Huanhuan's family journeyed for more than 10 days before they finally saw the long coastline.
The beach was filled with reefs, and there were small crabs everywhere.
Tonight's dinner was roasted crabs.
Each of the little crabs was only half the size of a palm. After being roasted, it beca fragrant and crispy. It was especially delicious.
Huanhuan ate five in one go. It was only when Bai Di said that she would have diarrhea if she ate too many crabs that he managed to stop her from eating the sixth.
The family of four spent the night by the sea. The next morning, Huanhuan took the boat out of her space.
She and Bai Di boarded the ship first.
Xue Ling pulled the rope and dragged the boat to the surface.
After the ship officially started moving, Xue Ling landed on the deck.
When a ship sailed at sea, it would sway slightly. At first, Xue Ling didn't think much of it, but after a while, he felt dizzy and suffocated. He even felt like vomiting.
Huanhuan knew from his expression that he was seasick.
She told him to go back to the cabin and rest.
Xue Ling lay on the bed, his face pale and listless.
"It's uncomfortable to be on a ship. I'll never be on a boat ship."
Huanhuan did not expect the fearless Xue Ling to be seasick. She looked at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Rest for a while. When you feel better, you can fly."
Xue Ling felt especially aggrieved. "You specially built this boat for . I'm not leaving."
"When did I build this ship for you? Why didn't I know about it?"
"Didn't you say before that you built a ship so we could sail as your heart ached to see
fly for a long ti?"
Huanhuan had just said it casually. She did not expect him to take it seriously.
But since he wasn't feeling well, she didn't reveal it in case he felt worse.
She poured him a glass of warm water. "Have so water, then sleep. We'll be outside. Let us know if you need anything."
After Xue Ling finished drinking the water, he hugged her arm and refused to let go. "Stay and sleep with , or I won't be able to sleep."
Huanhuan pinched his ear. "You're already a father. Why are you still acting like a child?"
"If I can get benefits for myself, there's nothing wrong with occasional wheedling."
Xue Ling said righteously, and Huanhuan was speechless.
She was quite impressed by his shalessness.
In the end, Huanhuan lost to Xue Ling's shaless behavior. She lay beside him.
Xue Ling hugged her tightly and lowered his head to sll the faint scent of vegetation on her. His dizziness from seasickness had reduced. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep as the ship swayed.
This ship relied on the energy released by crystals to advance. It was much faster than ordinary ships.
Bai Di and Shuang Yun took turns steering the ship. Everything went smoothly.
When he was free, Bai Di went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Huanhuan was awakened by the fragrance of the food.
She quickly climbed out of Xue Ling's arms and followed the fragrance to the kitchen. She saw Bai Di cooking the ingredients.
Bai Di was surprised to see her. "Weren't you resting with Xue Ling? Why are you up all of a sudden?"
Huanhuan leaned over and stared at the mushroom stew in the pot. She was drooling. "It's all because my stomach kept growling, so it woke
up."
She wanted to steal a piece of chicken. As soon as she reached out and touched it, she cried out from the heat.
Bai Di quickly put down the ingredients and held her fingers. His heart ached when he saw that her fingertips were red from the heat. "If you want to eat, you can use chopsticks. Don't use your hands to take the food. It'll hurt if you get burned!"
He lowered his head and opened his mouth to suck on her fingertips.
The moist and warm touch of her mouth made Huanhuan blush. She forgot the pain in her fingertips and whispered, "I'm fine..."
Bai Di let go of her fingertips and saw that they had healed automatically. They were no longer swollen. He found so water to rinse her fingers.
Huanhuan watched his gentle and careful movents and couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you like my father?"
Bai Di looked at her. "Huh?"
Huanhuan spouted nonsense without changing her expression, "I just said you're handso!"
"Glib-tongued."
Huanhuan leaned forward and kissed his face, openly taking advantage of him.
Bai Di smiled helplessly, his eyes indulgent.
He dried her hands. "Since you're so hungry, why don't I scoop so food for you to eat first?"
"Forget it. Let's wait for Shuang Yun and Xue Ling to eat together." Huanhuan looked at the vegetables in the pot and gulped. Then, she decisively turned around and walked out. "I'll ask Xue Ling and Shuang Yun to get ready to eat."
Dinner was a large pot of mushroom chicken stew. In addition to the chicken and mushrooms, there were also field mustard and potatoes.
The family of four ate very happily around the table.
After eating, Bai Di added more noodles to the soup.
The thick chicken soup paired well with the noodles. It was delicious.
Huanhuan was already full, but she couldn't resist the temptation and ate half a bowl of noodles. Her stomach was bulging.
Shuang Yun went to wash the dishes while Bai Di led Huanhuan to the deck for a walk to digest her food.
Xue Ling returned to his room to rest as usual. As long as he stood, he would feel dizzy and nauseous. However, he refused to leave the ship. He was as stubborn as a child, so Huanhuan couldn't do anything to him.
The nightti at sea was very beautiful. It was a beautiful view that could not be seen on land.
Bai Di took Huanhuan's hand and paced the deck.
The night wind was cool, and there was a moist scent. It was very comfortable.
Huanhuan touched her bulging stomach and sighed as she walked. "I feel like I'm pregnant again, but I just gave birth."
Bai Di said, "It's too hard to give birth. You should try to have fewer children in the future."
Huanhuan counted with her fingers. "I've already given birth to your, Shuang Yun's, and Xue Ling's children. All that's left is Sang Ye's. When we go back, I'll give birth to his children. The four of you will all have children. After that, I won't have to give birth again."
Bai Di's expression was complicated when he heard her ntion Sang Ye. "Actually, Sang Ye..."
Before he could finish, he heard Xue Ling's cry from the cabin.
"Eggy is hatching!"
Bai Di swallowed the rest of his words and pulled Huanhuan into the cabin.
Xue Ling sat on the bed and held Eggy in his hands, his fiery eyes sparkling. "My baby is coming out soon!"
Huanhuan leaned over and saw that Eggy was trembling in his palm. It seed that the baby was struggling inside and wanted to break out of its shell.
Breaking out of its shell was the first test of its life as children of the feather tribe.
If the chick was not healthy enough, it would not be able to break out of its shell and end up suffocating inside.
The strong survived, while the weak were eliminated.
This was the law of nature.
