"My dear childlike heart..." The couple gazed at each other for a long time. Suddenly, Wei Qingqing turned over and lay flat on the deck, her hand stroking her high, swollen belly. "Once you were born, Mommy had to become an adult. I can't be as carefree as I am now..." As she spoke, she raised her hands. "My lovely childlike heart, you are gradually leaving me. Now it's all counting down..."

"What are you yelling about???" Yang Ming was exasperated, propping his elbows on the deck. "Are you crazy??? Just because you're a mother doesn't mean you can't have a childlike heart??? Who told you that???"

"Once you're a mother, you have to act like one, set a good example for your child..." Wei Qingqing placed her hands on her belly, gently rubbing its round shape. "Look at your mom and my mom, when have they ever acted like little kids???"

"How do you know you haven't done it before???" Yang Ming rolled his eyes. "All you do is imitate them. Why don't you learn from Fangfang? She's a mother too, and when she gets crazy, she's like a complete idiot..."

"That's true..." Wei Qingqing smiled shyly, "It was just a spontaneous thought, nothing more. The vastness of this place inspired my poetic inspiration..."

"Poetry or wetness???" Yang Ming's smile was somewhat lewd.

"Disgusting..." Wei Qingqing turned her head and glared, then frowned and gritted her teeth, "I've always found you to be truly vulgar. The refined poetic inspiration I'd just cultivated has been blatantly ruined by you..."

"Are you just spouting nonsense?" Yang Ming curled his lip in disdain. "So much for refined poetry? When did you learn to write poetry? I've never seen you recite any existing classical poems..."

"I can write poetry, believe it or not..." Wei Qingqing stared at Yang Ming with wide, angry eyes.

"Facts speak louder than words. Compose a poem on the spot and let me hear it. If you can really do it, I'll believe you..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Didn't you just say that??? My refined poetic taste has been ruined by you, you lewd person..." Wei Qingqing said with a hint of slyness.

"I knew you'd be waiting here..." Yang Ming looked at Wei Qingqing with disdain, as if he hadn't expected it.

"How dare you look at me like that???" Wei Qingqing narrowed her big eyes, and a dangerous glint flashed within them.

"Fine, I won't look then..." Yang Ming chuckled, his expression changing to a lewd one.

"I just realized you're such a sleazy person..." Wei Qingqing glanced at Yang Ming with disdain, then turned her head back and looked up at the azure sky.

"Sigh..." Yang Ming chuckled, lay down flat, placed his hands behind his head, and said in a somewhat dejected tone, "Now we have everything we could ever want, and we lead hundreds of millions of beautiful women, so why don't I feel any sense of accomplishment at all??? I just feel tired..."

"Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night..." Wei Qingqing smiled calmly. "Our power and status have never been made public. Without that sense of superiority, of course it feels boring..."

"That makes sense..." Yang Ming nodded. "How about we go public? After all, with our strength, we're considered big shots in the universe..."

"No, maybe we shouldn't?" Wei Qingqing shook her head slightly. "It's better to keep a low profile. After all, we're just ordinary people. Living a fulfilling life every day is the greatest happiness..."

"Hmm..." Yang Ming nodded, "That makes sense, then we won't make it public..."

"You have no opinions at all. One minute you say it should be made public, the next you say it shouldn't be..." Wei Qingqing's disdainful gaze fell on Yang Ming again.

"That's why I said, we should have the woman in charge of external affairs and the man in charge of internal affairs. I allow you to be a hen crowing at dawn..." Yang Ming winked at Wei Qingqing with a grin.

"Shameless..." Wei Qingqing laughed and cursed, then turned her head and slowly closed her eyes. "I'm going to take a nap first. When I wake up, we'll go back and swim in the sea this afternoon..."

"Go inside and sleep. The sun is too strong outside. Be careful not to get sunburned and peel off your skin..." Yang Ming said.

"No need..." Wei Qingqing mumbled, her voice somewhat indistinct, but she slowly fell asleep.

"Hehe..." Yang Ming smiled slightly, and a thin blanket appeared in his hand without him noticing. The blanket was cool to the touch and incredibly smooth. He gently shook it out and carefully covered Wei Qingqing with it.

Yang Ming was in good spirits and not sleepy at all. With nothing to do, he picked up his fishing rod, sat on the edge of the boat, and continued to fish leisurely. The sea breeze blew gently, always carrying a salty smell. The seawater, exposed to the sun, had a unique fishy smell that irritated the nose.

Yang Ming's fishing skills were average, but his catch rate was very good, mainly because he used apple chunks as bait that made the fish go crazy.

"Isn't that a shark???" When Yang Ming lifted the rod again, he found a baby shark biting the hook tightly and pulled it out of the water.

"That can't be right???" Yang Ming was puzzled. The fishing hook he was using was absolutely incapable of catching a shark, even the smallest one...

"So that's how it is..." Yang Ming discovered the secret when he took the baby shark off the hook. It turned out that the baby shark had a small sea fish in its mouth, and the one that was actually hooked was the small sea fish. The baby shark was caught along with the small sea fish because it wanted to eat the small sea fish.

