Chapter 15 A Little Apple
Cao Yue fell into a coma and was sent to the hospital.
Once again he dreamed that the world he lived in was a novel.
He is a supporting role, a "villain" used as nutrients for the male protagonist's growth.
In his dream, he returned to his childhood.
The six-year-old was squatting on the beach, staring blankly, and was pelted with stones by a group of children:
"He's a fool! Bah! Don't play with fools!"
"Stupidity is contagious! Beat him to death!"
"Yes, beat him to death!"
Because he was autistic, he was regarded as a fool by other children of his age. When his mother arrived, he curled up on the beach and dared not move.
Cao Yue's father was a soldier and died when he was one year old.
Because he suffers from autism, his mother had to quit her job and look for famous doctors for him.
At that time, my uncle was studying abroad, starting his own business, and trying to find a way to survive. The only source of income for their family was from my grandparents.
In order to treat his illness, his grandparents accepted rehire and returned to work.
His mother took him to seek famous doctors everywhere and accompanied him as he grew up.
Finally, when he was nine years old, he made a splash in a mathematics competition.
When Cao Yue was 10 years old, a gas explosion occurred in his home. His grandparents and mother were all killed, but he survived because he was at school.
That year, my 24-year-old uncle was kidnapped by foreign criminals because he developed a high-tech chip, and there was no news of him for three years.
Little Cao Yue was adopted by Grandpa Wang, a friend of his grandfather, because he had no family.
Grandpa Wang is a lonely man with no family.
Little Cao Yue and Grandpa Wang depend on each other. He gets up early every day to go to the cafeteria to get breakfast for Grandpa Wang, and takes the initiative to read the newspaper to Grandpa Wang before going to school.
He tried hard to be a good and sensible child so as not to become a burden to Grandpa Wang.
When he was 13 years old, Grandpa Wang passed away. Then his uncle came back and took him away.
In the next two years, with the encouragement of his uncle, he began to teach himself robot programming, participated in various competitions, and even won the championship in the international group of the robot competition.
No matter who you are, you will think that he has unlimited potential. Even he himself believes that he will become a technology giant like his uncle in the future.
But all this beauty was ended by Zhu Youwei!
Zhu Youwei was born in a wealthy family. Although he was not a genius, his qualifications were not bad. With his own hard work and diligence, he ranked among the top in his studies.
But he was unwilling to be suppressed by Cao Yue all the time, so he started to "plunder" him with his golden finger.
Zhu Youwei's golden finger can "mark" people. According to the golden finger marking rules, only one main supporting role can be marked at a time, starting from the lowest supporting role.
In other words, Villain No. 3 is marked first, followed by Villain No. 2 and No. 1.
Zhu Youwei chose him for the first time and marked him as "Villain No. 3".
After he is labeled as "Villain No. 3", he will walk towards the labeled personality and thus start to have bad luck.
Every time he envied Zhu Youwei, his wisdom points would be deducted and he would become dumber.
After one semester, his grades plummeted and he went from being a genius prodigy to an ordinary person.
After falling from the altar, she was suppressed by Zhu Youwei in every exam, and the negativity in her heart was infinitely magnified by Zhu Youwei's golden finger.
Not only that, as a villain who will harm society in the future, he will have a particularly tragic life experience.
As a result, the people closest to him began to have bad luck!
My uncle, who already had mild anorexia, suddenly suffered from worsening symptoms and soon after, he starved to death.
My uncle was just skin and bones when he died, and his death was very tragic.
His uncle's partner took away his company, resulting in Cao Yue not inheriting much property.
The property left to him by his uncle was enough for him to live a good life for the rest of his life.
But because he was "marked", he became addicted to gambling, squandered all his family fortune, and things got out of control.
The talented young man's academic performance plummeted and he failed the high school entrance exam.
Zhu Youwei's success made him degenerate into a "villain", gained all his wisdom, and he was admitted to the best university in the country. He joined the graduate project team in his freshman year and was in the limelight for a while.
Cao Yue lived a life of wandering around in society. Because of his alcoholism, he became more and more stupid, his weight soared to 200 kilograms, and he became a bully.
