The cries of the baby in the nursery behind her rang out shrilly, and Ji An's face paled, then quickly became more desperate and broken.

"There's a child?" Liu Jiayi tilted her head slightly, she had always been very good at listening to sounds and she soon decided, "In the last room of the house, it must be Su Yang's child."

Ji An's mind went blank, and she didn't have time to think carefully before she turned around and stumbled frantically into the nursery.

With trembling hands she locked the room, turned and picked up the baby, breathing heavily as she walked left and right across the room, tears of fear spilling from the corners of her eyes.

She pushed open the window and shouted heartily into the empty street: "Anyone! Help! Somebody! Please!"

No one has responded to Ji An.

She cried hysterically as she buried her face in the baby's swaddling clothes, but her hands covered the baby's ears and she kept kissing and soothing the frightened baby: "It's all right, baby, sleep tight, mummy's here, mummy won't let anything happen to you."

The click of a lock being inserted with a key was heard behind her back as she held it against the lock, and then it slowly turned.

Ji An's breath stopped as she reached into her pyjama pocket with a shaking hand, the key to the baby's room she had put in there too.

Now it's the same as a mobile phone, which can't disappear, stolen by those two people.

Ji An gave a long sob, her face covered in tears, and she closed her eyes in despair.

The nursery's slowly opened.

It was empty, except for the cot bell, which was still jingling.

Mu Sicheng gave a curious giggle as he looked around the room and bent down to look under the bed: "Where is she? I clearly saw her run into this room."

Liu Jiayi raised his hand to stop Mu Sicheng's steps forward, "The breathing is still there."

She half-closed her eyes and "looked" around, then looked up at the window, "The man is outside the window."

"Outside the window?!" Mu Sicheng was shocked.

He stepped forward and pulled open the window to look outside, turning his head to see Ji An, holding the baby on her knees on the external heater of the air conditioner and the tiny baby she was holding in her dead arms.

The night was cold and fierce, blowing Ji An's white nightgown into a bulge and shaking, and she looked like a dandelion about to be blown off at any moment, clinging to its seeds as tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Ji An's eyes were red as she stared at Mu Sicheng, gritting her teeth and threatening Mu Sicheng like a mother who was about to be robbed of her cubs: "Even if I were to jump with the baby in my arms, I wouldn't be caught and used to threaten Su Yang!

Mu Sicheng A head is suddenly two sizes too big: "Big sister, we don't have that in mind just yet! Of course we don't deny that there may be such an arrangement to follow, but we mainly want to find Su ......"

As she was talking, Ji An took two alert steps backwards on her knees, shaking her head, when the screws of the old air conditioning unit rusted and twisted, suddenly tilting to one side as Ji An stepped backwards, sending her tumbling down the stairs in a panic.

But Ji An, who had just said she was going to jump down with her baby in her arms, reacted subconsciously to send the baby package in her arms towards Mu Sicheng when she was in a life-or-death situation.

Her eyes were desperate and begging, her voice choked with sobs, "Please! Save my baby!"

Mu Sicheng's pupils fluttered and his motor reflexes were so quick that he hooked one foot on the window, his eyes blazing as he reached out with the other foot to hold the crumbling air conditioning shelf to avoid hitting the child and Ji An.

The heavy weight on his ankles made the tendons in Mu Sicheng's forehead pop out and he pressed himself against the outer wall, one hand gripping the edge of the window and the other encircling Ji An's waist as he descended.

"Shit!" Mu Sicheng's face turned red and his carotid artery was pulsating from the excessive force, "You're heavy, big sister!!!"

The baby wrapped in Ji An's arms had been loosened by Mu Sicheng's tugging and pulling.

The baby, dazed and somewhat happy, babbled a few times, moved its little arms and legs and slowly slid out of the package.

"Fuck! " Mu Sicheng eyed the baby that was slowly sliding downwards, but he had no more hands to reach, "You hold on to your baby!"

"Eeewww!" The baby slid completely out of the package.

The baby slipped out of the air with her eyes wide open, her arms and legs moving as if trying to grab her mother's fingers, not understanding what was going on and just falling down with innocent eyes.

"The baby!!!" Ji An turned around and tried her best to reach the tiny baby, her face looked like it was going crazy, her face was covered in tears, "MY BABY!!!!"

Liu Jiayi crossed over Mu Sicheng, propped himself up against the window with one hand and tumbled down without hesitation.

Mu Sicheng exclaimed: " Liu Jiayi! Hey! You can't see it!"

Liu Jiayi didn't look back, as if she could see, as she hung lightly from the air conditioner propped up by Mu Sicheng, jumping several times before finally hanging on to one with one hand and catching the foot of a falling child.

The child hangs upside down in mid-air, as if he hadn't reacted, swaying on all fours and asking for a hug from Liu Jiayi.

Liu Jiayi held the child steady with one arm in front of her and landed firmly on the ground floor with a few more jumps. She stood at the bottom of the building and waved casually at Mu Sicheng, then carried the child and walked up the stairs, presumably going up the stairs.

