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

Just as the fathers and children were getting ready to head out to the market, the production crew stopped them.

"Dads can leave now to go to the market. Kids, stay here and complete our secret mission!"

After listening, Fu Chun nodded and said to Xu Fan, who looked worried, "Go ahead, I can handle it."

Xu Fan then left, turning back every few steps.

Chaochao was beaming with excitement, finally able to get away from his grumpy dad!

Ji Yuzhi patted Chaochao on the head: "You'd better do a good job!"

For some reason, Ji Yuzhi had a premonition that this kid was bound to cause trouble!

But I can't worry about that now, making money is the most important thing! Ji Yuzhi took the packed pork rib rice away.

The other fathers also gave their children a few words of advice before leaving with the things they wanted to sell.

The production team gave them a map, and they had to navigate the streets and alleys to get to the market on their own.

Lin Ke and Xu Fan set off together because Lin Ke has no sense of direction and can't read maps, so he was afraid of getting lost. Another reason was that he felt Xu Fan was a very reliable person, and he felt inexplicably at ease by his side.

"Xu Fan, you're amazing! The pudding you taught me to make turned out great! This is my first time making dessert, and I can show it off to my family and friends when I go home for Chinese New Year!"

Xu Fan had never heard anyone praise him so directly before, and he immediately lowered his head shyly.

"What did you make? I smell something delicious!" Lin Ke moved closer to Xu Fan and smelled him. Xu Fan smelled sweet from the fried sweet potatoes he had just made.

This move, however, caused an uproar among the audience.

"Ugh, why is Coco so close to him?!"

"Lin Ke is too kind. People like that must smell bad."

Am I the only one who thinks they're a good couple?

"You'll wear anything? You're insane!"

Fu Qingci is currently handling work, and the live stream is not showing Fu Chunzai's footage.

But for some reason, when he heard Xu Fan's voice, he wanted to see him.

He looked up at the screen and saw Lin Ke hearing Xu Fan's scene.

He frowned unconsciously. It was truly indecent for two grown men to be so affectionate in broad daylight.

A faint sense of displeasure crossed his mind. Since it was so slight, he had no idea what this emotion was, and simply assumed that he might dislike Xu Fan.

Upon hearing Lin Ke's question, Xu Fan slowly recounted what he had made that day: "Today I made mung bean and kelp sweet soup, sweet potato sweet soup, fried sweet potato fries, and red bean buns."

Everything was sweet, and Lin Ke was drooling. He especially loved desserts. Even though he had to maintain his figure, he would eat some desserts every now and then, even if he didn't eat a proper meal. Desserts made him feel happy.

In order to appear on this show, he controlled his diet for a long time, eating only rotten vegetable leaves every day, and hadn't eaten anything sweet for a long time.

Although the milk pudding he made today tasted pretty good, Xu Fan's was definitely a million times better.

However, he won't ask Xu Fan for it. Xu Fan has already helped him a lot, as he has helped him several times since he came to the show.

Xu Fan, however, seemed to have the ability to read minds. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "When we get to the market later, I'll get you some to try, okay?"

Xu Fan was able to understand Lin Ke's thoughts not because Xu Fan was smart, but because Lin Ke's eyes were like those of a well-behaved puppy that wanted to eat but didn't ask its owner for food.

Lin Ke quickly shook her head: "No! How can I eat what you're going to sell?"

"It's okay, I've done a lot."

Now that things had come to this point, and considering Lin Ke already wanted to eat, she happily smiled and said, "Thank you, Xu Fan, you're so kind!"

Lin Ke is naturally spoiled and loves to act cute in front of his family and friends; his gentle and generous image is all an act. He already considers Xu Fan his friend.

Xu Fan just smiled, and the two of them continued on their way.

Ji Yuzhi was the first to arrive at the market, and he was immediately dazzled by the wide array of goods.

There is a passageway in the middle of the market, and all kinds of stalls on both sides, selling fruits, meat, jewelry, shoes and clothes.

Ji Yuzhi panicked instantly. Would he be able to sell his pork rib rice? There were no pork ribs in the rice. If all else failed, he would have to resort to his sexuality!

Then Wen Jingqian arrived. He took out a cloth prepared by the production team, laid it on the ground, and then placed the packaged roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) on the cloth.

Ji Yuzhi glanced at him and exclaimed, "Oh! Here comes the hypocrite! He looks like a young master who can't cook, and he probably can't even cook as well as me!"

Ji Yuzhi walked over to Wen Jingqian and nudged him with his elbow like two good buddies: "What are you selling?"

Wen Jingqian replied casually, "Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)."

Ji Yuzhi was shocked; this kid could actually make such sophisticated food!

"Um, could you open one of these and let me see it?"

Wen Jingqian glanced at me coldly: "No way, how am I supposed to sell it if you smell it rotten?"

