"He hasn't left yet."
Xie Chiyuan explained An Qing's situation clearly: "He went to find Qiuqiu. He didn't have anything to do just now, so he left early."
Not only is Fifth Child gone, but Second Child is gone too.
Yu An said "Oh" and planned to go call Wu Zai.
And at this very moment.
The five little ones were standing in front of Qiuqiu, who was now in her adult form.
His form is always unpredictable; sometimes he transforms directly into his original form, sometimes he shrinks to a smaller size, and sometimes he reverts to his adult form.
His adult form was very beautiful, especially his eyes, which had a pure and innocent quality.
"Meow meow, help me get through this."
Chiu Chiu shoved the game console in her hand into Wu Zai's phone, begging him to help her pass the level.
Qiuqiu has also learned to play games thanks to Bazai, but he can't beat Bazai when it comes to games, and his game gets stuck while he's playing.
Eighty has already completed the game, but he hasn't passed it yet.
Wu Zai took the game and, while playing it for him, asked casually, "Where were you before we found Big Brother?"
Chirp: "..."
Chirp, it got stuck for a moment.
His fingers tightened slightly, indicating he was tense.
He didn't want to tell Miaomiao about the past.
"I'm outside, I'm sleeping." Chiu Chiu wasn't very good at lying; he wouldn't look people in the eye when he lied.
Meow Meow's face showed no sign of anything amiss. He simply asked, "Really? Sleeping? Did someone bully you?"
Chirp fell silent.
After remaining silent for a moment, he spoke again, attempting to change the subject.
"Where are you in the game? Will I be able to pass the level today?"
Wu Zai lowered his head, pressed the buttons a few more times, and then handed the game console to him.
"This hurdle is over. I'll finish the rest when I get back."
"ah?"
Chiu Chiu froze: "Didn't you already leave? Are you leaving again?"
"Yes, I'll be back soon."
As Wu Zai spoke, he seemed to hear footsteps behind him.
He stood up and said to Qiuqiu one last time, "Be good here and wait for me to come back."
Chiu Chiu grabbed his arm and looked at him longingly.
"You just got back? Can't you stay a little longer?"
Wu Zai was being held by him, and it took a while before he finally removed his hand.
I will be back soon.
He repeated the sentence, and then, under Qiuqiu's reluctant gaze, he followed Yu An away.
Yu An just wants to resolve the lab issue as soon as possible.
Once the mutation's internal structure is stabilized, he can focus on finding his father without any distractions.
With Wu Zai around, Yu An didn't even drive the car.
He sat on the tiger, which had transformed back to its original form, and the two of them headed towards the East District.
I don't know how long I ran.
The two finally arrived at their destination, and the eldest son, having received the news, specially picked them up.
Chapter 174
When Zhai Man saw him picking up someone, he called him to stop: "Wait a moment."
If it were just Wu Zai coming back, that would be one thing, but now Yu An has also arrived.
Yu An's status and position are now even more important than before, not to mention that he is also the eldest son's older brother.
Zhai Man told Da Zai to wait while he changed his clothes before coming out.
"Alright, let's go."
Zhai Man walked alongside him, her tone tinged with doubt: "Why did your older brother suddenly decide to come over? Didn't he say why he was coming?"
The eldest child was also confused.
He shook his head and frowned, saying, "They didn't say anything; it came rather suddenly."
Usually, when the older brother is coming, he will inform him in advance.
Moreover, when he contacted Wu Zai this time, he felt that Wu Zai's attitude seemed a bit off.
"Never mind, I won't think about it anymore."
Seeing his furrowed brows, Zhai Man comforted him, saying, "Your older brother probably came here because he missed you. All the other kids are with him, only you aren't."
He must be worried about you.
Zhai Man's words resonated with Da Zai. His tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and remembering that his older brother had come to see him because he was worried about him, he quickened his pace.
As Zhai Man continued walking with him, he kept his head down and made arrangements for the people.
Yu An is coming over; he needs to arrange accommodations.
While Zhai Man was looking down at the message, he suddenly put his arm around Zhai Man's shoulder and pulled him close.
"Watch the road."
The eldest son's brow, which had just relaxed, furrowed slightly again: "Didn't you see such a big rock?"
Zhai Man: "..."
Zhai Man sent out the last message, then put away his phone and began to carefully observe the road ahead.
The two quickly reached the intersection; Wu Zai knew the way back very well.
When the eldest son came over, he saw them walking over as well.
"Big brother."
Zhai Man's words just now filled Da Zai's heart with warmth after seeing Yu An.
In his heart, his eldest brother has always been the most important person.
Yu An looked at him but did not respond.
The eldest son paused, thinking he hadn't heard him clearly, and called out again, "Big brother, what brings you here?"
This time, Yu An finally reacted. He turned his head and glanced at the tiger beside him.
The older cub followed his gaze and saw the tiger cub.
"Fifth son, you're back."
The eldest son gave the fifth son a perfunctory greeting, and then looked away.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that both his eldest brother and his fifth son were acting a little strange in front of him.
Zhai Man was very perceptive, and he also sensed that something was wrong.
"Yu An, Wu Zai, you must be tired from your journey. I've arranged a restaurant for you. I'll take you there for a meal, and then you can get some rest."
Zhai Man smiled warmly at his family, his expression genuine: "Yu An, I happen to have something I'd like to discuss with you."
"I also have something to talk to you about."
Yu An spoke up, her tone indifferent: "But I have some things to take care of with Da Zai right now. We'll talk after we're done."
Upon hearing this, Zhai Man hesitated somewhat during the interview.
But Yu An was Ling Yi's older brother after all. Although he felt inexplicably uneasy, he also felt that Yu An couldn't possibly be here to beat up the kid.
Last time Yu An came to meet Ling Yi, he had already beaten Ling Yi.
A cub can't be subjected to the same treatment twice in a row.
Zhai Man composed himself and tactfully made room for them: "Alright, you two chat. I'll come pick you up when you're done. By the way, is Wu Zai coming with me?"
"No, thank you."
The tiger, who hadn't yet transformed back into human form, was also looking at the cub. His tone was cold: "I also have something to settle with him."
Big cub: "..."
The eldest son vaguely guessed what was going on.
Seeing that Zhai Man seemed reluctant to leave, he said, "You go back first, I'll go back later."
Zhai Man hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded.
As soon as he left, Wu Zai led the way. He knew exactly where the spacious areas were.
Not long after.
The two children and their older brother all arrived at a large, undisturbed area, a place that Zhai Man had specially prepared for him to rest.
This area covers a large area and contains a large lake with many trees planted around it.
When the big cub reverts to its original form, it will be very comfortable to stay in this environment.
However, when he stayed here in his original form, Zhai Man never dared to approach him.
"Tell me, Fifth Son, what's wrong with you?"
"Why did you keep Chiu Chiu's matter from me?" Wu Zai asked calmly, but his inorganic amber eyes were full of coldness.
