Chapter 57
Kasya's attitude towards Yu An has always been indifferent, as if he was not her biological sister's child, but an ordinary cub in the tribe with whom she had a mediocre relationship.
Yu An's rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down and finally returned to normal. He and Kasya didn't say anything, just looked at each other, and a hint of awkwardness spread in the atmosphere.
Solander winked at Kasanya, asking her to do something quickly to get closer to the cub.
But Kasya just glanced at the family of three and said in a firm tone, "Don't worry, I was just asked by Claude to come and take a look at this unidentified cub. Now it has been confirmed that he is my sister's child. My mission is completed. Goodbye."
Kasya turned around and left, very decisively, without any reluctance to part with her nephew. This action silenced Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen.
Lin Huaichen took a step forward and looked into Kasanya's eyes. "No offense, I want to know where An An's father is now. Is he still alive?"
Kasya thought for a few seconds and said, "There is no father. This child was born to my sister alone. Since you like him and raised him this big, then he belongs to you."
Wen Xun was dissatisfied with her attitude, "But An An is your sister's child, so you are his aunt."
"But I have no sense of responsibility." Kasya shrugged and seriously listed all her shortcomings. "I'm lazy. I don't know how to find food for the cub. If he cries and disturbs my sleep, I will want to strangle him. I'm not considerate enough to care about his health..."
Finally, Kasanya concluded, "He'll die if he follows me."
Everyone: “…”
I inexplicably feel that it makes sense.
Yu An's little heart trembled, and his voice became much softer when he spoke. He looked at Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen with clear and bright eyes and stood beside them.
He didn't even dare to say a word in front of Kasanya, for fear that she would be unhappy and kill him.
Lin Huaichen opened his mouth, "...So what are you here for this time?"
Kasanya: "Come and see this little guy. Now that I'm done, I'm leaving."
This time no one stopped her. But halfway through, Kasya suddenly remembered something, turned back, and walked straight to Yu An. She was even a head taller than Yu An, so she needed to bow slightly when looking at him.
Under her gaze, Yu An's whole body tensed up, like a small animal targeted by its natural enemy. Every cell in his body was clamoring to run fast, but his feet seemed to have taken root and he couldn't move.
"Hasn't entered the growth stage yet? That shouldn't be the case..." Kasya murmured, reaching out to touch Yu An's head, and said in a tone of pity for the poor little thing, "Hasn't he had enough to eat all these years? Tsk tsk..."
Yu An felt the slightly cool hand moving through his hair, and his body became warm, as if wrapped in warm water, comfortable and relaxed.
It wasn't until Kasanya withdrew her hand that Yu An suddenly came back to his senses, but then he was overwhelmed by an irresistible sleepiness. He yawned and frowned. Why did he suddenly feel so sleepy? Yu An even felt that he would fall asleep while standing.
Kasanya was unfamiliar with the place, so she asked Qiao Xi'er to accompany her around. Qiao Xi'er turned to look at Yu An and said, "You know, I don't have any money."
Yu Anqiang tried to stay alert, felt in his pocket, and suddenly remembered that he didn't bring any cash with him. So he looked at Lin Huaichen eagerly. Lin Huaichen looked at Qiao Xiuer unhappily and took out a thousand yuan from his own pocket and gave it to him.
"Thank you, you are such a good father." Qiao Xiuer took the money and left with satisfaction. "Then I won't go to dinner tonight."
Yu An weakly warned: "Remember not to fight outside."
Qiao Xiuer had already walked away from Kasanya, and his voice came slowly, "I understand."
The summer evening finally turned from the daytime heat, with the occasional breeze bringing a bit of coolness. Yu An watched Qiao Xiul and Kasanya disappear at the end of the road. Unable to resist the sleepiness, he patted his face with his hands and tried to open his eyes wide, "Then let's go back too."
Back in the car, Yu An collapsed on the backrest, drowsy. Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen were unaware of his condition and sat there for a long time without saying a word, like a wilted cabbage that no one wanted.
