Yu An: "When are you coming back?"
Xie Chiyuan: "It'll be over soon, in another half hour."
Xie Chiyuan: "What's wrong?"
Xie Chiyuan: "If there's anything you need, just tell me."
Yu An didn't want to talk about it on WeChat, so he replied, "Let's talk about it when you get back."
After sending the WeChat message, Yu An randomly opened another platform.
As soon as he opened it, he found that he had received a lot of private messages.
Chapter 167
Yu An had an account on the platform, which was originally a private account, but he was recognized when he posted photos of his child.
Later, he continued to update using this account, and his number of followers continued to increase.
There were many comments praising the baby in the photos.
He often receives private messages from netizens asking which baby they want to see.
In the past, he would have been happy to open the private messages.
But this time, for some reason, he felt a vague unease.
Xie Chiyuan hasn't returned yet, and Zai Zai isn't around right now either.
Yu An looked at her phone and mustered up the courage to open the private messages.
Messages from strangers in private messages can only be viewed by clicking on them.
Yu An clicked on the first one to read. He recognized the ID that sent the private message; it belonged to a fan who liked Ba Zai.
“Yu An, I’ve always liked you and your babies. I used to be very afraid of mutants, but you posted photos of the mutant babies growing up. In your photos, these babies are growing little by little, and they are all so cute.”
“I know that Ba Zai is a reckless kid. He is arrogant and seems to have a bad temper, but he is actually very thoughtful.”
“I thought I would always like you. But when I saw the video of the mutants killing people, I realized that they have a cute side, but an even more terrifying side.”
“If they ever want to kill us, then we will only be lambs to the slaughter.”
“Yu An, I’ve been following your updates for so long, and I know you have a very kind personality.”
"But you can't guarantee that the variants of the A sequence will never target humans."
"For the sake of millions of people, I beg you, make a choice."
This fan wrote a very long post, but there wasn't a single insult in it, nor did he explicitly tell Yu An what to do.
But after reading the short essay, Yu An understood what he meant.
He wanted Yu An to sacrifice all the cubs in exchange for a peaceful life for humanity.
The first private message I opened was the most peaceful.
Because what Yu An clicked on next were all the most blatant insults.
"It's the deformed ones who should die! It should be you who die! Not a young child, but a newlywed girl!"

In addition to text messages, there are also various pictures filling the chat box.
Those pictures were photos of Zai Zai... photoshopped into black and white funeral portraits.
Yu An felt a chill run down her spine.
He didn't scroll down any further into the private messages, and even without scrolling, he knew that the messages below would be the same as these.
Even those who once liked Zai Zai now only feel hostility towards him.
He sat up, wanting to go see the babies.
If he received all these private messages, then the kids will see them sooner or later.
Before they even left, Xie Chiyuan had already returned.
"An'an".
Xie Chiyuan had just finished talking with Yin Qin. He was actually still busy for a while, but thinking that Yu An was waiting for him to come back, he turned around early.
Where are you going? I'll go with you.
"I'm going to check on the baby."
Yu An wanted to temporarily disconnect the kids from the internet, as he knew they had a habit of going online before going to bed at night.
If the kids go online tonight as usual, they'll definitely see a lot of bad news.
“Okay, I’ll go with you. I saw Qiuqiu and the others on the way here.”
Yu An and Xie Chiyuan quickly found the babies together.
The kids don't play on their phones much during the day, but when they heard Yu An was going to confiscate them, their eyes widened in surprise.
"Big brother."
The little fox, who was quite addicted to the internet, came close to Yu An, blinked his eyes, and tried his best to be cute: "Don't take away my phone, I promise I won't stay up all night playing on my phone anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Yu An immediately realized that he must have been playing on his phone all night before.
However, now is not the time to pursue this. Yu An rubbed the little fox's head, and just when the little fox thought it had successfully charmed the fox, he said coldly and ruthlessly, "No, you have to hand over your phone."
The current online atmosphere is not good for the kids. Yu An doesn't plan to let the kids go online until the storm has subsided.
The little fox's attempt to be cute failed, so Eighth and Ninth Cubs took their place.
Without exception, Yu An did not soften his heart.
Finally, the children, heads bowed and faces down, handed over their phones one by one.
Chiu Chiu didn't think there was anything wrong with handing over her phone.
He's surrounded by people to play with now, and his five kids tell him stories before bed, so whether he plays on his phone or not doesn't really matter to him.
Wu Zai also needs to maintain contact with the East District, so he doesn't need to hand over his phone.
When Qi Zai handed over his phone, he stared intently at Tan Zhan.
Fortunately, Tan Zhan's phone wasn't confiscated, so he can continue using it that night!
After collecting their phones, Yu An gave them books.
"Read more books, so you can become a cultured child."
Yu An instructed them, "These are all classic works. You should write a review after you finish reading them."
The little ones: "..."
Help.
It's bad enough that I can't play on my phone, why do I have to do homework now?!
The children's protest failed, so they could only take their books back to their rooms.
Yu An watched the children walk away before turning her head to look at Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan had already noticed that something was wrong with Yu An.
The kids used to play on their phones frequently, but Yu An would only limit their screen time instead of confiscating them outright.
"What on earth happened?"
Xie Chiyuan, unsure of the reason, looked down and asked Yu An.
Yu An knew that Xie Chiyuan was too busy to read online opinions, so he didn't want to cause Xie Chiyuan any trouble with online matters.
"It's nothing. I just think they're getting more and more addicted to their phones. This is bad for their eyes and their health."
“If we don’t discipline them with such strict discipline for a period of time, they won’t learn their lesson.”
As Yu An spoke, she asked Xie Chiyuan, "Have you finished your work for today?"
"Not yet, I still need to work a little longer."
"Then I'll go with you to get busy."
The two returned to the office. Yu An watched Xie Chiyuan handle official business, while he lay down to the side and picked up a book to read.
I don't know how much time passed.
When Xie Chiyuan finished his work, he looked up and saw Yu An sleeping.
He didn't wake Yu An, but went over and quietly observed him for a while.
Yu An looked beautiful while sleeping, her eyelashes fluttering gently, her soft cheeks resting on her arms, her profile serene and delicate.
After watching for a while, Xie Chiyuan picked the person up and took him back to his room.
That night.
Xie Chiyuan could sense that Yu An was sleeping restlessly. He woke up several times during the night, and each time he was startled awake, he could only look at him with a sense of unease.
"Xie Chiyuan, hug me."
Every time Yu An woke up in a fright, he would only say this one sentence.
Xie Chiyuan wanted to ask him if he had a nightmare, but he wouldn't say, only repeatedly asking for a hug.
Xie Chiyuan had no choice but to hold him tightly.
Yu An slept restlessly, and the babies also slept with a resentful air.
The little fox looked at the books placed on the bedside table, examining them from left to right, and almost chewed them to pieces.
"I don't want to read books, I want to play on my phone."
The little fox stared at the ceiling and muttered to itself.
I endured that night.
