Little Yu'an drank her milk powder, swung her toes, and occasionally leaned against her father's chest, looking at them curiously.
Little Yu An completely captivated their attention.
When Chiu Chiu saw his older brother give him a small smile, his mind went completely blank.
No, I don't know.
Chiu Chiu couldn't remember anything important either. He looked at his older brother and exclaimed, "Big brother is yawning!"
Little Yu'an gets sleepy after eating, and right now she's yawning so hard her eyes are glistening with tears. She's so cute it's almost unfair.
They continued to surround Xiao Yu'an.
Meanwhile, Xie Chiyuan, who was also at the base and had not received any news back, had given up hope.
If there's good news, if An'an can come back—
It's impossible that he hasn't received the notification by now.
Xie Chiyuan had long been mentally prepared for this outcome.
Pei Si, who was guarding him, would find an excuse to come in every now and then.
"Thank you, Brother Xie."
Pei Si found another excuse to come in, and after seeing that Xie Chiyuan was still unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion.
"Brother Xie, I have something I want to tell you."
Pei Si sat down in front of him and started chatting with him as if it were a casual conversation: "Don't you always try to set me up on blind dates?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Chiyuan calmly replied, "Uncle Ruan will make arrangements for you when we get back. You can tell him what type you like."
Pei Si: "..."
Pei Si was silent for a few seconds, then reminded him, "Brother Xie, do you remember what reason I gave for staying this time?"
Xie Chiyuan's tone remained unchanged: "I don't remember."
Pei Si choked.
He answered himself sheepishly, "I stayed as a member of the second son's family."
"I came here today to tell you that you don't need to set me up on blind dates anymore."
Xie Chiyuan: "Oh."
Pei Si looked at his expression and continued, "Brother Xie, my parents aren't here. You promised me before that you would help me with my affairs. Do you still stand by that promise?"
Xie Chiyuan: "It doesn't count anymore."
His reneging on his promise was so frank that it momentarily disrupted Pei Si's train of thought.
"No, you said you had to take responsibility for me."
Pei Si said seriously, "I have no parents. You said you would help me make arrangements, so you can't go back on your word."
"This is the first time I've ever married a fish, I have no experience. If you don't take care of me, I really don't know what to do."
"When we get back, I'll have Uncle Ruan help you make arrangements."
Xie Chiyuan's attitude left no room for negotiation, which made Pei Si increasingly anxious.
"Brother Xie, you can't do this."
Pei Si bluntly stated, "Even if An'an is gone, you still have to live on."
“You have many responsibilities on your shoulders; you can’t just abandon everything.”
Pei Si didn't really want Xie Ge to take any responsibility; he just wanted to use this to give Xie Chiyuan a bit of the will to live.
"Haven't I done enough for so many years as a human being?"
"I don't want to think about anything else right now, I just want to stay with An'an."
If he had heard about a double suicide in the past, he would have found it unbelievable.
But when it really happened to him, he realized that if he were to continue living in a world without An'an, every single moment would be filled with loneliness and pain.
"Pei Si, you don't need to try to persuade me anymore, and you don't need to keep coming to see me."
Xie Chiyuan's decision was final and could not be changed.
He had even taken a shower and changed his clothes. After glancing at the time, he got up and walked towards Yu An's room.
Seeing this, Pei Si followed along, worried.
Xie Chiyuan's room was very close to Yu An's, so he quickly walked over there.
The door opened, and the room was empty. Xie Chiyuan's heart emptied along with the room.
Yu An couldn't hold on. This was the only thought left in Xie Chiyuan's and Pei Si's minds at this moment.
"Thank you, Brother Xie."
Pei Si called his name in a hoarse voice.
Xie Chiyuan closed his eyes and said softly, "Get out, don't disturb me."
After a brief standoff, Pei Si, with red eyes, left.
He was still not giving up and wanted to find the other children to persuade him.
After searching for quite a while, Pei Si finally found the person.
"Ba Zai."
Pei Si looked at the eight kids who seemed to be doing nothing and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are the other kids? Brother Xie is going to commit suicide for An An, can you stop him?"
The eight-year-old who came out to get water to make formula: "?"
Ba Zai stared at Pei Si in bewilderment: "What love suicide?"
Pei Si clenched her fists, suppressing her emotions, and replied, "An'an is gone, Brother Xie is going to be with him."
Ba Zai: "!"
Baza: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Bazai put his hands on his hips and said loudly, "Our eldest brother is fine, he's being held by Father Gu right now."
After reporting his elder brother's condition, Ba Zai suddenly froze: "Damn, I seem to have forgotten to inform Xie Chiyuan."
They were all so happy that they completely forgot that Xie Chiyuan knew nothing about it.
Thinking of this, Ba Zai rushed back to the room, picked up his older brother, and hurriedly went to find Xie Chiyuan.
"Xie Chiyuan! Don't die yet!"
Bazai carried Xiaoyu'an and ran wildly, followed by a string of people.
After running for a while...
Ba Zai stopped, panting, and pounded on the door: "Xie Chiyuan, come out quickly. My older brother is here!"
Xie Chiyuan, who had absolutely no will to survive inside the door, was speechless.
He looked up at the doorway and thought he might be hallucinating.
Chapter 183
When Ba Zai knocked on the door, Xiao Yu'an, who had been brought there by him, also tried to put both feet on the ground.
He sat on the ground, wearing a small outfit that had been made by Qiuqiu.
As Ba Zai was frantically knocking on the door, Xiao Yu'an blinked and looked at the door: "Huh?"
He was asking what Ba Zai was up to.
After failing to get Xie Chiyuan to come out by banging on the door, Ba Zai looked a little uneasy.
"Could it be that the person surnamed Xie is already gone?!"
Realizing this possibility, Bazai disregarded everything else and simply started banging on the door.
A few minutes later.
Hearing the commotion, Xie Chiyuan finally came over and opened the door.
The door opened.
Xie Chiyuan looked calmly at the eight-year-old who had barged in: "What are you doing here?"
When Bazai saw that he was still alive, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, you're still alive."
Xie Chiyuan ignored him and waited for him to get to the point.
"Cough cough."
Ba Zai cleared his throat and, without beating around the bush, told him directly, "You don't have to die. You can live a good life with my older brother now."
Xie Chiyuan: "..."
Xie Chiyuan frowned slightly, as if he hadn't understood what he was saying.
Seeing this, Ba Zai repeated, "My older brother is fine, we were just too excited and forgot to tell you."
At this point, Bazai felt a little guilty.
However, he has now brought his older brother over, which can be considered as making up for his mistake earlier.
Here, let me show you.
Bazai picked up his older brother, who was leaning against the wall and learning to walk, and carried him to Xie Chiyuan.
Isn't my older brother especially cute?
After showing his elder brother to Xie Chiyuan, Ba Zai asked him a rather smug question.
Xie Chiyuan stared blankly at Xiao Yu'an in front of him, feeling as if he were dreaming.
If he wasn't dreaming, how could he have witnessed such an unreal scene?
He dreamt that his wife, who was so big, turned into a little baby and came back.
