It was getting late, and the production team announced to the audience that the live broadcast for the day had ended.

This has sparked dissatisfaction among many netizens.

"No! I haven't seen enough!"

"I want to see Xu Fan cook dinner, I'm really craving it."

"Wait a minute, why is the live broadcast stopped now? Could it be that the production team is secretly sending Xu Fan back by car?"

"That makes perfect sense! No wonder they have connections."

"Who exactly is saying Xu Fan has connections? His lateness yesterday might have been for other reasons, not because he was being arrogant, okay?"

"The online trolls are back..."

Fu Qingci saw the comments scrolling by and thought that it would be great if Xu Fan could be driven home after the live stream ended, then Fu Chun wouldn't feel guilty.

In fact, the production team wasn't so kind; after the live broadcast ended, the camera that was filming Xu Fan was also removed.

The market had ended, and the lights that had been turned on for the market had been turned off, leaving the surroundings pitch black. Xu Fan clutched the map and relied on the faint light from the villagers' houses to find his way, making his way forward with difficulty.

He carried several bags, but his steps were unusually light. He had bought meat today and was going to make braised pork for Fu Chun when he got back. He also wanted to invite his new friends Lin Ke and Lingling to come over for a meal. That would make four people in total, which would be quite lively.

I wonder if Fu Chun is hungry. Children burn energy quickly, he must be starving. I need to hurry.

Lin Ke quickly got home on her electric scooter. Fu Chun stood at the door waiting for Xu Fan, but instead of Xu Fan, it was her neighbor Lin Ke who arrived.

Lin Ke spotted Fu Chun standing at the door immediately. He invited Fu Chun inside, saying, "Your father will be back soon. I'll bring Lingling to your house to wait for him together."

Fu Chun stood stubbornly at the door, looking in the direction Xu Fan had left during the day, without saying a word.

After returning home, Lin Ke brought her own ingredients and went to Xu Fan's house with Lingling to wait for Xu Fan. Lin Ke went to Xu Fan's kitchen first and started steaming the rice.

Lingling pulled Fu Chun inside, saying, "Little sister, there are so many mosquitoes outside, let's go inside."

Fu Chun shook her head, her voice a little hoarse: "Go inside, I'll wait for him to come back."

Unable to persuade Fu Chun, Lingling had no choice but to go inside to find Lin Ke.

After Lin Ke finished steaming the rice, she moved three small stools, handing one to Fu Chun and one to Lingling. They sat together at the door waiting for Xu Fan.

They waited for a long time, and suddenly, Fu Chun stood up because she saw Xu Fan's figure not far away.

Xu Fan finally returned, and Fu Chun rushed towards him like a gust of wind.

Xu Fan's eyesight was already poor, and in the dim light, he only saw a dark shadow rushing towards him. He thought it was some kind of animal and didn't pay attention. But then the shadow, like a small cannon, pounced into his arms.

Only when I got closer did I realize that it was actually his little girl.

Xu Fan stopped and looked tenderly at Fu Chun, whose arms were wrapped around his waist and whose face was buried in his chest.

"Are you hungry? I'll go back and cook right away, okay?"

"It's all my fault," Fu Chun replied sullenly, her voice trembling and choked with sobs.

Xu Fan knew why she was apologizing, so he freed one hand and gently patted Fu Chun's head: "It's okay, don't cry. Look what I brought you."

Fu Chun then raised her head. Hmph, she had tried so hard to hold back, how come Xu Fan still found out she was crying?

Seeing the tear stains on her face, Xu Fan quickly handed her the shoes he was carrying.

"What's this?" Fu Chun took the bag.

"Just open it and you'll see."

Fu Chun opened the bag, inside was a pair of sandals, light blue in color, with a few pearls inlaid on them.

There was no packaging box, only a simple plastic bag, but Fu Chun was extremely fond of it, looking at it from left to right.

None of her shoes were like that; they were made of synthetic leather instead of real leather, and inlaid with plastic fake pearls instead of real pearls pried out of oyster shells.

But she really, really liked it.

"Let's go back and take a look."

After saying that, Xu Fan took Fu Chun's hand and walked forward.

When he got to his doorstep, he found two other people there: Lin Ke and Lingling.

"You're finally back. I've already cooked dinner, but I didn't stir-fry any side dishes. I doubt what I cooked would be edible," Lin Ke said with a smile.

Xu Fan looked at the three people in front of him, one adult and two children. The warm yellow light from the house shone on him, making him feel very cozy.

"I'll go cook!" Xu Fan said with a smile as she entered the kitchen.

"Then I'll lend you a hand." Lin Ke followed him inside.

"I'll help Dad and Uncle wash the vegetables!" Lingling ran inside as well.

Fu Chun went into the bedroom and quietly changed into her little sandals.

The soles are very soft and cool, a million times more comfortable than the leather shoes she brought!

It was Xu Fan who bought it for her...

"I'm here to wash the vegetables too!" Fu Chun, wearing new shoes, jogged into the kitchen.

Xu Fan skillfully prepared the pork belly, blanching it, caramelizing it with sugar, and then simmering it in a pot... While simmering, she chopped and washed vegetables...

The braised pork, with its rich red color, was ready. Xu Fan then added eggs and potatoes to it.

He stir-fried some vegetables, and then the two adults and two children sat down at the table to eat.

Xu Fan served everyone a bowl of rice and used a clean spoon to scoop some meat for Fu Chun and Lingling.

"Try it quickly."

The braised pork with rice was so delicious, the two little girls ate one piece after another.

Xu Fan scooped another spoonful for Lin Ke, who quickly protected her bowl.

"There's too much. I'll just take one piece. This kind of braised pork is the fattest kind of pork."

"But you're not fat at all, you're very slim and beautiful!" Xu Fan blinked her bright eyes and looked at Lin Ke seriously.

Lin Ke was amused by Xu Fan's serious look and held out the bowl: "Then I'll gladly accept!"

After taking a bite of braised pork, Lin Ke felt completely satisfied. The braised pork was fatty but not greasy, the fat was stewed until soft and tender, and it had a rich soy sauce aroma and a hint of sweetness.

"So delicious!" Add a bite of greens, and it's absolutely amazing!

Seeing how much they were enjoying their meal, Xu Fan also felt a bit hungry. He picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Suddenly, another piece of meat appeared in the bowl.

It was given to him by Fu Chunjia.

Xu Fan looked over, and Fu Chun awkwardly turned her head away: "You're too thin, eat more."

"Okay~"

Just as the group was enjoying their meal, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Here it is, please wait a moment."

Xu Fan got up and opened the door. It was so late, and the crew had all left. Who could it be?
