"Yeah, what if something happened to him?"
Lin Xiaoyu grew tense as well.
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Though Ding Kaifang offered words of comfort, his own brow furrowed. "He's a very fast swimmer. Maybe he swam off after some rare, big fish?"
Just as everyone was discussing whether to gear up again and go look for him,
Suddenly, with a loud SPLASH!
The calm surface of the sea erupted as if something had exploded, sending water flying everywhere.
A massive, shimmering silver Spanish mackerel, well over half a meter long, shot out of the water and traced a graceful arc through the air.
An arm, gripping the fish's body tightly, broke through the surface right after it.
Li Xu had surfaced.
He held the large, struggling fish in one hand and flung it with a flick of his wrist.
"Catch."
Dripping with salty seawater, the large mackerel landed squarely on the deck. It continued to flop about wildly, making the two girls shriek and jump away.