"This is what happens when you're greedy..." Yang Ming patted the baby shark on the head, then casually put the little guy into the farm space and released him into the sea.

"Sniff..."

As Yang Ming rebaited his hook and was about to continue fishing, a strange smell suddenly entered his nostrils. The smell was salty and fishy, ​​with a hint of burning. Looking around, he saw the barbecue grill still in operation.

"It's been so long, it's all burnt..." Yang Ming quickly secured the fishing rod to the boat and then hurried towards the barbecue grill.

The squid on the grill was already a bit charred, and the burnt seasoning on it added to the strange smell. However, this weird smell was quite appetizing. Stimulated by the smell, Yang Ming swallowed hard, cleaned up the charred squid, and then put the remaining squid pieces from the small bowl on top.

Yang Ming wasn't only fond of squid when it came to seafood, so he also got several other types of sea fish from his space, cleaned them, and put them on the grill.

Yang Ming wasn't particularly skilled at grilling; he was only so-so. The grilled food was edible, but the seafood produced in the farm was exceptionally delicious, and with a little grilling, it became a delicacy.

An enticing aroma wafted through the air, carrying a subtle cumin scent that made one's mouth water.

"Sniff..."

A gasp rang out; Wei Qingqing had been woken up by the aroma. She sat up, glaring at Yang Ming, her lips pouting so much they could hang an oil bottle from them: "I knew it! You were secretly making delicious food for yourself while I was asleep..."

"What do you mean??? You don't even like grilled fish..." Yang Ming smiled slightly, "You only have a soft spot for squid..."

"Who said that? I love to eat anything that's meat..." Wei Qingqing simply stopped standing up and crawled to Yang Ming's side, sitting down with her legs bent. Seeing the grilled fish on the grill, her face immediately changed. She lightly punched Yang Ming and angrily said, "You scoundrel, you still dare to argue??? What kind of fish are you grilling??? This is oolong fish, a specialty of our Wei family's planet. You know I love this the most, and you secretly grilled it for yourself. Today I finally see you for who you are..."

Yang Ming looked up at the grill and sure enough, there was a small black fish, grilled until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, emitting an exceptionally rich and delicious aroma that made people's mouths water.

Because of its extremely poor reproductive ability, this type of black dragonfish is extremely rare. Yang Ming only kept a pair in the farm space. Thanks to the magic of the farm space, this rare fish has gradually grown in number. However, even with the magic of the space, the number has not exceeded one thousand so far.

"Um..." Yang Ming scratched his head awkwardly, "I didn't notice for a moment..."

"That's no excuse..." Wei Qingqing was still sulking. "You promised her a long time ago that when we eat oolong fish, as long as she's there, we'd share it together. You didn't keep your word..."

"How about..." Yang Ming touched his forehead, which was already covered in sweat, "you can eat this oolong fish yourself..."

"No way... What's the point of someone eating alone???" Wei Qingqing pouted even more.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Yang Ming asked with a pained expression.

"I want you to feed me..." Wei Qingqing said sweetly.

"No problem, I've loved feeding kittens and puppies since I was a child..." Yang Ming nodded repeatedly.

"You're so mean! Who are you calling a kitten or puppy???" Wei Qingqing pouted sweetly, pounding Yang Ming's chest with her little fists.

"Hehe..." Yang Ming put one arm around her shoulder, picked up the grilled oolong fish with the other, and brought it to Wei Qingqing's lips, "Wei little kitten, eat your fish..."

"How annoying..." Wei Qingqing blushed, punched Yang Ming's chest with her fist, opened her small mouth, and took a small bite on the fish.

"Is it delicious?" Yang Ming asked with a smile.

Looking through the small opening Wei Qingqing had made on the fish, the flesh was fresh and tender, white and smooth like jelly, plump and trembling, as if it were about to drip juice and ooze oil...

"It's alright..." Wei Qingqing nodded, "It's nowhere near as good as what Jixiang made..."

"Don't compare me to Jixiang, he's a professional..." Yang Ming said, bringing the fish close to Wei Qingqing's lips again.

"You eat..." Wei Qingqing pushed Yang Ming's wrist and brought the fish to his mouth. "We agreed to share a bite each..."

"You'll regret this..." Yang Ming grinned mischievously, making a gesture as if he were about to take a big bite, which immediately terrified Wei Qingqing.

"You're not allowed to eat it all..." Wei Qingqing hugged Yang Ming's wrists with both hands, looking at him pitifully.

"I ate it all..." Yang Ming chuckled and took a small bite of the fish.

"Phew..." Wei Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've noticed that our actions are like children playing house..." Yang Ming said somewhat awkwardly as he savored the fish.

"Let's be kids, let's play house. Anyway, it's just the two of us here. No one will see how childish or cheesy we are, hehe..." Wei Qingqing chuckled.

"Yeah... At home, you can run into people everywhere. If we dared to be this cheesy, we'd probably be made a role model and be remembered forever in Zhengjia Village..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"It's not as serious as you say, is it?" Wei Qingqing found it both funny and a little creepy.

