Chapter 19 Catching Crabs in the Shallows

Han Yi held Xiao Xin's hand and walked behind everyone.

After choosing and selecting enough ingredients along the way, the landlord said with a smile, "Little bastard, if it's not enough, add more. Don't say Uncle Wang is stingy."

Xiaoxin could see that the owner of the house was a simple person, a typical cheerful uncle.

"It's still early, you young people can have fun by yourselves. I'll go back and get ready. Remember to come back early for dinner."

The landlord was about to go back after saying this, but when he saw the baskets of seafood, he was not worried yet and a young man volunteered.

"Uncle Wang, let's get the ingredients back for you first, and come back later."

A few young men started working immediately, each of them running hurriedly with a basket in their arms.

"You bastards, wait for me," the homeowner ran after them.

"Let's go, Han Xin, to the shallows to play"

Yuan'er and the other friend each held a small bamboo basket in their hands, which they had just bought from an acquaintance.

In the shallows, many people were barefoot, bent over, playing and catching seafood.

When Yuan'er and his friends arrived, they started taking off their shoes. A group of people stepped into the water with small bamboo baskets, and there was immediately a lot of noise.

Xiaoxin also took off her shoes and socks excitedly, and Han Yi helped her roll up her trouser legs to her knees.

Xiao Xin saw him take off his shoes and socks, and frowned slightly, "Your injury is not healed yet."

"I want to accompany you." Han Yi rolled up his trouser legs, took her hand and walked into the shallows.

"Wow, the water is so cold" she winced.

"I'll carry you"

Xiaoxin slapped his hand away as he was about to move and walked towards Yuaner and the others.

"Han Xin, come quickly, there are so many shrimps and crabs"

Xiao Xin didn't care whether he was in the water or not, and ran over quickly.

"There are so many, Yuan'er, can you give me one bamboo basket?"

"No problem, here you go." Yuan'er immediately handed her the bamboo basket in her hand, which contained the shrimps they had just caught.

"Thank you" Xiaoxin was not polite. When someone gives you sincerity, there is no need for a hypocritical reply.

Xiaoxin chatted and laughed with them while catching seafood, and soon she memorized their nicknames.

The young men who helped the landlord move the seafood also came, and they started a competition to see who could catch more.

Xiao Xin was wearing a light pink sweatshirt and simply rolled up his sleeves into short sleeves. He was full of energy and the shrimps ran very fast. He kept his hands in the water but didn't catch many after a long time.

"Ayi, put down the bamboo basket and come over to help me hold it aside," Xiao Xin directed the man who had been following him.

Han Yi smiled, put down the bamboo basket, stood in one position each, put two baskets in the water, and hunted a shrimp together.

"Hurry, hurry, don't let it run away"

"Over there, over there"

"I caught him, I caught him, Ayi, did you see it?"

Xiaoxin held the shrimp in her hand, her smile was like a flower blooming in spring, and she was as excited and happy as a child.

When Han Yi saw her clear and warm smile, he also smiled happily, and even his brows relaxed a lot.

"Han Xin, come here quickly, there are a lot of crabs here," the young man named Xiao Xiong shouted to Xiao Xin.

"Here it comes." Xiao Xin pulled Han Yi and ran. A lot of water splashed on his trouser legs, but he didn't care much.

"Han Xin, be careful when catching crabs, don't get caught by their claws," Yuan'er reminded.

Nodding and agreeing "I know"

Everyone worked hard, and it was easier to get work done with more people, and soon they caught a lot of people.

Xiao Xin ran around everywhere, grabbing things here and there, and Han Yi followed her with a bamboo basket.

"Oh!" Xiaoxin and Yuaner cried out at the same time.

Yuan'er's hand was pinched by the crab's claws, and he screamed while holding the crab on his index finger.

Xiao Xin looked speechlessly at the toes pinched by the crab's claws. He raised his foot and stared at the crab, wanting to cry but without the tears.

Han Yi was a step slower, and hurriedly went forward to embrace her, and was about to put her feet in the water.

"Don't move, take a picture for me," Xiao Xin stopped him.

Han Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he shook his head and took a picture of her with his mobile phone.

"Stop playing around, you two. Be careful or your toes will be cut off. Yuan'er, you don't want your fingers anymore," the young man named Dashan shouted.

Xiaoxin and Yuaner put their hands and feet into the water and stayed still, and the crabs automatically loosened their claws.

"Han Xin, don't you feel pain?" Yuan'er asked.

Xiao Xin turned her head and looked over and said, "It hurts!"

Everyone was speechless. You two are still playing while it hurts.

Being pinched by a crab was really painful and it was bleeding. Suddenly I remembered something and quickly lifted my foot up.

