After breakfast, Jiang Xu went to work in the study as usual. Since Shen Fangyu came, Jiang Xu's study and desk have been divided into two, becoming an office for two people.

But when he finished his work, Shen Fangyu didn't come over.

Jiang Xu looked at his watch and found that it was already twelve o'clock, so he frowned slightly.

Shen Fangyu's workaholic traits are not inferior to him in the slightest. As long as he is at home, except when sleeping, Shen Fangyu usually never does not appear in the study for such a long time.

He pushed open the door to see what Shen Fangyu was doing all morning, and then he saw the messy kitchen and Shen Fangyu holding a plate of unidentified black objects.

Jiang Xu: "..."

He never expected Shen Fangyu to be so persistent.

"You came out?" Shen Fangyu said: "It's just in time, I was going to call you." He put down the plate, pointed to the plate, "Just out of the pot, look at my masterpiece."

He gave Jiang Xu a pair of chopsticks, his face was full of pride, and he almost wrote the words "quick praise me" on his face.

Jiang Xu really didn't know where Shen Fangyu's self-confidence came from, but he could call this kind of thing a masterpiece without changing his face or beating his heart.

Last time when Shen Fangyu said that the color of the words "Hell Bar" was pretty, Jiang Xu felt that Shen Fangyu might just have a problem with aesthetics, but now, he quite doubted whether there was something wrong with Shen Fangyu's eyes.

"What is this?" He finally couldn't help asking, "Bomb?"

"Can't you tell?" Shen Fangyu said, "Tiger skin green peppers."

People's tigers have black stripes on their bodies, the skin of African tigers can't be so uniformly black...

Jiang Xu took a deep breath and planned to order takeaway for lunch.

Shen Fangyu didn't have the slightest sense of being disliked for his culinary skills. He put a piece of tiger skin green pepper into Jiang Xu's bowl, "The amount of seasoning and water is all accurately measured according to the recipe on the Internet, accurate to two decimal places, The taste should be fine."

The ability to control the heat is too poor, even if it is accurate to a hundred decimal places, it may not be able to recover.

"Try it?" Shen Fangyu looked at him expectantly.

Jiang Xu glanced suspiciously at the black lump in the bowl, and said cautiously, "You eat first."

"Eat and eat."

Hearing this, Shen Fangyu took a piece, took a big bite, savored it seriously for a while, and then the smile slowly froze on his face.

Jiang Xu watched helplessly as the confidence on his face gradually disappeared, even a little frightened.

Fortunately, there is a problem with the eyes, but not the tongue.

Jiang Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is this?" Shen Fangyu looked at the half-bitten tiger-skin green pepper in disbelief, and repeated Jiang Xu's question.

"Tiger skin green pepper," Jiang Xu added slowly after watching his expression, "You said it yourself."

Shen Fangyu was a little silent. He spat out the contents of his mouth onto a tissue, poured the tiger skin and green peppers from Jiang Xu's bowl back to the plate, and finally sent the entire plate of unknown objects into the trash can.

"It's too unpalatable," Shen Fangyu squatted in front of the trash can, looking rather depressed, "It's unscientific. When I was in school, I always got full marks in the experimental class."

"Concentrated sulfuric acid dehydration and carbonization experiment?" Jiang Xu taunted him casually, only to find that Shen Fangyu hadn't spoken to him, and the man who had been in high spirits just now was staring at the trash can, motionless, as if he had received a huge blow.

Jiang Xu suddenly felt a little guilty.

Is he talking too much?

The harsh words that were originally on his lips froze and swallowed back. He walked to Shen Fangyu's side, tapped his shoulder, racked his brains to find words of comfort, and said, "Actually..."

"Jiang Xu, wait for me." Shen Fangyu stood up abruptly, "I'll do it again."

"..." Jiang Xu took a step back in fright, and asked with question marks all over his face, "What did you say?"

"Wait a minute, I'll do it again," Shen Fangyu repeated, as he did countless times in the laboratory, and said with a slight frown: "I may know where the problem is."

Sure enough, Shen Fangyu didn't deserve sympathy.

Jiang Xu glanced at the clock and felt his stomach that didn't want to wait very much. The unbearable feeling that was not much disappeared in an instant, and the harsh words that were swallowed back finally came out smoothly, "I want to live more several years."

"Can-"

"Your daughter also wants to live a few more years." Jiang Xu interrupted his struggle expressionlessly.

Shen Fangyu: "..."

I don't know if it was Jiang Xu's words that stimulated Shen Fangyu, or if he finally realized that he really didn't have much talent for cooking. He let out a long sigh and said to Jiang Xu, "Let's go out to eat."

The two found a normal restaurant in a shopping mall near their home, and quickly finished their lunch. Jiang Xu's eyes and mind hurt by the tiger skin and green pepper finally got a little relief.

"Is it delicious?" Shen Fangyu looked aggrievedly at the plates and bowls that Jiang Xu had emptied.

