bite

=====================

Cheng Liao had already bought enough vegetables, but they didn't buy any more fish in the end.After the two bought the food, they were ready to go back.The vegetable market has two entrances, front and back, and the road inside is wet and slippery. In order to avoid going back, they entered through the front door when they came, and finally exited through the back door.

After coming out of the back door, there is a section of the road that needs to be walked along the river embankment.Scattered by the embankment, a few leisurely old men were fishing, with buckets for holding fish beside them.

Cheng Liao pushed the wheelchair and walked across the embankment, Lin Yuanye looked into their buckets with great interest, but saw that the buckets of most people were still empty.There was even an old man who came in morning exercise clothes. After setting up the fishing rod, he ignored it and got up to walk around slowly.

They had come here early in the morning and sat by the river for a long time, but no fish came to bite the hook in the water.It so happened that during the 2 minutes that Lin Yuanye was watching, the calm water surface suddenly became quite rippled.

The owner of the fishing rod was sitting upright on the small bench, with a tense expression on his face, and he was in a hurry to pull up the fishing rod to take up the line.

Other people on the shore also stretched their necks to watch, probably knowing that Lin Yuanye wanted to see, Cheng Liao also stopped pushing the wheelchair with both hands.

No matter from his face and demeanor, or from the movement of holding the pole with both hands, the man is a novice who has only learned fishing for a long time.Although his eyes were tense and excited, he did not dare to speak easily, for fear of disturbing the fish that were biting the bait in the river.

Seeing that the other party was in a stalemate with the fish in the river, unable to pull the fish to the shore for a long time, before anyone else could speak, Lin Yuanye took the lead in reminding in a moderate voice: "After the fish swims, you can release it." Do not stretch the line too tightly, otherwise it is easy to escape the hook and fish."

Although the fishing uncle didn't look back, he heard what he said.It was only then that he calmed down his nervousness a little, and subconsciously followed what Lin Yuanye said.Only then did the other people on both sides of him react, and began to ask him how to retract the pole.

Those people didn't look like they were newbies to fishing. Seeing this, Lin Yuanye withdrew his gaze and didn't look at the river again.Cheng Liao glanced at the water twice, then asked in a normal tone, "Do you know how to fish?"

"Yes." Lin Yuanye accepted his words casually, "Sometimes I would go fishing by the river with my friends."

But what he didn't tell the other party was that, in fact, he seemed to prefer to go fishing with his friends than this kind of river fishing.And his wine and meat friends, more often than not, invite him out to sea for vacation.

But these are not important, Lin Yuanye threw back the topic: "Do you know how to fish?"

"I won't." After a slight pause, Cheng Liao replied without changing his face.

Lin Yuanye immediately found a new breakthrough in the topic of the two of them.He raised his eyes and looked at the other party, with a small smile slowly appearing in his pupils, "My fishing skills are not bad, if you want to learn, I can teach you."

Facing his pupils as bright as autumn water, Cheng Liao casually hummed, "How to teach?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuanye thought for a while, and finally answered half jokingly and half seriously, "I will teach you how you want me to teach."

The tall man standing beside the wheelchair hummed again, "Is Bao the church?"

"Baojiao." Lin Yuanye smiled softly, "Will the church ask me to refund the tuition."

Cheng Liao raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was no obvious emotional change in his tone: "Mr. Lin, how do you charge the tuition?"

Lin Yuanye tapped the armrest of the wheelchair unhurriedly with his fingertips, with a look of laziness in his eyes, "What do you want to pay for the tuition?"

If Cheng Liao really wanted to learn fishing, he would naturally not charge him half of the tuition.Lin Yuanye said this on purpose, with a bit of a joke in it.And if Cheng Liao wanted to use something other than money to pay for the tuition, Lin Yuanye would naturally be very happy to see it.

After all, in the vegetable market before, Cheng Liao took advantage of him several times in order to pay less for ordering food, but Lin Yuanye hadn't found the right opportunity to ask for it back from the man.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuanye couldn't help looking at the other person's face, suddenly eager to find out what was in his heart.Unexpectedly, the man in front of him stretched out his hand to support the handle of the wheelchair, and squatted down in front of him without warning.

