My childhood sweetheart, who was reborn with me, ended up as a loser.

After waking up from a nap, Xu Qingfan returned to the city from the countryside and became the famous city boy he once was.

Although he hasn't given any interviews for several days, news coverage of him hasn't decreased at all; on the contrary, he's appeared in more newspapers and the articles about him have become longer.

The reason is simple: this week is National Day.

Xu Qingfan's interview on October 1st has been rebroadcast every morning since it aired on Pearl River Channel, and the ratings for each rebroadcast are quite impressive.

Xu Qingfan's advantage of using Mandarin during the interview that day immediately became apparent. Other TV stations saw this and applied to rebroadcast the interview. After the first one took the plunge, more and more local stations joined in.

Filial piety, talent, and respect for great figures—these three qualities are incredibly outstanding in today's world; in modern terms, they represent the definitive answer.

Countless middle-aged and elderly people became fond of Xu Qingfan after watching the television program, and thus took the initiative to buy newspapers to learn more about him.

After print media discovered that writing about him could boost sales, more and more newspapers joined in. If they couldn't interview him, they would interview his classmates, neighbors, and even kindergarten teacher Xiaoyu benefited from his fame.

"All the other children wet the bed and their pants, but Xiao Fan has never wet his pants in the three years he's been in kindergarten!"

"Xiao Fan is also very polite. He always greets the security guard and the cleaning lady with 'Hello, Uncle' and 'Hello, Auntie' whenever he meets them."

"Near graduation, all the boys in our class accidentally ingested desiccant. Luckily, Xiao Fan discovered it in time and ran to find the teacher, which prevented an accident!"

How to describe Xu Qingfan? The more you dig into his early life (0-6 years old), the more interesting it becomes. He is confident but not arrogant, mischievous but not naughty, humble but not self-deprecating.

The worst thing I've ever done in my life was when I encountered a red ant nest, I took off my pants and peed inside. I guess no guy could resist that, right?

Xu Qingfan really wanted to thank Lin Jing, because her guidance from childhood prevented him from becoming an internet celebrity who became famous for no reason in his previous life and then quickly backfired.

Here, we must specifically mention a certain extraordinary person who eats twenty-six eggs every day.

...

"Aunt Zhang!!"

"all!"

At 3 p.m., Xu Qingfan finally met Zhang Chunxue and Zhang Yiyi, whom he had been longing to see, at Lin Wanning's house.

Xu Qingfan ran to hug Zhang Chunxue, Lin Wanning ran to hug Zhang Yiyi, and Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to watch, so she simply didn't come over and stayed home to sleep in.

As soon as Zhang Yiyi got out of the car, she saw her brother and Wan Ning running towards her. Overjoyed, she blurted out without thinking, "Brother!"

The smiles on Lin Wanning, Xu Qingfan, and Zhang Chunxue's faces vanished instantly, followed by even brighter smiles.

"all!"

"Yi-yi called him 'brother'!"

"Yi Yi called Qingfan 'brother Qingfan'!"

Zhang Yiyi covered her mouth in surprise, only to realize that she had just broken the seal. Then, she was hugged by Wan Ning and her brother, one on each side.

Zhang Yiyi's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled happily, revealing her teeth.

"One, one!"

Xu Qingfan and Lin Wanning called her name rhythmically, and Zhang Yiyi swayed to the rhythm. Soon another seal was broken, and when she opened her mouth, she actually made the sound "yi" in her throat.

"Yi-yi, Yi-yi... Yi-yi!" Zhang Yi-yi joined in, her shouts growing louder and clearer.

Normally, Zhang Chunxue would have already raised her camera to take pictures, but she didn't at this moment. She covered her mouth with her hand, quietly turned her body to the side and pretended to play with her phone, not daring to let the children see that she was crying.

It turns out it really works; stress really can be released gradually. It's just that her previous methods were wrong...

The three people's shouts quickly attracted the people inside the house. Zhang Yiyi's maternal grandparents were also at home today, along with her uncles, aunts, and other close relatives.

It's probably because everyone wanted to have one last small get-together before the National Day holiday ended.

Zhang Chunxue walked over to greet her parents, brother, and sister-in-law, and quietly shared what Yi Yi had just said. Everyone who was curious about what had happened suddenly had tears in their eyes.

Xu Qingfan and his companions had heard about the children before and had even watched the television interviews, but seeing the three children playing happily at this moment was far more shocking than the interviews they had seen on television in recent days.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt!"

"Hey everyone, come in and have a seat!"

"Um!"