Mu Sicheng was relieved and helped pull Ji An up.

Ji An gasped twice in shock, turned and stumbled towards the door.

Once opened, Liu Jiayi was already standing outside, the baby's nappy was being carried far away from her, but the baby seemed to find this amusing, giggling and trying to reach out to grab Liu Jiayi's face.

Liu Jiayi pushed away the child who tried to approach her with numb disgust and quickly handed Ji An the nappy in her hand: "Here, she peed all over me."

Ji An took the baby and, holding it in her arms, she sat down on the floor, taking a few deep breaths to calm her emotions, before covering her face and crying out.

Mu Sicheng came out rubbing his shoulder and looked at Liu Jiayi in amazement: "You're good, can't you see? How did you manage to jump on those air conditioning units so accurately?"

"Listen to the sound." Liu Jiayi says naturally, "When it's quiet and loud at night, I can tell where the obstruction is by the reverberation of the sound, and the air conditioning unit is box-shaped, so the reverberation will be big and strange and obvious, don't you know how to do that?"

At the end, Liu Jiayi's expression takes on a hint of contempt.

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Don't talk about this strange skill as if I would take it for granted!

Isn't that something only bats can do? It's only natural that humans can't do it! It's strange that you can jump six floors with ease, you monster child!

When Ji An came out after setting up the baby, her pyjamas still bore the rust from the air conditioning rack.

Mu Sicheng and Liu Jiayi are very comfortable on the sofa, these two probably don't know how to spell "sorry", but Ji An, who came out of the nursery, is a bit nervous.

Especially after seeing the cuts on Mu Sicheng's face from her scratching and Liu Jiayi's palm, which was a little red and swollen from being strangled by the frame in order to catch the baby, Ji An gripped her wrist and opened her mouth with her head bowed, but the sharp questions could not be uttered.

After a long silence, she turned her head into the room and took out a small medical kit, half-crouched in front of the coffee table and placed the antiseptic band-aids and bandages on the coffee table.

Looking at these on the coffee table, Mu Sicheng looks up at Ji An in a strange way.

Ji An kept her head down, saying nothing, but only slightly tilting her head to the side, pursing her lips to avoid meeting Mu Sicheng's measuring gaze.

Ji An's hair is dishevelled and her eyes are red and swollen, and it is clear that she was crying in fear in the room just now.

Eventually Mu Sicheng picked up the disinfectant kit on the coffee table and handed it to Liu Jiayi with disinfectant water.

Once Ji An had gathered herself, she took a deep breath and calmly turned to the two unexpected guests, "What do you want with Su Yang?"

"His colleagues caught us ......" Mu Sicheng was ready to search his mind for an exact word to describe Bai Liu and their relationship, but before he could find it, Liu Jiayi took over blandly, "His colleagues grabbed my dad without warning."

Ji An's face became a little surprised, "Is your ...... Dad?"

Liu Jiayi admitted without changing her face, "Yes."

Mu Sicheng covered his mouth and let out a terrific coughing sound. He was just about to speak when Liu Jiayi's hand under the coffee table twisted the flesh around his waist.

Liu Jiayi blinked and tears instantly flowed from her big, hollow eyes. She bit her lower lip, sniffled twice and said in a low voice, "Big sister, we really don't want to do anything to you, but my most important father was taken away, ah, I only know that I heard them shouting that one of the people in the arrest was called Su Yang, that's all I know. "

"I was really looking for my home, I searched for a long time before I found your home." Liu Jiayi reached pathetically for Ji An's sleeve, "We don't want to hurt you or your child, I just want my dad to come home and you are waiting for your child's dad to come home too aren't you? You have a child too, you know what it's like for a child to be forced to leave the only father she can count on."

"I know he seemed to be doing very dangerous work, but I swear everything he did was legal, all to give me a better life, and even if it was for me, he wouldn't have done anything bad." Liu Jiayi wrinkled her nose and tears rolled down her face in big drops as she choked up, "I just thought about him and I Buming white, why he was arrested when he didn't do anything."

As a new mother who spends her days and nights in fear for Su Yang, but is never sure exactly what she is doing, it is hard for Ji An not to feel empathy for what Liu Jiayi says, and the look of rejection on her face becomes one of hesitation.

As Liu Jiayi emotionally covered her face and sobbed with unbearable sadness, Ji An was finally moved by the little girl who had just saved her own child from death, and she saw her own child in this vulnerable child.

Ji An reached forward and gave Liu Jiayi a gentle hug, sighing and stroking Liu Jiayi's hair.

"...... Don't cry." Ji An said with a sigh as he patted Liu Jiayi's shoulder in relief, "Your dad ...... should be fine."

Liu Jiayi looks up from Ji An's shoulder, her face still streaked with tears, but expressionlessly mouthing to Mu Sicheng: learn from it.

A dumbfounded Mu Sicheng: "......"
