"Good-For-Nothing, time to change fishing spots!" Jin Er carried his fishing gear and walked a few steps before he turned around to see Good-For-Nothing lying down .

Snowball, on the other hand, was following closely behind Snowy .

Good-For-Nothing lazily looked at its master, it had no intentions of tagging along .

Jin Er let it lay down, it wouldn't get lost in the villa area anyway .

Snowy noticed that both his hands were full, so she tried to help him out, but he rejected the notion . "If your old man knew that I had you carry a bucket for me, he'd break down my door in the middle of the night just to fight me . "

It was rare for someone to ask him about fishing, so he carefully searched for the best spot .

The reason why Jin Er frequented the lake to fish was the serenity . It was able to temporarily take him away from his many business affairs and responsibilities, and allowed him to empty his mind and relax his body .

During the winter, the lake would be exceptionally quiet . There were no sounds of birds chirping or wind brushing against the trees .

Jin Er wasn't a professional fisher, but after fishing here for so long, he was familiar with the geography of the lake . He could guess where the Crucian Carps gathered in the water .

He swept his gaze across the lake and pointed not too far off . "Snowy, look over there . Right over there, underneath the ice, the water flows much slower . It's sheltered and faces the sun, and based on my experience, that's where the Crucian Carps should be .

Snowy carefully avoided stepping on dirt, or else she'd be reprimanded when she returned home . "Isn't this lake man-made? How does the water still flow?"

"There's a water pump to maintain water flow," Jin Er said . "It seems like the home association fees weren't for naught . "

Even though Snowy didn't know how much the yearly home association fees were, she felt that it was reasonable .

Jin Er found a flat space by the lake, and put his fishing gear down before he cut a hole in the of ice using the dip net .



Good-For-Nothing had followed, but didn't come close .

Jin Er opened his folding chair and told Snowy to take a seat .

Even if Snowy lacked common sense, she knew that the person fishing had to be seated, so she kindly refused and told Jin Er to sit instead .

Jin Er sat down and dug through the cooler before pulling out a live lizard .

"That's disgusting!" Snowy frowned as she turned away .

"The lizard might be disgusting, but it's a must for fishing in the winter . "

Jin Er had misunderstood her . The reason why Snowy felt disgusted wasn't because of the lizard, it was because Jin Er kept the lizard in the same cooler as the chicken .

Jin Er took out a hook and fishing line, and strung them onto the fishing rod before putting the lizard onto the hook . He took out a small amount of fermented sticky rice and sprinkled it on the water, this acted as bait to attract the school of fish .



After all the preparation, Jin Er sat on the chair and threw out his fishing line . With a tiny splash, the fish hook sank into the water .

They waited for a long time . Fishing is a sport that involves luck and tests your patience .

After a while, Snowy got tired so she squatted until her legs became numb, then she stood up again . She had to be careful not to let Snowball lie on the ground, or else it would turn into a mudball .

On the other hand, Good-For-Nothing wasn't discourage by the dirt . It laid down when and wherever it wanted to .

Usually, when Jin Er was fishing, he was calm . Not today . Jin Er didn't want to lose face in front of Snowy, he stared at the fishing float with a frown on his face, and tried hard to suppress the urge to change locations .

He started thinking that he wasn't getting any bites because his cast was too deep You have to fish deeper in the winter, but not too deep .

Fishing requires patience . During the year, you'd have to wait about 30 minutes for a reaction . In the winter, it usually took like an hour or two, but that's under the notion that there was actually fish in the water .

Those that weren't patient ended up with nothing . Only those willing to cultivate themselves were patient enough to fish .

Jin Er didn't want to waste Snowy's time . "Why don't you head home, eat your cake, then come back? Your mother might come out to look for you . "

Snowy thought it seemed reasonable . If her mother did come out looking for her, she wouldn't be able to avoid her nagging .

So she called Snowball over to head home, and told Jin Er that she'd be back after the cake .

When Snowy finished her cake, drank her red tea, and went back to the lake, Jin Er's bucket was still empty .

"Uh…" Jin Er's embarrassment was written all over his face .

It was at this moment that the fishing float moved .

"Holy sh*t! There's a bite!" Jin Er blurted out words that he hadn't said in years .
