Quan Kunjie chuckled softly. "Yeah, my grandpa taught me when I was a kid. It's like riding a bike—you don't forget."
Xia Lihua nodded, but her attention wasn't really on his words. For some reason, the quiet confidence he exuded, his steady hands and the natural way he moved made her pulse flutter. He looked so… manly, so capable—and she found herself staring a little longer than she intended.
Quan Kunjie glanced up and caught her gaze, raising an eyebrow with a teasing smirk. "What? Never seen someone gut a fish before?"
Snapped out of her daze, Xia Lihua's face flushed slightly. She quickly looked away, laughing lightly. "It's… not that. You're just really good at it, that's all."
"Mm-hm," he replied with a knowing smile, before returning his attention to the fish.
