Xu Fan packed his luggage and prepared to rest early. Although Fu Qingci hadn't said when he would pick him up, he still had to get up early and not keep him waiting.

Fu Qingci returned home and called Fu Chun.

"Hey, what's up, Uncle?"

Her uncle has been calling her way too often lately. He took her home yesterday morning, and then called her again in the afternoon to ask what Xu Fan liked to eat.

Forget it, I'll tell him since he wants to be friends with Xu Fan.

"I have good news for you, guess what it is."

What good news? She was incredibly bored, and seeing Xu Fan would be great news. She planned to call Xu Fan tomorrow, and he could play with her the day after tomorrow.

"Xu Fan is coming tomorrow. Have your driver bring you over tomorrow morning. I need to pick up Xu Fan."

What? Xu Fan is coming? Didn't we agree to wait two days?

But Fu Chun was still happy because she was going to see Xu Fan.

"Great! I'll get up at five o'clock tomorrow!"

His tone was filled with undisguised excitement, though Fu Chun had no intention of hiding it either.

Fu Qingci said helplessly, "There's no need to do it so early."

"Then I'd better get up early!"

Suddenly, Fu Chun changed the subject: "Wait a minute, haven't you been contacting Xu Fan behind my back? Otherwise, why would he be coming tomorrow!"

What a clever little girl! They say nephews resemble their uncles, and yes, she inherited her intelligence from him.

"What do you mean by secretly contacting each other? Have you forgotten? I added Xu Fan on WeChat. This is open and aboveboard contact."

"Heh, you just want to steal Xu Fan from me, you scheming man. I'm downloading WeChat too."

Fu Qingci, whose thoughts were guessed by his niece, who called him a scheming man: ...

Fu Qingci tried hard to suppress a laugh and changed the subject: "I'm not trying to steal Xu Fan from you. I have some good news for you, do you want to hear it?"

Another one? Fu Chun felt there couldn't be better news than that Xu Fan was coming.

It should be some trivial matter.

Fu Chunman replied nonchalantly, "Speak quickly, I still need to prepare a gift for Xu Fan."

Fu Chun even prepared a gift for Xu Fan? Looks like he can't lose, but he'll definitely prepare something better than Fu Chun.

"You will not only see Xu Fan tomorrow, but you will see Xu Fan every day thereafter."

Fu Chun paused in her tidying up of the dolls, her face lighting up with excitement: "Really?! Uncle, you're not kidding me, are you? What does it mean to see Xu Fan every day?!"

Fu Qingci's tone was full of doting: "I'm not lying to you, Xu Fan will be working at the company from now on. If you come to the company every day, you can see Xu Fan every day."

"That's great! I didn't expect you to be so reliable, Uncle."

When has he ever been unreliable?

Of course, Fu Qingci knew that he himself was the biggest beneficiary. He could not only see his lovely niece, but also watch Xu Fan every day.

"That's all for now. Come early tomorrow and don't sleep in. I'm hanging up."

"Okay! Uncle, you're so kind!"

After hanging up the phone, Fu Chun happily went back to her room to pack her things, and then dragged her suitcase around.

The commotion startled Fu Ruohan, who was watching the drama.

Fu Ruohan struggled to lift her head from the bed and looked towards the door, only to see the hem of her daughter's clothes and a small suitcase.

What's going on here? And why are you pulling a suitcase?

Fu Chun is a good girl; she will definitely tell her mother about this.

Fu Ruohan saw her daughter, who had just passed by the door, now running up to her like a gust of wind.

Young man, you have great stamina and run fast.

Fu Ruohan had never seen her daughter show such an expression before. Fu Chun's intelligence far surpassed that of her peers, and unlike other children, she did not show any particular expression she wanted. Her expressions were deliberately controlled, and most of the time she was calm and composed, just like her uncle.

But now Fu Chun is smiling happily, just like a child her age, full of childlike innocence. Seeing her happy, Fu Ruohan is also happy.

"Mom, I have some good news to tell you!"

Fu Ruohan smiled gently: "What good news is it that makes my Chun Chun so happy?"

"Xu Fan is coming to play with me! It was originally supposed to be the day after tomorrow, but my uncle and Xu Fan made plans, so Xu Fan is coming tomorrow! And my uncle said that I can see Xu Fan every day whenever I go to the company, because Xu Fan is going to work at my uncle's company!"

