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

Fu Qingci has been feeling down lately.

You should be happy to have your crush as your assistant, living in the next room on the same floor and being able to see him every day.

However, Xu Fan became more and more serious about his work, as if he wanted to prove that Fu Qingci's monthly salary of 2 yuan was not paid for nothing.

He has become more and more capable, and his energy and spirit are getting better and better. Every morning when I wake up, I see him smiling and full of vitality.

However, the more work Xu Fan did, the less time she had to communicate with Fu Qingci. They could only chat for a few minutes during meals each day, and during work hours, Xu Fan could only talk to him about work.

Even after get off work and on weekends, Xu Fan is learning this skill or that skill, keeping her time fully occupied.

What angered him most was that many employees in the company particularly liked Xu Fan.

Some employees often slack off at work, secretly watching variety shows and such. During one of their collaborations with Xu Fan, they recognized him, and after confirmation, the entire company was in an uproar.

Once, when Fu Qingci was inspecting the work, she overheard the employees whispering among themselves, saying that Xu Fan was their ideal type, that he was gentle, handsome, and a good cook, and that they should find a boyfriend like Xu Fan.

Many employees also bring Xu Fan coffee and snacks every day, which Xu Fan always accepts with a smile and then shares the snacks she baked at home on the weekend with them.

Xu Fan was a little hesitant to share his cooking with them, afraid they wouldn't like it. But these days, every time he cooked Fu Qingci, she would eat a lot and keep praising how delicious it was. Chun Chun also loved it, so he figured it must taste alright.

The employees were instantly won over by the snacks Xu Fan gave them and liked him even more.

Fu Qingci hopes that Xu Fan will be liked by many people because his Fanfan is a very good and excellent person, and it is only right that she is liked by so many people. However, he is not magnanimous enough to tolerate someone trying to take Xu Fan away right under his nose.

There were also those little snacks baked by Xu Fan. Xu Fan only went home on weekends and brought him snacks that she baked at home on the weekend. Fu Qingci didn't like to eat things that were too sweet, but unexpectedly, Xu Fan discovered that the low-sugar desserts she baked were just to Fu Qingci's liking.

He doesn't usually eat in the office, but ever since Xu Fan brought him snacks, he eats while working every day, and glancing at Xu Fan next to him every now and then is quite content.

Later, Fu Qingci discovered that after Xu Fan was fed by other employees, he would also share the snacks with them. Although his share was not reduced, he was still a little jealous.

They should all belong to him!

During this time, something else happened: Fu Chunzhen went from being a third wheel to a wingman.

That day, after Fu Qingci took Fu Chun home, she was sullen and unhappy.

She couldn't muster the energy to study, and she didn't even want to learn the piano, which was her favorite subject.

She didn't understand why her mother insisted on making her go back to study during the long summer vacation. It wasn't like she was missing a day or two. She could just double her homework every day to make up for what she missed. Why did her mother want her to go back even though she hadn't had enough fun with Xu Fan?

She sat silently in her room, hugging her doll, when Fu Ruohan suddenly knocked on the door: "Sweetie, can Mommy come in?"

"I want to rest." Fu Chun would never get angry at her mother, but you could tell from her tone that she was very unhappy.

"Oh, please let Mom in! Mom has something to tell you, it's about Xu Fan~"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door remained closed for a long time. Fu Ruohan knew that her actions had hurt her daughter's feelings, but for the sake of her younger brother's happiness, and given his intimidating presence, she dared not disobey!

Just as she was about to leave, the door was opened a crack.

Fu Ruohan's eyes lit up. She pushed open the door, and Fu Chun glanced at her before gracefully walking to the small table, pouring two glasses of water, and then sitting down on a small chair: "Mom, you can say it now."

Fu Ruohan also sat down in the chair, organized her thoughts, and then asked somewhat nervously, "Chun Chun, do you know why Mommy wanted you to come back?"

Fu Chun glanced at her, then looked away, took a sip of water, and slowly said, "So that I can go home and study."

"Of course not, it's for another reason! Before I tell you, you should prepare yourself mentally..." Fu Ruohan was unsure if her daughter could understand feelings between women.

