C - Scanf not blocking for named pipe / FIFO - c

Question

Usually when a program call a scanf it waits until something is available in stdin to read from it. I am currently making a fifo for input and another one for output that will be used by another process to write an read from a background proccess. But, the background process seem not to wait for any scanf in it, does anyone know why?
Here is the code:
Background:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
int main()
{
int out, in, err;
char *cFifo = "/tmp/out";
char *cInFifo = "/tmp/in";
mkfifo(cFifo, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR);
mkfifo(cInFifo, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR);
out = open(cFifo, O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_NONBLOCK);
in = open(cInFifo, O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_NONBLOCK);
dup2(out, STDOUT_FILENO);
dup2(out, STDERR_FILENO);
dup2(in, STDIN_FILENO);
scanf("%*c");
while(1)
{
scanf("%*c");
printf("Hello\n");
fflush(stdout);
}
return 0;
}
Foreground:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
int main()
{
int out, in;
size_t i = 0;
char bufOut[1024];
char *cFifo = "/tmp/out";
char *cFifoIn = "/tmp/in";
out = open(cFifo, O_RDONLY);
in = open(cFifoIn, O_WRONLY);
while(1)
{
i =0;
while(!i)
{
i = read(out, bufOut, 1024);
}
if(i)
write(STDOUT_FILENO, bufOut, i);
}
return 0;
}
I have already tried to force write on the new input fifo but the result is the same.
I already checked for errors, and everything return the expected values, no -1 or any other errors associated with each function
