Chapter 1819: Fu Bao's Sense of Smell Is Extraordinary

The matter was settled quickly.

After leaving the First Machinery Department, Chuxue turned directly to Quanjude to buy a roasted duck before heading home.

As soon as she reached the outer gate, she heard Lebao's voice: "It's my turn now."

Then came Song Sanrui's voice: "My little ancestor, take it slow, don't fall."

After that, Auntie Wei's laughter rang out: "If you ask me, it would be better if Lebao and Kangbao swapped personalities; Lebao is too lively, while Kangbao is too quiet."

Upon entering, Chuxue saw Lebao climbing onto Zhui Feng, which explained why Auntie Wei had said that.

However, as soon as Lebao saw Chuxue entering, he stopped climbing on the dog: "Mom, you're back?"

Saying this, he climbed down from the dog and ran straight toward Chuxue.

Chuxue quickly placed the items in her hands into the basket of the bicycle parked nearby, walked forward a bit, then squatted down to catch this human-shaped cannonball.

However, when Lebao ran close, he remembered what his father had said and feared hurting his mother, so he slowed his pace first, only throwing himself into Chuxue's arms once he reached her.

Chuxue kissed Lebao's forehead: "Did Lebao miss Mom?"

Lebao didn't answer verbally but kissed Chuxue's face directly: "I missed Mom."

Fu Bao and Kangbao also ran over. Chuxue reached out and pulled them both into her arms. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Fu Bao sniffing around: "Mom, what did you bring back? It smells so good."

Chuxue had worried the food would get cold, so she asked them to wrap it in an extra layer of oil paper, yet Fu Bao still smelled it.

Most importantly, they were still some distance away. Suddenly, he thought that Lebao had great strength and memory, and Kangbao had excellent hearing; could it be that Fu Bao had an extraordinary sense of smell?

So he called Song Sanrui, had him prepare some items, and placed them outside the main gate: "Fu Bao, shall we play a game? If you answer correctly, come, after Mom finishes her exams, I'll take you to visit Cousin Junjun."

Previously, the three little ones had been constantly talking about finding Cousin Junjun from Auntie's house, but she hadn't had time, so she kept saying she would take them when she had time.

Hearing that they could find Cousin Junjun, Fu Bao clapped his hands and jumped with joy: "Okay, play a game, go find Cousin Junjun to play."

Seeing that Song Sanrui had placed the items as she requested, Chuxue finally spoke: "Fu Bao, take a sniff and see what scent you can detect."

Fu Bao smiled: "Mom, this can't stump me."

He sniffed with his little nose: "A sour smell."

He looked at Song Sanrui at the gate, saw him nod slightly, and said: "Change it."

Song Sanrui capped the vinegar bottle and replaced it with Auntie Wei's stir-fried chili sauce.

Seeing him place it properly, Chuxue continued asking: "Now, what scent do you smell?"

Fu Bao wanted to take a few steps forward, but Chuxue held him back: "You can only smell from here. Feel it carefully. It's okay if you get it wrong; Mom is just playing a game with you."

What Chuxue didn't expect was that both Fu Bao and Kangbao spoke up at the same time: "It's Auntie Wei's stir-fried chili sauce / It's that red, spicy one."

Chuxue turned to look at Kangbao, who was lying on her back: "You smelled it too?"

Kangbao reached out and hugged Chuxue's neck: "Mm, I can smell it."

They were both correct, but whether their sense of smell was truly extraordinary would require testing in a professional setting. It seemed she would have to tell Fu Yan Cheng later and ask if there was a place for professional smell testing.

Seeing Mom smile, Fu Bao asked: "Mom, did we answer correctly?"

Seeing him keep glancing toward the kitchen, Chuxue laughed: "Alright, no more playing. Let's wash our hands and eat."

However, judging by Fu Bao's performance just now, his sense of smell was likely truly extraordinary.

Just now, when she asked Brother Song to take the roasted duck back to the kitchen, she deliberately didn't let Fu Bao see it.
