Chapter 39: Dorae-fan

Because Dad Qi and Mother Wei were still coming over for dinner that night, so the two didn’t continue to be naughty. From the master bedroom on the second floor, Qi Zhifan led Wei Han downstairs to the kitchen.

Wei Han saw with one look that the kitchen utensils were almost all new. Compared to the small apartment he used to live in, this place was particularly clean and tidy, but cold and unfriendly, lacking a home’s atmosphere.

Qi Zhifan rarely cooked for himself, and Young Master Qi said that he wouldn’t eat anything other than egg fried rice. It wasn’t that he couldn’t learn, but that he was too lazy to learn. Qi Zhifan, who placed money above all else, didn’t want to waste time cooking.

Wei Han was still very clear on this point.

After rummaging through the meat and vegetables in the plastic bags, Wei Han smiled and nodded. “Not bad. Odd Trouble, you’re quite filial: you’ve bought a lot of the vegetables that mom and Uncle Qi likes to eat.”

Then, Wei Han rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands and prepared to cook when Qi Zhifan called him to stop, “Wei Han, wait.”

“What’s up?”

“I have something to give you.”

Soon, Qi Zhifan took out a lacy and meng apron with Doraemon printed on it.

Wei Han: “......”

Gosh, Qi Zhifan seemed to be getting stranger and stranger, this girlish heart...

Qi Zhifan slightly hooked his lips. This could be considered as him giving a small surprise to Wei Han. From the time he’d started living here, he’d already planned on having Wei Han also live here later. This was the house he’d bought for himself and Wei Han, their “home”.

Now that the other owner, Wei Han, had finally come in, their two-person home was also complete. Starting from today, he’d let Wei Han cook for him everyday, cook for him for a lifetime.

Seeing Wei Han still hadn’t taken it yet, Qi Zhifan said, “What are you blanking out for? Quickly put it on. Or do you want me to help you?”

“No...no need.” Helpless, Wei Han could only obediently put it on.

Although he would like to refuse, but the cartoon character on it was his favorite Blue Fatty. Plus, Qi Zhifan must have prepared it in advance, so Wei Han also didn’t want to disappoint his intentions.

While Wei Han was cooking, Qi Zhifan supported from the side, helping him to wash and cut up the vegetables, beat the eggs, and so on.

“Eh, Odd Trouble, you really aren’t going out?”

In the previous two years when they were still living together with Dad Qi and Mother Wei, Wei Han also cooked food for them almost everyday, but he had never seen Qi Zhifan take the initiative to enter the kitchen to help him because Qi Zhifan quite disliked the smoky smell and greasy feeling of the kitchen.

Qi Zhifan shook his head. “I’ll accompany you.”

“Oh,” Wei Han faintly responded and lowered his head, beginning to cook. He was a little embarrassed, and a little more than a hint of sweetness seeped into his heart.

During the process, Qi Zhifan quietly observed Wei Han’s serious appearance when cooking, and also silently noted the steps he took to cook each dish, plotting something else in his mind.

At 7 o’clock in the evening, Dad Qi and Mother Wei came over. A family eating this dinner joyously and harmoniously was quite perfect and satisfying.

After dinner, Dad Qi and Mother Wei talked with their two sons for a while. They didn’t plan to spend the night and would drive back soon after.

“Han-han, I can tell that Fan-fan’s mood is much better today than before. Since you’re living here now, then you as the older brother need to take care of him well and must not bully him,” before leaving, Mother Wei warned him again.

Wei Han wryly smiled. “Mom, I’ve said many times already that I really don’t dare to bully him.”

“Mhm, you two brothers must be kind and love each other,” said Mother Wei with a brilliant smile.

Sending away Dad Qi and Mother Wei, Wei Han recalled Mother’s Wei smile just now and couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. Wei Han was clear that his mom’s way of thinking had always been simple and pure. If she knew that their relationship had changed, he didn’t know what would happen.

The next day, Wei Han, scared and on edge, went to the police station.

Everyone didn’t say anything on the surface. As usual, people laughed and called out to Wei Han, but inevitably, there would be some gossipers whispering and discussing behind his back. They hadn’t expected that the seemingly dim-witted Wei Han would have a terrible backer hidden up above.

“Silly Han, I finally meet you in person.” When he saw Wei Han, Jiang Chengrui smiled, his two small tiger teeth suddenly appearing.

Wei Han nodded. “Little Jiang, did you go to Pei Yuyang’s place yesterday?”

Jiang Chengrui waved his hand, his head beginning to hurt again. “Ai, don’t mention that pervert. He was definitely premeditating a murder. I just came in the door when I was almost crushed to death by his family’s black pig.”

Wei Han: “......”

“Right, Silly Han, Leader Lu asked you to go see him when you come back. He’s waiting in the office.”

When this remark came out, Wei Han’s nerves immediately stretched taut and he asked in a low voice, “Leader Lu, he...how is he feeling today?”

“He was expressionless, so I can’t tell what his mood was,” Jiang Chengrui said, strongly patting Wei Han’s shoulder, “Go, Silly Han. Wishing you good luck.”

