Yu An loves to sleep, whether he's traveling by car or plane. Not long after the plane took off, he leaned on Xie Chiyuan's shoulder and fell asleep.
Xie Chiyuan looked down at his phone.
Song Jun glanced at him and asked, "Instructor Xie, what are you doing?"
Xie Chiyuan didn't even look up: "Let me see if there are any high-paying tasks recently, I'll just do a few."
These kids clearly look down on his current salary.
Tsk.
He hasn't even saved enough for his wife yet, and now he has to save enough to raise his bratty kid.
Chapter 75
Song Jun's salary was several levels lower than Xie Chiyuan's.
He clearly didn't understand Instructor Xie's eagerness to make money: "Instructor Xie, I've heard from other people that you have a very high salary."
Xie Chiyuan used to be quite satisfied with his salary, but not so much anymore.
He didn't explain too clearly, only casually saying, "You're still young, there are many things you don't understand."
When a man reaches a certain stage, he has to shoulder the responsibility of supporting his family.
Although society now encourages couples to earn money together, Xie Chiyuan, influenced by his father, still maintains old-fashioned traditional thinking. In this traditional mindset, once he marries a wife, he must cherish and take good care of her.
As for the children his wife brought with her, he naturally had to raise them as well.
Song Jun chuckled and said, "Thank you, Instructor. I'm not that young anymore. Many of my peers are already dating, and I want to date too."
Xie Chiyuan hummed in agreement, offering a casual word of encouragement: "Talk to them if you find someone suitable. Good luck."
Song Jun coughed twice, and seeing that Yu An still hadn't woken up, he had no choice but to give up the idea of chatting with Yu An.
He focused intently on flying the plane, ignoring even Instructor Xie, who was sitting next to Yu An.
Inside Yu An's pocket, the three little ones overheard Xie Chiyuan's conversation but didn't react much. Like their eldest brother, they got airsick.
I don't know how long the plane has been flying.
After Song Jun landed the plane, the group took a boat back to the island.
Unlike when they left, when they returned, they found that the security measures around the island were much stricter than before.
Song Jun said, "Several accidents have happened on the island recently. Oh, and there's a bighead fish that keeps coming over to bother us. That fish is ugly, but it's very agile. I've tried to catch it several times but haven't been able to."
"To prevent it from hurting people, we have now taken some measures around the island."
Song Jun's mention of the big-headed fish made the little eight-headed fish in his pocket fall into deep thought.
He vaguely remembered having a foolish underling from this very sea. And last time, his foolish underling had told him that he was coming here to help him find his boss.
With Song Jun around, Little Eight didn't want to show his face. He planned to tell his older brother later.
Soon, everyone arrived on the island.
Yu An was not surprised at all to see Dr. Tang Yi, who had been waiting for who knows how long. Dr. Tang Yi's gaze did not linger on Xie Chiyuan's face.
Yu Anxin thought that since the little butterfly had already been exposed to the light, he simply brought it out in front of Xie Chiyuan.
"Hey."
Yu An handed the little butterfly to Tang Yi: "Look, he's perfectly fine."
With the little butterfly as a bribe, Dr. Tang Yi was clearly much more willing to treat Qiu Qiu.
The little butterfly lay half-dead in Tang Yi's palm, too lazy to play with him.
After Tang Yi took the little butterfly, she showed no intention of returning it.
Yu An was anxious, but because of Qiu Qiu, he couldn't just ask for it directly.
Tang Yi took Qiuqiu to get treatment. Yu An watched as Qiuqiu was taken inside, and he sat outside the examination room, anxiously waiting.
"An'an, look at me."
Xie Chiyuan cupped Yu An's face, soothing him: "Don't be afraid. A10's ability is immortality, so he won't be in any danger. Besides, Tang Yi's medical skills are excellent; he was the one who performed my surgery."
"Let's trust Dr. Tang, and let's trust Qiuqiu too, okay?"
With Xie Chiyuan's patient reassurance, Yu An gradually calmed down.
He's already brought Qiuqiu here; now all he has to do is wait for Qiuqiu to get healed.
He can't be so anxious.
The two waited outside for a while before Ruan Ke arrived.
Ruan Ke didn't come empty-handed; he had a lot of nutritional paste in his pocket.
"An'an".
Ruan Ke called out to him, "I just finished. Is Qiuqiu already checking things out?"
Yu An nodded.
Ruan Ke glanced at the door of the examination room; he had also brought milk for Yu An.
It was the special milk that Xie Chiyuan always gave Yu An to drink; I don't know how Ruan Ke noticed it.
"Here, I see you like to drink this."
