As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up

Chapter 155: Chapter 145: No!_2

Hearing it was specially saved for her, Jiang Luoluo felt sweet inside, with a sense of being cared for.

Thinking about her days at the anime expo, she took the initiative to grab Chu Mingcheng’s hand, sat on the couch, took out her phone, and started sharing her experiences from the past few days, “I have taken a lot of photos and videos these days, let me show you.”

“Sure!”

The two of them sat on the sofa nearly touching but appeared very natural.

With every photo Jiang Luoluo flipped through, she’d introduce the background and places, and also ask him how her clothes looked.

It was a video game expo, so naturally, she was cosplaying as a game character.

...

Often such outfits are quite revealing, but fortunately, Jiang Luoluo’s was traditional game attire, showing only her legs.

She looked gentle and beautiful in the traditional attire in the photos, while in person she appeared pure and lively.

As Jiang Luoluo flipped through the photos, she suddenly noticed something was off, she turned her head and found Chu Mingcheng staring straight at her.

This made her heart start to flutter uncontrollably, and a blush slowly spread across her face.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Jiang Luoluo asked softly, looking slightly downward.

Chu Mingcheng, however, was drawn to her moist red lips, suddenly feeling a strong desire.

But just as he was about to taste them, she dodged away.

Jiang Luoluo tactically leaned back, her expression very shy, “Shouldn’t you say something to me first?”

Chu Mingcheng got the hint instantly and straightened up, saying earnestly, “Luoluo, be my girlfriend!”

The room suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of heartbeats thundering, “thump thump thump.”

“No!”

“Um…” Chu Mingcheng blinked in astonishment, thinking she would accept but instead she declined.

Seeming to understand his perplexity, Jiang Luoluo explained, “You seemed too perfunctory, I feel a bit insecure.”

“…” This explanation was unexpected and left Chu Mingcheng somewhat confused.

He felt he was very serious about wanting to be with her and then get married.

Chu Mingcheng fell silent and thought seriously about why Jiang Luoluo would feel that way.

However, his reaction made her think he was angry.

Seeing this, Jiang Luoluo took the initiative to hold his hand and then kissed him on the face to show her feelings.

“Don’t be mad, okay, I… I’m just a little panicked, a bit scared.”

“I’m not angry. I’m just considering what you meant by feeling insecure,” Chu Mingcheng said when he saw her being so proactive; any discomfort from being rejected vanished completely.

By then, he had figured it out—her behavior clearly showed that she liked him.

Being a bit panicked and scared was likely because they hadn’t been together long enough, and he hadn’t given her enough sense of security.

Chu Mingcheng had never before met a girl like Jiang Luoluo who was exceptionally outstanding in appearance, career, and personality.

Although he had dated girlfriends before, he had never actively pursued a girl, so he couldn’t say he understood girls well.

Clearly, even his confession just now was inappropriate, obviously being lustful.

Having realized this, Chu Mingcheng felt relieved— if this time it didn’t work out, he would find the right opportunity another time!

He pinched Jiang Luoluo’s cheek and said with a smile, “You were right to feel uneasy, because I was indeed lusting after you just now.”

Jiang Luoluo suddenly widened her eyes, then quickly pulled away his hand, grabbing a sofa cushion and throwing it at him, “Spit, you jerk, scoundrel…”

“Haha, you’re so pretty, craving your body means I have good taste and a normal physique, shouldn’t you be happy?” Chu Mingcheng caught the thrown cushion and burst into laughter.

Seeing his smug look, Jiang Luoluo couldn’t hold back her anger and picked up another cushion, this time holding it as a weapon instead of throwing it.

“Thank you so much! You just stand there, always thinking of naughty things. You’ve got a thick skin that bullets can’t penetrate, saying whatever comes to mind…”

One chased, the other ran, and the special atmosphere from just before was instantly gone.

Jiang Luoluo no longer felt the unease, panic, and a bit of awkwardness she had felt earlier.

After fooling around for a while, the two stopped, although Chu Mingcheng still had to endure the occasional cold look coming his way.

In the afternoon, Jiang Luoluo called for a housekeeper to clean the room, aired the quilts, and washed the clothes.

Waiting for the sun to set, Chu Mingcheng began to make dinner.

There were about a dozen shrimp left, so he simply steamed them, enjoying the most original taste first and saving other recipes for later.

As for Rat Spot, Chu Mingcheng had no plans to keep it; having a cat at home meant it wasn’t very safe to keep fish!

So, it was also steamed today.

Finally frying two steaks, cutting some fruits, and blanching some broccoli, an extremely unhealthy dinner of meat and seafood was ready.

“Wow, it smells delicious, what did you make tonight?” Jiang Luoluo had almost followed the aroma over, clearly unaffected by the confession incident in the afternoon.

It was mainly Chu Mingcheng’s self-exposure and playfulness that allowed that matter to pass.

“Go look in the fridge, there’s a big surprise!” Chu Mingcheng said with a smile, setting the steaks on the table.

“A surprise?” Jiang Luoluo suddenly remembered something and instantly slapped her forehead, “Oh, I also prepared a surprise for you, just wait a moment.”

Having said that, she ran back to her room and took out a gift she had bought earlier from her suitcase.

When she returned, she handed the gift box to Chu Mingcheng, “This is a gift I bought specially for you in Peng City, take a look!”

“You brought me a gift too!” Chu Mingcheng was genuinely surprised; he truly hadn’t expected Jiang Luoluo to prepare a gift specially for him.

Opening the gift box, he was surprised to find a pair of binoculars inside.

They looked quite nice and must have cost a fair amount of money.

“Now that you’re a captain, how could you be without a suitable pair of binoculars? So I bought you a pair. How about it, do you like them?”

“Of course, I love them! With these binoculars, finding fish will be much easier.”

Chu Mingcheng did indeed like them a lot; he figured Jiang Luoluo must have been quite troubled while buying the gift.

After all, their relationship was more than friendship but they weren’t officially together yet, so the range of gifts he could pick was very limited.

To think of buying binoculars showed that she really put thought into it.

“Hee hee, as long as you’re happy!” Seeing that Chu Mingcheng genuinely liked it, Jiang Luoluo also showed a happy smile, and then went to open the fridge, finding a marinade inside.

Somewhat surprised, she took it out and found sea lobster, Red Magic Shrimp, and shrimp inside.

Jiang Luoluo looked tenderly at Chu Mingcheng, who was examining the binoculars. Though it was only food, in terms of thoughtfulness and economic value, he had clearly put a lot of heart into it.

After all, this dish was comparable to the binoculars she had bought him.

Gifts cannot be measured by money, but money can, to some extent, reflect whether someone truly cares.
