Yu An was thinking about the future of his little ones, while the children around him had simpler thoughts. They were just thinking how wonderful it was to be with their big brother!
Time passed little by little.
On the day Yu An returned to the island, she got a mobile phone for Qiu Qiu. Initially, it was a children's phone, but it didn't have WeChat on it.
Under Qiuqiu's expectant gaze, Yu An only made a phone call.
As a result, Qiuqiu, with tears in his eyes, refused to answer the phone. Pointing at the phone, he pleaded, "Big brother, I want to see Miaomiao."
Because Qiuqiu still needed video recordings, Yu An had no choice but to upgrade his phone.
Thanks to the internet invented by humans, Yu An and Tiger Cub can see each other even though they are thousands of miles apart.
“Tiger Cub, that new boss in the East District doesn’t seem like a particularly honest person. Be careful in the East District, or you might get caught and used for experiments.”
The tiger cub grunted in response, "I know."
He's safe in the East District; nothing will happen to him.
After Yu An finished talking to Tiger Cub, Qiu Qiu took over. Qiu Qiu held her phone, sitting obediently in her chair, speaking to Miao Miao in a very proper manner.
"Meow, hello there."
Chuchu, making her first video call, began her novel video calling experience.
The big tiger on the other side looked at Chiu Chiu in the video, paused, and then replied in a deep voice, "Hello."
Chiu Chiu complained, "You haven't called my name yet."
The tiger paused for three seconds, then said again, "Chirp, hello."
Upon hearing this, Chirp happily swung its legs.
Yu An stopped participating in their conversation. He had his own phone, and on it were new messages from Xie Chiyuan.
Big Head: "We're almost there."
Big Head: "I expect to arrive tonight. I'll probably be very busy then, so go to sleep early and don't wait for me."
Big Head: "[Kiss]".
Looking at the little yellow bean emoji in the chat box, Yu An thought for a moment and then returned the favor by sending a bunch of emojis in return.
Not long after.
Their chat window was completely flooded with kissing emojis.
Pei Si, who was standing next to her, glanced over and accidentally saw their chat box. She felt like her eyes were going to go blind.
"Damn, Brother Xie, can you please not be so cheesy when you're talking about love?"
Pei Si, who had been single for many years, was quite provoked by this scene. He said resentfully, "Have you forgotten that you once said that even a dog wouldn't date?"
Xie Chiyuan narrowed his eyes, feigning amnesia, and said, "Really? I said that?"
Pei Sijian firmly stated, "You said that!"
Xie Chiyuan, holding his phone, chuckled, "If I can get a wife, I'll be a dog if I want."
Pei Si: "..."
Pei Si became withdrawn.
Lu Chao had told him before that he had a crush on a girl at the base, but he hadn't confessed yet.
Now, looking around, he is the only one who is all alone.
Xie Chiyuan continued chatting with Yu An on his phone, not even glancing at the withdrawn Pei Si, and only gave a perfunctory promise: "Don't worry, I'll try to find someone for you when I have time. I'll see if there are any good girls willing to rescue you, this single dog."
Pei Si hummed in response and reminded her, "You don't need to be too strict about my gender. I'm a looks-oriented person, the kind who judges by appearance."
He can accept anyone, whether they are male or female, as long as they are good-looking.
Pei Si continued, even going so far as to say, "For example, our little lucky charm is very good-looking. Brother Xie, can you find someone for me based on that standard?"
Xie Chiyuan finally looked up from his phone screen and said coldly, "Are you still dreaming?"
Even with his discerning eye, An'an's appearance was undeniably beautiful at first glance.
Is Pei Si after his An'an?
Xie Chiyuan hurried on his way. Without Yu An by his side, and with only Pei Si and the zombie old man, the journey was particularly boring.
Night falls.
Yu An lay down on the bed, where several cubs were lying haphazardly.
Now that Chiu Chiu is familiar with the other babies, she's willing to let them all sleep in the same bed.
"Hey bro, stop playing on your phone."
The little monster waved its tiny tentacles, still full of energy in the middle of the night. It wrapped its tentacles around Yu An's wrist: "Play with us!"
Yu An was unable to use his phone because of the little tentacles of the eight-headed monster, so he sat up helplessly.
"You little brat, look at the time! What time is it?"
"Only a little bit!"
Yu An took a deep breath. If he weren't waiting for Xie Chiyuan's message, he would have gone to sleep long ago, and he wouldn't have allowed the kids to stay awake.
