MTL - Lay Flowers To Plato-Chapter 53 Fanwai · Adopted Son (1)
"My mother said that the two of us couldn't take good care of them if they were too young, and that if they were too big, they would lose a lot of fun in raising children. She said that one and a half years old is the best." Bai Tu looked up at Liang Xi and asked, "What do you think? "
Liang Xi smiled at him: "Listen to you."
Bo Tu rolled his eyes, filled in "1.5" in the age column, and asked, "Boy or girl? Also listen to me?"
He likes his son, but Liang Xi likes his daughter very much.
Liang Xi rubbed over from the side, rested his chin on his shoulder, and discussed, "If you don't, don't choose, it all depends on fate... It's just that you are pregnant and have a child, and we will do whatever you have."
Berto: "…"
In the end, I listened to Liang Xi and did not choose a gender.
Liang Xi sat down, read the completed form carefully, and said, "Hey, daughter-in-law, after filling this out, do you need to go through any other formalities?"
"That's the last item," Peto said, "and then they'll just have to wait until they bring the child."
The two of them leaned back in unison, leaning on the back of the sofa and breathing a sigh of relief.
They completed immigration three years ago and obtained a marriage certificate. After that, they submitted many adoption applications, but they were rejected every time for various reasons, such as immigration, same-sex marriage, marriage for too short time, work outside the country... until This time, their application was finally stamped with approval.
After the two of them left work excitedly and rushed over, it was a very tedious second review, physical examination, interview, and three review... After half a month of tossing, the process was finally completed and the final step was reached.
After submitting the final application form, I quickly got a reply: Neither of the two welfare institutions in the capital of R country has school-age children, and the children need to be sent from a welfare institution in another city, because they also have to go through necessary procedures such as medical examinations. Six to see the child.
Bo Tu can still wait a bit. The crew can shoot other people's scenes in Liang Xi's program first, but he can't wait. He told the TV station that he was in a hurry and suspended the recording of the two programs. The previously recorded episodes will be broadcast soon. Traditional variety shows can still have special replays, but reality shows can only be stopped. The chief director of the program group made seventeen phone calls a day to Liang Xi, so he was about to travel across the ocean to invite him in person.
In the end, Liang Xi could only go back to China to record the show, leaving Botu alone waiting to pick up the child.
Because of the jet lag, in the early morning of Saturday, Beijing time, Liang Xi set the alarm clock to wake himself up and called Bo Tu.
"Daughter-in-law," he asked expectantly, "Have you given birth to a boy or a girl?"
Berto: "...Male."
Liang Xi's hope of having a daughter was lost, but he was still very happy: "So is our son fat? Is he cute or not? Is he mixed race or Chinese?" ancestry.
Bo Tu's voice was very low: "It's mixed blood, and my mother is Chinese."
Liang Xi was very satisfied, and said a little strangely: "He fell asleep? Are you afraid of waking him up? Hey, take a picture of the baby and send it to me to see our son."
Bo Tu was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Liang Xi, the adoption center made a mistake, this child..."
Liang Xi suddenly became anxious: "Unhealthy? What's the problem? Is it serious?"
"No, he's very healthy," said Berto. "The adoption center made a mistake with a decimal point. This child is not one and a half years old...it's fifteen years old."
Liang Xi: "…"
The person in charge of the adoption center who approached Bo Tu was not proficient in English, and Bo Tu did not speak the R language. His translator was a Chinese student he found locally. He was very timid when dealing with government agencies, and he negotiated for a long time without results.
Bo Tu had a terrible headache listening to the person in charge murmured and didn't know what to say. Looking back, the fifteen-year-old mixed-race boy was sitting next to him with his head lowered, the index fingers of both hands twisted together, his face full of forbearance.
Bo Tu groaned in his heart, he was only anxious to solve this mistake, ignoring the boy's thoughts. Older orphans are difficult to accept by adoptive families, and it is very likely that this boy is not the first time that he has been sent back by adoptive families.
When Liang Xi rushed over again, as soon as he entered the hotel room, Bo Tu told him: "It's not their fault that the adoption center insisted, but they can give us a chance to re-submit the application, but we have to temporarily do this until the application is reviewed. Ian's dad."
Liang Xi: "…"
Ian is the mixed-race orphan who was sent by accident. He sat on the sofa and raised his head to look at Liang Xi.
Liang Xi felt that his eyes did not look like a fifteen-year-old child.
"His father is from R country, and his mother is Chinese," Berto dragged Liang Xi to the side and explained in a low voice, "Both of his parents died in an air crash three years ago, so he lived in a welfare institution for three years and has been I didn't wait for the chance to be adopted."
Liang Xi frowned and said, "Maybe the adoption center deliberately dropped the decimal point, just to send this boss to the two of us by mistake." He was very angry and cursed with swear words.
Ian glanced this way, expressionless on his face.
"Keep your voice down," Bo Tu said anxiously, "he can speak Chinese and understand what you're saying."
Liang Xi was even more anxious than him: "Then what should we do? We have all experienced the urination of the adoption center, and we have applied again and again. When this application is approved again, this kid may be an adult."
Bo Tu was also very tangled, but he also didn't want to hurt that innocent mixed-race boy.
