Chapter 92092 I'm in charge of everything
Chapter 92
Mu Ying trotted closely beside Yi'er, her eyes fixed on the reckless green-shelled crab, ready to step on it before it could clamp onto the little prince.
Seeing the chaotic scene of the young prince, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Qi Jingyan held his forehead and shook his head, but the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
Meng Yuning knew that with Mu Ying by her side, nothing would go wrong.
But when she saw the delicate little ball dragging a big iron spoon in one hand and tightly holding the crab rope in the other, running towards her with its short legs in panic, shouting "Aning, help me", her heart immediately softened.
She laughed heartily, climbed up from the beach, and ran towards him: "Don't be afraid, Yi'er, An Ning is here."
One ran this way, the other ran that way, and the two soon met up.
Yi'er threw herself onto Aning's legs, raised her little face, and her eyes, like black grapes, were filled with anxiety. She stood on tiptoe and stretched out her little arms to reach up: "Aning, hold me, hold me!"
Seeing that the big crab was about to crawl to her feet, Meng Yuning was quick to pull the straw rope out of Yi'er's little hand and threw it far away. Then she picked up the chubby little baby, turned around and ran away.
She deliberately choked her voice, feigning fear: "Oh no! The crab monster is coming! Run!"
Yi'er was originally feeling nervous, but after being teased by Aning, he couldn't help but giggle.
Qi Jingyan and others also burst into laughter.
Seeing the little guy smile, Meng Yuning stopped and they both looked at the crab. It turned a corner, and its eight legs paddled quickly, dragging the hemp rope with a rustling sound as it ran straight to the beach.
Yi'er suddenly became anxious, leaned forward, and pointed with his chubby fingers: "It's gone! The crab has gone away!"
"Don't worry, let's go catch it!" Meng Yuning responded with a smile, and put him down neatly. The two of them ran after him, one in front and one behind. Seeing that Yi'er was dragging the big iron spoon and it was really getting in the way, Meng Yuning took it over.
Without the burden of the spoon, Yier immediately ran as fast as a happy deer.
After a while, he caught up with the piece of hemp rope dragging on the ground. He suddenly squatted down to grab it, but missed. The crab was very smart and suddenly jumped forward again.
Yi'er was not discouraged. He stood up and tried his best to chase the rope again. This time he was smarter. He first jogged past the rope, then turned around and squatted. When the opportunity came, he grabbed the rope quickly and accurately with his little hand and held it firmly in his palm.
The crab refused to give up and continued struggling towards the sea. Yi'er pulled it hard, giggling with excitement. He raised his little face and looked at Meng Yuning proudly: "A Ning, look, Yi'er caught it. Yi'er is so awesome!"
Meng Yuning immediately clapped her hands vigorously, her eyes curved as she praised loudly, "Wow~, our Yi'er is amazing!"
Yier laughed so hard at the praise that he suddenly blinked his big, bright eyes, turned his head and quietly looked in his brother's direction, and said mysteriously in a stingy voice: "Yier is going to scare my brother!"
Meng Yuning looked at his mischievous little appearance and couldn't help laughing. She gave him a thumbs up and said in a low voice, "Go!"
Yi'er held the hemp rope tightly, dragging the big crab that was crawling towards him with its claws and fangs bared again, and ran towards Qi Jingyan with a clattering sound.
When he ran close to his brother and saw that both of his feet were buried in the fine sand, Yi'er immediately showed a sly smile on his little face.
He led the crab and circled around his calm brother twice, then loosened his grip, threw the knot onto the sand, turned around and ran away.
He ran back to Meng Yuning in one breath and threw himself into her arms. Then he turned his head, opened his round eyes, and looked at his brother excitedly and nervously, waiting for the big crab to crawl towards him and scare him to jump.
Unexpectedly, the big crab that had been chasing Yi'er relentlessly and aggressively just now turned out to be a bully who was afraid of the big. When it was pulled by the rope and was less than a step away from Qi Jingyan's feet, it looked like dead. Not only did its eight claws curl up, but even its terrifying claws were retracted, and it lay motionless on the sand.
Yi'er raised her little face, full of confusion: "A Ning, why doesn't the big crab go after brother?"
Meng Yuning was also stumped by the question. She couldn't help but bend down and squeeze his little hand, "Yier, guess what."
