Finding a Substitute Father

Time is running again, everything that was frozen and frozen is now back as before. The truck started moving again, the confused driver glanced at Xena and then started the car again. People crossing were seen moving about and a small child, named Felix, was now moving. His eyes still looked glassy.

"Little brother, I'm sorry auntie. I didn't know that your goal was to help me."

Xena held Felix's hand. Check the wound caused by the urn earlier. But after taking a closer look, there was no blood and the wound had disappeared.

"Your wound?"

Felix's eyes are very clear, his gaze is very natural and innocent like an ordinary child. Even though Xena had been scolded earlier, she was very forgiving and seemed to be generous.

The little boy's lips lifted slightly. "I'm also sorry for pushing her down earlier. I shouldn't have pushed her too hard."

Xena caught a glimpse of Felix's face. Then asked if he remembered the jar that had been broken. However, Felix said he didn't know.

"What's your name?" Xena pretended not to know the name of the child.

"Just call me Felix, Auntie," answered the little boy with a smile.

"It turns out that the name is the same as the system mentioned earlier." Xena muttered inwardly, while continuing to look in detail at the child in front of her.

"His clothes are very shabby and dirty. His face and hair are very dirty. He looks like a homeless child." Xena is still thinking.

"Felix where is your house?"

No answer. The little boy shook his head slowly like a dazed person. Xena doesn't have the heart and feels guilty. Xena saw a restaurant not far from where she was standing. Remembering the system's order to make him a child, he wanted to take him out to eat and investigate Felix's origins first.

"Okay, forget it. As an apology, Aunt, will invite you to eat. You must be hungry," Xena said while crouching parallel to Felix's body.

Felix's eyes twinkled. He immediately nodded in agreement and took Xena's hand. Hands so warm, he just felt them again.

On the way, Xena asked many questions about Felix's origins. But of the many questions, Felix answered with a shake of his head. That kid can't be ignorant of his origins, unless he has amnesia, Xena thought to herself.

"Sit down, what would you like to order?" asked Xena after holding out the menu table.

"Just compare it with Auntie."

"Okay, you must like fried chicken and french fries. I'll order some for you."

Xena walked over to the counter. After five minutes of waiting, the food was ready and he put it on the table. The two of them immediately devoured it, it was seen that Felix really enjoyed Xena's fried chicken.

"So you don't remember anything?"

Felix nodded. He answered while drinking a red soda. "Thank you, Aunt for treating me to a meal. The food is very good."

"It's impossible, right, if you're a child who came straight down from the sky?" Xena weighed again. This time it was more ridiculous and made Felix stunned for a moment.

"No, Auntie is very wrong."

"Then be my son now!" Xena said with a serious face.

At first Felix had doubts. He seemed to be reading Xena's good intentions from her sincere facial expression. After a few seconds of thinking, Felix smiled and replied quickly, "Well I will. I won't refuse to have a beautiful and kind mother like Auntie."

Xena blushed, this was the first time a child had complimented her on being beautiful. Even though it is very clear, Xena is an ordinary woman. Even very far below standard. "Felix, it turns out you really are good at complimenting. Little children never lie," he said while stroking the top of Felix's head, "You can order more food if you're still hungry."

Felix shook his head again. "No, Auntie. I've had enough. Um..., Mommy," replied Felix, "Can I call you... Mommy?"

Because Xena has agreed to become Felix's surrogate mother. She also agreed that Felix called her 'mama'. Besides, he was very happy to have a good son like Felix.

Xena was still watching Felix who was eating french fries. He himself had no appetite and did not continue to eat. Just as he was dazed, the semicolon suddenly flashed again. Apparently there is a notification from the system.

"Today had to get a surrogate father for Felix. Otherwise, you will lose all the hair and fur on your body."

"What? That fast?" Xena shouted until everyone in the restaurant turned to look at her.

"As a first warning for stalling for time, the system wipes off one of your eyebrows."

Xena hurriedly took the glass. It was true what the system said, one eyebrow had disappeared automatically.

"No, this is completely crazy!" Xena thought. As fast as lightning, he immediately brushed up one missing eyebrow with an eyebrow pencil, "then what's the prize if I manage to get a father for Felix?"

"The system will reward you with a pill, which can make your buttocks bigger and firmer after eating it."

