A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

Chapter 42 My private lake is so big!

"We'll confiscate your milk tea!"

Lin Yan: "..."

That threat was quite effective.

He sat up and looked at Syl's adorable, mentor-like demeanor, and suddenly didn't want to keep up the act anymore.

He wanted a different reward.

Lin Yan put away his playful smile from the morning.

He got up from his soft lap.

"Okay, I'll begin then."

Syl was taken aback by his sudden serious look.

Lin Yan raised his right hand.

This time, there was no awkwardness at all.

"Buzz"

Wood-based magic grows on the ground outside the door.

In just a few seconds, a wooden pillar rose out of thin air.

The next moment, the wind rose.

Countless gentle breezes, like carving knives, danced and sculpted the wooden pillars.

Wood chips fell like snowflakes.

The wind stopped.

Wood chips drifted in the sunlight.

A lifelike wood carving.

Wood carving Sil.

Back when they were adventuring side by side in another world, there was that elven princess clad in light elven armor.

Lin Yan meticulously outlined the strands of hair fluttering in the wind and the resolute eyes.

Syl stared blankly at the statue.

original.

So it turns out he was back then, so early on.

He had already etched his image into his heart, inch by inch.

"How was it, Instructor Seal?"

Lin Yan walked to her side, raised an eyebrow, and leaned in to take credit with a smug look on his face.

"You dressed like this back then, blocking my way."

"I remember it perfectly clearly."

He bent down and whispered in her ear.

"This classwork assignment, is it enough to get a reward?"

Syl felt a lump in her throat and was about to turn around and throw herself into Lin Yan's arms for a tight hug.

Suddenly, a sense of unease flashed through my mind.

She froze for a moment.

This level of precision?

Syl's ears perked up.

Lin Yan looked smug.

The emotion on his face froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then it transformed into a blush of both shyness and annoyance.

"Darling..."

Syl bit her lower lip, her voice trembling.

"You're clearly very skilled at using magic!"

Lin Yan's smug smile froze on his face.

"That……"

Syl's eyes widened, and a new wave of grievance welled up within her.

"Why did you do that during the review session just now?!"

"You're using it so clumsily!"

"You want me to teach you step by step?!"

Lin Yan's smile was immediately exposed.

He subconsciously looked away, pretending to admire the statue.

"...Um, well..."

"That's just because... different attributes have different proficiency levels..."

"I'm really not very familiar with water-related attributes..."

"You agree, right... wife?"

Seeing how guilty he looked away, Xier knew perfectly well that she had been tricked into taking advantage of him all morning.

Her fair face turned bright red.

"You big liar!"

She raised her little pink fist and punched Lin Yan's shoulder.

"All morning! The entire morning!"

"I stupidly taught you so many times!"

"You just wanted to lie to me!"

Lin Yan dodged and laughed, then reached out and grabbed the wrist that was swinging at her.

He pulled hard.

Syl was suddenly pulled into his arms.

Syl paused for a moment.

She did not break free.

Lin Yan lowered his head and encircled her completely.

"I just wanted to fool my advisor."

"If you don't let me lie, how can I have an excuse to get my tutor to teach me step by step?"

Syl buried her face in his chest, remaining silent and sullen.

A while later.

She secretly raised her head.

"Fool……"

Her voice was soft.

"This final exam..."

"I'll give you full marks..."

Not far away, the gate of the old house was gently pushed open a crack.

Lin Jiayao originally came to discuss business plans for the fishing pond with Lin Yan.

He poked half his head in.

Then I saw the scene in the courtyard.

I saw two people hugging each other.

Lin Jiayao: "..."

Lin Jiayao silently pulled his head back.

……

The afternoon sun shone brightly in the courtyard.

Lin Yan was in a very good mood.

He rummaged through the house and found a straw hat, put it on, picked up the red plastic basket, and held a homemade bamboo fishing rod in his other hand.

"Sier, let's go!"

Lin Yan reached out and took her soft hand in his.

"Where to?"

"Boating and fishing."

Lin Yan said with longing.

"That fishing spot down the hill behind the mountain, I've had them working on it for so long, it must be huge by now. Let's go boating!"

He had already pictured the scene in his mind:

On the shimmering lake, a small boat was fishing, and Hill was beside him, with nowhere else to go, so he could only obediently give him a lap pillow.

perfect.

This is the ultimate meaning behind his painstaking efforts in building his territory.

Lin's tone was resolute.

"today,"

"Nobody is allowed to disturb us."

Syl tilted his head.

"Um."

The two walked along the newly built road toward the back of the mountain, where wildflowers were in full bloom.

As they walked, Lin Yan told Xier interesting stories about Blue Star, recounting them in great detail.

Syl would occasionally grunt in response.

Then, before they even rounded that mountain pass...

"Beep beep!"

A piercing horn blared.

Lin Yan paused for a moment.

"Could the Rolls-Royce in front please move aside? My car can't get in!"

Lin Yan: "..."

"Mr. Zhang! You're here too? Did you see Lao Wang's post on WeChat Moments last night?"

"I checked! They say the fish in this reservoir are especially big? I brought my gear last night!"

Lin Yan stopped completely.

He and Syl exchanged a glance.

Then, he saw that scene.

The fishing spot, which was usually deserted, was now packed with luxury cars.

They blocked that road completely.

Along the shore, countless parasols were set up.

Old Wang and Old Li, along with a group of middle-aged business owners, squeezed into a row, holding expensive fishing rods and frantically casting them into the water.

"We've got a fish! Holy crap! That's some serious strength! Quick, quick, where's the landing net?"

"I got it too! Don't get your thread tangled in my hair!"

"Oops, the line broke... It's okay, I have a spare rod."

A section of the road along the shore has already been paved.

Zhang Li and her assistant set up a table, and Lin Jiayao was also there. They sat around the table, drinking tea and talking.

A gentle breeze blew in from the back of the mountain.

Lin Yan stood there, motionless, surrounded by luxury cars and crowds.

"Ayan!!"

An excited voice emerged from the crowd.

Lin Jiayao came over, his face showing an expression of great success.

"Ayan! Your plan was a huge success!! The giant fish you ordered is a social media godsend!"

"Look at this popularity! I've got all sorts of business owners here!"

He rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming.

"Ayan, you're amazing!"

"...???"

Lin Yan took a deep breath.

He slowly raised his head and looked up at the azure sky.

Then, he let out a wail from the depths of his soul.

"I just wanted to take my wife for a quiet boat ride..."

"I have such a big private lake?!"

Behind him, Lin Jiayao was still standing there, looking completely bewildered.