Wen Xun carefully considered his words and asked, "An An, don't be sad. Shall we go buy some cakes?"
Perhaps Yu An has always had some expectations of his relatives over the years, but the aunt he met today has such a personality. Although Yu An did not mention it, one can imagine how frustrated and sad he is inside.
Faced with the temptation of the small cake, Yu An refused for the first time. He was so sleepy that his consciousness was blurred and his eyelids were drooping. "...I don't want to eat it."
Looking at Wen Xun's worried eyes, Yu An thought he might have misunderstood something, and hurriedly explained, "Dad, I'm not sad, nor am I sad because of Aunt Kasya. Don't think too much. I'm just very sleepy and want to sleep..."
As he finished speaking, Yu An's voice became smaller and smaller. Before his consciousness fell into darkness, Yu An caught a glimpse of a tall figure passing by the car window.
The man looked to be in his twenties. He was dressed simply, with his long hair tied simply behind his back. He had a slender and well-proportioned figure. Although it was summer, when he saw him, it seemed as if all the heat around him dissipated and his restless mood calmed down. At this moment, he turned around, and his deep lake blue eyes looked straight at Yu An.
Yu An's thoughts stopped at this moment, and he stared blankly at the pair of inexplicably familiar eyes.
One second... two seconds...
Finally, I couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
Claude's gaze penetrated the car window and fell on the sleeping little cub. Ten years had changed Yu An's appearance a lot, but Claude could still see some traces of his childhood in his delicate and beautiful facial features.
I've really grown up...
Knold felt a sense of wonder, and the strangeness of his standing still for a long time attracted Lin Huaichen's attention.
Lin Huaichen stared into Knold's eyes, an unknown look flashing in them, and his fingers tapped on the steering wheel, "Axun, do you know this person?"
Wen Xun studied Knold's features and shook his head, "Never seen him before."
"I also felt like I had never seen him before, but looking into his eyes, I felt like I had seen him before."
Regarding this, Wen Xun seriously speculated, "It must be one of your classmates. I often feel this way about my old classmates."
Lin Huaichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Baby, I'm not you. I think... I've definitely seen these eyes, but I haven't seen this face."
Wen Xun commented mercilessly: "Have you encountered a ghost?"
This sounds like a ghost story.
Lin Huaichen teased him with a smile, "It's very likely, so you should stick to me more at night, otherwise you will encounter ghosts too."
Wen Xun: "I'm not afraid, I'm brave."
"Baby, why are you so cute?" Lin Huaichen smiled and leaned on the steering wheel. When he came to his senses, he saw Claude still staring at Yu An. He felt inexplicably unhappy and stepped on the accelerator to leave. "Baby, go report to the research institute. A new humanoid species has been found near Boya. Ask them to keep a close eye on it."
Wen Xun sent this message to the research institute's work group and said, "Judging from the color of his eyes, he should be from An An's tribe."
"It's okay as long as he's not a relative." Lin Huaichen said indifferently, "Besides, I feel uncomfortable just looking at him."
"Oh, I also feel like I've seen Kasya somewhere." Wen Xun suddenly said, frowning slightly, "But I think I've only seen that face. The eyes... the eyes are very different."
The car was silent for a few seconds, and then Lin Huaichen said dryly, "Kasya's twin sister is An An's mother... Darling, you haven't met An An's biological mother, have you?"
Wen Xun shook his head in confusion. Where had he seen her before?
Along the way, no matter how much Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun talked, Yu An was sleeping soundly and didn't react at all. Wen Xun was worried that he might have a health problem, so he reached out and felt the temperature on his forehead. He found nothing abnormal and his breathing was also steady.
Lin Huaichen: "He must be tired. This shows how much of a burden studying is for a child."
Wen Xun said unhappily, "An An is not you, and he is not a study loser."
"That's too much. I have a master's degree after all. You should still respect my degree."
