Chirp was extremely frustrated.
Seeing this, Yu An picked up Qiu Qiu and whispered, "It's okay, Qiu Qiu, you can make video calls like before."
Chiu Chiu perched on Yu An's shoulder, looking at the tiger cub with pitiful eyes.
It didn't take too long.
Yu An and his group left. They had previously been so confident they could get Ying Jian's cub, but now they acted as if nothing had happened.
What should I do? I don't know.
Ying Jian, who had been confident that he could be rescued after entering the East District, only realized what had happened when he was taken away again.
"impossible!"
Ying Jian roared incredulously, "The East District would never abandon me! A01 would never abandon me! What have you done?! What have you done?!"
Xie Chiyuan looked at his pathetic state and said casually, "We didn't do anything. An'an just beat up 01 and made 01 admit his mistake."
Ying Jian was in a daze until the very end.
Xie Chiyuan locked him up and continued on his way.
He took Ying Jian back to the West District, but he himself accompanied Yu An to the small island first. There were still children left behind on the island waiting for their older brother.
Yu An was also puzzled: "Why would Dr. Tang mention Little Butterfly's physiology class to me?"
Is this a sarcastic remark implying that their child is a poor student who lacks this kind of education?
Chapter 122
Although Xie Chiyuan and Tang Yi have known each other for a long time, they have had very few calm and peaceful conversations.
Dr. Tang's lifelong dream was to become a veterinarian, so Xie Chiyuan, as a patient, was naturally outside his preferred profession. Having known each other for many years, they were probably the most unfamiliar of acquaintances in the world.
"The guy surnamed Tang has a rather eccentric personality, so you don't need to take what he says to heart."
After Xie Chiyuan finished speaking, he looked back at the cubs. Without the tiger cubs, Bazai was indeed able to get Qiuqiu to play with him again.
He looked at Tan Zhan again, puzzled: "Tan Zhan, aren't you busy with business? Why are you running around with us like this?"
Tan Zhan said calmly, "Yes, I'm used to working remotely."
Xie Chiyuan: "..."
Xie Chiyuan sighed, "You've had it tough too. When I have time, I'll try to persuade Qi Zai for you."
Tan Zhan didn't want to accept his sympathy, so after Xie Chiyuan sighed, Tan Zhan casually added, "No need, Qibao is a bit too active during the day, but he's quite well-behaved at night."
When Tan Zhan said "well-behaved," he wasn't referring to Qi Zai's personality. He was saying that he and Qi Zai at least had a nightlife.
Xie Chiyuan, who has never had a full night out, immediately frowned and refused to continue the topic.
Upon arriving at the island, someone quickly came to pick us up.
Instead of taking a boat, Bazai plunged straight into the water. The tiny octopus quickly grew to the size of a tiger, and then excitedly waved his little tentacles, knocking on the cabin.
"Big brother! You stinky chicks! Do you want to sit on me?"
The octopus showed off its enlarged body and tiny tentacles: "I can even fasten your seatbelts!"
Little Touch brand seat belts – you can trust them!
Yu An wasn't very interested in sitting on the octopus; he was afraid it would make him seasick. But Qiu Qiu was sucked in by the octopus's two most powerful tentacles and then wrapped around its body.
"rush!"
The octopus splashed water, carrying the still somewhat bewildered Chiu Chiu, and swam towards the sea.
Seven, sitting next to his older brother, saw this scene and asked, "Big brother, Eight is acting recklessly. Should we call him back? So he doesn't crash later."
Yu An also sat outside looking at the sea. He smiled and said, "How could a fish capsize in the sea? Ba Zai isn't that stupid."
Their eighth son is just a little bit dim-witted, but he's not stupid.
Seventh Brother sat next to his older brother, while Xie Chiyuan and Tan Zhan were both on the boat. The two seemed to be chatting, but the conversation was dull and almost pointless.
"Seven, are you and Tan Zhan dating?"
Yu An had been curious about this for a long time; he truly couldn't understand the way Qi Zai and Tan Zhan interacted. It was precisely because he didn't understand it that he hadn't rashly interfered in their relationship.
Seven puffed out his cheeks and complained, "He forcibly took from me!"
Yu An: "..."
Really? I didn't notice.
Seven thought for a moment, then added, "He doesn't respect me either!"
Yu An: "?"
Yu An frowned. Tan Zhan seemed to treat Qi Zai quite well, but if he really didn't respect people, then they couldn't keep him.
His expression turned serious, and he began to interrogate Qi Zai carefully: "Tell me, how did he disrespect you?"
Seven grabbed his older brother's clothes and, after a few seconds of hesitation, replied, "He doesn't care what I say; he only does what he wants."
Yu An: "Be more specific?"