The little fellow tilted his head and thought carefully. Suddenly, he remembered his brother's stern face when he taught him to read. He immediately stood on tiptoe, leaned close to An Ning's ear, and whispered in a low voice, "Brother is so scary!"
Meng Yuning had never seen Qi Jingyan look stern in front of her, but thinking of his intimidating presence, she nodded in agreement: "Yes, brother can be scary sometimes."
Qi Jingyan stood where he was, and saw two heads, one big and one small, huddled together not far away, whispering to each other and secretly glancing at him from time to time. He knew in his heart that these two people must be making up stories about him again.
He couldn't help but chuckle. He bent down and gently untied the hemp rope around his legs. Then he picked up the crab that had stopped eating and walked towards them. He found an excuse to talk to them, "A Ning, this crab looks quite fresh. How about steaming it at noon?"
Meng Yuning held Yi'er and sat on the beach. She deliberately turned her eyes away from him and looked at Yi'er instead: "This crab belongs to Yi'er. You have to ask Yi'er."
When Yi'er heard this, he immediately got out of An Ning's arms and waved his little hands, "No, no, you can't steam it. Yi'er wants to keep it and play with it."
Qi Jingyan reached out to return it to him, but when he glanced at Meng Yuning, who was sitting on the ground, digging sand with a spoon, his mind shifted slightly, and he suddenly withdrew his hand halfway through. "It's just a crab, what's the point of raising it? I'll give it to Mu Shan to steam later."
"No, you can't steam it!" Yi'er was so angry that she jumped up and down, desperately stretching her little hands to grab her brother's arm, "Bad brother, give it back to Yi'er!"
But Qi Jingyan was too tall and Yier was too short. He jumped on tiptoe for a long time, but his little hands couldn't reach his brother's hands. He was so angry that his little face puffed up like a bun.
He turned around and threw himself into Meng Yuning's arms, asking her for help aggrievedly: "Aning, Aning, please help Yi'er!"
Yi'er has always been a very sensible child and never acts unreasonably. Qi Jingyan treats Yi'er like an adult and discusses everything with her.
Meng Yuning really couldn't understand what was wrong with Qi Jingyan today, why he had to tease the child like this.
She threw the big iron spoon away, stood up from the beach swiftly, reached out and snatched the crab from Qi Jingyan's hand, and pretended to step on his foot lightly and glared at him: "Why can't we raise these crabs? Our Yi'er can raise them if he wants to. How does it bother you?"
Yi'er tilted his little head and saw his brother being scolded by An Ning without saying a word. He immediately clapped his hands and giggled, looking at An Ning with bright eyes full of admiration.
Meng Yuning bent down and placed the now quite peaceful crab on the sand. She handed the rope to Yi'er and said softly, "Okay, take it and play with it."
"Thank you, Aning!" Yier happily took the rope, took his new playmate's lead, and ran away happily.
Meng Yuning sat back on the beach and couldn't help laughing when she saw Yi'er running around shouting.
Qi Jingyan stood quietly beside her for a moment, then lifted his skirt and sat down next to her naturally.
He picked up the iron spoon she had thrown aside and continued digging in the small sand pit she had just dug halfway. After a while, he dug out a big pit.
Meng Yuning had originally decided to ignore him all day, but it was hard to imagine that someone like him would sit on the ground and dig sand. In the end, she couldn't help it and quietly turned her head to look at him.
At this moment, Qi Jingyan also looked up at her with a smile: "It's quite interesting. How did An Ning come up with this trick?"
She had specially prepared a shovel and an iron spoon from her house in advance, and it was obvious that she had played like this before.
Dazzled by his brilliant smile, Meng Yuning momentarily forgot she was still quarreling with him and blurted out, "Your Highness, when you were a child, didn't you play digging in the sand and soil?"
Qi Jingyan shook his head: "No, these kinds of games are against the rules in the palace."
Meng Yuning looked at him sympathetically: "Your Highness is quite pitiful."
Qi Jingyan smiled softly: "Yes."
Meng Yuning immediately stood up, took the shovel that was thrown not far away, stuffed it into his hand, and said seriously: "In that case, Your Highness, have fun by yourself. I will go with Yi'er."
