Yu An was so tightly held by him that she could hardly breathe.
Xie Chiyuan tried to talk to him about several topics, but received no response. He wondered how he had ended up making his baby mute after taking a shower.
A while later.
After dawdling for a while, Yu An turned to look at Xie Chiyuan. He nuzzled Xie Chiyuan's handsome face and said obediently, "Xie Chiyuan."
Xie Chiyuan lowered his head, their noses touching.
"I am here."
In the quiet room, without the clingy little one to bother them, the two lovers finally had time to indulge in their sweet nothings.
They weren't worried about being overheard those cheesy love words.
Xie Chiyuan enjoyed these moments with Yu An. He could feel content just by holding Yu An without doing anything else.
But in situations like this, there's no need to be a true gentleman.
"An'an, are you sleepy?"
No, I'm not sleepy.
Yu An stammered out his answer that he wasn't sleepy, and the next second, Xie Chiyuan turned over and pulled him into his arms.
The damp sea breeze I smelled outside at night was indeed a weather warning.
The rain poured down.
They were some distance from the beach, but they could still faintly hear the sound of waves crashing.
Yu An isn't afraid of rain, but he doesn't really like heavy rain. He prefers light rain, which is refreshing and doesn't affect his travel—it's his favorite kind of weather.
The rain was getting heavier.
Yu An suddenly remembered Ba Zai who had gone into the sea during the day. He propped himself up on his arms, trying to sit up: "Ba Zai, Ba Zai is still outside."
According to the locator, someone has already gone to stake out the island.
Hearing the increasingly urgent sound of the rain, Yu An couldn't help but want to go over there himself. But it was the middle of the night, and Xie Chiyuan would never let him go out.
"Listen to me, we'll go together tomorrow during the day."
Xie Chiyuan patiently coaxed Yu An, who was trying to get up, and soon Yu An was calmed down by Xie Chiyuan.
He gripped Xie Chiyuan's wrist, thinking about the information he had seen, and for some reason, his emotions were suddenly stirred.
"Xie Chiyuan, do you want a kiss?"
"think."
Xie Chiyuan never thought he could have too many kisses. He brought his face slightly closer, but just as he was about to kiss her, Yu An dodged away.
A few minutes later, Xie Chiyuan closed his eyes, beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.
A long time passed.
Yu An left Xie Chiyuan behind and ran to the bathroom alone. The bathroom faucet was running loudly, mingling with the sound of rain outside.
Xie Chiyuan heard him rinsing his mouth.
Meanwhile, only Xiao Jiu and Qiu Qiu remained in the next room.
Thunder rumbled, but Xiao Jiu slept soundly, completely unaware. Occasionally, when the thunder became too loud, he would turn over and continue sleeping.
Chiu Chiu, awakened by the thunder, originally wanted to call for Xiao Jiu.
After trying to wake him up no matter what, Qiuqiu sniffed, tears welling in his eyes, and reached for his phone to make a video call.
In the middle of the night, the other party actually answered his call.
"Meow meow".
Wearing polka-dot pajamas, Chiu Chiu quickly complained after seeing the tiger's image on the screen, "It's raining here, and there's a lot of thunder."
The tiger cubs showed no emotion whatsoever when their sleep was interrupted.
He was looking at Chuchu.
Chiu Chiu rubbed his eyes, trying to shake off the "crybaby" label. He emphasized, "I didn't cry, I just woke up, so my eyes are a little red."
The tiger cub didn't call him out on his lie, but simply asked, "Didn't you sleep with your older brother tonight?"
Chiu Chiu shook her head: "Big brother said it was too crowded here, so he moved to the next room."
Tiger cub: "..."
It goes without saying that Xie Chiyuan must also live next door.
Clutching his phone, Qiuqiu gradually relaxed as he chatted with Tiger Cub. He pulled the blanket tighter around him, lying on his side with the phone right in front of him.
"Go to sleep."
The tiger cub's deep voice was even more pleasant in the night, perfectly satisfying anyone's fascination with voices. Just like before, he hypnotized the crybaby to sleep.
Chirp chirped with her eyes half-open, "I want to hear your story."
Tiger Cub had no talent for storytelling. He opened a reading app, randomly selected a book, and began to read aloud in a steady, even tone.
This hypnosis has indeed been effective.