Jiang Xu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Shen Fangyu stood up abruptly, Jiang Xu stretched out his hand to grab him, and said cautiously, "What are you going to do?"

"Learn to cook in the back kitchen."

"..." Jiang Xu stood up directly and dragged him out of the restaurant without any refutation, and said seriously: "Shen Fangyu, you really don't have to force things without talent."

It's fine to blow up his kitchen, but if it blows up the back kitchen of his restaurant... Jiang Xu doesn't want to be on social news.

"Jiang Xu," Shen Fangyu said unconvinced, "Do you believe it or not? Sooner or later, I will make your favorite dish, the kind that you can think of me when you hear the name of the dish."

Jiang Xu pointed to the home furnishing store next door that was on sale, "I suggest you go and buy a good pillow."

Dreams have everything.

Shen Fangyu looked along his hand, his eyes suddenly froze, and after a while, his eyes lit up, "Look, Jiang Xu." Shen Fangyu pointed to the store next to the furniture store, with a somewhat pleasant expression on his face.

Jiang Xu looked over in confusion, and suddenly found that the two of them had walked in front of a baby products store at some point.

This store should be newly opened. Various flower baskets are placed outside the store, and there are many salesmen who are promoting and shouting. Through the glass window, you can see all kinds of cute toys and pocket clothes inside. It's like a Lilliputian world.

Shen Fangyu asked Jiang Xu, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Jiang Xu has never visited such a store.

It stands to reason that they have already decided to have a child, so it's okay to go to this kind of store, but Jiang Xu just feels a little subtle in his heart, especially now that he is accompanied by another person.

However, Shen Fangyu, who was very nervous, obviously didn't notice his subtle thoughts. After he stopped for a moment, the enthusiastic salesperson came up to him and began to introduce him. Shen Fangyu even chatted with her about various promotional activities of the new store.

Jiang Xu glanced at Shen Fangyu who was talking eloquently, and the salesperson quickly brought Jiang Xu into the topic: "Are you two together?"

Shen Fangyu nodded.

"That's just right, buy two of the same product for 12% off," the salesperson said with a smile: "There are a lot of mothers who come together to buy things for their children. This is the first time I see two fathers shopping together. If you like something, you can buy one for each person, and you can get a discount, and you children will be happy when playing together, and you won’t be afraid to grab the toy.”

She took it for granted that Jiang Xu and Shen Fangyu were shopping for their children, just like many mothers who went shopping together, they happened to get together.

Shen Fangyu also recognized it, and explained with a smile: "We bought it for the same child."

"Oh, I misunderstood," the salesperson hurriedly said, "Then who are you two buying for?" She saw that they both looked quite young, "Is it a relative's child or a younger sibling?" After the second and third children were released, There are also many families who have children after they have grown-up children.

"My daughter." The two said in unison.

The salesman froze for a moment, realizing that the plot might be a little fantasy, she bit her tongue with difficulty before swallowing the nonsense that almost blurted out: Are your two daughters the same person?

She looked at the two well-dressed and slender men who looked like social elites at first glance, and remembered the heroine in a certain Qiong Yao drama who held the hands of the two men and said, "You are all the fathers of the children". fell silent.

I don't know what kind of woman can make such two men scramble to become the father of her child.

Shen Fangyu was ignorant of her thoughts, all his attention was on Jiang Xu at the moment, and the new battlefield had obviously allowed him to temporarily come out of the frustration of failing to cook.

"If you don't go in, then I'll go in and have a look." Shen Fangyu's eyes lit up with high fighting spirit again: "After all, I am the father who loves her the most."

Really good, rolled up again.

Jiang Xu could even imagine Shen Fangyu hugging the child and asking "Do you like this father more or that father?"

Depend on.

Why this child is his and Shen Fangyu's child.

Jiang Xu said "impossible" expressionlessly, then walked into the store without looking back, and walked towards the most expensive stroller.

He is the father who loves his daughter the most. In this regard, he is absolutely impossible to lose to Shen Fangyu.

The salesman saw that Jiang Xu, who had exhausted all her consumerist rhetoric and failed to persuade her to enter the store, actually provoked Shen Fangyu to start retaliatory consumption with just a few words. He was stunned and sighed wildly.

I don't know if it's the misfortune of the family, or the luck of the family...

The two expectant fathers, who were vying to be fathers, competed to buy things, so the purchasing power didn't require her to sell any more, and she only needed to explain a few words occasionally.

Very good, the salesman thinks, as long as they are willing to spend money to buy things, as long as they are happy if their heads are green or not.

Jiang Xu and Shen Fangyu, who were frantically stuffing things into the shopping basket, had no idea of ​​the sales idea, and were still comparing who is the father who loves children more.

In the first round, Shen Fangyu picked and picked in front of the Barbie doll shelves, and finally picked out the finalists, and put them into the shopping cart to make their debut. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Xu took a bunch of educational toys, such as building blocks nine Lianhuan, Rubik's Cube Kong Mingsuo, filled half a shopping cart in minutes.

