Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

An hour later, a soft, sweet moaning sound came from the next bedroom.

Two small figures tossed and turned on the bed, their faces flushed and their eyelashes long, like two sleeping little dumplings.

Chengyang was the first to wake up.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her small body supporting her as she slowly sat up on the mattress, her head nodding, still feeling a little drowsy.

Sensing the voices coming from the living room, she tilted her head and gently lifted the blanket.

Barefoot, she ran out onto the soft carpet, her little feet clicking and clattering.

"Brother Jiang Fan... Sister..." Cheng Yang's voice was soft and sweet, with a slight hoarseness from just waking up, and her fair face was flushed.

"Chengyang is awake, but where is Sizi?"

"Sizi is still sleeping," Chengyang said softly.

"Uh-huh!"

Before long, the little ox on the bed slowly woke up.

The little guy stretched out a big yawn, his tiny arms and legs spread out in a "big" shape.

Her fluffy hair clung messily to her forehead, and she blinked her large, dazed eyes.

"I...I'm awake...Where's my boyfriend?" She jumped up, not caring about fixing her messy hair, and stumbled out of the bedroom, clutching her skirt.

As soon as she came out and saw Jiang Fan, Xiao Sizi's eyes lit up instantly, all her sleepiness vanished, and she pounced on him with her little arms outstretched.

"Give me a hug, bro!!"

Jiang Fan bent down and gently lifted the soft little princess into his arms.

The little one was warm all over, with a faint milky scent. He nuzzled his head affectionately against Jiang Fan's neck, pouting, "Baby, I'm full from sleep! Now I have energy to play!"

"Haha, perfect timing! I'll take you guys shopping and buying you some delicious food."

Jiang Fan gently rubbed the two little ones' soft heads.

"Buy yummy treats?!" Little Sizi instantly perked up, her eyes sparkling. "I want candy! I want seven mini cakes! And seven ice creams!"

"You've already had ice cream today, so don't be greedy anymore. And it's almost time for dinner. I'll take you to eat something delicious later." Jiang Fan deliberately put on a stern face, but his tone was full of doting affection.

Upon hearing this, Little Si Zi immediately pursed her lips and obediently nodded, "Okay! Little Si Zi will be good! No more ice cream!"

Chengyang, who was standing nearby, quickly raised his hand as well: "I'll be obedient too!"

"Okay, you're all good, obedient children!"

After a quick tidy-up, the four headed straight for Sanya's largest duty-free shopping district.

It was the first time for the two little ones, and they were full of curiosity the whole time, looking left and right with their little heads constantly.

Cheng Yang, a quiet girl, held Li Lizhi's left hand tightly and quietly looked around.

After a while, Xiao Sizi completely let loose, holding Jiang Fan's right hand, hopping and skipping with light steps, like a happy little sparrow.

"Hey! What's that shiny thing?!"

"Hey! There's a little bunny doll over there! It's so cute!"

"Sister, look! Flowers! So many flowers!"

The little one chattered away the whole way, his sweet, soft voice ringing out.

It attracted frequent glances from passersby, who were all charmed by the adorable little dumpling.

Jiang Fan took Li Lizhi to the beauty and skincare counter first, where he picked out the sunscreen, moisturizer, and lotion set that she was missing. He also bought cosmetics, saliva, and underwear.

The saleswoman looked at the two adorable young girls working with her and couldn't help but smile and praise their cuteness.

Jiang Fan didn't neglect his two little ones; he bought them pretty little dresses from the children's section.

Soft-soled sandals, cute headbands, cartoon backpacks—he'd buy them all if the two little ones glanced at them a couple of times.

A little while later, the little girl, with her tiny hands gripping the glass counter,

Her bright, sparkling eyes stared at the rows of princess dresses, and she couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Wow...so pretty! Such beautiful dresses!"

"Try it if you like it, and we'll buy it if you like it." Jiang Fan smiled and rubbed her little head.

"Okay?" Little Sizi's eyes lit up instantly, and she added sensibly, "Then Little Sizi only needs one item! Not wanting to waste Guoguo's money!"

Seeing the little guy's joyful yet sensible and restrained demeanor, Jiang Fan's heart melted completely.

The two little ones tried on dresses one by one. Chengyang wore a light apricot-colored floral princess dress, looking gentle and quiet, with soft eyes and a more refined and lovely temperament.

Little Sizi wore a pink tulle dress, the soft, fluffy skirt making her delicate, rosy face appear even more beautiful.

When she runs, her skirt flutters, making her look like a real little fairy, so cute it's almost unfair.

The two stood together, one still and one moving, their gentle and sweet demeanor drawing praise from the store clerks, who couldn't bear to look away while taking photos.

Jiang Fan bought a lot of things with the little princesses, and then took them out to eat.

We ordered Wenchang chicken, coconut rice, pineapple stir-fried beef, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a pitcher of freshly squeezed mango juice—several local specialties.

Soon the food was served. The soft, sticky, and sweet coconut rice was infused with the aroma of coconut; the Wenchang chicken, with its yellow skin and tender meat, was served with dipping sauce, and its fragrance was irresistible.

Little Sizi held her small bowl, taking tiny bites of coconut rice, her eyes crinkling into crescents as she ate: "Wow, this rice is so fragrant! It's so delicious!"

Chengyang politely picked up a piece of chicken, chewed it carefully, and showed a satisfied expression.

After dinner, Jiang Fan took the little princesses back. There wasn't much else to do, and since they could go beachcombing here, Jiang Fan decided to take the three little princesses beachcombing.

"We'll eat whatever we catch. Your brother's dinner is up to you," Jiang Fan said to the little princesses.

"I want to catch lots of things!" Little Sizi said in a childish voice, carrying a bucket in his chubby little hands.

Twenty minutes later, the princesses were all ready to go, each wearing gloves, carrying a plastic bucket in their left hand and a plastic tong in their right.

"Little conch shell, blow it, and the seagulls will take flight." Jiang Fan led the way.

"Little Norwegian Horn, beep beep beep, seagulls listen to the call of Zhan Qihui."

The little princess followed behind Jiang Fan, carrying the clips on her shoulder, muttering to herself as she hummed the nursery rhyme her brother was singing.

"Sizi, it's a little conch shell." Chengyang was the third one, constantly playing with the little princess.

"No, it's a minor account change!"

"Wow! Brother, it's Xiao Nuo's number!" The little princess quickly and carefully picked it up with tongs.

"Brother! There are seashells here!" Chengyang was overjoyed. He could find seashells as soon as he arrived at the beach, and they were even blowing bubbles.

Since it wasn't their first time, the princesses were very experienced, and it didn't take long for Little Sizi to catch the razor clams.

"I want lots and lots of them!" The little princess felt she had done a great service.

"Brother Fan, there are still mantis shrimp here!" Li Lizhi picked up a not-so-active mantis shrimp, put it in the bucket, and then hopped over to show it off to Jiang Fan.

Time passed slowly, and the three princesses' buckets were all full. Although there wasn't much, it was enough to satisfy their hunger.

The girls' faces were covered in sweat, seawater, and some dark finger marks, but more than anything, they radiated joy and satisfaction.
