Fu Qingci and his sister Fu Ruohan live on the same road, but they are not in the same neighborhood and are still some distance apart.

"Should we go back to your own home or to your uncle's?" Fu Qingci asked Fu Chun.

Fu Qingci's family has a small room that belongs to Fu Chun. The room is decorated and furnished to Fu Chun's liking, and it also contains Fu Chun's favorite dolls.

Fu Chun was still immersed in the sadness of parting with Xu Fan, and answered absentmindedly, "Let's go back to my own home. I miss my mom a little."

Suddenly, Fu Chun seemed to remember something and asked Fu Qingci, "Uncle, why did you add Xu Fan on WeChat? I've already exchanged phone numbers with Xu Fan. He can just call me when he comes to see me. I don't need you to."

Fu Qingci chuckled helplessly; the little girl was too clever.

"Do you think Xu Fan is good?" Fu Qingci asked Fu Chun.

"Of course! Xu Fan cooks for me, Xu Fan lulls me to sleep, and Xu Fan even bought me shoes!"

"My uncle also thinks he's a good person and wants to be friends with him, is that not allowed?"

My uncle actually makes friends with other people?

My mother told me that my uncle doesn't have many friends, and they are all childhood friends with whom he grew up, and his parents all know each other.

Moreover, my uncle always finds fault with this person and that person. Even when his childhood friends come to visit him at the company, he looks at them with disdain, let alone actively making friends.

However, it's understandable if it's Xu Fan. Xu Fan is such a good person, everyone should want to be friends with him.

"Okay, but don't try to steal Xu Fan from me!" Fu Chun warned Fu Qingci, clenching her little fist.

"No, but... why do you say that?" Fu Qingci asked.

Fu Chun replied, "During the show, I noticed that there was someone who kept coming over to talk to Xu Fan. Xu Fan didn't want to talk to him, but he still kept coming over."

"Oh? Who is it?" Fu Qingci's eyes darkened slightly upon hearing this.

"He's Chaochao's dad, I think his name is... Ji Yuzhi..."

"Are there any other people?" Fu Qingci asked again.

"And Uncle Lin Ke, but he only came to see Xu Fan because he was on good terms with him. Although he wasn't nice to Xu Fan at first, he later spoke up for Xu Fan, helped drive away Ji Yuzhi, and even took Xu Fan home. He was also very good to me," Fu Chun said truthfully.

This little girl... she's siding with outsiders, that won't do.

"What should I do? Xu Fan is so nice, I want to play with Xu Fan too." Fu Qingci said, pretending to be conflicted.

To his surprise, Fu Chun gave him a disdainful look: "You're so old, what are you still playing around for? Go and do your work, that's what adults should be doing."

"But Xu Fan is an adult too, why are you making him play with you?"

"I……"

These words left Fu Chun speechless; she couldn't explain why.

But she was determined not to back down!

Fu Qingci waved to her, and Fu Chun approached him with a puzzled look.

"I have a perfect solution."

"What method?"

"You can invite Xu Fan to your uncle's house to play, then the three of us can play together. Your uncle's house is quite big with many rooms, and you can even have Xu Fan stay with you. Your uncle will also buy you toys, so you can play until very late."

Without a doubt, Fu Chun was moved.

At home, her mother doesn't allow her to stay up late, so she goes to bed early every day. At her uncle's house, she can have a happy night!

Moreover, her uncle is very good at picking toys. He always picks out some strange and unusual things that she has never seen before and gives them to her. Her uncle's house also has a private cinema and a huge projector. Then she can play with toys with Xu Fan in the room until late at night, and then watch movies with Xu Fan. When she gets tired, she can lie in Xu Fan's fragrant arms and let Xu Fan lull her to sleep!

It sounds wonderful, this is what life should be like!

But my uncle wants to join them. Well, considering how much he's contributed, I'll allow him to play with them.

Anything else is fine, but she won't give up Xu Fan's embrace.

Well, she glanced at Fu Qingci. Okay, there was no place to lie down even if she wanted to; her uncle was much taller and stronger than Xu Fan!

"Okay, then you should buy more toys." Fu Chun compromised.

