Chapter 16 Dirty Child
After Yu An finished eating the cake, Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun returned to the living room. The usual peaceful day passed quietly. That night, Lin Huaichen sat at the head of Yu An's bed, "An An, can you promise Dad one thing?"
Yu An didn't ask what it was, but nodded happily, "Okay."
"Our An An is so well behaved." Lin Huaichen chuckled and praised, "Then An An promise daddy that you will never tell anyone that you are not human, okay?"
Yu An was puzzled, "But I'm not..."
"None of this matters." Lin Huaichen told him firmly. Facing the little guy's confused look, he lowered his voice to avoid scaring the child.
He patiently explained, "An An's father Wen and I are both human, right? No matter what your original identity was, now that An An is our child, you are the same as us."
Lin Huaichen doesn't want Yu An to think that he is an alien. Yu An is ignorant now, but he will slowly understand when he grows up. Then it will be up to him to make the decision, between the two identities of human and alien.
Yu An's mind was in a mess. Why was he called an alien baby one moment and a human baby the next? His brain was about to shut down.
It’s so complicated. Never mind. Let’s just go with whatever dad says.
Yu An simply gave up thinking, nodded, and said what he understood, "I understand. I am a human being just like my fathers. I am a human baby."
Lin Huaichen pinched his soft cheeks with satisfaction, "Yes, you are worthy of being my precious son, so smart."
After Lin Huaichen left the room, the little octopus also crawled out from the small succulent plant on the windowsill. Yu An felt the sticky little creature on the back of his hand and looked down, "What's wrong?"
[Baby…] Solander's voice sounded as if he had suffered a great injustice. His thin tentacles patted the back of Yu An's hand, [Baby, just bear with it for now. When our large army arrives, you won't have to be afraid of these humans anymore.]
Solande regarded Yu An's recognition of his human identity as a compromise. There were only two Usatos in this world, him and Qiaoxuel. Although Qiaoxuel was stronger than him, he was not a reliable elder, so now he was the only one by Yu An's side.
Yu An didn't understand why and said, "I'm not wronged. Dad and the others are human beings, and I'm not afraid of them."
So what Solande said left Yu An confused.
Solande was devastated and wanted to wake Yu An up. They were his people and he should trust his people instead of these humans. How could these humans be so kind? It must be a conspiracy!
Solander had already imagined the miserable scene of the poor cub being exploited by this group of humans and ending up on the streets. He was about to say a few words to Yu An when he turned around and saw that Yu An was already fast asleep in his little quilt.
Solander: ...
How do you sleep at your age?!
Yu An's cheeks were rosy as he slept. Solande couldn't bear to wake him up, so he could only sigh one after another, and then fell asleep on the side of Yu An's pillow.
Due to Yu An's special identity, Wen Xun had to cancel the physical examination agreed with Rong Shili.
When talking about this, Rong Shili put one hand on Wen Xun's shoulder, and the sharp eyes behind the glasses seemed to be able to see through everything, "Xun, are you hiding something from me?"
Wen Xun tilted his head and said, "No, you think too much."
"Really?" Rong Shili raised an eyebrow. "Why do I feel like you and Lin Huaichen are secretly doing something?"
Wen Xun is not good at lying or fooling around. He purses his lips and doesn't answer any questions. If asked urgently, he will act as if he is aggrieved and says, "You are bullying me."
Rong Shili laughed and raised his hands, "Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore. Anyway, Xun, you and I are always in the same boat, so you don't have to worry about that."
Wen Xun didn't doubt him, "Well, thank you."
…
Yu An did not come to the base for several days. Fu Yunshu asked Wen Xun many times why Yu An did not come. Wen Xun could only give vague answers, saying that his brother was sick and would take a few more days to recover.
In fact, Yu An's mental magnetic field had not yet subsided, so Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen could only lock him up at home first. In order not to arouse suspicion from the outside world, each of them accompanied the child to play at home one by one.
Lin Huaichen often took Yu An to the garden to play with water, but Yu An used a small water gun, while Lin Huaichen used an adult-sized enlarged water gun, and they splashed water on each other.
Lin Huaichen, the older boy, had more fun than Yu An. Every time, Yu An was like a drowned rat, soaked all over, with water dripping from the corners of his clothes, but he still smiled foolishly at Lin Huaichen.
In the end, Wen Xun couldn't stand it anymore and sent Lin Huaichen to work. He originally wanted him to come back and play with Yu An, but now the situation was reversed and Yu An was playing with him.
