There is a golden beach on the edge of the endless blue sea.
Girls in floral skirts and men with muscular bodies are bustling.
Lin Zhixia wears a small straw hat and a white T-shirt dotted with small strawberries. Lin Keai looks at the blue sea in front of him. His mouth is slightly open, his beautiful big eyes are wide and his chubby belly is also matching. His excitement undulated slightly.
Amidst the sound of ocean waves and laughter, a little milk sound pierced the sky.
"Dad! The sea!"
Lin Zhixia turned his head and Lin Keai disappeared. He was in a hurry when he saw Luo Qin holding the little guy walking towards him with a smile.
Lin Keai was still shaking his feet restlessly, trying to break away from Luo Qin arms then Lin Zhixia slapped him on the ass, "Xiaoai, didn't dad tell you not to run around."
"Ocean..." Lin Keai, who was beaten are still excited, "So beautiful!" Lin Keai, who was born in an inland city, saw the sea for the first time and was truly amazed. He had forgotten what Lin Zhixia had said long ago.
Lin Zhixia sighed helplessly, resignedly put sunscreen on him. Wiped it on his arms and legs of the little guy. When Lin Zhixia saw Luo Qin white skin was slightly red from the sun, he also told him. "Head down."
Luo Qin obediently brought his face to him, and Lin Zhixia also helped him put on a layer of sunscreen.
Luo Qin noticed that Lin Zhixia expression was not very good, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Xia, are you uncomfortable?"
"Maybe it was because I didn't sleep well yesterday and I was a little dizzy."
Luo Qin said immediately, "Then let's go back and rest first. We live by the sea, can come back at night."
Lin Zhixia smiled and nodded, "Okay." Lin Keai summer vacation began with a foreign trip.
This trip for the whole family was proposed by Luo Qin. As soon as he proposed it, Lin Keai responded eagerly. Lin Zhixia also thought about it. He has been busy with small restaurants and he has never taken Lin Keai out to play, so he agreed.
The place of travel is a neighbouring country, and Luo Qin has arranged everything. They only need to go.
They stayed at a seaside hotel. The sea area popular with celebrity. The scenery is really good. They put down the luggage, did not rest and directly went to the seaside at noon. The sea breeze was full of heat. Lin Zhixia slept late last night. On the plane, Lin Keai who was extremely excited, was tossed so much that he didn't have a good rest. At the moment, he really felt drowsy.
Lin Keai still wanted to run to the beach but when Luo Qin said that Lin Zhixia was unwell, he also felt sorry for his dad. He obediently followed the two back to the hotel and offered to help Lin Zhixia carry the bag. Lin Zhixia teased him and handed the bag. Lin Keai hugged the bag but within two steps, he wanted to hug Luo Qin.
Luo Qin picked him up, and Lin Zhixia smiled, "Didn't you want to help me take the bag?" Lin Keai patted the bag in his arms, "Take it!"
Luo Qin, who was bearing all the weight, said nothing.
Back at the hotel, Lin Zhixia lay down on the bed, "Ah, I finally came alive!"
Luo Qin squeezed the juice for him and said smoothly, "My friend wants to invite us to dinner tonight. Xiao Xia, wanna go?"
Lin Zhixia sat up. "Do you have any friends here? You haven't told me about it."
"College classmate, he lived here." Luo Qin thought for a while, "We haven't seen each other for several years. The relationship was pretty good before."
Lin Zhixia without even thinking about it, "Then go."
Luo Qin smiled and handed him the squeezed passion fruit and Sydney juice, "Then I will tell him."
"Okay." Lin Zhixia took a sip of the refreshing juice, he was happy, "Should we prepare any gifts?"
Luo Qin started to squeeze watermelon juice for Lin Keai again. He skilfully cut the watermelon pieces without raising his head and said, "I prepared it before, in the luggage there a box."
Lin Zhixia was taken aback for a moment.
Luo Qin packed up the suitcase, and he didn't know what Luo Qin had brought.
