An awkward silence fell over the scene.

"..."

After a while, the staff member seemed to wake from a dream and picked up the walkie-talkie: "No, no need to call a doctor..."

Netizens then realized that it might have been a misunderstanding.

But everyone witnessed Jiang Chi's loss of composure.

[I'm so sad, I'm crying so much about this brother and sister!]

Honestly, this is the first time I've seen Brother Chi so vulnerable and grief-stricken...it startled me.

[Director, director, did you see that?! Quickly hand my brother a script for a devoted second male lead! Lead role is fine too! He has potential!]

At this moment, Chaochao finally noticed Jiang Chi's unusually pale face, and worry filled her clear eyes:

"Brother, what's wrong? Are you hungry?"

She tilted her head, lifted the thin blanket, and prepared to get out of bed.

"I've already brushed my teeth, so you can eat now!"

Jiang Chi, now fully recovered, gently held the little girl's soft arm, his chin lightly resting on her head, still shaken.

"That really scared me to death."

Thankfully it was a false alarm.

He originally wanted to tell the little boy not to eat in bed anymore, but when the long lecture came to his lips, he could only utter, "You scared him to death."

Chaochao patted Jiang Chi's arm as if she felt the same way and nodded in agreement: "I was scared to death too."

"Such a young age, why are you saying such unlucky things?"

Jiang Chi had completely recovered from his panic. He lifted the little dumpling off the bed and said, "Wash your face first, then have breakfast."

After finishing breakfast and cleaning up the mess on the bed, Jiang Chi took the little dumpling out to meet the other guests.

Azure waves crashed against the rocks, white sprays of water shimmered like tiny silver fragments, and a refreshing sea breeze caressed everyone's face.

On the beach, almost all the children's eyes were drawn to the magnificent scenery.

Ah! The sea! My home!

Leo let out an excited shout, dropped Teng Yi's hand, and ran off towards the beach.

It was the first time Chaochao had ever seen the sea up close, and she was immediately captivated and couldn't move.

Although she stayed in a sea-view room, she spent most of the day sitting on the doorstep, gazing at the sea in the distance.

Jiang Chi led the little girl forward, only to find that her hand was still in his, but her feet were still rooted to the spot half a meter away. "..."

The little dumpling gazed intently at the vast ocean, its clear almond-shaped eyes faintly reflecting the surging waves, looking dazed as if it had fallen into a beautiful and dreamlike dream.

It was Leo's frantic shouts that finally woke her up, and Chaochao blinked blankly.

Flames flared up in his eyes with incredible speed, and the next second he swung his short arms and launched himself out like a cannonball, yelling, "Ahhh, the ocean!"

I'm here! I'm here!! Chaochao is here!

"..." Jiang Chi had no choice but to hurry up and catch up, his handsome face showing helplessness: "Sigh, you're too slow—"

Before the words "Slow down" could be finished, the little dumpling in sight fell flat on its face on the beach.

The little crab that was passing by struggled to flip itself over and used all eight legs to quickly escape the scene, darting into the rocks. Its devilish gait seemed to say, "It's not my fault, she fell down on her own."

At that time, Chaochao had already skillfully pushed herself up to stand up, and looked back at her with great confusion.

There were no stones, so how did she fall?

Like a little dumpling half-dipped in sauce, completely bewildered, Jiang Chi lowered his eyes and sighed.

He brushed the sand off her, picked up Chaochao, and walked slowly towards the meeting point, stopping the little dumpling who wanted to walk on her own with just one sentence:

"By standing taller, you can see farther."

However, this is the seaside, and no matter how high you stand, you can still only see the boundless sea.

Therefore, it can only fool children under four years old who have not yet started kindergarten.

Chaochao blinked her innocent eyes: "When will I be as tall as my brother?"

Jiang Chi was speechless, "..."

Chaochao: "If I eat an extra bowl of rice every day, will I grow faster?"

This time, Jiang Chi refused without hesitation: "No, you've already eaten enough."

Chaochao, who failed to beg for food: "QAQ".

Jiang Chi put Chaochao down after they arrived at their destination.

The adults remained relatively calm, while the children immediately gathered together excitedly. Except for Changchang, who was still a little listless, he was quickly infected by the happy mood of his friends and gradually began to smile.

Director Zou, holding his signature megaphone, spoke in a kind tone: "Good morning, dads, brothers, and kids... It's low tide now, and there are many treasures hidden in the sand beneath our feet... Next, we're going to do a very fun activity: beachcombing."

"The production team has invited an experienced beachcomber; you can ask him any questions you may have."

Beachcombing!!!

That sounds like so much fun!!!

As soon as Director Zou finished speaking, he felt as if he had been pierced by a dozen blazing torches shooting upwards from below. "..."

"My, my, my!"

"Is this for me?!"

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Once the children received their beachcombing tools, they immediately ran off and disappeared. The fathers followed closely behind, but not entirely helpless, since Teng Yi and Hao Guoli themselves were having quite a bit of fun.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Director Zou, now acting as a beach safety officer, grabbed a megaphone and roared at the top of his lungs: "Dads and kids, don't go too far! Stay within this area! And be careful! Don't go playing in the sea!!!"
