Chapter 56
After Wan Cen had laughed enough, he noticed that Yu An was looking at him with an indescribable expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. He subconsciously became nervous, "What, what happened?"
Yu An sighed, turned his head and continued painting, "It's okay."
The sadness of this is no longer something that can be told to outsiders. When Solander and Joxu first arrived, they were as reliable as they could be. They were simply the perfect and reliable brothers in everyone's mind.
Yu An only found out later that this was a time-limited affair. As time passed, the two's true natures were revealed. They would fight over a sandwich every day, and would even pester the aunt at home, deliberately acting cute to please her, just to eat an extra piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.
Of course, only Qiao Xuer can use his ability in this way, because Solander's appearance is really not cute.
【An An! 】
【An An! 】
Qiao Xiuer and Solander poked their heads out at the same time, jumped onto Yu An's knees, and said in unison with excitement: "Kasanya is here!"
Who is Kasanya? Yu An's brain froze for several seconds. He racked his brains but couldn't match this name with his appearance. He couldn't help but start to doubt whether he really knew Kasanya.
Seeing Yu An's stunned expression, Solander knew that he definitely didn't even know who Kasanya was, so he hinted, "Kasanya is the tribesman who very likely knows your mother. The boss asked her to come and see you."
Yu An asked nervously: [If she really recognizes me, will she take me away?]
"That won't happen." Qiao Xiu'er told Yu An with certainty, "She doesn't like cubs, so naturally she won't care about you, otherwise she would have come here a long time ago."
It's amazing that in the Usatos race, it's usually the males who carry the cubs, and the female's maternal radiance will be faintly reflected during pregnancy. Once the time is up, she will unload and leave.
When Yu An heard him say this, the stone in his heart finally settled down. He looked at the physics teacher who was lecturing passionately at the podium. He couldn't leave for the time being because he was in his third year of high school and it would be troublesome to ask for leave.
There was no other way, so Yu An asked Qiao Xuer and Solander to go find each other first, and he would go find them after school in the afternoon.
Qiao Xuer and Solander nodded in agreement, and while no one was paying attention, they quickly climbed up the window, jumped down, and soon disappeared from Yu An's sight.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the school bell rang, and the teaching building instantly became noisy. Yu An put on his schoolbag, and Wan Cen called him, "There's a new mall opened at the north gate. Everyone wants to go and check out the store. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Several boys walked up to Wan Cen and looked at Yu An expectantly, obviously hoping that he would go with them.
"No need, my family is here to pick me up, you guys have fun." Yu An shook his head and declined. Just then, Xu Mingyao came over with his schoolbag, and the two left the classroom together.
Over the years, Xu Mingyao has been in the same class with Yu An. He has shed his childishness and has grown to 1.8 meters tall, with a slender and upright figure, but he is still as talkative as ever.
"You run home every day after school. What's so fun about your home that attracts you?" Xu Mingyao was puzzled. "I've rarely seen you go out to play with others."
Yu An spoke frankly, "Because I don't like going out to play, I like staying at home."
"But it's boring at home."
"I don't think so."
Yu An's hobbies were different from those of most teenagers. He liked quietness and enjoyed being alone. In a familiar space, he could do whatever he wanted, such as painting, gardening, reading, and playing chess...
In short, I don’t like going out with other classmates to play games like script-killing.
Xu Mingyao clicked his tongue and turned his head to look at Yu An's delicate profile. There were rarely any other emotions in those beautiful lake-blue eyes. Most of the time, they were as tranquil as water. Only when facing something he liked did they have a different brilliance.
Xu Mingyao sighed, "Why are you still the same as when you were a kid?"
Yu An turned around curiously, "What's it like?"
"Very willful and childish." Xu Mingyao raised the corners of his lips slightly, looked at Yu An's surprised eyes, and continued, "Didn't you notice it yourself?"
