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, “Initially, I had a good impression of you.”
Qi Bufan raised his eyebrows slightly but did not say anything.
Tong Jiao added, “I think you look very serious and strict. Coincidentally, I’ve 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.”
As a veteran fan of novels, Tong Jiao’s eyes sparkled when she mentioned this persona. She glanced at Qi Bufan, and the light in her eyes dimmed a little. “But novels are just novels after all.”
“In the novel, the Uncle dotes on the Lolita and indulges her in everything. He’s cold to others but gentle to the Lolita. He abstains from sex outside, and act like a wolf at home…”
Tong Jiao’s 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, “But Uncle, you’re different. You’re 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.”
“But you didn’t!” Tong Jiao’s resentment was deep. “I only touched you a few times, yet you still bear a grudge and want to chase me away!”
The more Tong Jiao spoke, the angrier she became. “No, no. I have to go to XX Academy to give that author called Dige a bad review. He almost misled my view of love…”
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, “That girl likes you. The way she looks at me is like the love rivals in novels.”
Tong Jiao shook her shoulders as if she had seen a ghost in the middle of the night. She said, “It makes my back feel cold.”
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.
“Why did you change nurses?” she asked Qi Bufan.
Qi Bufan said, “I’m a man after all. It’s still not convenient for Miss Tong to take care of me.”
When Dai Chukong heard this, her reaction seemed calm. She said, “That’s true.” 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 brother’s 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, “Chukong, do you read novels?”
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, “What novel do you like to read?”
Dai Chukong’s expression became even more awkward.
“Huh?” Qi Bufan raised his head and looked straight at Dai Chukong. “Are you embarrassed to say it?”
Dai Chukong said, “You wouldn’t understand even if I told you. It is the kind you haven’t seen before.”
Qi Bufan said, “How do you know I haven’t 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 Yusheng’s novels.”
“Don’t young people like to read novels?” 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. “Don’t be embarrassed. I won’t laugh at you.”
Dai Chukong’s lips twitched and she said very softly, “We’re looking at different types.”
“How is it different?” Yesterday, he had heard Tong Jiao mention something about an uncle and a loli’s 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. “Domineering romance.”
He was a little puzzled.
Domineering romance?
What was that?
When Dai Chukong left at night, in order to understand his daughter’s 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, someone’s 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, “You’re already ready to sleep. Bufan, why aren’t you sleeping? If you’re not sleeping, I’m going to sleep. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
Qi Bufan said: [I have a question to ask.]
Fang Yusheng: [Speak.]
Qi Bufan: [What’s an overbearing romance novel?]
Qiao Jiusheng: [!]
Fang Yusheng: […]
Qiao Jiusheng said: [Oh, why is Bufan interested in such a novel?]
Qi Bufan: [I just want to understand Chukong’s hobbies.]
Fang Yusheng: [Amazing. You’re 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: [“Black-hearted Prince’s Concubine”, “Black-hearted CEO’s mute wife”…]
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 Bufan’s bombing message.
[Chukong, why do you read such novels?]
[Don’t you think it’s 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?]
[Let’s talk about this one. I clicked on this book called “He’s So Charming” and only read two chapters. I suddenly want to poke my eyes out.]
[Screenshot.jpg.]
[Look at the content. It’s 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 nanny…] 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: [That’s ridiculous. She doesn’t have good morals. The female lead is too humble!]
Dai Chukong: [I’m the author.]
Qi Bufan: [… Are you joking?]
Dai Chukong: [Author’s screenshot.jpg]
Qi Bufan enlarged the screenshot and saw the content clearly. It was really a screenshot of the website’s author. He was instantly annoyed.
Dai Chukong: [I’ve earned some money over the years and bought a house myself. I earned it by writing a book. By the way, this ridiculous book you’re 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?
