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

Recently, Jiang Yichuan has been having nightmares more frequently every night.

He always dreamed of Xu Fan, dreaming of Xu Fan handing him water when they were in school and running errands for him.

I dreamt that Xu Fan was being bullied by his suitors. When I passed by, Xu Fan glanced at me with eyes full of despair and fear.

Then he would suddenly wake up, and this happened every night.

It's summer vacation now. In previous years, Xu Fan would work in Beijing for two months during summer vacation to earn living expenses for the next semester.

Jiang Yichuan would sometimes buy Xu Fan a cup of milk tea or ice cream at his workplace. This was a way of keeping Xu Fan tied down whenever he tried to get away from him, ensuring that Xu Fan would continue to be his loyal dog.

Xu Fan couldn't figure out Jiang Yichuan's unpredictable personality. He thought about how Jiang Yichuan had helped him when he started university, and wondered if he was just in a bad mood. When Jiang Yichuan was in a good mood, he was very nice to him and even gave him some milk tea.

When Jiang Yichuan was bored during summer vacation, he would tease Xu Fan by deliberately saying that he wanted to eat Xu Fan's cooking or desserts. Xu Fan was busy with work, so he had to take leave to satisfy his requests. However, if he took leave too often, he wouldn't get much money.

The meals and snacks he painstakingly prepared were either thrown into the trash or given to his cronies by Jiang Yichuan.

After finishing their meal, those cronies would jokingly say, "Young Master Jiang, your personal chef's cooking is quite good. Since you don't like her, how about giving her to me?"

Jiang Yichuan just smiled smugly after hearing this: "Then you try it and see if he's willing to be with you?"

"I dare not try, I dare not try, Young Master Jiang is still the most charming!"

……

One day during summer vacation, Jiang Yichuan sat at home, idly playing video games.

"This is pointless!" After failing for the nth time, he threw his phone aside.

Because he was very agitated, and when a person has something on their mind, they cannot concentrate on doing anything.

He slumped on the sofa, and suddenly remembered the summers in previous years when Xu Fan would run to his house, drenched in sweat, to bring him food.

Xu Fan was so hot that her clothes and hair clung tightly to her body, making her look even more disheveled, but she always smiled when facing him.

After receiving the meal prepared by Xu Fan, he would find various excuses to send Xu Fan back, never allowing the sweaty Xu Fan to rest for even a moment in his cool villa.

I haven't seen Xu Fan in a long time, it's really boring.

Most of the people who like him are after his money, but this Xu Fan doesn't want his money, and doesn't even expect to get anything from him. This is the first time he has ever met such a person in his life.

Teasing him made it even more fun for him.

Jiang Yichuan couldn't understand why Xu Fan, who had been his dog for three years, would suddenly drop out of school and leave. He had even scolded him last time. Wasn't going to school important to someone like Xu Fan? He had finally gotten into university, but he dropped out and didn't continue his studies.

What was the name of that small county that Ji Feng took him to last time? I think it was called Yu County? Since he could see Xu Fan there, he must be living there, Jiang Yichuan thought to himself.

He tidied himself up carefully, even shaved his beard, and drove to a nearby milk tea shop and dessert shop, buying their signature milk tea and desserts to put in his car.

These milk teas and desserts are bait; he wants to personally "catch" his dog back.

……

Ji Feng had been preparing for his next appearance on the show. Xu Fan's changes after taking a break from school were so dramatic. He had followed Jiang Yichuan for so long, how could he suddenly give up and even take a break from school?

Can a person suddenly come to a realization in such a short time? Moreover, during their last encounter, he saw the disgust in Xu Fan's eyes towards Jiang Yichuan. The secrets and changes in Xu Fan were like a fatal attraction, making Ji Feng unable to resist exploring them.

I originally planned to see him again on the next show, but he seems to be having trouble holding back.

Let's have a chance encounter, Xu Fan.

Ji Feng smiled. What Jiang Yichuan did had nothing to do with him. He had never bullied Xu Fan, and he had even saved Xu Fan's life. Xu Fan would remember him as her savior, right?

