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

The fathers here were at a loss as to what to do with that pile of bricks.

Xu Fan tried hard to recall the short videos he had seen before, and a rough idea formed in his mind.

However, Xu Fan thought that Lin Ke might not be able to participate, so he asked the production team for paper and pen, drew a sketch, and handed it to Lin Ke.

Lin Ke took the paper, glanced at the sketch, and found it simple and easy to understand, with all the details marked. He happily hugged Xu Fan, exclaiming, "Xu Fan, you're amazing!"

Xu Fan scratched his head sheepishly: "Let's get started, the kids should be back soon."

Ji Yuzhi almost ground his teeth to powder. This sissy, why is he hugging Xu Fan again, and why is Xu Fan so willing to help him? Isn't he more handsome and manly than that sissy?

Or perhaps Xu Fan simply prefers the softer, sweeter, and more cheesy type?

Ji Yuzhi cleared her throat, tried hard to suppress her voice, and feigned a pitiful look as she walked shyly to Xu Fan: "Xu Fan~ I don't know how either, can you teach me?"

Xu Fan was reluctant to help him. Although Ji Yuzhi had already apologized to him and there was no conflict between them, he felt that Ji Yuzhi had been acting strangely lately, and there wasn't enough time for him to draw another sketch.

"I'm sorry, I..." Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ke spoke for him.

"Who are you? Why should Xu Fan help you?"

"And what happened to your voice? Did the fried rice turn it into a duck's voice? It sounds awful!"

Pei Yin and Wen Jingqian, who were watching the spectacle with amusement, wanted to laugh when they heard Lin Ke's words, but they were afraid that Ji Yuzhi would go crazy and disturb them again, so they could only hold back.

Ji Yuzhi was so angry that his breathing became rapid. He was going to end up in the hospital sooner or later because of this sissy!

"Oh? And who are you to Xu Fan?"

"Me?" Lin Ke deliberately slowed down her speech.

"Of course I'm Xiao Fan's good friend, and this sketch was drawn for me by Xiao Fan because she was worried I wouldn't know how to do it~ She drew it especially for me~ And she even marked the details so carefully. I'll show you if you don't believe me, just kidding, I'm afraid you'll plagiarize Xu Fan's wisdom!"

When Ji Yuzhi heard Lin Ke say that she was Xu Fan's good friend, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the back, because he and Xu Fan had no relationship at all now, and their only connection was that they were both guests on this show.

When Ji Yuzhi heard Lin Ke call Xu Fan "Xiao Fan" and Xu Fan obediently accepted the nickname, he felt like he had been stabbed a second time. Why did Lin Ke call him such an intimate name? He couldn't call her that either; if he offended Xu Fan, she would definitely ignore him!

He was stabbed a third time when he heard that Xu Fan had drawn the sketch specifically for Lin Ke, a fourth time when he added details, and a fifth time when Lin Ke showed off to him.

He felt as if he had been stabbed countless times when Lin Ke took the paper back before he could even see it clearly and mocked him for plagiarizing Xu Fan's wisdom.

He just wanted to get closer to Xu Fan, but Lin Ke made him sound like such a petty person, which ruined his image in Xu Fan's mind!

Thinking of this, he felt weak all over, his face was very pale, and he looked haggard and resentful.

Seeing that he was half-dead and didn't leave, Xu Fan felt that he was disturbing him and Lin Ke's oven-making process, so Xu Fan said, "You can watch how we make it."

Hearing Xu Fan speak to him, Ji Yuzhi was instantly revitalized: "Okay! I promise I won't bother you!"

It seems he still has a lot of charm. Even though Lin Ke said so many bad things about him to Xu Fan, Xu Fan is still willing to talk to him.

Actually, Xu Fan just wanted to finish setting it up quickly so he could bake something delicious for Fu Chunling and Lin Ke that evening.

Wen Jingqian was also completely clueless. He walked over and gently asked, "Xu Fan, may I take a look at your design when you're building it? It won't bother you."

Pei Yin: "I don't know how either, but I want to see too, please, Xu Fan!"

Xu Fan quickly replied, "Yes, that's fine."

"They trust Xu Fan so much before the building is even finished? And they're all begging him?"

"Wen Jingqian and Pei Yin are genuinely pleading, but I feel that Ji Yuzhi just wants to talk to Xu Fan. Look how strained his voice is."

