Since he didn't take the initiative, Xiao Yu'an, who had no impression of him, naturally wouldn't either.
Gu's father was somewhat surprised by Xiao Yu'an's sudden closeness to Xie Chiyuan.
"OK."
Gu Ainan smiled and invited Xie Chiyuan, "An'an wants you to stay, so let's have dinner together."
These days, Xie Chiyuan is all alone, and he looks quite desolate.
After Xiao Yu'an invited Xie Chiyuan to stay for dinner the first time, she noticed that she sought out Xie Chiyuan more often afterward.
"Big brother, can you tell me a story to put me to bed?"
"Big brother, I have a really bad headache lately."
"Big brother, I've grown up again."
Xiao Yu'an is growing up too fast. His father and the people around him have deliberately restricted his living area, so no outsider can see his growth rate.
His father had already calmed him down, telling him he wasn't a little monster and that he would soon be like everyone else.
With the comfort of her father and everyone else, Xiao Yu'an's mental state has remained healthy.
While Xiao Yu'an was working hard to grow taller, the A-sequence mutant babies were urged by Xie Chiyuan to go to the Mutant Alliance.
With the last few madmen who were threatening the world dead, their world is now, at least for the time being, quite stable.
Humans, mutants, and superhumans exist in a delicate balance.
Xie Chiyuan was appointed as the leader of humanity, while Erzai was put in charge of the Aberration Alliance after Dazai and Erzai made their own choices.
However, Erzai is no longer as ambitious as before. Rather than managing the mutants, he prefers to stay in the West District.
After noticing his wavering, Xie Chiyuan thought for two days, and then—
He sent Pei Si to the Aberration Alliance.
With Pei Si in the Aberration Alliance, Erzai's mood improved considerably.
now.
There are less than three days until Yu An's birthday. All the kids are starting to look for birthday presents for their big brother again.
The chubby boy was extremely worried.
He picked a lot of flowers, but he felt that none of them were pretty enough.
"Beep beep."
The chubby boy cupped his chubby face in his hands and looked at Qiuqiu with a worried expression: "Fatty, the present."
"You've already given a gift, so you don't need to give another one."
Grandma was the best gift Little Fatty brought back, so Little Fatty didn't need to bring another gift.
Although Chiu Chiu was trying to comfort him, the little fat boy didn't think so.
He still wanted to give Da Bobo a gift.
Everyone secretly planned Yu An's birthday celebration without telling him.
Xie Chiyuan originally planned to formally propose to Yu An on her birthday.
Although the two of them agreed to get married once everything settled down.
However, Xie Chiyuan is a person who values rituals, and he would definitely propose seriously before getting married.
"Brother Xie, are you still planning to propose?"
Pei Si, who hadn't been sent out yet, asked Xie Chiyuan during their casual chat.
Xie Chiyuan had already prepared the ring. He touched the ring he always carried, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Let's wait a little longer."
He couldn't possibly propose to Xiao Yu'an.
He has to wait until his An'an grows up, until his An'an remembers him.
Pei Si leaned against the door frame and sighed sincerely.
"Sigh, you two have had a tough journey."
“I heard from Erzai that, judging from An'an’s current growth rate, it won’t be long before she turns back to her old self.”
"Brother Xie, if we're really going to get married, you should get married first. I'll be your best man."
When the topic of marriage comes up, Xie Chiyuan may not be able to get married right now, but there is a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
From the moment he started dating Yu An, he had already planned to marry her and spend the rest of his life with her.
The two chatted idly, and time passed by without them realizing it.
On the eve of my birthday.
Xie Chiyuan checked the venue one last time. The kids were all with Yu An. Standing next to Xie Chiyuan were Sun Mo, Xiao Lu, Pei Si, and other of his own people.
"Everything has been checked, and there are no problems."
Because of their identities, Sun Mo and Xiao Lu have to stay in the West District. They have now adapted to life in the West District.
