Summary: Yu An is a pitiful little cub. After his grandmother passed away, he lives in a rundown tin shed next to a filthy garbage dump, with only a little dog accompanying him.
The little do...
Chapter 10: I Can Hold a Baby
The parents discussed the relevant matters and planned to schedule Yu An's welcome party on the 3rd of next month in Kyoto. Lin Huaichen would inform the friends who needed to be formally invited, and the assistant would post the invitations for the others.
Both sets of parents stayed here for two or three days. Yi Ruxin bought Yu An a mobile phone and tablet, downloaded contact software for him, added her number, and taught him how to use it. "Whenever you miss grandma, just call us via video."
Yu An tapped on the tablet curiously, "Yeah! Thank you, grandma~"
Lin Huaichen felt that Mother Lin was being superfluous and placed a hand on Wen Xun's shoulder. "If you want to be with An An, you can call us via video. It's not like we won't let you see your grandson."
"Don't you understand, son?" Yi Ruxin sneered, "I bought him a tablet just because I didn't want you to disturb An An and me. Why should he look at you when he can see my precious grandson directly?"
Lin Huaichen: “…”
It hurts my mom.
Wen Xun rubbed Lin Huaichen's fur. Although his mother no longer loved him as a big son, he still liked him.
Wen Yun watched them bickering with a faint smile. When the time came, she said softly, "Ruxin, we should go."
When Yi Ruxin heard her call, he immediately left his obedient grandson behind, picked up the suitcase and walked quickly to Wen Yun. The other two men also came over, each dragging a suitcase.
Lin Huaichen was surprised, "Are you leaving together?"
It’s not on the way.
Yi Ruxin put on sunglasses and took Wen Yun's arm. "We're going on a world tour and will be back next month. Don't call us if there's nothing to do, and don't call us if there's something to do. Of course, except An An."
Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun: "..."
Yi Ruxin blew a kiss to Yu An, "Goodbye, An An~"
Yu An imitated Yi Ruxin, touched his lips with his fingers, raised his hand and waved, and blew a non-standard kiss, "Grandpa and grandma, goodbye~"
"Don't see you for now."
Hicks, who had been silent all this time, put down the box and suddenly asked to take a photo of Yu An. Yu An was being held by Lin Huaichen and did not refuse. "Yes, take a photo."
Hicks took out his camera, but hesitated to take a picture. Instead, he looked at Wen Xun, "Can you hold An An? Ruoyi said she doesn't want to see Lin Huaichen. He will ruin her good mood."
Lin Huaichen: “…”
Ruoyi Tarleton is Wen Xun's half-sister, ten years younger than Wen Xun. Before Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen got married, Wen Xun often took her out to play, and they had a very good relationship.
Later, Wen Xun got married and moved to the Lin family. Ruoyi, who was only ten years old, always believed that it was Lin Huaichen who abducted Wen Xun. On the wedding day, she cried as if she had lost her brother, and she never had a good face towards him since then.
Yu An didn't know the grudge, he only heard Lin's father complaining quietly: "The little bastard has no conscience. He even bought her candy in the past."
Wen Xun glanced at him dimly, "She doesn't dare to have those rotten teeth pulled out yet."
Lin Huaichen: “…”
Yu An was handed over to Wen Xun. He naturally hugged his father's neck and looked back at the camera.
Snap——
The photo captured this moment: the young man with delicate features smiled faintly and looked down at the little one in his arms. The child with lake-blue eyes stared at the camera in a daze.
Both the big and the small are very photogenic, and the picture is beautiful and harmonious.
After the photo was taken, Yu An asked curiously, "Who is Ruoyi?"
"Your little aunt." After Wen Xun responded to Yu An, he looked up and asked Wen Yun and Hicks, "Why didn't she come this time? She didn't even want to see Lin Huaichen, did she?"
For a moment, Wen Yun and Hicks looked a little strange. Wen Xun looked at Lin Huaichen in surprise. Did he really beat Ruoyi secretly?!
Lin Huaichen could tell Wen Xun's thoughts with just one look and immediately clarified, "I don't know anything. That little girl blocked me on the day I married you and hasn't said a word to me in all these years."
Wen Yun's mood plummeted when she talked about this. She raised her chin slightly and let Hicks explain.
Hicks spoke briefly, coughing slightly awkwardly, "Zoe got drunk and signed a contract to sell herself to someone else, and now she's working for them."
Wen Xun: “…”
There were thousands of words in his heart, but after thinking about it, he didn't say a word. He lowered his head and looked at the little Yu An who was lying on his shoulder obediently, "Don't learn to drink in the future."
Drinking will cause trouble.
After both sets of parents left, only the family of three were left in the manor. The atmosphere became inexplicably quiet. Yu An felt a little melancholy in his heart and was reluctant to leave Lin's mother and the others.
Wen Xun noticed the child's mood change and said, "We will return to Kyoto next month. There will be many children coming to play with you. If you like Kyoto, we can live there for a while."
In fact, this manor in Blue Moon Bay was newly built in recent years. Because the base needed Wen Xun to help advance the CAF plan, Wen Xun often had to go to Blue Moon Bay and often did not go home for two or three days.
In order to stay with Wen Xun, Lin Huaichen simply built a Lin family in Blue Moon Bay.
Lin Huaichen nodded in agreement, picked up Yu An and let him sit on his lap, "Children need to make more friends, otherwise it will be so boring. Aren't you happy to have children of your age to play with you?"
Yu An had seen children of his age. When he was picking up trash, these children would make faces at him and say that he was an unwanted child. Sometimes they would even deliberately kick away the bottles he was trying to pick up.