In the second round, Shen Fangyu stuffed a set of exquisite princess castles into the shopping cart, and when he looked up, he bumped into Jiang Xu and took a huge box of puzzles.

In the third round, before Shen Fangyu could make a move, he saw Jiang Xu's pile of early education books that Jiang Xu took down from the shelf.

Shen Fangyu, who was full of black lines, finally couldn't take it anymore, and asked in confusion, "Why are you buying so many books?"

"Promote intellectual development," Jiang Xu said, "so as not to grow up like you in the future."

"Hey, what's wrong with my intelligence?" Shen Fangyu retorted: "I never watched early childhood education when I was a child, and it's like learning while playing."

"There are also these educational toys." Shen Fangyu picked up the box of puzzles, pointed to the huge number "1000" on it and said to Jiang Xu: "A thousand-piece puzzle, do you want your daughter to cry?"

He put those books back again, "No child likes these, and if you don't put yourself in the other's place, I really love her."

Jiang Xu rolled his eyes at him, "You're called doting." After speaking, he took more books and put them into the shopping cart without any objection.

When the two of them finally calmed down from the dizzying competitive atmosphere, the shopping cart was already filled with all kinds of toys and books. Shen Fangyu even pushed an electric car for a five-year-old child, with gaudy toys hanging on it. Little pink bell.

…

After a moment of silence, Shen Fangyu silently put the electric car back under Jiang Xu's gaze.

When he came back, Jiang Xu picked and picked in the shopping basket again, and stuffed some toys that seemed to be potential safety hazards back to Shen Fangyu. For one reason, the toy he picked out was useless, as if if his daughter played with the toy today, she would have to see Hades tomorrow.

In the end, Shen Fangyu himself fell into doubt. When he looked at those toys, he also began to feel apprehensive. Seeing Jiang Xu's familiarity with so many treasures, he suspected that Jiang Xu was not an obstetrician, but a pediatrician.

After visiting the toy section, the two of them went to the clothing section to take a look.

Children's clothes are small in size and neatly hung on the shelves. They look very cute, and the styles are also very rich. It is not inferior to adult clothing stores. There are all kinds of designs, and various cartoon character prints are common.

Jiang Xu walked to the plainest part, looked at the fabric composition list word by word like studying an academic paper, and asked the salesman next to him carefully.

He was unsmiling, frowning slightly, and his attitude was extremely serious. The demeanor around him gave the salesman an inexplicable illusion that he was going through a graduation defense again, so that after answering his questions tremblingly, his back was so nervous that he was sweating.

In the end, Jiang Xu finally chose a few sets of clothes with extremely safe ingredients and styles that would never strangle the baby. When he was about to put them into the shopping cart, Shen Fangyu suddenly threw a bunch of colorful little clothes into it. The color is matched with complicated decorations, like the new dress of the princess in the cartoon.

He also commented on the clothes in Jiang Xu's hands seriously, "Don't buy this kind, it's so dirty, it doesn't look good at all. Little girls love beauty, don't make a bunch of white vests and jumpsuits, just like that. Like an old man."

Jiang Xu frowned and took out the pile of small skirts from the shopping cart, and stuffed them back into Shen Fangyu's hands, "It's a safety hazard."

Those beautiful skirts are either small diamonds or lace. Children's skin is so tender, and they will be allergic if they are not careful. Clothes with too many colors cannot guarantee that they will not fade, and clothes with too much dye are not good for children's skin.

"Toys are not allowed to be bought, and beautiful clothes are not allowed to be bought."

Shen Fangyu pointed to the thick stack of early education books in the shopping basket, "I bought so many books before I was born. If she is born, you still have to let her be able to recognize a thousand characters at the age of three, memorize Tang poetry at the age of four, and learn to smile at the age of five." Points, skip a grade to go to Qingbei at the age of six?" He said, "If I were your daughter, I wouldn't even want to be born."

Jiang Xu's education attitude is obviously not to lose at the starting line. He has never been worse than others in his studies, so it is naturally impossible for his children to idle around and make jokes all day long.

However, Shen Fangyu, who was also the number one scholar in science in City B that year, was completely opposite to him.

Under the evaluation system of ordinary people, he has already reached the pinnacle of his studies. He has passed the university with the highest admission score in the domestic college entrance examination, and he has also obtained a doctoral degree.

He is not like many adults who hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes. He pins his unfulfilled wishes on his children. He has seen the scenery at the top, so he thinks that children don't have to be so good, just live a more relaxed life.

With a huge disagreement ahead, Shen Fangyu suggested: "Just buy them separately, each one of them, and see who she likes as a gift."

"Don't even think about it." Jiang Xu heard Shen Fangyu's attitude towards raising children from Shen Fangyu's remarks, and said with a serious face, "I warn you, don't try to spoil your children blindly in the future."

"Anyway, I'm raising the child," Shen Fangyu said, "You can't control it."

Jiang Xu gave him a complicated look, then slowed down and asked, "When did I say I'll let you raise it alone?"
