In Yun City, Yang Yiren and his colleagues switched shifts and went to the market to buy an electric blanket. Yang Ruoxi had changed her flight ticket and returned earlier.

The ringtone of his old-fashioned phone echoed through the air, and Yang Yiren hurriedly placed the electric blanket on the ground before answering the call. “Xiao Bao?”

“Old Yang, I’m in Yan City now. We’re having dinner with a full table of people, including Wanwan, Yanchen… I sent you photos on WeChat. Check them out and reply, and also help me register a Twitter account. I want to post online like others…”

This call from Auntie Bao ignited a new topic.

“When it mattered, you first thought of Old Yang,” said Auntie Huang teasingly. “And you said you were only friends…”

Lin Wan smiled.

Auntie Bao changed the subject. “Thanks to Wanwan and Yanchen, today is my happiest day. It’s so great to be with everyone.”

“Can we start eating, Dad? I’m hungry.” Li Zekai covered his growling stomach and stared at the dishes on the table.

“Sure, should we all start eating?” Li Yanchen put down his phone.

The vacation rental was made up of several seaside villas. Li Yanchen rented one of them, which had two floors and five rooms. Li Yanchen and Lin Wan stayed on the second floor, while others stayed on the first floor. Even though they could have taken several rooms, the three children insisted on staying together. Auntie Huang and Auntie Bao also shared a room. They claimed it was more fun this way to talk with each other.

They could see the sea from the window.

Li Yanchen wrapped his arms around Lin Wan from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Reading the news?”

He looked at Lin Wan’s phone screen.

The news headline read: “Top Idol’s Family Life – What Do You Think of Li Zexuan’s Ten Consecutive Posts on Twitter in Just One Hour?”

The comments read:

[Oh, my goodness! I checked the history, and Xuanxuan hasn’t posted this much on Twitter in the past half year.]

[I’m in sales. I didn’t post as much advertising today as Xuanxuan posted pictures in an hour. I need to step up my game. I can’t let myself post fewer times than Xuanxuan.]

[Passing by as someone who hasn’t posted on WeChat Moments for half a year.

This damn competitiveness made me split a set of images into nine posts.]

[Am I the only one tearing up while reading this?]

[It’s as if I’m the one receiving all the love.]

[My baby looks so happy.]

[I found a new Twitter account with more posts than Xuanxuan.]

[Is it Xinxin? Please share the link.]

[Xinxin is smiling so happily.]

[Did I arrive late? There are already ten thousand comments.]

Lin Wan freed up a hand to rest it on Li Yanchen’s face. “They’re truly happy, aren’t they?”

“Yeah, they were eager to call during dinner. It seems like they’re showing off, but they actually want to share their happiness, even Jiejie called his teacher,” said Li Yanchen.

Lin Wan turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Are you going to come to the sea with me tomorrow? The owner of the homestay rental said we could bring back seafood, and they’ll cook it for us.”

“Sure. The beach is right outside the door anyway. It’s convenient for Auntie Huang and Auntie Bao to stroll there too.”

“Then let’s sleep in tomorrow and wake up without an alarm. Then, we head to the beach to relax. No other plans.”

“Alright. If we’re going to sleep in, we’ll have to make tonight’s activities more exciting. Should we start now?” Li Yanchen smirked.

Lin Wan retracted her hands and took a step back. “Is there any Ancient Tree Black Tea downstairs? I want a cup. I wonder if Mr. Li can brew me a cup right now. ”

Li Yanchen looked at Lin Wan in disbelief. “Do you really want to drink it? You’re not just finding an excuse to avoid me, are you?”

Lin Wan rubbed her lips against Li Yanchen’s face. “Do you feel it? My lips are so dry, and I’m really thirsty.”

“Alright, I’ll go.”

On the first floor’s living room, the two old women and the three kids were sitting on the floor and playing some idiom card game that Li Zekai had brought along.

When they heard footsteps on the stairs, they turned around.

Li Zekai stood up, clutching a card.

“Dad, you’re done with your shower? Do you want to join us in a game?”

Li Yanchen thought everyone had retreated to their own rooms, but they were all gathered here.

“I just came here to make some tea. I also need to plan tomorrow’s schedule with Wanwan. You guys have fun,” he said.

“Okay, Dad. I want to go to the seaside tomorrow,” said Li Zekai.

“I’m good with anything. I don’t mind. As long as everyone goes together, I’m fine,” Li Zexin said with a cheerful smile.

“I want to eat seafood. The kind that you can eat raw,” said Li Zexuan. “I’m up for anything.”

“Big Brother, you’re so daring. If you want to eat seafood raw, you should go to the beach and catch it yourself tomorrow and eat it straight away.”

“Maybe I will. What about Auntie Huang and Auntie Bao? Any places you want to go?”

“We’re both good.”

“I know everyone’s preferences now, and I’ll consider them. I am going to head back with the tea now. Oh, and tomorrow morning, please don’t wake us early. Just sleep in and rest until you wake up by yourself, alright? I’m going up now. See you tomorrow.” Li Yanchen took a can of tea and quickly went upstairs.

On the second floor that night, the activities were indeed lively. From the bay window to the floor, Lin Wan faced the sea, and Li Yanchen faced Lin Wan.

The next morning, the two who planned to sleep in woke up as soon as it was light outside.

After freshening up, they stood on the balcony and looked at the sea.

The air was humid.

Lin Wan grasped the railing in excitement. “Indeed, each place has its own beauty.”

“If you like it, I…” Li Yanchen wanted to say that if Lin Wan liked it, he could buy a house here.

Before he could finish, Lin Wan covered his mouth. “I know you’re going to say that you buy a house here, but you’re not allowed to. Some places are only nice when you get to visit them only occasionally.”

In the yard of the homestay rental, the children were already playing happily.

Li Zekai was holding a fishing net. “Big Brother, I bought a net. I can catch crabs.”

Li Zexin, who was sitting on a stone bench with his legs crossed, glanced at his younger brother. “Are you sure crabs are caught with that type of net?” “How do you know we’re going to catch crabs today?” Li Zexuan asked.

“We’ll eventually go and catch crabs. It’s a shame to come to the seaside and not catch crabs. Do you guys want to buy one from me?”

Li Zexin raised an eyebrow. “You catch crabs with that flimsy net. I, the young master, will catch them barehanded. I heard from an expert that you can find seafood under the reefs by the sea.” “Brother Xinxin, crabs can bite people.”

“Then, we’ll wear gloves.”

“We went to the beach early in the morning and saw a lot of seafood. We just didn’t bring anything to collect them with,” Auntie Huang said.

“Grandma Huang, you’re back?”

“If you’re going, take a bucket. Has Xiao Bao woken up?” Auntie Huang asked.

“Grandma Bao went to the restaurant to get food, ” Li Zekai said.

“Can your voices get any louder?” Li Yanchen leaned over from the second-floor balcony and looked down.

“Dad, you’re up! Come down quickly.” Li Zekai looked up and waved his hand..
