Hua Cheng didn't understand why Jiang Xia went out in the middle of the night to buy a fishing rod, nor why he'd engineered a "chance encounter" to invite An Ning fishing. He simply thought Jiang Xia was just finding creative ways to spend more time with An Ning.
As for the deeper reason, only Jiang Xia himself understood.
Even An Ning had only realized in that one instant that her Master was truly gone.
Even the tears she shed yesterday hadn't been as painful as that single moment today.
As for Jiang Xia's fishing trip, she thought it was a coincidence.
A coincidence engineered by Jiang Xia. And so, the fishing began.
Among the group, Hua Cheng and Jiang Xia both knew how to fish, while An Guoping and An Ning weren't very skilled. Hua Cheng enthusiastically called An Guoping over to teach him.
Hua Cheng's intentions were good: to give An Ning and Jiang Xia some space to themselves.
'One teaches, one learns. That ought to take some time, right?'
