Arriving at the seaside, the most interesting thing to do naturally is catch clams. We’ve caught the tide just right, so there are plenty of seafood creatures to be found in the mudflats. When the kids heard they could pick up starfish, crabs, and cat’s eye snails, they immediately became excited.

“I want to come too, I can help!” Seeing the adults already preparing their clamming gear, Yi Yangyang hurriedly jumped over, enthusiastically grabbing a small plastic bucket. “I’m sure I can catch a super big crab!”

Yin Qinya, helped by her dad to put on her gloves, heard him and couldn’t help but snort disdainfully. “Yi Yangyang, you’re just bragging. I don’t believe you.”

Before, she definitely wouldn’t have wanted to play in the mudflats. But having had the experience of firing ceramics before, Yin Qinya seemed to have developed some interest and was no longer so averse to getting dirty in the mud.

Especially when she heard that they could also go find shells and pick up seafood, it sounded very interesting to her, and she was immediately intrigued.

Of course, following Sheng Xia’s suggestion, she deliberately changed into her least favorite dress, which was the princess’s final stubbornness.

Yi Yangyang wasn’t angry, just made a face at her and promised confidently, patting his chest, “Just wait, I’ll be in charge of dinner tonight!”

Seeing his brother’s confident look, Yi Fanfan also smiled and slowly clapped his hands in agreement, “Dinner is on us, brother is amazing!”

Tao Rou and Yi Ting glanced at each other, couldn’t help but laugh and be annoyed, lightly tapping their son’s head with a finger. “Do you know how to catch crabs? You’re talking big here.”

Yi Ting joked, “It’s okay, if we don’t catch enough, we’ll let Yangyang make up for it.”

“You guys are underestimating kids, I won’t talk to you.” Yi Yangyang made a face at them, grabbed a small bucket, and joined his friends. “Are you all ready? Let’s go!”

Hang Xuan is currently holding a tablet, searching for clamming knowledge, and sharing it with everyone. Not only are the kids listening attentively, but even the viewers watching the live stream are also very interested.

【Compared to the resort, the seaside is indeed more interesting. There are so many things to do, and I suddenly feel excited.】

【I’ve never been to the seaside, and my child is envious. It sounds so interesting.】

【Clamming is also a matter of luck. You might not find anything, or even end up empty-handed. I hope the kids won’t be disappointed.】

【This kind of seaside should still yield something. Anyway, we’re just here for fun. If we really can’t find anything, we’ll just hold onto Yangyang and make up for it (smirks).】

【Hahaha, Yangyang is going to jump up and hit you on the knee!】

Shi Yue was listening happily when he suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and saw his dad standing not far away, looking somewhat unhappy, as if he didn’t want to change into the clamming gear.

The curve of his smile faded a bit, a little worried, he left the group and ran to his dad. “Dad, are you not feeling well?”

Seemingly finding an excuse, Shi Yulin’s eyes flickered slightly when he heard his son’s concern. He replied in a low voice, patting his son’s head, “Maybe I’m just tired from yesterday, but I’m fine.”

He was always concerned about his image, and even if he wanted to back out, he didn’t want to show it. So he turned to Director Xu and said in a serious tone, “Since we’re supposed to get the ingredients ourselves, we don’t necessarily have to go clamming. We could rent a yacht and hire people to fish in the sea, right?”

Director Xu held back the urge to roll his eyes, speechless, and looked back at him. He suddenly regretted inviting the dads for the second time after they were all rejected by Shi Yulin the first time.

If we could rent a yacht, would we need you to think about it? Not to mention Feng Yan, I bet Sheng Xia could just drive one over. What else would we play then?

He silently reminded himself that he couldn’t afford to offend the Shi Yulin, He cleared his throat and still refused, “If Mr. Shi is not feeling well, you can go back and rest first. Miss Sheng Lanqiu and little Yueyue are here, right?”

Shi Yue nodded heavily with the small bucket in his arms, “Dad, you rest well. Mom and I will bring back enough ingredients.”

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the other dads had already changed into their gear, even Feng Yan was calmly picking up a plastic bucket. Only Shi Yulin was still among them, still wearing a smart suit, which made him stand out.

But this kind of special was not what Sheng Lanqiu wanted.

She smiled gently, approached him, and helped him tidy his tie, saying with guilt, “Sorry, Yu, you’ve been taking care of Yueyue these past few days. Let me take care of it today. You rest well and wait for us to come back, okay?”

Shi Yulin obviously knew it wasn’t right to do this, but he really didn’t want to put on that clamming gear and go picking seafood in the mudflats.

He was used to a life of luxury and also had a serious cleanliness obsession. The dirty and tiring work he did the past few days was already his limit. Now being asked to go clamming was already a stretch for him, but he barely suppressed his temper for the sake of the live stream.

So, after his wife gave him a way out, he nodded in agreement, took a deep breath, and hugged her, patting her back, “I’m sorry, it’s going to be tough for you today, Lanlan.”

Seeing that he still cared about her, Sheng Lanqiu felt more comfortable, shaking her head gently with a gentle and shy smile.

