"Really? My baby is so smart!" Bi Qiaoan praised with a smile.

An'an smiled proudly, then suddenly froze, as if remembering something: "Mom, Dad asked me to tell you that he and my sister are very close!"

Bi Qiaoan's smile froze as she suddenly realized that Shen Yanming probably thought something had happened to her.

She didn't even bother to tidy up; she picked up An'an and ran towards the storage area. Finding the journey too slow, she even rode the little electric scooter parked in front of the villa.

The two arrived at the storage area in no time. As soon as Bi Qiaoan passed through the transparent light screen, she saw the unconscious goose on the ground and almost ran it over with a car wheel.

She slammed on the brakes, narrowly avoiding a human tragedy, before looking at An'an with a face full of confusion.

To everyone's surprise, An'an looked at the little "corpse" on the ground with teary eyes and cried, "Mommy, the goose is dead, I'm scared!"

He asked his goose to come with him for dinner, but to his surprise, as soon as the goose came in, it suddenly lay down on the ground and didn't move. He called it several times, but the goose didn't respond.

Bi Qiaoan was both amused and exasperated. She rubbed An'an's little head, picked him up from the car, and said, "The goose isn't dead, but it can't come here. If it does, it'll just fall into a deep sleep like this. If we take it to the other side where there's soil, it'll be lively and energetic again."

An'an wiped away her tears and asked, sniffling, "Really?"

“Yeah, let’s try it if you don’t believe me.” Bi Qiaoan didn’t say much, and directly carried the goose out of the storage area. An’an followed behind, looking curious.

Not long after the two returned to the planting area, the goose opened its eyes groggily. Then it shook its head, wondering why it was there.

Bi Qiaoan stroked its feathers: "Thank you for keeping An'an company today, but you can't come here again, or you'll fall into a deep sleep."

The goose nodded, glanced at the mother and child, and ran away. Bi Qiaoan ignored it and took An'an's hand, returning to the storage area.

"Husband, husband, are you awake? I'm back," Bi Qiaoan said, her voice still a little choked up.

Shen Yanming's slightly narrowed eyes widened instantly. After confirming that he wasn't hallucinating, he quickly replied mentally, "Wife, I'm here. How are you? Are you alright?"

Noticing that Bi Qiaoan was covered in dirt and looked utterly disheveled, he became anxious and quickly said, "Wife, wait a moment, I'll be right in."

"Is it convenient? If not, don't come in. I'm fine, I'm not hurt." Bi Qiaoan lied, not wanting Shen Yanming to worry, but she forgot that her husband could see everything.

"It's okay, I'll find a chance to go in." He felt it wasn't real until he saw it with his own eyes and hugged it in his own hands.

“Okay!” Bi Qiaoan nodded, no longer refusing. Then she took a few dishes from the shelf, intending to fill her stomach. But when she saw her wrinkled and dirty hands, she instantly lost her appetite.

Bi Qiaoan sighed, not wanting to touch the Bird's Nest hanging chair, and sat down directly on the ground, feeling very tired.

Over here, Shen Yanming moved his aching body, waking up Nuannuan in his arms.

She asked in her sweet, childlike voice, "Daddy?"

Shen Yanming lowered his voice: "Dad needs to go to the toilet. Are you going to stay here or come with Dad?"

Although the reason was lame and unsuitable for taking his daughter, he still hoped her answer would be "Go!"

Sure enough, Nuannuan nodded her little head and tugged hard at Shen Yanming's clothes: "Go, let's go together, Daddy, don't leave me behind!"

Shen Yanming sighed, knowing that the disaster had traumatized his daughter. He could only pat her little body and say, "Daddy will never abandon you. Daddy will always be with you."

No sooner had he said this than Zhang Heping, who had been woken up by the father and daughter, said, "Old Shen, Nuannuan is still a young girl. I see you're not feeling well, so you should go by yourself. I'll look after Nuannuan."

Before Shen Yanming could speak, Nuannuan retorted, "No, I want to stay with Daddy."

Shen Yanming smiled helplessly: "Look, you see, my daughter is clingy to me. Don't worry, it's so dark, Nuannuan can't see anything. Just have her stand a little further away, as long as she can hear me."

"How about I stay with Nuannuan?" Zhang Heping said, getting up as he spoke, still worried.

Shen Yanming quickly stopped him: "No need, no need. You're tired today too, go and rest. Nuannuan and I will be back after taking care of some personal matters, it won't take long. Um... don't worry if we're not back for a while, I caught a chill today and might be constipated."

Zhang Heping: "...Catching a cold usually causes diarrhea, so why would it cause constipation?"

Shen Yanming: "...Why do you care so much? If I don't have toilet paper after I poop, can't I go to the beach to wash up?"

Zhang Heping: "..." He shut his mouth and trembled.

The people nearby, who had been woken up by the noise, pursed their lips and suppressed a laugh.

"Alright, alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Go to sleep. I'll be back after I clean up." Shen Yanming felt utterly humiliated. What could he do? He had to find a way to enter the spatial dimension.

"Oh, go ahead, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep!" Zhang Heping closed his eyes after being rebuffed like that, without even moving an inch.

Shen Yanming picked up Nuannuan and walked towards the sea. He walked very slowly, stopping every now and then to check if anyone was following.

Confirming that no one was following him, Shen Yanming followed his memory from the daytime and turned into a small grove of trees. He crouched in the bushes and waited for a while, and only when he saw that everything was quiet did he slip into his spatial dimension.

Nuannuan remained curious throughout, but obediently kept quiet. Only after entering the "dream" and seeing her mother and brother did she scream, "Ah!!!" and burst into tears.

She felt so wronged, so wronged, thinking her mother and brother didn't want her and her father anymore. Today was so scary, that water almost drowned her.

Seeing her daughter crying, Bi Qiaoan felt extremely distressed and came over to hug and kiss her. Even An'an wiped away her tears.

Shen Yanming hugged the mother and her two children tightly, his face filled with lingering fear: "If I had known it would be this dangerous, I should have sent you into my spatial dimension as soon as I learned of the disaster. I could have left you all outside to face it alone."

Bi Qiaoan didn't blame him. Instead, she comforted him, "If that were the case, wouldn't people have noticed something? Things are so chaotic right now, it's better to be careful."

Shen Yanming put An'an and Nuannuan down and stroked Bi Qiao'an's cheek with his fingertips: "You've suffered. Are you hurt anywhere?"

Bi Qiaoan shook her head, wanting to say no, but Shen Yanming took action directly, tearing off her top in front of her son and daughter.

"Shen Yanming, what are you doing? An'an and Nuannuan are still here!" Bi Qiaoan roared.

An'an and Nuan Nuan didn't know what had happened and just stared blankly at the couple.

Old Shen then realized that he had been so anxious that he had forgotten the occasion. So he quickly said to his two children, "You two turn around and don't look. Daddy is checking Mommy's wound."

"Oh!" The two children turned their heads, then whispered something to each other, their heads close together.

Shen Yanming looked at Bi Qiaoan: "Now that's settled, can you take off your clothes?"
