A while later.
Xie Chiyuan tidied up the place and had the children take a bath beforehand. He then checked the room for any usable supplies.
This family seems to be well-off; their wardrobe is filled with luxury goods.
Xie Chiyuan also saw some designer clothes that were still unopened, but the sizes were a bit too big, so they would need to be altered for Yu An or the kids.
He's very good at altering clothes.
An hour later, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Yu An didn't disturb Qiu Qiu, who was lying on the corner of the sofa making a video call. He simply leaned against Xie Chiyuan, who was also sitting on the sofa.
Xie Chiyuan lowered his head and kissed him on the lips.
The two kept quiet, afraid of being caught by Qiuqiu.
Xie Chiyuan pointed to one of the rooms and said to the old man, "You can stay in that room tonight. I checked it, and it has all the necessities. You won't lack anything."
The old man didn't want to stay any longer. He didn't have much in common with Xie Chiyuan, and he wasn't particularly compatible with Yu An or the mutants Yu An brought along.
As soon as the old man returned to his room, Xie Chiyuan started chatting with Yu An.
He asked, "Did you two encounter any problems when you went out? Did you find any survivors?"
Yu An sighed and replied, "Traveling with him went smoothly, but we didn't encounter anything, not even any survivors."
Judging from the current situation, the chances of there being any survivors in the city are slim.
He knew about the people who had come to him for help before; they weren't good people.
These three people have harmed many innocent people. They are human beings, but for survival and profit, they chose to murder their own kind.
All three of them are gone, but there may still be people like them.
Yu An rubbed his face and sighed, "If only there were more people like Little Wooden Head. By the way, I wonder where Little Wooden Head has been rescued to now."
Xie Chiyuan didn't reply. He put his arm around Yu An and let Yu An murmur in his arms.
"I've prepared a room for Bazai and Qiuqiu, and I have one for myself. An'an, which room do you want to stay in?"
When Xie Chiyuan asked this question, Ba Zai came out excitedly to find his older brother, wanting to sleep with him.
Before he could even run over, he heard his older brother reply to Xie Chiyuan, "Hmm, I'll sleep with you. Let Bazai and Qiuqiu sleep together; they're both small, so they'll be able to sleep comfortably together."
Ba Zai stood there stunned for a moment, then angrily shouted at Xie Chiyuan, "You lied to me! You promised you wouldn't sleep with my older brother!"
Xie Chiyuan put his arm around Yu An's shoulder and said to him logically, "I didn't lie to you. I said I wouldn't ask your older brother to sleep with me, but I didn't say I wouldn't let your older brother come to me to sleep with me."
As expected, fish don't understand some of the word games that humans use most often.
Bazai is furious.
He glared angrily at his older brother, hoping he would speak up for him. But his brother and Xie Chiyuan were sitting very close together, and the atmosphere between them was so sweet and affectionate that there was no room for him!
Bazai hurriedly took Qiuqiu back to the room.
Chiu Chiu was still unhappy: "Stop bothering me! I haven't finished my call yet, I want to hear Meow Meow sing me the Meow Meow Song."
The little brat said domineeringly, "You're not allowed to sing! Fourth Brother is a tiger, not a meow meow. He doesn't know how to sing the meow meow song at all. You're not allowed to call him anymore. I'm in a bad mood right now. You have to talk to me."
Chirp was unhappy.
He's a staunch cat lover; between cats and seafood, he'd choose cats!
Eight-Zai violently hung up on Chiu-Chiu's call. A second before the call ended, the tiger on the other end heard a loud cry.
No need to ask, it must be because Qiuqiu was made to cry.
Tiger stared at the darkened phone screen, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
He didn't call back immediately, but instead got up and went to find 01. When the Secret Shield Research Institute was destroyed, all the aberrations fled, with only a small number remaining in the institute.
Some of those who fled were like him and 01, who left on their own.
Some were taken away by others.
He was about to go on a field mission when he casually said to 01, "Xiao Ba's regenerative ability is also quite good. If you need, you can get in touch with him."
A01 responded with a soft "hmm".
He's busy with mass production of the variants, and time is very tight these days.
A05 stopped bothering him and turned to leave.
On the other side.
Yu An also heard Qiu Qiu crying. He hesitated and asked Xie Chiyuan, "Did you hear Qiu Qiu crying? Did he fight with Ba Zai?"
The sound insulation of the house is neither good nor bad.
The chirping could still be heard. But the crying didn't last long before it stopped.
Xie Chiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and didn't let Yu An leave.
