Chapter 1494: Chapter 579: Cats Are Fascinated by Human Babies! Plans for a Food Documentary!

"If you’re not busy this afternoon, brother-in-law, we can go to the company and have a talk."

Lin Xu picked up a bite of food, very interested in Luo Jiayao’s proposal to cooperate. Even though it was only the documentary channel and the ratings didn’t seem that high, it was still CCTV after all.

And it was the TV media resource that Joyful Media had lost; if they did a food program, it would definitely become a highlight of the channel.

But for the specifics, his sister-in-law and Zeng Xiaoqi still needed to talk to Luo Jiayao, so he extended an invitation to this cousin-in-law, hoping he could make a trip to Joyful Media’s office.

As long as they reached an agreement, Lin Xu was fine with whatever type of food show they ended up making.

Hearing this, Luo Jiayao said:

"I’ll be free once I drop your sister and the kids at home this afternoon. Send me the company address, I’ll drive over then."

Lin Xu sent it from his phone, and at the same time messaged Chen Yan, briefly explaining what was going on.

Near the International Trade building.

Chen Yan had just finished eating barbecue and was about to go sing karaoke with Zeng Xiaoqi, Dou Wenjing, and Chen Yuanyuan, but when she saw the message, she immediately canceled the plan and quickly replied to Lin Xu:

"We’ll head to the office right away and wait for you."

Well, since business was coming to them, and it was a CCTV food show, this kind of opportunity couldn’t be missed.

And it was a good chance to vent some anger on little Qiqi’s behalf. Just taking "Taste of the World" off the air wasn’t enough—ideally those few guys who were so good at amateurs bossing around professionals would get downgraded and disciplined.

After messaging his sister-in-law, Lin Xu went back to eating.

He held a bowl of rice, used a small spoon to scoop up a big wobbly piece of fish into the bowl, then ladled some thick, glossy red sauce from the plate over the fish.

Then he switched to chopsticks, picked out the fish bones, and mixed the fish and sauce together with the rice.

He scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth; a wonderful sensation immediately exploded in his mouth.

The fish was savory with a little appetizing sweet-and-sour note, and incredibly tender, almost tofu-like in texture. Combined with the rice, which was at just the right firmness, it was a perfect match.

"This fish really goes great with rice, it’s so satisfying to eat."

"Yeah, Lin’s cooking skills are just flawless."

"Now whenever I eat something sweet, I think of the rice cake Lin wants to make in the steamer. Hope he finishes perfecting it soon so we can eat it at home."

Hearing Wenqing say that, Shen Jiayue couldn’t help asking:

"Aren’t you afraid you’ll eat yourself into a little fatty while you’re on maternity leave?"

"No way, I use up a lot of energy, and I do postpartum recovery exercises every day. They’re light, but they still burn fat... Yueyue, you need to learn from me later. With the kind of food you have at home, don’t end up putting on weight straight up to 75 kilos during your confinement."

Shen Jiayue: ????????

What do you mean, 75 kilos!

Am I that kind of glutton?

But thinking of Lin Baobao’s cooking, hitting 75 kilos didn’t actually sound that hard...

Shen Jiayue said:

"We’ll talk about it when the time comes. We’re not in a hurry to have kids."

I’m still a baobao myself, how could I have a kid so soon? And it’s not like we don’t have one—we’ve got little Dundun, our baby... Eh? Where did Dundun go?

Just when they started eating, Dundun had been on the open space next to the dining room, lapping up fish soup.

Now it was nowhere to be seen. Was there anything more attractive than good food to a little cat?

Shen Jiayue finished the rice in her bowl; seeing everyone still eating, she got up and left the dining room, planning to go look for Dundun.

Her grandma’s front and back yards were pretty big; she didn’t want the little guy to run off and get lost.

But she had just stepped out when she saw Dundun sneaking around by the bedroom door. She strode over and realized Dundun was secretly observing the little baby sleeping on the bed.

"What is it, baobei? Want a little brother or sister?"

Seeing Shen Jiayue come over, Dundun finally got a bit bolder. It jumped up onto the nightstand and observed the human infant who was sound asleep at close range.

Shen Jiayue also walked up and, looking at the carved-jade little cutie, couldn’t help imagining her own child.

Hmph, once we have a baby, if it’s a boy he’s definitely going to be as handsome as Lin Baobao, and if it’s a girl, I just hope she won’t be as mischievous as me.

Girls should still be a bit well-behaved and sensible.

"Baobei, the little sister is sleeping, let’s go out for now, don’t wake her up."

With such a tiny baby, Shen Jiayue didn’t dare let Dundun touch her; she herself didn’t even dare touch, better to keep some distance. If this little cutie turned out to be allergic to cat fur, it would be dangerous.

Shen Jiayue carried Dundun out of the bedroom.

In the yard, she glanced at the rockery and the fountain that was already frozen over.

Dundun thought the ice was pretty fun, so it deliberately jumped onto it, used its paw pads to feel the temperature of the ice, then jumped down and went to bask in the sun.

Cats sense temperature through their paw pads, so it’s easy for them to mislead themselves.

For example, when their paw pads feel cold, they think their whole body is cold and start desperately trying to warm up.

But when it’s hot, as long as the paw pads don’t feel the heat, even if the fur on their body is already smoking from being too close to a fire, they won’t know to move away.

Almost every winter, there are cats whose fur gets singed yellow from trying to keep warm, and sometimes they even trend on social media, becoming a nationwide joke.

From this perspective, cats are actually more suited for underfloor heating.

A warm floor feels wonderful under their paws, and it puts cats in a very good mood.

Dundun sunbathed for a while, then mischievously jumped up into a jujube tree in the yard, sharpening its claws, climbing, exploring... having a great time.
