Chapter 203 Xiao Ji actually went downstairs to buy food himself?
Ye Fan remained calm as he watched the girl's eyes fill with immense joy and unbelievable tears.
The reason he was so "generous" was simple: during those two hours in the yacht room, he saw the glaring and undeniable bloodstain on the bed sheet.
This surprised him greatly at the time.
He had always thought that Qin Kun arranged for "fast-food" social companions, but he never expected that this would be her first time.
This unexpected discovery made him feel that spending that million might not have been too bad.
At least, it does justice to this "purity".
Of course, only he knows his deeper thoughts.
"Go back and get some rest." Ye Fan's voice pulled her back to reality from her huge surprise.
"Um...um! Thank you, Young Master Ye!" Chen Chulin's voice was choked with emotion. She looked at Ye Fan deeply, her eyes filled with complex emotions, including gratitude, awe, and perhaps a budding feeling that she herself was not fully aware of.
She pushed open the car door and walked unsteadily toward the school gate, unable to resist glancing back at the Audi A4 that had blended into the night.
Ye Fan, inside the car, merely nodded slightly to her before driving away without a trace of lingering affection.
Chen Chulin stood at the school gate, the night breeze caressing her slightly flushed cheeks.
The notification message about the million-dollar sum on the phone screen was like a boulder thrown into a still lake, stirring up ripples everywhere.
The future seems to have been completely rewritten at this moment.
......
The next day.
Since I had no classes in the morning, I spread out a detailed map of Nanjing on my desk.
He held a red pen, his eyes focused, the pen tip tracing the map.
Accompanied by a soft rustling sound, the area that holds the greatest potential for appreciation in the next few years will be remembered: the core business district's radiation zone, the vicinity of excellent school districts, the planned subway lines, and the vicinity of emerging technology parks.
Each one was precisely outlined with a red circle.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting soft shadows on his focused profile.
Although he had billions in cash, enough to live comfortably for several lifetimes, Ye Fan never lost the sense of "being prepared for danger in times of peace".
But he never gave up on the idea of buying a house, not to live in it himself, but as the last line of defense he had planned for himself.
Because housing prices will reach their peak in the next seven or eight years, even if your business faces great risks at that time, you will always have this liquidated property as a last resort.
Even if the business eventually goes bankrupt, he can still live a carefree life as a landlord.
This is not unfounded worry, but rather a sense of prudence deeply ingrained in his character.
It wasn't until noon that Ki Woo-ho finally took a shower. He dried his hair halfway, changed into clean and neat clothes, and even sprayed on some refreshing cologne.
He then went downstairs to buy food and brought it back himself.
Ye Fan looked up from the map, staring at the completely transformed Ji Yuhao, and raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Wow? Did the sun rise in the west? What happened to you...?"
Although Ki Woo-ho is short, has an eccentric way of doing things, and is very selfish.
But I have to say, she is indeed good-looking and has good taste in clothes.
Ji Yuhao said casually, "I have class this afternoon! It's Chen the Witch's class today! I heard from a sophomore that nobody dares to skip her class; if you don't show up for attendance, you fail the whole course, and even a make-up exam won't make up for it!"
His tone carried a hint of lingering fear and a rare seriousness.
Ye Fan chuckled to himself: Goodness, this little guy is so engrossed in the game all day long, yet he still has the energy to inquire about these rumors. That's rare indeed.
Ji Yuhao leaned closer, looking curiously at the map covered in red circles on Ye Fan's desk: "Hey? What did you draw? A treasure map of Jinling?"
He pointed to the red circles.
Ye Fan didn't even look up, and said calmly, "Memorize all these circles I drew; they might be helpful to you in the future."
His tone carried a subtle but unwavering certainty.
Ki Yu-ho scoffed, glancing at the map a few times: "Give me a break! Just because I memorized it doesn't mean it's mine! What a load of bull! If drawing a circle made you rich, everyone would be a billionaire!"
He didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that Ye Fan was just making a fuss.
Ye Fan smiled and didn't explain further.
It's like having a gold mine placed in front of him, but he treats it like dirt.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force them.
"Let's go, time for class." Ye Fan put away the map.
"Wait a minute, let me get a key." After finishing his military training, Ji Yuhao gritted his teeth and used his entire semester's living expenses to buy a scooter worth nearly 10,000 yuan. Right now, he was in the mood to show off.
Riding a brand-new motorcycle around the campus in 2014 was a small source of vanity for him.
Afternoon class.
The two slipped into the classroom just in time and headed straight for the last row.
Old Li and Shi Kai arrived early and saved seats for Ye Fan.
As soon as he sat down, Old Li excitedly pulled Ye Fan aside and started chatting about everything under the sun.
Ye Fan responded half-heartedly, but his mind was elsewhere.
The afternoon passed quietly amidst these banter and jokes.
......
School in the afternoon.
At the entrance of the teaching building.
Amidst the bustling crowd, Ye Fan accurately called out to Xian Zuling, who was preparing to leave alone.
"Offer sacrifices to the ancestral spirits, wait a moment."
The girl turned around at the sound of the voice, saw it was Ye Fan, and said, "Ye Fan? What's wrong?"
"You don't need to cook for me today. I'll take you somewhere." Ye Fan's tone was natural and left no room for refusal.
Xian Zuling was somewhat bewildered, but still silently followed behind Ye Fan.
The place Ye Fan brought her to was a newly opened Hunan rice noodle shop that he had seen by chance on his way back to school yesterday.
The aroma of rich, tempting bone broth and pickled cowpeas wafted from the shop entrance.
Pushing aside the plastic curtain and stepping inside, Ye Fan familiarly called out to the busy owner, "Boss, two bowls of Hunan rice noodles, please! Three extra portions of meat toppings: wood ear mushrooms with shredded pork, chicken giblets, and pork intestines, all to my liking! And extra pickled cowpeas!"
Toppings are a common addition to Hunan rice noodles, and they can be either meat or vegetarian.
Xian Zuling's eyes widened in surprise, and he blurted out, "You've come to eat rice noodles?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a clear "gurgling" sound came from her stomach.
Her face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly covered her stomach. Her eyes darted around, but she couldn't help but secretly swallow.
The aroma in the shop was so enticing; it was the taste of her hometown etched into her very being.
Soon, two steaming bowls of rice noodles, piled high with toppings, were served.
The dark broth, snow-white rice noodles, and glistening wood ear mushrooms and shredded pork, crisp and tender chicken giblets, soft and glutinous pork intestines, along with bright green scallions and bright red chili oil, are topped with a generous pile of pickled cowpeas. The dish is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making it incredibly tempting to eat.
Ye Fan pushed one of the bowls in front of her, speaking softly, "Eat up... I ordered this especially for you. It's on me."