Fu Ruohan raised an eyebrow slightly. What did she mean by Fu Qingci contacting Xu Fan, and what did she mean by Xu Fan going to work at Fu Qingci's company?

She recognizes all the words individually, but why can't she read them when they're put together?

Fu Qingci is such a person. Even his older sister, Fu Ruohan, takes ages to reply to his messages, and when she does reply, she's incredibly stingy with her words. He would even take the initiative to contact Xu Fan and invite her to his home sooner.

Regarding work, she didn't mean to look down on Xu Fan, but she knew that Fu Qingci's company had extremely strict recruitment and interview processes, and after the interview, they would have to wait for a notification. Xu Fan had only been back for a day, and his younger brother had already gotten him into his company.

Good grief, they're having an office romance! Who knew her brother was such a pervert!

There's definitely something going on between them. If there's nothing going on, she'll eat all the food Xu Fan made!

She suddenly had an idea.

"How about Mom takes you tomorrow? Mom also wants to meet Xu Fan and thank him for taking such good care of you."

After hearing this, Fu Chun gave her a knowing look: "Mom, you want to eat Xu Fan's cooking, right?"

Fu Chun was wrong this time; she really wasn't going to eat! She was going to investigate the situation!

After she confirms, she needs to find a time to talk to Fu Chun and tell her not to be a third wheel for Fu Qingci and Xu Fan, but to be their wingman.

"Okay, okay, go to sleep! Mom will go with you tomorrow morning!"

"I'm going to sleep now, goodnight, Mom."

Goodnight, my love.

After packing her things, Fu Chun went to bed early, looking forward to meeting Xu Fan the next day.

Fu Chun wasn't the only one who went to bed early because she was looking forward to the next day; Fu Qingci did too.

Because she was going to pick up Xu Fan the next day, Fu Qingci found the clothes she would wear the night before, hung them up, and took out the shoes she would wear in advance. She also planned to do her hair in the morning.

It's not shameful at all to use color to attract Xu Fan.

The next morning, Fan got up before seven o'clock.

Xu Fan felt that Fu Qingci shouldn't be coming over so early. He was a little hungry, so he cooked a bag of braised beef noodles for his breakfast.

Because I was happy, even instant noodles, which I usually find hard to swallow, didn't seem so bad.

As I was eating, my phone vibrated. On the screen was a message from Fu Qingci: "I'm downstairs at your place."

!

Xu Fan didn't expect Fu Qingci to arrive so early; it was only 7:30!

Fu Qingci got up around 5 or 6 a.m., then washed up, changed clothes, did her hair, and even sprayed herself with some perfume. She finished getting ready around 6 a.m.

He figured Xu Fan might not wake up that early, but he couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to go to Xu Fan's house first. If Xu Fan wasn't awake yet, he would wait downstairs for a while, so that when Xu Fan woke up and saw his message, he could see Xu Fan immediately.

When he arrived downstairs at Xu Fan's building, he sent Xu Fan a message. He didn't expect Xu Fan to reply to him right away, but Xu Fan replied almost instantly.

Xu Fan: Brother Fu, wait for me a moment. I just finished breakfast. I'll wash the dishes and come down right away.

Fu Qingci: It's okay, take your time. May I go up and sit for a while?

Xu Fan: Sure! I'll come down and get you!

Fu Qingci: No need for that. Just tell me the building number.

After learning the building and address of Xu Fan's home, Fu Qingci quickly went inside.

Xu Fan had no interest in washing the pots and dishes. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to open the door immediately when Fu Qingci knocked, so he stood obediently at the door and waited for Fu Qingci to come in before he started cleaning up.

"Knock knock knock"

There was a knock on the door; it was Brother Fu!

The moment the door opened, Xu Fan was stunned.

Because today's Fu Qingci is very different from the two times Xu Fan met Fu Qingci before, extremely different!

The first two times Xu Fan met him, his impression of Fu Qingci was that he was noble and elegant. He wore a shirt and trousers and had a very calm and composed feeling that made people feel at ease.

Today, Fu Qingci's hair was styled straight, and she wore a short-sleeved shirt, casual wide-leg pants, and sneakers, with a fresh smile on her face.

This, this, this is totally a male college student!

Xu Fan was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with amazement. Brother Fu looked so handsome. It's true that good-looking people look good no matter what they wear...