Liang Xi wanted to say something, but Bo Tu thought his voice was too loud, so he pushed him into the bedroom of the suite, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, listen to me, I don't think it's better like this..."
Liang Xi immediately leaned over to kiss him, and stuck his tongue in too.
After a long time, the two separated. Bo Tu felt a little soft from the kiss, and forgot what he wanted to say just now. He rolled his eyes and stared at Liang Xi.
Liang Xi pinched his waist and said, "You are still staring at me? I know you are overflowing with sympathy again, do you want to keep him? I don't agree!"
Two days later, Liang Xi and Bo Tu returned to China with a little tail named Ian.
Liang Xi was very aggrieved. When he was chasing Bo Tu, he swore that he had to listen to Bo Tu. Now he really shot himself in the foot.
Bo Tu did not really accept such an old son, but just as Liang Xi said, when the application is approved, Ian may really be an adult. In country R law, sixteen is an adult. . They leave Ian now, and they only get along for this year, and it's all for social welfare.
Ian is very sensitive and sharp. He has obvious liking and closeness to Bo Tu, but he is not shy and even shows hostility to Liang Xi who doesn't want him.
This made Liang Xi hate him even more.
On the plane, Bo Tu asked for a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and just drank two sips, Ian watched eagerly, Bo Tu replaced his orange juice with his Coke.
I don't know if Liang Xi is over-hearted, he always felt that when Ian was drinking orange juice, he deliberately transferred the cup to the lip print that Bo Tu had just drank, and sipped the orange juice very satisfied, not like drinking... Patu kisses indirectly.
Liang Xi was furious, fifteen years old! Is the hair long!
After returning to China, Bai Tu basically didn't have time to stay at home and explained some things to Liang Xi, so he immediately rushed back to the crew.
The newly-baked adopted son and Liang Xi were left alone at home.
Oh, not alone, but also Ball and Alice.
Qiuqiu is a stupid dog who knows him personally. He became acquainted with Ian after a while. Fortunately, Alice controlled her usual high-coldness, otherwise Liang Xi would be **** off.
A lot of baby items that were carefully prepared before are all useless now, he hastily sorted them and stuffed them into the utility room.
Ian didn't take the initiative to talk to him. When it was time to eat, Ian went to the kitchen to fiddle around, brought out two bowls of spaghetti bolognese, ate one bowl without a word, and hid in the room.
Liang Xi secretly took a sip. This kid's craftsmanship is actually pretty good... No, it must be because the meat sauce that Bo Tu bought was so good.
The next day, Liang Xi took Ian to go to the international school to go through the admission procedures according to Bai Tu's instructions.
Liang Xi felt relieved, and went home happily after finishing the formalities.
More than half a month later, Bo Tu ended the filming and returned exhausted.
The empty, lonely and cold Liang Xi is like a pardon, and all kinds of dog legs are waiting for him.
Qiuqiu and Alice have mastered the special skills of pretending to be blind at the right time, so they can't be seen on the dog bed.
Bo Tu was tossed into a puddle of mud, but Liang Xi was full of food, and hugged his daughter-in-law and licked it everywhere. Bo Tu suddenly asked, "Did you go to school to see Ian? Is he used to it?"
Liang Xi almost forgot about this person, and when Bo Tu mentioned it, he felt a little guilty.
Seeing him like this, Bo Tu knew what was going on, so he didn't bother to say anything to him, and said, "Forget it, I'll go see him tomorrow."
Liang Xi was not happy, and after thinking about it, he said, "I'll go too."
"What are you doing?" Berto said, "You don't like him."
Liang Xi thought to himself that he had to look at him if he didn't like it.
When I went to school the next day, Ian saw their eyes lit up, ran over with joy, and shouted in the special voice of a boy in the voice-changing period, "Brother Bo Tu."
Liang Xi immediately became angry and rushed to the crown, brother, your mother is forcing, shouldn't it be called father? !
Bo Tu didn't take it seriously. If Ian really called his father, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it. He very gently asked whether it was difficult to get used to the curriculum at school or not.
When Ian got along with Bo Tu, he was well-behaved and obedient, which was completely different from his precocious and slightly gloomy appearance when facing Liang Xi.
Liang Xi felt that Bai Tu was deceived, and hated this stinky boy even more. He glared at Ian fiercely, full of warning.
Ian narrowed his eyes, suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Botu, can I go home this weekend?"
Liang Xi: "…"
It was naturally impossible for Bo Tu to refuse. He felt that since he had adopted this boy by accident, he and Liang Xi should certainly fulfill their responsibilities as guardians before Ian became an adult.
Leaving the school, Liang Xi drove with a stomach full of anger. Bo Tu didn't understand yet, thinking that he was still brooding about Ian being wrongly assigned to them, and coaxed him softly all the way.
When he got home, Bai Tu unbuckled his seat belt to get out of the car, but the door was locked.
In the dark garage, Liang Xi's eyes lit up: "Daughter-in-law, are you coming to the car?"
I did it too many times yesterday, but Bai Tu didn't want to do it too much, but after being teased by Liang Xi for a long time, he slowly became interested.
At the moment of passion, Liang Xi threatened him for the first time while sharpening his sensitive points: "Would you like it? Call me brother Liang Xi if you want! Call me!"
