Chapter 187 Back to the World 1: Wanwan
Yan Chu leaned lazily on the soft and comfortable sofa, with several round, green coconuts placed in front of him.
I saw him skillfully picking up the tools and constantly hitting the hard shell, trying to get out the tender and delicious coconut meat inside.
These coconuts are not ordinary. They all come from four remote natural regions and have traveled a long way to get here.
Just when Yanchu was concentrating on competing with Coconut, an intelligent robot slowly came over, holding the little one who had just been cleaned in its arms.
When Yan Chu just managed to get out of a coconut, he raised his head inadvertently, and his sight instantly met the little one's innocent and clear eyes.
Looking at the cute little guy in front of him, Yan Chu felt pity and subconsciously handed him a coconut with a straw inserted and asked softly, "Would you like some?"
The little one blinked his big eyes, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his little hand to take the coconut, but did not taste it immediately. Instead, he continued to stare at Yan Chu intently.
Facing the little one's focused gaze, Yan Chu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and hesitantly said, "You...you don't know how to drink, do you?"
However, the little one seemed not to hear his words and remained silent, just continuing to stare at him with eyes as clear as water.
Seeing this, Yan Chu shook his head helplessly, sighed softly, and reached out to take another coconut as a demonstration. He first took a sip of the coconut juice, and then showed the little one how to drink it correctly using a straw.
After doing all this, he looked at the little one with a smile and said softly, "Drink like me, do you understand?"
The little guy tilted his head and carefully observed Yan Chu's actions, then looked down at the coconut in his hand.
Finally, after a brief pause, the little one carefully put his lips close to the straw and gently bit it.
With a slight sucking sound, the sweet coconut juice slowly flowed into her mouth through the straw. Her eyes were shining, and she squinted with a look of happiness.
Seeing the little one trying to drink the coconut juice, Yan Chu nodded with satisfaction, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. Now he finally had time to take a good look at the little guy.
It was obvious that this was a child who had been malnourished for a long time. Her skin looked rough and dark, and she was short and thin, looking even younger than her actual age. Not only that, she also had a silly air about her, and was completely clueless about everything in the outside world.
At this moment, she was wearing a skirt that was originally chosen according to the size of a four or five-year-old child, but it looked extremely loose and baggy on her, dangling like it was hanging on a clothes hanger.
"Can you speak?" Yan Chu asked curiously.
The little guy who was drinking coconut milk in big gulps heard the sound, slowly raised his head and glanced at him, then nodded obediently.
Seeing this scene, Yan Chu couldn't help but become interested: "Do you have a name?"
However, the little guy shook his head gently, indicating that he didn't have a name.
For a moment, Yan Chu fell silent again. After a long moment, a dimly lit screen suddenly appeared before the little girl's eyes. She looked up at the screen with suspicion, her large, watery eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"Put your hand up there and pick a name for yourself." Yan Chu explained with a smile, and casually put a bunch of names suitable for girls into the so-called "prize pool".
The little guy blinked, hesitated for a moment, and then obediently stretched out his little hand and gently pressed the light screen.
Just five seconds later, two eye-catching characters suddenly appeared on the screen - Wanwan.
Yan Chu glanced at it casually, then turned to the little one and said gently, "From today on, you have a name, Wanwan."
Wanwan blinked her big eyes and looked at him, seeming to like the name very much.
"Okay, that's it." Yan Chu raised his hand and touched his head. "I should go now. Goodbye."
Yanchu packed up the house, left all the coconuts to her, and then turned and left.
After ten steps, Yan Chu stopped, turned around, and looked at the little tail behind him: "You want to follow me?"
Wanwan nodded and looked at him with her big eyes again.
Yan Chu was a little surprised. He jokingly said to her, "Little girl, are you going to follow your brother like this? Aren't you afraid that your brother is a liar and will sell you out?"
The little girl looked at him with bright eyes and said the first words: "I believe you won't lie to me!"
The voice was small, but surprisingly brave and firm.
"Heh." He squatted down and looked at her at eye level. "I don't support people, I only support data."
"But I can take you away." The Interstellar Alliance is building an orphanage, so it wouldn't be a problem to give her a ride.
After saying this, Yan Chu subconsciously looked at his watch and found that it was getting late. He had to rush back to the command center.
So, he reached out and picked up Wanwan without hesitation, then activated the teleportation device and disappeared with her.
In the temporary command center, the originally quiet and orderly atmosphere was broken by a scream.
Qi Yi stared at Yan Chu, who had suddenly appeared, with eyes wide open and a face full of horror. He couldn't help but yell, "Damn it! Boss Yan, could you please stop appearing like this all the time? My little heart can't take it. You almost scared me to death!"
Yan Chu glanced at Qi Yi calmly and said slowly, "You really need to improve your mental strength. Such a small thing can scare you to death."
Hearing this, Qi Yi still had a smile on his face, but he had already started to complain madly in his heart: "Not everyone can be as perverted as you! No normal person would show up like you, it's simply life-threatening!"
At this moment, Qi Le walked over slowly. His eyes first fell on Wanwan, who was held in Yan Chu's hand, and then without thinking, he blurted out: "You have a daughter?"
As soon as the words fell, the scene fell into a dead silence. Yan Chu said nothing, just staring at Qi Le intently. His eyes seemed to carry an invisible pressure that made people shudder.
Qi Le suddenly felt a chill and realized that he had said the wrong thing. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He could only lower his head and dared not look at Yan Chu again.
Yes, Yan Chu is so precocious and abnormal that people often overlook the fact that he is actually just a fifteen-year-old boy.
Yan Chu casually threw Wanwan to Chao Zhuyi and Xiao Minji who were walking side by side. The two of them hurriedly caught her, and then looked at each other with the confused little girl.
"I found it on the roadside. You can take it away and do with it." After saying that, he ran away again.
Wanwan looked in the direction he left, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes, but no one noticed.
Chao Zhuyi and Xiao Minji took Wanwan to the brand new welfare home. After watching Wanwan being properly accommodated by the staff, they slowly turned and left, slowly walking back the way they had come.
Along the way, both of them were silent, each thinking about their own things. At this moment, Chao Zhuyi suddenly stopped, looked ahead with a confused look, and said softly: "I seem to feel something..."
Xiao Minji's heart tightened, and with a worried look on his face, he quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, and asked anxiously: "What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell? Or did something else happen?"
Chao Zhuyi clutched his head tightly, frowned in pain, and muttered to himself, "There's a voice... that keeps echoing in my mind, calling my name..."
As the sound became stronger and stronger, Chao Zhuyi felt a splitting headache and couldn't help but groan: "It hurts..."
Seeing this, Xiao Minji hugged her in his arms without hesitation and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Chao Zhuyi shook her head hard, trying to clear her mind. After a moment, she shook her head violently, as if she had discovered some important clue. She grabbed Xiao Minji's arm tightly and said anxiously, "Quick! Let's go to the east! There's something going on there!"
"East? What did you find?" Xiao Minji asked nervously while summoning the aircraft, ready to set off at any time.
Chao Zhuyi took a deep breath, suppressing his headache as he explained, "I saw it! The beastmen are initiating a mysterious retrograde ritual! Once this ritual is completed, the entire galaxy will likely undergo tremendous changes!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minji's expression instantly grew serious. He knew this matter was of grave importance; if the retrograde ritual couldn't be stopped in time, the consequences would be disastrous. Without a second thought, he jumped into the aircraft with Chao Zhuyi and sped off eastward at top speed.
At the same time, Chao Zhuyi also took advantage of this short period of free time to quickly send an urgent message to other partners, informing them of the severe situation they were currently facing and their specific location.