Seeing Xu Fan's dazed expression, Fu Qingci's smile grew even brighter.

Don't be fooled by her neatly styled hair today, which looks like it's just been washed and is naturally hanging down. In fact, Fu Qingci has put a lot of thought into it.

Last night, he deliberately searched online for the most popular hairstyles among male college students. He found many, along with tutorials.

He followed the tutorial this morning, and although he himself found it a bit difficult to get used to, Xu Fan's reaction suggested it was pretty good.

By the way, this hairstyle should be called... Differential Shattered Cover?

"Is it pretty?" Fu Qingci asked Xu Fan.

Through their time together yesterday, he learned that when Xu Fan was stunned or lost in thought, he could answer his questions quickly and truthfully.

"Looks good...no, he's so handsome!"

Xu Fan had snapped out of her daze of admiring his good looks: "Brother Fu, you look so young today!"

Fu Qingci's smile froze. Was he really that old before?

Thinking of this, he blurted out the question, his tone filled with grievance and disappointment: "Was I very old before?"

Seeing Fu Qingci's aggrieved look, Xu Fan panicked and quickly explained, "No! Brother Fu has always been handsome! He used to have a mature and elegant feel, but today he looks like a college student."

Fu Qingci's eyes lit up when she heard that. College students are great! College students are the same age as Xu Fan!

Fu Qingci's nose twitched. There was a familiar smell in the air. He quickly recognized it as the smell of instant noodles. His nerdy roommate in college loved to eat this and was forced to smell it for four years.

Did Xu Fan eat instant noodles again this morning? Fu Qingci felt a pang of heartache.

Instant noodles are really not a good thing. In college, he watched his introverted roommate get thinner and thinner from eating instant noodles.

"Brother Fu, come in and have a seat! We can go grocery shopping after I finish washing the dishes."

"it is good."

Fu Qingci was welcomed into the room by Xu Fan, and as soon as she entered, Fu Qingci frowned.

Is this where Xu Fan lives? The peeling paint on the walls and the flaking paint on the furniture show how old the room is. This neighborhood looks dilapidated from the outside, but it's even more dilapidated inside.

This is a shared room. The sleeping area and the kitchen are separated by a board, and only the toilet is a separate room.

The kitchen range hood looks old and has a lot of grease stains that can't be cleaned off. I don't know if it's still usable.

In other words, if the smell of cooking oil doesn't dissipate in the house, Xu Fan will inhale it, which will seriously affect his skin condition and overall health.

Looking at the table again, there was a bowl of instant noodle soup with bits of noodles floating on top. Just as he had guessed, Xu Fan had indeed eaten instant noodles again.

Xu Fan first settled Fu Qingci on the stool, then quickly removed the instant noodle bowl from the table and put it in the sink. He poured Fu Qingci a glass of warm water, added the dried osmanthus flowers that Fu Qingci had given him, and then went to wash the dishes and pots.

The room was small, and there was a lot of furniture. With Xu Fan's own things added in, there wasn't much room to walk around.

Watching Xu Fan's stumbling figure, Fu Qingci thought to herself, "Xu Fan can't stay in this house any longer!"

After washing the dishes, Xu Fan realized it was so early and wondered if Fu Qingci hadn't even had breakfast before coming over. He quickly asked Fu Qingci, "Brother Fu, have you had breakfast?"

Actually, Fu Qingci hadn't eaten breakfast and was already stuffed with hunger, but he felt that if he said he hadn't eaten, Xu Fan would definitely rush around preparing breakfast for him, so he answered that he had.

"That's good. Brother Fu, you must eat on time."

In his previous life, during the time he lived in a rented room after graduating from university, he often ate irregularly, sometimes going hungry and sometimes overeating in order to save money. Later, he always had stomach pains, and when the pain was at its worst, he wished he could roll on the ground.

Therefore, since his rebirth, he has cherished his body, and he makes sure to eat on time even if he can't eat. In fact, he often has no appetite, but he doesn't want to suffer like he did in his previous life.

Hearing Xu Fan's words of concern, Fu Qingci softly replied, "Okay."

He was secretly overjoyed that Xu Fan cared about him again!

After packing, Xu Fan pulled out a small backpack from beside the bed, the same one he carried on the show. This backpack contained his luggage.

"Brother Fu, let's go."