Xu Qingfan led Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi over to greet everyone. Before Yiyi arrived, he and Wanning had already visited each other and exchanged greetings, so there was no sense of unfamiliarity among them.

Everyone returned to the living room and sat down. Lin Wanning shared his joyful Mid-Autumn Festival experience with Zhang Yiyi.

Zhang Yi sometimes smiled faintly, and sometimes opened her mouth wide in surprise, her eyes sparkling. When she heard something exciting, she would respond with a "gurgling" sound.

Zhang Yiyi's two uncles both married and had children late in life. Her two cousins, one in kindergarten and the other in kindergarten, sat down together to listen to their older sister Wanning tell stories.

"Gurgle!"

Occasionally, a few uneven "gurgling" sounds would echo from the living room.

Everyone was talking in hushed tones, their attention focused on Zhang Yiyi and Lin Wanning.

Xu Qingfan suddenly remembered a point of view, which was that people cannot live too happily, otherwise even God would be jealous. It is probably similar to the principle that water overflows when it is full and the moon wanes when it is full.

But that doesn't seem right either. If her uncle hadn't had that accident, Yi Yi would have lacked her parents' company during her childhood, just like Yan Lili in the cartoon, who wasn't very happy either.

On the other hand, the two villainous sisters, although ugly, had a very happy childhood.

Zhang Chunxue suddenly patted him, and Xu Qingfan stopped his random thoughts and tilted his head in confusion.

Zhang Chunxue smiled at him and pointed to the backyard.

Xu Qingfan immediately understood that she had a secret to tell him. Hehe, let's go tell Auntie a secret!

"Auntie took Yi Yi to the hospital for a follow-up check-up this week. The doctor said that Yi Yi was reluctant to speak because she was under pressure. As long as she can release the pressure in her heart, she will get better."

"I thought about it and realized that I might have been anxious before. Although I didn't force Yi Yi to speak, my expectations might have put pressure on her."

Upon hearing that they were talking about serious matters, Xu Qingfan quickly sat up straight. After listening, he nodded and said, "That must be it. No wonder Yi Yi couldn't say 'brother' before, but she did just now."

Fortunately, Lin Wanning started chatting with Yi Yi as soon as they entered the house; otherwise, Xu Qingfan would have called out "brother" to Yi Yi a few more times, which would have caused trouble.

"Yes, that should be it. In any case, Auntie still wants to thank Xiao Fan very, very much!" Zhang Chunxue kissed him, reached out and pulled him onto her lap, resting her chin on the top of his head.

Xu Qingfan was touched, but he didn't dare to move: "Um... Auntie, you don't really need to worry about this. Wan Ning and I will guide Yi Yi slowly. There's no need to rush."

"Okay, Auntie won't worry about Yi-yi anymore, she'll worry about Xiao-fan instead," Zhang Chunxue said with a smile.

Fortunately, "操" is followed by "心", otherwise it would have been extremely rude.

Xu Qingfan felt a little uneasy sitting on Zhang Chunxue's lap. He wanted to get off, but he couldn't bear to.

I'm so conflicted.

"If Xiao Fan wants to improve his family's financial situation, he doesn't need to wait for the book to be published. He can take advantage of the current popularity and accept a few suitable male leads."

Zhang Chunxue kept her word and indeed started to take care of him.

"Want to get a GG?"

"Will anyone ask me to pick up guys? How much money can I get?"

Xu Qingfan knew that becoming famous would allow him to get a girlfriend, but he never expected it to happen so quickly.

"That depends on what kind of business you're working for. If it's children's health products, with your current level of fame, Xiao Fan, earning three million or even more a year shouldn't be a problem."

"However, Auntie doesn't recommend you date these kinds of guys, because most health products are fake. There's an idiom called 'draining the pond to catch all the fish,' Xiao Fan, you understand that, right?"

Given Xu Qingfan's maturity when chatting with her, Zhang Chunxue didn't treat him like a child and spoke the truth.

"Wow, so many!" Xu Qingfan exclaimed in astonishment.

In his previous life, he considered himself financially free because after buying a car and a house, he still had one or two million in savings, which totaled just over three million.

But this is three million in 2006. With a little investment in stocks and shops, he could easily become a billionaire after he turns eighteen. And according to Aunt Zhang, three million is just the beginning.

"What's wrong, Xiao Fan? Are you tempted?" Zhang Chunxue looked at him with a smile.

If Xu Qingfan were truly moved, Zhang Chunxue would definitely use her personal connections to make him back down. In her heart, Xiaofan was a peerless gem that should not be stained.

"No, not at all. I listen to three women the most in my life: my mother, my godmother, and Aunt Zhang!"

