Thousands of people disliked them, but after being reborn and correcting their mistakes, they regret

Xu Fan smiled and propped his head up as he watched Fu Chun eat. Fu Chun ate his steamed bun and vegetables with great relish.

"Hmm...you eat too!" Fu Chun felt a little guilty when she saw that Xu Fan hadn't eaten yet and was just smiling at her. The food was so delicious that she forgot her basic manners. This was Xu Fan's cooking, and she should eat it with Xu Fan.

She put down her small spoon, took a steamed bun and handed it to Xu Fan. Xu Fan was flattered and took it, breaking it in half. He could never eat much, so this was enough; anything more would be a waste.

Fu Chun saw that Xu Fan had accepted the food, and then happily went back to eating.

On the other side, Lin Ke finally managed to cut the potato strips. Actually, he wanted to cut them into shreds, but his skills were limited, so cutting them into strips was already good enough, although they weren't standard strips and were mixed with some chunks, making them a mess.

"Daddy, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Children get hungry quickly, and Lingling had been starving for a long time too. She moved a small chair to the kitchen and sat down to help Lin Ke cook. There was no fan in the kitchen, so she would occasionally use a small fan to fan Lin Ke, afraid that he would get too hot.

"Honey, let's have stir-fried shredded potatoes for dinner tonight."

"No, you call this silk..."

"This looks like a potato stick, hahaha."

"Keke has never cooked before, this is already very good!"

He put some oil in the pan, and the oil sizzled and popped as soon as it was poured in, splashing high into the air.

"Holy crap!"

Lin Ke took a nimble step back, then protected Lingling and ran away.

He, who always maintains an elegant and generous image, broke his composure twice today. The first time was when he argued with Ji Yuzhi, that utterly idiotic fool, and the second time is right now.

He was a little confused. Why was it frying? Other people put oil in the pot and it didn't seem to fry. The oil was splattering more and more vigorously, and every now and then a drop would splash onto his arm.

"Ouch!" He felt a little pain from the oil splash, and he was afraid it would splash onto his face later, so he couldn't let it explode.

He told Lingling to go out first, then pulled his shirt up to cover his face, groped through the shirt to find the potato fries, and dumped them all in.

"Sizzle!" The frying became even more frantic, and Lin Ke hurriedly picked up the pot lid next to her and put it on.

Finally, the splattered oil was suppressed in the pan, making only a muffled sizzling sound.

"Phew! It's me again!" I guess I don't have to worry about it anymore. I can just let it simmer until it's cooked through. Adding some salt and vinegar should be enough, right? Kids shouldn't eat too many seasonings!

"All done!" Lin Ke went out with a happy smile. When she came back in a little while later, the dish would be ready.

"He clearly has never cooked before. He didn't even boil the water dry before putting the oil in, of course it's going to fry! Hahaha!"

"It's just like the first time I cooked..."

"No, he's just going to leave it like this? He didn't even add water or anything, the pot's going to burn soon."

As it turned out, the audience was right. Lin Ke was still outside reading storybooks with Lingling when suddenly he smelled something burning…

"What's that smell... Oh no!" He rushed into the kitchen. The pot was already emitting black smoke. He covered his mouth and nose, carefully turned off the stove, and lifted the lid. The contents inside were unrecognizable, a black, mushy mess...

"Dad, are you done?"

"Oh dear, baby, wait a little longer! If this one fails, Daddy will make you something else!" Lin Ke smiled awkwardly.

What a blunder! Lin Ke decided not to stir-fry any more dishes, and would simply boil some noodles. Surely boiling something wouldn't go wrong!

Lin Ke diligently scrubbed the charred pot clean with a steel wool pad, her fair hands turning red.

It hurts so much! When has he ever done this kind of work before? He's going to slather on two pounds of hand cream tonight!

He filled a pot with cold water, brought it to a boil, put the noodles in, and when they were almost done, he added some salt and soy sauce. He picked up a noodle with his chopsticks and tasted it.

It tastes awful...

He absolutely cannot let the child eat such awful food! Should we throw it away and make it again? Or add something to salvage it...?

Xu Fan was full after eating half a steamed bun, while Fu Chun ate the braised potatoes and eggplant with lingering relish. Xu Fan was worried that the children wouldn't have enough to eat, so he made a large bowl of it.

After eating his fill, Xu Fan moved a small stool to his doorstep and sat down to admire the red-gradient sunset in the sky.

Lingling was extremely hungry, and her father was still working hard in the kitchen. Not wanting to disturb him, she ran out to play and found Xu Fan sitting at the door of the neighbor's house.

This is the father of the very beautiful little sister. Lingling is very smart. Although she is not good with words, she has a very good memory.

She liked this uncle a little. Although he wasn't as good-looking as her father, he seemed kind. He even carried her pretty younger sister on his back while they walked.

A few seconds later, the pretty little sister came out, holding a white thing in her hand. She recognized it! It was a steamed bun. She often ate it when she was in the orphanage. It was delicious and fragrant.

She couldn't help but recall the taste of steamed buns and swallowed.

