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

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ke decided to thank Xu Fan, not only because Xu Fan had helped him, but also because it was being broadcast live and he would lose face if he didn't apologize.

Lin Ke gave Lingling a few instructions and then went to Xu Fan's house alone. It was already late, and Xu Fan had already gone inside.

Lin Ke hesitated, wondering what attitude she should adopt when she saw Xu Fan later. How should she begin the conversation?

Just then, Xu Fan returned to the main room from the backyard. He had just tidied up the kitchen and was about to deal with the remaining steamed buns and vegetables when he noticed a dark figure standing at the door.

"Ah!" He was startled. He was terrified of things that suddenly appeared. When Jiang Yichuan's suitors sent people to beat him up in the alley, they suddenly appeared on his way home without any warning.

"Is it really that serious? You can be scared by this? You're such a coward!" But Lin Ke didn't say this. His purpose in coming here was to thank Xu Fan.

He walked into the main room, his entire body exposed to the light of the incandescent bulb, and Xu Fan could see who it was.

Oh, it's Lin Ke. How embarrassing, he got scared again.

"Is it not enough? I have some more, I'll go get you some!" Xu Fan said, and then dashed back into the kitchen.

"Hey! I didn't..." Lin Ke hadn't finished speaking when she saw Xu Fan slip away through the back door. A dozen seconds later, he came back with two clean containers in his hands and neatly packed the remaining steamed buns and vegetables.

There was no refrigerator at home, and Xu Fan was worried about what to do with the leftover food when Fu Chun delivered the food over. Lin Ke disliked him so much that she must have taken it for the sake of the child, and no one else would want his things.

When Lin Ke arrived, Xu Fan immediately assumed they hadn't eaten enough, so he quickly filled bowls with the rest.

"Here, take it." Xu Fan was still very nervous in front of Lin Ke, the only person on the show who knew all the bad things he had done, so he didn't dare to raise his head or look Lin Ke in the eye.

Lin Ke watched him bustling around, so timid and subservient, and felt a pang of unease. She'd treated him so well, and he was still so attentive; was this guy some kind of masochist...?

Lin Ke didn't take it immediately. Instead, he noticed Xu Fan's hands. Unlike his own fair and tender hands, Xu Fan's fingernails were all brittle and looked very rough. Moreover, his palms were very red and looked like they had scattered small scars.

He suddenly remembered that when Xu Fan was trying to stop them from arguing, he was pushed and fell to the ground. Lin Ke looked at the person in front of him. He was thin and long, like a bamboo pole. He was thinner than him, who was trying to maintain his weight for the sake of being on camera. He didn't have much flesh on his body. He must have been in a lot of pain when he fell to the ground. The wound looked fresh, so he guessed that was when he fell.

He felt a dull ache in his heart, something was wrong! No one took the things from Xu Fan's hands for a long time, so he looked up in confusion.

"You don't need the food, keep it for yourself." Xu Fan lowered his head again, somewhat dejected, upon hearing this.

Sigh, Lin Ke must have come to confront me, right? How did she do something wrong again? The food she made was clearly awful, and she still delivered it to someone...

"Hmm... thank you for the steamed buns and vegetables, they were delicious. The ones you sent were enough for me and Lingling. And... thank you..." Lin Ke said carefully, his ears already bright red, and the word "thank you" was barely audible.

However, since the two were close, Xu Fan still heard it. The next second, the light in his eyes returned. So it wasn't that they disliked him. That's good.

"You're welcome," Xu Fan replied, without saying a single unnecessary word.

The two were less than half a meter apart. Lin Ke could see Xu Fan's eyes clearly through his glasses. They looked much smaller because of the thick lenses, but his eyes were clear and bright.

At first glance, he seemed like a very kind child. Lin Ke felt a little annoyed. How could he have made such malicious assumptions about others? Moreover, he hadn't personally experienced what happened in high school, and there might be hidden details. There was absolutely no reason for him to so readily conclude that Xu Fan was a bad person.

"Would you like to come to my house for a bit?" Lin Ke didn't know why she said that; perhaps it was to lighten the mood.

"Ah!...Okay." Xu Fan felt that Lin Ke might have come to him because there was some problem at home and she needed his help, so he agreed without thinking. He was different now than before; he wouldn't presume to think that others were inviting him over. They would only come to him when they had a need.

