The Hated Character (BL)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Qianfan had a rough morning by getting wet in the rain and missing his bus. He's also getting late for his work. He had no choice but to walk for his morning job. Bet he will get flu after this since he kind of has a weak immune system.

He got late because of the novel he was reading yesterday. Qianfan found the book on a concrete lying down when he was going home. He tried to look for the owner but there was no one on the street. The book looks old and seems like it was an antique book. He first thought it was a diary or something.

When Qianfan tried to peek at it, he was shocked that it is a novel and the genre of the story made him giddy. He got excited and decided to bring it home.
He was so engrossed reading it that he didn't notice the time is already late. And oh, it's a BL novel by the way. And yes, he's a fudanshi. A gay fudanshi to be exact.

Qianfan discovered his sexuality when he realized that he was more attracted to men than women at the age of 14 years old. He likes buff—muscled men. He first thought that maybe it was just only an admiration—wishing that he wants to have a body like that, but no. Every time he saw a charming guy, especially a muscled man, he always experienced this giddy feeling like a tingling sensation in his body—butterflies in his stomach something like that. He can't name it but he likes what he was feeling. Qianfan even got scared that he may be different from others. Knowing Qianfan's conditions, he had no one to guide and educate him about it—to someone tell him that it's normal.

When he reached the restaurant he saw Xiaobie. "Hey, sorry I got late. Is Mr. Chen here?" Qianfan asked as soon as he put his things in his locker.

"He got here an hour ago. He has something to get and he'll leave after." said the latter.

Qianfan nodded in response and went out of the locker. He came to contact Mr. Chen. "Good morning, Mr. Chen!" He greeted.

"Oh, Qianfan!Good morning!" Mr. Chen greeted back happily. "You're late. Did you overwork yourself again with your other jobs?" a sound of worry can be heard in Mr. Chen's tone.

"No, Mr. Chen. I slept late because of the book I was reading." He denied it immediately.

Jia Qianfan needs to work his butt off in order to live in this shitty world. He has no parents and he grew up in an orphanage—that he soon gets away with because the owner is a fucking pervert. He noticed it when the old fart get a little touchy with him and the other kids. The old fart had this creepy perverted smile that Qianfan cannot stand. The staff under him didn't do anything about it and just feigned ignorance. Qianfan planned to run away and persuades the others to run away with him. Once the old fart and staff had gone to sleep; they set up the place on fire, making it they "accidentally" bumped into one of the candles while running away. After that, they all got split up and Qianfan lived most of his childhood in the streets and his roof was the bridges.

He worked all kinds of labour work. At the age of 15, he worked as a regular janitor in a small barbershop and in the evening he is a dishwasher from a resto. The owner was merciful enough to give him a room to sleep. It was an old storage room but Qianfan was thankful because it was the first time he got a room of his own. At the age of 19, with the money he saves from all the jobs he tried, Qianfan had his own apartment and to this day he still lives there. It was a cheap and densely crowded apartment but Qianfan have no problems with it. He's still lucky that he can afford an apartment despite his living conditions.

Now that he's 27, he worked as a regular sommelier and server in the restaurant he worked before. He got friends with the owner, Mr. Chen. Qianfan smiled. He's so thankful that he met Mr. Chen—for providing him with a room to sleep when he was young and helping him to/with (his) study. He's not gifted. He's actually quite dumb, especially in math. He hates it. Fortunately, he finished his upper secondary education. He didn't go to college as he decided to focus on his job. Mr. Chen being good-natured still accepted him to work in a higher position even though the position requires a college graduate. He's very grateful.
