Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Casual talk
"You're right. I'll implement that... Wait I need to do something." Xiaoyun walked up to the group of scientists.
Xiaoyun bowed down and untied Tianci.
"Sorry about that, I completely forgot to let you go." Xiaoyun supported her back up.
"You shouldn't let me go..." Tianci didn't move at all as she stood in the truck.
"Why? Did you participated in the human experiment?"
Tianci stood in silent but her inaction tells Xiaoyun she did participated in it.
"I can pardon you since you cooperated and actually realized what you did is wrong compare to them." Xiaoyun suggested.
Tianci was unswayed as she shook her head.
"I can't forgive myself even if you forgive me..." Tianci sat back down on the floor of the truck.
"Fine. If this is what you want." Xiaoyun gave up convincing her and went back out.
"What's so unique about her?" Yezi curiously asked.
"She's the only one that has any humanity left in them." Xiaoyun replied back.
"I'm sure she's will be fine in the trial if she's what you describe her to be." Yezi comforted Xiaoyun.
"I hope so..." The two walked back to the field as they can see the police arriving.
---
Xiaoyun and Yezi both returned back to their own home as the police transported all the scientist and the data for them to sort out.
"I'm back." As Xiaoyun opened the door, nobody was home except Leyan reading a book and the three babies playing with each other.
"They went back to work." Leyan explained as she noticed Xiaoyun's confusion.
"Oh right it's noon." Xiaoyun glanced at the clock.
Just as Xiaoyun was closer to Leyan, the three babies in front of Leyan immediately ran away.
"You should probably go to shower first..." Leyan suggested as she pinched her nose.
"Sorry, I'll be back." Xiaoyun immediately went upstairs back to his room.
As he opened the restroom door, he heard the water was already running.
"I thought everyone is at work?" Xiaoyun walked closer to the showers and saw someone standing behind the foggy glass panel.
"Oh right it's probably Wuli." Xiaoyun opened the glass panel and walked inside.
Just as he predicted it, Wuli was inside taking a shower.
"Ah! Why are you here?" Wuli immediately covered herself with her hand.
"Just taking a shower, what do you think?" Xiaoyun turn on the showerhead and started washing himself.
"Okay..." Wuli started to get more and more nervous despite Xiaoyun not even look at her at all.
After a few minute, Wuli ran out of the bathroom after finished taking a shower.
"What was she so nervous about?" Xiaoyun mumbled as he washed his hair with shampoo.
----
After finish taking a shower, Xiaoyun went downstairs to the living room.
This time the three baby didn't run away as he walked closer to them.
"Took you long enough." Leyan put down her book as she stared at Xiaoyun's face.
"Well I haven't shower for like a week, have to make sure everything is clean... Is there something on my face?" Xiaoyun noticed Leyan staring at him.
"There's nothing on your face, I just want to see you, that's all." Leyan got closer and gently moved her hand onto Xiaoyun's face.
"You can see as much as you want babe... anyway babe what happen while I was gone?" Xiaoyun sat down next to Leyan on the sofa.
"Yuqi seem to miss you a lot... she has a lot of baggage you know. Having to manage the town and dealing with an entire coup by herself."
"I'll try my best." Xiaoyun replied back.
"Beside that, Lily and Nami had been in a standstill... it has improved a little but you might want to talk it out between the two."
"Really? Aren't they like practically best friend?" Xiaoyun was a little shock by the two having a cold war.
"Yeah, but Nami lectured her a little too much after Lily got in a fight at school. You know kids emotions, they are complicated to understand."
"I see... I'll talk to Lily when she come back home. How about Yueyue then?" Xiaoyun asked.
"She's been busy working in the police station. She just got promoted few days ago." Leyan paused for a second.
"Honey... can you move Yueyue to a safer job? Few days ago during the coup, I saw someone getting injured. I don't want that to her." Leyan pleaded.