Upon learning that Zhu Youwei was living a life of luxury, he kidnapped Zhu Youwei's girlfriend Liu Ruyu, and was eventually shot dead by the police, ending up in poverty.
In the dream, Cao Yue also learned about Xue Qi's origins.
He also knew that he was awakened because he ate Xue Qi's "happy food".
Zhu Youwei's damn golden finger, in order to develop his iconic character, aggravated his uncle's illness and caused him to starve to death.
Why?
Why should he be Zhu Youwei's tool?
Why should I become a person's nourishment?
Why should his outstanding uncle be starved to death?
Just because you are not the protagonist, you deserve to be unlucky?
…
Cao Yue woke up from his dream, sat on the hospital bed and gasped for breath, his whole body was wet.
He thought of the dream he had just had, and he was still shaking and gasping for breath.
"Are you feeling better?"
Xue Qi stayed by his bedside and handed him a peeled apple. "Your uncle has gone to get you admitted. The doctor said you're overtired, so just get some rest."
Cao Yue reached out to take Xue Qi's apple and smelled an enticing fruity fragrance.
Cao Yue: As expected, her hands are blessed with buffs! The apples she peels are especially sweet.
Cao Yue's throat felt dry and burning. The apple Xue Qi handed over was peeled, and the kernel was beige. When he took a bite, a crisp "crunch" sound exploded in the room, and the sweet juice overflowed, filling his mouth with an especially rich fruity aroma.
This apple is so delicious. It is the best apple he has ever eaten, bar none. The sweet juice seems to be alluring.
He held the apple and took several bites, stopping only when his throat was no longer dry.
Xue Qi carefully looked at the young man in front of him and asked him, "Cao Yue, do you feel that there is something different about yourself?"
She didn't know what would happen after the villain in the book awakened, and looked at Cao Yue who was eating an apple with curiosity.
The young man stared at Xue Qi blankly, choking a little.
If it weren't for Xue Qi's "happy food", he would still be kept in the dark.
At this time, Cao Feng and others walked in from outside.
Xiaowen bought some daily necessities for hospitalization, and Cao Feng had just completed the hospitalization procedures.
Xiao Wen kept rambling, "Brother Xiao Yue, you're studying too hard, aren't you? You've worked yourself to the point of fainting. You're the most involuntarily scrambled high school student! You almost scared us to death. It's a pity for Sister Qi's meal. I didn't even eat a single bite. woooo..."
Cao Feng poured him a glass of water: "Do you feel better?"
Cao Yue looked up at his uncle.
Ever since my uncle started working at the Happy Food Store, his weight has been increasing at a visible rate. He finally has the spirit of a normal person, is not as morbidly thin, and his appearance has also improved.
Cao Yue thought of the ending in his dream where his uncle starved to death and suppressed the urge to cry.
"Cao Yue? Are you okay?"
Xue Qi's gentle voice sounded above his head: "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go home and make it for you and bring it over."
Cao Yue looked at Xue Qi and excitedly grabbed her hand: "Sister Qi..."
Xue Qi was puzzled: "Huh?"
Cao Yue's Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed back what he wanted to say: "I want to eat fermented bean curd meat...is that okay?"
Xue Qi smiled: "Of course. Then wait, I'll go back and make it for you and send it back soon."
After leaving the ward, Xue Qi happily made a video call to Qin Tiantian, wanting to see if there were any subtitles appearing above the little girl's head and how much her luck value had increased.
Cao Yue has awakened, so the little girl’s luck should have increased a lot, right?
Although it was already night, Qin Tiantian was still training with her phone locked in the locker.
Although no one answered the phone, it did not affect Xue Qi's mood.
She put her cell phone back in her pocket, humming a little tune, feeling wonderful.
…
After Xue Qi left, Cao Yue grabbed Cao Feng's sleeve, tugged it, and asked him, "Uncle, how long will you stay at the Happy Food Store?"
Cao Yue learned through a dream that Xue Qi was not from this world, and the reason her cooking could awaken him was because she had a buff.
