Chapter 136, 8 pieces
Clearly, its turn is over, and now it's Zhou Miao's turn to make his move.
Fishing is a tug-of-war, with one fish taking its turn after another. No matter how far the fish swims away, Zhou Miao can always quickly reel in the line once it gets tired.
In terms of endurance, this tuna, weighing less than 100 pounds, is no match for Zhou Miao.
It took half an hour, and the fish was still thirty or forty meters away from the fishing boat.
Just as Zhou Miao was about to pull the fish up in one go, large raindrops suddenly hit his face.
"It's raining?" Luo Qianqian noticed the change in weather immediately. "No wonder it feels a bit cold."
"You should pack up and go home first, so you don't catch a cold," Zhou Miao said, turning his head.
"What about you? Shall I get you a jacket?" Luo Qianqian pressed the disconnect button and asked when she saw that he was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
Although it's still very hot on shore, the temperature at sea is quite low at night. She had already put on long-sleeved fishing clothes after watching the short drama before going out.
Even so, she still felt a bit chilly from the sea breeze.
"I don't need it, I get so hot from fishing that I'm dying."
"I'm going to buy an umbrella. Qianqian, you can hold the umbrella for Amiao later."
Yu Muzhou had already put away his fishing rod and tidied up his fishing gear.
He wouldn't leave until he saw the big fish being caught, but worried that the rain would get Zhou Miao wet, he told Luo Qianqian and then went to buy an umbrella.
These items are available at the ship's shops, but not in large quantities.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Brother Zhou." Luo Qianqian nodded, removed the electric winch from the ship's side, packed her things, and went back to her room first.
By the time she returned to Zhou Miao's side, the rain had intensified.
A sea breeze blew, and the rain poured down on the people fishing in the corridor.
The eaves above Zhou Miao could keep out the rain, but they were useless at this moment.
Fortunately, Yu Muzhou returned with an umbrella when he was half-soaked.
He looked at the heavy rain outside in surprise: "Good heavens, it's raining this hard in the time it took me to buy an umbrella?"
"Qianqian, here's the umbrella. I'm going to the living room in the back."
"Okay." Luo Qianqian nodded, took the umbrella and tried to shield Zhou Miao from the rain, only to find that it was not only in the way but also didn't block much rain.
"..."
Zhou Miao watched as she stood beside him, shielding herself from the rain with an umbrella, which made her a little wet. Her opaque fishing clothes clung tightly to her body, creating a beautiful scene.
"The umbrella is useless. You're already soaking wet. Why don't you go upstairs to take a shower and change your clothes? I'm already wet, so it won't make a difference if I stay a little longer."
Luo Qianqian looked at him and saw that he was indeed soaked.
The short-sleeved shirt clung tightly to his body, revealing his chest muscles and abs.
She couldn't help but swallow, feeling a little tempted.
Zhou Miao admires her good figure, and she does too.
"Okay, this umbrella really isn't very effective. Brother Zhou should buy a raincoat."
As Luo Qianqian left, Zhou Miao focused on finishing up, slowly reeling in the fishing line.
By this time, most people had already returned to their rooms or gone to the living room, leaving only a few people still fishing.
They all caught big fish, just like Zhou Miao, so they had to continue fishing in the rain.
A boatman stood beside each of them, but the boatmen had already changed into raincoats so they wouldn't get wet.
As time passed, the heavy rain turned into a downpour, and the rain stung Zhou Miao's face. He could barely open his eyes, and his body was completely soaked.
He kept lifting the rod and reeling in the line, relying on his intuition, and finally managed to pull the fish to the surface.
The yellowfin tuna had already been outmaneuvered by him and was lying on its side on the water, letting the raindrops pelt it.
"What great luck! Such a big yellowfin tuna." The boatman who was waiting with a hook next to Zhou Miao was slightly surprised when he saw the fish, and then quickly called his colleagues over to help.
With a length of nearly 1.5 meters, it weighs at least 80 or 90 kilograms, if not 100. It would take at least three people to lift the fish.
There is a crane on the boat, but it's inconvenient to use, so it's easier for the group to work together to lift the fish up.
"Click-clack~"
Yu Muzhou appeared out of nowhere, wearing a raincoat and taking pictures of the fish with his phone.
"Ah Miao, this yellowfin is quite big, want to take a picture together?"
"Hey Zhou, how about we take a picture together? I'll take it for you."
Seeing Zhou Miao winking at him, Yu Muzhou immediately understood and laughed loudly, "Haha, great, you take the picture for me."
As he spoke, he handed his phone to Zhou Miao, then communicated with the boatman, and with the boatman's help, he picked up the fish.
"Click-clack~"
Seeing that he was ready, Zhou Miao quickly took several photos.
At the same time, a cable tie with Yu Muzhou's room number was also tied to the tuna's tail.
"Ah Miao, I've transferred the money to you. Remember to accept it."
After getting his phone back and looking at the photos, Yu Muzhou was very satisfied and readily paid the money.
Zhou Miao was stunned. How could he pay for the fish before it had even been weighed?
He took out his phone and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Zhou, you've given me a bit too much!"
The transfer amount shown on the phone was 8,000 yuan, which clearly exceeded the value of the yellowfin tuna.
"Not much. Like the seven-banded grouper last time, I bought ownership rights."
"All right!"
Zhou Miao suddenly realized that he had also overpaid last time, so he accepted the money without any qualms.
"I'm going back to take a shower now. It's getting a bit cold since we're not fishing."
"Go on, I'll pack up your fishing rod for you."
Zhou Miao felt increasingly cold outside, so she quickly ran upstairs.
As soon as I entered the door, I quickly took a hot shower.
After a relaxing shower and changing into clean clothes, I heard a knock on the door.
I thought it was Yu Muzhou, but I didn't expect Luo Qianqian to be standing at the door, holding a teacup in her hand.
"Here, I made you some ginger tea. Drink it before you go to sleep, so you don't catch a cold the next day."
"Thank you!"
It felt good to be cared for. Back in Nanzhen, Lu Xiaoxiao would care for him like this, but Zhou Miao never expected that the straightforward Luo Qianqian would do the same.
As soon as he took a step forward, Luo Qianqian defensively took two steps back: "I told you, I don't want to be bitten by a dog three times in one day. Don't get any funny ideas, drink it and go to sleep."
After saying that, she quickly retreated to her room and slammed the door shut.
Zhou Miao, holding the teacup, was exasperated. He hadn't really meant to be affectionate; he was just touched and wanted to hug her.
"If you don't want to get bitten three times a day, does that mean you're allowed to get bitten twice?"
Guessing Luo Qianqian's little scheme, Zhou Miao shook his head with amusement, took his teacup back to his room, finished the ginger tea, and went to bed.
The next day, Zhou Miao was woken up by the urge to suffocate.
The moment he opened his eyes, he had already rushed to the bathroom.
Ginger tea tastes great, but drinking it before bed can be a bit of a strain on your bladder.
Back in bed, Zhou Miao lazily picked up her phone and realized it was already 11 a.m., instantly waking up. She then ran to the bathroom to wash up.
Meal times on the ship are fixed; if you miss your meal, there will be no food unless you pay extra.
Freebies bring happiness, even though Zhou Miao didn't need the money for that meal.
After leaving the house, he knocked on Yu Muzhou's door, but there was no response.
I knocked on Luo Qianqian's door again, but there was still no response.
Somewhat puzzled, he went downstairs and found the two of them sitting in the living room.
One was playing mahjong with someone, while the other was playing video games like a little kid.
There's always a story waiting for you to uncover.