He relied more and more on him. With Luo Qin there, Lin Zhixia didn't have to bother about many things.
He walked over and hugged him from behind. Luo Qin kept moving his hands, "What's wrong?"
"No, I just feel that I like you." Lin Zhixia murmured against his back, "I like you very much."
Luo Qin turned around and kissed Lin Zhixia forehead lightly, "Me too." Lin Keai ran in from the balcony holding Luo Qin phone, "Dad, look at my brother!" His brother was only two years old. They couldn't take him when traveling so he was sent to Luo Zhengyan. Luo Yao was also on summer vacation so they took care of the baby together happily.
Lin Keai was fooling around with his cell phone and he make a video call. The baby on the screen of the phone was drooling happily. They didn't know what he was talking about. Lin Zhixia and Luo Qin didn't understand but Lin Keai seemed to be very confused. Understand, ah woo a few times from time to time, and have a conversation happily.
"What about my brother? Where are your fathers? Where did they go?" Luo Yao frustrated voice came from outside the screen, "What's the matter, go out to play by yourself and let me take the children at home? Are you human?"
"Aunt!" Lin Keai chuckled, and took out two big blessed dumplings from his small backpack, "I-I bought you a delicious snack!"
After saying that, he took a bite and opened his eyes in surprise, "Delicious!"
"...Who did you buy it for?"
Lin Zhixia couldn't smile, took the phone and laughed happily when he saw the baby. He coaxed the baby for a while and talked to Luo Yao said, "Your brother said he wanted to bring you a gift. What do you want?"
Luo Qin looked up and blinked at Lin Zhixia. He didn't seem to have said this.
Luo Yao was also not polite to them, "I want it to be expensive! The more expensive the better!"
Lin Zhixia promised, "Okay."
"It's pretty much the same." Luo Yao whispered, "Okay, let's play. I'm going to have fun and take a nap."
"Okay, I've worked you hard these few days."
Luo Yao snorted twice and hung up. Dropped the video call.
"You have a good relationship with Luo Yao recently."
"She is tsundere." Lin Zhixia said with a smile, "In fact, Luo Yao just said that she was not a forgiving person but she is not a bad one."
Qiao Mei's affairs, Luo Zhengyan and Luo Yao already knew about it but the past was not good enough to explain to them all. It was difficult to break through that floor and the two were still not enthusiastic about Lin Zhixia.
But Lin Zhixia could perceive that their attitude towards him was completely different from before. Luo Yao apologized to him, although she was still awkward when talking about things before.
In fact, Luo Qin did not express his wish to have a good relationship with the Luo family. He even hoped that Lin Zhixia could live as he pleases. However, Lin Zhixia felt that Luo Qin still longed for family affection in his heart. If he could make good relationship with Luo Zhengyan and Luo Yao, Luo Qin should be very happy too.
Luo Qin paused, without saying anything.
They rested in the hotel for an afternoon, and then went out in the evening.
Luo Qin friends made an appointment at a restaurant near the beach, and they can go there on foot.
There are still a lot of people on the beach in the evening but the heat dissipates a lot and the refreshing sea breeze is blowing, which is very pleasant.
They talked as they walked and when they arrived at the restaurant, they realized that their friends had arrived, they were standing at the door waiting for them.
His friend was called Li Yicheng, who was very kin. He took his wife and a pair of siblings while waiting for them in the restaurant early. Seeing them coming, they greeted him. Li Yicheng hammered Luo Qin shoulder lightly and said, "Finally you've arrived."
Luo Qin smiled, "It's you, who are early."
Li Yicheng stepped forward and put his arms around his shoulders, "Okay, Mr. Luo is very busy. It's not easy to see you."
After the conversation, he glanced at Lin Zhixia and smiled heartily at him, "This is Zhixia? I always listen to Luo Qin mentioning you and finally see a real person."
