Outside of space.
Ying Jian stood with the others where Yu An had disappeared, and Yan Meng also came over: "Doctor, shall we go in?"
"No need," Ying Jian said calmly. "He can get out."
Yan Meng pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty: "It's my fault for not keeping a close eye on him. If I had been watching him more closely, I would have taken him away directly..."
"It's not your fault."
Ying Jian's expression remained unchanged; he hadn't realized Yu An's purpose earlier.
He ordered the others to prepare to leave as usual, and told them to wait there and inform Yu An and the others as soon as they came out.
He knew that Yu An had a wound, which he had seen when Yu An rolled up his sleeves.
Having an injury and entering a place like this, if it's just a common injury, the impact might not be too great. But if it's a more serious injury, the consequences could be quite troublesome.
Outside this area, A05 and A07 stand side by side.
When do we go in?
"In a moment."
Both A05 and A07 knew there was a folded space inside, and A05 even had some knowledge of the interior. But he didn't know what he was waiting for, so he didn't go in.
A07 stayed with him, still not understanding his intentions.
"Fifth Brother, are you here to see Big Brother?" Seventh Brother suddenly realized that Fifth Brother seemed to have been here for quite a while when he arrived.
It seems the older brother came here not to meet him. It's more like they just bumped into each other by chance.
As expected, Wu Zai replied calmly, "No."
His target is someone else.
Whether or not Fifth Brother should go in to find his eldest brother was a question that Seventh Brother couldn't answer. He was looking ahead when his phone rang urgently.
He had accidentally turned off the silent mode, which was why his phone was ringing. He glanced at the caller ID; it was another familiar number.
"Five little ones."
Seven's eyes darted around, and his voice was even gentler than before.
Listening to his tone and glancing at his expression, Wu Zai knew exactly what was going on.
This fickle person is making a choice again.
He always did this when choosing a direction: his seemingly affectionate eyes would dart around, revealing a deep well of thought.
The opportunistic kid didn't disappoint Wu Zai's guess. He rolled his eyes and asked, "We're both Big Brother's kids. If I get into trouble, will you protect me?"
Without hesitation, Wu Zai replied, "No."
Wallflower: "..."
Damn, how heartless.
Undeterred, he continued, "Do you think I can seek my elder brother's protection?"
Wu Zai's face had turned cold, and he said coldly, "No, get out."
The grass that was supposed to be Seventh Child was now completely beyond Fiveth Child's reach. He looked down at his phone again, a hint of barely perceptible anxiety in his expression.
"All right."
He muttered to himself, his gaze refocusing on what lay ahead: "If you won't let my older brother protect me, then I'll protect him instead."
Anyway, as long as he stays by his older brother's side, he doesn't want to be a prodigal son anymore.
Wu Zai turned his head and sized him up, his eyes clearly looking at a troublemaker. He didn't want this troublemaker to bring trouble to his eldest brother.
Just as the two little ones were looking at each other, there was finally some movement not far away.
Yu An found Xie Chiyuan in the space.
He could easily enter and exit the space, but he didn't feel good inside. His blood felt like it was burning, and his throat was also burning.
The discomfort caused by the wound becomes even more apparent at this time.
The phone is still working, and the location function of the couple's app is stubbornly still operating.
Using this feature, Yu An found Xie Chiyuan within 10 minutes of entering, and—
He was a baby octopus that was almost dried out.
Chiu Chiu slurped and asked, "Is Ba Zai making roasted little tentacles?"
Yu An: "..."
His cubs can't possibly want to eat him all the time!
Yu An strode forward, first hugging Xie Chiyuan, and before Xie Chiyuan could hug him back, he shifted his target and picked up Ba Zai: "Ba Zai did it!"
Yu An dared not delay.
He stuffed Bazai into his pocket, handed Qiuqiu to Xie Chiyuan, then grabbed Xie Chiyuan's arm and ran towards the entrance they had just come in through.
It's not only hot inside, but it also has a strange smell.
Yu An felt extremely uncomfortable; with him around, no space could confine them.
