Chapter 67 is a little smaller than before.
Ji Zhi Qiu took his three children to the beach and couldn't help but nag, "The sea is sometimes gentle and sometimes violent. You must listen to your father and not run or jump around. You must never go into the sea alone."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ji Yanyan's eyes light up, and she kept rushing forward. Just as Ji Zhi Qiu was about to yell at her to come back, he saw Ji Yanyan stop steadily on the beach, turn around and give him a playful smile.
Ji Zhi Qiu knew that Ji Yan Yan was joking with him, so he didn't take it to heart.
But the next second, a gentle wave suddenly surged in and knocked Ji Yanyan down.
Ji Yanyan sat on the ground, staring blankly ahead, her face wet with salty seawater.
Ji Sicheng scoffed, wanting to see Ji Yanyan make a fool of herself, but he underestimated Long Aotian's shamelessness.
Ji Yanyan didn't cry or make a fuss. Instead, she slowly reached out and hugged her tiny self, her face full of delight: "Even the sea likes Yanyan so much that it couldn't wait to hug me."
Ji Zhi Qiu: "..."
Ji Sicheng: "..."
The father and son turned their heads in tacit agreement, one looking to the left and the other to the right, trying to distance themselves from Ji Yanyan.
Lu Yu Nian smiled, stepped forward and helped him up. After Ji Yan Yan stood firmly, she politely thanked Lu Yu Nian.
Ji Zhi Qiu habitually settled the three children, "Yan Yan, be a good girl and hold onto Daddy's leg. Si Cheng, go walk and jump around and get close to nature. Don't hide in the corner to read. Zi Shen, do whatever you want. Remember to have fun."
Lu Yu Nian suddenly interjected, "And what about you?"
Ji Zhi Qiu paused for a moment, then pointed to her own nose: "Me?"
I want to swim.
He didn't say it aloud, but Lu Yunian heard his thoughts: "Go have fun, I'll look after these three kids for you."
Ji Zhi Qiu was a little embarrassed.
Lu Yu Nian joked on purpose: "Because I have no experience in taking care of children, don't you trust me?"
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Ji Zhi Qiu had a strange trust in him. "How could that be? I just feel like I'm troubling you too much."
"It's okay, just treat it as my job. Remember to give me a raise later."
Ji Zhi Qiu knew this was a joke and was about to retort when Ji Si Cheng suddenly poked his head out and said, "No, you're still in your internship, you can't get a raise!"
"..." Ji Zhi Qiu couldn't help but pinch Ji Si Cheng's cheek. "Take it easy. You're more suited to be a boss than I am."
The viewers in the live stream were reminded of long-forgotten memories and couldn't help but shudder.
[Sicheng, don't be like my pig-headed boss at such a young age!]
[Ugh, such a strong smell of capitalist exploitation.]
[I can't take it anymore, Sicheng, how could you be so evil?]
If this is congenital, it's truly terrifying...
Ji Sicheng didn't hear what everyone was thinking and was still making his own plans. His expression was captured by the angry uncles and aunts and turned into various memes.
Ji Zhi Qiu was still hesitating when Ji Yan Yan gently patted his leg. "Daddy is also a baby who is only a few hundred months old. Babies need to play. Yan Yan understands. Daddy, have fun!"
Ji Zishen crossed his arms and said in a grown-up tone, "Alright, don't I know you? Don't worry, I'll take good care of these two younger brothers."
After he finished speaking, he sighed deeply, looking as if he had been working himself to the bone for his family.
Ji Zhi Qiu stared blankly at the four of them, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
Since that's the case, he won't stand on ceremony!
He readily threw off his shirt and pants and plunged into the sea.
[Shocking! Popular male star strips naked in front of millions of fans during a live stream.]
Wow, Qiuqiu has such a great figure, she even has abs!
[There's no sign of him working out at all; I suspect his abs are from laughing, considering how thin and white his legs are. *doge emoji*]
[Am I just imagining things? It looks like a family of five.]
Indeed, Lu Yu-nian has such a strong "good family man" vibe; who's the father of the child anyway?!
Although Lu Yu Nian lacked experience in interacting with children, he was exceptionally gifted and took excellent care of the three children.
Ji Zishen felt drowsy under the sun, and Lu Yunian noticed it immediately. He found a suitable spot, opened a parasol, and made it easier for Ji Zishen to rest.