The eight little ones were making a ruckus, while only Chiu Chiu and Little Butterfly were whispering to each other, head to head.
Yu An figured Xie Chiyuan wouldn't send any more messages, so he rubbed his eyes and put his phone on the bed: "Alright, big brother's done playing!"
"Everyone, close your eyes and don't say a word."
Yu An solemnly checked the children's closed eyes. After realizing they were having trouble sleeping, he pondered for a few seconds and then suddenly picked up his phone again.
"Dr. Ruan said today that you should learn more cultural knowledge, so we should start now to cultivate some good learning habits."
After Yu An finished speaking, he started playing English audio for them.
It's an introductory English nursery rhyme—
what are those/are those apples/no no no
The lyrics, repeating on and on, gently echoed in the child's ears.
Bazai tried to memorize the lyrics in a daze, but after less than two minutes of concentration, his once flamboyant little tentacles slowly fell down.
Chirp and Butterfly both fell asleep after resisting for only a few minutes.
Yu An listened until their breathing became even, but didn't turn off the audio. She'd play this for the kids all night; maybe they could learn something in their dreams.
With English listening practice as their companion, Yu An and her kittens slept soundly until noon the next day.
When they woke up, their cell phones were already off because they had run out of battery.
"Little ones, go wash up first, I'll be right there." Yu An dressed the little ones one by one and put them on the ground.
His room isn't actually that big, and with so many kids living there now, it's starting to feel a bit cramped.
Ruan Ke proposed that he be given a new room.
He hasn't agreed yet; his room is next to Xie Chiyuan's, and he doesn't want to change.
After washing up, Yu An went to the lab to help Ruan Ke. He would occasionally continue to participate in training on the island, and his former teammates had all taken on many missions.
Ruan Ke said that new students will be sent in soon.
Yu An was about to become a senior student without realizing it, and he happily promised, "I can train them then too!"
Ruan Ke smiled and agreed to let him be an intern instructor: "An'an, you've improved the fastest among all the trainees. When the new trainees arrive, you can give them a good talking-to."
Life on the island is comfortable and pleasant.
Yu An followed behind Ruan Ke, living a very fulfilling life day by day.
"Uncle Ruan, didn't we say we were going to find Dr. Ying Jian? So much time has passed, have the people we sent out found him yet?"
Yu An and Xie Chiyuan originally planned to go find Ying Jian themselves, but they were delayed by something, so the person who went to find Ying Jian was changed.
It's said that those who went there possessed supernatural abilities and were quite powerful.
Dr. Ruan thought for a moment and replied, "There is no trace of him yet. Ying Jian is Dr. Gu Ainan's student, and he still has traditional nutritional paste that supplies mutants. If we don't find such a person, he will be a great threat."
Yu An was naturally aware of this as well.
Thinking of Xie Chiyuan, who had been in the West District for several days, he suggested, "Uncle Ruan, when Xie Chiyuan comes back, why don't I go with him to look for him?"
He went out with Xie Chiyuan several times, and each time he gained something.
Regardless of whether there was actually a lucky charm buff, he felt that he and Xie Chiyuan could easily get things done when they went out.
Ruan Ke neither agreed nor refused: "Let's talk about it when Chi Yuan comes back."
Yu An nodded.
But for several days in a row, Yu An didn't receive a call from Xie Chiyuan.
Looking at his phone, which hadn't received any messages, he couldn't help but ask, "Is Da Tou planning a divorce?"
Chapter 94
Whether Da Tou wants a divorce is unknown, but the kids all seem to be on the verge of it.
Six and Nine have been recovering from their injuries, especially Nine, who usually only maintains his cub form. When Yu An wasn't around, he planted himself in a flowerpot.
The flowerpot contains nutrient-rich soil specially made by Ruan Ke, and the little mushrooms living in it all say it's great.
In the few days since Yu An returned, the little mushrooms that had been obsessively growing in the flowerpot have become unusually well-behaved and have stopped vying for attention. During these few days of quiet growth, the little mushrooms have gradually undergone a transformation.
The original white mushrooms became even more translucent, and as Bazai put it, "Little Nine looks even tastier!"
These grilled mushrooms will definitely taste even better than this!
The little mushroom that had become tastier also became stronger. It stuck back to Yu An's side, making up for all the time it had taken to get back to him these past few days.
at the same time.
Yu An was absentmindedly scrolling through his phone, still not having replied to the messages he had sent to Xie Chiyuan.
Pei Si replied to him.