Although Wen Jingqian is a mild-mannered person who doesn't compete or fight for anything, he dislikes Ji Yuzhi. Yesterday, Ji Yuzhi went crazy on the show over some trivial matters, and Wen Jingqian's attempts to reason with him were unsuccessful.

Therefore, Ji Yuzhi has now reached the point where he is disliked by everyone and even dogs.

"Holy crap, how could Jingqian say such harsh things!"

"You made me go on the show, and I treated Ji Yuzhi even more harshly than he did."

Ji Yuzhi was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to argue with Wen Jingqian, asking why he was being targeted like this! But Wen Jingqian was already packing up his food and mat and leaving.

After he left, Ji Yu stomped his foot in frustration, but there was nothing he could do. He set up his food stall at the one Wen Jingqian had previously set up and began selling it.

He suddenly realized that everyone on the show disliked him; the children didn't like him, and neither did the fathers. Aside from Pei Yin and Lin Ke, with whom he had already had conflicts, he had initially thought Wen Jingqian's attitude towards him was normal, but he hadn't expected Wen Jingqian to dislike him as well.

He recalled that most inconspicuous figure again: Xu Fan, whom he had mocked in his heart when they first met, Xu Fan, who had come to mediate the fight and was scolded by him, and Xu Fan, who had given him food.

Only Xu Fan did not show any dislike towards him.

Things change every thirty years, and today he's determined to sell his goods like hotcakes! He'll make a fortune, buy meat, and make everyone envious!

He started shouting, and he had specially worn a white vest today to show off his well-built muscles.

He'd definitely charm countless young women! Although the village is mostly populated by older women, he's confident he can captivate them all and get them to buy his pork rib rice!

He had his eye on it and started shouting, "Pork rib rice! Pork rib rice! Rice cooked in a carefully simmered pork rib broth, it's even tastier than the meat! Come and take a look!"

However, nobody paid him any attention.

Ji Yuzhi shouted for a long time, but didn't sell a single item. He was puzzled. Was it because he lacked charm?

He saw a middle-aged woman walking by, grabbed a box of pork rib rice, rushed up to her, and flirted with her: "Sister, can I have a look at the pork rib rice?"

To everyone's surprise, the woman merely glanced at it indifferently and continued walking forward.

Deeply hurt, Ji Yuzhi, unwilling to give up, stopped the woman who was about to leave: "Sister, buy one! It smells delicious!"

The woman then spoke up: "I didn't want to discourage you because you're so handsome, but you insisted on humiliating yourself. It's just plain white rice! I would never buy it!"

Ji Yuzhi began his sales pitch: "This isn't just ordinary white rice! It's made with pork rib soup, it's especially delicious! Buy some and try it, you'll see!"

Seeing his eager eyes, the woman relented: "How much is one serving?"

Ji Yu was taken aback. He really hadn't thought about pricing it! How much did rice cost per person when he ate out before? I think it was several tens of yuan. He would sell it to the villagers for a little less, ten yuan would be fine.

"Ten yuan is enough! That's cheap, right?"

The woman's eyes widened: "Ten yuan! Are you trying to rob me?!"

He then left.

Ji Yuzhi slumped back to his spot, utterly perplexed. He felt that ten yuan was really cheap.

Lin Ke and Xu Fan arrived at this time. Their homes were quite far away, so they were a little slower.

When Lin Ke arrived, she saw Ji Yuzhi looking like he had been beaten up. She didn't know what had happened to him, but seeing him like this, Lin Ke felt very satisfied.

Lin Ke and Xu Fan planned to skip Ji Yuzhi and walk forward to find a stall to set up their business.

At this moment, Ji Yuzhi suddenly looked up and saw Xu Fan. His eyes lit up and he called out to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan stopped when his name was called, wondering why Ji Yuzhi had called him.

Hearing Ji Yuzhi call Xu Fan's name, Lin Ke shielded Xu Fan behind her like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and said fiercely to Ji Yuzhi, "Don't even think about bullying him!"

Ji Yuzhi is a man who is unforgiving even when he should be. The argument with him the day before was clearly a trivial matter, but he still got so angry.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuzhi became furious: "If I remember correctly, you pushed him yesterday, didn't you! What are you pretending to be a good person for now!"

"I..." Lin Ke suddenly couldn't speak. He had indeed pushed Xu Fan. When he treated Xu Fan's wound yesterday, many small marks from the stone were left on Xu Fan's fair palm.

His face turned pale at the thought.

Seeing him like this, Ji Yuzhi pressed his advantage like a victorious general: "I told you so! What are you pretending to be now, telling me not to bully him, but you're doing the same thing yourself!"

Xu Fan suddenly stood in front of Lin Ke: "He's not that kind of person, please don't talk about him!"

Upon hearing this, both Lin Ke and Ji Yuzhi were stunned.

Xu Fan had always thought Lin Ke was a good person. Since Lin Ke appeared on the show, she had never told anyone about her high school days. Moreover, Lin Ke had even helped him treat his wounds and applied hand cream to his hands, making her infinitely kinder than this bully who stole food.

