Tiger cub: "..."
The tiger cub's eyelids twitched, and he refused, "No, that's too much."
Chiu Chiu pouted, lowered one hand, and reluctantly asked, "Can I have it five times a day?"
The tiger cub continued to refuse: "No, too much."
Chirp: "..."
Chiu Chiu was on the verge of tears, turned around and hugged her older brother, too heartbroken to speak.
Seeing the heartbroken Qiuqiu, Yu An had no choice but to talk to Hu Zai on his behalf: "Hu Zai, how many times a day can you fight with Qiuqiu? You know, he usually plays with Xiao Qi and Xiao Zhu Zhi. Now that Xiao Qi and Xiao Zhu Zhi aren't here, besides me, you're his favorite person."
Tiger Cub originally wanted to say once every 10 days, but looking at this crybaby, he softened his tone and said, "Let's do it once every three days."
Chirp: "!"
Chiu Chiu hugged her older brother tightly, her eyes brimming with tears, and said in a huff, "Chiu Chiu, don't call anymore! I won't call even once!"
Yu An: "Sigh."
Yu An looked at the tiger cub again.
Hearing Qiuqiu's cries and glancing at his older brother's troubled expression, the tiger cub continued to back down: "Three times a day. Once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening. That's my bottom line."
Three times a day.
Yu An thought this was alright, and he used it to coax Qiu Qiu, finally managing to appease her.
People have been sent from the island to pick up Yu An.
Before anyone arrived, Yu An and the two cubs looked out at the sea.
Although Tiger Cub didn't talk much, he kept Yu An from feeling awkward. He talked to Yu An about the other cubs, not mentioning 01, but bringing up 03 and 04.
Just like the aberrations in the low sequence often fight, there has never been harmony among them.
Previously, his relationship with 01 wasn't good, but now they've temporarily reconciled.
I will let you know if I hear anything about Xiao Qi.
The tiger cub said, "You don't need to worry too much about 02, 03, and 04. There's an 80% chance that 03 is sleeping, and the other two won't get into any trouble either."
The tiger cub was comforting Yu An.
Of the children currently missing, only Xiao Qi's safety is uncertain. The others only put others in danger, not themselves.
Even Xiaoqi is an A-series mutation, so she won't encounter too many dangers.
With the tiger cub's comfort, Yu An's heart gradually calmed down.
"Tiger cub, if you want to find me, you can come to the island anytime." Seeing a boat approaching in the distance, Yu An hugged the tiger cub tightly.
The tiger cub was held in his arms, and closed its eyes briefly.
"Big brother, if you encounter any grievances, you must tell me." The tiger cub whispered to him, "I and the other cubs will always protect you."
Yu An nodded vigorously, and he also instructed the tiger cub: "Little one, you should do the same. If anyone bullies you, just tell your big brother, and he will protect you."
In this world, reciprocal affection is never just romantic love, but also includes the equally profound familial love.
The ship's horn sounded.
The tiger cub took two steps back; he was about to leave.
Yu An stared at him without blinking, and Qiu Qiu couldn't help but reach out her hand to him: "Meow meow, don't go."
One person, one chirp, and one tiger.
They stared at each other silently for a long time, until finally, a tiger's roar pierced the sky. Before the ship could reach them, the tiger completely disappeared from their sight.
"An'an!"
The people on the boat jumped off and rushed towards him, shouting, "An'an, are you alright?! Was there a tiger here just now?!"
Song Jun, who came to pick up the person, looked in the direction the tiger had left, unsure whether he was seeing things.
He wanted to go after them to see what was happening, but he was afraid of delaying the pick-up of Yu An to the island.
"You don't need to worry about it. My little one came to see me off." Yu An didn't let Song Jun chase after him. Song Jun has superpowers, and if he gets into a fight with the tiger cub, no one knows what the consequences will be.
At Yu An's request, Song Jun hesitated for a few seconds before taking him onto the boat.
The boat sped up and arrived at the island half an hour later.
Yu An, carrying Qiu Qiu and several bags of documents, returned home with a full load. The children heard the news as soon as he got back.
Bazai is in Dr. Ruan's lab. He's a temperamental little guy who's gotten into quite a few fights on the island these past few days. To keep an eye on him, Dr. Ruan simply put him by his side.
After waiting in vain for his older brother, Xiao Jiu tried every means to persuade everyone to take him out.
This cunning little mushroom almost managed to escape several times.
In the end, he met his end in Dr. Ruan's laboratory. Dr. Ruan gave him a flowerpot filled with special soil, which was similar to nutrient paste.