Wen Xun: "But PhDs are worthless now, and you're still a Master of Arts."
Lin Huaichen was deeply shocked and didn't want to discuss any academic issues with Wen Xun anymore, otherwise he would be bringing shame upon himself.
Yu An didn't wake up until they returned to Blue Moon Bay. He was sleeping soundly. Lin Huaichen carried him back to the room directly. Wen Xun adjusted the air conditioner to a suitable temperature, covered Yu An with an air-conditioned blanket, and left the room quietly.
Shortly after the two left, the bulging quilt suddenly deflated, and a small snow-white octopus lay on the pillow, snoring soundly.
The next day, Yu An opened his eyes in a daze, got up subconsciously, and moved to the edge of the bed. The half-asleep little guy fell to the ground with a thud. The pain made him wake up immediately and rub his painful head.
A pure white tentacle suddenly appeared in Yu An's peripheral vision. Yu An was stunned, and looked at his own tentacles with his big watery eyes.
When he looked down again, he found that his body was no longer the familiar one. It had become round and plump. Except for the color, it was basically the same as Qiao Xuer's usual appearance.
Xiaobai woke up from hibernation and saw Yu An's current state. His little head couldn't process the complicated situation and he stared at Yu An blankly, "An An?"
"An An has become so weird."
Yu An was shocked and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't even walk. The sound he made was very small, "Xiaobai, help me quickly."
Xiaobai came forward and straightened Yu An's body. Yu An looked at the small tentacles with a headache. After thinking about it, he simply rolled into a ball and rolled out.
The little white snowball couldn't even reach the door handle. Yu An tilted his head to look at the door handle, feeling desolate. He wanted to make a sound, but the volume was only that of a normal whisper, and the person in the next room couldn't hear it at all.
Yu An leaned against the door in frustration, staring blankly at the unfamiliar body. His mind inexplicably recalled what Qiao Xuer had said to him, the growth period of Usatos...
But no one would say that he would become so small directly!
Yu An wanted to cry but had no tears. After a while, he heard a series of footsteps outside the door, and Monday's enthusiastic call, "An An! An An! Get up!"
Yu An instantly felt hopeful. [Monday!]
Monday responded outside, "Woof woof! [An an an an an!]"
[Help me open the door.] Yu An struggled to move to the side. He knew the door would be open on Monday, but he was afraid that if he was too careless, he would get knocked away.
Monday jumped up and pressed the doorknob down, opened the door easily, and walked into the room looking for Yu An with his tail wagging happily, only to be greeted by a snow-white little creature.
[An An's smell?] Zhou Yi smelled a familiar scent on this strange creature and circled around it curiously. Xiao Bai landed on its head and looked at Yu An's current appearance curiously with Zhou Yi.
Yu An explained: "I am Yu An. Monday, can you help me find my father and the others?"
Monday was shocked that this cute little octopus could make Yu An's voice. It took him a long time to accept the fact that he was Yu An. He lowered his head in front of him and said, "An An, come up quickly. I'll take you to find the master."
Yu An climbed onto Zhou Yi's furry head. Zhou Yi pushed him to the door of Lin Huaichen and the others, then waved his little paws and scratched the door frantically, "Open the door, open the door, An An is coming to see you!"
The noise finally attracted Lin Huaichen to open the door. He was in his pajamas, and his face showed the impatience of being woken up. "It's Monday, today's canned food is cancelled."
Monday wailed, but did not forget the little master on its head. It moved in front of Lin Huaichen. Lin Huaichen narrowed his eyes and finally saw the snowball on its head.
The snowball jumped twice, looked at him with its big round eyes, stretched out two small tentacles, and made a gesture as if to hug him. Lin Huaichen's heart softened, and he subconsciously picked up this unknown creature.
"dad!"
The little guy's weak voice could only be heard when you got close. Lin Huaichen opened his eyes wide and looked at the little guy in disbelief, "An An?"
"Uh-huh!"
