The fish was longer than Zhang Fengmian's hand, weighing at least a pound and a half.
Li Zishu's voice turned sharp with excitement: "I told you all before, I'll take care of the grilled fish today, got it or not..."
She laughed until her eyes became crescent moons, proudly holding up the fish and turning back to meet Zhang Fengmian's gentle gaze.
The man smiled slightly, displaying his usual polite demeanor: "Impressive, Miss Li is truly amazing!"
As soon as he said this, the others began to boo collectively.
When young people gather, there's no lack of lively banter, especially since this group came from martial families, where propriety isn't as prevalent as in Zhang Fengmian's literary family.
"Impressive, impressive, even Master Zhang agrees, what more can we say!"
"Exactly, exactly, I am also impressed, Sister Li, you're really something!"
"Skilled at fishing and at capturing hearts!"
The crowd winked and teased Li Zishu, their humor clear without words.