【Help, at this time, there’s no need to play out an idol drama plot…】

【Although we all joke about “parents are true love, children are accidents,” I can accept a feast, why are they so out of sync?】

【No way, comparing Feng Yan to Shi Yulin is a bit of a downgrade, isn’t it? Feng Yan is not like him at all…】

【Having a stepmother means having a stepfather as well. I can’t see that Shi Yulin cares much about Yueyue, so why is he trying to make Yueyue take care of him?】

【Who was praising their fairy-tale love story in the beginning? It seems it really was just a fairy tale. Once reality sets in, sigh.】

【In my opinion, Yueyue is really unlucky to be with them. Since the Shi family is unreliable, can’t they find Yueyue’s biological mother? Does anyone know where Yueyue’s biological mother is?】

This is supposed to be a parenting variety show, and of course, the audience cares most about the kids, especially feeling sorry for Shi Yue, who is forced to be mature and sensible, naturally leading to dissatisfaction with Sheng Lanqiu and Shi Yulin.

However, their dissatisfaction in the barrage had no effect on them at the moment.

So, after Shi Yulin voluntarily left the group, the others set off for the beach.

This time, the twins did not follow Feng Jingxu, but instead looked at each other, ran to Shi Yue’s side, and each held one of his hands, smiling broadly, “Brother Yueyue, let’s be a team later.”

“Why is it like this? We were actually beaten by Chenchen and Ranran.” Yin Qinya stomped her foot in annoyance. “That line should have been mine!”

Yi Yangyang ran over and loudly promised, patting his chest, “Yueyue, don’t worry. I’ll give you everything I find, and no one else.”

Yin Qinya snorted disdainfully, “Just you? Just now you promised to take care of everyone’s ingredients. If you can’t do it, are you worried that Aunt Tao Rou will throw you somewhere?”

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Hang Xuan skillfully separated them and calmly said, “Can’t we children just be in a team together? Why do we have to argue about who teams up with whom?”

“Adults pick with adults, children pick with children,” Feng Xuran nodded coolly and suggested, “We can also compete with them.”

Feng Xuchen shook Shi Yue’s hand and said gleefully, “Anyway, we got there first, right, Brother Yueyue?”

Shi Yue was taken aback, then looked at his other friends smiling at him, and couldn’t help but smile awkwardly as well.

He was actually used to his dad being busy and distant, and didn’t think there was anything wrong with his dad leaving now. But seeing his friends clearly caring about him and coming over, Shi Yue’s usually calm and clear black eyes became bright and clear, and he couldn’t help but feel excited.

【Sob, seeing Yueyue so happy makes me want to cry.】

【Yueyue’s smiles are usually reserved, but this time, he’s genuinely happy. He really seems to have been influenced and changed by his friends, becoming much more lively.】

【The kids are so heartwarming. I’m always moved by this kind of pure friendship.】

The sea in the distance was blue and clear, with layers of waves rolling and crashing onto the beach.

The production team’s task was very timely. This was the moment after the tide had receded, and many marine creatures hadn’t had time to retreat and were hiding in the mudflats.

Perhaps this island had just been developed, so the marine creatures were particularly fat and could be seen everywhere.

Hang Xuan led the way, stepping into the mud, and then pointed to a slightly bulging area ahead, saying, “Look, there must be something there.”

Looking at the deep mud, Yin Qinya struggled a bit, but suddenly remembered she was wearing a pair of casual brown sandals, so there was nothing to worry about.

Although she was somewhat reluctant to wear this ugly outfit and shoes, Aunt Xia Xia was right, it really didn’t feel so bad to step into it.

With that in mind, she glanced back at Sheng Xia, who had previously made such a “kind” suggestion, and strangely felt a sense of relief.

Top of Form

It seemed like she could feel Yin Qinya’s gaze. Sheng Xia enthusiastically took out the iron hook, and when she turned her head, she blinked and said, “Yaya, why are you looking at me like this? Are you not feeling well and don’t want to play with everyone?”

Sheng Xia continued, her tone sincere, “If you really don’t want to, there’s no need to force yourself. Just sit aside for a while, and you can leave the little bucket to me.”

Yin Qinya, startled, protectively hugged the carefully selected little pink bucket, shaking her head vigorously, “I’m willing! Aunt Xia Xia, don’t worry!”

She knew Aunt Xia Xia had long coveted her beautiful pink bucket and that’s why she didn’t want to hand it over. Hmph!

“Really? Yaya, you’re not being forced at all?”

Seeing Aunt Xia Xia persistently asking, Yin Qinya lifted the bucket, not caring whether she would get dirty, and ran into the muddy puddle.

Although she disliked the sticky feeling, once she stepped in, it didn’t seem as scary as she had imagined.

She sighed in relief, and seeing Yi Fanfan playing in the mud puddles nearby, she instinctively took her hand and said, “Fanfan, let’s go and have a look too.”

Seeing her daughter boldly moving forward, Yin Su couldn’t help but relax. Seeing Yaya already playing with her friends, she couldn’t help but feel both helpless and amused, “Indeed, Miss Sheng is the one who can control Yaya the best.”

Le Chuxin was smiling as she watched Sheng Xia tease Yaya. When she heard his words, she paused for a moment and suddenly said, “It’s because you can’t bear to scold Yaya. We should all reflect on ourselves.”

Both of them had learned about each other’s thoughts from the livestream, so they had chatted a lot last night, which was also a way to resolve Le Chuxin’s inner conflicts. Although there were still some subconscious concerns, they had finally learned to express themselves.

Yin Su touched his nose and tried to please, “You’re right. We’ll learn slowly after we go back.”

Le Chuxin glanced at him but didn’t say anything, although his cheeks were a bit red.

Suddenly, the children’s cheers came from the side, “Wow, it’s a cat’s eye snail! Is this a cat’s eye snail, right? Hang Xuan?”

“It’s so big, hurry up and wash it.”

“The adults haven’t even started yet, and we’ve already caught one, yay!”