Lin Ke was stunned. He didn't expect the introverted Xu Fan to loudly defend him in front of Ji Yuzhi. Xu Fan was truly a broad-minded person. He could see more of the kindness others had shown him.

He's definitely made Xu Fan his friend! Nobody can mess with him!

Ji Yuzhi was very confused. They had all talked about Xu Fan yesterday, so why was Xu Fan so protective of Lin Ke?

Then Xu Fan spoke up: "Did you call me because you need something?"

Ji Yuzhi quickly asked Xu Fan, "Um, I ate the steamed buns you made yesterday and they were pretty good. You should know a lot about this, right? Could you tell me how much a serving of my food should cost?"

Xu Fan just wanted to finish the problem and leave as soon as possible. He squatted down and glanced at the meal Ji Yuzhi had made. It was nothing special, just ordinary rice.

"Is this what white rice is?"

"No, I cooked it in pork rib broth, it's incredibly delicious! I offered it for ten yuan just now and they wouldn't buy it!"

Lin Ke stayed close to Xu Fan, afraid that Chao Xiong might scold Xu Fan at the slightest provocation.

Hearing Ji Yuzhi's words, Lin Ke rolled her eyes. "It's like a peddler praising his own wares!"

"Three yuan is more appropriate."

"What! How can it only cost three yuan? I usually spend at least tens of yuan on a meal!"

"No wonder he dared to price the meal at ten yuan. I thought it was because of the service fee he charged for seducing people, but I didn't expect that he usually eats meals that cost tens of yuan."

"Where did this young master come from! A few dozen yuan is enough for me to buy a bag of rice!"

Lin Ke was also shocked. This family must be very rich, as a bowl of rice costs tens of yuan.

Xu Fan explained gently, "Rice is about three yuan per jin now. This box of rice only contains about 150g, so the cost is only about one yuan. We can still make a profit selling it for three yuan a box, not to mention the ingredients are free and have no cost. Besides, the purchasing power in this village is low. Ten yuan can buy a lot of vegetables. There's no need to buy a box of rib rice that only smells like ribs but doesn't actually contain any ribs."

Xu Fan spoke slowly and calmly. In the dim light of the market, Ji Yuzhi could only see Xu Fan's chattering mouth and fair skin. Under the light, even the fine hairs on Xu Fan's skin were clearly visible.

Ji Yuzhi was mesmerized. Why did he suddenly find Xu Fan a little cute? And her voice was soft and sweet, with a tone like a little hook.

No! Ji Yuzhi suddenly came to his senses. He looked at Xu Fan again, and Xu Fan was still that ugly man with glasses so thick they could stop bullets.

She's just a little pale! He's gone mad; he actually thought Xu Fan was cute just now!

However, Xu Fan's words made him realize a lot. Rice was only three yuan a pound! A box of rice only cost one yuan to make? What about the rice he used to eat that cost tens of yuan? Did they think he had money to rip him off?!

That must be a different variety of rice and water than what these rural people eat! Ji Yuzhi comforted himself, refusing to admit that he was being taken advantage of!

After Xu Fan finished speaking, he left with Lin Ke regardless of Ji Yuzhi's reaction.

Lin Ke thought to herself that Xu Fan was really too kind, helping everyone, and that this would eventually cause him to suffer.

As Xu Fan walked, he moved to a place far away from the cameras. After looking around and not finding any other cameras, he said to Lin Ke, "Thank you for protecting me earlier."

It was just a small thing; Lin Ke's reaction was purely instinctive. He didn't expect Xu Fan to stop and thank him.

Looking at Xu Fan's fair and tender face, Lin Ke thought it must be very soft. Xu Fan was more than half a head shorter than him, and had to look up when he spoke, looking as obedient as a primary school student.

Lin Ke couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch Xu Fan's cheek; it was indeed very soft. Xu Fan's eyes widened the moment Lin Ke pinched his cheek, his gaze filled with confusion.

"It's okay, we're friends," Lin Ke said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan's previously puzzled eyes lit up, and he smiled, his smile filled with uncontrollable excitement and exhilaration.

"Me, me, are we friends?"

"Hmm! You've been very good to me, I feel like we're friends now, don't you want to be my friend?"

"I'm willing!" Xu Fan said excitedly.

He had always wanted to have many friends. Since his rebirth, he had made a good friend, Grandpa Gu, and now he had made another friend.

Lin Ke touched Xu Fan's head; his hair was soft, just like Xu Fan himself.

I never expected that telling Xu Fan that we are friends would make him so excited. Xu Fan's excitement was as if he had never made friends before.

Indeed, Xu Fan has never had a friend since he was a child. No one treats him like a person, let alone befriends him.

"Alright, friend, the camera's coming, let's go."

"OK!"

The two continued walking, looking for a suitable stall.