Ji Sicheng pretended to be well-behaved for a while, then furtively looked around, wanting to find a corner to hide in. Lu Yunian directly used his trump card, and with a few unintentional words, he successfully encouraged Ji Yanyan to have a water fight with her brother.
Although Ji Sicheng verbally disdained playing such childish games, he had a strong competitive spirit and couldn't help but retaliate after being provoked by Ji Yanyan.
Ji Yanyan was full of energy, but short in stature. Ji Sicheng was three years older than him. The two were evenly matched and both got soaked to the bone.
At first, their laughter echoed across the entire sea, but then it gradually quieted down.
The child is being quiet; he must be up to no good.
They looked at Ji Zishen sleeping under the parasol, exchanged a silent glance, reached a tacit understanding, tiptoed over, grabbed some sand from the side and placed it on their brother's lap.
Ji Zishen was fast asleep and didn't notice at first. The two little figures' eyes brightened, and their hands didn't stop moving, trying to bury Ji Zishen before he woke up.
Lu Yunian still remembered his promise to Ji Zhiqi. Even though the three children didn't need his care, he still stood by the shallow water to prevent them from rushing into the sea.
Ji Zhi Qiu, who had been swimming, saw this and waved to Lu Yu Nian, signaling him to come over.
Lu Yunian nodded and took a few steps into the sea. The seawater was just over his waist, but when he looked around, he could only see the churning sea and could not see Ji Zhi Qiu anywhere.
Lu Yunian frowned slightly, and just as he was about to search, he suddenly felt his ankle being grabbed from beneath the sea.
The old father of the Abstract House also had a playful streak. He suddenly wanted to play hide-and-seek to scare Lu Yu Nian, so he mischievously dived into the sea and silently grabbed Lu Yu Nian's ankle when he got close.
Glug glug, a beautiful ghost beneath the sea.
That's terrifying.
Across the shimmering sea, he couldn't see Lu Yu Nian's face clearly, but he felt that they were getting closer and closer. The next second, a warm hand grasped his shoulder and gently pulled him towards the sea.
Ji Zhi Qiu simply followed the force and used the buoyancy of the seawater to easily stick his head out.
He shook his head like a big dog, wiped the seawater off his face, and winked at Lu Yu Nian: "Scared now?"
Perhaps because she had been in the sea for too long, Ji Zhi Qiu's eyes were exceptionally bright, as if they had been soaked in water. Her whole body was agile and her posture was relaxed, like a mermaid breaking out of the water. Water droplets fell from her cheeks and hair, as clear and sparkling as broken diamonds.
Lu Yunian looked down at Ji Zhi Qiu, his dark eyes reflecting his current appearance. He uncontrollably increased the force in his hand and pulled the man up.
Caught off guard, and with the sand softened by the sea, Ji Zhi Qiu lost his balance and unconsciously grabbed the nearest thing.
He straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken. He looked at Lu Yu Nian and was caught off guard by his dark eyes.
Hmm, his joke went too far; Lu Yunian seems angry.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Ji Zhi Qiu stood up obediently and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, you..."
So soft.
Ji Zhi Qiu was stunned, not understanding the sensation under his hand. He looked over and realized that when he lost his balance, he had unintentionally grabbed Lu Yu Nian's pectoral muscle.
He recoiled as if electrocuted, and gave an awkward laugh. "Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Lu Yu Nian regained his composure and chuckled, "It's alright, you don't need to worry about it."
This wasn't just polite talk from an adult trying to cover things up. Lu Yu Nian's tone and expression showed that he genuinely didn't care and was very generous. If Ji Zhi Qiu suggested pinching him again on the spot, Lu Yu Nian would agree gently.
Male Bodhisattva!
Ji Zhi Qiu stared blankly at Lu Yu Nian, almost bewitched, but the approaching camera brought him back to his senses.
"..." What's wrong with the production team? If all else fails, they should just stick in the middle and make it a trio.
Sensing Ji Zhi Qiu's death stare, the photographer quietly retreated to his original position. There was also movement on the beach. It seemed that Ji Zi Shen had woken up and found himself buried in the sand by his two naughty younger brothers, and was throwing a tantrum.
Lu Yu Nian exuded the aura of a doting father, naturally walking towards the shore, leaving Ji Zhi Qiu, his biological father, behind.
Ji Zhi Qiu's hand moved unconsciously as she savored the feeling from just now.
It seems a little smaller than before...
He stared blankly at the sky, feeling as if half of his memory was missing, a strong sense of incongruity.
before?
Which "before"?