The interlaced line of sight of the two changed from looking down and looking up at the beginning, to a close level in an instant.Suddenly looking into the depths of the other party's black eyes, Lin Yuanye was caught in a daze without defense.

Cheng Liao squatted beside the wheelchair without moving, and locked his gaze with a flat expression, "What kind of tuition do you want?"

Although he asked indifferently and in a businesslike manner, those eyes that absorbed Lin Yuanye's full attention were like sleeping volcanoes dormant in the snow all over the sky. The flow undulates in it.

At this time, in those dark and deep eyes, what Lin Yuanye could clearly see was nothing but himself.

Although he also had a lot of doubts in his heart, he didn't know why he used volcano to describe Cheng Liao.From the literal interpretation and meaning, Cheng Liao's appearance and temperament seem to have nothing to do with volcanoes.Rather than saying that the other party is like a volcano, it is better to say that the man is like a frozen lake.

But that's exactly how Lin Yuanye used it.As for the detailed reasons and reasons, he himself can't say for the time being.

Fixedly staring at himself reflected in the man's eyes, Lin Yuanye did not answer for a long time.He even couldn't help wondering whether the other party had looked at other people around him like this.Probably no one can get away from Cheng Liao's gaze, and some people are even willing to fall into it and be smashed to pieces.

Lin Yuanye probably understood to some extent what those people were hiding in their hearts.

Suddenly, I realized like never before that what I have heard and seen from others over the years, the tricks to easily gain the upper hand and easily gain the upper hand when fooling those friends or acting on a whim, are all imitations and embezzlements.

After all, he still hasn't had an intimate relationship with anyone beyond that of his parents and friends, and he still hasn't had a serious relationship with anyone.

Silently judging himself as a temporary loser in his heart, and finally failing to respond to the other party's words, Lin Yuanye turned his face away as if nothing had happened, with a cautious attitude and thoughts amidst the joyful shouts in his ears.

"The fish is caught." Lin Yuanye changed the topic without leaking anything.

Cheng Liao stood up from in front of him, and looked in the direction where his fingertips landed.

The fisherman had already taken out the hook from the fish's mouth, and happily put the fish into the bucket beside him.The old man got up and walked back and forth, looked at Lin Yuanye with admiration and praised: "The young man has a good grasp of fishing knowledge."

"I can catch some small fish." Lin Yuanye smiled politely at the other party.

Seeing that the fish was caught, the two stopped staying by the river embankment and left soon.It was almost noon when he returned home, Cheng Liao returned the wheelchair from the next door, washed his hands in the kitchen, and was ready to cook.

Lin Yuanye sat at the dining table and looked down at the dishes. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man take out a kitchen knife and cutting board that had been unused for a long time, and asked with great interest, "Do you need my help?"

Cheng Liao glanced at him, "Will you?"

"I know how to wash vegetables." Lin Yuanye said without hesitation.

"The floor in the kitchen is slippery." Looking at his injured foot, Cheng Liao did not accept his suggestion to help.

Lin Yuanye said obediently, and in order not to cause trouble to the other party, he sat at the dining table without moving, put his hands on his face and looked at him boredly: "Should I pay you wages?"

"No need." The man said lightly.

Lin Yuanye raised his eyebrows and looked back, first picked up the cattail leaf fan and shook it slowly twice, then went to rummage through the bag containing onions, ginger and garlic.

Sharp-eyed saw a touch of red falling out of the pocket, Lin Yuanye subconsciously bent down to pick it up.When I took a closer look, I realized that it was a lover's knot bracelet given by the grocery stall owner.

Although the rope used to weave the bracelet is rough and ordinary, the technique looks quite delicate and beautiful.If it were on a normal day, most of Lin Yuanye would not even look at it.But thinking that this was a couple's model given to them by the boss, Lin Yuanye excitedly pressed the red rope onto his wrist, and made rough gestures about the length of the rope.