Han Yi also reacted instantly. He grabbed the crab that was clamping her, led her hand around himself, and carried her towards the beach.

"What's wrong?" Dashan asked. Wasn't he fine just now?

Xiao Xin laughed and said, "I got bitten and bled. You guys catch them first. I'm going to sit on the beach."

Everyone(ー_ー)!!

Very speechless.

Xiaoxin's foot was bitten and the bleeding only lasted for a moment, but the wound healed immediately. However, the crab that sucked her blood had to be dealt with, and no clues could be missed.

Han Yi walked to the shore, smashed the crab into pieces, and buried it in the soil under the bushes.

He walked back and sat down beside her, wiped the sand off her feet, rubbed her cold feet before putting on shoes and socks for her.

"Cold?"

Xiao Xin glanced at him with a half-smile, "I'm cold, do you have any clothes for me?"

Han Yi put his arm around her shoulders and brought her into his arms. He held her cold hand and placed it against his lips to warm it.

Xiao Xin leaned on his shoulder, opened her mouth to say something, but in the end said nothing, her eyes looking into the depths of the sea.

He held her in his arms and they also looked into the deep ocean. Neither of them said anything, and no one knew what they were thinking.

In the shallows, Yuan'er and a few others looked at the perfect couple snuggling together on the beach. It was like a beautiful painting that was unforgettable.

Yuan Er suddenly asked, "Do you think he is Han Yi?"

Dashan smiled meaningfully, "What does it matter? They are just Han Xin and Xiao Yi now."

When everyone thought about it, it suddenly dawned on them that if they swapped their surnames, it would be Han Yi, right? As for the fairy-like girl, her name might be Xiao Xin.

The young men exchanged glances and continued doing what they were doing.

Not long after, the young people happily walked back to the beach with their bamboo baskets.

Xiao Xiong was just about to call Xiao Xin to see the shrimps and crabs they caught, but Han Yi turned around and made a prohibiting gesture.

He picked up the sleeping Xiao Xin in his arms and signaled the young men to lead the way.

Everyone stopped fighting and Yuan'er walked quietly in front, leading the way.

The young men walking behind Han Yi looked at each other in bewilderment. They truly felt that this man was very cold, but he was very caring towards Han Xin. Even a blind person could see his affection for her.

Xiao Xin woke up as soon as the young men approached. Her perception and sharpness were developed since childhood, and she could wake up immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

Dozing with her eyes closed, she really missed his embrace and the minty fragrance on his body. They might be separated in a few days, and she was reluctant to leave.

He held her steadily, like a mountain protecting a fragile flower, his eyes filled with protective determination and doting warmth.

It took about half an hour to walk from the beach to the owner's house. The young people were full of admiration for Han Yi's physical strength.

Xiao Xin almost fell asleep again. His head was dizzy and his eyes were a little blurry when he opened them.

"Are you awake? Are you coming down?" Han Yi asked softly.

She nodded. When she didn't use her brain, she felt a little confused and almost lost her direction.

"Be careful, this way." Han Yi smiled at her confused and cute look, took her hand, and walked in the opposite direction.

The owner of the house saw the large group coming and greeted them warmly, "Come in and sit down. Don't be polite, Yuan'er. Eat some fruits and melon seeds first. The meal will be ready soon."

"Han Xin, have you ever eaten this? It's a unique fruit in our town, called cantaloupe. And this sweet potato, I'll peel one for you to try," Yuan'er introduced to her enthusiastically.

"Okay, thank you, Yuaner," Xiaoxin, a foodie, responded happily.

Yuan Er smiled embarrassedly and rubbed his head. "Don't be so polite."

Little Bear handed her the dried fruit plate and said, "Han Xin, try this first. Aunt Wang fried the melon seeds herself, and there are dried potatoes that have been dried in the sun."

"Then I'm welcome." Xiao Xin took the dried fruit plate and put it on the table. He tasted a dried potato first, which was sweet and chewy. He then grabbed a few melon seeds, which were crispy and delicious.

"Ayi, try it." Xiaoxin took a potato chip and put it to Hanyi's lips.

Han Yi didn't even reach out his hand, he just took a bite of the potato chips from her hand and ate them.

When Xiao Xin saw him finish eating, she said, "It's delicious, isn't it?"

"Yeah," Han Yi nodded.

She fed the remaining half of the potato stalk into his mouth, and then took another one and started eating it herself.

Han Yi grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the dried fruit plate, peeled them, and handed them to her.

She spread out her hands and took them, eating them slowly one by one.

The young people suddenly felt that they were redundant and should not be here. They should go to the kitchen with Yuan'er.
