anger.

He took the fishing rod back from Chen Jiang, lifted it up, and saw that the bait was gone again, and the fish was not caught.

Damn it, his fishing hook wasn’t straight. Why couldn’t he catch the fish even when the bait was eaten?

It’s all Qin Chaoyan’s fault. He must have scared the fish away. He just said he would move later, but the other party didn’t listen.

Ye Rongxu looked depressed and asked Chen Jiang to help him put the bait in again.

Qin Chaoyan coughed lightly and was about to say something, but he heard an excited voice from next door.

“It’s bitten, it’s bitten, oh, it’s up, the size… is not bad.” Mr. Lu said in a proud tone.

His assistant quickly put a finger-long fish into the bucket and praised him: “Your fishing skills are getting better and better.”

Mr. Lu waved his hands and said modestly: “It’s just so-so.”

Not as good as the kid next door.

Ye Rongxu and Qin Chaoyan looked at the two of them. After a moment, Ye Rongxu looked away blankly.

He’s not afraid of the top students getting first place in the exam, but he’s afraid that the poor students will also work hard. The old man next door, who couldn’t catch any fish, also caught one.

This is not the lake’s problem, but his problem.

Ye Rongxu had a sullen face, suddenly put away the fishing rod, and without saying a word, controlled the wheelchair to the side.

Qin Chaoyan was about to follow him, but Ye Rongxu suddenly turned around and said in a muffled voice, “You’re not allowed to follow me; I’ll fish somewhere else.”

 

Qin Chaoyan paused slightly. He wanted to remind him that there were small fish messing up the place where he was baiting, that’s why he couldn’t catch any fish. Seeing him change the place, he thought it was also a solution, so he didn’t follow.

After all, he had just “forced a hug” against Young Master Ye, and the other party might be sulking at him now.

Chen Jiang, who also figured things out, patted his shoulder apologetically, and lowered his voice, saying, “Young Master is like this; his temper comes and goes quickly, but he’ll be fine in a while; don’t worry, I’ll go over and take a look.”

He followed with big strides, and the other bodyguards followed one after another.

Ye Rongxu didn’t leave too far, and the position he found was just separated from the previous position by a clump of cattails.

The cattails were not dense; after all, it was autumn.

Qin Chaoyan, who was still sitting in the previous position, turned his head to look over. Through the withered yellow grass leaves, he could clearly see the figure of the young master, but he couldn’t see the position under his feet.

Ye Rongxu turned his head to say something to the bodyguards, and one of them quickly left.

Chen Jiang stood aside, looking helpless.

Ye Rongxu quickly instructed him to help him make a bait, and this time the baiting area was closer to the shore.

Qin Chaoyan frowned slightly and was about to give instructions.

But Ye Rongxu suddenly turned his head to look at him, his eyes alert: “Don’t peek.”

Qin Chaoyan: “…”

He silently retracted his gaze.

Next door, Mr. Lu was also puzzled. Weren’t the young couple still intimate just now? How come in the blink of an eye… Did they have a quarrel?

Ye Rongxu waited for the bait to be set and then cast the rod in a beautiful arc.

Then he drove the bodyguards to the cattail, saying, “Don’t disturb me fishing,”  but in fact it was to block Qin Chaoyan and Mr. Lu’s probing gaze.

Not long after, the bodyguard, who had previously left, came back and seemed to be carrying something.

Qin Chaoyan and Mr. Lu were staring at the float and didn’t pay attention.

It wasn’t until a “splashing” sound was heard that Qin Chaoyan subconsciously turned his head and looked at the cattail again.

“Why is it so…”

“Forget it, forget it; let’s just leave it at that.”

The young master frowned and muttered, and the next moment he looked up, his eyes met Qin Chaoyan’s, and he immediately became alert.

Qin Chaoyan: “…”

He silently retracted his gaze and became more and more curious about what the young master Ye was doing. Could it be…

Seeing that he was no longer looking at this side, Ye Rongxu retracted his gaze, feeling a little guilty.

However, in order to catch fish, all of this is worth it.

He held the fishing rod tightly, waiting anxiously and excitedly.

After a while, the float suddenly moved, and then it moved violently. Even the fishing rod could feel the pulling force.

Ye Rongxu’s eyes lit up slightly, and his thin white hands tightly held the fishing rod.

The bodyguard next to him also hurriedly shouted, “Caught, caught!”

“Hey, this time it’s a big fish; even the fishing rod is bent.”

“Young master is awesome!”

Ye Rongxu was pulling the rod hard, and upon hearing this, his cheeks turned slightly red. It’s unknown whether it was excitement or shyness.

Qin Chaoyan and Mr. Lu were attracted by the movement over there.

Qin Chaoyan took a look at how much the fishing rod was bent and hurried over.

The bodyguards were still cheering for Ye Rongxu.

