Tong Jiao only had a good impression of Qi Bufan. It was not love at all.
She was not a shameless person. Since Qi Bufan had already said so, if she still chased after him, she would be cheap.
Tong Jiao took a deep breath and said frankly, âInitially, I had a good impression of you.â
Qi Bufan raised his eyebrows slightly but did not say anything.
Tong Jiao added, âI think you look very serious and strict. Coincidentally, Iâve been quite obsessed with uncle and loli relationships recently, especially those serious and strict uncles. You especially fit the setting of those uncles in novels.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As a veteran fan of novels, Tong Jiaoâs eyes sparkled when she mentioned this persona. She glanced at Qi Bufan, and the light in her eyes dimmed a little. âBut novels are just novels after all.â
âIn the novel, the Uncle dotes on the Lolita and indulges her in everything. Heâs cold to others but gentle to the Lolita. He abstains from sex outside, and act like a wolf at homeâ¦â
Tong Jiaoâs words stunned Qi Bufan.
What kind of misleading novels were these?
When Tong Jiao compared the man in her imagination to the Qi Bufan in reality, she immediately felt disappointed.
She gave Qi Bufan a disdainful look and said, âBut Uncle, youâre different. Youâre really serious and cold. A novel is a novel. According to the plotline of a novel, when you were sick, I took care of you. When you woke up and saw such a cute and delicate me, you should have been cold on the surface but secretly passionate on the inside and think of ways to tease me.â
âBut you didnât!â Tong Jiaoâs resentment was deep. âI only touched you a few times, yet you still bear a grudge and want to chase me away!â
The more Tong Jiao spoke, the angrier she became. âNo, no. I have to go to XX Academy to give that author called Dige a bad review. He almost misled my view of loveâ¦â
......
Tong Jiao muttered something Qi Bufan did not understand and walked out with the basin.
When she reached the door, Tong Jiao suddenly turned around and looked at Qi Bufan.
Qi Bufan looked at her questioningly.
Tong Jiao suddenly said, âThat girl likes you. The way she looks at me is like the love rivals in novels.â
Tong Jiao shook her shoulders as if she had seen a ghost in the middle of the night. She said, âIt makes my back feel cold.â
Qi Bufan was speechless.
The next day, a new male nurse came for duty.
At around six in the afternoon, Dai Chukong got off work at the television station and went straight to the hospital. When she saw the male nurse in the ward, Dai Chukong was a little surprised.
âWhy did you change nurses?â she asked Qi Bufan.
Qi Bufan said, âIâm a man after all. Itâs still not convenient for Miss Tong to take care of me.â
When Dai Chukong heard this, her reaction seemed calm. She said, âThatâs true.â However, she was overjoyed.
Great, that little vixen had finally left. She had long disliked that little vixen. She kept using her eyes to strip her brotherâs clothes, which annoyed her.
As Qi Bufan ate the pineapple honey Dai Chukong bought, he thought of something and suddenly lowered his head to ask Dai Chukong, âChukong, do you read novels?â
Dai Chukong was stunned. She looked a little guilty, like a rat whose tail had been caught.
She let out a soft hum.
Qi Bufan did not notice her and asked, âWhat novel do you like to read?â
Dai Chukongâs expression became even more awkward.
âHuh?â Qi Bufan raised his head and looked straight at Dai Chukong. âAre you embarrassed to say it?â
Dai Chukong said, âYou wouldnât understand even if I told you. It is the kind you havenât seen before.â
Qi Bufan said, âHow do you know I havenât read it? I read novels when I was young. When we were in high school, we also read online novels. I remember reading Liang Jian, Jin Yong and Liang Yushengâs novels.â
âDonât young people like to read novels?â Qi Bufan tried his best to act the role of an amiable and understanding foster father. He asked Dai Chukong about her book-reading hobby. âDonât be embarrassed. I wonât laugh at you.â
Dai Chukongâs lips twitched and she said very softly, âWeâre looking at different types.â
âHow is it different?â Yesterday, he had heard Tong Jiao mention something about an uncle and a loliâs novel. Qi Bufan had developed a strong interest in online novels today. When he found out that Dai Chukong also liked to read novels, he was curious about her interests.