He didn't believe Xu Fan wouldn't go out for a day in such a small county town.

Jiang Yichuan had already driven to Yu County. There were hardly any people on the main road. He drove aimlessly, his eyes constantly searching for that thin figure.

Even after he had walked around the small county town several times, he still couldn't find a trace of Xu Fan.

Jiang Yichuan stopped the car and slammed his fist on the steering wheel. Damn it! He should have checked first!

It's not that his family lacks the ability, but his father absolutely forbids him from secretly investigating other people's specific information, saying that we live in a society governed by law and that he should be a law-abiding citizen.

At this rate, it would take forever to find it!

Suddenly, he remembered that the last time he saw Xu Fan was at... a barbecue restaurant?

He should go there and take a look.

Ji Feng was smarter. He drove straight to the barbecue restaurant, ordered some barbecue, and sat down leisurely. That way, if Xu Fan saw him, he could say that he was there to eat barbecue.

Instead of Xu Fan, his good brother Jiang Yichuan showed up.

Jiang Yichuan looked around the store as soon as he entered, but Xu Fan was not there.

Wait, isn't that his brother? What's he doing here?!

He suddenly had a bold guess: Could it be that Ji Feng was also looking for Xu Fan?

"What are you doing here?" the two asked almost simultaneously.

Ji Feng laughed and answered first, "I was the one who brought you here last time, right? I told you the barbecue here is good, so of course I came here for barbecue."

After speaking, he pointed to the barbecue on the table.

Jiang Yichuan was stunned, because he couldn't very well say that he came for Xu Fan, could he? That would be too embarrassing!

"Me too, of course I'm here for barbecue! It's all that idiot Xu Fan's fault, I didn't get to try any last time!"

He stammered slightly as he spoke, his gaze shifting unpredictably. Ji Feng sneered; he knew Jiang Yichuan too well—Jiang Yichuan was lying.

Let him think about why Jiang Yichuan came. It's probably because of Xu Fan. To be honest, he and his good brother are really in sync, coming on the same day. How can that not be considered a kind of tacit understanding?

"Perfect timing, I ordered quite a lot, let's eat together, and then we can go back and play ball to digest our food?" Ji Feng couldn't find Xu Fan himself, so of course he couldn't let Jiang Yichuan have his way.

"Great! Good buddy, you're so thoughtful!"

Jiang Yichuan let out a breath and found a stool to sit down.

The two ate the meal absentmindedly. After finishing their meal, they went outside, and Ji Feng noticed that there seemed to be milk tea and desserts in Jiang Yichuan's passenger seat.

So Ji Feng asked Jiang Yichuan in a half-joking tone, "Did you buy those milk teas? Maybe there's a girl you like here, and you bought them for her?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichuan hurriedly covered up, "Of course not! There's no girl involved! I... I saw that the sanitation workers here are working so hard, so I bought them drinks for them!"

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted."

"I've always had it!"

Jiang Yichuan breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally managed to get away with it.

Ha, what a far-fetched reason.

Would an arrogant young master like Jiang Yichuan buy food for sanitation workers? If Ji Feng was only suspicious before, now he was certain that Jiang Yichuan had come to see Xu Fan.

"Then I'll help you distribute them to the uncles." Ji Feng opened Jiang Yichuan's car door and took out the milk tea and desserts.

"...Okay!" Jiang Yichuan took a deep breath. He had gone to several stores to buy it, but before he even saw Xu Fan, he had already given it to those old men.

The men accepted the gift with smiles, praising Ji Feng: "This young man is both handsome and kind-hearted!"

Well, Ji Feng got to play the good guy!

Jiang Yichuan was filled with anger but had nowhere to vent it; he had no choice, as he himself had said.

After Ji Feng finished serving the milk tea and desserts, he and Jiang Yichuan drove away from the small county town.

I will come back again.

They both shared the same idea.

……

One day while at work, Xu Fan received another WeChat message.

