The conversation between Yu An and Ying Jian was not going very well.
In the end, Ying Jian only told him, "Eat well, we'll call you when we leave."
He was determined to bring Yu An along; Yu An was very useful to him.
But it came with a burden named Xie...
Ying Jian suppressed his emotions, showing no emotion on his face. He didn't disturb Yu An and A10's meal any longer, and got up to leave.
No sooner had Ying Jian left than Qiu Qiu dropped her rice spoon.
"Big brother."
Chirp said pitifully, "Chirp can't eat."
Just now, Qiuqiu ate a few bites of the nutritional paste on the plate, and now her belly is round and full.
Yu An reached out and touched his stomach.
You can't just eat anything.
He picked out the most crucial question for Qiuqiu: "Qiuqiu, is the nutritional paste in the plate the same as before?"
When he said "before," he meant a long time ago.
Chiu Chiu understood and nodded: "It tastes the same as before, not good. It's not as good as Dr. Ruan's spicy strips."
It's not just Chiu Chiu; many mutants are now obsessed with the various flavors of nutritional pastes made by Ruan Ke.
To make the mutants like it more, Ruan Ke changed the nutritional paste to a biscuit shape, making the texture and flavor even richer.
"Big brother, do you want to eat?"
"I don't want to eat either."
After eating the fragrant bighead carp, eating these is such a huge letdown.
They packed a large and a small handful of food into the bag that Qiuqiu carried with her, and the two walked back together.
Ying Jian dislikes procrastination.
But with Yu An and Xie Chiyuan there, they managed to delay his time.
Night falls.
Ying Jian still didn't let everyone set off; they seemed to be having a meeting, and Yu An didn't see many people.
Inside the house.
Xie Chiyuan reported Ying Jian's creation of the traditional nutritional paste.
Ruan Ke said on the other end of the video: "Our nutritional paste orders have been increasing, while traditional nutritional pastes are nowhere to be found on the market."
Xie Chiyuan pondered: "He has already made a traditional nutritional paste, so it's impossible for him not to sell it."
So, who did he sell his nutritional paste to?
Xie Chiyuan was making a video call, while Yu An was playing with the baby octopus in the water beside him. As he was playing, Qiu Qiu came over, her little face mysterious: "Big brother, I have a secret to tell you."
"What secret?"
Chiu Chiu was so easy to coax. Yu An patted his head and overheard the secret: "Meow Meow is outside. He's here."
Chapter 109
Yu An really didn't know this little secret.
His eyes widened, and he glanced instinctively toward the door: "Is Meow Meow right outside us?"
Chiu Chiu nodded: "Outside."
He recognized Miaomiao's background when he was on the phone with her.
Yu An's first reaction was naturally to go see his cub, but before he could even get up, he remembered that he also had Tiger Cub's WeChat.
When Qiuqiu is making video calls, he often goes over and talks to Huzai for a while.
If the tiger cubs wanted to come find them, there would be no need for them to remain silent until now.
After thinking it over, Yu An calmed down.
Instead of rushing out to find the tiger cubs, he patted Qiuqiu's head and comforted her, "Good girl, let's go find Miaomiao after we've finished our business. Okay?"
Chirp nodded hesitantly.
Yu An pinched the tips of his wings and continued to coax him, "Our Qiuqiu is the best boy."
Yu An comforted Qiu Qiu, and Xie Chiyuan finished his phone call.
They slept a lot during the day, so they weren't sleepy for a while. The babies, especially Chiu Chiu, seemed very energetic.
Yu An had been observing Qiu Qiu's reaction. He lowered his voice and said to Xie Chiyuan, "When Qiu Qiu ate, he ate that traditional nutritional paste. I'm worried that he might have some adverse symptoms."
Traditional nutritional pastes have both advantages and disadvantages. Yu An doesn't expect his children to become stronger or more powerful; he just wants them to be safe and sound.
Xie Chiyuan casually pinched the back of his neck and comforted him, "Chiu Chiu has eaten this before, hasn't she? It should be fine, don't worry too much."