Wei Han took two deep breaths and then knocked on the door. After getting permission, he went in with his head hung down. He was a little afraid to look at Sergeant Lu directly.

Putting aside the records of some theft cases collected by the police, Sergeant Lu looked up at Wei Han for a moment and casually asked, “Hearing what our Commissioner Liu said, you went to save someone that night?”

“Commissioner Liu? Save someone?” Wei Han was stupefied and his eyes turned. “S...sort of.”

Thinking of Qi Zhifan’s uncomfortable appearance that night, if he hadn’t shown up, he somewhat didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.

“And it was also to save the Financial Bureau Chief Qi’s nephew?”

Sergeant Lu’s slightly sarcastic tone made Wei Han tense up from head to foot when he heard it. He nodded helplessly and his head hung even lower.

“Little Wei, it looks like you really have a background.”

“I’m sorry!” Wei Han suddenly shouted, and he immediately made a ninety-degree deep bow.

“Leader Lu, I promise that this will absolute not happen again next time. Although I wasn’t disciplined by those above, but I feel very apologetic in my heart. Please properly punish me!”

The bottom of Sergeant Lu’s pupils flickered with surprise and his fingers knocked on the table twice. “Good, after everyone gets off work, you will stay to clean.”

Wei Han was silly. “Clean? Aren’t there special cleaning aunts who do this?”

“In a moment, I’ll inform them that they don’t have to clean today. You are responsible for doing their work. Little Wei, you first need to mop clean the first floor office hall. Our office and the night duty room also need to be properly cleaned, and especially the toilet: it must be brushed clean!

After you finish, you will run thirty laps around our building. You mustn’t be lazy in the middle. You can go home after you’ve finished running. What, pretty light, right?”

“Uh...”

Looking at Sergeant Lu’s mouth pulled out into a cruel smile, Wei Han stayed for a few seconds and finally resigned himself to nodding.

“One, two, one! One, two, one!”

Past 7 o’clock in the evening, Wei Han was still running around the building.

In fact, when he ran the first ten laps, Sergeant Lu was still supervising. But not a while later, his wife called and urged him to hurry home for dinner. Sergeant Lu agreed and then gave Wei Han a profound look.

Seeing Wei Han already drenched in sweat and his tired appearance, he also didn’t want to deliberately make thing difficult for him anymore, so he quietly left.

At this kind of time, a normal person would be lazy, pretend to run for two more laps and quickly sneak away, or else they’d take a short rest and continue. But Wei Han didn’t stop, even if he was breathing heavily.

“Wei Han, what time is it? Do you want to starve me to death?”

Wei Han was startled when Qi Zhifan’s voice suddenly came. He looked up and saw the gloomy-faced Qi Zhifan.

Wiping the sweat on his face and waving weakly at him, Wei Han squeezed out a smile. “Wait...wait a while for me, wait...wait until I finish running and then we’ll go back.”

Qi Zhifan secretly cursed, walked over and pulled Wei Han. Wei Han’s steps stopped.

“Go home.” Qi Zhifan glared at him.

Wei Han weakly said, “But I haven’t finished running yet...”

“You’re so damn stubborn!” The veins on Qi Zhifan’s forehead jumped. Why did he have to endure this kind of idiot?

Wei Han scratched his head and didn’t dare to say anything.

“Forget it, I’ll run with you.”

“Hey, Odd Trouble, can you run with low blood sugar? What if you run and fainted again?”

Qi Zhifan: “......”

Fuck! It’d been more than two years ago. Could it be that this fool’s impression of him was still stuck on that evening when he was chased by the bull in the countryside?

Pulling out a sneer, Qi Zhifan said, “Wei Han, are you going to run or not? Do you believe that if you say one more word of nonsense, tonight in bed, I’ll let you see who faints first?”

Wei Han face reddened and promptly pressed shut his lips.

Qi Zhifan accompanied Wei Han to finish the remaining ten laps and the two returned home. After opening the door to his room, Wei Han was completely stunned.

When Wei Han went to the office to work during the day, Qi Zhifan found someone to re-decorate Wei Han’s room. At this moment, it’d completely become a robotic cat theme room.

The whole room was blue and white, and there were several posters of Doraemon on the wall. The bed furnishings were all related to Doraemon, what mattress, quilt, pillows, and so on, but also a large doll on the bed, and an easy chair placed next to the table.

“......” Wei Han’s mouth was gaping. Staring blankly for a long time, he suspected: was Qi Zhifan somehow stimulated?

“How is it? Like it?” Qi Zhifan asked. Adapting to his taste, this was also a surprise he’d prepared for Wei Han.

“Dang, Odd Trouble, are you sure this isn’t a children’s room? And, even if I like Blue Fatty, but this...isn’t this too dreamy?”

“Isn’t this your taste?”

Wei Han immediately shook his head. “No no no, now brother’s taste has already become very good! This won’t do, I have to sleep in a different room.”

“Then you can only sleep in my room.”

Qi Zhifan’s voice hadn’t fallen when Wei Han suddenly closed the door with a bang, hiding inside in the blink of an eye.

“......”

Qi Zhifan’s face was a bit distorted.