"Hah?" Xena was stunned. Then feel the buttocks are flat and not contained. Getting the ideal body shape is his dream so far. Xena finally agrees and will carry out the next mission.

"It's not too difficult, I will order my friends to be selected to be Felix's surrogate father."

Xena said to herself. In front of him he still saw Felix finish the potatoes. Xena opened her cell phone and dialed two of her boyfriend's contact names.

***

No half an hour one of Xena's friend candidates came. The two men contacted were Xena's old school friends. Andra is a toy seller, Xena is sure that the man will be happy with small children and wants to be a surrogate father. While Bimo is a children's tutor, Xena is sure that she likes Felix too.

"Introduce his name Uncle Andra, he's a good friend of Mama."

Xena introduces Andra, and vice versa. When they first met, Andra asked Xena a lot about why she suddenly had a child and told him to be a surrogate father as soon as he arrived.

"Xena, I'm still too young and don't have the agility to be a father yet," Andra said unsure. However, after Xena explained that this was just a formality and was going to give him money, Andra couldn't help but agree and accept Felix's invitation to play on the playground.

"Help me, my feet are stuck in the net, Uncle," said Felix asking for help to Andra, when Xena was not around.

"Don't be spoiled. Just take your feet out yourself!" Xena's boyfriend snapped curtly.

Half an hour later Xena came. Playtime is up. "Thank you, Andra. You have accompanied my child," said Xena, then spoke again to Felix, "Say thank you to Uncle Andra, he will be your father later."

Felix complied and said thank you. However, Andra hastily said goodbye to go home. On second thought, he no longer wanted to accept Xena's request to be a surrogate father, seeing how dirty Felix looked.

"Sorry, I can't Xena. I'm going home."

Xena was a little disappointed when her friend refused. The system also said that the man just now was not suitable. Then Xena contacted another friend, deciding to meet the man at the ice cream shop.

"Felix, introduce this friend of yours. Just call Uncle Bimo, he is an elementary school tutor," Xena said after Bimo arrived. At that time, Bimo brought a doll and gave it to Felix.

Felix silently watched Bimo. First impression, Felix doesn't like dolls. Next, as usual, Xena brought the two of them closer to the ice cream shop, ordering three ice creams, for her, Felix and Bimo. After being left alone, it turns out that Bimo is the same as Andra. Not very nice to Felix.

"Xena, I have an additional tutoring schedule. Sorry, the money you promised as a surrogate father is not worth my job later. I'm quitting."

"Okay, thank you, Bimo."

Xena took a deep breath. Then go again lead Felix out. He didn't expect that the two of them refused, even though he had already lured them money.

At the same time, the system screen appeared. Shows the progress notification of the two candidates that Xena brought earlier.

"Felix doesn't like it. Both candidates are not suitable to be Felix's surrogate father."

After reading it, Xena's head suddenly dizzy. Where else do you want to find a replacement father for Felix? The average man will see his mother's physique first. As for Xena, she is very cupu and ugly. His skin is dull and dry. Moreover, her face, full of pimples and scars.

"We'd better go home. Mom will think about it again at home," Xena said while leading Felix to walk out of the mall.

Felix nodded and complied. He was very happy that Xena would find him a surrogate father. He will have a complete family.

Today, the mall is very lively. The entrance looks full with visitors who want to enter. Because there are visitors who walk through quickly, making their hands loose. The two walked separately out of the mall door.

Not far from where Felix was walking, you could see several tall and straight men walking very quickly inside. They didn't look around until they bumped into Felix's body, accidentally stepping on his feet and hands alternately.

"Ah, it hurts!" shouted Felix.

Everyone pretended not to see as Felix was in pain holding his hands and feet. In fact, back busy with their own affairs, including the few people who bumped into him earlier. However, not with a man in a black suit combined with maroon. The man looked at Felix, then walked towards him. "Are you hurt?"

Meanwhile, Xena, who was already in front of the mall, realized that she had lost Felix and tried to find him. He walked slowly and went back inside. Xena was immediately shocked when she saw Felix talking to a man she seemed to know.

"CEO Max? Is that really him?"

Xena's eyes almost went wide. After looking closely, it turns out that the man who was talking to Felix is a perfectionist CEO at his place of work.

While Xena was in shock, the system notification sounded again. The grid screen appeared before him again.

[Felix likes that guy. You should approach him.]
