184: If you insult me, I'll stab him!
"Holy shit, Brother Wo Zi's landing technique is pretty awesome!"
"Landing a fish, the most important thing is a steady heart and hands that don't shake. If you're afraid of losing the fish, tsk tsk~"
"Brother Wo Zi's technique, you can't develop that without having lost a few big ones."
"Clean and sharp. Don't be fooled by how it seems Brother Wo Zi put all his strength into that one move, he actually didn't. It was precisely to guard against missing on the first try, allowing him to pull the Landing Net back faster to prevent losing the fish!"
Gao Xiaofan jumped to the bank, looked at the interaction in the bullet comments, and couldn't help but smile.
"Everyone's right. Landing a fish requires the right mindset. You can only land a fish well if you're not afraid of losing it. Also, I really didn't use my full strength. With big fish like this, if you feel something's wrong halfway through the landing, you have to pull back immediately and keep fighting the fish."
Although Gao Xiaofan's words were replying to the bullet comments in the livestream room, he was actually speaking to Qiu Gu standing beside him.
Qiu Gu understood and nodded, indicating he got it.
"Alright, let our Sister Yuer pick up the big fish and show it off for everyone!"
After saying this, Gao Xiaofan looked over at Li Yuer, who was holding a large Fish Grip, clamping the fish's mouth, and lifting it with effort.
"37 jin!!!" (Approx. 18.5 kg / 40.7 lbs)
Li Yuer shouted loudly. Qiu Gu also picked up the Gimbal, moved it close to the Fish Grip, adjusted the lens, and gave a close-up shot.
Gao Xiaofan stood to the side, watching the lively group, feeling happy inside.
"Come on~, my team leader, what are you spacing out for!" Li Yuer coquettishly chided, waving at Gao Xiaofan, then handed her phone to Little Orange.
Gao Xiaofan shook his head with a smile. Li Yuer stood in the middle, Gao Xiaofan stood on the left, and Qiu Gu stood on the right.
Little Orange raised the phone: "3~2~1..."
"Click" The sound of the camera shutter went off. Li Yuer's smile was as bright as a flower. Her head gently leaned to the left, then quickly straightened again. Gao Xiaofan, facing the camera, was completely unaware.
Little Orange looked at the photo that was taken, muttering to herself.
"Still saying you don't like her, pfft~"
"What are you muttering about~" After the three of them gently put the fish down, Gao Xiaofan walked over, intending to look at the photo.
Before he could see it, Li Yuer darted over, grinning as she grabbed the phone and stuffed it in her pocket.
"Come on, Brother Gu, help me and Little Orange take a picture~"
Little Orange pouted: "As it should be~"
"Hahahaha~" Everyone couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
Just after the photo was taken, in the midst of the lively atmosphere, the two annoying Fat Balls came over again. Without any communication, they started taking pictures of the Black Carp still on the ground.
Everyone frowned but said nothing. However, after taking a round of pictures, the two weren't satisfied and started picking it up to take pictures holding it.
This kind of impolite behavior was truly quite uncomfortable. At the very least, they should have said hello. Qiu Gu was about to lose his temper again, but Gao Xiaofan stopped him, giving him a look.
Since they like taking pictures, just let them take pictures.
As for the audience in the livestream room, they were now completely exploding.
"Who are these two fat pigs? Are they the ones who shouted 'oh ho' earlier???"
"What kind of manners is that? As fellow Anglers, I'm ashamed to be associated with them!!!"
"Looking at their clothes and those big bellies, they're probably officials!"
"Officials? Isn't it a weekday? Coming out to fish? Someone with skills, dox them!!!"
...Just then, the Fat Ball who had earlier tried to chat up Li Yuer lost his grip. The Black Carp fell directly from his arms to the ground with a heavy thud.
For a moment, everyone was stunned. The two Fat Balls were also stunned.
"Sorry, sorry." The other Fat Ball quickly apologized, though his attitude seemed more like a perfunctory response.
"How could you do that? With you handling the fish like this, it probably won't survive."
Li Yuer couldn't help but shout.
"If it dies, it dies. Don't tell me you were planning to release it anyway."
Fat Ball said disdainfully, brushing off the dirt on his clothes as if it were nothing, looking disgusted.
This fish is really smelly, my clothes are all dirty.
Gao Xiaofan, with a calm expression, pulled back Li Yuer who was about to say something more. He smiled at the two Fat Balls.
"We were indeed planning to release it. It's fine, we'll just consider it dinner tonight."
The two middle-aged men listened to Gao Xiaofan's words, smiled, ignored him, turned around, and walked back towards their fishing spots, chatting and laughing as they went.
"That's really big! Director Li~"
"It is big, must be a C-cup, hahaha!"
"Director Li, you... truly are a man of passion!"
Their completely undisguised vulgar language reached everyone's ears. Except for Little Orange who didn't get it, Li Yuer, Gao Xiaofan, and Qiu Gu all changed expressions.
Gao Xiaofan grabbed Qiu Gu, who was about to charge over there, and yanked him hard, pulling him towards the fishing spot in the opposite direction.
"Li Yuer, you go interact (with the stream)!"
"You come with me!!!"
Gao Xiaofan's unusually angry, low roar made Li Yuer, who originally had a frosty expression, quickly calm down. She obediently picked up the Gimbal and started interacting. Qiu Gu was dragged away, leaving only a bewildered Little Orange on the scene, not knowing what had happened.
"Talk. What's really going on with you?"
Gao Xiaofan glanced over, confirming they were already some distance from where Li Yuer was, then turned to stare at Qiu Gu.
"What do you mean what's going on? His mouth is dirty."
Gao Xiaofan looked at Qiu Gu with his neck stiffened, feeling a headache coming on.
"So what were you going to do? Beat him up? Or stab him?"
"Stabbing him works too." Qiu Gu said indifferently, his eyes still glancing intentionally or unintentionally towards the two Fat Balls.
Originally, Gao Xiaofan's question was just a joke, but seeing Qiu Gu's indifferent attitude made Gao Xiaofan freeze in place.
"I said, if you don't like someone, tell me, and I'll help you stab him."
"Today, I'll add another line: Whoever dares insult you, I'll stab them too!"
Gao Xiaofan stared blankly at Qiu Gu in front of him, listening to his words. His mind was in turmoil, finally understanding.
"Don't say things like that anymore. If you keep saying them, we can't be brothers anymore, and we can't do this kind of work either. This is a society ruled by law now. Do you think you're a warlord?"
After saying this with a serious face, Gao Xiaofan wondered if his words were too harsh and couldn't help but soften his tone.
"I told you to live more freely, not to let yourself go completely. Aren't you thinking about your two kids at all?"
"What, you won't help me raise them?" Qiu Gu asked, squinting.
"Raise your ass, get lost~"
Gao Xiaofan punched him hard, then turned and walked away.
"I'll take care of those two fat pigs."
As soon as the words were spoken, Qiu Gu rushed over with a nervous expression.
"What are you doing? Don't go crazy! It's not worth it!"
Gao Xiaofan squinted at Qiu Gu, who was clutching his left arm.
"Can you stop messing with my arm? Now you know it's not worth it?"
Qiu Gu awkwardly let go of Gao Xiaofan's left arm, which swung limply.
Gao Xiaofan looked exasperated as he used his right hand to steady his left arm, then said softly.
"Today, I'll let you know what it means for words to become reality."