"Okay." Fu Qingci smiled indulgently.

"So, when are you planning to ask Xu Fan out? How about tomorrow?"

Tomorrow?! Uncle is way too impatient! Even more impatient than her!

"Let's wait a couple of days. Xu Fan is very tired. Let him rest for a couple of days before coming to see me."

Fu Chun abruptly changed the subject: "You still say you don't want to compete with me for Xu Fan! You want him to come over tomorrow!"

Fu Qingci remained silent because he truly longed to see Xu Fan again as soon as possible.

"Say something! You're so mean!" Fu Chun was furious.

"Really not." Fu Qingci answered seriously, appearing very honest, if one ignored the faint smile in his eyes.

Soon, the car came to a smooth stop in front of Fu Ruohan's house.

"Goodbye, Uncle. See you in a couple of days." Fu Chun said goodbye to Fu Qingci.

"Goodbye, Chun Chun." After watching Fu Chun being ushered inside by the housekeeper, Fu Qingci drove away and went home.

As for why he didn't go to his sister's house, it's because he has more important things to do right now.

When Fu Qingci returned home, she still had a faint smile on her lips and her steps were light and quick.

If there were an NPC butler present at this moment, seeing Fu Qingci like this, he would surely exclaim in shock, "Young Master hasn't smiled like this in a long time!"

However, Fu Qingci prefers peace and quiet and has always lived alone. Although the house is very big, he has never felt it is empty.

But the more I look at it now, the more empty it seems. It's okay, it won't feel empty in a couple of days.

He was really looking forward to it.

Back in her room, Fu Qingci opened Xu Fan's WeChat account, which she had just added. She clicked on his profile picture, which was a sunflower, and then checked his Moments, only to find it completely empty.

Fu Qingci sighed helplessly. What to do? It seemed like she couldn't understand Xu Fan from here.

However, this didn't stump President Fu; his thought process was rather unique.

He opened a video app and searched for: people who use their real names in their WeChat names.

First video: What kind of personality do people who use their real names on WeChat have? These people are usually simple, sincere, and very worthwhile to befriend!

Fu Qingci gave the video a thumbs up. "Well said, thumbs up."

However, he already knew this, and the video didn't provide him with any useful information.

He then searched for: people who never post on WeChat Moments.

The first video says: Why do some people never post on WeChat Moments? One possibility is that they don't want to make their lives and details public, and they don't want others to pry into or comment on them.

Another possibility is that they are rich in inner life and sensitive, preferring to enjoy life alone and contemplate life in a quiet environment. For them, the noise and extravagance of social media is a disturbance.

He didn't know which type of person Xu Fan was; he knew nothing about Xu Fan.

No useful information was found here either. Fu Qingci then clicked on Xu Fan's profile picture, which was a blooming sunflower.

Sunflowers... Does he really like this flower?

Then I'll just buy him these flowers next time we meet.

Fu Qingci closed his eyes, his mind filled with the image of Xu Fan's pure eyes, slender figure, and adorable appearance as he slept peacefully in his car when they first met, as well as the rough skin he felt when their hands were clasped together.

These are definitely not the hands a college student should have. Many college students these days are spoiled by their parents and don't know how to do chores.

Xu Fan's hands were clearly rough from frequent work and lack of proper care; they felt a little itchy to the touch.

I really want to see Xu Fan, I really want to know more about Xu Fan...

It seems he can't wait two more days.

However, Fu Chun is right. Xu Fan needs to rest. After watching the three-day program, Xu Fan spent every day serving the little girl food and drinks, making things to sell at the stall, or entertaining the villagers. He was either cooking or on his way to cook. He must be very tired.

But he was itching to try it.

He was also a guy who didn't fight back at all, and immediately decided to send a message to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan returned home and tidied up the house aimlessly. As soon as he got back, he didn't know what to do. It was very quiet around him, and a sense of loneliness swept over him.

Sigh, I was so used to it before, how come I'm not used to it anymore after just a few days of liveliness? I've been alone all these years.

He mocked himself inwardly.

After cleaning, he was a little hungry, but he always did things perfunctorily, as long as he could fill his stomach. After cooking, he sat down at the small table to eat.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated. Was someone messaging him? Xu Fan opened his phone and saw that it was from an unexpected person.