He frowned slightly, thinking it was Ji Yuzhi again, but when he clicked on it, it was Lin Ke.

Lin Ke: Xu Fan, I finally have time to go out and have some fun!

It's Lin Ke!

Xu Fan was both surprised and delighted. After being apart for so many days, he had missed Lin Ke a little. However, Lin Ke had been very busy. The two would chat on WeChat occasionally. Lin Ke said that when he was less busy, he would invite Xu Fan to hang out. Xu Fan naturally agreed.

But he's busy with work right now, and there are still two days until the weekend.

Xu Fan: I'm sorry, Lin Ke, I'm working right now. How about we go out together this weekend?

Lin Ke: Ah~ I have to film a short drama again this weekend. I only have time today. Can't you come out?

Xu Fan thought about it for a moment and realized that the time to get off work was still acceptable. He got off work early and had plenty of time until evening.

Xu Fan: I get off work at five o'clock. Is it okay if I come out after get off work?

Lin Ke: Okay! I'll take you to a super delicious barbecue place!

Xu Fan: Didn't we agree on the show that I would cook for you?

Lin Ke: You've been working so hard, how could I bear to let you cook? Come on, it's my treat! Which company do you work for? I'll come pick you up later.

Lin Ke was someone Xu Fan trusted, so Xu Fan thought for a moment and told him.

Xu Fan: At the Fu Group.

Lin Ke on the other side of the screen almost spat out his water after hearing this, and he quickly typed something.

Lin Ke: You mean the Fu Group? Which Fu Group? Is your boss Fu Qingci?

Xu Fan was bombarded with three questions in a row, and thought to himself that Brother Fu was really outstanding. So many people knew about the Fu Group and recognized him.

Xu Fan: Yes.

Lin Ke: Not bad, Xu Fan! It's incredibly difficult to get into Fu's company. I know someone, a top student who graduated from a prestigious university, and he was rejected in the interview. You'd better tell me how you got in!

Xu Fan: Okay.

How did you get in? Xu Fan believed he got in through connections, but it wasn't easy to explain to Lin Ke on WeChat, so he decided to talk about it later that night.

Xu Fan was especially happy at the thought of seeing his good friends that evening. He had already eaten with Fu Qingci and Grandpa Gu. Among his friends, he had never eaten with Lin Ke.

Seeing Xu Fan's increasingly radiant smile, Fu Qingci couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

"Brother Fu! I'm going out for barbecue with my best friend tonight."

Fu Qingci narrowed her eyes slightly upon hearing this. Friend?

"Are they friends you met on the show?"

"Brother Fu, you're so smart! You guessed it right away!"

Seeing Xu Fan's happy expression, Fu Qingci stood up and quietly walked behind Xu Fan, patted the back of his head, and said in a gentle tone, "Then go home early today and have some fun with your friends."

"Really? Brother Fu, you're so kind!" Xu Fan turned around with a smile, and Fu Qingci almost couldn't pull his hand away from Xu Fan's hand that was secretly stroking him.

Fu Qingci smiled helplessly. "Fanfan, someone has inappropriate thoughts about you, and you still treat them as a friend."

According to his observation, Lin Ke definitely likes Xu Fan. He has hugged Xu Fan several times in front of the camera, and who knows how many times he has secretly hugged her off-camera!

Why? He only hugged her once! And that was while Xu Fan was unconscious.

Xu Fan, that silly boy, didn't struggle when Lin Ke hugged him, thinking it was just a hug between good friends.

Lin Ke is quite cunning; she uses the guise of friendship to touch him inappropriately every day. (Lin Ke: ...I'm innocent.)

In the moment Fu Qingci was condemning Lin Ke, he completely forgot that he himself was doing the same.

Fu Qingci let Xu Fan leave work at 4 PM, even though it was 5 PM. Xu Fan packed her things and said goodbye to Fu Qingci: "Goodbye, Brother Fu!"

"Wait a minute, I'll go down with you."