“Young Master, try harder; you must have caught a big fish this time.”

“Look at how much it’s bent. It’s probably bigger than the one Mr. Qin caught.”

Ye Rongxu grabbed the fishing rod with both hands and felt that he was almost using all his strength, but he couldn’t pull up the fish.

The problem is that the fish was still very “lively.” After biting the hook, it desperately scurried around in the water, pulling the fishing rod to sway east and west, and Ye Rongxu’s arm also swayed along.

Ye Rongxu: “…” Something is wrong; it seems that I can’t pull this fish up.

He quickly turned his head and wanted to give the fishing rod to Chen Jiang, but the next second, he felt something amiss.

Why does he seem to be… heading to the lake?

Ye Rongxu: “!!”

Ye Rongxu: “!!!” Crap, the wheelchair didn’t have a brake.

He threw away the fishing rod, but it was too late.

The wheelchair was dragged by the fish, and due to inertia and the slight slope, it rushed straight to the lake.

Ye Rongxu’s face turned pale with fear. The bodyguard next to him just took the fishing rod, and before he could pull the fish up, he saw him and the wheelchair rushing into the lake together. He was so scared that he hurriedly reached out to grab it.

The other bodyguards also rushed over and grabbed the wheelchair, saying in a terrified voice, “Young Master—”

The wheelchair stopped, but Ye Rongxu was still flung forward by inertia.

Just when he closed his eyes and thought he was going to fall into the lake, a figure rushed over, one step faster than Chen Jiang, who also rushed over, and hugged him tightly.

But the rushing figure didn’t stand firm, and the two collided, falling into the lake together.

Fortunately, the wheelchair was grabbed in time, and they were still some distance away from the lake. Qin Chaoyan, who rushed over, fell backwards, and with the shallow water on the shore, only his shoulders and the back of his head touched the water.

Ye Rongxu’s whole body was pressed against Qin Chaoyan. His teeth hit Qin Chaoyan’s chin, causing the other party to groan in pain.

At the same time, the water on the shore became turbid, and the muddy water splashed up and landed all over the two boys’ faces and bodies.

Ye Rongxu panicked and propped up his arm, supporting himself. His face and hair were covered in mud and water. His white little face looked like a tabby cat, and his mouth was also splashed with mud and water, emitting a fishy smell.

He shook his head, shook the water from his face and hair, and then spat twice.

Just as he supported his upper body and raised his head with difficulty, Qin Chaoyan was spat at: “…”

Ye Rongxu: “Uh.”

He quickly raised one hand and tried to wipe the other’s face with his sleeve, but his sleeve was also wet and stained with mud and water.

Fortunately, Chen Jiang reacted and quickly picked up Ye Rongxu first, then reached out to pull Qin Chaoyan up.

Qin Chaoyan got up with his help, and the mud and water quickly flowed down from his shoulders and clothes, and soon most of his clothes were wet.

Although the temperature today is comfortable—even warm—it is late autumn after all. After the clothes are wet, it’s still a bit chilly when the wind blows.

Ye Rongxu’s clothes weren’t soaked with water, but he still shivered.

The bodyguards quickly went to the car to get a thin blanket and wrapped him up.

When Mr. Lu saw the movement, he hurried over with his assistant.

Seeing that the two were fine, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, “What happened? How did you fall into the water while fishing?”

Qin Chaoyan subconsciously turned his head to look at Ye Rongxu.

Ye Rongxu was wrapped in a small blanket and was helped back to the wheelchair by the bodyguard. Hearing this, he looked embarrassed, and his eyes wandered: “Just… caught a big fish.”

The tone was obviously a little weak.

When Mr. Lu heard this, he slapped his thigh excitedly and said, “How big is this fish to pull people in?”

Then he rubbed his hands and couldn’t help but say to the bodyguard, who was still holding the fishing rod, “Little brother, can I come and see?”

When the assistant heard this, he hurriedly tried to stop him.

Ye Rongxu became more and more embarrassed and corrected in a low voice: “It was the wheelchair that was pulled, not me.”

Chen Jiang pressed the wheelchair with a look of disapproval on his face and advised: “Young Master, don’t do this again in the future. This time, it’s thanks to Mr. Qin for coming in time.”

Hearing this, Qin Chaoyan turned his head to look at the two.

Ye Rongxu’s eyes became more bleak.

Just then, the fish that was running around was finally pulled up by Mr. Lu.

It was indeed a big fish, weighing at least eight jin, but…

“It’s so fat; this fish looks a bit like it was artificially bred. I guess someone came to the lake recently and released it.” Mr. Lu judged.

Qin Chaoyan heard this and lowered his head to look at Ye Rongxu again.

His eyes were pitch black, and water droplets still dripped from his forehead and hair. His tone was full of implication: “Released?”

Ye Rongxu: “Uh.” His eyes were wandering.