After confirming that the wrist can be put on smoothly, Lin Yuanye turned his head and called out to the busy man, raised the red rope he was holding on his fingertips to him and said, "Could you come over and help me put it on? I can't seem to put it on myself. "

Cheng Liao stepped on his tail and approached slowly, recognized the red string in his hand as a lover's knot from the boss, and his eyes fell on his face without moving.

Facing the long gaze of the man in front of him, Lin Yuanye smiled calmly, "This year is my birth year." As if he had automatically ignored the name of this bracelet, he tilted his head casually, and his tone was rigorous and serious. Falsely added, "My dad said that we should wear red in the year of birth."

Cheng Liao took the lover's knot without comment, "Which hand?"

After swaying slightly from left to right, Lin Yuanye stretched out his left hand towards him.Cheng Liao put the red rope into his wrist, and retracted the rope to the most suitable circle for him, then let go of his hands.

Red was already able to bring out a fair complexion very well. After Lin Yuanye wore it, as long as others didn't come close and bend over to take a closer look, they probably wouldn't be able to tell that what he was wearing was just a few yuan cheap.

He smiled and said thank you to Cheng Liao.

The latter got his words of thanks, and didn't immediately turn around and walk away. Instead, he reached into the plastic bag in front of him, and took out ginger and garlic from it.

Lin Yuanye raised his wrist to look, and asked casually, "Brother Cheng, did you learn to cook by yourself?"

"Yes." Cheng Liao pulled away the chair by the dining table and sat down, his eyes drooped slightly and began to peel the garlic in his hands, "Do you eat garlic?"

"Eat." Lin Yuanye nodded, put his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly, and then his eyes fell on the garlic cloves that had peeled off the skin under his fingertips, "What is your best dish?"

Cheng Liao said, "Boiled fish."

Lin Yuanye was slightly stunned, and when he realized it, he said with a slightly regretful expression: "I would have bought back the fish they caught if I knew it."

Hearing this, Cheng Liao took the time to glance at him, and said concisely, "Next time."

Lin Yuanye responded aloud, with a hint of a smile in his tone, "Next time I go fishing by myself, so I don't need to spend money on it."

"How long will it take to catch it?" Cheng Liao asked.

"If it's fast, it takes about half an hour to make a nest, if it's slow—" Lin Yuanye paused, and searched carefully in his memory.

When his eyes inadvertently swept across the man in front of him, the thoughts in his mind suddenly stopped, and then spread out uncontrollably.

"If it's slow, it may take a long time. It's also possible that no matter how much energy you spend, you won't be able to catch it." Lin Yuanye looked at him and added slowly.

"Really?" Cheng Liao frowned slightly.

"Of course." He replied firmly, and then pointedly curved his lips to add, "In the whole process of fishing, the most important part is to lure fish."

"If you can't lure fish, you won't be able to catch fish." Lin Yuanye said.

The other party nodded thoughtfully, got up and handed him ginger and a peeling knife, "Can you peel it?"

Accepting the things he handed in surprise, Lin Yuanye opened his mouth and replied, "Yes."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Cheng Liao to react, he took an empty plastic bag and placed it by his hand, held the ginger and lowered his head to carefully peel it.

Cheng Liao pulled back the chair behind him, as if to wash the peeled garlic cloves.But after taking half a step forward, the man stopped in front of him at a close distance as if remembering something, and bent down without warning.

The sound of warm and moist breathing fell on his ears clearly, Lin Yuanye suddenly stopped peeling the skin in his hands, but he restrained his urge to raise his head immediately.

"By the way." Stopping half an inch away from his face, Cheng Liao stated in a low voice, "You said that luring fish is very important, and I agree with that. But I reserve what you said by the river. different opinions."

"Not all fish will struggle to get off the hook and escape after biting the hook. Not all fish need to be released when reeling in the rod. The fish that want to take the bait, no matter how tight the fishing line is, they will not get off the hook and run away. .”

"If you don't believe me, you can try it next time." The man straightened up slowly and said.