"Brother Fu, aren't you staying at the company tonight?"

"I have something to take care of when I get back."

The two got off the elevator together and walked side by side. As soon as they stepped out of the company, Xu Fan saw Lin Ke, who was dressed up beautifully and leaning against her car.

Lin Ke saw him too and waved to him: "Xu Fan, come quick!"

"Brother Fu, I'm leaving." Xu Fan turned around and waved to Fu Qingci before running towards Lin Ke.

Halfway there, he suddenly heard Fu Qingci calling his name.

"Xu Fan, come here for a moment."

Xu Fan turned his head in confusion, but since Brother Fu must have had his reasons for calling him, Xu Fan obediently went back.

Lin Ke raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.

The man who called out to Xu Fan was someone he recognized. He was Fu Qingci, the head of the Fu family who had single-handedly built the Fu Group into a great success and was also the richest man in the capital.

Lin Ke had seen Fu Qingci's blurry profile and figure in news reports. Actors have extremely keen observation skills, and he was certain that the man who called out to Xu Fan was Fu Qingci.

After Xu Fan passed by, Fu Qingci raised her hand and adjusted Xu Fan's glasses: "Your glasses are a bit crooked, and the prescription is different in different positions. This means the lens prescription you see is not right, which is very harmful to your eyes."

Xu Fan nodded blankly. So that's how it is. Brother Fu is really thoughtful.

From Lin Ke's perspective, Fu Qingci touched Xu Fan's face.

After touching him, Fu Qingci glanced at him. What did that mean?

"Go on, have fun." Fu Qingci patted Xu Fan's head again.

"Okay, goodbye, Brother Fu."

"goodbye."

This was truly goodbye. Xu Fan ran smoothly to Lin Ke's side.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Lin Ke didn't speak, but looked Xu Fan up and down, then smiled with satisfaction: "Xu Fan, you're so good-looking, you should dress like this! I almost didn't recognize you!"

"Thank you!" Xu Fan smiled a little shyly after hearing her friend's praise.

"Let's go first, we can eat and chat at the same time."

Lin Ke took Xu Fan to a barbecue restaurant. Lin Ke booked a private room. All the dishes had been served and were ready to be grilled.

As they grilled and chatted, Xu Fan explained to Lin Ke how she got into the Fu Group: "Brother Fu is Chun Chun's uncle. Because I wanted to find a job, Brother Fu made me his secretary. He was extremely kind to me."

Lin Ke asked incredulously, "The Brother Fu you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be Fu Qingci, would you? The man who just came out with you."

"Uh-huh."

So Fu Qingci is Fu Chun's uncle! No wonder this little girl has such a valuable limited edition necklace!

What's even more shocking is that Xu Fan has already called Brother Fu?!

He probably didn't know Fu Chun or Fu Qingci when the show started airing. He would have known them at least after the show ended. It's only been a few days, and he's already calling her "brother."

Moreover! Based on his intuition, Fu Qingci definitely had feelings for Xu Fan. Wasn't deliberately touching Xu Fan in front of him a way of asserting her ownership? And she even saw him as a rival in love!

He looked at Xu Fan with some heartache. Although Fu Qingci was very outstanding, he was too old, five years older than Xu Fan. He was a complete old man and was not worthy of such a pure and lovely Xu Fan.

Lin Ke suddenly noticed that Xu Fan's clothes looked familiar. They seemed to be a summer new arrival from a luxury brand. He didn't think Xu Fan had bought them himself. First, judging from Xu Fan's outfits on the show, he probably wasn't very wealthy; these clothes cost several thousand yuan each, so Xu Fan definitely wouldn't be willing to spend that much. Second, given Xu Fan's taste, he wouldn't buy clothes like these.

A suspicion formed in his mind: "This outfit...could it be that he bought it for you?"

Xu Fan nodded: "Yes, Brother Fu took me to buy them. He knew I was short on money, so he took me to a discount store. He paid for them first and will deduct the cost from my salary later. They were very cheap, and the quality was good. Many items only cost a little over a thousand yuan."