Although Luo Qin relationship with others is complicated, most of them are business contacts. It was the first time that Lin Zhixia saw a friend like Li Yicheng. He felt a little embarrassed inexplicably. He smiled and said, "Hello."
"This is my wife Wanjun." Li Yicheng introduced his family and then pointed to the two children, said, "The brother named Li Yinsi and sister Li Chengyun."
The two little guys also greeted them together.
Luo Qin patted Lin Keai in his arms, "Xiaoai, greet your brother and sister."
Lin Keai was a little stage fright but still dared to say, "Hello, my name is Lin Keai."
Wan Jun smiled said, "As the name suggests, he is really cute." Lin Keai embarrassedly buried his face on Luo Qin shoulder.
"Okay." Li Yicheng greeted them to enter the restaurant, "Hurry up and eat, I'm hungry."
The restaurant was next to the beach, and the location was facing the sea. Everyone was relaxed, eating and chatting while watching the night view.
The children are sitting together. Li Chengyun is about the same age as Lin Keai. The two little guys can talk a little bit, head on top of each other and muttering. Li Yinsi is several years older than them so the older child's is ignored. A little kid, sitting upright and eating the food on his plate with a cold face and elegant movements, like a little prince. It is completely different from the two mythical beasts next to him.
"Drinking and chatting are good." Lin Zhixia sighed, and then looked at Lin Keai who was eating and dancing next to him, he sighed, "I definitely don't let you worry about it."
Li Yicheng laughed, "He is so cute. Li Yinshi, not cute at all."
Li Yinsi, who was dismantled by his old father, turned red on his cheeks.
Lin Keai held the big lobster and screamed, "Dad! Help me peel it!"
Looking at the contrast of vividness and fragrance, Lin Zhixia sighed again then resignedly brought the lobster over and helped him peel it.
"I'll do it."
Luo Qin took the plate over and put the fish that the fishbone had just been pick up, into Lin Zhixia plate, reminding in a low voice, "This is a bit spicy."
Lin Zhixia took a bite, "But it's delicious. "
Luo Qin smiled,"I think you'll like it. "
He first fed Lin Zhixia and only then move his attention to Lin Keai.
Lin Zhixia is used to being taken care of by him in this way but the people around him are dumbfounded.
"When we were in school, Luo Qin was the most popular one." Li Yicheng said with emotion. "Many people chased him but Luo Qin never bother them. At that time, we all said that he would die alone. I didn't expect this now."
"What?" Wan Jun glared at him, "You should learn from Luo Qin, you should have half of him."
Li Yicheng immediately looked embarrassed.
Lin Zhixia ate the fish that Luo Qin gave and the roots of his ears were slightly red. "Is he popular in college too?"
"Yes, look at his appearance. Can't it be?"
Lin Zhixia subconsciously raised his eyes to look. Luo Qin deliberately teased him, raised an eyebrow at him and Lin Zhixia couldn't help laughing.
"Dad, this is delicious!" Lin Keai held a large lobster, "Can I bring one back for Xiaoxun?"
"This is impossible. You can bring something else for Xiaoxun." Lin Keai was a little disappointed. Luo Qin immediately comforted, "We can bring Xiaoxun a better gift, father help you pick it together?" Lin Keai immediately jumped for joy, "Okay!"
In the same time, Lin Keai and the children had bonded, they were reluctant to part with each other.
Li Yinsi stood aside, showing disdain at the two small beans.
"I'll see you again tomorrow." Lin Zhixia appeased Lin Keai, "Tomorrow, sister Chengyun will go to the aquarium with Xiaoai, okay?"
Li Chengyun nodded shyly.
Lin Keai was happy now. Lin Zhixia shook his hand, "Say goodbye to uncle and aunt."
"Uncle and aunty goodbye!" Lin Keyai exclaimed, making Li Yicheng and Wanjun amused. Then he went on to shout, "Yun Yun sister goodbye!"
Li Chengyun waved at him, "Brother goodbye!"
Lin Keai glanced around, smiling and shouted, "Si si brother goodbye!"