Evening in Wei Han’s room.

Covered with a Doraemon quilt, Qi Zhifan and Wei Han were lying in bed together, the posture of the two men quite ambiguous.

Qi Zhifan’s two hands were around Wei Han’s waist, holding him tightly from behind, and his head was also buried in Wei Han’s neck. Also, one of his legs was just stuffed between Wei Han’s two thighs, always rubbing, intentionally or otherwise.

Since Wei Han refused to sleep in his room, he could only be thick-skinned and stick to Wei Han like a leech, even though this room was a bit “dreamy”.

He saw that Wei Han was nervously clutching the quilt and also hadn’t turning his head to look at him. His face was buried in the pillow all along and his body was still shivering slightly. Qi Zhifan swatted his butt. “Don’t tremble. I won’t eat you.”

Before, you clearly and mercilessly ate! Wei Han didn’t believe it. And whenever Qi Zhifan spoke, the exhaled heat always agitated Wei Han, making his ears turn redder and redder.

Qi Zhifan kneaded his butt again. “Do you still have a little pain here? That night, I saw you crying and screaming.”

These words were really said without a bit of shame!

Wei Han, who completely felt that he no longer had an elder brother’s dignity and had completely lost his face at this moment, only nodded with a muffled voice.

Although two days had passed, but that night was his first time after all. Affected by the drug, Qi Zhifan didn’t lubricate him. He’d used his fingers to flip and stir and expanded the opening for a while, but when he actually entered, it was still painful to death. Wei Han felt as though his lower half was rip apart. In addition, afterwards, Qi Zhifan had so rampantly and violently stormed in like seizing a city, but also went back and forth quite a few times.

Oh god, he had kind intentions to help him cope with it, but he hadn’t really expected that he’d be pressed down to become a shou.

“Well, you can rest assured that I won’t make a move on you these few days.” Words finished, Qi Zhifan slowly pulled open Wei Han’s hand that had been tightly clutching the quilt in nervousness, and then gently held it.

Wei Han’s heartstrings vibrated, and then he only felt that there was a thread of warmth that slowly seeped into the bottom of his heart. He also held Qi Zhifan’s hand in return.

This was the warmth that he’d never felt before in his past life with Little Yao. It was no longer a unilateral effort, but a bilateral, sincere and honest warmth from both sides.

“Odd Trouble, do you know why I like Blue Fatty?” Looking at the Doraemon poster on the wall, Wei Han suddenly smiled and asked.

“Isn’t it because you’re stupid?”

“......” The smile on his lips became a bit stiff. Wei Han bumped Qi Zhifan with his elbow. “I’m talking to you seriously.”

“Why?”

Wei Han heaved a sigh and his expression suddenly became heavy. “Ai, my dad died when I was twelve years old. At that time, only my mom took care of me and my grandmother. It was really a difficult time...”

While the other children had new clothes, new toys and so on, Wei Han didn’t have them at all. He was both foolish and stupid, so was also often bullied. Wei Han didn’t want Mother Wei and grandmother to worry, so what wrongs and what tears were all restrained in his heart, and it also slowly became a habit to keep the peace. Over time, this formed into this kind of frightened and foolish character that would also do a pile of stupid things.

In fact, Wei Han still had some things that he didn’t said: that is, if he hadn’t been reborn, then he would also have to face Mother Wei’s death. He’d always remembered that when Mother Wei died of illness in the hospital, there weren’t even comforting relatives by his side, and only the doctors and nurses had said a few words of comfort.

Talking about it, Wei Han rather mockingly laughed at himself, “Heh, when I was a little kid, I liked to watch Doraemon cartoons, and I also envied Daxiong. ^[1] He always had Blue Fatty by his side. Blue Fatty has a magical hundred treasures pocket that had everything you could ever want and could make all your wishes come true.”

After listening to Wei Han’s long narrative, Qi Zhifan couldn’t help but hold him tightly and whispered in his ear, “Wei Han, although I don’t have a magical hundred treasures pocket, but I’ll try my best to help you realize your wishes in the future.”

“......” Wei Han was stunned and his heart was moved again. He turned to face Qi Zhifan. Then, he laughed and teased, “Heheh, then from now on, you’re my ‘Dorae-fan’.” ^[2]

Qi Zhifan face was drawn out: “......”

What the hell was this name?

“Dorae-fan, why are you unhappy?” Wei Han smirked and poked Qi Zhifan’s face with his finger, feeling that the face was practically burning hot.

Qi Zhifan suddenly caught Wei Han’s mischievous finger and reached out to turn off the lamp. “Shut up, so unpleasant to hear to death. Hurry up and sleep.”

“Odd Trouble, haha, are you being shy?”

“If you won’t sleep, I will fuck you.”

“You hoodlum!”

The next day, Wei Han was in the dating forum and sent a private message to “Six Hot”.

Stomach Very Hot Very Hot Ah?Six Hot, I’m living together with my brother now, thank you!?

Notes

1. Daxiong: Chinese name of the main character in Doraemon

2. Dorae-fan (??a?): The ‘fan’ used is the character for ‘trouble’ and not for Qi Zhifan’s name.