After Fu Chun finished eating and drinking, she noticed that Xu Fan seemed to have only eaten half a steamed bun and hadn't eaten any vegetables, while she had eaten two whole ones! She wasn't worried about that simpleton; she was just afraid he would starve and no one would take care of him!

So she took a steamed bun and handed it to Xu Fan: "You should eat more too."

Xu Fan smiled gently: "Are you full?"

"I'm full. I've already eaten two steamed buns and some of the dish you made... uh, I don't know what it's called. I think you're still hungry, so you should eat more!"

Xu Fan shook her head: "Thank you, but I'm really full and can't eat anymore."

Lingling couldn't contain herself any longer; she was so hungry. She ran up to Fu Chun and asked, "Can I have this?"

Fu Chun turned to look at Xu Fan. This was Xu Fan's doing, so she had to ask for his opinion.

Xu Fan was startled by the child who suddenly appeared. The little girl's mouth was practically watering as she looked at the steamed bun in Fu Chun's hand...

"Haven't you eaten yet?" Xu Fan gently patted the little girl's head.

Fu Chun was a little annoyed. This Xu Fan was actually touching another child's head, he'd never even touched his own... Wait! Why would I think that? I won't let him touch me!

"My dad doesn't seem to be very good at cooking. Uncle, could you order us something to eat? I saw that his hands are all red," the little girl replied timidly.

Looking into Lingling's bright, sparkling eyes and seeing how much she cared about her father, Xu Fan felt a pang of tenderness. Without a word, he got up, put a few steamed buns in a clean bowl, and then served her a large bowl of stewed potatoes and eggplant.

Worried that Lingling might not be able to hold it steady by herself, Xu Fan asked Fu Chun, "Could you help her carry this over?"

"sure."

"Thank you!" Xu Fan gave a very faint smile. The reason he asked Fu Chun to deliver it was because he knew that Lin Ke disliked him and definitely didn't want to see him. It would be better to send the child over. Fu Chun was also very well-behaved; they were both good babies.

Two little girls carried the bowls over, but Lin Ke was still struggling with his noodles. The more seasoning he added, the worse it got. It tasted unbearably salty.

"Dad, I brought back some delicious food!"

It was Lingling's voice. Lin Ke quickly went out. Behind Lingling was the child that perverted Xu Fan had brought. The two children each held a large bowl. One bowl contained five or six steamed buns, and the other bowl was filled with some kind of paste that they didn't know what it was, but it was probably vegetables.

Lin Ke took the bowls from the two little girls: "Where did these come from?"

"This was a gift from the pretty girl's father!"

Did Xu Fan make it? Is it edible? I wonder if he added something to it!

Lin Ke brought the food into the house and called the two children in. Lingling took a steamed bun and took a bite. Sure enough, it tasted the same as before. It was fluffy, soft, and had a slight sweetness. Delicious!

"Hey!" Lin Ke didn't have time to stop her. She saw that Lingling had already taken a bite and looked satisfied.

This is a live broadcast, with so many viewers watching. Xu Fan probably wouldn't dare to do anything reckless. Lin Ke hesitated for a moment before picking up a steamed bun and starting to eat.

The moment he put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up with surprise. He could actually eat it, and it even seemed to taste pretty good.

"Try this." Fu Chun pointed to the stewed potatoes and eggplant. Lin Ke and Lingling each took a spoonful and were instantly amazed by the sticky and rich texture.

"Thank you!" Lin Ke said gratefully to Fu Chun. He felt that it must have been Fu Chun's idea to bring the food, otherwise why didn't Xu Fan come by himself? Moreover, he had said some very unpleasant things to him during the day, so he couldn't find a reason for Xu Fan to give him food voluntarily.

Fu Chun was about to leave, as it wasn't appropriate to be there while others were eating. Just as he stood up, he heard Lin Ke thank him.

"Xu Fan did all of this, and he asked me to deliver it. You should thank him, and don't act like you did this afternoon." Fu Chun said, then turned and left.

Xu Fan is such an idiot. He always helps others and never gets a thank you. But since he carried me on his back and cooked for me today, I'll say thank you for him!

Lin Ke knew what "this afternoon" referred to, but he hadn't expected that Xu Fan wanted to bring him food. Xu Fan had indeed helped him that afternoon, but he hadn't said thank you. Thinking of this, the steamed bun in his hand felt like a hot potato. He felt ashamed and couldn't eat anymore.

"Dad, why aren't you eating?"

"You eat first... I'll eat later."

"Fu Chun is being a bit rude. Is this how you talk to an elder?"

"I think the child is right. Lin Ke has indeed never said thank you to Xu Fan."

"That's not a reason for her to teach her elders. Besides, why should she thank that slob!"

"No, you people are all obsessed. Xu Fan helped him out of a tight spot and brought him food. Can't he even say thank you?"

"666, the online trolls are here again."

"If you don't like what you're hearing, you just call others paid trolls? That's ridiculous!"

Xu Fan... it seems he really didn't do anything to him. It's all just his speculation. After all, Xu Fan has a precedent to follow. Did he really do something wrong by treating Xu Fan that way?

Lin Ke fell into self-doubt.
