Chapter 190 Hmm, he's almost out of energy.
Zhong Yuansheng's attempt to chime in undoubtedly earned him a glare from He Qilan.
"Just keep spoiling her!"
He Qilan verbally expressed her disdain, but her face was full of smiles.
The two finally received their daughter's call, and seeing Zhong Wan on the other end of the line, who remained unchanged, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After chatting for a few more minutes, the two hung up the phone without hesitation.
After all, they had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to chat aimlessly with Zhong Wan.
After hanging up the phone, He Qilan reached for her coat and put it on while urging, "Make yourself something to eat for lunch. I have to go check on the construction site in Shanghe Village. There's a lot to do."
Without waiting for Zhong Yuansheng's reply, He Qilan grabbed the electric scooter keys and left.
Zhong Wan had no idea about her parents' situation.
It was the first time Zhong Wan had lied to her parents, and although it was a white lie, she still felt a little guilty, afraid that they would see through her. She finally breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.
She wasn't the only one who breathed a sigh of relief; Zhong Yang and the others did too.
Upon seeing Lin Yan'an carrying Zhong Suisui, Pei Xingyu, who had been idly playing on his phone at the front desk, immediately stood up and ran over: "Uncle, Suisui!"
Meow~
When Zhong Suisui heard her name called, she turned her head to look at Pei Xingyu and meowed with her kitten-like face upturned.
"Sui Sui is awake! What about my aunt? Is she awake too?"
Pei Xingyu stared longingly at Zhong Suisui, then glanced at the direction behind them, and finally his gaze landed on Lin Yan'an.
Lin Yan'an smiled and nodded, "Yes, Wanwan is awake!"
His deep voice was a little hoarse, but it couldn't hide his excitement.
Pei Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief immediately after hearing this.
"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake."
Pei Xingyu quickly picked up his phone: "I have to tell Yang Ge right away and have him come over!"
Director Qin smiled and shook his head, then turned and walked to the spot where they had cleared out the space to place Mr. Du's portrait.
Lin Yan'an ignored Pei Xingyu and followed behind Director Qin, carrying Zhong Suisui.
The once-unused room on the first floor has now become a place to store Mr. Du's portrait.
The two people and the cat entered the room and immediately noticed the painting scroll lying flat on the table. Mr. Du in the painting had his eyes closed, and the ink on the scroll seemed to have faded considerably.
The table seemed to be specially made, with various instruments running quietly beside it, one of which displayed a faint energy reading on its screen.
The once-abundant yin energy in the portrait is now almost entirely gone, as if it might dissipate at any moment.
"Right here."
Director Qin stood in front of the table, looking at the portrait before him, and said in a low voice, "Since Comrade Zhong Wan fell into a deep sleep, the energy in the scroll has been decreasing."
Lin Yan'an reached out and placed Zhong Suisui, whom he was holding, on the table. He gently stroked its head without saying a word.
After Lin Yan'an withdrew his hand, the little guy tilted his head and rubbed against his hand again before getting up and gracefully swaying around the table.
Looking at the cables connecting the instruments, it even curiously reached out its paw and tugged at them.
Lin Yan'an's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this: "Sui Sui, let's get down to business."
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, silently urging him on.
After all, Zhong Suisui is no ordinary cat, and he was really afraid that those instruments would detect something abnormal, which would cause unnecessary trouble.
Zhong Suisui seemed to understand Lin Yan'an's words. She put away her curious paws, walked to the portrait, sat down, looked at the old man in the portrait, and then tilted her head to look at Lin Yan'an.
Its little nose twitched slightly, as if to confirm again, "Daddy, is this the old man?"
Hmm, he's running out of energy.
"Yes, it's him, Mr. Du Qian."
Lin Yan'an responded in a low voice, her feelings somewhat complicated.
He was both expectant and nervous, his eyes fixed on Zhong Suisui's movements.
Director Qin also held his breath, his gaze shifting back and forth between Zhong Suisui and the instrument screens.
Zhong Suisui nodded her cat head, looked down at the portrait on the table, and her fluffy little face became serious.
It nimbly raised its right front paw and, with a thud, pressed the paw down on the painting in front of it.
In that instant, a dense black aura spread from its claws to the entire painting.
The numbers on the instrument screen jumped rapidly, constantly emitting beeping sounds.
The researcher in charge of recording and Director Qin were instantly filled with shock and curiosity.
Lin Yan'an looked at the small figure on the table, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
Then, as if remembering something, he quickly turned his head to look at the two of them, their eyes lowered to conceal their emotions.
The slightly upturned corners of her mouth instantly tightened.
Zhong Suisui was completely unaware of all this and didn't care.
It nimbly raised its paw, then slapped the scroll beneath it again. The dense black mist seemed to instantly find its direction.
They gathered again beneath its claws, and then gradually seeped into the ink of the painting.
The next second, everyone saw that the ink on the scroll, which had faded, became even darker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
【alright. 】
[Once his illusory image solidifies, everything will be fine.]
Having completed her task, Zhong Suisui retracted her claws without hesitation and jumped back into Lin Yan'an's arms.
Lin Yan'an quickly reached out and took the baby, holding it close. Looking at Zhong Suisui, who was yawning in his arms, he subconsciously asked with concern, "What's wrong, Suisui? Are you tired?"
Zhong Suisui blinked at Lin Yan'an in confusion. [Meow?]
The soft, meowing sound was not loud, even somewhat faint.
In an instant, it seemed as if Lin Yan'an's words had been confirmed.
Director Qin quickly turned around from Du Qian's slowly condensing phantom image and asked, "Yan An, how is Sui Sui? Is she alright?"
"It should be alright?"
Lin Yan'an didn't look up, holding Zhong Suisui in one arm and rubbing its head with the other, shielding it from Director Qin's probing gaze, and whispered soothingly:
"If you're tired, rest in Daddy's arms for a while. When Sui Sui wakes up, Daddy will make you your favorite big cake."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Suisui's dark cat eyes lit up instantly. She tilted her head slightly and affectionately rubbed against Lin Yan'an's hand, her round eyes instantly curving into a pair of crescent moons.
The large tail that had been hanging down casually suddenly wrapped affectionately around his wrist.
It's unclear whether it understood Lin Yan'an's meaning or was simply craving it.
In short, the next second, the kitten tilted its head, closed its eyes weakly, and lay in his hand.
Seeing that its head was about to slip from his hands, Lin Yan'an quickly adjusted his posture and held it steadily in his arms.
As he moved, the tail that had been resting on his wrist drooped limply.
Her little mouth opened slightly, and her pink little tongue mischievously darted out.
Even his eyes seemed half-open, as if he had rolled his eyes.
