Chapter 291 Pangpang~~ we just met an uncle who wants to be your dad~~

Chapter 291 Fatty~~ We just met an uncle who wants to be your dad~~

The island has been buzzing with rumors about their family of three.

Even Hu Yang, a senior scientist who usually keeps to himself, has heard plenty.

Although they briefly met at a conference in the capital last time, this was the first time he had seen this little guy, who bears a striking resemblance to Fu, up close.

The little guy is really cute.

Fu Zhengtu stopped and nodded: "Morning, Engineer Hu."

Hu Yang smiled: "Morning, morning. Is this Chenchen?"

Fu Zhengtu nodded: "Yeah, my son, Chenchen. This is Uncle Hu."

Chenchen looked up, his eyes twinkling: "Hi, Uncle Hu~~"

Hu Yang grinned: "Good, good, morning, Chenchen."

How did Fu Zhengtu end up with such a delightful kid, even more than the rumors say?

"By the way, Zhengtu, I wanted to ask you something. Is that kid named Fatty living at your house?" Hu Yang asked.

Before Fu Zhengtu could respond,

Chenchen eyed him warily, perhaps thinking Hu Yang seemed kind, and replied:

"My dad just got back yesterday~~ He doesn't know~~ Fatty doesn't live with us~~"

Hu Yang was surprised, smiling warmly: "Yes, yes, does Chenchen know?"

Chenchen tilted his head: "I know~~ But I can't tell you~~ Bad guys might hurt Fatty~~"

Hu Yang laughed: "Uncle's not a bad guy. I don't have kids and want Fatty to live with us. I wonder if he'd like that."

"Ah~~" Chenchen scrutinized him, asking questions even Fu Zhengtu didn't expect:

"Do you wanna be Fatty's dad~~ Are you a good guy~~ Will you hurt Fatty~~ Will Fatty get enough to eat~~ Will you treat Fatty as good as my dad treats me~~"

Both Hu Yang and Fu Zhengtu were stunned.

Is this really how a three-year-old thinks?

Hu Yang was touched: "If Fatty wants to live with us, I'll treat him well, don't worry."

Chenchen tilted his head, studying him, then asked Fu Zhengtu: "Dad~~ Is Uncle Hu bad~~ Is he telling the truth~~"

Fu Zhengtu paused: "..."

"Uncle Hu's a good guy." Having worked together for years, Fu Zhengtu knew Hu Yang's character was solid.

Chenchen turned back to Hu Yang: "I'll ask Fatty~~ See if he wants to live with you~~"

Chenchen shook his head: "No~~ Fatty's leg is broken~~ He can't go to school~~ He has to stay at our place during the day~~ He can only go when his leg heals~~"

The kid's too sharp—Hu Yang couldn't treat him like a little kid.

Bending down, he said: "It's fine. Uncle has an old lady at home who can look after Fatty."

Fu Zhengtu glanced at Chenchen, knowing that the child understood a lot. Pangpang's biological father was most likely Captain Li from the border region, but Fu Zhengtu needed to verify this before confirming. For now, he couldn't bring this up with the child.

However, Hu Yang needed to know about this, and it might even be necessary to contact Pangpang's biological father to explain the situation.

"We'll talk about this later. Let's grab some breakfast first. I'll come to your office later to discuss something," Fu Zhengtu said.

Hu Yang nodded. "Alright, I need to grab some breakfast too. Let's go together."

Along the way, Hu Yang kept chatting with Chenchen, mostly asking about Pangpang and occasionally testing the child's knowledge.

Hu Yang was surprised by how much the child knew. Even though Chenchen didn't speak very clearly, he was sharp and had great logic. When faced with questions he wasn't sure how to answer, the child would look up at his father for a cue.

Fu Zhengtu couldn't help laughing at this.

Chenchen wanted to eat jianbing guozi, a popular Chinese street food, and Fu Zhengtu, thinking that Su Taotao hadn't had it for a while, decided to take Chenchen to buy some.

Hu Yang tagged along to buy some too.

Hu Yang bought an extra one and handed it to Chenchen. "Chenchen, can you give this to Pangpang? Tell him it's from Uncle Hu."

Chenchen blinked and shook his head cutely. "No need~ Dad already got one~ You can keep it~"

Chenchen was great at math. There were only four people in the house, and his dad usually bought four. Today, he bought five, so one of them was for Pangpang.

Hu Yang was taken aback, then laughed. "Oh, right, I was being silly. I'll treat you to something else next time."

Chenchen still shook his head. "Mom says I can't take stuff from others~ You don't have to buy me anything~"

Hu Yang thought Fu Zhengtu and his wife's parenting style was pretty interesting. Chenchen could say and do what he wanted, and Fu Zhengtu generally didn't interfere too much, allowing the child to express himself freely.

It must have taken a lot of effort for the couple to raise such a good kid.

Hu Yang suddenly felt the heavy responsibility. Raising a kid wasn't easy.

If he were to adopt Pangpang, he would have to dedicate a lot of energy to raising the child.

In the end, he didn't give away the jianbing guozi or learn much more about Pangpang.

It was a bit of a letdown.

When they returned home, Pangpang had already arrived.

Sometimes he ate breakfast at Auntie Zhong's, sometimes at Su Taotao's, and sometimes a little at both. It wasn't very fixed.

"Pangpang~ We just met an uncle who wants to be your dad~"

"Huh? What's he like?"

It had been a long time since he last heard someone wanting to be his father.

Actually, he felt that things were pretty good as they were. Both Auntie Zhong and Su Taotao treated him very well, and he felt like he had gained two more mothers.

Chenchen thought for a moment, tilting his head cutely. "My dad said he's a good person~ I don't think he looks like a bad guy~ He even wanted to treat you to jianbing guozi~"

Pangpang's eyes lit up...

Chenchen spread his hands and said, "But I said no~"

"Huh??" Pangpang was extremely disappointed.

Chenchen added, "Because my dad already got one for you~~"

Pangpang: "...Chenchen, can you just finish your sentences all at once?"

Chenchen is so smart, so why does he always talk so slowly? It’s driving Pangpang crazy.

Chenchen blinked, looking innocent: "I need to take a breath~~"

Pangpang: "Alright, fine. For the sake of the pancake, I forgive him."

"Chenchen, what do you think of that uncle? He wanted to buy me a pancake without even meeting me, so he must be a good person, right?"

Chenchen said seriously, "I think~~ my dad and mom are smarter~~ you should hear what they have to say first~~"

Chenchen always thought Pangpang could be easily fooled with just a piece of candy, so his judgment wasn’t reliable.

In the kitchen, Fu Zhengtu and Su Taotao were also talking about this.

Su Taotao stared at Fu Zhengtu in disbelief: "Wait, you know Pangpang’s real dad? This world is way too small, huh?"

Or was it because she had that time-traveler vibe? Everything around her seemed to have a touch of the mystical.
