Wei’an, who was gritting his teeth, set out to help his male father. As soon as he left the Alhandra Estate, he ran toward the street they usually took when they went out.
Chasing behind him, Shang You shouted at the top of his lungs, “Wei’an, wait for us!”
After catching up with him, Krillochuan asked, “Do you know the way?”
“Yes, I do,” Wei’an nodded confidently, his little chubby cheeks trembling along with his movements.
Hearing that he knew the way, Krillochuan and the others followed him.
They walked all the way to an intersection, and a trace of confusion appeared in Wei’an’s red eyes. Right, there was a dessert shop in Shalou Kuer’s video.
Remembering this, he looked around and saw a dessert shop not far away on the left, so he led them in that direction.
As they were walking, Wei’an suddenly spotted a blue aircraft flying overhead, and his eyes lit up. Immediately, he raised his short legs and started chasing after it.
He remembered that during his video chat with Shalou Kuer, there was also a blue aircraft flying overhead.
Krillochuan had a feeling something wasn’t right, but before he could think further, he had no choice but to follow along.
Ten minutes later, five little cubs stood in an unfamiliar area, staring at each other.
“We’re lost,” Krillochuan, the oldest, said with a helpless expression.
“Didn’t you say you knew the way, Wei’an?” Cole asked.
Wei’an was puzzled too, “I followed the path from Shalou Kuer’s video.”
“Then it must be Shalou Kuer’s fault,” Shang You declared confidently.
“What do we do now?” Naiman asked.
“I, I’ll call my brother,” Wei’an, feeling anxious and wronged, pulled out his terminal and called his brother.
As soon as the call connected and Wei’an saw his brother on the screen, he couldn’t hold back his tears. Sobbing, he said, “Brother… wuwu… male father was beaten… Wei… Wei’an was trying to help… but I can’t find the way…”
The first thing Quan Fan saw when he connected the communication was Wei’an’s tear-streaked face, and then the way he was crying and out of breath. That aggrieved look made him feel uncomfortable. Without thinking too much about what Wei’an was saying, he quickly comforted him, “It’s okay, don’t cry, just stay there, I’ll come over right away.”
After hanging up the call, Quan Fan hurriedly requested to leave and rushed out of the school. Upon exiting the gates, he unfolded his bone wings and flew into the flight path high in the sky.
Not long after, Quan Fan appeared in Wei’an and the others’ line of sight. As soon as he saw his brother, Wei’an ran forward and threw himself into his arms, anxiously saying, “Brother, male father was beaten. Let’s go help him quickly.”
Quan Fan froze for a moment, finally hearing what Wei’an said. Beaten? That seemed unlikely!
In the spacious hall, Alhandra tugged at his collar and sat lazily on the sofa, glaring at the Zerg with blue hair across from him. “What’s the matter? Has the capital star run out of space for you? Why are you here on Kato Star?”
Angus wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glanced at him with his amber eyes. “We’ll talk about our matters later, but are you out of your mind not letting me participate in this?”
Alhandra sneered, “You’re overestimating yourself. Do you think we can’t figure it out without you?”
“Alhandra!” Angus grabbed his collar and glared at him with fury. “You know as well as I do, without me, your progress would slow down by at least a third. How long are you going to hold onto this grudge from years ago? Can’t you see the bigger picture?”
Alhandra slowly pulled out a malicious smile, just about to retort when Angus suddenly headbutted him with great force.
The loud ‘thud’ from their heads colliding made even Shalou Kuer, who was peeking from outside, feel a twinge in his teeth.
“Hiss~”The pain on his legs and forehead made Angus gasp. He turned his head with evil eyes. He wanted to see who was bold enough to attack him when he wasn’t paying attention!!!—especially targeting his leg!
As soon as he arrived at his destination, Wei’an saw his father being bullied. He instantly broke free from Quan Fan’s hand, surprising everyone with his unexpected burst of energy. He grabbed his little wooden knife and charged forward.
He moved so fast that Quan Fan didn’t even have time to catch him.
The force of the rapid impact combined with his own strength directly caused Angus, who was in a state of anger and his muscles all tense, to be knocked forward unexpectedly.
Alhandra, who was hit so hard that his eyes were filled with stars, was livid, stroking his forehead and looking at the culprit along with Angus.
Wei’an, who was knocked to the ground by his own recoil, was biting his lip to prevent himself from crying out in pain. He stood up with his short hands on the ground and prepared to continue beating this bad guy who bullied his male father.
“Wei’an?!” Alhandra, shocked, stood up. “What are you doing here?”
Angus, who had just realized that his attacker was a little cub, was then swarmed by Krillochuan and the others, who rushed up to join the fight.
Feeling the wooden sword wasn’t handy enough, Shang You tossed it aside and, relying on his exceptional Zerg jumping ability, leaped onto Angus’ back, latching onto his neck and biting down.
“…” The veins on Angus’ forehead throbbed as he grabbed Krillochuan and Cole, one in each hand, while pinning Shang You and Naiman under his arms.
Grinding his teeth, he looked at the unruly cubs and wondered, Where in the world did these little cubs come from?!
“Male father.” Wei’an, having stood up, sobbed as he threw himself into Alhandra’s arms, crying and hiccupping. “Waaa… that bad Zerg was bullying you… Wei’an came to help… don’t be afraid, male father…”
Hearing his words, Alhandra couldn’t help but feel both amused and touched.
“Hmm.” He hugged Wei’an tightly, burying his face in the child’s small shoulder. “Now that Wei’an is here, male father isn’t afraid.”