"I seriously suspect Xu Fan has a script; everyone's fawning over him like that!"

"Xu Fan is trusted by others because he's reliable, and he's kind to everyone, so others treat him kindly in return. Did you even watch the show?!"

"I forbid you to talk about my wife, Xu Fan!"

"She's my wife!"

"666, a bunch of paid trolls, I can't be bothered arguing with you."

"Aren't you the one who's a paid troll? Speechless."

……

Xu Fan had already gone over to the pile of bricks to move bricks.

Wen Jingqian offered, "Xu Fan, let me help you move the bricks." He thought Xu Fan was too thin and weak to move them.

Pei Yin also said, "I'll help you move too!" When asking Xu Fan for help, you should definitely be nice and offer to do things for him.

Ji Yuzhi exploded again when he heard the two of them say they wanted to help Xu Fan. Damn it, Lin Ke was already annoying enough, and now there are two more?

He rolled up his short-sleeved shirt, revealing his well-defined biceps, and struck a very muscular pose: "I'll do it! Can you two greyhounds handle this? Look at these muscles!"

Pei Yin and Wen Jingqian, who were called "slender dogs": ...

"Why does he always insist on showing off his big muscles? Nobody wants to see that, okay? It's so greasy."

"Just do it quietly, why roll up your sleeves? Based on what I observed in the past couple of days, maybe he thinks it looks cool?"

"Aaaaaaah, I can't take it anymore! He called my husband a greyhound!"

"So what if I like greyhounds? He has no idea how charming they are!"

Xu Fan was focused on stacking bricks into his arms and didn't pay attention to what they were saying. After he finished stacking the bricks, he stood up and asked with some confusion, "Were you talking to me just now? Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly."

Everyone was dumbfounded. Xu Fan had stacked four rows of bricks in his arms, three in each row, for a total of twelve bricks, which almost filled his thin chest.

However, Xu Fan moved it very easily, as if it were an everyday meal. There was no ferocious expression on his face from exerting force, only the faint blue veins on his forearm bulged slightly.

It looks very contrasting.

"My goodness, it's already so fresh and clean?"

"These don't look that heavy, is there any need to be so surprised?"

"It weighs over two pounds, and it's very rough; it's not easy to carry. Try lifting one yourself!"

"My wife! She's so capable!"

Ji Yuzhi was initially shocked, then exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something, "Damn production team, they gave us some cheap bricks, didn't they? And they even made an oven out of them! They all turned to dust when we burned them!"

Ji Yuzhi simply didn't believe that Xu Fan could lift so many bricks at once. Normally, twelve bricks would weigh at least thirty pounds. Although they weren't heavy, Xu Fan was thin and looked unwell. Moreover, his expression was so relaxed that Ji Yuzhi felt that the production team must have given them a bunch of cheap bricks to fool them.

But they all forgot that Xu Fan was the only one carrying a child and a lot of luggage while walking along the mountain path.

As he spoke, Ji Yuzhi walked to the pile of bricks, picked up a brick, and was dumbfounded the moment he got it. This was the weight of a normal brick. Xu Fan was so thin, yet he could lift such a heavy thing!

While he was still in a daze, Xu Fan had already put the bricks back and was moving them a second time.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xu Fan stacked bricks, picked them up, and left, all in one smooth motion.

Ji Yuzhi was heartbroken and felt defeated again. Xu Fan didn't need him at all!

Wen Jingqian, Pei Yin, and Lin Ke realized what was happening and helped move the items. Although Xu Fan was very strong, it was good for them to do their part. Only after Xu Fan had built it could they imitate it and build it themselves.

Xu Fan thanked everyone for helping him move a lot of bricks and then started building.

Building an oven is actually very simple. You just need to stack bricks into a cube, place an iron plate in the middle, and leave space underneath for the fire and for putting food.

The important thing is to arrange it properly to keep it stable and prevent it from collapsing.

Xu Fan designed it very reasonably, with each brick having its own place. Soon, half of the bricks were placed. Then, an iron plate was placed in the middle to continue placing the bricks, and the top layer was sealed with an iron plate and bricks. Thus, a simple oven was completed.

"Holy crap, does he really know how to do that? How come he can do everything?!"

