Fang Chi rolled his eyes, he has heard the same speech all over again and again, and now it was to the point that he could remember everything that she has told him.  But that wasn't what the real reason was though, the real one was that —— she missed them so much that she was afraid that she might end up calling them back in case she started writing letters to them, so Yu Dong was simply ignoring the entire thing and acting like she was doing for their good when the truth was she was just trying hard not to be selfish. 

  　　"We are done!" shouted the children and right on point because Yu Dong wasn't liking the gaze that Fang Chi was shooting her like he knew what was going in her head but he was going to let it slide since she didn't want to talk about it. Call about having X-Ray vision, those women in the village were simply stupid when they said that mers were stupid and couldn't understand a thing, the thing was that they did understand everything they just played it safe. 

  　　"I am coming," she said as she stood up from the spot where she was sitting and held her hands out to Fang Chi who raised his brows at her. " What I am not the one who has the artistic streak here, it's you so get up."

  　　Fang Chi rolled his eyes, he did have an artistic streak but that was only limited to arranging flowers accordingly to their scents and colours nothing more. But he still took Yu Dong's hand and stood up from the ground and headed to the sand castle competition and of course, he understood why Yu Dong brought him with her —- she didn't want to be the villain alone. 

  　　Though the kids did a good job, in the end, they were still kids and they couldn't make anything that was half as good as Yu Dong's sand castle especially Little bun who just piled sand up and was sitting very proudly next to it. 

  　　He turned his head to look at Yu Dong who hurriedly looked away, seeing that she was looking away from him, he reached out his hand and pinched her waist. Hard, causing her to almost wince out loud. 

  　　But he still turned to look at the kids with a smile on his face as he said, " You all have done a good job, especially little bun——what did you make though? I mean just for the clarification of others who cannot understand." 

  　　" Abo hoo ho rohj," answered little bun and everyone turned to Yu Dong who rubbed the spot where she was pinched and rolled her eyes as she said, " A heap of rice." 

  　　" Wow, amazing!" clapped Fang Chi causing little bun's nose to twitch with pride. " The resemblance is truly uncanny, I have to say!" 

  　　Then he turned to Yu Mai and looked at the two doll-like figures he sculpted and asked, " What have you made, Mai?" 

  　　Yu Mai beamed as he pointed his shovel at the figure and said, " Sister Ruru promised that she will take me around the capital when I go there, so this is us walking around the city." 

  　　" That's—-"

  　　" Wait a minute?" said Yu Dong as she raised her brow questioningly. " Why are you two holding hands with each other? Why not walk as everyone else do?" 

  　　" That's how we walk," answered Yu Mai as if the answer was obvious.

  　　" No, you don't!" exclaimed Yu Dong suddenly feeling a threat rising in her heart as she snatched Yu Mai off the sculpture and seriously looked at him. " You do not walk hand in hand with anyone, you see? After the age of seven, you should stay away from girls even sister Ruru, no matter how nice she is or you will get bitten." 

  　　" I will get bitten?" shouted Yu Mai as he gasped at Yu Dong's words, what will happen—- and why will he be bitten.

  　　"That's right, if you don't want to be bitten by a crow for staying next to a girl, you don't hold hand with them until you are eighteen, no twenties." Yu Dong did her best as she brainwashed Yu Mai while Fang Chi watched his wife horrified, who said she was oblivious to everything? She was damn near instinctive and knew how to nip the bud before it bloomed and now she was even stopping Yu Mai from getting close to any women till his twenties what was this? Some sort of punishment? 

  　　" Dong Dong, that's enough, I think we have another job to do," Fang Chi stopped her before she moved the timeline to Yu Mai's thirties and caused years of suffering for their sister-in-law. 

  　　Fortunately, Yu Dong listened and then she let the matter drop as she placed Yu Mai back to his sculpture, who later on drew a line between the two figures for the sake of avoiding being bitten by a crow. 

  　　Fang Chi watched the proceedings and his wife's proud face before he shook his head. ' Really, his wife was the slyest of all.'