Ruan Ke placed the milk in Yu An's hand and asked a couple more questions about Qiu Qiu's condition. Finally, he turned his attention to the other babies Yu An had mentioned.
"Where are the three little ones?"
Ruan Ke took out the nutritional paste he had prepared: "I brought this for them."
Yu An was once again touched by Dr. Ruan's thoughtfulness, and he took out the little mushrooms and octopuses from his pocket.
"There was also a little butterfly; Dr. Tang took him away."
Yu An explained, "Dr. Tang, I know that my little butterfly is a mutant. When the little butterfly was injured before, it was Dr. Tang who treated it."
As he spoke, he pointed to the little mushroom: "The little butterfly and the little mushroom have always been by my side. This is just Bazak; I only recently found him."
After Yu An finished introducing the kittens, Ruan Ke's gaze lingered on them.
Bazai had no liking for humans, especially since he knew that the human in front of him was Xie Chiyuan's parent.
"It's a little octopus."
The human in the white coat, under Ba Zai's wary gaze, reached out and touched him: "You look quite cute. Want some nutritional paste?"
After Ruan Ke finished speaking, he took out two nutritional pastes from his pocket and handed them to the baby octopus's two small tentacles.
The baby octopus's two tiny tentacles were wrapped around the nutrient paste, and the whole baby was stunned.
His appearance made Ruan Ke unable to resist pinching him again.
After the baby octopus was finished being sculpted, it finally realized what was happening.
The usually domineering and irritable Xiao Ba slowly turned pink with its little tentacles in front of the gentle Dr. Ruan, and then covered its face.
Xie Chiyuan raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding what was going on with this little one.
Yu An knew his own son quite well. He tiptoed and whispered in Xie Chiyuan's ear, "Dr. Ruan praised him for being cute."
The little bastard who usually swears is very irritable and dislikes humans.
But this human said he was cute.
Xie Chiyuan stared silently at the pink octopus, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Yu An picked up the pink baby and urged him to eat a couple of bites of nutritional paste, while Xiao Jiu was also given nutritional paste by Ruan Ke.
Xiao Jiu was very familiar with Ruan Ke; he had met Ruan Ke before Ruan Ke knew him.
But the moment Ruan Ke handed her the nutritional paste, Xiao Jiu, for some reason, met those gentle eyes and had a strange feeling that she had been caught red-handed.
But that must be an illusion!
Xiao Jiu accepted the nutritional paste without any hesitation, opened a box of her favorite flavor, and ate it.
Ruan Ke is very busy, and he only managed to squeeze in time to come see Yu An. After waiting with Yu An for a while, Dr. Tang Yi still didn't come out.
Yu An didn't want to waste Ruan Ke's time. He advised Ruan Ke, "Dr. Ruan, you go back to your work. I'll wait here."
Dr. Ruan didn't stand on ceremony with him, so he nodded.
After Ruan Ke left, Yu An looked at Xie Chiyuan and said, "Xie Chiyuan, you should go back and rest too. You've been driving for so long and on the plane for so long, you must be tired."
Xie Chiyuan didn't leave. He pinched Yu An's cheek and whispered, "You're not tired yet, how could I be tired?"
His physical strength isn't that bad.
Yu An couldn't get rid of him, so she had no choice but to wait with him.
Chiu Chiu's check-up was very long, so long that the two little ones both dozed off in Yu An's pocket, so long that Duo Duo and Chong Chong held hands and hugged his legs after hearing that they had returned.
The two little ones each clung to a different person: one hugged Yu An's leg, and the other hugged Xie Chiyuan's leg.
Xie Chiyuan looked at the two little ones and suddenly muttered, "Well, I'll have to add two more cubs."
His salary is really not enough.
Xie Chiyuan mentally calculated his salary. Duo Duo climbed onto his lap, her eyes sparkling as she reported, "Uncle, Dr. Ruan has someone build a kindergarten for us!"
Chongchong chimed in, "Yes! A kindergarten! A huge kindergarten!"
Xie Chiyuan was surprised: "The kindergarten is being built so quickly?"
Chongchong and Duoduo nodded at the same time, and Yu An was also happy to hear that. He had several other children here, and he had planned to send them all to kindergarten!
Especially his eighth child, he really needs to go to kindergarten!
Time passed by, bit by bit.
Even though Chongchong and Duoduo are very clingy, they are still too young to resist the body's biological clock.
The sky outside was getting darker and darker.
Yu An glanced at the two little ones yawning, nudged Xie Chiyuan's arm, and said in a low voice, "They'll catch a cold sleeping here. Tell someone to carry them back to sleep."