Seven continued to hold back, and after a while, his face was almost turning pale, before he finally managed to utter a word he had misspoken and gave his older brother an example: "For instance, I already said I didn't want to sleep right now, but he insisted that I sleep now. You tell me, he's very disrespectful to me?"
Yu An was stunned.
Seven couldn't say much to his older brother because it was he, the opportunist, who first started the affair with Tan Zhan. In the end, after he'd had his fill of recklessness, he found himself unable to leave.
If I say too much, I might just give myself away.
He still wants to be the good son in his older brother's eyes, and he can't let his image fall apart.
Yu An watched as he gave several examples, but they all seemed to be trivial details. As he spoke, Qi Zai buried his head in his older brother's lap, deciding to throw a tantrum: "Big brother, I don't care, I want to find someone else! I want to find a second spring!"
Yu An remained silent.
After a while, he lifted Qi Zai's head and lectured him: "Zai Zai, your thinking is very wrong. We can't be so fickle when we're in a relationship. Besides, one partner is enough. We can't go looking for a second one."
Seven didn't speak, and it was unclear whether he had listened or not.
After a while, Yu An saw that they were almost at their destination, and he prepared to call Ba Zai back.
"Ba Zai!"
Yu An called out to the sea, and as soon as Ba Zai entered the water, it was as if he had returned to his happy old home. He was carrying Qiu Qiu, who was nearby just moments before, but had now disappeared without a trace.
Yu An called out several times, but Ba Zai didn't swim back.
His throat was a little dry, and he looked like he was about to get a sore throat.
Seven loves playing with Chiu Chiu, but doesn't like playing with Eight. Seeing that Eight wasn't coming back, Seven started stirring things up without any politeness: "Chiu Chiu is a bird, not a fish, and can't swim. Big brother, do you think Eight might have thrown Chiu Chiu into the water? He hit Chiu Chiu before."
Yu An pinched his cheek in annoyance: "Why do you always want to mess with Ba Zai? He won't throw Qiu Qiu into the water."
Seven snorted: "That's hard to say."
Yu An couldn't worry about resolving the feud between the cubs right now; he had to hurry and pull the eight cubs out of the water.
“I remember there was a loudspeaker on the ship.”
Yu An instructed Qi Zai: "Qi Zai, go and get the loudspeaker."
Seven said "Oh," then found the loudspeaker used on the boat and handed it to his eldest brother.
With a megaphone in hand, Yu An raised it high and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ba Zai, it's time to come back!!!"
After calling for another five or six minutes, Xie Chiyuan and Tan Zhan, who were sitting on the boat, were called out. Xie Chiyuan even brought out water.
Yu An gulped down the entire glass of water, and her throat finally felt a little better.
"What's going on? Why haven't Bazai and Qiuqiu come back yet?"
"No."
Yu An had been calling for so long without getting a response, and his expression had become somewhat serious: "This shouldn't be the case. Even if Ba Zai didn't want to come back, Qiu Qiu wouldn't have stayed outside for so long."
Xie Chiyuan looked at the sea, but there was no sign of Ba Zai.
Unlike Yu An, who used a megaphone to call for help, he directly called the people on the island: "Start a sea search; Bazai and Qiuqiu are missing."
It has to be said, their chick is really unlucky.
He went out alone to look for his older brother, and got lost twice already. Now, his nephew is dragging him down to ride the fish, and he still gets lost while swimming.
If these experiences happened to other people, they would probably make them socially anxious as well.
The island monitored the sea around the clock, and soon news came that a video clip had been sent to Xie Chiyuan's phone.
Xie Chiyuan and Yu An both clicked to watch at the same time.
In the video, Bazai steadily and freely led Qiuqiu around. Qiuqiu, who was initially nervous, gradually relaxed.
The two cubs were originally swimming near the big ship, but as they swam, the eighth cub became bolder. It began to explore the more distant areas little by little.
Logically speaking, as long as he can swim back, it doesn't matter if it's a bit far.
But in the video, the baby pig didn't swim back at all.
He stopped behind a rock, and then he put Chiu Chiu on the rock and said something to her.
Chiu Chiu waved to him and watched him sink into the sea.
Xie Chiyuan paused the video after seeing this spot. The video could be zoomed in, and Xie Chiyuan zoomed in on one part, pointing it out to Yu An.
“Look here, there’s something in the water talking to Bazai.”
Even after Xie Chiyuan zoomed in, it was still blurry. But both of them could vaguely make out a certain outline from the blur.
"You look somewhat familiar."
Yu An stared at the blurry shadow, studying it carefully for a long time before finally confirming, "This is a bighead carp."
The big-headed fish that came to the island before to snatch him away.
After Yu An said that, Xie Chiyuan also saw a familiar shadow.
The two studied each other head to head for a while, but they really couldn't figure out where the big-headed fish was taking the baby eight.
