Thank you, BlueMoon, for the ko-fi~
“Baby, Rong Rong, keep an eye on Eggy for me. I’m going to take a nap.”
Before closing his eyes, Chi Rong remembered to call out to Feng Yuan and Rong Rong.
Since Qin Xun wasn’t on the beach, he could only entrust the task to these two little ones.
Ever since arriving here, these three children had been playing on the beach every day.
The adults had accompanied them for the first three days but found it quite boring.
So, the adults simply stopped coming, letting the children play on their own.
After all, this stretch of sea wasn’t dangerous for the little ones.
Feng Yuan and Eggy knew how to swim.
Rong Rong didn’t know how to swim, but he was well-behaved and stayed out of the water.
After giving his instructions, Chi Rong closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Seeing him asleep, Feng Yuan crawled over and covered his belly with a small handkerchief.
“Mwah.”
After covering his belly, Feng Yuan kissed Chi Rong’s stomach through the fabric.
Chi Rong’s belly was already somewhat swollen.
The two eggs inside occasionally stirred with little movements.
Feng Yuan adored these two eggs.
“Second Eggy, Third Eggy, be good now. Your big brother is going to build a sandcastle.”
After speaking to the two eggs, Feng Yuan ran off again.
He returned to his sandcastle, picked up his little shovel, and continued digging.
Rong Rong was also diligently shoveling sand.
The two little ones chatted as they worked.
“Yuan Yuan, is Uncle coming?”
“Yeah. My big dad will come in the evening. I’m not sure about your big dad.”
Feng Qi and Bo Han had taken on some work and couldn’t come for now.
Li Sheng, however, would come to check on the children tonight.
Rong Rong nodded his little head and said slowly, “My big dad isn’t coming.”
When his dad was working, his big dad never left his side.
His big dad said that if he wasn’t there to watch over him, someone might try to steal his dad away.
Rong Rong didn’t want his dad to be stolen.
So, when his big dad went to accompany his dad to work, Rong Rong never made a fuss.
As the two little ones chatted and shoveled sand, they weren’t overly worried about Eggy, whom Chi Rong had asked them to watch. Even if they weren’t constantly keeping an eye on him, they knew he wouldn’t get lost.
That’s because Rong Rong wore a bracelet on his wrist.
It was a child’s anti-lost bracelet.
On the other end of the bracelet was Eggy.
“Alright! Our castle is almost ready to live in!”
Seeing the castle nearly finished, Feng Yuan’s little face flushed with excitement.
Rong Rong was also very happy.
He had been sitting on the beach for several days. His back was starting to ache.
Now, the castle was finally almost done!
The two excited little ones sped up, eager to complete the final touches.
Meanwhile, Eggy, tethered by the anti-lost bracelet, was staring intently in one direction.
In the direction he was looking, waves were crashing against the shore.
A small child stood very, very close to the waves.
The child wore no bracelet on his little hand, and there were no adults around.
Eggy’s face was serious as he stared unblinkingly at the child.
After watching for a long time and seeing the child already touching the waves, he looked down at his own wrist.
The small bracelet on his wrist could be pulled off.
He was strong.
Seeing that his brother and Rong Rong were busy, Eggy silently pulled off the bracelet and then toddled unsteadily toward the waves.
Rong Rong was so focused on building the castle that he didn’t notice the abnormality with the bracelet at first.
When he finally felt that the bracelet seemed a bit loose, he looked up and realized Eggy was gone.
Rong Rong was stunned.
“Where’s Eggy?”
Rong Rong got up from the sand and asked Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan let out an “ah” and stood up as well.
With his sharp eyes, he immediately spotted the tiny footprints on the sand.
“Eggy is gone!”
Eggy, who had never wandered far before, had left a trail of small footprints stretching far across the sand.
The two little ones followed the tiny footprints to find Eggy.
Their search led them to the most crowded area.
It was the shallow sea zone!
A group of adults had gathered there, and one of them was crying.
“My daughter is missing! I only looked away for a few minutes, and she disappeared.”
A father was sobbing as he called out for his daughter.
