Chapter 19: Sea Fishing

"Woo ......"

With a vibrating sound from the mobile phone, Lin Xiuyi, who was asleep, slowly opened his eyes.

"Ah...... It's rare to get another good night's sleep, but why do you have to get up so early to catch a fish?"

Looking at the time of 4 o'clock in the morning displayed on his mobile phone, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he agreed to go fishing with the Ishikari brothers yesterday. However, Lin Xiu thought about it again and again, it was rare for someone to invite him so warmly, if he blindly hid in the quilt and slept a lot, then he would really live up to the other party's intentions.

After struggling to get up from the bed, Lin Xiuyi took out the casual clothes that he didn't often wear from his suitcase and put them on his body. Then I went to the bathroom with endless sleepiness, while cleaning my teeth, and recalled the scene when I was fishing at the beach with my friends as a child.

"I don't think I've been fishing at the beach for a long time! I used to fish on shore, but I've never been fishing by boat!"

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyi suddenly had some expectations for this fishing trip. He quickly washed himself and went back to pack his bedding. After doing all this, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly walked downstairs.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning! I didn't expect you all to get up so early!"

As soon as Lin Xiu came downstairs, he found that Ling Nai and the others were actually busy in the kitchen early. This made Lin Xiuyi feel very embarrassed. Her mother, Makiko, expressed her displeasure yesterday with Ishikari Sakin's behavior of running out to play despite her pregnant fiancée, but she still got up early in the morning to help everyone prepare food on the boat.

Reina's sandwich and Kumiko's rice balls were carefully wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in the incubator, while the other side took out the frozen beer from the refrigerator and put it in another ice box. When all this was done, Reina and Kumiko got into the car with food and drinks, and everyone set off in the direction of the beach in the dark. And Makiko stood at the door, looking at the shadow of the car leaving in the dark, and refused to go back to rest for a long time.

"I'm so sorry! I saw you working early in the morning, and I didn't help much!"

"Mr. Lin is so polite, in fact, we also want to make some fresh food to get up so early, after all, it is rare for everyone to go out to play, if the rice balls and sandwiches are prepared early, they will not be fresh overnight. That's right...... Does Rena often go to the kitchen on weekdays?"

"Hey...... I basically cook breakfast and dinner at home!"

"Ah...... I have to go to school and do housework again, Reina-chan must be very weekdays!"

"It's okay, who let a guy survive on instant noodles and takeout for so long!"

Kumiko and Reina chatted and couldn't help but ask about Reina and Hayashi's life in Tokyo.

"Mr. Hayashi and Rena-chan's life in Tokyo must be very interesting!"

"That...... Kumiko, actually, you can call me Shuichi!"

"Eh, Xiuyi, after calling Mr. Lin so much, I'm really not used to it for a while!"

"It's okay, you just ask him to fix it, don't look at him always looks serious on weekdays, but once he gets acquainted with it, it's like a different person......"

"Your brother and sister have a really good relationship!"

……

Lin Xiu's brother and sister chatted with the Ishikari family along the way, and the car soon arrived at the nearby small fish port. When everyone got out of the car with the equipment of the trip, the left near the car took everyone to the place where he worked on weekdays.

"Zuo Jin, have you brought a friend here?"

"Hey, thank you, Mr. Otomo, for lending us the fishing boat......"

"You're welcome, how is Mie doing now?"

"It's not bad, I spend most of my time with my mother on weekdays......"

"Oh...... That's good! The fishing boat has been prepared for you for a long time, you should deal with it yourself, I'll go sleep first!"

"Hi Babble......"

Zuo Jin respectfully responded to a man about forty years old, and then he changed into his work clothes with the words "Otomo Fishing Boat" and warmly greeted Lin Xiuyi and the others.

When everyone put on their life jackets, they picked up the fishing tools at hand and followed Zuo Jin step by step towards the fishing boat of the Otomo Fishing House.

The fishing boat at Otomo Fishing House is a small yacht that looks a little shabby. The upper part in the middle is the cabin and wheelhouse, and the narrow aisles on both sides can only accommodate one person. When everybody boarded the fishing boat. Lin Xiuyi sat in the aisle with his back against the cabin, and had the fishing tackle that he would use when fishing for a while at hand.

"Are you ready? We're about to sail!"

"Good!"

With a few shouts of excitement, the fishing boat slowly left the dock and began to adjust its direction, and then headed for the depths of the sea. Lin Xiuyi closed his eyes, raised his head to feel the damp sea breeze, and couldn't help but show an intoxicated look on his face.

About 20 minutes later, when the sonar installed on the boat sent a school of fish below the surface, the power on the yacht was turned off, and the boat drifted freely with the waves on the water. Immediately after, Zuo Jin, who ran out of the cabin, jumped onto the upper part of the cabin at once, and then skillfully slid off the roof of the cabin and sat down beside Lin Xiuyi.

"I think we can start now! Would you like me to help you put the bait on?"

"Oh? I still don't need to, I can still do this!"

Lin Xiuyi said as he took out a small shrimp from the storage box and gently hung it on the hook. Then he raised his hand and threw the line out of the boat to the sea, and then set the rod on the side of the boat.

"Smack!"

After the beer can was opened, white foam poured out and sprinkled on Lin Xiuyi's clothes. Lin Xiuyi, who was unprepared for this, hurriedly put the beer to his mouth and took a few sips, and then sent out a cheerful and comfortable business!

"Ah...... I can't imagine what it's like to sit on a fishing boat and drink beer, but it seems like the beer has become even better!"

"Would you like a sandwich, Ernie sauce!"

Reina said as she delivered a sandwich to Lin Shuichi. After Lin Xiu thanked him, he immediately took the sandwich handed over by Ling Nai, opened his mouth and took a big bite.

"It's delicious! Even if I didn't catch a single fish today, just eating sandwiches and drinking beer here is very satisfying!"