Seeing the bruises and the large bump on his male father’s forehead, Wei’an’s tears flowed even more freely. He pouted and gently blew on the injury, “It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt… I’ll blow on it, and it won’t hurt anymore.”
As he spoke, he started crying harder. “Waaa… male father is hurt… Wei’an’s butt hurts too… wuwu.”
Alhandra was startled, remembering how Wei’an had fallen earlier. He quickly picked him up. “Does it hurt a lot?”
Wei’an didn’t answer but just kept crying. He looked at Angus while crying and scolded fiercely, “Big bad Zerg!”
Angus, speechless, turned to Alhandra. “Is this your little cub?”
Alhandra ignored him and hurried outside. He had to take Wei’an back to check if he had hurt himself in the fall.
Quan Fan stepped forward, taking Shang You and the others from Angus’ hands, then turned to follow Alhandra.
Angus leisurely trailed behind them, determined to make Alhandra agree to let him participate in the matter today.
Shalou Kuer also followed, but as he walked, his eyes wandered everywhere, and soon he lost sight of the others.
“Wooo… male father… my butt hurts… woo…”
Wei’an kept complaining about his sore butt the entire way, causing Alhandra’s heart to ache.
When they got home, Qiao Song conducted an examination. After treating Wei’an’s pain, he said, “It’s nothing serious, he just bruised his tailbone. Rest in bed for two days, and he’ll be fine.”
Alhandra frowned at Wei’an’s bruised and swollen backside, asking, “Are you sure it’s nothing serious?”
“It’s fine. He’ll just need to sleep on his stomach for the next couple of days.”
Quan Fan and the others arrived just in time to hear this and breathed a collective sigh of relief.
“Your butt is worse than when my male father used to hit me,” Shang You commented with a look of sympathy, staring at Wei’an’s swollen and bruised bottom.
Wei’an covered his little butt with both hands, feeling shy and angry, “Don’t look at my butt.”
Alhandra instinctively snapped a picture of the moment. When he noticed Angus’ surprised and disapproving look, he coughed awkwardly and glared back, “What are you here for?”
“I want to be involved in that matter—do you agree or not?” Angus asked impatiently.
“No.”
“Tch,” Angus clicked his tongue and licked his teeth. “Is this about that thing from back then—”
Before he could finish, Alhandra slapped his hand over Angus’ mouth, his brows furrowed deeply, “Are you crazy?”
Angus narrowed his eyes in response to the glare he received.
This lunatic.
Alhandra finally gave in.
Angus was surprised, he hadn’t expected that that issue would still be Alhandra’s Achilles’ heel!
From the bed, Wei’an turned his head, glaring angrily at the “big bad zerg” with his cheeks puffed out. He propped himself up with his hands, trying to get up, but Quan Fan swiftly stopped him, “What are you trying to do? Is there something you need?”
Wei’an clenched his tiny fists and, still glaring at Angus, said in a fierce yet cute voice, “Wei’an wants to get up and beat him out!”
Alhandra turned to look at him, the meaning in his gaze clear.
Angus, speechless, turned and left. The little cub sure knew how to hold a grudge.
Perhaps the events of the morning had frightened Wei’an, as he clung tightly to his male father all day, refusing to leave his side. His clingy, eager demeanor left Alhandra with no choice but to carry him around.
At mealtime, since Wei’an couldn’t sit up, he was once again fed while sitting in his male father’s arms, just like when he was one year old. He took a bite of the food Alhandra offered and, with round, sparkling eyes, kept giggling.
Quan Fan looked on enviously. He wanted to hold Wei’an and feed him too.
Shang You glanced at the giggling Wei’an, then turned to look at Shang Yan, who had been brought out of school to accompany them.
Understanding what Shang You wanted, Shang Yan quietly turned away with his bowl, pretending not to see or know anything.
That night, for the first time, Wei’an lay on his male father’s chest, his large eyes blinking with curiosity.
Alhandra looked down at his wide-awake gaze and smiled, “Can’t sleep?”
“A little bit,” Wei’an replied, holding up his little finger.
“Want your male father to sing you to sleep?”
“Yes.”
A deep and gentle song filled the room as little Wei’an, with his bright blue eyes wide open, listened intently. Gradually, under the soothing pats from his male father, his eyes began to close, and he drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, when Shalou Kuer didn’t see Wei’an at the kindergarten, he went up to Cole and the others and asked, “Where’s Wei’an? Why didn’t I see him today?”
“Wei’an hurt his tailbone. He has to rest at home for a couple of days.”
“Oh,” Shalou Kuer responded, walking back. When one of his younger followers asked why they hadn’t seen Wei’an, he replied, “Wei’an got into a fight with an adult male Zerg yesterday and hurt his tailbone. He won’t be coming for a couple of days.”
Wei’an was quite popular at the kindergarten, so when a young male Zerg heard this, he was shocked. He rushed off to share the news with his friends, “Wei’an from our class fought an adult male Zerg, and his tailbone cracked. He’s stuck at home and can’t come to school.”
“What? Wei’an fought an adult male Zerg and broke his tailbone? Now he has to stay home and can’t come to school at all?”
…
By the time the story reached Yi Suofan, the version was: “Wei’an fought a fierce adult Zerg to save a very beautiful little female cub, and now his tailbone is broken. He’s paralyzed for life and will never be able to come to school again.”
Yi Suofan, hearing this, looked doubtfully at the male Zerg who shared the story. The male cub, seeing his skepticism, patted his chest confidently, “It’s absolutely true. This news came straight from Cole’s mouth.”
Since the story had come from Wei’an’s close friend, Cole, Yi Suofan hesitated, but eventually believed it and agreed to visit the now supposedly paralyzed Wei’an with his friends the next day.
