Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!-Chapter 300: Very Clever

Seeing Ye Anxin still staring at the float, the fisherman hurriedly reminded, "The fish is hooked! Madam, quickly pull the rod!"

"Oh! Okay!" Ye Anxin quickly nodded, pulled the fishing rod, and gave it a strong tug towards her chest.

Before long, a small fish was pulled up by Ye Anxin just like that.

Ye Anxin held the caught fish in front of Mu Beiting, waved it happily, and said, "Haha! Uncle, I caught a fish, look, I caught a fish! It’s my first time fishing, and I caught one! I’m so happy!"

The fisherman pointed at a bucket filled with seawater and said, "Madam, you can put the fish in here!"

"Okay!" Ye Anxin carefully removed the fish from the hook and gently placed it in the bucket. After the fisherman baited her hook again, she cast it back into the sea.

Time flew by, and having experienced the joy of fishing for the first time, Ye Anxin became thoroughly engrossed in it!

However, after a while, it wasn’t as easy as before! It might take half an hour to catch just one fish.

The fisherman took a glance at Ye Anxin’s disappointed little face and chuckled, "Madam, fish are smart! They probably swam elsewhere! Let me row the boat to a different spot, and you can try again!"

Hearing this, Ye Anxin’s eyes lit up, and she nodded her little head vigorously, "Alright!"

The fisherman rowed the boat further and then stopped.

Arriving at a new location, Ye Anxin pointed at the fishing net on the boat and said expectantly, "Fisherman Uncle, could you teach me how to cast a net? Every time I see people casting nets on television, it looks so fun!"

"As long as Madam wants, I’ll teach you!" he said, putting away the fishing rod and taking out the fishing net. He taught Ye Anxin step by step, very carefully, and after teaching the techniques of holding the net, he gracefully cast the net out, "That’s how you cast the net! After a while, just reel it in!"

Ye Anxin nodded slightly, appearing to understand, and watched the net without blinking.

After a while, the fisherman slowly pulled back the net he had cast out!

Even though the net hadn’t stayed long in the water, there were still quite a few fish caught in the net!

Once the fisherman took the fish out and placed them in the bucket, Ye Anxin quickly stood up excitedly and said, "Let me try, let me try!" Following the fisherman’s method, she took the net in her hand and mimicked his style in casting it out.

When casting out the net, Ye Anxin felt she was following the fisherman’s instructions precisely! Yet, the net went out without any strength!

When the fisherman cast the net, it spread out completely! But her net was limp, and didn’t fully open.

Ye Anxin pouted in disappointment, "It looks simple, but it’s hard to do in practice!"

The fisherman chuckled and comforted her, "Madam, don’t worry! If it were easy, everyone would be doing it, right? Casting nets takes skill! You need to use clever force with your wrist, no need for brute strength from the arm; otherwise, it’s just forceful effort!"

Ye Anxin retrieved the net, holding it in her hand, and asked, "Really? How do I use clever force?"

"Come! Let me demonstrate again!" He said, taking the net from Ye Anxin’s hands and explaining everything once more, then deftly cast the net into the sea.

"Let me try again!" Ye Anxin lowered her head, carefully recollecting his words in her mind, then took the net back from the fisherman, removed the fish, placed them in the bucket, and while replaying his instructions, cast the net again into the sea.

Although the net still didn’t completely open, it was much better than before.

Seeing Ye Anxin’s cast, the fisherman genuinely praised, "Madam is really smart, to grasp the technique so quickly! With more practice, it won’t be long before you’re as good as I am!"

Ye Anxin asked incredulously, "Really?"

The fisherman nodded sincerely, "Absolutely! When we first learned, we spent days and nights at sea practicing without sleeping! Unlike Madam, who after just two lessons, can already cast so beautifully! After a couple more tries, you’ll be just like me!"

"Fisherman Uncle, you’re making me embarrassed!" With such straightforward compliments, Ye Anxin lowered her head bashfully!

The fisherman smiled, "Madam, I’m telling the truth, you don’t need to feel embarrassed! Just practice more, and I believe soon you’ll be casting perfectly!"

"Alright! I’ll keep trying!" Ye Anxin nodded, pulled the net from the water, and tirelessly practiced casting it out and pulling it in repeatedly!

Though it was hard work, each time pulling the net from the water took a lot of effort!

Yet Ye Anxin still enjoyed herself!

After repeated practice, Ye Anxin finally managed to cast the net with some semblance of skill!

Seeing her sweating profusely, Mu Beiting took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Ye Anxin turned her head, excitedly looking at Mu Beiting, "Uncle, am I smart or what! Look, isn’t my casting getting passable?"

Mu Beiting nodded gently!

"We just need to wait and then reel the net in! Haha, I wonder how many fish will be caught!" Ye Anxin tilted her head, excitedly calculating.

Mu Beiting remained silent, his deep eyes focused intently on her!

Ye Anxin sat on the boat for a while, then stood up, eager to reel in the net.

Unfortunately, to her disappointment, the net didn’t have as many fish as she had imagined! Only a few pitiful little ones bleeding.

Looking at the few small fish in the net, Ye Anxin said in disappointment, "Why are there only a few? And such small ones at that?"

"Madam, don’t be discouraged! It’s not your fault; we should change location! The fish here are just like before, scared away by us!" The fisherman comforted with a smile and began rowing back to where they fished before.

Upon reaching the spot, the fisherman smiled and said, "Madam, now if you cast the net, there should be many fish!"

"Oh! Okay!" Ye Anxin nodded, stood up, and mimicked her earlier attempt, casting the net out.

After the previous practice, although her casting wasn’t as beautiful as the fisherman’s, it was quite impressive!

After a long wait, Ye Anxin cautiously began to reel in the net.

Just as the fisherman had said, when the net was reeled in, it was full of fish of various sizes!

In fact, by the end, Ye Anxin was almost out of strength to pull it in!
