Even fabricating identity documents requires identity information. Lou Quan called Lou Yu and asked him to submit a document containing information about Tao Qiu and her child, including name, gender, age, date of birth, and a photo.

Lou Yu, unaware of the situation, asked, "What do you need these for?"

Lou Quan knew that Lou Yu didn't know the contents of that letter; Snow Bird probably wanted to give Lou Yu a surprise.

He didn't intend to tell Lou Yu either, so he just made up a reason. "Even if they're just here for a few days, we still need to put on a good show. I'll give them some identification so that if anything unexpected happens, their identities won't be exposed."

Lou Yu thought it made sense, so he agreed.

He had photos of Tao Qiu and the children on his phone, and he also knew other information about them. He quickly organized and packaged the information and sent it to Lou Quan.

Lou Quan looked at the three children—three years old, then at their birth dates—and realized they were triplets!

Hmm, should I say it's normal for a bird to lay three eggs in its nest, or... should I say his cousin is amazing?

Lou Yu was unaware that his cousin was secretly criticizing him. He was looking for a suitable house, otherwise, when Qiuqiu and the three children arrived, they couldn't possibly squeeze in with their group.

Actually, saying it's crowded isn't quite accurate. The team's house is quite large, and there are even extra rooms.

But that was bought by him and his teammates together. Tao Qiu and the others can't just come once in a while, and it's inconvenient for them to stay at his place all the time.

Lou Yu had calculated that the money he earned from selling materials several times before, plus his own savings, would be more than enough to buy a house.

Since you have the money, it's better to buy your own house.

For a family of five, the house definitely can't be too small; ideally, it should be a detached house with its own yard. Sunlight and the environment also need to be considered, and for safety, it should be far from the city wall.

The base has several residential areas of different grades. Lou Yu was quite satisfied with the one where his team lived, but there weren't many vacant apartments. Lou Yu spent more than half a month picking and choosing before finally settling on one.

The house had a previous owner, but they moved away after living there for less than two years. The renovations were all ready-made, similar to most houses on the site. There was nothing to criticize about the Lou Yu, so I don't plan to make any major changes.

His main concerns were whether the house's infrastructure was complete and functional, as well as the selection of furniture, the overall layout of the house, and how to arrange each area.

Whenever he has free time, Lou Yu goes back and forth between the shopping mall and his new home, and doesn't go home to rest until the evening.

At first, his teammates thought he was busy with work, until one day John and Huo Lan left work early and went home, where they encountered Lou Yu leading workers to move furniture into a yard.

At the same time they saw Lou Yu also saw them.

The two men stepped forward, Huo Lan asked with some surprise, "Captain, is this your new job? Helping people move?"

Lou Yu shook his head and said, "No? Helping someone else move? Yes? I'm setting up my new home."

"What?" John's eyes widened. "Captain, you want to move out?"

Lou Yu's expression remained calm. "Yes? No? You should go back first, I'll explain to you tonight."

Now that he had told Lou Quan about his relationship with Tao Qiu, how could he keep it a secret from his teammates who had shared life and death with him, who were not only friends but also family?

I hadn't said anything before because I hadn't figured out how to bring it up, but my teammate happened to see him decorating his new house today, so I just confessed it to him.

When Lou Yu arrived home in the evening, the five of them ate dinner and then sat down in the living room.

All four of them, including Huo Lan, looked at Lou Yu. After returning in the afternoon, John and Huo Lan told the other two what Lou Yu had said.

They all felt that Lou Yu would definitely drop a bombshell on them, so they waited for several hours, and now the answer could finally be revealed.

Lou Yu took a sip of hot water before saying, "I bought a new house outside, and it's currently being furnished. I'll probably move there for a while during the winter because my wife and child are coming to the base for a few days."

After he finished speaking, apart from Chen Lin who showed a look of sudden realization, the other three looked completely bewildered.

Liu Qi'an scratched his head. "Captain, are you kidding me? When did you get a wife and kids? How come we didn't know?"

John said, "Exactly? We're basically together every day, so where did you get the child with whom?"

Huo Lan's smile was dry, "It can't be that... it's there during missions, can it?"

Judging from Lou Yu's tone, his lover and child shouldn't be from the Yong'an Base.

They had previously suspected that Lou Yu had a girlfriend at another base, but after that, no further clues emerged, and Lou Yu didn't show any signs of having a girlfriend, so the speculation was dropped.

But now Lou Yu says he not only has a lover but also a child, which has puzzled his teammates. Could it be that Lou Yu had a relationship with that person while on a mission, and then that person found out she was pregnant and gave birth after returning, only to tell Lou Yu later?