"Babe... Yueyue like her job, just like you like working as a nurse in the past. We shouldn't change her job just because there's a small risk." Xiaoyun pushed back against that idea.
"Pleaseeee." Leyan held Xiaoyun's arm as she got closer.
"Fine, I'll try my best to ask Li Zhen put her in a safer job." Xiaoyun agreed to it as he didn't want Yueyue to get hurt either.
"Well that's all... oh snap I need to go cook lunch. They'll be back soon." Leyan got up and went to the kitchen.
Just as Leyan left the living room, Wuli came down from upstairs.
"Where's Leyan?" Wuli asked Xiaoyun.
"She went to cook lunch. What are you planning to do for the rest of the day?" Xiaoyun asked as he sat down on the ground and started playing with the three babies.
"Probably just going to catch some sleep later. I barely had any good sleep this week." Wuli stretched her arms as she sat down on the sofa.
"I'll probably do the same. I'm so tired... Qiaolan stop chasing your sister like that." Xiaoyun separated the two away from each other.
"It's still surprising to me that they can crawl and even talk a little... has it only been like four months?" Wuli got down to the three and started building a castle.
"Yeah, almost four month old after this month... by the way, when is your birthday?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.
"November twentieth. Why you ask?" Wuli grabbed a brick from the box.
"Nothing, I just want to know everyone's birthday. Anyway Leyan's birthday is coming up soon." Xiaoyun mentioned.
"Oh right, I almost forgot her birthday. It's the twenty-seventh right?"
"Yeah it's the twenty-seventh. Exactly a month away from now." Xiaoyun looked over at the calendar.
"Mommy!" The three babies crawl to Wuli's leg as they said it out loud.
"I'm not your mommy okay? I-I..." Wuli didn't know how to response back.
"It's fine Wuli, you can treat them as your kids. Nami was called mom in front of their own mother and they didn't mind it." Xiaoyun added.
"O-Okay..." Wuli patted the three on the head as the three crawl around the castle Wuli built.
Suddenly out of nowhere, the door was opened.
"We're back!" It was the three back from the office.
"I'm so hungry." Yuqi rubbed her belly as she sat down on the sofa.
"Hey Wuli!" Shuli ran up to Wuli and gave her a hug.
"I miss you." Wuli held Shuli closer.
"I miss you too." Shuli replied back.
"Where's mom?" Nami noticed Leyan wasn't at the sofa like the usual.
"She went to cook lunch. You guys have to go back to work later right?" Xiaoyun asked.
"Yeah, this is our one hour lunch break." Nami replied back as she sat down on the sofa.
"Come here Lianrong." Yuqi clapped her hand and Lianrong immediately crawled over.
"Hey Yuqi, I know the break days has been pretty spread out randomly in the mouth for the government jobs. I was thinking of reinstated a two day break on the weekend instead." Xiaoyun suggested.
"Sure, I was thinking of the same thing. Having more consistence break is more convenient." Yuqi nodded in agreement as she lowered her cloth to start breastfeeding Lianrong.
As Xiaoyun started to clean up the toys on the floor, the door opened again.
"I'm back!" It was Yueyue as she opened the door and walked inside.
"Mommy!" Qiaolan excitingly yelled out.
"My dear baby girl. You hungry?" Yueyue ran up to Qiaolan and lifted her up to her arms.
Qiaolan nodded as if she could understand what Yueyue meant.
"Aww, you are so cute." Yueyue unbutton her police uniform and lowered her bra to start breastfeeding Qiaolan.
"Lunch is ready." Leyan walked back to the living room as she noticed everyone was back home except Lily who eating at school right now.
"Okay!" The two with their babies got up and walked toward the kitchen.
"Yongyi you hungry too right? Let me carry you to mom." Nami lifted Yongyi up and walked toward the kitchen.
Wuli and Shuli looked at each other, then walked toward the kitchen as well.
"Of course nobody clean up this mess." Xiaoyun sighed as he started cleaning up all the toys back into the box.