"I'm done, go ahead and say it." Fu Chun stared intently at Fu Ruohan.

"Well, um..." Fu Ruohan still found it difficult to speak when faced with a child saying such a thing.

"What?! Tell me, Mom!"

"Because, your uncle likes Xu Fan!" Fu Ruohan said, closing her eyes. She felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to see Fu Chun's reaction.

To everyone's surprise, Fu Chun spoke as if she had known all along: "Hmph, my uncle told me he likes Xu Fan, so I knew he was going to try and steal Xu Fan from me. How cunning!"

Fu Ruohan was stunned. Her younger brother had already told Chun Chun about this?!

Seeing Fu Chun's expression, she realized that the "like" Fu Chun was referring to wasn't that kind of "like".

Children are still children, so innocent.

"It's not the one you're talking about, Chun Chun, it's someone else..."

Fu Chun's eyes widened: "What do you mean by 'like'?"

"Yeah...it's the kind of 'like' your uncle has for Xu Fan—wanting her to be your aunt!"

Fu Chun was shocked and incredulous. Her teachers had taught them this in school. Although she still couldn't quite understand this kind of affection, she knew it was definitely the kind of affection children had for each other, unlike the affection for a particular object. This kind of affection could lead to marriage.

"But Xu Fan is a man! How can a man be an aunt?"

"This is just an example. Your uncle's feelings for Xu Fan are the kind where he wants to marry him, right? Your teacher taught you that, didn't she? And this kind of affection can happen not only between men and women, but also between two boys or two girls!"

Fu Chun nodded, somewhat bewildered. Although she still didn't fully understand, she was overjoyed: "Then Xu Fan can become our family! Will I be able to see Xu Fan every day?!"

Fu Ruohan didn't expect this girl to understand and accept it so quickly. She rolled her eyes and said, "That's hard to say! Your uncle likes Xu Fan, but Xu Fan doesn't like him."

All these "likes" were making Fu Chun quite confused. After thinking for a moment, she summarized: "So, in other words, Uncle wants to marry Xu Fan, but Xu Fan doesn't want to marry Uncle because Xu Fan's feelings for Uncle are just friendly, right?"

"That's right!" Fu Ruohan praised her daughter in her heart for being so smart, but her analogy wasn't very good. Xu Fan didn't even know if he would be interested in her younger brother, let alone date him, and marriage was a distant dream.

"I understand, Mom. You asked me to come back so that they could spend more time together and so that Xu Fan could like his uncle, right?"

Fu Ruohan exclaimed excitedly, "Yes!"

"So I won't be able to see Xu Fan as often anymore... But it's okay, once my uncle succeeds, I can play with Xu Fan every day..." Fu Chun was disappointed, but she kept comforting herself.

Fu Ruohan leaned over and put her arm around her daughter's little shoulders: "Who said that! You can still go see Xu Fan. You can help your uncle and Xu Fan get along, so you can see Xu Fan and make him part of our family sooner, right?"

Fu Chun's eyes lit up with hope after hearing this, and she exclaimed with determination, "That's right, I will definitely help my uncle!"

"Mom will take you to the company to see Xu Fan in a few days."

Fu Ruohan had planned to send Fu Chun to the company in five or six days, but this time had to be brought forward.

Three days after Xu Fan started working, Fu Qingci sent a WeChat message to Fu Ruohan, asking what to do since Xu Fan was now working and studying both at work and after get off work and was completely ignoring him. He was too embarrassed to take the initiative to disturb Xu Fan's studies, but he really wanted to be close to Xu Fan.

Fu Ruohan: Simple, I've already trained your wingman, please check.

At that time, Fu Qingci did not know the meaning of those words until her sister brought Fu Chun over after get off work that day.

Fu Qingci sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. Why send this little third wheel back after all that trouble?

Fu Ruohan smiled without saying anything. Xu Fan saw Fu Chun's face full of surprise, not expecting to see Chun Chun again so soon.

Fu Chun gave his uncle a wink, as if to say: Watch me.

Then he took out a box of building blocks from his bag, wanting to play with Fu Qingci and Xu Fan.

