Chapter 17: The Rich Family’s Substitute Son 17: The Third Plan…
In fact, Pudding had already woken up, but he had not felt such warmth during the days of wandering outside. His ears drooped, and he lowered his body and snuggled tightly in the boy's arms.
It may subconsciously think that this boy will not bully it or hurt it.
At this time it was very scared, afraid that they would throw it out again.
Shen Qian walked closer and took a look, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if a little surprised: "Pudding slept in the bed last night?"
Fu Yuanbo was worried that his adoptive mother would think he had taken the animal to bed, so he emphasized, "It climbed up on its own. When I woke up in the morning, it was asleep in my arms."
He suddenly felt a little discouraged after he finished speaking, and then explained, "If I make the bed dirty, I'll wash it myself later."
He felt that his adoptive mother might not understand the emotion and shock she felt when she woke up and saw little Pudding in his arms, feeling the gentle touch.
Few people can give him such a sense of dependence. What he couldn't get from his family, he got from a cat.
Chen Qian smiled and said, "You brought it home yesterday. It knew you liked it, so it wanted to be close to it."
Fu Yuanbo didn't expect that his adoptive mother didn't mention anything about possibly soiling the bed, but instead affirmed the fact that Pudding took the initiative to get close to him.
"I like it too. I never thought... raising a cat would be like this. If..." Fu Yuanbo stopped abruptly: "No... nothing. Go ahead and do your thing. I'll get up right away."
Shen Qian left his son's room.
Pudding raised his head and looked at the boy with his round eyes.
Fu Yuanbo touched Pudding's furry head and sighed sweetly and worriedly.
"What do you think we should do in the future..."
What he was about to say but stopped himself was that it would be great if he could keep Pudding in the future.
The future refers to the period after the recording of the variety show "Farming with Mom" is finished. But he is sixteen years old after all, not a six-year-old child. He knows that there are many problems in his life that need to be solved urgently.
After the recording of the program is finished, he must find his mother or anyone from the Fu family to discuss his contract with Star Entertainment and his academic issues. If he continues like this, he may have to repeat a grade, and his future studies will be greatly affected.
There should also be many unreasonable aspects in the contract with Star Entertainment. With his ability, he simply cannot compete with a regular entertainment company.
Besides that, his life is also filled with many things: study, work, and the upcoming college entrance examination...
Even if he could successfully persuade his mother to bring Pudding back to the Fu family and raise it in the villa, he would not be able to accompany it for long.
When I thought about this, the touch and warmth I felt this morning because of Pudding's proximity suddenly dissipated bit by bit.
His life... he no longer had the right to dream.
When he got up, a bowl of hot noodles had just come out of the pot. Shen Qian saw his son coming out and said, "I'm going to the river to fish. You eat breakfast. When I come back, I'll take you to work in the fields."
"Wherever you go fishing, I'll go too."
"No, finish your breakfast and take Pudding to play around for a while. I'll be back soon."
Watching his adoptive mother leaving, Fu Yuanbo picked up the noodles and slurped them.
The noodles are hand-rolled, and have a completely different texture from dried noodles. They are quite soft, flexible and smooth when eaten. Because eggs are added when kneading the dough, the noodles are now golden and shiny, and each strand is clearly separated.
The noodles had a delicious aroma of scallion oil, which whetted Fu Yuanbo's appetite.
A simple bowl of scallion oil noodles made Fu Yuanbo feel like he was enjoying a Michelin meal.
Pudding also came out and squatted in front of Fu Yuanbo curiously.
"Meow..." It was greedy.
"Slurp... slurp slurp..." Fu Yuanbo had no time to pay attention to it at all.
"Meow, meow, meow!" Pudding began to protest.
Fu Yuanbo took a look at it and said with regret: "I'm sorry, you can't eat this noodle."
"Ahhh! Ahhhh!" Pudding grabbed his trouser legs and screamed heartbreakingly, but Fu Yuanbo still had an expression like an old monk in meditation, pretending not to hear and eating noodles even faster.
[Hahahaha, I thought Pudding was a little princess when she arrived, but I didn't expect her to get the same treatment as us barrage.]
[Eating noodles in front of a kitten without letting the kitten have a bite, the cat is good but the person is bad! ]
[Pudding is simply acting like me. When I saw Fu Yuanbo eating in front of the camera, I felt like biting him!]
[Who wants to see this! I want to see how Fu Yuanbo gradually falls out of favor after Princess Pudding moves in!]
"I think it's almost time. Didn't Mother Shen just go out with her fishing rod? It's hard to tell if the fish she caught is for Pudding or Fu Yuanbo."
After Fu Yuanbo finished eating the noodles and washing the dishes, he went to the river with Pudding in his arms.
Pudding was very small, and it was still a little cold in the early morning. Fu Yuanbo felt that its body temperature was a little cold, and its body began to shiver again, so he simply unzipped his coat and put the kitten inside.
Pudding was wrapped in Fu Yuanbo's coat, his body warmed by his body temperature. He seemed to feel safe, so he pulled himself out from his chest, revealing his furry little head, and looked outside with a curious expression.
Although Fu Yuanbo is only 16 years old this year, he is already 175 cm tall. The kitten curled up in his arms looks very small and even more adorable.
All the netizens in the live broadcast room were screaming.