Xu Fan gave Fu Chun a few instructions and then went out with Lin Ke. Lin Ke led the way, and Xu Fan followed him a few meters away, not daring to get too close.

Lin Ke didn't see Xu Fan out of the corner of her eye and thought he hadn't followed. But when she looked back, she found that the man was following far away from her, acting timidly.

"You, stay closer to me, it's too dark and I'm afraid you'll lose me." Lin Ke came up with this lame excuse, completely forgetting that the two houses were only a few dozen meters apart.

"Okay!" Xu Fan followed, but still kept about a meter away from Lin Ke.

"Come here!" Lin Ke pulled Xu Fan to her side.

Xu Fan was trembling with fear when the two arrived at Lin Ke's house, but Lin Ke seemed to be at a loss for what to do.

I had a moment of madness and didn't know why I invited this person over. Now it's even more awkward for the two of us to be alone together.

Xu Fan remained silent, and the phrase "not saying anything unnecessary and not doing anything unnecessary" was always engraved in his heart.

He nervously picked at his hands, and Lin Ke, seeing this, suddenly had an idea.

"Come with me." After saying that, Lin Ke grabbed the hem of Xu Fan's clothes and led him to the bedroom.

As expected of Lin Ke, he cleaned the originally simple bedroom spotless, changed the sheets to ones he brought himself, and the room still smelled nice.

Xu Fan didn't dare go in, afraid of making a mess for others, so he stayed at the door.

Lin Ke couldn't move him anymore, and looking back, she saw that Xu Fan had stopped walking.

"Why aren't you leaving?"

"I'm dirty, it wouldn't be good if I got you dirty..."

Lin Ke felt even more guilty. Xu Fan was clearly very respectful to him, but he had been calling her a pervert in his mind all along.

Moreover, Xu Fan seemed very afraid of being disliked by others. Even though his clothes were not dirty at all and were clean, his timid and submissive demeanor made him look gloomy and slovenly.

"It's not dirty at all, come in with me."

Xu Fan had no choice but to follow her inside. Once inside, Lin Ke settled him on a bench, then took out a small box she had brought and rummaged through it, taking out a bottle of hand cream, a bottle of iodine, and some cotton swabs and bandages.

"Put your hand out!" Lin Ke felt that if she didn't use this tone, the man would definitely make up another excuse.

Xu Fan stretched out his left hand, still confused.

"Not this one!"

But his other hand still had a wound, it hadn't healed and was bleeding, it was very dirty. He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly spoke.

"Don't worry! I always wear gloves when I cook, so the wound didn't come into contact with the food!"

"This idiot, didn't you see I brought a bunch of bottles and jars? I was trying to treat his wound!" Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Ke directly pulled his hand out, dipped a cotton swab in some iodine, carefully disinfected the wound, and then put on a band-aid.

Then she took out a tube of hand cream that looked very high-end. It must smell nice when squeezed out. Lin Ke applied it evenly to Xu Fan's fingers and massaged it until it was absorbed.

Xu Fan was flattered and surprised. He was given medicine and hand cream, and he had never used such high-end hand cream in his life. Before, when he was doing odd jobs washing dishes in the winter, his hands cracked, and he only bought a bag of Yu Meijing hand cream, which cost only one yuan and fifty cents.

He quickly withdrew his hand and said somewhat anxiously, "Don't give it to me, it'll be a waste."

Lin Ke was furious. This person's sense of unworthiness was just too high! It was just a small hand cream, and he was wasting it! Then he thought of another possibility: Xu Fan's hands were so rough, he probably had never used hand cream or anything like that before...

"It's produced for human use, so there's no such thing as a waste!" After saying that, she took Xu Fan's other hand and applied hand cream to him.

Xu Fan was still confused. Didn't Lin Ke hate him? Why was she being so nice to him?

After applying the ointment, Lin Ke closed the lid, as if she had seen through Xu Fan's thoughts.

"You were injured today...it's partly my fault. I was quite rude to you, I'm sorry. Also, I'd like to say thank you separately about what happened this afternoon."

"No, it's nothing, don't mention it." Xu Fan lowered his head again.

The atmosphere froze again, and neither of them knew what to say. Xu Fan suddenly looked up and said, "Thank you. I'll go back now."

Before Lin Ke could speak, Xu Fan ran away as if fleeing.

After spending time with him today, Lin Ke thought he was a pretty good person and wanted to have a good chat with him about the past, but then he ran away.

Is he really that scary?