Fu Qingci: What are you doing?

It's Chun Chun's uncle! But why would Chun Chun's uncle send him a message? Could it be that Fu Chun has lost something and needs to ask him about it?

Xu Fan: I'm eating. Is there anything I can help you with?

Fu Qingci raised an eyebrow after receiving a reply instantly, but then found herself both amused and exasperated upon seeing Xu Fan's response.

He always uses the honorific "you" (您). Is he very old?

Xu Fan is only 21 years old, and he is 26. They are only five years apart. That means Xu Fan is in first grade and he is in sixth grade, Xu Fan is in fourth grade and he graduates from junior high school, Xu Fan is in the first year of junior high school and he graduates from high school... that's all.

Well, he is indeed getting a bit old compared to people like Lin Ke or Ji Yuzhi.

It doesn't matter, Xu Fan definitely likes his face the most, no wonder he dressed up specially before going out.

Thinking of this, he recalled Xu Fan's adorable expression when she stared at his face in a daze, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Fu Qingci: What did you eat? Was it good?

Xu Fan was a little embarrassed to tell Fu Qingci that he was eating instant noodles. Before, in college, he always ate instant noodles in his dormitory to save money. When Jiang Yichuan smelled the smell, he would scold him: "You smell so greasy and disgusting. Can't you go outside to eat? Garbage should eat garbage."

But he still told the truth: I was eating instant noodles, and they tasted pretty good.

Fu Qingci frowned. Instant noodles have no nutritional value, and the seasonings inside may even put a burden on the body. Fu Qingci had previously refused to let Fu Chun eat them, but the little girl got angry, so Fu Qingci had the kitchen cook a bowl for her with only a third of the seasoning.

Does Xu Fan like to eat? Fu Qingci thought of Xu Fan's living environment and guessed that Xu Fan didn't like to eat, but only ate to save money.

A pack of instant noodles costs only a few dollars and can fill your stomach, which is a good deal for Xu Fan. To be honest, Xu Fan doesn't really like instant noodles and even hates the taste.

For someone who eats instant noodles occasionally, it might be delicious, but for someone who eats them every few days, the smell alone can be quite nauseating.

Xu Fan was very nervous. Chun Chun's uncle was probably from a wealthy family, just like Jiang Yichuan. Would he also say that Chun Chun ate junk food?

Fu Qingci: Do you really like eating it? But don't eat it every day, it's not very nutritious.

Xu Fan stared nervously at the screen, afraid that Fu Qingci would send a message saying "Eat garbage." His phone vibrated, and a message came in at the same time. Xu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Chun Chun was so kind; he didn't laugh at him.

But faced with this sudden concern, he didn't know how to respond.

Xu Fan considered for a moment and replied: Okay.

It was just two words, but it took several minutes to send. The chat box kept showing "typing," which made Fu Qingci nervous.

Fu Qingci seemed to see Xu Fan sitting upright and serious when he replied to his message through those two words.

Fu Qingci: Chun Chun cried as soon as she got home, and kept asking to see you.

Did Chun Chun cry?! Xu Fan's heart ached as he pictured the little girl's sad, crying face.

Fu Qingci sent another message: How about coming to our house in two days? I'll pick you up.

Xu Fan agreed without hesitation and replied with an "okay".

Fu Qingci chuckled and only replied "okay," like a little robot.

Fu Qingci: I won't disturb your meal. See you in two days.

Xu Fan: Okay.

...That's still good. When can I send him something else?

Fu Qingci understood that this was because they had only just met and were not familiar with each other.

But don't rush, take your time.

He had two more days to prepare a room. Fu Chun would definitely try to coax Xu Fan into staying overnight. He wondered what Xu Fan liked, so he would ask the little girl for advice.

Fu Chun had already returned home and met her dear mother, her mommy. Every day, besides eating, she would lie down or watch TV.

"Mom, I'm home!"

Fu Ruohan immediately jumped out of bed, hugged Fu Chun's small body, and tears fell involuntarily. She hadn't seen her daughter for several days and missed her terribly!