After saying that, he turned around and ran to Yi'er, and followed him to play a game of chase with the big crab.
Qi Jingyan was thrown to the spot. He looked down at the iron spoon in his right hand, then weighed the iron shovel in his left hand, and then looked up at the two figures, one big and one small, chasing each other happily. Finally, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing softly.

Meng Yuning and Qi Jingyan had a unilateral cold war for half a day, and then gave up, because this man was always gentle and polite and spoke to her in a gentle manner, which made her feel like punching cotton, which was boring.
So during dinner, when Qi Jingyan naturally fed the peeled crab meat to her mouth, she opened her mouth and ate it.
After feeding each other a few times, the two of them got along as smoothly as usual.
Seeing that Aning was no longer angry with her brother, Yier finally felt relieved.
But after thinking about it, he still felt that he had to talk things over with his brother, so while An Ning was riding horses with Mu Ying and the others at the beach, the little guy went to find Qi Jingyan.
He walked up to Qi Jingyan with his short legs and steady steps. He tried to straighten his back, put his hands behind his back, raised his childish face high, and said clearly word by word with a stern face: "Brother, you must not scare An Ning again from now on."
Qi Jingyan looked down at the little person in front of him who was not even as tall as his legs. He was clearly a little kid, but he insisted on imitating an adult to lecture him. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
Seeing that he was still laughing, Yi'er frowned and said in a more serious tone, "Brother, Yi'er is trying to reason with you."
Qi Jingyan quickly suppressed his smile and nodded sternly, saying, "Okay, brother, I'll remember this. I'll never scare An Ning again."
Yier then nodded her head in satisfaction, still with her hands behind her back, and turned around and walked away slowly.
Qi Jingyan looked at the small figure and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
After dinner, everyone sat around the campfire, waiting for the sunset.
When the sky was filled with rosy clouds, everyone was shocked by the magnificence of the world and fell silent for a moment.
Until the crimson sunset completely sank into the horizon, Meng Yuning gently hugged Yi'er in her arms and sighed sincerely: "It's so good to be alive."
Meng Yuning was looking at the sky, while Qi Jingyan had been looking at her profile. Upon hearing this, he raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of her head, whispering in agreement: "Well, it's great to be alive."
Meng Yuning turned to look at him, her moist eyes surprisingly bright in the twilight: "Your Highness, do you really think so?"
Qi Jingyan nodded slightly: "Yes."
Meng Yuning's eyebrows curved instantly, and she raised her right hand high towards him with a bright smile: "Your Highness, it's settled then, we all have to live well!"
Qi Jingyan stretched out his right hand and lightly high-fived her: "Okay." Then he did not retract it, but took her hand and squeezed it slightly.
Before Meng Yuning could react, Yi'er got anxious and stood up from An Ning's arms. He forcefully pried his brother's hands apart and solemnly hit An Ning with his own small palm. He raised his little face and said seriously, "An Ning, Yi'er also wants to live well."
Looking at the cute and serious look of the little baby, Meng Yuning felt her heart soften.
She smiled and hugged the little guy tightly in her arms, kissing his soft little face: "Okay, we all have to live well and live long."

Over the past few days, everyone has been riding horses on the waves, fishing in the water, digging sand to build a city, catching crabs and shellfish, and even collecting a lot of kelp and seaweed...
Time passed so quickly that they didn't notice. Before they knew it, they had already stayed at the beach for four nights.
Everyone had basked in the sun and felt the sea breeze, and even they were a little tired of eating crabs.
After nightfall on the fifth day, Qi Jingyan asked Meng Yuning for her opinion, and then ordered everyone to pack up the camp and return home.
For some reason, Qi Jingyan changed into the dark suit he wore when he came. When he got on the car, he was holding a knife in his hand. After sitting down, he placed the knife upright on the side of the seat, within reach.
Meng Yuning held Yi'er, who was drowsy in her arms, and could not help but move closer. She lowered her voice and asked curiously, "Your Highness, you look like you are going to rob someone when you are dressed like this."
Qi Jingyan's expression remained calm, but a rare hint of seriousness crept into his tone: "On the way back, we might run into some irrelevant people. But don't worry, An Ning. Just stay in the car with Yi'er. I'll take care of everything."
