On the way back.
Yu An sat in front of Xie Chiyuan, and the two did not say anything.
This was somewhat unusual for Yu An.
"Xie Chiyuan."
Yu An placed her hand on his and asked softly, "What happened?"
Xie Chiyuan was acting very strangely. He didn't say a word, but Yu An could sense his emotions.
"fine."
Xie Chiyuan hugged the person in front of him tightly, his voice sounding somewhat low and hoarse.
Both of them sat on the tiger cub's back, and Yu An didn't ask any more questions.
The tiger cubs moved as fast as they had when they arrived.
Less than two hours.
Yu An and Xie Chiyuan both arrived in the East District. Their low-key return left the kids a little confused.
Seeing the children wanting to come closer, Yu An glanced at Xie Chiyuan beside her and stopped them in time, saying, "Chiu Chiu, you go play with the children. I have something to say to Xie Chiyuan."
Jiujiu looked at Xie Chiyuan, then at Yu An. He took two steps back.
Bazai grabbed him and turned to run around happily.
Yu An took Xie Chiyuan's hand and led him back to the room.
As soon as he got back, Yu An locked the door.
"Xie Chiyuan, tell me, what happened?"
Yu An let Xie Chiyuan sit on the sofa, while he knelt down in front of Xie Chiyuan.
Their eyes met, and after a long while, Xie Chiyuan finally spoke.
“My father adopted me back then, but only to use me as a weapon.”
"They made a pact, a pact that my father would kill me."
The two short sentences seemed to have exhausted all of Xie Chiyuan's strength when he spoke them.
Xie Chiyuan's mind was in turmoil.
He remembered that when Yin Qin took him back, he called him his son and told him to remember to take care of him when he grew up.
These scenes flashed through Xie Chiyuan's mind one by one. They were all very heartwarming, but at this moment, that warmth was like a bubble, easily burst.
Upon hearing his words, Yu An instinctively wanted to say that it was impossible.
But before he could say it, he swallowed it back.
Xie Chiyuan is not someone who can be easily fooled. If he can say that, it must mean he is truly convinced.
But how could that be?
Chief Yin and Dr. Ruan didn't seem to be feigning affection for Xie Chiyuan at all.
Yu An didn't know what to say, so he just stood up and hugged Xie Chiyuan.
"Xie Chiyuan."
Yu An hugged him tightly, comforting him: "Don't be sad, let's go back... and find out the truth."
"I won't let anyone kill you. You have me, and the babies, we're all with you."
Inside the room, Yu An was still with Xie Chiyuan.
And outside.
Chiu Chiu was saying, "I didn't see wrong, Xie Chiyuan is so sad."
The most sensitive little bird is telling the little ones, "He looks like he's about to cry."
Ba Zai was skeptical: "How could Xie Chiyuan cry? Big Brother isn't injured, why would he cry?"
Chiu Chiu shook her head and honestly said, "Chiu Chiu doesn't know why he's crying."
But Qiuqiu was certain that Xie Chiyuan was very sad.
To prove he wasn't making things up, he brought up an incident: "In the past, when Xie Chiyuan saw me, he would come over and hug me. Even if he didn't hug me, he would talk to me for a bit."
My older brother is the same.
His older brother and Xie Chiyuan would usually hug him, but this time, neither of them did.
Chiu Chiu's words made the little ones fall into deep thought.
Bazai thought for a moment, then said with a hint of irritation, "What Qiuqiu said is probably true. Sigh, what exactly happened to Xie Chiyuan? Was he bullied?"
Thinking about this possibility, Bazai was not only annoyed, but also a little irritable.
"No matter what, he's still our sister-in-law. Who's so blind as to dare bully him!"
Even though the kids don't usually call Xie Chiyuan "sister-in-law," they've long considered her their sister-in-law.
Especially the sixth, eighth, and ninth cubs, these cubs were the first to live with Xie Chiyuan.
They may look disgusted, but if anyone actually harms Xie Chiyuan, they won't let them get away with it.
Chiu Chiu grabbed Ba Zai's little tentacles, seeking a solution.
"Xie Chiyuan usually comforts us a lot. He's so upset right now, we should comfort him too. Bazai, do you know how to comfort someone?"
Bazai: "..."
Bazai really has no experience.
The other children were also trying to figure it out.
Half a day later.
After racking his brains, Ba Zai hesitated and said, "Xie Chiyuan used to cut off my little tentacles often saying he wanted to make seafood. I guess he likes to eat this."
"How about I cut off two small tentacles and make him a seafood platter?"
Chapter 156
After Bazai spoke, the other babies fell silent.
Chirp looked back at his little wings, shivered, and stammered, "Do I...do I want to make soup?"
Sixth Child glanced at Eighth Child and said with an air of nobility and aloofness, "I am Guodie."
It's illegal to eat him.
Eighth cub looked around. The fox meat was dry and tough, the little butterfly had no meat, Seventh cub could only be used to make vegetable salad, Ninth cub was poisonous, and Chiu Chiu was afraid of pain.
So, out of all the little ones, none of them are good-tasting!
Bazai thought about his delicious meal and suddenly felt a little smug.
He grunted and said, "Just cut me off, you guys think of something else. Chirp, you don't need to prepare anything else, I'll give you a little tentacle, you can roast it and then give it to Xie Chiyuan."
Eight-Zai took care of all of Chiu-Chiu's gifts, which made Seven-Zai a little resentful.
"Eight-Eight, don't you love bullying Chuchu the most? Why do you only give him your tentacles?"
Bazai and Qiuqiu had the most disagreements, and Qiuqiu cried countless times because of Bazai.
Eight-Zai glanced at Seven-Zai and said confidently, "I'm willing to give it to him. If I don't, he'll cry. He's such a crybaby!"
Chirp: "..."
Chiu Chiu wants to say that she is no longer a crybaby.
But Bazai had already pulled him away, not letting him stay where he was with the other cubs.
Eight-Zai had figured out a way to heal Xie Chiyuan's heart, while the other kids continued to rack their brains.
Seven was so worried he was going bald. He couldn't think of any way to coax Xie Chiyuan, so he decided to imitate Eight and bring him a salad with leafy greens.
The two edible little ones left, taking Chiu Chiu with them.
The remaining cubs exchanged glances, then dispersed to devise their own plans.
The atmosphere in the room was better than before.
Yu An held Xie Chiyuan in her arms and lay down on the bed with him. The two of them did nothing but snuggle together like this.
Xie Chiyuan had his eyes closed, but Yu An knew he wasn't asleep.
"Xie Chiyuan, I love you very much, and the babies will love you too."
Yu An pressed her forehead against his chest and said softly, "Rest for a while, you'll feel better after you wake up."
Xie Chiyuan's emotions are unstable right now, so we can't analyze or argue with him. Instead, we need to help him calm down first.
Xie Chiyuan didn't say anything, but just hugged Yu An tighter.
Time passed little by little.
Yu An raised her head and looked at Xie Chiyuan's handsome face, which was so close to hers.
He was heartbroken.
Put yourself in his shoes. What if he knew that his parents raised him with the intention of killing him after they had taken him in their arms?
He will also be very sad.
Xie Chiyuan may appear cold, but he actually values his family very much. He truly treats Yin Qin like his own father.
Yu An felt her heart clench whenever she thought about Xie Chiyuan's current state of mind.
His Xie Chiyuan is so good, he shouldn't be treated like this.
The room was quiet, without a single sound.
At this moment, Yu An didn't want to care about anything; he just wanted to stay with Xie Chiyuan.
From afternoon to evening.
