Of course Bi Qiaoan knew that as long as there was no major conflict, Shen Yanming would be fine even if someone else got into trouble.
She glanced at the sky and nodded: "Be careful."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "I estimate I'll be back quite late. You and the child should go back first."
"Okay, try to be there as soon as possible." Otherwise, she'll worry.
Shen Yanming patted the two children's heads, told them to be good, and then walked away into the distance.
That place doesn't seem far, but that's only how it seems. It would take Shen Yanming at least several hours to walk there, wouldn't it?
Bi Qiaoan thought this to herself, but said nothing. She knew he was going to gather information, and there was nothing she could do to stop him.
"Honey, is the sand fun?" Bi Qiaoan asked with a smile, glancing at her two carefree children.
An An Nuan Nuan raised her head and gave a sweet smile: "It's fun!" Then she lowered her head again and focused on shoveling sand.
Upon seeing this, Bi Qiaoan used her consciousness to draw out a piece of land of about five square meters in space, surrounded it with grass, and reached in to secretly pass sand through.
Since the children liked it, she created an artificial beach for them in her space so they could go and play there occasionally.
Bi Qiaoan circled around, putting a lot of sand into the space. She looked up into the distance, but Shen Yanming's figure had completely disappeared from sight.
After playing for a while, the two children got bored and came over to hug Bi Qiaoan, calling out, "Mommy~"
Bi Qiaoan gently embraced them, sat on the beach, watched the setting sun, and felt the cool sea breeze.
An'an and Nuannuan glanced around and, seeing no one was around, whispered in Bi Qiao'an's ear, "Mommy, I want some water."
“Okay.” Bi Qiaoan took off her backpack, reached inside, and pulled out two baby bottles: “Drink.”
It was filled with freshly poured spring water. After the two children finished drinking it, they said with a grin, "We want to eat fruit."
"I want to eat candy."
Bi Qiaoan... "There's only fruit, no candy!"
She used her consciousness to retrieve two strawberries from her spatial storage, covered them with her hand, and fed them to her two children. After they finished eating, she used a tissue to wipe their mouths clean.
The sky had darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the azure sea. The sea breeze blew, creating ripples that spread out in circles, creating a tranquil scene, like an oil painting.
Bi Qiaoan was deeply impressed. If she didn't know what the ocean looked like before the apocalypse, she would definitely have been deceived by this tranquil and beautiful illusion.
However, she still took out her phone and snapped a few photos of the distance. Things have changed here now; who knows what the future holds? She wanted to capture these beautiful scenes while she still had the time.
Seeing this, An'an and Nuan'nuan also stood up to let their mother take pictures. Bi Qiao'an smiled and had them pose in various ways, taking quite a few photos. It wasn't until dark that they walked back, each holding one of their hands.
"Mommy, where's Daddy?" The two children were a little worried when they didn't see Shen Yanming.
"Dad has something to do and doesn't know when he'll be back. Shall the three of us go home first?"
An'an and Nuannuan nodded their little heads obediently and followed Bi Qiaoan's footsteps back to the house they had previously rented.
"You're back! I was just about to go look for you," said Yan Qiumin, the hostess of the room, with a smile. "Where's your husband? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"He went out to see a friend, he'll be back in a bit."
Yan Qiumin nodded. "Come and eat, I've been ready for a while now."
Bi Qiaoan looked surprised: "You even prepared dinner for us?"
"Yes, otherwise how could we let you go hungry?" Yan Qiumin said matter-of-factly.
Bi Qiaoan was very grateful: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Eat up, or it'll get cold," Yan Qiumin said with a smile.
Looking at the food on the table, An'an and Nuannuan drooled and said sweetly, "Thank you, Auntie!"
Yan Qiumin adored the two chubby little babies, bending down to gently pinch their cheeks: "You're welcome. Would you like Auntie to steam an egg for you?"
An An Nuan Nuan didn't answer directly. She glanced at Bi Qiao An, and seeing her nod slightly, she smiled and said, "Auntie, you're so kind. Thank you!"
Yan Qiumin was delighted by the two children's praise, smiled and kissed them both before going to prepare the steamed eggs.
Of course, Bi Qiaoan couldn't let them suffer a loss, so she left the two children inside while she went to the car at the door and took out a bag of rice, weighing a full ten pounds.
Delivering it to the kitchen, she said, "Sister Yan, thank you for your hospitality tonight. Please use this to make a meal for your family."
Yan Qiumin was taken aback, thinking it was wild vegetables or mushrooms, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be rice.
Her smile widened, her eyes glued to the rice bag, yet she felt too embarrassed to accept it.
Seeing this, Bi Qiaoan put it in the kitchen and went back to her room to eat. However, before she had finished eating, Sister Yan brought over a bowl of steamed egg: "The steamed egg will take a while, you can have this for now."
"Sister, this is too much, please don't be so polite," Bi Qiaoan said.
Yan Qiumin smiled and said, "No way, you gave me so much food, how could I not let you eat well?"
Bi Qiaoan was grateful and thanked them before sharing the steamed eggs with her two children. After the steamed eggs were served, the three of them patted their tummy, indicating they couldn't eat anymore.
However, they didn't waste any time. After locking the door, Bi Qiaoan took out a lunchbox from her bag, poured in the steamed eggs, and then stored it in her space, preparing to take it out to eat tomorrow.
Bi Qiaoan took the bowl back to the kitchen, thinking that Sister Yan's enthusiasm had ended there. But around nine o'clock in the evening, Yan Qiumin brought over another bowl of seafood porridge: "Your husband hasn't come back yet, so he'll have something to eat when he gets back."
After saying that, he left.
Bi Qiaoan smiled, stirred it with a spoon, and found that there was quite a lot of dried ingredients inside. There were not only shrimp, but also squid, sea cucumber, and clams, showing that the person had really put their heart into making it.
Bi Qiaoan had a good impression of Yan Qiumin because Yan Qiumin took care of everything for them without asking for payment, which made her feel that she was being treated with care.
So at this moment, Bi Qiaoan used her consciousness to search the space, wanting to give Sister Yan a gift before leaving.
But no matter how she looked, she felt that everything was too conspicuous. After thinking about it, she decided to just send the seeds instead.
A packet of high-quality grain seeds, cultivated in a special space, contained a few seeds imbued with spiritual energy. Bi Qiaoan felt that if these seeds were ever planted, they would surely bring a pleasant surprise to Sister Yan.
At this moment, Yan Qiumin had no idea how much survival security her accidental act of kindness would bring her in the future. When barren land could hardly grow plants, only those transformed by spiritual energy could shoulder the heavy responsibility of continuing the life of the race.
At this moment, Bi Qiaoan was also unaware of what the future held. She put the seeds aside, got up, and locked the door. She took off her two children's clothes, changed them into pajamas, wiped their hands and feet clean with a damp towel, and then carried them back to bed.
As for Shen Yanming? Heh, we'll talk about him when he gets back.