"I would never touch anything that Aunt Zhang says is bad!" Xu Qingfan said righteously.

Zhang Chunxue laughed so hard she almost fell over, while Xu Qingfan, sitting on his aunt's lap, felt as if he were in a small, rocking boat.

"Auntie recommends that Xiaofan take on some gigs in the clothing, stationery and school supplies categories. For example, Xiaofan should know about BBK e-reader, right? Auntie knows their CEO, and Xiaofan's image is very suitable for their brand image."

Xu Qingfan knew all about BBK e-readers. The phrase "Point to where you don't understand, and Mom won't have to worry about my studies anymore" was something that any Chinese millennial or Gen Z person who hadn't heard of could be treated as a spy.

What makes it even more famous is its later group business split, which resulted in three separate entities: vivo, OPPO, and Xiaotiancai children's watches.

"Auntie, what did you do for a living before? How come you seem to know everyone?"

Xu Qingfan was more curious about this than how much the GG fee would be.

"My aunt's job used to be... similar to selling electrical appliances. They manufactured the appliances, and my aunt would sell them," Zhang Chunxue said succinctly.

"Oh, I see, Auntie is a distributor!"

"Um."

Zhang Chunxue smiled. Although the agent couldn't accurately summarize her business, it wasn't that different; they were all middlemen.

Zhang Chunxue made her first fortune by trading stocks during her university years. It didn't require any special skills; it was purely because she had a lot of insider information, so I won't go into details.

After graduating from university, the couple, with their keen business acumen, took charge of two projects: SDVD and Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone service), and established complete sales channels in major provincial capitals.

If Zhang Yiyi's father hadn't had that accident, their next step would likely have been to expand into a nationwide chain of home appliances and eventually list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Unfortunately, the accident happened too suddenly. Zhang Chunxue's ambition was severely damaged. She lost her drive and sold off all her businesses. In the end, she returned to her family with only a cold, ten-figure sum in her bank account.

"By the way, Auntie, you know a lot of people, do you know anyone who farms crayfish? Here's the thing..."

Xu Qingfan started by recounting the day Xiaoyu brought crayfish to their door, and how his mother wanted to sell crayfish for late-night snacks but struggled to find a source of supply. So, sensing a business opportunity, his mother persuaded his uncle to switch to crayfish farming.

"Our mother has a good eye. Crayfish has become very popular in Hubei, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in recent years. Our province is also a major province for late-night snacks. If we can cultivate people's habit of eating crayfish, we can probably support a market worth more than one billion yuan in a few years."

Xu Qingfan felt that the term "our mother" sounded a bit strange, but he also knew that Aunt Zhang didn't mean anything by it; it was just something that happened in the heat of the moment.

"You don't need to worry about this, Xiao Fan. Auntie will inquire first and then contact Xiao Fan's mother, just saying that Xiao Fan asked me for help," Zhang Chunxue said with a smile.

"Godmother, please don't do this. I'm not the kind of person who just randomly chooses a godmother!"

Zhang Chunxue was stunned for a moment, then laughed even louder after realizing what was happening. Xu Qingfan was once again like a small boat caught in the turbulent waves.

"Hehehe, Xiao Fan, how can you be so cute!" Zhang Chunxue cupped his face and rubbed it.

Maybe this is karma. Xu Qingfan often rubbed Yi Yi's face like that, and now he's getting "revenge" from her mother.

Lin Wanning quickly finished sharing yesterday's joy with Zhang Yiyi, and the two of them ran over to him hand in hand. Xu Qingfan finally escaped his aunt's "clutches" and returned to the beautiful young girl's embrace.

"Be careful, watch where you're going, and don't run too fast!"

Zhang Chunxue watched the three people run away hand in hand, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

She felt that Xiao Fan was not only helping Yi Yi get better, but also helping her "get better". Chatting with Xiao Fan for a while was more effective than chatting with the top psychologists in the country.

And it's much more useful!

"Okay!" The three voices drifted back from afar, then disappeared again, having gone off to play somewhere else.

Actually, we didn't go anywhere to play; we just visited Zhang Yiyi's room upstairs.

Xu Qingfan lay down on Yi Yi's bed as usual. It was so comfortable, and there was still Aunt Zhang's lingering fragrance on it. He didn't want to get up.

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi took off their shoes and lay down on either side of him.

"Hehe, Brother Qingfan~"

"Wan Ning!"

"elder brother!"

Xu Qingfan's pupils dilated in shock. After calming himself down, he also turned his head and called out, "Yi Yi!"

"elder brother!"

"Brother Qingfan!"

"Eh!"