The three of them went to Xu Fan's dormitory and started assembling the device. However, the instructions were extremely complicated. Fu Chun glanced at it and collapsed onto the sofa with a disappointed look: "It's so difficult! A kid like me can't possibly finish it, but I really want the finished product!"

Seeing how much the child wanted it, Xu Fan quickly replied, "It's okay, Chun Chun, you rest for a while, I'll put it together for you."

A sly glint flashed in Fu Chun's eyes; his plan had succeeded.

However, Xu Fan had never played with these building blocks before, and at first he even held the instruction manual upside down. At this moment, Fu Chun casually said, "Xu Fan, let your uncle help you build them. I want to do it today, and your uncle seems to be very good at this."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Brother Fu." Xu Fan nodded, realizing that he really couldn't do it alone.

Fu Qingci gave Fu Chun an appreciative look. When their eyes met, Fu Chun winked playfully.

So that's what his older sister meant; Fu Chun was the wingman.

Although they were building blocks together, Fu Qingci was never bored with Xu Fan. He was very content, as it was much better than Xu Fan staying in his dorm to study as soon as he got off work, and he never even got to see Xu Fan.

The two huddled together discussing the instructions and then assembling the puzzle together. Inevitably, there was physical contact. Fu Qingci's heart pounded, and the tips of his ears turned red. Sometimes he would deliberately make mistakes and then pretend to be annoyed. Xu Fan would comfort him and then they would assemble it again.

Fu Chun watched TV on the side, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

However, he still needs to give Xu Fan some personal space; it's enough for him to spend time with Xu Fan like this occasionally.

……

After returning home, Ji Yuzhi missed Xu Fan terribly and really wanted to ask her out!

However, he and Xu Fan are not familiar with each other at all now, and he feels that he will inevitably be rejected by Xu Fan. Every time he wants to send a message to Xu Fan, he opens the chat box, thinks about it, and then decides not to send it.

Then let's watch the show. He performed so brilliantly and skillfully, he must have gained even more fans. I wonder if he's gained 300 million fans.

I first checked my social media accounts, and wow! Not bad, they've really gone up a lot!

He started watching the show, enjoying it as he watched. He thought the production team had done a good job filming him, making him look so handsome.

Seeing how awful he had been towards Xu Fan after watching the replay of the first day, he realized Xu Fan must have been terrified. He felt a little disappointed; no wonder Xu Fan didn't want to talk to him.

The more I looked at it, the more something seemed off. Why were so many people criticizing him? They even called him Chao Xiong! It really infuriated him!

He got angrier and angrier as he watched. Every scene featuring him was met with a barrage of insults, until he saw that some people in the comments were actually shipping him and Xu Fan as a couple.

He's a young and trendy person, so he understands what this means. Well, forgive these clueless people for three seconds; these comments gave him tremendous encouragement. What does this prove? It proves that the audience likes watching him and Xu Fan interact; he and Xu Fan are a match made in heaven! (The Ke-Fan CP comments have been automatically filtered out by pig brains.)

The audience has such high hopes for him, so he needs to work even harder! He mustered up his courage and messaged Xu Fan, deciding to start by chatting. What should they talk about?

He recalled Xu Fan's appearance when he first appeared on the show; he looked like a typical nerdy guy. Xu Fan must like games!

Xu Fan was busy working when she suddenly received a message. She initially thought it was from the work group, but upon opening it…

Ji Yuzhi: Xu Fan, Xu Fan, I'm so bored. Do you usually play games? How about we play together?

Xu Fan frowned slightly. He felt that he and Ji Yuzhi were not familiar with each other, so why should he send him a message? But he replied out of politeness.

Xu Fan: Sorry, I don't usually play games.

Ji Yuzhi: Okay, okay, Xu Fan, what are you doing?

Xu Fan: Work.

Upon receiving the message, Ji Yuzhi thought, "If Xu Fan is at work, how about I make him a love-filled bento box? Then I can deliver it to his company. It'll be both heartwarming and comforting, and Xu Fan will definitely be incredibly touched! That's how it's portrayed in the idol dramas his mother loves to watch."

Ji Yuzhi: Xu Fan, Xu Fan, where do you work?

Xu Fan wasn't familiar with Ji Yuzhi and didn't want to tell him, plus he wanted to focus on his work, so he decided to make a quick decision.