"My Chun Chun, my daughter, I've missed you so much. You've suffered so much. Come here and let Mommy touch your little face. Oh, it's so..." She said, pinching Fu Chun's little face.

She didn't say the word "slimmed down" aloud, because when Fu Ruohan pinched Fu Chun, she found that Fu Chun had obviously gained a little weight. Because this little girl was a picky eater, her face wasn't as soft and bouncy as other children's; she only had a tiny bit of baby fat.

Now, the flesh under her fingers is noticeably more fleshy and softer than before Fu Chun appeared on the show.

Fu Ruohan laughed: "You've gained weight! Does Xu Fan's cooking taste good now?"

"Of course it's delicious! Did you watch the show, Mom?"

"Of course! I've never missed a single episode. I'm so craving it! When can we invite Xu Fan over to play? Mom wants to try Xu Fan's cooking too."

Fu Chun was unhappy. Although she had just returned and already missed Xu Fan's cooking, she didn't want Xu Fan to cook for them when she invited Xu Fan over, as that would tire Xu Fan out.

"Mom, Xu Fan isn't our family's chef, so he's not obligated to cook for us. We should be the ones hosting him when we invite him over."

Fu Ruohan was shocked. The little girl who never considered other people's feelings before could say such profound and caring words in just three days. It was really shocking. She suddenly wanted to see Xu Fan (definitely not for the food he made).

Fu Ruohan quickly explained, "Mom prepared a gift for Xu Fan! She didn't think of Xu Fan as our family's chef. Mom just had a craving and only wanted to eat one dish."

Fu Chun said, "I can't make the decision for Xu Fan. You have to discuss it with Xu Fan yourself."

Fu Ruohan nodded approvingly. Her precious daughter, Chun Chun, had really grown up so much.

"Oh! But you probably won't be able to eat Xu Fan's cooking, Mom." Fu Chun suddenly remembered that she wanted to invite Xu Fan to her uncle's house.

"Why!" Fu Ruohan was heartbroken. She was just a gluttonous girl, why was she being treated like this?!

"It's not because of Xu Fan. It's because Uncle said he also wants to be friends with Xu Fan. We're going to Uncle's house in a couple of days, and the three of us will play together." Fu Chun patted her mother's back to comfort her.

Upon hearing this, Fu Ruohan stopped her roaring. "Go to my younger brother's house to play?"

Isn't her younger brother a combination of severe mysophobia, severe coldness, severe frigidity, and severe aversion to stupidity?

This guy with all his buffs stacked up actually invites strangers to his house and even makes friends with them?

His younger brother has always been like that since he was a child. He always had a cold face when he was in school and always kept to himself, never interacting with others. Yet he actually took the initiative to make friends with others.

Fu Ruohan asked Fu Chun in confusion, "No, do they know each other?"

"I met him when my uncle picked me up today. He even offered to take me home."

"By the way, Mom, why wasn't it you or our driver who picked me up today? Uncle is always so busy, why did he come to pick me up?"

"He called me last night and asked me to."

Fu Ruohan was even more confused, but based on her years of experience shipping couples, it seemed that her gay identity had been confirmed.

Her younger brother seems to be gay.

She felt she had discovered the truth.

Okay, she forgave her younger brother for taking Xu Fan and Chun Chun to his house, which meant she couldn't eat Xu Fan's cooking.

She had always liked Xu Fan, even before he took off his glasses. Now, she doesn't care much about looks; she only cares about a person's character, which is more important than anything else.

Like Fu Chun's biological father, he only has a handsome face, but he's actually a beast.

Xu Fan's kindness and sense of responsibility towards Fu Chun on the show touched her. When she saw Xu Fan's real appearance, she was shocked but also very happy. Nowadays, many people only look at appearances. After Xu Fan revealed his real appearance, the number of people who criticized him on the Internet decreased a lot.

Another day she'll have to subtly ask her younger brother to confirm whether he has feelings for Xu Fan. Once she's sure, she'll talk to Fu Chun and tell her not to be a third wheel, but that she and her daughter will be the wingmen.

Then she'll be able to ship couples live! Just thinking about it is so awesome!
