Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Qin Huan looked at Huo Jinnan, without speaking.

Huo Jinnan’s face was very tense, "Did you hear me?"

Seeing their father’s displeased expression, Xiaoqi and Xiaoliao worried that he would scold their mother. Their small voices were somewhat hoarse, yet still childish, "Mom, quickly tell Dad you heard him and promise not to go into the water again."

Qin Huan looked at Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi, seeing their concerned eyes, her heart softened, "I understand."

Huo Jinnan shifted his gaze from her to Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi, "Stay here and take care of your mom, I’m going to look for your brother."

Xiaoliao said, "Xiaoliao wants to go find brother too."

Huo Jinnan turned his head back, his gaze firm, "Stay here with your sister and mom."

Xiaoliao, "Oh, got it."

Huo Jinnan turned and left, quickly diving into the water.

Qin Huan watched his figure, looking at the waves behind him, hoping to find Xiaowei and the others soon.

...

Not until dusk, when the sun sank into the ocean, did Huo Jinnan return with the captain, carrying the unconscious Nini.

Nini’s hair was wet, continuously dripping water.

Qin Shaonan and Qiao Qiao watched, their hearts twisting tightly.

Huo Jinnan placed Nini by the fire, "Qiao Qiao, you’re the most knowledgeable in medicine here. She shouldn’t have drowned, she was found floating on the sea, probably fainted from shock."

Qiao Qiao nodded, not speaking, and began to administer first aid to Nini.

A group of people sat nearby, not speaking, their breathing growing increasingly tense.

Xiaoshi’er and Xiaowei still haven’t been found, Yan Xiaoxi is also missing, and Huo Bei and Yu Zimu are not back yet.

As night grew deeper, the temperature dropped further, and even a bonfire couldn’t warm everyone.

Jin Bo did not wake up, and Nini remained unconscious.

Qin Huan held Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi, Huo Jinnan held her, the family snuggling together for warmth.

Wen Nuan held Xiaoshi and Xiaoshiyi, Qin Shaojin held Wen Nuan.

On one side, Qin Shaonan held Qiao Qiao and their daughter, as well as Xiaobei.

On another side, the captain kept Jin Bo warm.

Apart from the children, none of the adults could sleep.

Not until midnight did Huo Bei and Yu Zimu return, carrying Xiaoshi’er, but there was still no sign of Xiaowei and Yan Xiaoxi.

Xiaoshi’er was injured, with bloodstains on his arm, but he’s conscious.

Wen Nuan watched, her heart aching, holding him by the fire.

From start to finish, no one spoke, only the sound of breathing was heard.

Huo Bei wanted to go back to search again. Huo Jinnan glanced at the sea surface, speaking up, "There will be waves coming soon, rest for tonight, we’ll search again tomorrow."

Huo Bei looked at Huo Jinnan.

Now only the young master and Xiaoxi haven’t been found.

He approached, standing by Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan said, "Tomorrow, I’ll go out with the captain to search."

Huo Bei, "Okay, sir."

Huo Jinnan turned his gaze to Qin Huan in his arms, "Sleep now, tomorrow you need to take care of Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi."

Qin Huan looked up at Huo Jinnan, leaned against his chest, and closed her eyes.

Huo Jinnan kissed her forehead, his voice low and mellow, "Don’t worry, Xiaowei will be fine."

Qin Huan, with eyes closed, gave a quiet "Mm" as tears rolled down from the corner of her eye.

Feeling the damp on the back of his hand, Huo Jinnan kept silent, gently wiping her tears dry.

...

Early next morning, as the sun rose over the sea, lighting the water half blue, half red.

Qin Huan awoke, not seeing Huo Jinnan or Huo Bei, nor the captain. She noticed Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi still sleeping soundly and lightly kissed their foreheads without making a sound.
