 Chapter 44 - Breakfast

 Fu Wu Tian''s mother died when he was ten years old.

 His father, Fu Xiao, spent his whole life on the battlefield, where he experienced both triumph and defeat. And his mother was a strange woman. She was not a gentle woman. Her character was very bold. She was not a citizen of Da Ya. Rumor has it that Fu Xiao brought her back from Guan Wai, and then the two got married not long after.

 Fu Xiao was in Guan Wai all year round, and his wife stayed with him in Guan Wai. When Fu Xiao died, she was not reluctant to let him go. She only left behind a few words, and then she followed Fu Xiao.

 These were all things that An Zi Ran heard about before he married into the Fu pce.

 Nowadays, only Fu Wu Tian and Fu <emo wang ye, the two of them, were left behind to manage the Fu pce. The first day after marriage, one must honor the elder inws with a cup of tea. Since Fu Wu Tian''s parents were no longer alive, the only elder left to honor was Fu <emo wang ye.

 Passing through the corridor, the two arrived at the lobby.

 Fu <emo wang ye had already woken up. At the moment, he was sitting in the main seat and drinking the hot tea poured by a servant. In the empty lobby there was only him and the servant serving him.

 When he saw theming into the lobby, Fu <emo wang ye immediately put down the teacup and stared straight at them.

 Seeing that appearance, An Zi Ran''s instincts told him that Fu <emo wang ye was not in a clear state of mind. Fu Wu Tian must''ve deliberately taken advantage of the <emo wang ye''s condition to get him to agree to let his grandson take a man for his wife. If the <emo wang ye was not sick, An Zi Ran did not believe that he would agree.

 [The two knelt down before Fu <emo wang ye.]

 The servant came forward with a tray. An Zi Ran took the cup of tea from the tray and presented it to Fu <emo wang ye. "Grandfather, please drink tea."

 Fu <emo wang ye received the cup of tea with a smile. He took a sip and then said, "My granddaughter-inw is really good*." Then he stuffed a red envelope into An Zi Ran''s hands. It was thin and didn''t seem heavy. Later, An Zi Ran found that it was a ten thousand yuan bill. The generous amount surprised him.

 [*T/N: The grandfather uses the term 乖 guai, which means "obedient or well-behaved." It can sound a little patronizing in English, but in Chinese it''s meant as praise, usually from someone of higher seniority to someone of lower seniority. So I like to trante it as "good" sometimes.]

 An Zi Ran deliberately ignored the address of ''granddaughter-inw.'' Without a change in his expression he received the red envelope and then thanked him.

 Fu Wu Tian also honored his grandfather with a cup of tea, but the <emo wang ye was less enthusiastic about his own grandson.

 When they got up, An Zi Ran heard Fu <emo wang ye said to his grandson with a smug tone of voice, "Wu Tian ah, you didn''t waste the good intoxication wine that grandfather brought out. You really didn''t let your grandfather down. But I heard from the servants that you were doing it very intenselyst night. It is only the first day, you have to take care not to let your wife get too worn out."

 Intoxication wine?

 Could it be the wine that he drankst night?

 An Zi Ran immediately looked at Fu Wu Tian only to see him say, "Grandfather, I know what I am doing."

 Fu <emo wang ye was not reassured. "If you know what you are doing, then how could your wife be so loud yesterday? Don''t think that I don''t know, you must''ve been tossing your wife about excessivelyst night, otherwise, why would he get up sote in the morning. It must be your doing."

 Even without listening all the way through to the end, An Zi Ran already wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.

 When he recovered his sensesst night, he knew that Fu Wu Tian once again hoodwinked him. Although he had prepared himself psychologically, but these words were said by Fu <emo wang ye. Suddenly he felt ufortable all over. He had thought that the wine was prepared by Fu Wu Tian, but unexpectedly the real culprit turned out to be Fu <emo wang ye. He was mistaken.

 An Zi Ran found that Fu <emo wang ye only lost part of his memories on asion. But whether it was before his amnesia or after, his brain was still very good. Unexpectedly, he knew how to scheme for his grandson''s benefit. However, An Zi Ran did not know that it was precisely because of Fu <emo wang ye''s actions that it allowed him to escape the cmity of having to use his back door to consummate the marriage, otherwise, it wouldn''t have been as simple as mutual masturbation.

 [T/N: Meaning FWT was going to eat AZR up if he was in the right state of mind.]

 "Grandfather, I will take heed next time."

 Fu Wu Tian was iparably calm. The amnesiac <emo wang ye was extremely talkative.

 An Zi Ran nced at Fu Wu Tian. There would be no next time.

 Fu <emo wang ye did not notice the ''turbulent undercurrent'' between them and happily brought his grandson and granddaughter-inw to go eat breakfast. The Fu pce did not have a particrly luxuriant or extravagant breakfast. It was simr to what was eaten in the An family: congee, eggs, buns, and savory pancakes.

 An Zi Ran did not feel surprised. He could see the nature of the Fu pce in the food that they ate. Compared to those who liked to scheme with a belly full of deceit, they were more real and authentic.

 Fu Wu Tian ced a steamed bun and savory pancake into An Zi Ran''s bowl. The congee was fresh from the pot. Steamy fragrance wafted from the congee, instigating one''s appetite.

 An Zi Ran didn''t talk. Instead he passed a slice of savory pancake to the <emo wang ye who was watching them with a face full of smiles. After hesitating, he also gave Fu Wu Tian a slice. His expression was extremely reluctant, but he still received a thank you from Fu Wu Tian.

 [T/N: Even though they could just serve themselves, culturally, it is a sign of affection and care to put food in someone else''s bowl. It means you care that they are getting enough to eat or that you want to share a delicious dish with them.]

 A little bit of warmth, and then the three no longer talked.

 Fu Wu Tian was an adult, so his appetite wasparativelyrger. He ate three slices of savory pancakes and four steamed buns before stopping. Then he peeled two hard-boiled eggs and ced one in An Zi Ran''s bowl.

 "Now that you have my granddaughter-inw you are forgetting this grandfather."

 Fu <emo wang yeined.

 He even rhymed his words.

 An Zi Ran lifted his head and saw Fu <emo wang ye looking at them with hidden bitterness. In his bowl was an unpeeled egg. It seems that Fu Wu Tian had put it in there. After hearing theint, the corner of An Zi Ran''s mouth faintly twitched and he switched out his peeled egg with the grandfather''s unpeeled one.

 "My granddaughter-inw is still the best pared to my grandson)." Fu <emo wang ye immediately smiled.

 With iparable calmness, Fu Wu Tian picked up the egg in An Zi Ran''s bowl and peeled it for him, continuing to show favoritism to the very end.

 Fu <emo wang ye gnashed his teeth and ate the egg.

 Such a childish pair of grandfather and grandson!

 An Zi Ran reached this conclusion without words.

 Fu Wu Tian suddenly had a servant serve up a bowl of congee for An Zi Ran. This was the second bowl. Before that, he had already eaten a slice of savory pancake, a steamed bun, and an egg. He was already full, so he immediately stopped him, "No need."

 "You are in your growing stage, you should eat more." Fu Wu Tian was unmoving.

 An Zi Ran said, "I am losing weight."

 His weight had not been reduced to the extent that he was satisfied with, especially the baby fat still on his face. Every time he looked in the mirror, he felt particrly unsightly, so weight loss must continue.

 Fu Wu Tian turned to him, looked him up and down, and finally stopped on his face. "Wang fei, I like the meat on you, it feels good to touch, so there''s no need to lose weight."

 In response to those words, An Zi Ran decided to keep up his diet until the bitter end.
