"You were supposed to play in the mud?!"
"Eight, eighty-bastard."
Chiu Chiu, who had been lifted up, lowered her head and answered obediently.
Eighty was initially excited, but seeing that things were not going well, he rolled his eyes and ran away the next second.
Yu An: "!"
Yu An was so angry that his teeth itched: "You little brat, you stop right there!"
The rascal had a bad feeling and took off running like a rabbit. He dashed into the crowd as he ran.
The eldest brother is concerned about his reputation, so if there are many people around, he'll definitely avoid getting beaten up.
Bazai had high hopes, but reality was harsh.
Yu An was already furious. He saw that not only did he not stop, but he was running faster and faster. Moreover, he was already embarrassed enough in this state, but he was still running into the crowd!
Everyone in the base knows Yu An.
Yu An continued chasing after him, feeling utterly humiliated.
Bazai ran very fast, and Yu An, carrying a muddy little thing, had a hard time chasing him.
After being chased for three blocks and having countless photos taken of him, he was finally stopped.
Xie Chiyuan, who had just finished a meeting with his father, happened to see the mud-covered little boy flash by. He instinctively took a few steps and pulled the boy back.
"Whose unlucky kid is this?"
Xie Chiyuan asked in bewilderment, "How did it get like this?"
He had barely finished speaking when Yu An, who had caught up, appeared in his line of sight, panting heavily.
Yu An called out to Xie Chiyuan, "Keep an eye on this brat! He's driving me crazy! How can he run so fast?! When he goes to kindergarten, I'm making sure he participates in the long-distance running competition!"
Xie Chiyuan looked at Yu An, then at the muddy little thing he was holding, and belatedly realized, "Is this ours?"
Yu An was exhausted.
He shifted the mud-covered little guy in his arms to a different spot, then leaned against a telephone pole: "What else?"
Xie Chiyuan choked.
He glanced at the onlookers and said coldly, "What are you all looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone with a child before?"
Both parents clearly felt ashamed.
In the end, Yu An and Xie Chiyuan each carried one of the two unlucky kids back to take a bath.
Behind him.
Yin Qin stared at this scene for several seconds.
He had experienced similar distressing things when he was raising his son. Now, it's time for his son to taste what he went through.
This is probably what they call an eye for an eye.
Yin Qin watched his son leave, then took advantage of his lunch break to video chat with his wife. Usually, unless there were special circumstances, he would eat while video chatting.
Looking at my wife makes me feel good about eating.
About ten minutes later.
The two mud-covered little ones stood naked underwater. The little one had reverted to its original form, because it was more resilient to being beaten up that way.
He lay in the water, his little tentacles looking listless.
The mud in the ditch was sticky and hard to wash off. Bazai was still there; he was aquatic by nature. The hardest to wash off was Qiuqiu.
Chirp has a pair of small wings, and the wings are covered with fluff.
The muddy water seeped into his fur, and it was impossible to wash it clean in a short time. Yu An moved a small stool over, sat on it, took a soft gauze, and slowly rubbed Qiuqiu's little wings.
Chiu Chiu regretted it now.
He looked at his dirty little wings, his eyes brimming with tears: "Big brother, is Chirp going to get even uglier?"
His wings weren't pretty to begin with, and now that they're covered in mud, they must be even uglier.
Yu An was also being patient when doing this kind of meticulous work.
He lowered his head and continued to rub the little wings, while calming himself down and coaxing Chirp, "Once the wings are clean, they won't be ugly anymore."
While Yu An was rubbing Qiu Qiu's wings, Ba Zai had already washed himself clean.
Looking at the cleaned-up baby, Yu An ordered Xie Chiyuan without looking up, "Take the baby out and give it a good beating."
Chirp is not aquatic and is not familiar with water.
That daring Bazai took Qiuqiu into the muddy ditch this time; what if he takes Qiuqiu into the sea next time?
Most importantly, Little Chick's wings are really hard to wash!
Yu An was washing Qiu Qiu's wings in the bathroom until she was questioning her existence. Outside the bathroom, Ba Zai and Xie Chiyuan looked at each other, neither of them speaking first.
"Baby."
Xie Chiyuan glanced in the direction of the bathroom: "Do you know you were wrong?"