Yu An shook his head blankly. No one had ever said he was willful. Was he willful? Yu An didn't know.
"I do what I want, I socialize what I want, and I talk what I want." Xu Mingyao counted on his fingers. "Last time, you wanted to eat a piece of cake, so you went out in the pouring rain after ten o'clock at night to buy it. I wanted to try raising parrots, so I bought an incubator and fertilized eggs overnight..."
As Yu An listened, he became more confused, "Is there anything wrong with these things?"
Xu Mingyao stared at him for a few seconds and smiled softly, "No problem, it's good. At least everything is changing, except you."
Yu An frowned, "You talk so strangely today."
"It's your illusion." Xu Mingyao changed the subject lightly, "Will you go back with me and my brother today?"
"No, I have to do something else." Yu An still wanted to see Kasya, and then go to Lin Huaichen's company to wait for him to get off work, and then go back to Blue Moon Bay together, "You go back first."
Xu Mingyao grabbed Yu An's arm, his expression inexplicably anxious. "You want to go alone? Do you know how dangerous it is out there? What if something goes wrong? What should you do if you encounter something dangerous?!"
Yu An didn't care much, "It's okay, I'll go find my dad after I finish my work, nothing will happen."
"That's because you don't know what's out there!" Xu Mingyao's breathing became rapid, and his voice became much louder.
Yu An frowned and looked at him, "You are weird today."
Xu Mingyao realized that he was too impulsive. He took two deep breaths and calmed down. "...I'm sorry, I just got some news and I'm very scared now. But An An, believe me, it's really dangerous to go out alone now."
Yu An looked at Xu Mingyao strangely and speculated, "Could it be that a murderer appeared near our school?"
Xu Mingyao shook his head.
"The lions and tigers in the zoo escaped?"
Xu Mingyao shook his head again.
"But An'an, I guarantee that those things are a thousand times or ten thousand times scarier than lions and tigers." Xu Mingyao was afraid that Yu An wouldn't believe him. "But I can't tell you what they are specifically. You should just come home with me and my brother today. With my brother here, you don't have to be afraid."
Yu An didn't say anything, looking at Xu Mingyao who was in a hurry.
Did he know about the existence of alien species? But he heard from his father and others that the Xu family had been hiding things about alien species from him. Could it be that they suddenly changed their minds and told him the truth about the so-called world?
The two of them pulled each other and arrived at the school gate. Yu An didn't express his opinion. Xu Mingyao was also tense and stared around vigilantly, as if everything made him very uneasy.
"An An."
The familiar voice made Yu An look up. Yu An looked at Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun in surprise, "Dad, why are you here?"
Lin Huaichen rubbed Yu An's head and said, "Of course I'm here to take you home. Let's go."
Wen Xun bought Yu An a cup of milk tea, which was Yu An’s favorite milk tea recently. Yu An happily took a sip and said with great satisfaction, “Thank you, Dad.”
Wen Xun looked at Xu Mingyao and asked, "Where is your brother?"
Xu Mingyao was in a daze. "When he comes out later, you...you must protect An An. This world has become very dangerous. People will die..."
Wen Xun frowned, "Have you seen it?"
Xu Mingyao nodded, clenching his hands at his sides slightly, and lowering his voice, "I encountered one last night. It...it was eating a child. I couldn't defeat it, so my brother came and killed it."
For a person who has lived a normal life for more than ten years, suddenly showing the existence of alien species in front of him will definitely have a shocking impact on his cognition.
Wen Xun pinched Xu Mingyao's shoulders, and said soothingly in a light voice, "Relax, there are no man-eating aliens here. Go home with your brother later and tell him what you are afraid of. He will teach you what to do."
Xu Mingyao's chest heaved twice. "Okay, thank you Uncle Wen."
On the other side, Yu An got into the car and looked through the window at the dazed Xu Mingyao. He turned around and asked Wen Xun, "So he was frightened by the alien?"