The tiger cub didn't have to wait long before it saw that Chiu Chiu had fallen asleep. His face was very close to the screen, so close that his thick, curly eyelashes were clearly visible to the tiger cub.
Her eyelashes were wet, damp from the tears she had just shed.
Tiger Cub didn't hang up the phone, and it was unclear when he would. He lay half-prone on the floor, staring at the phone in front of him.
That night, only the lonely Xiao Jiu slept the best.
The next day, he stretched and greeted Qiuqiu with a relaxed air: "Qiuqiu, good morning."
Chiu Chiu, still asleep: "Snoring."
Xiao Jiu leaned over and pinched his cheeks several times.
Qi Zai was taken away by Tan Zhan last night, but before that, Qi Zai and Xiao Jiu had already been sparring and come up with a lot of bad ideas.
Xiao Jiu squinted his eyes; with so many things to do, he didn't want to stay in bed at all.
first.
The first thing he had to do was get his older brother out. He didn't know when Qi Zai opened the door last night, but if he had known earlier, Xie Chiyuan wouldn't have been able to take his older brother away so easily.
They knocked on the door for quite a while.
Xie Chiyuan never opened the door.
Xiao Jiu: "..."
Xiao Jiu's mood started to turn sour.
After realizing he couldn't get the door open no matter what he tried, he went to find Qi Zai. Qi Zai said that he and Tan Zhan had no feelings for each other, and that their relationship was a case of forced marriage.
But when he got to Tan Zhan's place and peeked through the window, he saw that the kid who had been saying he hated Tan Zhan was now asleep and still holding Tan Zhan tightly.
Tan Zhan seemed to want to get up, but Qi Zai was unhappy and started cursing her husband with her eyes closed.
Even a jerk husband is still a husband.
Xiao Jiu's face turned green when she heard this.
He arrived at the last target room, which was Dr. Tang's bedroom. He had tied Dr. Tang up very tightly last night.
Then, he put Dr. Tang, who was tied up, together with the six cubs that were in their breeding season.
According to his deduction, there was bound to be a bloodbath here early this morning.
Unfortunately, it remains peaceful inside.
After wandering around all morning, Xiao Jiu returned to her room empty-handed, and looked up—
Oh wow.
The video call between Qiuqiu and Huzai is still going on.
All the little ones have someone to keep them company, and even the eldest brother has someone. Only he is about to turn into a lonely little mushroom, wreaking havoc and killing indiscriminately!
Chapter 125
Perhaps it was because Xiao Jiu woke up too early that he saw so many things he shouldn't have seen.
Just as he was about to explode with anger, Qiuqiu woke up from his bed. He yawned, patted the empty space next to him, and called out to Xiao Jiu, "Jiu Zai, aren't you going to sleep?"
Xiao Jiu: "..."
Xiao Jiu: "Hmph!"
Why would you ask a stinky bird to do something when it has the tiger in the video to keep it company?
Chiu Chiu didn't understand his feelings. She was still half-closing her eyes when she spoke to him: "It rained last night and there was thunder. You slept so soundly that I couldn't wake you up."
As she spoke, she emphasized again, "Thunder is scary."
Xiao Jiu was stunned. He pointed at Qiu Qiu's phone and asked, "Did you call Wu Zai because you couldn't wake me up?"
Chiu Chiu nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiu finally paused his descent into darkness. Satisfied, he got into bed, grabbed half of the blanket from Qiu Qiu, and his tone was much better than before.
"What's so scary about thunder? It won't strike us anyway."
Chiu Chiu hadn't slept well yet, and while he was talking to Xiao Jiu, his eyes were already closing again. He rubbed his cheek against the pillow, his voice slurred with sleep: "I'm scared, we little birds are afraid of thunder and rain."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu snorted and said, "You're not a bird flying outside anymore. You're a bird someone keeps. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Chiu Chiu seemed to grunt in response, but when Xiao Jiu looked at him again, he had already fallen asleep.
Early in the morning, without Xiao Jiu knocking on doors everywhere, everyone else had some peace and quiet.
The next room.
Xie Chiyuan heard the knocking earlier, but he ignored it. Not only did he ignore it, he also covered Yu An's ears, afraid that Yu An, who was still sleeping, would hear the sound.
Once everything quieted down, thankfully Yu An wasn't woken up.
