The eldest son remained silent for a moment.
Then, looking directly at Wuzai, he replied, "I thought you didn't care about this little chick."
After all, back in the research institute, Little Chick cried and wanted to be held by Meow Meow, but the big cat had never held her.
"He doesn't care about Chiu Chiu, but what about me?"
Yu An stood to the side, also calculating with Da Zai: "Whether I care about Qiu Qiu or not, Da Zai, don't you know?"
The eldest son remained silent.
The eldest brother cares about every single one of the cubs, and he naturally knows that.
"I had no other choice."
After many days, the eldest child confessed to his older brother for the first time: "Even if it wasn't Chuchu, but any other child, I would have made the same choice."
“I don’t mind sacrificing them, and I don’t mind sacrificing myself.”
"Big brother, there are so many mutants now, so many that even humans have to be wary. Isn't that a good thing?"
"Only the mutant groups of today truly possess the resources to contend with humanity."
The larger offspring contributed the most to the increase in the number of aberrations.
Looking at this little guy, at his unwavering gaze, at his unrepentant expression, Yu An knew very well—
Why did the eldest son go to such lengths to make the overall strength of the mutants stronger?
He wasn't doing this to rule the world; he was doing it for himself.
Of course, perhaps he had some ambition, but compared to himself, he chose himself.
Otherwise, when Yu An proposed that the mutants should coexist peacefully with humans, he would not have responded to his policy and would have terminated the mutant experiments in the laboratory on the spot.
The eldest son's intentions were good, but he still got a beating.
“You watched helplessly as Chuchu got hurt, and you did nothing to stop it.”
"So, tell me, did you deserve to be beaten up?"
Big cub: "..."
Before the cub could respond, the giant tiger pounced.
Almost the instant the tiger pounced, the cub reverted to its original form.
In an instant, a huge tiger and a giant python that was ten meters long were locked in a fierce struggle.
Yu An looked at them and realized that she couldn't seem to get a piece of the action.
When the cubs fight, their ferocity is unleashed, and bloodshed is inevitable.
Their large size made it impossible for Yu An to stand in the middle.
"never mind."
He stepped aside and watched the two of them fight. Normally, the fifth son wouldn't be able to beat the eldest son.
He had already planned that when the fifth cub couldn't beat the eldest cub, he would go up and slap the eldest cub a few times.
This kind of fight won't end quickly.
Yu An was very patient; he tolerated the fighting as long as it didn't involve life or death.
While the fighting continued on one side, Zhai Man, who hadn't yet seen Yu An emerge, grew increasingly anxious.
Unable to resolve the matter, he simply called Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan was also busy, but judging from his voice, he wasn't extremely busy.
"Xie Chiyuan."
"Hmm, what's up?"
"Yu An has come to the East District," Zhai Man said, making conversation. "Did you know?"
Xie Chiyuan smiled and said, "Of course I know. Did he arrive safely?"
"We've arrived."
Zhai Man replied, "He came with Wu Zai, but neither of them looked too happy. Now they've called Ling Yi away, and it looks like a conflict is about to break out."
“They’ve always had a good relationship. If any conflict does arise, we should try to mediate. Don’t you think so?”
Xie Chiyuan almost burst out laughing at Zhai Man's words.
"Zhai Man, don't you get tired of going around in circles like this?"
He already knew Zhai Man's intentions when the call came in.
He found Zhai Man's roundabout way of going in circles quite interesting.
"Don't worry, Yu An won't kick Da Zai out. Da Zai just needs to get a beating, but he'll be fine after that, so don't worry."
Zhai Man: "..."
Zhai Man's face darkened: "Why did he get beaten up?"
Ling Yi didn't even leave the East District, staying right under his nose and never causing any trouble.
Xie Chiyuan didn't say much, he only reminded him: "What do you think would be the reason that makes Wu Zai beat up Da Zai?"
After the phone call ended, Zhai Man still couldn't figure out why Da Zai had been beaten.
However, he was clever; from Xie Chiyuan's words, he astutely deduced—
It should be related to chirping.
The only reason that could make Wuzai so angry, to the point of wanting to break ties with Dazai, is this little chirp.
Upon hearing that it was a feud between the children, Zhai Man calmed down.
Ling Yi is A01, the leader of all aberrations, and the Five Kids can't defeat him.
With this in mind, Zhai Man calmly began arranging food, drinks, and accommodation for them.
I don't know how much time passed.
Xie Chiyuan looked at the darkening sky outside, then at his unresponsive phone.
His relaxed mood was no longer so relaxed.
After waiting a while longer, Xie Chiyuan resignedly sent a message to Yu An: "An'an, still not free?"
It's been so long, the abortion should be over by now.
A few minutes after the message was sent, Yu An finally replied.
"I'm eating. I'll tell you when I finish eating and come back to my room."
"OK."
On their first day here, Yu An and Zhai Man didn't get to talk much because they arrived a bit late.
He completed one task: beating the cubs.
No, that's not quite right. To be precise, it's watching the kids fight.
The eldest son gave way to the fifth son, and the fifth son slashed his body with several wounds that were almost visible to the bone.
In the end, it was Yu An who forcibly stopped them.
Seeing the blood on the eldest child's body, the fifth child gradually regained his senses.
This matter is now closed, and after Yu An finished eating, it was already late at night.
Zhai Man was examining Da Zai's wound, his attention completely focused on the injury, not even sparing Yu An a glance.
Seeing this, Yu An could only talk to him again tomorrow.
Back in the room.
Xie Chiyuan made a video call, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw Yu An on the other end of the video.
"An'an, are you happy to see the baby?"
What do you think?
Yu An refused to answer the question and instead reported the situation of his son's fight to Xie Chiyuan.
After reporting, Yu An shared his speculation: "The information provided by the mutants may not be accurate."
“I’m sure Big Brother isn’t lying to me; there’s no way he’s still creating mutants.”
"Da Zai won't fool you, but what about Zhai Man?"
Xie Chiyuan had finished washing up and was leaning lazily against the headboard when he asked Yu An, "Do you believe Zhai Man?"
Yu An thought for a moment and nodded: "I believe you."
Xie Chiyuan was a little surprised: "I remember you didn't have a good impression of him at first."
Yu An continued to nod.
He didn't have a good impression of Zhai Man at first, but after getting to know him, he felt that he was not a bad person.
At least, he's very good to his eldest son.
He will like anyone who is good to his baby.
"Since you trust Zhai Man, then have an open and honest talk with him tomorrow."
"Um!"
After finishing their business, Xie Chiyuan and Yu An started talking about family matters.
“An’an, now that we’re back from the East District, we’ll focus on finding your father.”
Xie Chiyuan also took Gu Ainan's disappearance very seriously. He had been collecting a lot of information recently.
"I promise you, I will find your father before we get married."
Xie Chiyuan's assurance made Yu An's eyes crinkle slightly.
He gave a heavy "hmm," then leaned closer to the screen and said something nice to Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan's eyes darkened instantly. He looked at Yu An opposite him and his Adam's apple bobbed: "An'an, say it again."