"I told you my wife is very virtuous and capable."

"Whether it will even work is still uncertain, yet so many people are already praising it."

"I guarantee it will work perfectly. This is the earthen cellar from my hometown. I built one with my grandfather when I was a child, but it wasn't as neat and tidy as Xu Fan's."

The crowd was dazzled. No, how could it be over already? They hadn't even seen it clearly yet!

Lin Ke couldn't help but exclaim, "You finished so quickly! Xu Fan, you're amazing!"

Ji Yuzhi: Xiao Fan is so amazing! Xiao Fan can do everything! I love her so much! (That's right, he wants to call Lin Ke "Xiao Fan" too! But he only dares to call her that in his heart.)

Xu Fan laughed and said, "It's nothing special. This is just a simplified version. I've seen more complicated ones online before, which require sand and clay and waiting for them to dry. But that's too troublesome; it takes many days to dry."

Ji Yuzhi: Xiao Fan is quite knowledgeable!

Lin Ke called to the still bewildered others, "Everyone, disperse. You've all seen it, now go back and do it yourselves!"

Wen Jingqian and Pei Yincai snapped out of their daze and went back to moving bricks.

"You get out too," Lin Ke said coldly.

These words were spoken to Ji Yuzhi, who looked at Xu Fan with an infatuated expression, appearing almost perverted.

"Mind your own business! I haven't learned it yet, I need to observe more!"

Xu Fan had finished cooking and had nothing else to do, so he waited for the child to bring back the ingredients. He tugged at Lin Ke's sleeve and said, "Lin Ke, let me help you carry them."

Lin Ke smiled indulgently: "Okay~ But you're not allowed to carry too much at once, it's easy to get hurt!"

After saying that, Lin Ke pulled Xu Fan away, saying to Ji Yuzhi before leaving, "Take your time looking at it! Make sure you look carefully, so you don't have to come back later!"

Xu Fan has already run away, what's the point of looking at him now! He wasn't really there to look at the oven, he just wanted to see Xu Fan a little longer.

So he sheepishly went to work as well, sneaking peeks at Xu Fan, who was also working as a bricklayer.

Seeing him lingering for so long while carrying a brick, Lin Ke mocked, "Oh! Weren't you so strong? Squatting here for so long just to carry a brick, can't you lift it?"

Ji Yuzhi was provoked and broke down a bit, squeezing out through gritted teeth, "Of course not." Then he carried the bricks back to his position.

He decided to change his strategy; he wanted to be the first to bake an oven and make Xu Fan think he was a smart person!

After he finished moving the bricks, he stood there helplessly, wondering what Xu Fan had done.

I seem to have been too busy looking at people, oh no!

Forget it, let him do whatever he wants. He's a world champion! A genius among geniuses, he can do anything well!

This is where the blueprints came in handy. With Xu Fan's hand-drawn blueprints and help, Lin Ke built the structure very smoothly and finished it in no time.

Although Wen Jingqian and Pei Yin didn't have a smooth time building it, they would check on Xu Fan's oven every now and then, and eventually they managed to finish building it by trial and error.

Ji Yuzhi nodded, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction. (Actually, it was a messy, haphazard pile.)

Everyone finished building it, but it didn't work for long. This was all thanks to Xu Fan; otherwise, the four of them, even with their limited abilities, wouldn't have been as good as a tenth of Zhuge Liang, and they wouldn't have been able to come up with a solution no matter what.

Now they are resting and waiting for their child to return.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and Xu Fan sat quietly with his eyes closed, feeling the summer breeze, which was warm.

"Xu Fan! Xu Fan!"

The sound made Xu Fan open his eyes. Oh, it was his little princess who had returned.

Children can run fast. Fu Chun was wearing sandals that Xu Fan bought for her. They were cool and comfortable, and her feet were not restricted. They were much more comfortable than leather shoes, which allowed her to run very fast without restraint, because no matter how fast she ran, her toes would not hurt like when she wore leather shoes.

Xu Fan watched the little girl running closer nervously, afraid that she would fall. He quickly ran to catch Fu Chun and responded to her calls.

"I'm here, slow down!"

The two, one big and one small, finally met up. The little girl's face was flushed, and her forehead was covered in sweat, indicating that she had been running for a long time.

