Chapter 74: Going To Fish

When Su Ruan woke up again, the little friend was no longer around. This situation really made her wonder if the dragon came to her bedroom just to sleep.

The thought made her a little speechless.

She wondered if that little dragon was going to find her again when the sky turned dark. Suddenly, she was looking forward to meeting that little friend again.

However, she would not expect that she would not be seeing the tiny dragon again for a long time.

…

A few days later, Su Ruan walked into the dining area and found that her cousin, Ma Yu Xi was having her breakfast while chatting with their grandma.

It took her a few seconds to remember that she had promised this cousin that she would accompany her to the lake with Long Fei and his cousin.

She was not looking forward to meeting Long Fei. However, she remember that Ma Yu Xi had mentioned that there was a also good spot to swim nearby.

Thinking about the little dragon that she had not seen for a few days, Su Ruan thought that this would be a good chance to check on him. If she comes along with them, perhaps she might get the chance to glance at the dragon later. She wondered if he would come out to say hi to her.

"Su Ruan, come over and have your breakfast." Their grandma, Lan Shi, was the first to notice Su Ruan's presence. "Have a seat. I'll go and get your breakfast first."

Su Ruan watched as her grandma went into the kitchen helplessly. The food on the table was plenty, but her grandma still wanted to bring in more food.

"Sister Ruan! You're up. I thought that I am going to your room if you did not come down in five minutes." Ma Yu Xi spoke in a cheerful tone.

Su Ruan flashed her a smile. "You seem very excited."

Ma Yu Xi grinned sheepishly. "Why wouldn't I be excited? Brother Yu Heng said…"

"Brother Yu Heng?" Su Ruan raised a brow and looked at her cousin suspiciously. "When did you get close to him?"

The girl let out a cough. "We exchanged our contact the day we went on breakfast together so that it would be convenient for us to discuss this trip. Then, he told me to call him Brother Yu Heng. Mister Long is too confusing, right?"

At this time, Lan Shi walked out from the kitchen carrying a tray of hot porridge. "Su Ruan, come and eat your breakfast." She placed the tray on the table and looked at her granddaughters. "That's right, the two of you are going out today, right? Where are you going again?"

"Grandma, I'm taking Sister Ruan to fish."

Lan Shi's expression turned anxious. "Will it be alright? It's not too dangerous, is it?"

The news about the giant snake was still a hot topic among the townspeople. Everyone was still afraid of the lake water and Lan Shi was one of them. Hearing that her granddaughters were going to the lake made her worry.

"Grandma, don't worry. There will be other people as well. Besides, this was not the first time that I have gone with a few friends on a fishing trip, right?" Ma Yu Xi glanced at Su Ruan and motioned her to eat her breakfast quickly so that they could leave faster.

As Su Ruan was having her breakfast, Ma Yu Xi continued to reassure their grandma that they would be safe.

Half an hour later, Su Ruan followed Ma Yu Xi to her pickup truck. "Where are we meeting them?"

"We're going to the town's jetty," Ma Yu Xi said. "They will meet us there."

Su Ruan nodded before she turned to look at the scenery out the window. Because of that, she failed to notice the playful smile on Ma Yu Xi's face.

…

"Are you sure she will be coming?" Long Fei asked as he looked at his cousin.

"That girl said her Sister Ruan is coming. They should be on their way to the jetty," Long Yu Heng said. He leaned on the wall and raised a brow. "Are you going to leave the boat if she did not come along?"

Long Fei chuckled. "What's the use of me coming along if I could not see her?"

Long Yu Heng narrowed his eyes. The phone in his hand buzzed and he quickly tapped his fingers on the screen to check on the message. After reading the messages for a while, his lips curled up into a smile.

"What happened?"

"Mayor Ding's matters have been settled," Long Yu Heng said. He passed his phone to Long Fei and continued. "He won't be able to stay in the political scene anymore. And that old and his apprentice seemed to be in trouble after they returned to Capital City. From the look of it, they would not be able to come over and make trouble for us."

Long Fei read the messages before he passed the phone back. "That's good." He hesitated for a while and spoke. "But this will only hold that old man for a while. We need to figure out a way to stop him from meddling in our life."

"What do you suggest?" Long Yu Heng raised his brow. After pondering for a while, he raised his hand and pointed his thumb to his neck, making a throat-cutting gesture.

"Don't be ridiculous." Long Fei chuckled. "That old man is not someone without a background. If something happened to us, it will only bring us trouble."

Long Yu Heng sighed. "That's true."

"I will talk to grandfather about this," Long Fei said. "This matter is concerning our family. The elders have been sitting around not doing anything and enjoying their life. We should give them some work and let them come up with something."

From a distance, Ma Yu Xi's pickup truck could be seen parked nearby the jetty.

Long Fei turned to look in the direction. The corner of his lips curled up into a smile the moment he saw Su Ruan. The girl would often keep her guards against him and Long Fei did not expect that she would agree to come to this fishing trip.

His thought went back to the night he had sneaked into her room just so he could stay closer to her.. Then, his expression turned slightly darker as he remember that Su Ruan seemed to like him more as that tiny dragon.