He doesn't like them.
Yu An pursed his lips and said in a muffled voice, "I prefer to draw with Daddy Wen and don't want to play with other kids."
He doesn't want to play with other kids because they will bully him.
Wen Xun raised the corners of his lips when he heard that. "Then play with me. I'll take you to paint."
Lin Huaichen didn't know the reason and thought Yu An really didn't like playing with his peers, so he stopped forcing him. "Okay, but you can't stay in the studio all day. You need to exercise properly. Otherwise, why don't you get up early every day and run with me?"
Thinking of the scene of their family running together, Lin Huaichen looked expectantly.
But it was obvious that his wish was wishful thinking.
Wen Xun: "No."
Yu An: "Running is tiring. I won't go."
Lin Huaichen: "...Just pretend I didn't say anything."
But Yu An and Wen Xun could refuse to run in the morning, but they could not escape running at night.
When the sun was about to set, Lin Huaichen took the two, one big and one small, out as usual and ran along the path around the manor. In order to urge them to run, Lin Huaichen tied a rope around Yu An and Wen Xun's waists, and he ran with them in front.
When tying up Wen Xun, Wen Xun's eyes were full of resentment, "Let's get a divorce."
He doesn't want to run.
Lin Huaichen kissed him on the cheek and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
He turned around and tied up Yu An with a rope. Because the little guy had a weak sense of balance, Lin Huaichen tied the rope around his wrist. Looking at the child's wrinkled face, Lin Huaichen pinched his little nose with evil intentions.
Yu An imitated Wen Xun's words just now, "You can leave first... um!"
Lin Huaichen covered his mouth and said, "Baby, don't say such things carelessly. Don't learn from your father."
Yu An lowered his head dejectedly. He didn't want to run.
Because there was a three-year-old child in this small team, Lin Huaichen, who was leading the way, slowed down, ran around the manor, and then led the two back.
Yu An and Wen Xun slumped half-dead on the sofa, waiting for Aunt Liu to call for dinner.
Lin Huaichen sat next to Wen Xun and massaged his shoulders in a flattering manner. Seeing Yu An leaning against the back of the sofa and sighing, he smiled and said, "Come, Daddy will massage you too."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to pinch his little shoulder, but Yu An had a lot of itchy spots there. Yu An giggled, "Hahaha, no need to pinch it, Daddy... it's itchy..."
Lin Huaichen then withdrew his hand and continued to massage Wen Xun with a smile on his lips.
At this time, Butler Yide came over with two glasses of water, shook his head and laughed, "You still need to exercise more, Young Master, Little An'an. I even suspect that my old bones are stronger than yours."
Wen Xun didn't want to stand out in this regard. "Grandpa, you are better than me. Don't doubt yourself."
Yu An also covered his stomach and pulled the corner of Yide's clothes, "Grandpa... I'm so tired and hungry, let's eat first..."
Butler Yide couldn't do anything about them, so he went to the kitchen to take a look, and when he was sure that it was time to eat, he immediately came to call them to eat.
Maybe this run took up too much of Yu An's energy, so he ate two bowls of rice, which was unusual for him. He used a children's bowl. Two bowls were actually just the size of an ordinary bowl, but it was still a lot for a child.
Yu An's belly was bulging from eating so much, but he was obviously full. The lingering feeling of hunger in his heart still lingered. Looking at the dishes on the table, he had no appetite at all.
Wen Xun saw him put down the spoon and asked, "Are you full?"
"Hmm...I'm full."
Yu An felt that he should be full. Although he was still a little hungry, he really couldn't eat anymore.
After dinner, Yu An went to brush his teeth and take a shower, then put on his little yellow duck pajamas. The chick that had just hatched was standing in the eggshell, with half of the eggshell on its head, looking very cute.
Yu An's face was as confused as that of a chick. He lifted his clothes to look at his bulging belly and poked it, "You are full, why are you still hungry?"
Yu An sighed and stared at the ceiling with his bright eyes. The hunger that could not be ignored spread from his stomach and intestines to his whole body. He tossed and turned for a long time and finally fell asleep in the second half of the night.
After he fell asleep, a tall figure slowly appeared at the head of his bed.
The tall young man stared at the little ball on the bed. His whole body was wrapped in a thick black mist, as if he was wearing a black robe, and strange black patterns were climbing on his white and slender neck.
Although his face is handsome, he has a fierce look, and the light black patterns on his face make his temperament even more strange and unpredictable.
Solande stretched out his hand, his arms covered with strong muscles, but he was extremely gentle when hugging Yu An. He skillfully picked Yu An up from the bed, holding his little butt with one hand and supporting his waist with the other.
Yu An hummed uneasily twice and struggled twice in Solander's arms, as if he was about to wake up. Solander was so scared that he held his breath. Using the knowledge he had learned during this period, he patted the little guy's back gently twice.
As expected, Yu An's tightly furrowed eyebrows slowly relaxed, and he exclaimed:
ЙàΝf
Her breathing gradually became steady, and she found a comfortable position in Solander's arms and fell into a deep sleep again.
Solander pulled the corners of his lips, but on his fierce face, this smile that simply expressed joy looked a little creepy in this dim little room.
Solander felt the milk-scented little cub nestled in his arms, its soft cheek pressed against his neck. The sense of accomplishment and love that came from having the little guy depend on him filled his heart.
The Usatos boy held Yu An in his arms and looked up at the starry sky, feeling incredibly proud. Did you see that? Stupid people, he can hold a cub now!
At the same time, Solander received a message from another of his kind, "Solander, I found my cub!"
Solander: ...?
What the hell?!
