Zhai Man then took them to the restaurant, where the restaurant began preparations after receiving the order. Now, a large table full of food has been prepared.
The food is all suitable for the mutants.
Zhai Man couldn't finish the food, so he ordered a vegetarian dish separately, placed it in front of him, and ate a few bites every now and then.
At the dinner table, Zhai Man and Yu An didn't talk about the two districts, but instead chatted about everyday things.
"Ling Yi has been thinking about you for a long time. Why don't you stay in the East District for a couple more days this time? It'll be a good opportunity for you two to get together."
"We'll have to wait until Xie Chiyuan finishes his business before we can discuss this. I'm not sure how long I can stay right now."
Yu An was very satisfied with the food; he could tell that Zhai Man had put a lot of thought into it.
At the dinner table, it was mostly Zhai Man and Yu An who were talking.
The other children were still absorbed in their own emotions and didn't interrupt.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhai Man did not linger any longer.
He took Yu An back again and carefully instructed her, "Each room is equipped with an alarm system. If anything happens, just press a button."
This is the main base in the East District, so the probability of something going wrong is not high. However, Zhai Man still carefully arranged every detail.
After a brief exchange of words, Zhai Man said goodbye and left.
No sooner had he left than Yu An called Da Zai over.
"Big Brother, what exactly are you and Zhai Man collaborating on? Between the two of you, who's in charge—"
"He's doing things for me."
Before Yu An could finish her question, Da Zai gave his answer.
He confessed: "I was in charge of producing the deformed variants in the East District."
Yu An: "..."
Yu An's brain isn't quite up to par.
Zhai Man is the powerful figure in the East District. Even if their eldest son is very successful, he can't order around the boss of the First District to do things for Zhai Man.
"Big cub."
Yu An's expression turned serious. He stared at Da Zai's face and questioned him sternly: "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Zhai Man is the boss of the East District. It's even more impossible for him to help you for free."
"Tell me honestly, what did you give Zhai Man?"
You have to put in effort to do anything; only by putting in effort can you get a reward.
Zhai Man repaid Da Zai, and Da Zai would inevitably have to give something in return.
Under Yu An's gaze, Da Zai hesitated, as if unsure how to speak.
A few minutes later.
The eldest son, with a straight face, spoke up: "Big brother, I helped him before, so he's helping me now."
The eldest son didn't elaborate on how he helped.
This meant he was hiding something, and hiding it from his older brother made the eldest son feel uneasy.
He slowly transformed back into his original form, and the huge python head rubbed against Yu An.
This scene is terrifying no matter how you look at it.
The python itself didn't seem to feel any fear about its appearance. It even nuzzled its head closer and let Yu An's palm touch its head.
It's cool and a bit rough.
After being rubbed against by his own python cub for a while, Yu An finally couldn't keep a serious expression.
He looked down and met the python's large head.
“Son, I won’t pry too much into your personal affairs. But there’s one thing you must remember: you must not put yourself in a dangerous situation.”
The python nodded its head, and its cold, vertical pupils seemed to warm up.
Yu An petted the python for a while, and after he finished, he even took some close-up photos of it.
"Hey, have you seen the comments under your photos? I posted a few new photos, not from when you were little, and a lot of fans are saying you're cute."
The baby choked.
He doesn't go online much, so he wouldn't normally be able to see these things.
Zhai Man once looked at this on his phone and was very engrossed in it.
He walked past from behind, and even Zhai Man, who was always very wary of outsiders, didn't notice him.
So he looked down at what Zhai Man was looking at.
It was a set of photos. In the photos, there was a small snake, about the size of a palm, struggling to drink milk from a small baby bottle.
After appreciating them, Zhai Man saved them one by one. After saving them, he opened the comments section, seemingly to leave a comment.
But before he could even type out the comment, he was caught red-handed by the big kid.
The eldest son thought of those photos, and then looked at the photos his older brother had taken for him.
He paused, then reminded his older brother, "Brother, if you just send it out like this, a lot of people will be scared."
He now knows that humans are terrified of his prototype's adult form.
He was quite young when he was little, so he might have looked harmless.
But now, even if he just stands there and doesn't make any attacking moves, humans will be terrified of him.
Yu An patted his head, his eyes looking a little blind under the "baby filter": "Don't overthink it. I've posted photos of the other kids now, and the fans like them just as much."
Especially the third child, even when he's snoring on his back with his belly up, fans keep clutching their chests and saying how adorable he is.
Yu An, blindly confident, posted a set of photos of a giant python.
The moment the photo was posted, the comments section exploded that very night.
"Waaaaah, I'm a little scared. Is this A01? Just looking at the photos makes me feel breathless."
"Fear +1. A01's aura is terrifying. If I stood in front of him, I would probably be scared to death."
"Hmm, A01 does exude a strong sense of intimidation, but don't you guys think he's pretty 'A'?"
The same letter A can represent a serial number in some cases, while in others it can be an adjective.
Before going to bed, Yu An looked at the comments section and felt that the comments were not what he wanted to see.
These people didn't praise the big cub for being good-looking or cute; they just said the big cub looked a bit scary.
"Big brother, I'm here to sleep with you."
Just as she had used all her skills to temporarily appease Baza, Chiu Chiu poked her head out.
Feeling a little tired, he rested his head on his older brother's arm and looked at his phone with him.
Yu An's phone screen was on the comments section, and everyone in the comments section was talking about the eldest child.
After watching for only a short while, Qiuqiu knew why her older brother was unhappy.
He blinked and offered his older brother a suggestion: "Big brother, Da Zai's human form isn't scary at all. You can send him a picture of him in human form."
Yu An tightened his brow: "I don't have any photos of Da Zai in human form."
"I have!"
Chiu Chiu sat up and reached for her phone.
He didn't have any photos saved on his phone, but he added Zhai Man on WeChat.
The two had even chatted on WeChat.
Jiujiu held her phone and sent a message to Zhai Man.
It's Qiuqiu: "Brother Zhai, are you asleep?"
Zhai Man: Not yet.
It's Chuchu: "Can I ask you for a few photos? I'd like some photos of the big cub."
It's Chuchu: "Big brother, you need to post a picture of the big cub, in human form, and it needs to be pretty."
Zhai Man: "..."
Zhai Man: "Please wait a moment."
After Zhai Man said to wait a moment, there was no further movement.
After some time, Qiuqiu's phone rang several times.
He rubbed his eyes, then opened the window to take a look.
Zhai Man sent him five or six photos, all of which showed Da Zai in human form. Two of them even showed him with his abs showing.
Chiu Chiu stared blankly.
He murmured, "Big Cub's physique is really muscular."
Moreover, the big cub has abs just like the cat.
Chiu Chiu knows that abs are easy to touch! It's a pity he can't develop them himself.
Meow Meow says that eating two more bowls of rice will give you abs.
"Big brother, here you go."
Chiu Chiu sent all the photos to her older brother, then snuggled into Yu An's arms.
Yu An's eyes lit up when she saw the photo of the eldest child.
His son has such a great physique!
With a figure like that, he'll definitely find a wife someday.
After obtaining the photos, Yu An didn't hide them and openly shared them online.
Within minutes of the photo being posted, the comment section exploded.
"Ahhh, I'll call him 'husband' first."
"Honey, face me head-on!"
