Me at two years old, a queen!

At first, An'an was digging around with a small plastic shovel, but after finding nothing, she followed her brother and helped pick it up.

While Qin Yanzhou was digging, she played with piling sand nearby, so her bucket remained empty, and Qin Yanzhou's bucket wasn't much either.

"Hey~, get out of here! This is our territory! Everything you dig up belongs to me!"

"This beach is public, not private, and everyone has the right to come and play here!"

When Qin Yanzhou lived in the Qin family before, only the old patriarch, out of gratitude for the four generations living under one roof, would sometimes show him any kindness as his great-grandson. How could the children who later rose to power in the Qin family possibly like the descendants of the first wife?

He was an unpopular figure in the Qin family and was often bullied by his uncle's younger sister. The other servants also opportunistically took sides with him.

In the past, he chose to endure it for fear of worrying his mother, but now he must stand up and protect his sister.

"I say so, so get out of here!"

An'an glanced at her brother who was protecting her in front: "No! Why should I listen to you!"

"Why should I? Because I can beat you!"

"You won't give it to me, huh? Then I'll beat you up and take the stuff!"

"Hurry up! Be smart and hand it over now!"

An'an felt her brother tighten his grip on her hand. She had a bad feeling. Looking at the boy who was a head taller than her brother, dark-skinned and strong, she and her brother seemed to be no match for him, but she couldn't back down!

"No way! You're a bad guy!"

Gao Zhaohe, who had always ruled this place like a king, looked at the doll-like child with his hair in a princess style and knew he was from out of town; he probably didn't even know who the child was.

More importantly, we don't even know where he lives, which makes things easier.

"Then you'll regret it."

"Give it to me, you think you can mess with me?"

He effortlessly pushed Qin Yanzhou down, poured the scattered items from the small bucket into his own, and then snatched the contents from the glaring, angry child's hand.

"Tch! Nothing special at all. Who would have thought someone so cute would be such a useless little brat! Hahaha~"

Hearing the mocking laughter, An'an swung her little shovel and threw it at the boy: "You bad guy, I'll beat you to death!"

Gao Zhaohe didn't mind and poked the little girl's cheek: "Oh~, you dare to hit me?"

An'an covered her cheek where she had been poked, and Qin Yanzhou, seeing this, became even angrier. He rushed forward, ready to throw a punch, but Gao Zhaohe just stood there, pushing one of them away with each hand.

An'an and her brother were pushed down and got up, then got up again, and this went on for several rounds.

Her hair was a mess, like a bird's nest, and her clothes were covered in sand—she looked pitiful. Qin Yanzhou was in the same state, and he was missing a shoe.

Gao Zhaohe's mocking expression deeply hurt both of them.

An'an looked at the rascal searching for seafood with an angry and depressed expression: "Brother, did we lose a fight?"

Qin Yanzhou assumed his sister was worried they'd get beaten up if they went back, so he comforted her, "Sister, it's okay. Just say I took you to fight when you get back."

An'an grabbed his hand and kept running forward, shouting, "No! I can't lose!"

"Brother, let's find someone even worse than him and beat him to death!"

----

"Dad~"

When Lu Junxing heard the sound and saw the two people running towards him hand in hand, his pupils dilated suddenly. He dropped the tools in his hand and strode towards them.

"Dad, I got into a fight, and I lost. Can you go and beat them up for me?"

An'an tried to pull the man away, but he stopped her and asked what was wrong. Qin Yanzhou didn't dare to hide anything and told her everything, but he didn't dare say, "My sister thinks he's even worse than the person who bullied them."

Seeing their pitiful state, Lu Junxing checked them to make sure they weren't injured. He then prepared to take them back to change their clothes, as it was windy there and they might catch a cold if they stayed in the wind any longer.

An'an wouldn't let her go, and stubbornly pulled Lu Junxing away to the other side, standing proudly in front of Gao Zhaohe: "You bad guy, I'll have my dad beat you to death!"

"Oh~, off to tattle, you tattletale!"

An'an was so angry that she was about to rush forward to hit him, but the man picked her up in one swift motion.

Seeing the man's sharp gaze, Gao Zhaohe looked up at him fearfully and said, "It was your child who threw my things first!"

"You're the one who stole our things!"

Qin Yanzhou's eyes turned red with anger as he recalled the humiliation of being suppressed earlier.

The man patted Qin Yanzhou's head and asked the boy, who was pouting and looking defiant, "Where's the stuff?"

He patted Qin Yanzhou on the shoulder again: "Go! Take it back!"

As Gao Zhaohe saw the bucket in his hand about to be snatched away, he was about to make a move when he felt the man's knife-like gaze. This was someone he couldn't afford to offend, and it seemed his whole day's work was about to be for nothing: "Heh~, what kind of skill is it to bully a child!"

"You were quite capable just now!"

Seeing Qin Yanzhou pick out his things and make a sarcastic remark, Lu Junxing led his men back. His heart had softened somewhat these past few days.

He glanced discreetly at the figure on the other side and gestured.

It was clear that the two children weren't injured, just dirty, so it was obvious the boy only wanted to steal something.

However, his belongings weren't so easy to take; it was just a small lesson. Otherwise, the sea would have been teeming with nutrients again.

After the group left, Gao Zhaohe hurriedly picked up his bucket. Feeling its weight, he was surprised to discover that the little boy had only taken a small portion of what was originally in his bucket.

He also walked in the other direction.

"Daddy~, you rascal!"

Lu Junxing's face darkened, and he slapped her on the buttocks with his big hand: "Shut up! If you repeat those words again, I'll sew your mouth shut!"

"Uncle! It looks like there really are people over there!"

Qin Yanzhou looked in the direction his sister was looking and saw a person in black lying there, unsure whether they were dead or alive.

Lu Junxing glanced in that direction and immediately covered An'an's eyes: "No, it's a black garbage bag, you're mistaken!"

Qin Yanzhou nodded as well: "Yeah! It's trash!"
