Chapter 150: Chapter 122: Can’t I just wash it! [Big chapter, 7000 words!]_1

No words were exchanged that night.

When Ye Fan got up, the sky had just brightened.

As he came downstairs, he saw Bai Zhentian and Ye Dong already awake, each holding a newspaper and reading.

Look at them, how alike they seem.

Could this be the life they like at their age?

“Ye Fan, why didn’t you sleep a little longer?” Ye Dong looked at his son and asked.

“Couldn’t sleep anymore.” Ye Fan smiled.

He had gotten used to it, usually waking up around this time.

Of course, there were exceptions.

“In that case, come and have breakfast.” Ye Dong said.

“Ye Fan, your habit of getting up early is very good, the day’s plans indeed start with the morning for young people.” Bai Zhentian nodded with approval in his eyes.

Nowadays, many kids love to sleep in.

But what they don’t know is that waking up early in the morning is good for their body and their spirit for the day is much better.

Sleeping in is something that becomes more addictive the more you do it!

Over time, not only is it bad for one’s health, but it also makes a person’s nature more and more lazy and degenerate.

“Grandpa, I know what you’re talking about,” Ye Fan nodded and said.

When they got to the dining table, the nanny immediately brought up the breakfast, consisting of steamed buns and a bowl of millet porridge.

Ye Fan, upon seeing it, picked up a spoon and started sipping the millet porridge while munching on the steamed buns.

A simple meal in the morning just to fill the stomach.

“Ye Fan, I saw there’s a Shallow Lake here and the chairs you’ve set up; do you also like fishing?” Bai Zhentian asked slowly, his eyes lighting up.

You should know, he really likes fishing.

When he arrived here yesterday, the first thing he saw was the lake, and he immediately felt the itch, his hands itching along.

What a great fishing spot!

Close to home, it’s convenient and satisfies the cravings!

Furthermore, it’s all fenced off, keeping some people at bay, which is better for safety too.

“Bai Lao, you don’t know, this rascal loves to fish, but I like it too. The feeling of fishing, well, it’s really quite something!” Ye Dong spoke.

These days, when he is not taking care of the kid, he’s by the lake fishing.

However, the fish he caught were more than enough to eat.

Having eaten the fish and enjoyed the fishing, the feeling indeed was great.

Ye Dong even felt that he wasn’t doing as well as his son.

Look, his son is doing so well, with a villa, fishing, a company, and so on…

And there are bodyguards, nannies, and the like.

Ye Dong was truly envious in his heart.

Of course, he was even more proud, as this was his own son.

In the past few days, he had been experiencing this leisurely life akin to retirement.

And really, it was quite nice!

Who would have thought that the kid would know how to enjoy life like this.

“Hahaha, I, the old man, really like it too. How about we go fishing together this afternoon?” Bai Zhentian said to Ye Fan and Ye Dong.

This fishing…

Once you start, you get hooked on it.

He was the same.

Whenever he had some free time, off he went fishing.

Fishing calms the mind and nurtures the spirit.

“Sure.” Ye Fan said with a smile.

After all, whether alone or with company, fishing was always more fun.

All three of them liked to fish, which was just perfect.

‘Then it’s decided,’ Bai Zhentian stated, his aging voice tinged with excitement.

“Alright, I have all the fishing rods and stuff here, and the lake has big and small fish alike. We can have a competition, see who catches the biggest one.” Ye Fan spoke again.

“That’s possible!” Ye Dong nodded.

“I agree. Let’s have a contest, as Ye Fan suggested!” Bai Zhentian declared.

“But, shouldn’t there be a stake for the win or loss?” At this moment, Ye Fan’s father, Ye Dong, chimed in, raising the idea.

A contest to see who can catch the biggest fish surely needs a stake.

“Right, dad, what do you think we should use for the stake?” Ye Fan asked.

He thought his dad made a very good point.

Bai Zhentian also agreed, looking over at Ye Dong.

“Money and the like are too vulgar. How about something different? Let’s say the person who catches the smallest fish helps the two victors wash their socks, how about that?” Ye Dong perked up.

That’s a good idea!

Washing socks!

It’s not vulgar and it’s fun!

“This…” Bai Zhentian hesitated for a moment but soon gritted his teeth and agreed.

At his age, he had never washed someone else’s socks before.

Of course, except for his deceased wife.

He had never washed socks for others, his status wouldn’t allow it.

Ye Fan glanced at his own father, knowing full well.

His father’s feet were notoriously smelly; in the past, once the shoes were off, the odor was quite pungent.

Each time, his mother would force him to take basin and all outside to wash his feet!

He had never expected his father would come up with such a stinker of an idea.

Quite brilliant!

If one were to lose, wouldn’t they really have to wash socks?

This…

Seeing Bai Zhentian had agreed, Ye Fan naturally didn’t have much else to say.

After all, if Bai Zhentian could agree, he had to as well, couldn’t be squeamish.

“Alright, then it’s settled.” Ye Fan said.

Ye Dong was very happy, smiling broadly.

Yes, someone to wash his socks, that was good news!

Of course, he believed, being experienced and having fished here nearly every day recently, his own skills had improved quite a bit, so he was sure to win.

In Ye Dong’s opinion, Old Mr. Bai Zhentian was also a fishing bigshot, after all, he had been fishing for decades, so certainly, his own son was going to lose.