The re-establishment of the world order, as well as the reconstruction and management of various places, are all facing a shortage of manpower.
Xie Chiyuan would occasionally ask Sun Mo to help out outside, which was also a way to let him go out and see more of the world during fieldwork.
Xie Chiyuan followed Sun Mo and looked at the set-up area. He walked slowly, saying as he went, "I wonder if An'an will like it."
"Probably."
Sun Mo's primary professional role is the vice principal of the Aberration Kindergarten. Although she is called the vice principal, she is practically the same as the principal.
Yu An was always away; he was the one who handled everything, big and small, at the kindergarten.
Perhaps due to work, Sun Mo's communication skills are much better than before.
After talking to Xie Chiyuan about the venue for a while, their conversation drifted to the North District.
"The population in the northern region has plummeted, and several cities have very small populations."
“Our western district has a much better population situation. According to the current population growth rate, it won’t be long before our western district’s total population firmly holds the top spot.”
"At that time, we can move some of our staff to the North District."
The North District was ravaged by war, and none of the successive administrators were able to manage it properly.
Now, the North District has fallen to the bottom of the four districts.
Especially the position of North District Manager, no one dares to sit in it.
No one will say much about Xie Chiyuan intervening in the affairs of the Northern District at this time.
However, Xie Chiyuan disagreed with Sun Mo's statement: "If we move the people from the West District there, from the perspective of the North District, we will be nothing short of invaders."
"The development history of the North District is neither as good nor as bad as that of our West District."
“They’re in disarray right now, but it won’t be an easy task for us to really take over the North District.”
Expanding territory and annexing the North District sounds impressive.
But annexation would mean war between the two districts. In the northern district, the upper class would be in turmoil, not that the ordinary people below would all die. These ordinary people would not tolerate their homes being taken away.
Xie Chiyuan didn't want to do a losing business.
People in the western district don't lack housing, so there's no need for them to occupy land.
"An'an and I have always believed in the paramount importance of peace."
Xie Chiyuan said to Sun Mo, "Now we need to focus our energy on the development of the western district."
Sun Mo hummed in agreement and didn't bring up what had just been said again.
After inspecting the venue, Sun Mo and Xiao Lu left.
Xie Chiyuan returned to his room.
Yu An hasn't been in his room, on this bed, for a long time.
Xiao Yu'an insisted on sleeping with him, but Xie Chiyuan refused her request before Gu Ai'nan could object.
On the day she was rejected, Xiao Yu'an was so angry that she ate two extra bowls of rice!
He used to refuse to eat much, but he felt he had become a bit chubby from being overfed, so he wanted to eat less to look better.
It has to be said that Xiao Yu'an has been vain since she was a child.
After throwing a tantrum and still not getting what she wanted, Xiao Yu'an reluctantly gave up the idea of sleeping with Xie Chiyuan.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Yu'an had a bad temper, but she didn't come to see Xie Chiyuan for two days in a row.
Xie Chiyuan hadn't seen him for two days.
He wanted to go and see, but Gu Ainan treated him politely and told him that An'an wanted to play by herself.
Thinking of this, Xie Chiyuan frowned slightly.
It's been almost a week since I returned from MiShield.
When will Xiao Yu'an grow up?
Thinking about this question, Xie Chiyuan gradually became sleepy.
He only slept for a short while.
The alarm clock rang at 12 o'clock, and Xie Chiyuan, who was lying in bed, woke up on time.
If it were before, he would have confessed his feelings to Yu An at this time.
But now—
Xiao Yu'an went to bed early.
Xie Chiyuan couldn't possibly disturb Xiao Yu'an's sleep. So, he logged into his social media account and sent Yu'an a birthday greeting.
The comment section under this birthday wish quickly filled with many comments.
Happy birthday, and may you live a long and happy life together.
Happy birthday! I hope you will be happy.
"Happy birthday. I don't know what to say, so I'll just follow the trend and wish you happiness."