After thinking for a moment, he didn't have a word with Lin Keai today. He didn't expect this little brother would suddenly call him. He was stunned and then nodded at him, then turned his face away and ignored Lin Keai.
Lin Zhixia laughed at Lin Keai in a low voice, "You're pretty good at calling people."
"Yes!" Lin Keai held his neck and acted like a baby, "Dad, I am so happy today."
Lin Zhixia saw that he was so happy, his heart is also warm.
Luo Qin talked to Li Yicheng for a while the bid farewell to the family, and came back to pick up Lin Keai. He subconsciously said, "Xiaoai, you ate a lot tonight."
"Yes, it's a lot heavier again."
"I don't. I'm not heavy!"
Lin Keai said angrily. He hurt his self-esteem, then he said that he wanted to go down and walk by himself. Then he walked in front of him with his belly. Lin Zhixia and Luo Qin followed behind and laughed.
"Xiaoai." Lin Zhixia shouted at him, "Dad was wrong!" Lin Keai stepped on the sand vigorously, "Humph!"
Lin Zhixia couldn't hold back anymore, laughed out loud, Luo Qin gave him a boo posture but the corners of his mouth are also raised.
The next day was a rainy day. The rain was continuous and it was not convenient to travel. Fortunately, Li Yicheng arranged a car to pick them up so it didn't disrupt the plan.
The two families met, but only Li Yicheng and Li Yinsi came. Li Yicheng took the initiative to explain, "Xiao Yun has a cold. Wan Jun stays with her at home."
Luo Qin frowned, "If your child is sick, don't come with us and go back. Help Wanjun."
"Yeah." Lin Zhixia followed, "Xiaoyun is important."
"It's okay, it's just a small cold and lacking energy." Li Yicheng smiled, "If something is really going on, can I be polite to you?"
Seeing his stubbornness, Luo Qin no longer excuses.
But Lin Keai, who didn't see Li Chengyun, was very sad for a while.
On the way to the aquarium, Lin Keai secretly observed this unfamiliar brother, only to find that Li Yinsi didn't seem to want to talk to him.
Lin Zhixia suddenly thought of something and said, "Xiaoai, didn't you say that you prepared a small gift for your brother and sister? Why didn't you take it out?"
Lin Keai took out two white conchs from his pocket. This is what he carefully prepared.
When Lin Keai went back yesterday, he was looking for a long time at the beach. Only to find the two most beautiful conchs, he jumped excitedly for a long time.
He stuffed the conch next to him but Lin Yinsi didn't talk to him and didn't seem to like him very much. He whispered, "Brother Sisi, I give it to you."
Li Yinsi took it and put it in his bag carefully without looking at Lin Keai, he said "thank you" in a low voice.
Lin Keai, who was spoiled everywhere, was hurt by his indifference and silently crawled into Lin Zhixia arms, his aggrieved eyes were red.
Lin Zhixia was just looking out the window and did not notice the undercurrent surging between the two children. "What's the matter?"
Lin Keai wiped his eyes and whispered, "Brother doesn't like me."
Lin Zhixia did not hear clearly, and asked again, "What?"
Lin Keai just shook his head and stopped talking.
Li Yinsi next to him scribbled his clothes hard, and then opened it lightly.
When he got off the bus, Lin Keai had been coaxed by Lin Zhixia but he didn't try to connect with Li Yinsi anymore, only stuck to Lin Zhixia.
Li Yicheng said, "Yinsi. Why don't you take your brother to play with you?" Lin Keai stirred his fingers and said nothing.
Li Yinsi pursed his mouth for a long time and finally made up his mind to walk to Lin Zhixia, "Brother, I will take you to see the mermaid." Lin Keai eyes lit up and he wanted to get off Lin Zhixia. His sorrow was wiped out. He took the initiative to hold Li Yinsi hand and said milky voice, "Let's look at the mermaid!"