The people around him were asking about his daughter’s features, while others had dived into the sea to help search for the child.
The commotion was loud. But Feng Yuan, who usually loved gossip, didn’t stop to join the excitement for the first time.
He saw Eggy’s footprints leading straight into the sea!
“Eggy went into the water!”
Feng Yuan reached this conclusion.
He told Rong Rong to wait on the beach while he headed straight into the sea.
Once in the water, he let the waves envelop him and carry him away.
The adults on the beach, catching a glimpse of his small figure, were terrified.
“A child has fallen into the sea! Quick, someone rescue him!”
A group of adults, watching Feng Yuan being swept away by the waves, panicked and called for help.
Some even recognized Feng Yuan.
“That looks like Yuan Yuan in the sea! I saw his latest update. He’s been at the beach recently!”
“Who can swim? Hurry, save him!”
These strangers wanted to rescue Feng Yuan.
But the increasingly turbulent waves made it difficult for them to attempt a rescue.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Yuan’s small figure completely vanished from sight.
Watching Feng Yuan disappear into the waves, the adults were filled with despair.
Some of Feng Yuan’s die-hard fans were so frantic their eyes turned red.
“Where are Yuan Yuan’s parents? Why is no one watching him?!”
The adults were frantic, their eyes red with worry.
Seeing their distress, Rong Rong mustered his courage, stepped forward, and spoke up.
“D-don’t worry.”
Timid Rong Rong bravely addressed the adults.
He shouted with all his might, “Yuan Yuan can swim.”
“He’ll be fine in the water.”
Whether it was Yuan Yuan or Eggy, there was no need to fear if they fell into the water.
Both of them could breathe underwater.
Rong Rong’s loud explanation did little to reassure the adults.
They didn’t believe there were children who couldn’t drown.
More rescue personnel rushed over urgently. Chi Rong, who had been sleeping, also walked over while rubbing his eyes after hearing someone call for Feng Yuan’s parents.
“I’m Yuan Yuan’s parent. What’s wrong?”
“Your child fell into the sea!”
Someone accused him, “How could you, as an adult, not keep an eye on your child?”
Chi Rong: “…”
Chi Rong glanced at the sea and didn’t see anything wrong with it.
He even liked sleeping in the sea at night.
There was nothing unusual about Yuan Yuan going into the sea.
However, Chi Rong understood the adults’ concerns.
So, unlike Rong Rong, he didn’t offer any explanation. Instead, he silently walked into the sea, just like Feng Yuan, and let the waves carry him away.
Watching as the child hadn’t been rescued yet and now an adult had gone in too, the onlookers were nearly driven mad.
While these people were frantic with worry, Feng Yuan, already in the sea, had found traces of Eggy.
Yes, he had only found traces but not Eggy yet.
According to the octopuses along the way—
Eggy was being chased by sharks.
It all started when some sharks surrounded a little child. Before they could even bite, Eggy charged over.
Rushing forward, Eggy clenched its chubby little fists and landed two solid punches on the lead shark.
Being a young dragon, the shark was initially intimidated by his bloodline and didn’t fight back.
But soon, the shark realized. Yes, this was a dragon, but a very young one.
Smaller than their own mouths.
Enraged, the sharks began pursuing Eggy, who had taken the child with him.
An octopus happened to pass by and also got punched a few times by Eggy’s little fists.
Feng Yuan listened to the octopus’s report and gently patted its tentacles.
“My little brother didn’t mean to hit you. He must have been scared from being chased!”
With that, Feng Yuan rushed off as well.
Following the trail, Feng Yuan finally caught sight of Eggy’s small figure.
Eggy had seated the child he was carrying on a reef.
He was busy fighting a group of sea creatures.
He was using a long sea snake as a whip and grabbing shells to throw like stones.
A pack of sharks surrounded him. One of them had its head knocked askew by his blows.
Feng Yuan stepped in and called a halt to the fight.
He tried to take the sea snake from Eggy’s hand and throw it away, but Eggy refused to let go.
The sea snake was brightly colored and very pretty.
Eggy wanted to keep it.