The walking space shredder, carrying her husband and child, rushed out in a flurry. The family of four didn't even exchange a single warm word before hurrying out.
Chapter 107
Before he could even stand properly, Yu An bumped right into the person waiting for him.
"Yu An".
When Yan Meng saw Xie Chiyuan being held by him, her face turned extremely sour: "Didn't you promise me you wouldn't tell him?"
Yu An: "..."
Yu An also gave him a sour look, her tone not very pleasant: "You've already trapped him here, so you know he's here, don't you?"
Yan Meng choked.
The two looked at each other, neither of them really in the right.
Yan Meng snorted and explained, "We just set up the security measures casually, who knew he would fall for it."
The person standing next to Yan Meng had already informed Ying Jian of the situation.
Not long after.
Ying Jian, dressed in neat white overalls, walked over. He wasn't nearsighted, but he still wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his nose.
"An'an".
He walked over and spoke to Yu An in the same tone of an elder: "What happened to you? Go get it treated."
Seeing Xie Chiyuan being led by Yu An, Ying Jian frowned, then looked at Yu An and sighed softly: "An'an, you should know that the West District is against me, and the person you're holding hands with—"
He won't do anything to you.
Yu An interrupted him and introduced seriously, "He is my boyfriend, Uncle Ying. You locked him up without telling me."
Ying Jian stared intently at him. In Yu An's gaze, he seemed to have compromised: "An'an, I care about you, but I can't treat a dangerous person like this."
After saying this, he pressed his temples and sighed, "Do you really have to be with him now?"
Yu An nodded.
Ying Jian looked Xie Chiyuan up and down with the eyes of a parent: "Mr. Xie, please forgive my previous rudeness."
He said calmly, "An'an's father was my teacher, and I am also considered An'an's elder. Now that my teacher is gone, I have an obligation to take care of An'an. I will not comment on your relationship, but if you insist on being with An'an, I will carefully examine your feelings for him."
He said a lot, then instructed, "Stay until tonight, let An'an and Mr. Xie get some rest."
Xie Chiyuan had been trapped for so long that his clothes were in terrible condition. He glanced at Ying Jian but didn't say a word from beginning to end.
At this moment, Yu An just wanted Xie Chiyuan to have a moment of peace. He led Xie Chiyuan away and back to his room.
There is a bathroom in the room.
The dried-out little octopus was soaked in water, and Xie Chiyuan quickly took off his clothes and took a shower under the showerhead.
Chirp chirp is outside and hasn't come in.
Yu An blushed as she looked at Xie Chiyuan, who had already taken off his clothes, and pressed his hand down: "Baby, the baby is still here, you should at least keep one piece of clothing."
Xie Chiyuan looked down at the octopus that was submerged in the water, its eyes closed, occasionally blowing bubbles. He sighed helplessly, "This little guy hasn't even opened his eyes yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the octopus stubbornly uttered two words: "It's open!"
Even squinting eyes are still open eyes!
In a place like the bathroom, he had to keep an eye on Xie Chiyuan to make sure he didn't do anything strange to his older brother.
This was Xie Chiyuan's first time taking a bath, and he couldn't even take off all his clothes.
He glanced at the baby octopus soaking in the water with a complicated expression, and after a few seconds of staring, he took the octopus, basin and all, out of the water.
"Chirp chirp, look at the little one."
Octopus can soak anywhere; there's no need to squeeze into the bathroom with him. The bathroom is so small; it's just right for him and An'an to squeeze in.
The little brat who was pulled out: "?"
presumptuous!
Before Bazai could even start cursing, Qiuqiu grabbed him with her little hands.
"Baby, you need to soak in the water properly."
Chiu Chiu squatted beside the water basin, watching him intently: "You can't run around like that, your little tentacles aren't as pretty as they used to be!"
Bazai: "..."
Bazai looked at the little tentacles, then sank into the water, feeling sullen and frustrated.
With Chiu Chiu keeping an eye on Ba Zai, the two adults in the bathroom finally had some peace and quiet, and could enjoy a short time alone.
"Baby."