In addition, Wen Xun also gave Yu An a recently developed intelligent AI, "This is Xiaobai. If you are bored in the future, you can let Xiaobai play with you."
Wen Xun started the little white bird robot. The little white bird's red pupils lit up, and it flapped its wings and flew up, circling Yu An twice. It made a cute childish sound.
"Hello, little master. My name is Xiaobai. I'm your companion robot bird. I have functions such as chatting, body detection, photography, and video calls to provide you with better service."
Yu An's eyes sparkled as he tentatively called out, "Xiao Bai~"
"Yes, I'm here!" Xiaobai answered very quickly, landing on his shoulder, tilting his head, and asked in a naive manner, "Little Master, do you have any instructions?"
Yu An shook his head, "I just wanted to call you."
"Okay, no matter when and where you call Xiaobai, Xiaobai will definitely respond."
Xiaobai's voice library is very large, and he can talk to Yu An very naturally. Yu An and Xiaobai get along well with each other. Solander is unhappy because the shoulder where Xiaobai rested before was where he usually lies!
Solander glared at Wen Xun angrily. As expected, no human being is a good thing. They actually created this ugly bird to compete with him for the favor of his cub. Humans are so vicious!
Wen Xun ignored Solande's resentful look. It was already a huge concession for him to tolerate this unidentified alien species to stay with Yu An, but he would not spare the time to consider his feelings.
Not satisfied? Just get out.
"Hey, what is this, Dad?" When Yu An was playing with Xiaobai, he noticed the tiny display screen on its back, on which a capital "C+" appeared.
Wen Xun: "This is your physical level. If the letter above becomes B or above, An An must go home quickly and don't let others touch you."
All alien species are walking magnetic fields that can affect the people around them and cause mutations. After inspection, Yu An's magnetic field is not contagious, but this does not mean that direct contact with his body will not cause mutations.
With Xiaobai, Yu An can understand his physical condition more clearly.
"It's time for the little master to drink some water."
"The little master should supplement his vitamins."
"It's time for exercise, little master!"
"A glass of milk before bed~"
“…”
Xiaobai reminded Yu An of every detail, which made Solander so angry that he would swing his tentacles to hit Xiaobai every time it passed by him.
Once Xiaobai is beaten, he will burrow into Yu An's arms in frustration and use his advanced algorithms to fight back. "Xiaobai has been attacked. Xiaobai is so pitiful. Brother Solander is so bad. Unlike me, I never hit anyone and can only take a beating."
Solander: "..."
Damn, this is actually a green tea bird!
But Yu An was very susceptible to this trick. Every time, he would kiss Xiao Bai on the head with heartache, touch the spot where it was hit by the little tentacles, and warn Solander fiercely, "Don't bully Xiao Bai, it's still a baby."
If we take the day when Xiaobai was turned on as its birthday, it is indeed just a baby that is not even a month old.
Solander could only rage helplessly.
A few days later, Yu An's mental magnetic field stabilized at level C, and he was finally able to go out and play with Fu Yunshu. Before leaving, he specially brought a piece of taro cake for Fu Yunshu because he had given him a piece of chocolate before.
Wen Xun sent Yu An to Fu Yunshu's room and left. Xiaobai was beside Yu An, and Solander was lying on his shoulder. Yu An knocked on Fu Yunshu's door and said, "Brother, I brought you a delicious cake."
Fu Yunshu opened the door and looked down. The little guy with a little yellow duck water cup on his back was looking at him with his head tilted up. He was holding a small cake box in his hand and carrying a small schoolbag on his back, like a primary school student on a spring outing.
"Gift~" Yu An smiled and handed the taro paste cake to Fu Yunshu, "Thank you brother for the chocolate you gave me last time. This cake is super delicious. I'm giving it to you."
Fu Yunshu stared blankly at the exquisite cake box in his hand. This was the first time he had received a gift, and he seemed at a loss for a moment. He walked into the room with Yu An in a panic, "Thank you for your gift, I like it very much."
Yu An smiled and said loudly: "It's taro paste cake, not the super sweet kind."
He remembered that Fu Yunshu mentioned casually that he didn't like overly sweet food, so he specially chose taro cake for him.
Fu Yunshu opened the box and took out the exquisitely shaped small cake. He caught a glimpse of Yu An's eyes glued to the small cake and swallowed secretly.
A smile flashed in his eyes, and he fed Yu An the first bite of cake with a spoon. Yu An was surprised and quickly shook his hand and stepped back, "No, I've already eaten it, brother, eat it."