That's what they said, but Yu An's worries didn't lessen.
Chiu Chiu's body hasn't fully recovered, and we don't know when it will.
Yu An only thought about Qiu Qiu and didn't consider herself at all.
The night grew deeper.
Although none of them were sleepy, Xie Chiyuan still forced them to sleep: "You can't mess up your biological clock. If you don't sleep now, you'll be sleepy during the day tomorrow. If you sleep then, you won't be sleepy at night."
This kind of reversed schedule is definitely not good.
Yu An and the kids were coaxed into bed. It has to be said, the kids' sleep quality was excellent.
They were allowed to sleep, and surprisingly, they were all able to fall asleep.
Yu An and Xie Chiyuan listened to the babies' breathing, their eyes met, and they both smiled: "They look like piglets."
Xie Chiyuan chuckled softly, "I also have a little piglet in my arms."
When Yu An wakes up, he looks just like his piglets. One big and two small, they're all cut from the same mold.
The piglet in his arms was a bit fierce, biting his chin and whimpering, "I'm not a pig."
The two of them made very little noise, afraid of waking the babies.
Before going to sleep, Xie Chiyuan stroked Yu An's back and asked him, "Baby, how long will you be hungry after you eat me?"
"For several days."
Yu An honestly replied, "I have a very small appetite."
Xie Chiyuan smiled and said, "It's okay, we can afford to feed someone with a big appetite."
Yu An loves his blood, loves the people who love him; to him, they are all the same.
He kissed Yu An's face and sighed, "Baby, next time we go out, could we leave the babies with my dad and the others?"
He wanted to spend some time alone with Yu An.
Because of these children, his intimacy with Yu An felt like an affair, and he had to be constantly on guard.
Yu An hugged him tightly and agreed, her face flushed.
It was late at night.
Only the sound of breathing remained in the room, and Xie Chiyuan had fallen into a deep sleep.
The dim light was barely enough to make out a blurry figure. Yu An sat up silently. He didn't move, but instead used the light to look down at the person on the bed.
The kids are restless sleepers, and tonight even the octopus, who doesn't like soaking in water, climbed onto the bed.
The two babies were sleeping soundly, their mouths slightly open, looking quite at ease with their surroundings.
Xie Chiyuan has a very good sleeping posture; even when he's asleep, he's still so handsome that it's hard to look away.
Yu An watched them from the darkness.
The window was unconnected, but occasionally moonlight would peek in.
The bright moonlight illuminated Yu An's face, a face that was very cold. There was not a trace of gentleness on her face, only the sharpness of a blade.
The moonlight, oblivious to emotions, still struggles to shine its light.
Yu An sat on the bed, raised her hand, and touched the baby's little face: "Little Eight... Little Ten."
He murmured, and the baby whose body was being touched stirred, then seemed to sense a familiar presence and instantly relaxed.
Yu Anzai looked at the baby carefully, and after a while, his voice seemed a little dissatisfied: "So small."
Why haven't they grown up yet?
After looking at the baby, Yu An's gaze fell on Xie Chiyuan's face. His cold expression finally showed a barely perceptible fluctuation.
His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, he simply lowered his head and grasped Xie Chiyuan's wrist. There were no marks or any other traces on his wrist.
Just like his existence, he left no trace.
About 10 minutes later.
Suddenly, Chirp started whimpering, his little wings fluttering wildly, and his whole little face scrunched up: "It hurts."
His face was pale, and his eyelids and the corners of his eyes were red.
The chirping sound was very soft; he was crying out in pain.
Yu An picked him up the moment he uttered his first cry. Chiu Chiu felt his older brother's presence and offered no resistance.
He obediently wrapped his arms around his older brother's neck and was carried away by his older brother.
"My wings hurt."
Chirp nestled against Yu An's neck, its voice trembling with sobs. He was in so much pain that his panda pajamas were soaked with sweat.
Yu An skillfully massaged the base of his wings.