If it's true, then that's a bit too dramatic.

Lou Yu smiled and said, "I guess so."

"Huh?" The three of them were shocked. Huo Lan was right!

Lou Yu's smile widened even more, "My wife? You know her too, and you've met her more than once."

"What!"

The three men's minds raced. They'd seen this woman more than once, and she was from an outer base—why couldn't they remember her?

Perhaps sensing their confusion, Chen Lin, who had already guessed the outcome, kindly reminded them, "It might not be a woman, nor might it be a real human being."

Liu Qi'an laughed heartily, "Chen Lin, what are you saying? Not a real human? Or some kind of mutated monster?"

After he finished speaking, Chen Lin did not refute him, and Lou Yu still had a smiling expression.

Liu Qi'an, John, and Huo Lan: "..."

John's voice trembled slightly. "A man, a mutated monster. We've seen him more than once, and he's had dealings with you, Captain."

Alright, no need to say more, the answer is obvious.

Lou Yu stopped keeping them in suspense, took out his phone, showed them photos of himself, Tao Qiu, and the children, and pushed them in front of his four teammates.

Even though Chen Lin had already guessed the outcome, he still couldn't resist joining the other three to watch.

A white-haired, green-eyed adult man—if this is indeed the Snow Bird, it does match his white feathers and green eyes in bird form.

And there are three children, with features and looks that seem to have inherited the best traits from the white-haired man and Lou Yu; they're so beautiful and adorable they're almost melting people's hearts.

If this photo isn't fake, then Lou Yu wasn't lying; he does have a lover and a child.

It took the teammates a long time to look away from their phone screens and then back at Lou Yu.

Huo Lan swallowed nervously. "I think all three children are at least three years old. Considering the timeline, could it be... that time?"

Lou Yu nodded. "Yes, that was the time."

Liu Qi'an gasped, then gave Lou Yu a thumbs-up. "Captain, you're amazing!"

Not only did he date a high-level mutated monster, but he also got her to have his offspring, and it seems he conceived on the first try. And this mutated monster was male!

John suddenly realized, "No wonder Snow Bird only gets close to you, Captain!"

They're dating, it would be strange if they weren't close.

Chen Lin spoke up at this moment, "Captain, you must be the one who was taken back to the nest by the Snow Bird and discovered that he could turn into a human, right? The Snow Bird ate and used the supplies that were given to you afterwards. It wasn't that it reluctantly accepted them because it felt sorry for you."

After hearing what he said, John and the others realized what was going on.

In the photos just now, Snow Bird and the three children were all wearing clothes, clearly the same ones Lou Yu had sent over before.

They had speculated so many times about why Snow Bird accepted Lou Yu's gifts, but it turns out the reason was simple: Snow Bird could use those things anyway!

But you can't blame them for being stupid; who could have imagined that a mutated monster would turn into a human? It's unprecedented!

Huo Lan looked at Lou Yu: "Captain, you've kept this from us for so long..."

"I'm sorry." Lou Yu clasped his hands together in an apologetic gesture. "As you all know, the fact that mutated monsters can turn into humans is something that shouldn't be publicized. The more people who know, the easier it is to expose the truth, and I don't want Snow Bird to be in danger."

How many people? After thinking about it, I also felt it made a lot of sense.

If this were discovered by someone with ulterior motives, the Snow Bird would surely be captured and studied.

Liu Qi'an suddenly said, "That's not right, Captain. If you're worried about the Snow Bird and the children being in danger, then why did you send them here in the first place? What if Lou Quan finds out about it at the base?"

He had barely finished speaking when Lou Yu interjected, "He already knows."

"Ah?"

How many more times will Lou Yu shock them tonight?!

Lou Yu briefly recounted to his teammates the events from when his house was burgled, how Lou Quan guessed the secret of Snow Bird's ability to turn into a human through photos, how Lou Quan didn't reveal this to the people at the Central Base even under severe torture, and how he asked Snow Bird for help in planting crops.

After hearing this, Liu Qi'an clutched his chest, feeling as if he could barely breathe.

He said, "Captain, you mean... that the Snow Bird can not only transform into a human and have children, but also possesses the ability to rapidly promote the growth of plants, right?"

Lou Yu: "Yes."

Liu Qi'an almost choked on his breath. "This isn't a monster, this is a god, just like those omnipotent gods in TV dramas!"

Lou Yu: "You could think that way. After all, Snow Bird don't eat people, which does make them different from other mutated monsters."

Chen Lin's expression was grave. "Captain, could we see that video that Lou Quan watched?"

Huo Lan eagerly raised his hand. "I want to see too! There are actually such amazing superpowers in the world?"