Yu An had already eaten a small piece of cake at home, so he couldn't eat any more today, otherwise he would get cavities. His father said that getting cavities is very painful, and Yu An is most afraid of pain.
Fu Yunshu didn't miss the greed in his eyes, and raised the corners of his lips, "Just eat one bite, it's okay."
Yu An really wanted to eat it, and asked anxiously, "Really? Won't it cause cavities?"
"It's just a small sip. You can rinse your mouth later and it will be fine. You won't get cavities."
Hearing him say that, Yu An felt relieved and happily ate the small piece of cake. He covered his mouth and chewed it, mumbling vaguely, "I only eat one piece, so I won't get cavities."
I don’t know if he was talking to himself or others, but Fu Yunshu’s eyes flashed with a cute smile as he quietly ate the fragrant and sweet cake.
There weren't many interesting things in this small room, only a bookcase filled with books. Yu An didn't know many words, so he mainly relied on Fu Yunshu to tell him stories.
Fu Yunshu is a very patient child. When he learned that Yu An had not attended kindergarten and did not even know pinyin, he took the initiative to offer to teach him to recognize words, starting from the most basic ones and teaching him slowly.
Yu An sat next to him and practiced writing on the draft paper obediently.
Wen Xun came to take a look at the two little guys halfway and was pleasantly surprised to find that Fu Yunshu's place was an excellent nursery. The child's mental state seemed to be more stable than his, which was good.
Before leaving, Wen Xun glanced at the surveillance camera on the corner of the room and lowered his eyes to hide the expression in his eyes.
Shortly after Wen Xun left, a couple wearing heavy protective clothing came to Fu Yunshu's small room. They were carrying a bag and pushed the door open.
When Yu An heard the noise, he turned around and saw that the people coming were two strangers. He immediately hid behind Fu Yunshu in fear.
Fu Yunshu's face darkened. He protected Yu An with one hand and asked in a bad tone, "What are you doing here?"
The woman placed a large bag of snacks on the table, her tone tinged with accusation, "Yun Shu, is this how you treat your parents? We are your parents, come and see what's wrong?"
Fu Yunshu looked at the two of them sarcastically, "Stop pretending, I just feel disgusted."
"Fu Yunshu!" Father Fu slammed the table heavily, his face dark beneath the glass mask. "Watch your attitude!"
Yu An shook his body and clutched the corner of Fu Yunshu's clothes in fear. Even if he was slow-witted, he could still notice the tension and anger between Fu Yunshu and his parents, and he called out "Brother" anxiously.
"Don't be afraid." Fu Yunshu's voice was soft. He touched Yu An's head. When facing his biological parents, he showed another indifferent expression. "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I'll leave after I'm done."
Father Fu seemed about to get angry again, but Mother Fu reached out to stop him. She took a step forward and her gaze fell on Yu An, who was hiding behind Fu Yunshu. "Your new friend?"
Fu Yunshu: "It's none of your business."
Mother Fu lowered her voice and spoke slowly, "Yun Shu, I know you resent your father and me, but the CAF program is a great opportunity that many people want to participate in but can't find the means to do so. It can help you become a leader. You can already sense the power it brings you, right?"
Yu An secretly glanced at Fu Yunshu. His expression became even uglier after Fu's mother said this, and his hands hanging by his side were clenched tightly.
Yu An was very scared. He shook his clenched hands and looked up at Fu Yunshu with worry in his clear eyes.
It seems that his brother has a bad relationship with his parents. In fact, Yu An doesn't like this couple either. He disliked them from the first sight of them.
"The kid next to you should also be a participant in the CAF program, but Yunshu, your circle of friends isn't here."
Mother Fu glanced at Yu An lightly. She didn't know Yu An, so she thought he was a descendant of some inconspicuous family.
She looked away with disdain, and instead grabbed Fu Yunshu's hand, her tone excited, "In two weeks, Mom will come to pick you up to attend the welcome party for the young master of the Lin family. Your friends should be people of the same status as the young master, not this dirty kid, understand?"
Yu An's face was covered in pencil dust. He stared blankly at Mother Fu for a few seconds. It took him a long time to realize that the dirty child she was talking about was actually himself.
Nonsense! He's clearly the cleanest kid! Even before he followed his dad, he washed himself clean every day, and no one ever called him dirty.
Yu An's little face became puffed up, like a bloated pufferfish. This adult is so annoying!