Bazai saw that Qiuqiu's wings were still not clean after being scrubbed, and that her older brother was having such a hard time washing them. Qiuqiu's eyes were also filled with tears, and she looked like she was about to cry at any moment.
He knew he was wrong, but he wouldn't admit it.
Xie Chiyuan poked his little tentacle and made a deal with him: "If you call me 'brother,' I won't beat you up, and I won't let your older brother beat you up either."
Bazai snorted, "No way."
If he just follows Xie's lead, wouldn't he lose face?
The standoff didn't last long. When his older brother didn't come out, Ba Zai peeked into the bathroom through the crack in the door. When he returned, it became eerily quiet.
He swallowed hard, and after a long while, he finally gave in.
"You, you said it yourself, you can't let my older brother beat me up."
Yu An usually takes a gentle approach to raising his kids, patiently caring for them. But everyone has a temper, and even the most gentle older brother has moments when he might hit his kids.
Bazai is the one who gets disciplined the most among all the kids.
He tugged at Xie Chiyuan's sleeve and reluctantly called out, "Sister-in-law."
Xie Chiyuan: "..."
Okay.
At least they were given family member status.
Xie Chiyuan didn't care about how he addressed Ba Zai. After Ba Zai called him "sister-in-law," he took Ba Zai to the bathroom.
soon.
Yu An was freed from the bathroom and took his place on the small stool, brushing Qiu Qiu's fur with a small brush, becoming the little rascal.
Before coming out.
Yu An also gave orders: "You can only come out when you've cleaned Qiuqiu up. Also, you're not allowed to hurt Qiuqiu. If Qiuqiu cries, you have to cry too."
After dealing with the two little ones, Yu An changed his clothes.
After I changed my clothes, lunch was brought to me.
Yu An still didn't know what his lunch was made of, but he was extremely satisfied with the restaurant. The main base's restaurant was already his dream restaurant.
Thanks to the light from the eight kids running around in the street, everyone in the base now knows that Yu An has a child.
As the news spread, somehow, Yu An was portrayed as a divorced mother with a child, and Xie Chiyuan was portrayed as a stepfather.
Upon hearing the news, Yu An was immediately stunned: "I, I'm not divorced."
Xie Chiyuan was his first love!
Xie Chiyuan pinched his cheek and laughed, "They're just teasing you. Some people even said you'll have babies, saying that Ba Zai and Qiu Qiu are my offspring, but I was a jerk before and didn't acknowledge you. Now I've had a change of heart and have finally accepted you."
Yu An was dumbfounded.
He reflexively looked at his stomach, puzzled: "Why would they spread such a ridiculous rumor? That men can't have children."
Xie Chiyuan thought for a moment and replied seriously, "They probably think that since there are already zombies and mutants, and all sorts of mutations every day, it's not too absurd for a boy to have a baby compared to these things."
indeed.
Every day, unconventional things happen in this world. In comparison, the rumor that Yu An is pregnant with Xie Chiyuan's child seems believable at first glance.
"Human imagination is truly rich."
Yu An concluded, "I will never listen to gossip again."
The days at the base were spent at a leisurely pace.
The two of them took care of the child together, Xie Chiyuan worked, and Yu Anxue farmed. The family of four seemed to be busy every day, as everyone was always doing something.
In the days that followed, after the bill legalizing mutants in the Eastern District was passed, some supplementary regulations were drafted. These regulations were mostly beneficial to humanity.
Yu An was somewhat opposed to these regulations after learning about them.
His own offspring are all mutants, so he naturally considers the protection of mutants' rights. What will happen to his offspring if the rights of mutants are not protected?
Yu An thought a lot, but this kind of thing was none of his business no matter how much he thought about it.
He was neither the leader of District Four nor did he hold any official position within it; frankly, he had little say in the matter.
fine.
After Xie Chiyuan's proposal in the East District was released, he then focused on fighting for the interests of the mutants.
Although the East District is currently receiving a lot of attention due to the Aberration issue, and other districts are already vying for it, hoping to obtain the Aberration from it, the West District has not lost out.
The West District's collaboration plan between humans and the Zombie King is progressing smoothly.
The Zombie King successfully completed one mission after another.
The East and West districts are of equal status.
Yu An knew that her tiger cub was in the East District, and when she contacted the tiger cub, she would ask about his situation.
"Brother, I'm safe in the East District."
