"Darling, Let us take a break for today, okay? With all the training we have done, we barely have any rest. Let's take a moment to unwind. We may never had a chance when the apocalypse arrive. "
Felicia suggested to her husband, hoping to have a leisure day. Aldrich took a look at his wife, and after thinking about it for a bit, nodded.
"Yes! "
Lili shouted exuberantly.
"Papa, Mama, Big brother, let's go have barbeque in the sea! Let's eat seafood! The space's small sea are filled with seafoods for sure!"
Lili suggested as she drooled. Alban, who was beside her, also looked at his parents with anticipation. Felicia laugh at the greedy look of the siblings as she agreed.
"Yes, yes, let's go have seafood barbeque."She tugged at her husband's arm.
"Go take a bath first, we're all sweaty." Aldrich ordered.
The moment Lili and Alban heard it, like two racers, they ran with a swish, racing against each other and competing for who will reach the bathroom first. And like always, everytime they have a completion, Alban wins.
"Big brother! "
Lili shouted and stomped her feet in a fit of pique, making faces at the closed bathroom door. Left with no other choices, she had to take a bath upstairs.
In fact, there is no difference to where they take a bath, but all of them especially like the bathroom in the first floor as it is bigger than all the bathrooms in the house, and with a lot of space, it is very comfortable to move around.
Lili walked upstairs then turned to her and Alban's bedroom. Even though there are four bedrooms and there is no need to share with Alban like they did in their outside small house, Lili like to hold Alban in her sleep and had form a habit out of it.
She can't sleep without Alban. Much to her father's dismay. When Aldrich put down his foot and assigned separate bedrooms for the two, Lili threw a tantrum and cried very loudly.
Aldrich hardened his heart, but it soon melted and became helpless against his daughter's pitiful, condemning glares and the obvious eye bags under her round, moist eyes.
Coupled with his wife's persuasion and Alban's silent protest with an eyebag of his own, and with the assurance that when they grew up("When will they grew up"Aldrich silently protested) that they will slept apart, Aldrich admitted defeat and consented to the two siblings sleeping together.
Lili entered the bedroom, rushing to the bathroom. A moment later, a refreshed Lili came out wrapped in a white towel, her skin glistening and flushed pink, with droplets sliding down her fair skin.
She threaded through the wooly white carpet as her jade feet rubbed against it, her toes curling a little as if to retain the soft feel.
She reached out to open the wardrobe, looking for clothes to wear.
The bedroom door opened suddenly, and Alban, wearing a black bathrobe drying his hair with a towel entered, turning around to close the door.
"Ah,Big brother, you finished taking a shower, are you going to take your clothes? Here. "
Lili gestured by walking a few steps backward to make way for her brother so he can have access to his personal wardrobe, not noticing that her Big brother's actions stopped for a moment as he took in her state of undress.
Alban awkwardly moved away his eyes. No matter how long they have been together, even sleeping together, Alban always avoid Lili when she takes a bath or change her clothes.
Lili maybe small right now, but she is still a girl. Alban, who had little contact with the opposite sex in his past life, feels embarrassed being in an intimate situation with Lili.
He cleared his throat. Why did it suddenly felt dry?
With record speed, Alban took out a pair of clothes and without a word, slammed the bathroom door to change in there. Lili was puzzled by her big brother's action, but shrugged it away and putting on her clothes in a hurry, anticipation in her heart at the thought of the feast they are going to partake.
After finishing changing on simple outdoor clothing, the two of them went downstairs to wait for their parents while preparing what they will need for the picnic.
The wait took them more than thirty minutes.
"Papa, Mama, what took you so long? I'm now starving to death~."Exaggerated Lili, clutching her small belly as she complained to her tardy parents.
Felicia blushed then tighten her lips, her hand sneakily going to her husband's waist as she pinched it. Aldrich's smiling contented face remained unchanged as he patted his wife's hand as he said.
"Nothing dear,your mother and I just have an indeep conversation. "He rakishly said. His wife's pinching felt like tickles to him.
His innuendo flew over his daughter's head. Lili tilted her head, wondering what her parents talk about.
Alban twitch his lips as he looked with contempt at his father. He is inexperienced, but he is not a fool.
Felicia went⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
Felicia dragged her shameless husband. She really want to twist him to death! He is teaching unsuitable things to their children:;(∩´﹏`∩);:
Lili and Alban looked at each other, then followed their parents to the hover car, ready to go the the sea.
The hover car slowly raised from the ground, turning to face the mountains, then began to move forward with gathering speed.
The hover car flew over the pastures, the stream, the fields. The smell of grass and SIL wafted over the open car window as the Lu family all had satisfied faces as they inhaled it. They flew above trees laden with fruits as they approach the sea, the air carried the unique salty smell the the sea.
The hover car descended gently on the sandy beach. The courageous ignorant baby crabs peek and gathered around the hovering car, rushing to the sea when the car doors opened and four people step out.
Aldrich stretched his waist, putting his hands at his hips as he took a deep breathe. Felicia copied him.
The two hungry children ignored their parents, taking out their fishing devices and big basins and buckets, then head to the sea, preparing to catch prey. Their parents are unreliable and they have to feed themselves.
"Lobsters, Fishes, crabs, shrimps, oysters, slurp~"Lili chanted as her eyes glisten with greed .
Alban also gulped as he listened to his sister's chanting, throwing out the fishing device set to capture lobster.
The two work hard,capturing many kilos of big fishes and large lobsters. They also scoured around the beach, harvesting lots of shellfishes, octuposes and others such as urchin. They have lots of preys as the seafood in the sea accumulated unattended in the past three years .
Alban and Lili triumphantly returned with their prizes, skillfully setting up the barbreque rack,eating utensils, and condiments needed for cooking. Aldrich and Felicia at this moment was lying on beach chairs, sipping on wine while flirting with each other.
The brother and sister worked tacitly. They are already used to it. It seems the roles are reversed. The children have to cook for their parents.
Aldrich's excuse was that they have to learn.
The barbeque rack gradually heat up, Alban cleaned the seafood and seasoned them while Lili is putting them one by one on the rack and turning them.
Aldrich and Felicia moved to the table, awaiting their children's service.