It's even easier for mushrooms to absorb than nutritional paste.
As for the flying butterfly, Dr. Ruan handed it over directly to Dr. Tang. Everyone knew how much Dr. Tang valued the little butterfly.
The kittens were all being looked after. Although Dr. Ruan hadn't managed to get them to escape, he was still quite tired after taking care of them for so many days.
at night.
Dr. Ruan and Yin Qin, who rushed over, both said, "These kids are hard to manage. I don't know how much effort An'an put into raising them."
Yin Tan didn't know either.
The couple talked about Yu An and her deformed form as if they were having a casual chat.
Yin Tan even said, "Yu An is able to come to our East District and stay here, which means we are the ones who benefited."
Dr. Ruan smiled and agreed with this statement.
"Mr. Song, my little one—"
Yu An, who had just arrived on the island, was about to ask her little one a question. Before she could finish, the little one ran straight towards her.
Yu An's pupils suddenly contracted for a moment.
He didn't see the baby's surprise, but rather his fear.
His silly little rascal, his little tentacles are showing!!!
Chapter 93
An eight-legged creature ran towards us, its tiny tentacles flying everywhere.
Yu An wasn't horrified by the scene; after all, he was used to seeing his little one in all its forms. If there were no outsiders around, he might even have praised its cuteness.
But now, Song Jun is standing right next to him!
Yu An's brain raced. After looking at Ba Zai for a few more seconds, he stopped holding Qiu Qiu's hand, turned to the side, and slapped Song Jun's eyes shut. His mind went blank with anxiety: "Close your eyes!"
Song Jun obediently closed her eyes, her voice full of anticipation: "An'an, what surprise are you going to prepare for me?"
Yu An gave a perfunctory reply.
He wouldn't let Song Jun open his eyes, and after he let go of his hand, Song Jun indeed didn't open them.
Eight-legged creature ran up to Yu An, ignoring Chiu Chiu and Song Jun, and excitedly pounced on him. Its little tentacles, which were sticking out, also gripped Yu An's waist tightly.
"Big brother."
The grumpy little brat wasn't grumpy at all towards Yu An. He buried his face in Yu An's chest and nuzzled against him, saying, "You're finally back!"
Yu An pinched his little tentacle and silently urged him with his mouth: "Change back!"
Bazai glanced at the little tentacles and reluctantly put them away.
After confirming that the small tentacles had stopped appearing, Yu An allowed Song Jun to open his eyes. He handed Song Jun a small trinket from his pocket: "Here you go."
Song Jun took it and found it was a porcelain doll.
He smiled and asked, "Is this the surprise you prepared for me?"
Yu An nodded reluctantly.
The porcelain doll was bought for him by Xie Chiyuan; he originally intended to bring it back for his son to play with. But to appease Song Jun, he had no choice but to hand over the only little trinket in his pocket.
Song Jun really liked the porcelain doll. He examined it for a long time and commented, "This doll looks quite like you."
Yu An thought so too.
He withdrew his lingering gaze and focused his attention on the baby.
"During the days I was gone, did my little ones cause you any trouble?" Yu An asked nervously, knowing that his children might misbehave a little without his supervision.
This specifically refers to his little bastard.
Song Jun hesitated for a moment, then mumbled, "It's alright."
When Qiuqiu came back, he was wearing a big coat. The big coat perfectly covered his tiny wings, and at first glance, he looked no different from a normal child.
Yu An led one cub in each hand and continued walking. He was a little puzzled: "Where are the eighth cub, the sixth cub, and the ninth cub?"
Bazak grumbled, "I don't know, maybe it's gone."
Yu An: "..."
You unlucky brat, how could you curse other kids like that!
If there weren't outsiders present, Yu An would definitely have taught this kid a lesson.
They hadn't walked far when Chiu Chiu looked at the crowd not far away and couldn't walk anymore.
Seeing this, Yu An skillfully picked up Qiu Qiu. Ba Zai was extremely jealous of Qiu Qiu's treatment: "Isn't Qiu Qiu ready yet? He's definitely doing this on purpose so you can hold him!"
Yu An sighed and explained to him, "Chiu Chiu used to be afraid of people too."
Their chick has always been a socially awkward chick.
Back in the research institute, only this socially awkward little chick was the one who stayed until the end. Yu An thought about the chick's diary and still felt a pang of heartache.
His socially awkward little bird was able to overcome her fear and go out to find him, which means she must have missed him terribly.