Wen Xun nodded, "After all, he has never come into contact with the existence of alien species before. It is normal for him to be afraid when he sees the scene of alien species eating people for the first time."
Yu An: "Yes, the man-eating alien species are very scary."
Suddenly, Wen Xun remembered that Yu An's information showed that he was only one year old when he first came into contact with an alien species, and what he witnessed was the death of his grandmother.
Wen Xun's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Yu An's tender and innocent face and asked, "An An, were you scared at that time?"
Yu An was stunned, realizing that Wen Xun was talking about his grandmother. He was distracted for a moment and slowly shook his head. "I was very scared at the time. I even had nightmares for a long time. Later... later I wasn't afraid anymore. I guess it's because I grew up."
Childhood memories will fade with the passage of time and eventually disappear deep into the memory. Normally, a normal person would start to remember things at around the age of three, but Yu An's memory goes back even longer.
Perhaps it was because of his non-human identity, or perhaps it was because the memory was too unforgettable that he dared not forget it.
Until now, Yu An still takes out the old photos of his grandmother from the drawer from time to time to look at them. He doesn't want to forget his grandmother, because if he forgets, there will be no trace of his grandmother's existence in this world.
Wen Xun remained silent for a long time, hugged Yu An, and silently comforted him. Lin Huaichen looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror and deliberately changed the subject, "Are you going to bring milk shells back to Qiao Xiuer and Solander today?"
Yu An suddenly woke up, "Wait! Dad, stop the car first."
Lin Huaichen didn't ask why and parked the car in the nearest parking area. Yu An got out of the car and looked around. [Brother Qiao Xiuer, Brother Solander, where are you?]
Qiao Xiuer responded quickly, "We are here!"
Yu An: [...Where?]
Qiao Xiuer: [Here! ]
So where exactly is this place?! Yu An was stunned for a long time, but fortunately Solander came to the rescue, saying, "An An, stand still. We're coming to find you."
Yu An was exhausted, so he leaned against a tree, drinking milk tea while waiting for them to come over. Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen came to him, and Lin Huaichen asked, "Waiting for a friend?"
Yu An: "Brother Qiao Xiuer and Brother Solander brought people to introduce themselves to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Xuer and Solander appeared in Yu An's sight, followed by a strange woman.
The woman had a gorgeous face and was wearing slippers and loose men's clothes. She had the same lake blue eyes as Yu An, and they looked about 50% similar. Just by seeing the two of them standing together, one could tell that they were definitely related.
But the woman always looked very impatient, pushing Solander and asking him to leave quickly, and she seemed to have a bad temper.
Yu An stared at Kasya's face, his heart beating faster and faster. Perhaps it was the magic of blood ties, Yu An felt close to her from the first sight.
Qiao Xiuer pushed Kasanya towards Yu An and said, "Go and take a closer look. Is An An really not your child? You two look alike."
Wen Xun frowned as he looked at Yu An and Kasanya, his eyes instantly becoming panicked. He turned to look at Lin Huaichen, who held his hand and smiled at him, "It's okay, she may not be An An's mother."
"You idiot, I told you I don't have any children." Kasya scolded Qiao Xi'er, then glanced at Yu An, leaned in and sniffed his scent, and nodded slowly, "It's my sister's scent."
Kasanya made the final decision, "Well, you must be my sister's child. The smell is exactly the same."
Wen Xun immediately asked, his words rarely taking on an aggressive tone, "What about your sister? Why did she abandon An An? And she left him in that mountain village for several years without caring about him. An An was so young at that time."
Kasanya didn't feel offended and shrugged, "Because my sister is dead."
Wen Xun: “…”
His arrogance instantly died down, and he didn't know how to continue the conversation, so he hid behind Lin Huaichen and pretended that it wasn't him who had spoken just now.
Lin Huaichen was trying to hold back his laughter. Wen Xun saw this and immediately pinched his waist and told him to go face Kasya.
