Chapter 273: Chapter 273 How Good It Is To Be Single

At first, Lu Jing and Yu were really not familiar with each other and it was quite awkward.

But after getting to know each other better, they discovered that although the girl was young, she was really good at social skills.

Lu Jing admired people with high social intelligence the most, it made interactions always very comfortable.

No wonder Old Five had set his sights on her!

"Sister Jing, do you know how to fish?"

"Not really."

"No worries, I’ll teach you."

???

Isn’t fishing something that boys are usually better at?

Later, the two girls really did take their fishing rods and buckets to the creek.

The weather in October had already started to cool down, and the creek was especially breezy.

Luckily, they had brought jackets with them.

Yu was very skilled in her movements, it was clear she was really good.

After she finished setting up her own rod, she came over to Lu Jing’s side:

"Sister Jing, come on, I’ll show you how to bait the hook..."

Lu Jing had to admit, with Yu’s hands-on teaching, she caught on quickly.

Later on, over the course of the afternoon, the two girls actually caught more than a dozen fish, even more than the two men on the other side.

Old Five couldn’t believe it:

"How is that possible?"

The two grown men lost to two young ladies?

What a hit to their pride.

Jiang Ye, on the other hand, didn’t think too much of it, taking over the bucket and fishing rod from his woman’s hands:

"We can have a feast tonight, a full fish banquet."

It would definitely taste better since they were caught by their own hands.

The group of four then left the creek at an unhurried pace.

However, just as they reached the hotel entrance, they saw the figures of Pei San and Zhou Er.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Pei!" Old Five waved and called out.

The two men walked over:

"Lao Si, you and Jing are here too?"

They were shocked.

They hadn’t arranged to meet in advance; it was quite the coincidence.

Lu Jing felt a little uncomfortable facing Zhou Er and Pei San:

"Cough, Brother Zhou, Brother Pei."

Yu must have met the two men before and greeted them proactively:

"Young Master Zhou, Mr. Pei."

Indeed, from the different ways they addressed them, it was clear there was a difference.

Although both were girlfriends, Lu Jing called them Brother Zhou and Brother Pei, while Yu had to properly address them as Young Master Zhou and Mr. Pei.

Of course, clever people wouldn’t talk about such things openly, and Yu, who had high social intelligence, wouldn’t show that she cared, displaying a very natural expression.

Pei San seemed to notice the fish in the bucket only then:

"Wow, quite the haul, huh?" he asked.

Jiang Ye hummed in agreement, his face unusually full of smiles:

"Mostly thanks to the ladies."

Oh?

Even Zhou Er took an extra look at the two ladies present:

"Not bad!" he praised.

Lu Jing was too modest to take credit:

"It’s not me, it was all Yu’s teaching."

Pei San gave a round of applause:

"Awesome! Very awesome! Looks like our dinner is sorted for tonight."

A few dozen fish were more than enough even with a few extra people.

"Okay, enough with just eating, we still need to clean these fish."

Once Jiang Ye spoke up, neither Old Five nor the others could escape the task.

Lu Jing pulled Yu aside:

"Let’s go back to take a shower and change clothes first."

After fishing all afternoon, they felt like they smelled of fish.

Yu nodded immediately:

"Okay!"

The two of them left directly without saying goodbye.

Jiang Ye was already used to it, and Old Five didn’t really mind.

But Zhou Er and Pei San both felt a bit sentimental.

Truly, the wise should never fall in love!

Isn’t being single great, so sweet?

...

Lu Jing and Yu had already returned to their respective rooms; everyone was staying close together in the same block.