Xu Fan: I'm sorry, it's not convenient to disclose that now, I have to go and get busy.

Ji Yuzhi, who was still happily fantasizing, received a reply that shattered his world.

Waaaaa, Xu Fan is so cold to him! Xu Fan doesn't seem to want to talk to him at all!

No problem, before the next episode, he will work hard at home to build muscle and improve his cooking skills. In the next episode, he will show Xu Fan his masculine charm and make Xu Fan look at him in a new light!

……

That day, Gu Linyuan met Xu Fan and scolded him. After being beaten and verbally reprimanded by his own grandfather, he wandered back to his company like a lost soul.

He was scolded by his grandfather and began to doubt himself. Had he really misunderstood Xu Fan? He immediately dismissed the thought. Xu Fan was just that kind of person; there was no misunderstanding.

He didn't understand why his grandfather would side with an outsider, and why his grandfather didn't believe him, saying that there were plenty of people who liked Xu Fan, so how could Xu Fan look down on him?

Gu Linyuan really wanted his grandfather to see for himself how Xu Fanzhong was trying to win him over.

However, after get off work, he inexplicably clicked on the variety show that Xu Fan had participated in.

He wanted to see what tricks Xu Fan would pull to get his attention next.

When he clicked on the replay of the first day's live stream, he not only saw Xu Fan, but also an acquaintance from high school.

That was Lin Ke. Although they were classmates, he wasn't very close to Lin Ke in high school and they hadn't spoken much. He had heard from his classmates that Lin Ke was always a loner and a very genuine person.

Gu Linyuan noticed the disgust in Lin Ke's eyes and thought that Lin Ke must feel disgusted to see someone like this, knowing what happened in high school.

Later, when he saw Xu Fan taking the initiative to mediate the conflict and take care of the guests who were feeling unwell, he sneered inwardly: He's still as disgusting as he was in high school, no, he's even more disgusting now. He's reached the point where he has to fawn over every man he sees.

The comments section was filled with insults. Gu Linyuan sneered. He knew his grandfather was lying to him. Xu Fan was like a rat wherever he went.

He was prepared to continue watching Xu Fan make a fool of himself, but as the video progressed, the comments about Xu Fan gradually changed.

Although there are still criticisms, the number of comments praising him is increasing.

After watching the live replay from the second day, why did the guests' attitudes towards Xu Fan change?! Lin Ke's eyes no longer held disgust for Xu Fan, and Xu Fan gradually got along well with the guests.

After watching the replay of the third day, everyone's attitude towards Xu Fan had completely changed. Not only adults, but also children were always surrounding Xu Fan. What puzzled him the most was why so many people in the comments were calling Xu Fan "wife". They must not have understood Xu Fan's true nature.

Gu Linyuan frantically checked the comments. Many people in the comments section were shipping couples, putting photos of Xu Fan with other guests together. He looked up the meaning of shipping couples online.

After understanding the situation, he wondered if these viewers were crazy. Why would they act this way? Why would they like seeing two men together? Why would they like homosexuality? Don't they find it disgusting? Shouldn't they be discussing and condemning it?

After watching the program, Gu Linyuan slumped into his chair, utterly exhausted, his thoughts suddenly drifting back to a long time ago...

He had just started high school and arrived at the classroom early to register when suddenly a thin, gloomy figure appeared in the class.

The man carried a worn-out schoolbag, had long hair, and was hunched over. His clothes were covered in patches. Gu Linyuan saw him walk to the seat next to the person in front of him and try to sit down, but the person shooed him away in disgust.

"Why don't you sit somewhere else? I prefer a cleaner place."

After speaking, he looked the small, thin figure up and down.

He didn't say anything, but silently changed seats several times, only to be asked to leave each time.

Although he also felt that this person didn't seem very particular, he also felt sorry for him, as he was ostracized as soon as he arrived at the school.

"Hey, can you sit next to me?" he said to the person.

The man looked up slightly, a surprised smile on his face: "Thank you!" He then sat down beside him.

Later, the homeroom teacher did not rearrange the seats, and that person became his deskmate. That person's name was... Xu Fan.