Lin Ke sneered inwardly after hearing this; this old man still had some tricks up his sleeve.

He had to let Xu Fan know about this, otherwise that old man would take advantage of Xu Fan every day. Just now he even touched Xu Fan's face in front of him. Ugh! Shameless old man!

Lin Ke's expression suddenly turned very serious: "Xu Fan, I have something to tell you."

Xu Fan nodded: "Lin Ke, you speak, I'm listening."

I think... Fu Qingci likes you!

Xu Fan's eyes widened after hearing this. He then shook his head from side to side and remembered that he was in a private room.

"Shh! Lin Ke, keep your voice down. Brother Fu could never like me. He just wants to thank me for taking care of Chun Chun."

Xu Fan understood that Fu Qingci's kindness towards him was entirely based on his care for Fu Chun on the show.

If it weren't for Fu Chun, he would never have come into contact with someone of Fu Qingci's social class in his entire life. And someone like Fu Qingci would obviously be a perfect match for those young ladies from prestigious families, so it's impossible for her to like someone like him who is useless and has no merits whatsoever.

Lin Ke sighed and rubbed her forehead. This child was too naive.

"Then why doesn't he just give you money directly? He gives you a job, buys you ridiculously expensive clothes, and even tricks you into giving him discounts."

"You're lying to me?"

Lin Ke took out her phone, searched for the brand of the clothes Xu Fan was wearing, and then handed it to Xu Fan: "There's no discount at all. These are all new styles, there's no discount here!"

Xu Fan was shocked by the price of the dress; it cost several thousand yuan.

He didn't blame Fu Qingci for lying to him; he just felt that Fu Qingci was really good to him and had made up such a lie to make him feel at ease wearing these clothes.

He decided to go home, find out the prices of all the clothes, calculate them, and then return the money to Fu Qingci after receiving his salary for the next episode.

Xu Fan still didn't believe that Fu Qingci would like him.

Seeing this, Lin Ke immediately asked Xu Fan, "Has he ever laid a hand on you?"

Xu Fan shook his head.

"You still say you didn't! I just saw him touch your head! You're both adults, why would he touch you like that!"

Xu Fan didn't really think there was anything wrong with Fu Qingci touching his head. He knew that Brother Fu usually liked to touch the top of his head or the back of his head. He regarded Brother Fu as an elder and a friend. Lin Ke had also touched his head on the show. Moreover, he sometimes thought Fu Chun was cute and would touch her head as well.

"But Lin Ke, you've touched my head too..." Xu Fan protested softly.

Lin Ke was absolutely furious. His face turned bright red, and even his foundation couldn't cover it: "That's different! The way he looked at you was weird! He crossed the line, you understand?!"

Seeing that Xu Fan still looked bewildered, Lin Ke suddenly deflated.

Forget it, why is he telling this to a child... But now that he's brought this up, Xu Fan should think about it carefully.

Judging from Xu Fan's current appearance, he is obviously clueless about love and romance. So how did the rumor that he was gay and harassed so-and-so in high school come about?

"Forget about that... Let's talk about high school. I don't think you're like the rumors at all."

Xu Fan lowered his head: "I did harass Gu Linyuan..."

After hearing how Xu Fan "harassed" her, Lin Ke was so angry that she wanted to kill Gu Linyuan and everyone who had spoken ill of Xu Fan in high school.

Is helping someone tidy their desk considered harassment? Is buying them free water considered harassment? Is fanning them considered harassment? What kind of people are these?!

Xu Fan then told him about his recent reunion with Gu Linyuan, and Lin Ke's heart remained in suspense as he listened.

When Xu Fan said that his heart ached and he felt very uncomfortable after talking with Gu Linyuan, Lin Ke clenched her fists even more. Finally, Xu Fan said that he accidentally walked next to the Fu Group and Fu Qingci comforted him and took him to the company to rest. Lin Ke's expression improved after hearing this.

Well, this old man did a pretty good job with this.