This is a romance novel, and the male protagonist will change because of the changes of the female protagonist.
Xue Qi is currently the most sober and unaffected person in this world.
If Xue Qi becomes the heroine, won’t the hero also change?
If Xue Qi married his uncle and became his aunt, his uncle would naturally become the male protagonist of this world.
By then, wouldn’t he be the protagonist’s nephew?
If my uncle Cao Feng became the male protagonist, he could not only escape the ending of starvation, but he could also escape that damn ending!
Wonderful!
Cao Yue gave a thumbs up to his own wit!
He is indeed a genius!
He was able to think of such a brilliant way to break the deadlock!
Cao Feng didn't know why his nephew asked this, so he replied, "I'll go back after the New Year."
Cao Yue pressed him: "Can't you stay a little longer? Sister Qi cooks so delicious."
Cao Feng: "I have my own work. If I want to eat, I can ask Assistant Tang to go to the store to buy it."
He is a workaholic, and his early experiences have caused him to have an aversion to food and mild anorexia.
Working at the Happy Food Store was, on the one hand, a way of following the doctor's orders to do light labor, and on the other hand, it stimulated my appetite and helped me regain my health.
On the other hand, he was really curious about how Xue Qi made such tempting food and whether he used any special additives.
Now his doubts have been resolved and he is no longer curious about the Happy Food Store.
As his body is recovering, Assistant Tang can go to the Happy Food Store every day to purchase the three meals a day.
He has his own job and it is impossible for him to spend every day in the Happy Food Store just because of a momentary liking.
However, he actually likes this job of washing dishes, it is very stress-relieving.
Cao Yue asked him, "Don't you have any feelings for Happy Food? Didn't you give Sister Qi a million in tips for her videos because you like her? Didn't you ask the company to buy the food court because you had a crush on Sister Qi?"
Cao Feng was puzzled. "I gave the tip only because I was grateful for Boss Xue's food, which had a therapeutic effect on my illness. I bought the street because I saw the commercial value. Fengkai Group doesn't trade on sentiment."
Cao Yue was speechless and even began to get anxious: "Uncle, Sister Qi is so beautiful and cooks delicious food, have you ever thought about pursuing her? Marry her and make her my aunt? Let her cook delicious food for you for the rest of your life?"
Cao Feng said seriously, "Cao Yue."
His voice was not loud, but very powerful.
The boy was so frightened that he sat up straight instantly.
Cao Feng taught her, "Marriage is about love, not exploitation. I respect Boss Xue. If I want to eat her cooking for the rest of my life, I can just buy it. If I marry her just because I like her cooking, it's unfair to her, and to me too. Cao Yue, your mother and grandmother are both women. I hope you will respect women, not objectify them."
Cao Yue: "No, little uncle, listen to me... If you don't marry Sister Qi, and she gets married to someone else, she won't cook anymore, and your illness gets worse and relapses, what will you do if you starve to death?"
Cao Feng frowned: "Even if I starve to death, I must respect women. Cao Yue, where is the upbringing your grandmother and mother gave you?"
Cao Yue: "Uncle, you misunderstood me. Sister Qi is beautiful and capable. You——"
Cao Feng placed the cup of water heavily on the bedside table with a thud. "Cao Yue!"
Cao Yue was shocked. It was the first time he saw his uncle lose his temper.
He wanted to cry but had no tears.
Help! What kind of straight man is my uncle?
My uncle has the qualities of a domineering president, but he doesn’t have the personality of a domineering president!
Can’t we learn about the forced love in domineering president literature?
When he thought about it carefully, it made sense.
My uncle must be disgusted with the fact that Xue Qi has been married and has a burden!
After all, which normal man who has never been married would like a divorced woman?
This stubborn and picky uncle is really going to kill him!
In order to escape a tragic ending, he must make Xue Qi his aunt!
Go! The miserable genius boy!

At the same time, on the other side.
Zhu Youwei, who was doing his winter vacation homework at home, suddenly received a golden finger prompt:
[Cao Yue is off the mark, and your punishment is to become the last one and gain 30 kilograms! ]