Li Yinsi smiled slightly and then ran forward with Lin Keai.
"Slow down! Don't lose your brother!"
With Li Yinsi and Lin Keai away from vision, the adults were completely liberated and they chatted with each other.
Until it got dark, Li Yinsi led Lin Keai out of the aquarium.
Lin Keai is sticking to him now, taking a bite of brother Sisi, wishing to hang on to others.
He flicked his foot and the shoelaces were loose. He didn't care about it. He flung the shoelaces carelessly for fun so Li Yinsi squatted down and tied the shoelaces for him, neatly tied a bow.
Li Yicheng was shocked when he saw Li Yinsi, who was not enthusiastic about his sister, actually squatted down to help Lin Keai tie his shoes.
"Li Yinsi has changed." he rubbed Li Yinsi hair, "He know how to take care of his brother." Li Yinsi shook off his hand impatiently and walked to the side with Lin Keai.
"Brother, I want to eat grilled chicken wings!"
"Then let's buy it."
Lin Zhixia looked at the backs of one big and one small snuggling together, then whispered to Luo Qin, "It's a sea king, so cute..."
"He's so likable." Luo Qin put his arms around Lin Zhixia waist. "Must be inheritance."
Lin Zhixia gave him a white look, "Just say that you are also very popular."
Luo Qin kissed the tip of his nose, "I mean he inherited you."
Lin Zhixia raised his face.
"Stop it."
With the help of the Li family and his son, this trip was easier. Li Yinsi basically takes all the responsibilities of taking care of Lin Keai. In the next few days, Lin Keai was even leff behind. Lin Zhixia and Luo Qin walking around, eating, playing and did nothing but it is rare time to be so leisurely. Even if Lin Zhixia does not do anything, he feels very happy.
As long as he is with Luo Qin, he's happy.
In the afternoon, the two passed by a seaside cafe. They happened to be a little tired, so they sat inside to rest.
From time to time, someone came to talk, speaking in the local language but Lin Zhixia couldn't understand it so he asked Luo Qin what they were talking about.
After having a dialogue with the people, Luo Qin replied dismissively fluently, "Just ask."
Lin Zhixia do not believe it, "Who would ask a foreigner about road ah, you be honest. Is not to strike up a conversation with you?"
Luo Qin do not deny.
Lin Zhixia curled his lips, his beautiful eyes swept over the people around who were peeping at them from time to time, "You're here to catch the peak and meet butterflies everywhere." They were indeed here to strike up a conversation but most of them came to ask about Lin Zhixia. Only they understand the language, it will become easier.
Luo Qin sigh, this person seemed to have no idea how attractive he was.
"Xiao Xia." After Lin Zhixia took a bite of the cake, he raised his head and looked at Luo Qin ignorantly, "Huh?"
Luo Qin squeezed his chin and gently kissed his lips. The sweet buttery smell immediately filled the whole mouth. Lin Zhixia looked around subconsciously and the originally hot eyes cooled down a lot.
Lin Zhixia looked at Luo Qin blankly, not understanding why he suddenly attacked.
"They are not looking at me, they are looking at you."
Luo Qin said lightly, flipping the book in his hand.
Lin Zhixia just remembered. Although Luo Qin was still expressionless, he smelled the air slightly sour and a smile appeared on his face.
The last piece of cake was handed to Luo Qin mouth. Lin Zhixia smiled lightly and Luo Qin swallowed it in one bite, full of sweetness.
On the last day of the trip, Lin Zhixia went to choose the gifts he brought back. After buying Luo Yao and Luo Zhengyan shares, he set about buying gifts for Xiao Qi, Aunt Qin and Qin Zhe.
Qin Zhe is not a person who likes entanglement, he was polite and restrained when he first confessed. Since he reunited with Luo Qin, Qin Zhe has almost broken contact and even the old lady Qin doesn't go to the store much.
But Lin Zhixia was grateful for his previous help so he still bought him a watch.
He was worried that Luo Qin was uncomfortable and reported in advance.