He kissed Yu An's cheek and urged him, "Go take a shower, and we'll have a good chat."
Yu An is a germaphobe; she won't even sit on the bed right now without having showered.
He rushed off to take a shower, and Xie Chiyuan stood at the door, asking him, "An'an, can you get clean by yourself? Do you need me to come in and help?"
Yu An blushed and refused, "No!"
He was just about to confess his feelings to Xie Chiyuan when Xie Chiyuan suddenly wanted to take a bath with him!
His progress bar is nowhere near Xie Chiyuan's.
Yu An was taking a bath, while Xie Chiyuan listened to the sound of the water.
They both knew of each other's presence, and even though they weren't embracing, it felt even more blush-inducing and heart-pounding than a kiss.
Yu An slowly finished showering and came out. As soon as she came out, Xie Chiyuan hugged her and put her on the bed.
"alright."
Nothing else could bother them, and there was nothing more to do. The two of them could finally have some peace and quiet alone: "An'an, it's time to resolve our issues."
Yu An had said that he would give Xie Chiyuan an answer when they met again.
Although Xie Chiyuan already knew the answer from Ba Zai, he still wanted to hear Yu An say it himself.
"Big Head".
Yu An stared at Xie Chiyuan without blinking. He cleared his throat and, without the slightest hesitation, kept his promise: "I... I like you!"
"I don't know when I started liking you, but I know that I like you a lot now."
To express his sincerity, Yu An thought for a moment and said earnestly, "I like you so much that I want to raise a baby with you."
Zai Zai is his most precious treasure. The fact that he is willing to raise him together with Xie Chiyuan means that he loves Xie Chiyuan very much.
Xie Chiyuan was initially feeling warm and fuzzy, but his feelings were abruptly interrupted when he heard that they were going to raise a baby together.
Ten cubs, plus the two he had on the island.
Twelve.
Of these twelve cubs, even if some are more mature, there are still a few who need their eldest brother to accompany them even when they sleep.
He pinched Yu An's cheek sweetly and helplessly, and replied, "I like you too, so much so that I'm willing to give you all my savings for a wife."
"I'm still willing to save another baby book for our baby."
Chapter 97
Yu An's confession was like a fuse, and once lit, it set Xie Chiyuan ablaze. He barely said a few words before he had completely captivated Yu An's thoughts.
"No, don't touch me."
Yu An tried to pry open his large hand, attempting to calm his mind and reduce his desires.
Xie Chiyuan lowered his head, their noses touching, their breaths mingling, making the atmosphere in the air feel increasingly thick.
"An'an, I will take care of you and our baby from now on. I will care about all the people and things you value."
Xie Chiyuan spoke very seriously, but his large hands, which Yu An hadn't pried open, were anything but serious.
Yu An has ticklish spots on her waist, and she has to hold back her laughter when touched.
He avoided Xie Chiyuan, wanting to continue talking to him properly.
But Xie Chiyuan didn't give him that chance: "Be good, tonight is our confession night, you can't hide from me. Come a little closer."
Yu An refused.
He's only just gotten used to Xie Chiyuan's kisses, and judging from Xie Chiyuan's current posture, he feels like he's about to be devoured.
"I'm ticklish, you can't touch me."
Yu An struggled to create some distance and made a deal with Xie Chiyuan: "You can hug me and kiss me, but you can't touch me."
Xie Chiyuan raised an eyebrow as he listened to these conditions.
Before Yu An confessed his feelings, he could kiss and hug her. Now that they have both confessed to each other, they can still only kiss and hug.
Did his wife An'an treat him like a vegetarian on the spot?
The two remained locked in this standoff for a moment until Xie Chiyuan saw Yu An clutching the pillow, as if she wanted to run away. His eyelids twitched, and he tactically compromised: "Fine, I won't touch you."
He backed down a step: "Let me kiss you. We haven't kissed in so long, An'an, don't you want a kiss?"
Yu An wanted it a little.
He still really enjoys kissing Xie Chiyuan.
Under Xie Chiyuan's gentle coaxing, Yu An hesitantly moved closer. He tilted his head back, looking as if he would let Xie Chiyuan kiss him.
Xie Chiyuan was not the kind of gentleman who could remain unmoved by a woman's advances.
He pulled Yu An into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her. This time, he could finally call her by other names: "Baby, so good."
Yu An was so dizzy from the kiss that she lost the ability to think.
Xie Chiyuan did indeed possess a natural talent for doing roguish things. He gently guided Yu An, letting the kiss slowly spread down from their lips.