Dai Chukong stuttered for a long time before Qi Bufan understood what she was saying. âDomineering romance.â
He was a little puzzled.
Domineering romance?
What was that?
When Dai Chukong left at night, in order to understand his daughterâs hobbies more deeply and have more topics to talk about in the future, Qi Bufan opened WeChat and looked for Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng.
They had a family group chat. In the group chat were Auntie Jin, Qiao Jiusheng, Fang Yusheng, Qi Bufan, and Chi Baoguang. These were all people who had stayed in Mansion Number Nine. The group chat was called Mansion Number Nine.
Late at night, someoneâs message popped up in the group chat.
Qi Bufan: [Is anyone there?]
Ten seconds later, Aunt Jin appeared and sent a voice message.
Qi Bufan clicked on the voice message and heard Auntie Jin say, âYouâre already ready to sleep. Bufan, why arenât you sleeping? If youâre not sleeping, Iâm going to sleep. Letâs talk tomorrow.â
Qi Bufan said: [I have a question to ask.]
Fang Yusheng: [Speak.]
Qi Bufan: [Whatâs an overbearing romance novel?]
Qiao Jiusheng: [!]
Fang Yusheng: [â¦]
Qiao Jiusheng said: [Oh, why is Bufan interested in such a novel?]
Qi Bufan: [I just want to understand Chukongâs hobbies.]
Fang Yusheng: [Amazing. Youâre doing this in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. A grown man reading such a novel⦠Ah Sheng, tell him a few titles and let him refresh his worldview.]
Qiao Jiusheng: [âBlack-hearted Princeâs Concubineâ, âBlack-hearted CEOâs mute wifeââ¦]
As soon as he saw the names of these novels, Qi Bufan knew that these were not proper novels.
Qi Bufan found the novels recommended by Qiao Jiusheng and read them patiently.
Late at night, Dai Chukong took a shower and put on her nightdress. As soon as she climbed into bed and lay down, she picked up her phone and saw that there were more than ten messages on WeChat that she had not read. They were all from Qi Bufan.
She clicked on it curiously and saw Qi Bufanâs bombing message.
[Chukong, why do you read such novels?]
[Donât you think itâs strange?]
[Look at this website. There are so many such books. Any one of them will contain this kind of plot. Why do these girls degrade themselves so much? The men are already scumbags. Why do they still love each other so much?]
[Letâs talk about this one. I clicked on this book called âHeâs So Charmingâ and only read two chapters. I suddenly want to poke my eyes out.]
[Screenshot.jpg.]
[Look at the content. Itâs too ridiculous. The male lead has already brought the female supporting character into the house, yet the female lead is still willing to be their nannyâ¦] He skipped dozens of words of explanation.
Dai Chukong finished reading the message and replied to Qi Bufan: [Do you think this author is spouting nonsense?]
Qi Bufan: [Thatâs ridiculous. She doesnât have good morals. The female lead is too humble!]
Dai Chukong: [Iâm the author.]
Qi Bufan: [⦠Are you joking?]
Dai Chukong: [Authorâs screenshot.jpg]
Qi Bufan enlarged the screenshot and saw the content clearly. It was really a screenshot of the websiteâs author. He was instantly annoyed.
Dai Chukong: [Iâve earned some money over the years and bought a house myself. I earned it by writing a book. By the way, this ridiculous book youâre talking about has already been signed to comics and television dramas.]
Qi Bufan did not say anything. He just looked at the screen quietly, wanting to chop off his cheap fingers. However, in the next second, Dai Chukong sent another sentence, which shocked Qi Bufan so much that he almost fell off the bed.
Dai Chukong: [I forgot to mention that this novel has a prototype. The male lead is you, and the female lead is me.]
Qi Bufan: [???]
Was he that bad?