Seeing his reluctance, Feng Yuan indulged him with a doting smile.
“Eggy, what brought you into the sea?”
Feng Yuan cupped Eggy’s little face, kissed him, and asked gently.
Eggy was still too young to speak in full sentences.
So far, he could only say a few words.
When his brother asked him a question, he simply stretched out his chubby little hand and pointed at the child on the reef.
The child had fallen into the water, and he had come to retrieve him.
Feng Yuan looked at the child on the reef, then back at Eggy.
His eyes sparkled, and his chubby little face was full of delight.
“Eggy, you came to save the child!”
“You’re such a good Eggy!”
After praising him, Feng Yuan planted several more kisses on Eggy’s face.
The two brothers snuggled affectionately in the sea.
With Feng Yuan present, the sharks that had earlier wanted to attack and bite Eggy sensed danger.
They turned to flee.
But Feng Yuan was quick. He grabbed them and hopped onto their backs with his chubby little legs.
“How dare you attack my brother!”
“You’re done for!”
The little boss from the land was still the boss, even in the depths of the sea.
Feng Yuan gave each shark a thorough beating.
After finishing them off, he ordered the sharks to carry the little girl on the reef and deliver her to the shore.
“Stay right here, don’t move.”
Feng Yuan assigned one shark to watch over the child, while he and Eggy rode other sharks back into the sea.
He had one goal upon returning—
Claiming territory!
He needed to make it clear to all the sea creatures that from now on, he was their boss.
Whenever they saw him or his little brother, they had to show respect.
Feng Yuan smoothly expanded his domain in the sea.
Not only did he claim territory, but he also brought back a bunch of sea urchins.
These troublesome sea urchins had been wreaking havoc in the undersea vegetable garden.
The garden’s owner had complained to Feng Yuan.
So Feng Yuan decided to round up a whole group of sea urchins and bring them along.
He even cracked open many sea urchins with stones and fed them to the fish who tended the garden.
The fish were deeply moved.
They called him “Big Boss” with utmost sincerity!
After Feng Yuan finished being the boss in the sea, he brought Eggy back riding on a shark.
Eggy wrapped the sea snake around his chubby waist, making it look like a belt.
When they returned, the child was already gone.
The shark left behind told Feng Yuan, “Someone came in a small boat and rescued her.”
The adults had taken the child away.
Feng Yuan felt relieved.
Holding Eggy’s little hand, he walked from the shore on this side and made his way back to the beach.
“Eggy, look, a castle!”
“You can stay in brother’s castle for now. I’ll go call Rong Rong back.”
Eggy climbed into the castle and obediently nodded his little head, indicating he would wait for his brother.
Feng Yuan had just left to find Rong Rong when, not long after, Yu Yi came looking for them.
Yu Yi had been browsing the internet indoors and ended up stumbling upon Feng Yuan’s trending topics.
Both short video platforms and Weibo were buzzing with Feng Yuan’s hot searches.
Someone had posted a video of Feng Yuan disappearing into the sea.
He had been gone for quite some time.
Some attention-seekers online had already started lighting virtual candles for him.
When Yu Yi saw rows of candle emojis and countless people reminiscing about Feng Yuan, he shuddered instantly.
“Yuan Yuan!”
Unable to stay put indoors, Yu Yi rushed out.
He arrived at the beach and immediately spotted the little castle Feng Yuan had built.
Inside the little castle, Eggy heard his dad’s voice and poked his little head out.
Seeing his son’s head, Yu Yi hurried over.
“Eggy, what’s going on? Where’s your brother?”
Noticing Eggy was alone, Yu Yi reached out to pick him up.
Eggy looked at his dad’s outstretched hand, his chubby little face thoughtful for a few seconds.
After a moment, he grabbed the sea snake he had grown tired of playing with from behind his back and placed it in his dad’s hand.
“For you.”
Eggy even managed to utter a single word.
His brother loved giving gifts to everyone. Eggy, following his example, had just given one to his father.
Moonlit: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Imagine the fright Yu Yi will experience when looking at his son’s gift.