"Yes, definitely..." Yang Ming nodded very solemnly, "It's a common problem in rural areas. If someone has an embarrassing story, it can be passed down as a joke for generations..."

"How scary..." Wei Qingqing said pitifully.

"Now you know how scary it is, right??? When you get back, you must change your ways..." Yang Ming said, gently kissing her forehead.

"Mmm..." Wei Qingqing nodded repeatedly.

"Hey... Is that a fishing boat?" A faint voice reached Yang Ming's ears. If Yang Ming hadn't been so good at hearing, he wouldn't have heard it at all.

"Hmm???" Yang Ming frowned, stood up, and looked around. He saw a small fishing boat moored where the sea met the sky... Of course, at such a distance, Yang Ming couldn't say for sure whether it was in motion or not.

"What's wrong???" Wei Qingqing didn't hear that voice.

"Help! Our boat is leaking..." The faint voice reached Yang Ming's ears again.

"Oh no, there's been an accident..." Yang Ming heard the voice clearly and shouted, quickly rushing into the cabin.

"What happened???" Wei Qingqing quickly followed her inside.

Uh...

With a soft whistle, the fishing boat slowly started up and then, like an arrow released from a bow, headed towards the boat that had the accident.

"What's wrong?" Wei Qingqing walked behind Yang Ming, watching him control the fishing boat, and asked softly.

"There's been an accident! A boat is leaking and is calling for help..." Yang Ming said anxiously.

"Don't worry, a leaky boat won't sink immediately, we still have time..." Wei Qingqing also realized the seriousness of the situation and said softly.

"I know..." Yang Ming nodded, "but saving lives is urgent, time is life, and perhaps a minute's difference could mean the loss of a life..."

"Hmm..." Wei Qingqing didn't disturb him any further, and just stood quietly behind him.

The fishing boat was fast, and in just five minutes, it had already approached the wrecked vessel. Through the surrounding display screens, Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing were surprised to find that the wrecked vessel was the same one that had taken them out to sea to fish last year. The grandfather and grandson, who were the owners of the boat, were standing on the deck, waving and shouting to them with joy.

boom……

With a muffled thud, Yang Ming's fishing boat gently bumped into the side of the distressed vessel. The boat rocked slightly from the impact. The grandfather and grandson, who made their living at sea year-round, were no match for the slight rocking. They took the opportunity to leap lightly onto Yang Ming's boat, thus escaping danger.

"Haha, old man, we meet again..." In high spirits, Yang Ming laughed heartily as he stepped out of the cabin... A successful rescue was naturally a cause for celebration...

"Huh???" The old fisherman blinked, looking closely... Actually, he recognized Yang Ming at first glance. "Little Yang???? Is it really you????"

There was a hint of surprise and disbelief in his tone.

"Is it Brother Yang???" The young man's eyes widened, his face full of surprise. "Brother Yang, it really is Brother Yang..." The young man had a deep impression of Yang Ming.

"That's me..." Yang Ming smiled slightly, "What happened to you two??? How did such a perfectly good ship get into an accident???"

"Hey..." The old fisherman immediately became heartbroken when he talked about his boat, pointing angrily at his grandson, "It's all this good-for-nothing brat's fault, he insisted on catching a shark, and now the shark has smashed a hole in the bottom of the boat..."

"Um..." The young man's face immediately turned red, "When I was catching sharks, weren't you encouraging me the whole time? It was your encouragement that kept me going..."

"You little rascal, are you trying to shift the blame onto me???" The old fisherman glared angrily, puffing out his beard.

"No way???" The young man firmly denied it, shaking his head vigorously. "I'm just telling the truth..."

"You believe I'll beat you up???" The old fisherman's eyes widened. "What I hate most in my life are cowards who do wrong and then lie about it, refusing to admit it..."

"If I admit what's mine and what's not mine, then I'm a fool..." the young man muttered.

"Hehe...Speaking of which, this ship accident wasn't your fault. Blame the shark; it was just blindly crashing into things..." Wei Qingqing, her belly protruding, walked out of the cabin with a smile. "Grandpa, long time no see!"

"Oh my..." The old fisherman was first surprised when he saw Wei Qingqing's appearance, then overjoyed, "You're going to be a mother???"

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing chuckled, "We've been married for almost a year..." If we don't get pregnant soon, it means neither of us knows if there's something wrong with our bodies.

"Hehe..." The old man glanced at Wei Qingqing's belly and smiled slightly, "What a blessing! Your belly is much bigger than that of an average pregnant woman, and it's not even regular in shape. It's probably a boy and a girl inside..."

"Huh???"

The old fisherman's words surprised the couple. Yang Ming asked, "Grandpa, you could tell?"

"Monteil..." The old fisherman chuckled, a smug look on his face. Yang Ming's reaction clearly told him that he had guessed correctly.

"Before Third Aunt gave birth, her belly was just like Yang's belly, it was irregular..." the young man muttered, revealing his grandfather's secret.