The parking lot was a bit far from here, and the staff helped them carry the groceries they bought. As soon as Fu Chun got out of the car, she took the chocolate and went back to find her Xu Fan.

The little girl has even abandoned her proud and noble princess image.

Xu Fan tenderly wiped Fu Chun's sweat with a tissue, wondering what the production team had done to make the child so tired and sweat so much.

"Are you tired? Shall I take you to get some water?"

Fu Chun handed the chocolate to Xu Fan, her eyes sparkling: "I'm not tired or thirsty! Here, have this. I haven't eaten any myself. I brought it back especially for you. But I don't like this stuff, so don't save any for me."

Xu Fan trembled as he took the chocolate, his eyes instantly filling with tears. However, he tried hard to hold his breath and prevent the tears from falling. With his glasses covering his eyes and Fu Chun being too excited, he didn't realize that something was wrong with Xu Fan.

Xu Fan remained silent for a long time, and Fu Chun realized something was wrong. She thought Xu Fan believed that she had broken the rules and secretly bought snacks.

"I didn't buy any snacks! Everyone else bought some but I didn't. This is my reward for following the rules, you..."

Xu Fan suddenly hugged Fu Chun tightly, her voice choked with uncontrollable sobs: "Thank you, thank you so much..."

Warm liquid fell onto the back of Fu Chun's neck, and Fu Chun realized that Xu Fan was crying.

He must have been too tired from the afternoon's tasks, or someone must have bullied him!

She wouldn't ask Xu Fan who bullied her while she was away, because she knew Xu Fan would keep it to herself. She would observe for herself later and let the person who bullied Xu Fan wait!

She patted Xu Fan's back awkwardly: "Quickly eat the chocolate I brought back for you!"

In fact, the moment Xu Fan saw Fu Chun hand him the chocolate, he thought of his childhood.

He greatly respected the director of the orphanage. He would often see the other children giving her the snacks they had saved up. The director would accept them with a smile and then give them some of her own more expensive and high-end snacks, perhaps bought by someone who came to visit her. She couldn't bear to eat them herself and specially saved them for the children.

He saw the director interacting with the other children and felt very envious. None of them had parents, and the director was like a mother to them.

But he was so unlikable that the orphanage staff always refused to give him snacks. One time, when one of the staff was distributing snacks, she accidentally dropped a bag on the ground. No one noticed, and neither did the staff. He secretly hid it.

At night, he would curl up in his blanket and fantasize that with this bag of snacks, would the headmaster treat him with the same smile as the other children?

But when he eagerly handed the bag of snacks to the dean, the dean's face darkened: "Where did you steal these snacks from?"

He wanted to explain that he hadn't stolen it, but then it dawned on him that he had indeed picked it up and secretly hidden it, and that it didn't belong to him...

The dean scolded him and told him never to give him snacks again. Although he had never received any before, he was still very upset.

Later he understood that children always save up things they think are good to share with the people they love. The director would also share the snacks that the children had saved, because the director also loved the children.

He alone is unworthy of loving others, nor is he worthy of being loved by others.

The chocolate that Fu Chun brought back for him was something she had earned through her own efforts. The little girl had been reluctant to eat it along the way and had specially saved it for him.

He finally got to own that bag of snacks he never had as a child.

It was specially reserved for him, reserved for him alone.

Fu Chun tore open the bag of chocolates and popped a piece into his mouth: "Is it good? Don't cry after you eat it."

"Delicious, so sweet..."

Xu Fan held back her tears and pushed the chocolate back: "It's delicious, you should have some too."

Fu Chun tilted her head haughtily: "Since you insist so much, I'll just have a bite, but only one bite. I told you I brought it for you. Ah—"

After Fu Chun finished speaking, she opened her mouth slightly. Xu Fan finally smiled, broke off a piece of chocolate, and gently put it into Fu Chun's mouth.

"The taste is alright. You can keep the rest yourself. Let's go, I bought a lot of groceries."

Xu Fan stood up and gently led Fu Chun back: "Want some pizza?"

"Pizza? I'll eat it! Let's go!" Fu Chun's eyes lit up. She had only eaten pizza once before because her family said it was unhealthy and wouldn't let her eat it, but she thought it was delicious and loved it.

"Okay~ I'll make it for you right away."