"I would mind." Luo Qin said truthfully. Luo Qin really couldn't be generous in this matter. "But I also know that he helped you a lot so I have no objection. By the way, invite him to eat at home?"
Luo Qin speaking very sincerely but Lin Zhixia head grew big when he thought of their previous meeting, "It's okay, I will drag Xiao Qi to hand it over to him." Luo Qin nodded and said nothing.
"Dad!" Lin Keai ran over with a box of desserts, "I-I want to bring this to Xiaoxun!" In fact, Luo Qin had already helped him choose a gift but Lin Keai still wanted to buy everything he saw. Luo Qin was very generous, and agreed to buy all.
"Yes."
Lin Keai cheered and ran to the side. Li Yinsi walked behind him, frowning slightly.
It took a long time before he said what he was holding in his heart.
"Who is Xiaoxun?"
"Xiaoxun is Xiaoxun." Lin Keai reached for the funny egg on the shelf. He couldn't reach it. He pulled La Li Yinsi arm, "Brother, help me get this. "
Li Yinsi stretched out his hand to help him take it down, "Are you doing well with him?"
"Yeah!" Lin Keai nodded vigorously, "I like Xiaoxun the most!"
Li Yinsi face turned black. "You said you like me yesterday."
Lin Keai tilted his head, innocent, "I like Brother Sisi too. I like it the most."
Li Yinsi mood suddenly became bad.
But Lin Keai didn't know, he took Li Yinsi hand and walked to the gashapon machine, "Brother, I want to play that!"
Author Note: Gashapon machine: a tool machine where you put coins in and a ball drop down.
"Don't you like Xiaoxun?"
Li Yinsi muttered as he put it in his pocket. He took out the coins and gave them all to Lin Keai, watching him squat happily in front of the gashapon machine.
Lin Zhixia pulled Luo Qin, "Brother, I want to play that too!"
Luo Qin thought of a joke he had seen before, couldn't help but chuckle and leaned in Lin Zhixia ear to say something.
Lin Zhixia flushed suddenly and kicked him.
"...What's in your mind!"
At the airport, Lin Keai cried and refused to leave. Li Yinsi took Lin Keai hand and remained silent for a long time before speaking in a low voice before getting on the plane. "Brother, I will find you so don't forget me."
Lin Keai hugged a bear, kissed him on the face, then ran to Lin Zhixia and waved at him, "Goodbye Sisi brother! You must come and play with me!"
Li Yinsi nodded vigorously. His eyes flushed slightly.
Lin Zhixia looked at Lin Keai with a complicated expression, "Xiaoai, do you kiss others like this in school?"
"No. I kissed Xiaoxun!"
Lin Zhixia was relieved, "Then "Good."
Luo Qin added, "Xiaoai, you can't kiss other children casually, you know?"
Lin Keai spread his hands, "I didn't kiss casually."
"You just kissed Brother Sisi."
Lin Keai continued, spreading his hands, "Brother Sisi is a big brother, not another kid."
Lin Zhixia and Luo Qin looked at each other, and both sighs.
Lin Keai mood is ever-changing. Five minutes ago, he was crying because on the plane but now he started to go home excitedly. When he got home, he wanted to find Xiaoxun while singing a song. After ten minutes, he closed his eyes and began to snore.
Lin Zhixia covered him with a quilt and leaned against Luo Qin shoulder, "We're back finally."
Luo Qin kissed him on the forehead, "Homesick?"
"A little bit." Lin Zhixia rubbed. "I miss the baby."
"We bring him next time."
"Yeah."
He leaned on Luo Qin shoulder and his tiredness slowly hit him. He could always fall asleep easily by Luo Qin side.
He doesn't know what he dreamed of. Lin Zhixia showed a happy smile in his sleep.
There was a fiery red light in the distance, dyeing the surrounding clouds orange.
Luo Qin held Lin Zhixia hand, feeling peaceful.
The author has something to say:
