After two batches of food, Lyca finally finished her dinner and imdiately suggested that they just stay on the bench and sit until the fireworks would start. She was too lazy to move, and moving around with Shen Qui would make her hungry again. So, she wanted to just sit and wait for the ti to go ho.
"Stop embarrassing yourself and move. Are you a pig?" Huang Xiaoxuan gritted her teeth as she whispered towards Lyca. Lyca actually showed how lazy she was in front of Long Yi! What would Long Yi think about the Huang Family?
"Pigs are more trainable than dogs and cats," Lyca answered. "They are the smartest dostic animal. You should get one."
""
"Actually, if you watch the fireworks from here, you will stain your neck plus, the view is not nice at night." Shen Qui imdiately suggested. Seeing Lyca turned sleepy again made him wonder how co she was still so skinny. How could soone eat and sleep so much not have an iota of unwanted fats in their body? "How about we have another contest? This ti I am taking the contest seriously." He looked at Long Yi who had been quiet since they arrived. He was certain that Lyca said sothing to this guy. This Long Yi must be wracking his brains, trying to understand Lyca's words.
"Mr. Long how about another contest? Earlier, we agreed to have the two of us against the two of them. We should try it this ti."
"Why don't we play a ga that doesn't involve shooting?" Shen Qui suggested. "We still have about two hours before the fireworks will start."
"What ga are you thinking?"
"Goldfish catching." Shen Qui shrugged as he looked at Lyca's lazy appearance. For so reason, he had a fleeting feeling that Lyca would be very good at catching goldfish.
"Oh! That's a ga of luck. I heard that paper that they use is super thin so you have to be lucky to catch goldfish." Huang Xiaoxuan had never been to a festival like this but, she already used the Internet to check the information about this festival while she was waiting for her food order earlier. However, Long Yi was still in a very bad mood.
Being rejected and maybe even ridiculed by Lyca was enough to ruin his day.
"Then why don't we do this. The loser of this ga will go ho." He looked at Shen Qui, his confidence soaring. Long Yi wondered why Lyca would prefer this blokes company over his. Was it just because he was her bodyguard? He couldn't help but wonder if sothing abnormal is going on between the two.
Surely, Lyca would not lower her own reputation and have a relationship with an orphan soldier, right? After all, Lyca ca from two prominent Families. Both the Tang Family and Huang Family would surely object to this relationship.
"How about this" Shen Qui said. "The winner can demand everything to the losers. I think that is fair than forcing soone to go ho, no?"
"I agree." Huang Xiaoxuan nodded. "Of course, I know Lyca agrees too."
Shen Qui bead. He knew he wouldn't be able to catch so fish, but he was sohow sure that Lyca would win this ga. Knowing Lyca, she would surely ask these two to go ho.
"Let's go." Shen Qui held Lyca's hands and started walking back to the booth with different gas. "So the rules are simple. The person who can catch the most number of fish in thirty minutes win." He eyed Long Yi and sent him a mocking grin, just enough to make the man more sullen. Seeing Long Yi forced himself not to act out of his character in front of Lyca was enough to make him laugh inwardly.
After a few minutes of walking and trying to avoid the increasing crowd, the group finally arrived in one of the booths that were for goldfish catching. The lady behind the booth quickly explained that they were using real goldfish and would just reward them with the one goldfish if they were able to catch five real goldfish. Moreover, the winner would also have a card for unlimited takoyaki was one of the well-known stores in Long City. The lady also explained that they will be using a chanism to create so fake waves that would be enough to damage the paper nets that they would use.
Because of its difficulty, three paper nets only cost one Yuan.
Watching Lyca lazily stared at the fishes made Shen Qui smile. He then leaned towards her and whispered. "You should catch more. I know a place. A quiet one." He imdiately noticed the redness creeping towards her ears before Lyca elbowed him, making him grunt.
"For being a jerk," Lyca said. If he knows a place, then why let her wait since earlier? Most importantly, how did he know such a place? This man deserved so beating. "Just you wait." She hissed.
"Let's start with thirty nets." Long Yi's voice reminded them that they were not here alone. "We have thirty minutes to catch a fish." He purposely reminded them, hoping that Shen Qui would stop whispering nonsense towards Lyca.
The group quickly paid and once again gathered the attention of the people surrounding them. After all, these were groups of good-looking couples. Moreover, so people also thought that it was foolish for them to sped ten Yuan without even considering that there will be waves that would interrupt the water. Plus the goldfish are pretty small, and the paper nets were too thin. Even the waves could destroy it.
The group then approached a ten-foot rectangular pool that only one foot in depth where the goldfish were freely swimming.
"You can start when you're ready. Here are the thirty nets for each of you," the lady added before she stood next to the pool and turned on the fake waves.
Both Long Yi and Huang Xiaoxuan imdiately started scooping the fishes only to realize that the nets were indeed very thin. Because of the waves, the nets would be destroyed before it could even approach a fish. Their faces turned solemn as they look at Shen Qui and Lyca who were staring at the fishes.
"No using of hands," the lady reminded them and smiled. Since morning, no one has successfully caught a fish. However, this smile didn't last too long when Lyca suddenly scooped a goldfish in just one swoop. Gasps followed as everyone watched her caught the second one in another swoop. She was using one paper net, and she already caught two fishes.
Seeing this, Shen Qui sent another smug gaze towards Long Yi. As expected, his woman could catch fish.
