He looked at the water under the warm lights and couldn't help but glance at the frowning Lin Nuan, an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Put your hands under the cold water and don't move. I'll go upstairs to see if there's any ointment for burns." Lin Nuan turned around and instructed Fu Tianci.
The tips of his ears were red as he nodded.
Fu Tianci relaxed after seeing Lin Nuan go upstairs. He propped his elbows on the edge of the sink and kept washing the back of his hands. The water on his fingertips was dyed transparent gold by the lights, sparkling.
When Fu Huai 'an carried Tuan Tuan back to his room, he saw Fu Tianci standing at the door with one hand on the doorknob and the other looking at late-night takeout on his phone. Seeing Fu Huai' an go upstairs, Fu Tianci was so frightened that he hid his phone behind his back.
Fu Huai 'an thought that Fu Tianci probably hadn't eaten after a long night, so he asked him to go downstairs to eat something.
Fu Tianci smelled the fragrance of home-cooked food in the kitchen the moment he went downstairs.
Fu Huai 'an rarely ate the food his mother prepared. When he was young, his mother was busy and would always bring him takeout or take him out to eat!
Later, he became Fu Tianci and had a chef and servants at home!
Sometimes, Fu Tianci missed the days when he was still Lu Tianyu. He would go to his classmate's house and eat the home-cooked food made by his classmate's mother, feeling especially envious.
The taste of home-cooked food couldn't be made by the chefs hired by Fu Qingquan from other restaurants or the Fu manor!
Yet, Fu Tianci liked the taste …
Fu Tianci felt heartwarming to see someone busy in the kitchen late at night.
He guessed that no matter how late Fu Huai 'an came back, Lin Nuan would always wait like this?
Fu Tianci's mother was very strict with him. Usually, he wasn't allowed to eat anything after 7 pm, not even fruits. Fu Tianci's mother said this was self-discipline and that only a disciplined person could achieve great things.
Fu Tianci's eyes moistened at the thought of his mother …
Actually, his mother had always doted on him. However, as long as it concerned the Kaide Corporation, his mother's unyielding attitude gave Fu Tianci the impression that she was only concerned about whether the Kaide Corporation would end up in Fu Tianci's hands, and that Fu Tianci didn't really matter.
Sometimes, Fu Tianci even felt that he was a card in his mother's hand, a tool.
Hearing Lin Nuan's light footsteps as she walked down the stairs, Fu Tianci rubbed his sore eyes with his other hand.
"Let's rinse it for a while more …" Lin Nuan placed the ointment on the countertop and stopped Fu Tianci. She took another bowl from the cupboard and placed it next to the rice cooker, but she didn't fill it with rice.
Fu Tianci stood there, rinsing his hands with water as he watched Lin Nuan busily bring the dishes to the table.
Fu Huai 'an changed into his home clothes and went downstairs.
Lin Nuan already knew that Fu Tianci was scalded when she was looking for the ointment earlier, so she didn't ask any further. She pulled out a chair and sat down, looking up at Lin Nuan, who was walking over with a tray of rice. There was gentleness in the depths of her eyes. "What a sumptuous meal …"
The corners of Lin Nuan's lips curled up. Because Fu Tianci was there, she smiled and didn't say anything.
This meal was prepared by Lin Nuan to curry favor with Fu Huai 'an, so of course it was sumptuous!
Fu Tianci's gaze swept over the bowl of rice that Lin Nuan passed to Fu Huai 'an. She had two bowls in her hands, one in front of Fu Huai' an and the other in front of herself. How could there be a share for him …
Fu Tianci pursed his lips and lowered his gaze to stare at the running water from the tap. His eyes suddenly felt hot and watery, and he pursed his lips, looking like he didn't care at all. It wasn't clear if he was doing it for himself or for others to see.
So what if there wasn't one for him? Did he lack a bite to eat? If Fu Huai 'an hadn't asked him to come down, he wouldn't have come down at all!
It wasn't as if he couldn't afford takeout because he didn't have money. Did he lack a bite from her?
Seeing Lin Nuan ladle a bowl of soup for Fu Huai 'an and another bowl, Fu Tianci took out his phone from his dirty jeans pocket in a fit of pique and tapped on the takeout interface. He ordered three boxes of crayfish in one go, as well as pizza and spaghetti. He refused to believe … that the food sold outside wasn't as delicious as what she made!
Fu Tianci had just put down his phone when Lin Nuan drew a few tissues and handed them to him. "Dry your hands and apply the ointment! Can you apply the ointment yourself? "
Fu Tianci lowered his head and took the tissues Lin Nuan handed him to wipe his hands. He then grabbed the ointment, not saying a word.
Lin Nuan entered the kitchen and ladled a bowl of rice for Fu Tianci. Seeing that Fu Tianci was applying the ointment, she placed the steaming bowl of rice opposite her. "Come and eat after you're done applying the ointment!"
Fu Tianci looked up and saw a pair of chopsticks on the table opposite Lin Nuan. The second bowl of soup that Lin Nuan had ladled was also placed opposite her. There wasn't a soup bowl in front of her.
The soup cooled down for a while, and the temperature was just right. Fu Tianci sat down opposite Lin Nuan and saw that there was very little rice in Lin Nuan's bowl …
"You're not drinking the soup?" Fu Tianci asked in a small voice.
"I'm trying to control my weight. It's easy to put on weight if I drink soup at night …" Lin Nuan explained.
Even though Lin Nuan wasn't a celebrity, she still had to appear on camera. It was true that she didn't look good if she was too fat.
Fu Tianci was suddenly in a good mood. He nodded and picked up the bowl of soup, gulping it down. It wasn't very hot, and the temperature was just right, just like his good mood.
"You're going to the set tomorrow. Let Uncle Hu send you …" Fu Huai 'an said to Lin Nuan after taking a sip of the soup.
Perhaps because Fu Tianci was there, Fu Huai 'an didn't talk dirty like he usually did when it was just the two of them.
"Let Uncle Hu send me to the broadcast building tomorrow. Ms. Fang sent me a message in the afternoon saying that she'll pick me up there …"
Fang Yan originally wanted to ask where Lin Nuan's home was and come to pick her up, but Lin Nuan didn't want others to know about her marriage with Fu Huai 'an, so she said to meet him at the entrance of the broadcast building.
Fu Tianci was going to record a show the next day. He thought about it and said, "I'm going to the broadcast building tomorrow too. Can you bring me along?"
Lin Nuan was about to nod when she heard Fu Huai 'an ask, "It's already come to this, and you still want to go?"
There was no questioning in his tone, nor was there any hint of contempt. It was just a mild question, as if he was asking about something that couldn't be more normal.
Fu Tianci gripped the spoon in his hand. He couldn't tell from Fu Huai 'an's tone, and he didn't know if Fu Huai' an was going to stop him. After a moment of silence, he said, "I don't want to be a Fu Tianci who can be manipulated by others. I have my own dreams too. I've reached an agreement with my mother. If I don't get first place this time, I'll never touch these things again! No matter what, I want to work hard for my own dreams for once, not just be the Fu Tianci that others expect! "
