Qingqing stopped, turned around, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him: "You're being so naughty! Brother Xiaoyu will discipline you too!"

"Mmm, let him beat me to death." Wenren Lei took her hand. "Let's hurry up."

Despite her tough words, Qingqing still grabbed a bottle of prepared formula for Wenren Lei as she passed by a room.

"Hey, eat your fill."

Wenren Lei looked at the small baby bottle and raised an eyebrow: "Thank you."

He held it in his hand without drinking it, and at the same time began to doubt himself. He was a one-year-old man, still drinking milk?

He looked up at the sign on the door that read "Nursing Room" and felt a chill run down his spine. Just how many children had this research institute taken in?

On the way to find Wenren Yu, I encountered many researchers.

Wenren Lei turned her round little head to look at them, but their facial features were all blurry and their appearances were unclear.

Just then, Qingqing suddenly called out, "Uncle Wenren!"

Wenren Lei suddenly stopped and slowly turned her head to look ahead.

A tall man half-squatted on the ground and stretched out his hand to him: "Little Golden Bean, come here."

Wenren stood frozen in place, tears streaming down her face.

The man in front of me was tall and handsome, with refined features, though his face was more striking than my brother's. His hair was neatly styled, and he wore a gentle smile.

"dad."

Wenren Lei unconsciously uttered those two words.

Seeing that he didn't move, the man got up, walked over, picked him up, and held him in his arms.

Wenren Lei blinked and stared blankly at her father's face.

Even though he knew the illusion was fraught with danger, at this moment, he was incredibly attached to this cold embrace.

The man reached out and gently pinched the tip of his nose: "Why are you looking at Dad like that?"

Qingqing waved her hand and said, "Uncle Wenren, I'm going back to my room now."

The man nodded: "Okay, thank you for taking care of him."

"Uncle, please don't be so polite."

After Qingqing left, the man took the baby bottle from Wenren Lei's hand, threw it into the trash can by the corridor, and gently instructed, "Baby, Daddy told you not to eat anything she gives you."

Wenren Lei's small hand touched the man's cheek, many unnamed emotions stuck in her throat, unable to speak.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Dad, hello, my name is Wenren Lei."

"Hmm?" The man brought his ear close to Wenren Lei's mouth. "Daddy didn't hear you clearly, baby, say it again."

Wenren Lei frowned and spoke several times, but it was as if there was an invisible barrier between them, and the man could not receive the message.

Wenren Lei pursed her lips and gave in.

This is just an illusion. The name Wenren Lei was given to him later by Wenren Yu.

So no matter how many times he repeated it, this father from over a decade ago could not hear him clearly.

The man suddenly laughed and affectionately rubbed his cheek against his son's: "What's wrong, is our little golden bean about to shed tears again?"

Wenren Lei nestled her face into the crook of his neck and called out again, "Dad."

"Xiuqi!" A handsome young man strode over. "What are you doing here? I was waiting for you at the lab."

Wenren Xiuqi shook Wenren Lei in his arms: "I'll take the baby back to the room and then I'll be there."

The young man grinned from ear to ear when he saw Wenren Lei, pulled a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to her: "For our little golden bean."

Wenren Xiuqi snatched the candy from his hand and put it in Wenren Lei's pocket, saying as he walked forward, "Baby, say thank you to your uncle."

Wenren Lei didn't look up or make a sound; he was about to cry, but he had to hold it in.

The young man caught up and poked Wenren Lei's exposed half-face: "If you don't call me uncle, I'll take your candy away."

Wenrenlei turned her head and left the other person with a round back of her head.

Wenren Xiuqi chuckled softly: "Wen Chi, don't tease him like that, he'll cry."

Wen Chi didn't care and retorted nonchalantly, "Boys need to cry more so they can grow taller."

Wenren Xiuqi said, "Then cry for me."

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Wen Chizhen cried all the way.

Wenren was speechless, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt that this uncle was not a normal person.

Wenren Xiuqi carried him to a door and pushed it open to enter.

This is a cozy children's room.

Six-year-old Wenren Yu was sitting at his small desk reading a book when he looked up and saw the person who had come in. He called out, "Dad, Uncle."

"Little fish~" Wen Chi took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Wenren Yu.

Wenren Yu took it and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

Wen Chi looked blissfully happy and nodded repeatedly, "Mmm~"

Wenren Xiuqi shook his head and smiled, then carried Wenren Lei to the cabinet by the wall and skillfully mixed the formula with one hand.

He handed the bottle to Wenrenlei and said gently, "After you finish drinking, go to sleep with your brother." He then called out, "Xiaoyu, remind your brother to rinse his mouth before bed."

Wenren Yu said calmly, "I understand."

Wenren Lei tugged at her father's sleeve: "Can we go home?"

Wenren Xiuqi put him down on the ground, half-squatted down, and patted his little head: "Soon. Once Dad and Uncle are ready, we'll take Mom home together."

Wenren Lei stood there stunned, looking at the two tall men in the room, feeling that something he didn't want to see was about to happen.

Wenren Xiuqi instructed, "Eat the candy your uncle gave you tomorrow; eating it at night will cause cavities."

Wenren Lei nodded.

"Goodnight, sweetie."

Wenren Xiuqi and Wen Chi left together.

The door was closed, leaving only him and young Wenren Yu in the small children's room.

The room was dimly lit, with two children's beds, a carpet in the middle, a slide, and a small tent with various toys scattered inside.

Besides the cabinet against the wall, there was a row of low children's bookshelves, next to which were small children's tables and chairs, where Wenren Yu sat and flipped through books.

The clock on the desk shows that it is now 9:30 pm.

Wenren Lei drank the milk powder in one gulp, smacked her lips, and realized it was indeed an illusion; the milk powder had no taste.

He put the bottle on the ground, put his hands in his pockets, went into the tent, pinched out a small toy car, then bent down, placed it on the ground, and kicked it away with a "biu".

The car slid along with a gurgling sound and bumped into Wenren Yu's foot.

Wenren Yu looked up at him and asked patiently, "What's wrong?"

Wenren Lei, hands still in her pockets, blew on her bangs with a crooked mouth and asked, "Brother, which district are you from?"

Wenren Yu pondered for a moment, then answered seriously, "I'm from... the older brother district?"

Wenren Lei raised her tender eyebrows.

Okay, looks like his brother is an NPC too.

He strode up to Wenren Yu with his short legs: "Dad said he'll be home soon, is that true?"

Wenren Yu turned a page of her book and said calmly, "Children don't need to worry about these things."

Wenren Lei stood there and looked at him for a while.

At this time, Wenren Yu still had short black hair and looked like a cute little boy. Well, he was a cute little boy.

Wenren Lei felt an itch to pinch his cheek, but was afraid that the young Wenren Yu would pull out Seven Wolves and beat him on the spot, so she held back in the end.

He spun around in place, walked to the door of the room, turned around and said, "Hey bro, I'm going out to play."