Before Fu Yuanbo reached the river, Chen Qian was already walking back with the bucket.
He paused, then hurried forward to help carry the bucket.
"Why is it so fast today?"
The name that came out of my mouth just now was too embarrassing to say out loud now, but fortunately my adoptive mother didn't seem to take it to heart.
In fact, Chen Qian also noticed that it was extremely difficult for Fu Yuanbo to say "Mom". He might have blurted it out in the morning when he just woke up, but he still had psychological barriers to calling her out again after he woke up.
She was not in a hurry. She just hoped that he could perform normally in the variety show, feel relaxed and happy, and not slide further and further down the dead end of being a villain and cannon fodder.
She doesn't care about anything else.
"When fishing for little pudding, the fish doesn't need to be too big, just fish casually." Shen Qian smiled naturally.
Fu Yuanbo was stunned, holding the pudding in one hand and helping his foster mother carry the bucket with the other. The bucket had a lid on, so it was impossible to tell how many fish were inside. But since his foster mother had only been there for a short time, he could guess that she probably didn't catch many.
"Did you... only fish for Pudding?"
He was feeling a little complicated at this moment.
It’s not that she couldn’t do it, but when she was working in the fields yesterday, she clearly mentioned that she would make him fish with fermented black beans today.
His lips slowly pursed up, a little aggrieved...
[Hahahahaha, the netizens guessed it right just now! Little Pudding is here, and Fu Yuanbo has fallen out of favor!]
[Hurry up and pass it on, Mother Shen only fished for the kitten! ]
[Oh no, will Fu Yuanbo be so angry that he will cry? ]
[Fu Yuanbo treated Little Pudding like a treasure just now. Will he want to throw the cat away when he gets back? Hahahaha!]
Just as the netizens were laughing loudly, Shen Qian turned around and glanced at Fu Yuanbo. He also saw his little thoughts and said, "Don't worry, I caught some for you. I'll make you fish with fermented black beans today. I've remembered it."
This kid's emotions are too obvious. How did he become a villain when his emotions are written all over his face?
What Chen Qian didn't know was that Fu Yuanbo was not like this before in the Fu family. He saw that the Fu family members habitually hid their emotions and always looked calm and indifferent.
It was only after I appeared on the variety show and interacted with her that I gradually revealed my emotions bit by bit.
At this time, Fu Yuanbo couldn't help but laugh.
As expected, his adoptive mother still remembered him. She remembered everything she said and promised.
Maybe...his adoptive mother would be able to solve the problem that troubled him just now.
"I guess Pudding has never eaten fish before." Fu Yuanbo said as he thought about how to start the conversation.
"It's okay. I'm pretty good at fishing. I'll try it later. If it likes to eat, it shouldn't have trouble finding fish."
"But...if we leave, what will happen to Pudding?"
"Um?"
"I mean, after we finish recording the show, will Pudding stay?" Fu Yuanbo asked carefully, his heart in his throat.
He had never had a pet before and never knew that such a small thing could make people worry so much.
He felt extremely sad when he thought that such encounters and interactions might be temporary, and separation would be long-lasting.
But Fu Yuanbo also knew that it was wrong to throw this difficult problem to his adoptive mother. He was not her biological son. Her ability to accompany him to the show was already a fulfillment of the love between them as mother and son. He should not ask for anything more.
But he really had no other choice. Apart from asking his adoptive mother for help, he had no one else to turn to.
Home was not far away. Shen Qian carried the bucket into the house in one breath, put it down, and then looked at Fu Yuanbo.
She remained silent for the entire short distance, and Fu Yuanbo's heart was hanging in the air.
"After the show is recorded, there are three options for Pudding's placement."
Fu Yuanbo held his breath and stared at Chen Qian intently.
Shen Qian said, "Of course the most convenient way is to leave it to the villagers in the village, such as Aunt Liu next door. I can go and ask her if she is willing to raise Pudding."
Fu Yuanbo was not surprised by this plan. In fact, he had thought of it before.
He nodded without saying anything and showing any expression.
Shen Qian continued, "Of course, if you think it's not good to leave it in the countryside, another option is to take it back with you after returning to Nancheng, and then find a reliable adopter for it."
Fu Yuanbo still didn't react. These were all very reasonable. It seemed that this was the way things should be done. In this way, Pudding could be properly settled. No matter which plan was chosen, it was better than it wandering around the village, suffering from cold and hunger, and possibly being bullied by other cats and dogs.
Shen Qian looked at his son's seemingly calm but actually sad expression and hesitated to mention the third option.
She did have many plans for Fu Yuanbo's future, but these plans did not originally include a cat.
However, she came to this world just to change Fu Yuanbo's predetermined fate. In his original life, he had no family affection and no pets to accompany him. He could not get warmth from anyone, which led to his ultimate tragic and destructive fate.
Since she came as his mother, she wanted to give him what she could.
It's just a little kitten, it doesn't want the stars in the sky.
Fu Yuanbo hugged Pudding tightly at this moment, and the reluctance and sadness on his face became more and more obvious.
He knew that he was too greedy, and he was trying hard to persuade himself that this was already good enough, and he had tried his best. Even if he couldn't get along with Pudding for a long time, its future life would be guaranteed.
But why does my heart hurt so much?
Just when he felt his heart tightening, he heard his adoptive mother say, "Of course, if you really like pudding, there is a third option."