Fu Qingci noticed Xu Fan's backpack and offered to carry it for Xu Fan.

Xu Fan refused, but it was no use; Fu Qingci's large hand had already snatched the schoolbag away.

Fu Qingci snatched the somewhat sloppy-looking bag and slung it over one shoulder.

The two went downstairs one after the other, with Fu Qingci walking in front and Xu Fan following behind.

Xu Fan watched Fu Qingci's retreating figure and thought: Brother Fu was already dressed young today, and with his backpack on, he looked even more like a college student.

Xu Fan's heart pounded as she watched Fu Qingci's retreating figure.

Xu Fan was puzzled. Why was his heart beating so fast? And this was going downstairs, not going upstairs.

Maybe it's because I woke up too early this morning. In my past life, I also had this feeling of my heart beating very fast when I went to bed very late and woke up very early every day.

Reaching the car, Fu Qingci opened the back door and put her backpack inside. Xu Fan was still thinking, "We're supposed to sit in the back seat today," and he almost followed the backpack into the back seat.

But Fu Qingci simply put the bag inside, immediately closed the car door, and then opened the passenger door.

Xu Fan got into the car and fastened his seatbelt in one smooth motion.

Fu Qingci wanted to laugh. It seemed to be even faster than last time. Was he trying to break the world record?

If there were a challenge to be the fastest at buckling up a seatbelt, Xu Fan would definitely be number one.

After Fu Qingci got into the car, she was just about to say to Xu Fan, "I know a supermarket that's having a sale on vegetables..."

But before he could say that, Xu Fan interrupted him.

Xu Fanxing said excitedly to Fu Qingci, "Brother Fu, there's a vegetable market nearby, let's go there to buy groceries."

How could that be? He specifically instructed yesterday that supermarket staff shouldn't greet him, and that everything he bought should be discounted by 90%. (Why not 10%? Because that would be too outrageous.)

Wouldn't that mean his plan would fall through?

He tentatively suggested, "Xu Fan, let's go to the supermarket. I know a supermarket where they're having a sale on vegetables."

After listening, Xu Fan shook his head: "Brother Fu, the vegetables in the supermarket aren't as fresh as those in the farmers' market, and most of the vegetables there are grown by Grandpa and Grandma themselves, without pesticides. Shall we go to the farmers' market?"

Listening to Xu Fan earnestly explaining things to him in a soft tone, calling him "Brother Fu" repeatedly, Fu Qingci's heart melted. How could he possibly refuse?

At worst, he can just find various excuses to secretly give Xu Fan a raise later.

Speaking of salary, Fu Qingci recalled the day Xu Fan didn't believe his company couldn't find anyone.

Xu Fan is so perceptive that he was afraid that if Xu Fan came to the company and saw his current assistant, he would give himself away. So he sent the assistant back home. But he couldn't really let Xu Fan do all the assistant's work, because that would tire him out. So the assistant still needed to work at home.

Xu Fan is clearly very smart, so why did I think he was stupid when I watched the show before? Xu Fan takes good care of himself, his clothes are clean and he smells nice. How could I have thought he was sloppy just by watching him on screen?

Thinking of this, his heart ached uncontrollably.

He initially harbored too much prejudice against Xu Fan. He felt sorry for Xu Fan, even though he used to be no different from those people on the internet who criticized Xu Fan, yet Xu Fan was still so kind to him and cared about him.

He will definitely make Xu Fan know about this later and apologize to Xu Fan.

Guided by Xu Fan, Fu Qingci drove to the front of the vegetable market.

The environment of the market was not very good. There were many rotten vegetable leaves on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of various vegetables, raw meat and fish.

Fu Qingci was a little unaccustomed to it and frowned.

Xu Fan keenly sensed Fu Qingci's discomfort. He remembered that Fu Qingci's office was always spotless and very clean, so he must be a clean person.

I should have listened to him and gone to the supermarket...

Xu Fan felt a little guilty: "Brother Fu, you can just wait for me in the car. I'll be back soon, okay?"

Xu Fan thought he would agree, but Fu Qingci firmly refused: "It's okay, I want to go with you."

To understand Xu Fan, he needed to understand Xu Fan's personality, his hobbies, how he used to live, the farmers' market he frequented, what vegetables he liked to buy, and his little habits...

Therefore, he wanted to go with Xu Fan.
