Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 287 I'm taking in homeless girls

He slammed the wine case down on the floor in the entryway, and without even changing his shoes, rushed in, touching and looking at everything while making clicking noises.

"Damn! I almost forgot you're a top student, and the school even gives you a private apartment! This is your first time here, I need to sneak in a little secret!"

Ye Fan helped Shi Kai take some of the barbecue and teased, "Young Master Li, the stock market has been crashing for so many days, and you still have enough to treat us? Looks like even a starved camel is bigger than a horse!"

"Get lost! Why bring up something you shouldn't be talking about!"

Upon hearing the words "stock market," Li Yifeng's face instantly fell, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "I'm in negative equity right now! Do you understand?! This meal is on Boss Shi! I'll do the hard labor!"

He pointed to the heavy box of Urumqi beer.

Ye Fan smiled knowingly, took out his campus card from his wallet, and casually tossed it to Li Yifeng: "Here, take it. There's probably about two thousand left in there. Use it sparingly, it'll be enough to keep you from starving this semester."

Li Yifeng caught the meal card, his grief and indignation instantly replaced by surprise, but he still retorted, "Damn it! What are you going to eat then? Starve?"

Ye Fan shrugged, his tone relaxed: "Eating with a beautiful woman is fine. Don't worry, I won't go hungry."

Li Yifeng: "They're utterly shameless."

Ye Fan: "Don't give it back to me!"

Li Yifeng's expression immediately changed, his smile becoming incredibly obsequious as he carefully slipped his meal card into his pocket: "Hehehe, got it! Brother, got it! Eating with beautiful women is great! Eating with beautiful women takes skill! It proves our Boss Ye is incredibly powerful! Brothers admire us!"

He exaggeratedly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed.

Ye Fan laughed and cursed, "Get lost! You shameless jerk!"

Li Yifeng chuckled and continued his "tour".

He strolled to the bathroom door on the first floor and noticed a towel on the sink that was clearly a girl's towel with a small floral print. It was obviously not Ye Fan's!

"Holy crap! Old Ye!" Li Yifeng exclaimed as if he'd discovered a new continent, turning around abruptly. Pointing at the towel, a lewd, suggestive smile spread across his face, as if he'd discovered the ultimate secret of the universe. "You better confess! Did you bring a woman in to stay here?"

Ye Fan was placing the barbecue bag on the table when he heard this. Without even looking up, he replied, "Yeah, what's wrong? Is it not allowed?"

"Holy crap! Really?" Li Yifeng and Shi Kai, who had just put down his beer, both widened their eyes at the same time, with Shi Kai even perking up his ears.

Li Yifeng rushed up to Ye Fan, his gossip-loving temper flaring: "Quick, tell me! Who is it?! Is it Su Luming? I knew you had a thing for Su, the class beauty! Being close to her makes it easy to get what you want!"

Ye Fan looked at him like he was an idiot: "Who told you that bringing a woman in to stay means you're having an affair? What kind of logic is that? I'm just taking in a homeless girl, okay?!"

Li Yifeng was speechless: "Damn it, only an idiot would believe this kind of nonsense. Tell me quickly, who is it? It can't really be Su Luming, can it?"

Ye Fan: "Offering sacrifices to the ancestral spirits."

"Who?"

Holy crap!!!

Two exclamations rang out simultaneously!

Li Yifeng's expression instantly changed from gossip to horror, his mouth agape as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Shi Kai was also completely dumbfounded, and almost dropped the beer in his hand.

Shi Kai was the first to react, looking at Ye Fan with a complicated expression. After a long pause, he blurted out, "Brother Fan, I didn't expect you to really like this kind of thing! Your taste is truly unique! I admire you!"

His eyes were filled with the admiration that "Brother Fan is indeed Brother Fan, he doesn't follow the usual path."

Li Yifeng slapped his thigh in anguish, "Old Ye! Brother! Did you lose too much money in the stock market and get too worked up? It can't be like this! It really can't be! The ancestral spirits...she...sigh!"

He had a look that said, "A good cabbage has been eaten by a pig." Although the metaphor was a bit inappropriate, at this moment, in his mind, Ye Fan's behavior was simply a suicidal attack on his own aesthetic sense.

Ye Fan watched the two men's fascinating expressions and chuckled inwardly: Just wait and see who's the real idiot when they find out the true face of the Ancestral Spirit.

He was too lazy to argue with them about the "appearance" of the ancestral offering. While arranging the skewers on a plate, he explained, "What are you thinking! Can't you think more healthily? I just brought her here to eat! This place has several rooms; she can stay in an empty room if she wants. It's not like she's sharing a room with me! What kind of lewd garbage is in your heads?"

He pointed to the kitchen: "You all know her family's situation; they're struggling financially and can't even afford decent food in the cafeteria. I have the means here, so I'll have her cook for me as rent, and she can also eat something nutritious. Is there anything wrong with me, as the class monitor, helping her out?"

Ye Fan rolled his eyes at them: "Forget it, I can't explain it to a bunch of bumpkins like you."

After hearing this explanation, Li Yifeng and Shi Kai exchanged a glance, suddenly realizing what was happening, and their faces showed understanding and a hint of shame.

So that's what happened! Brother Fan was doing a good deed! It was a misunderstanding!

"Ahem! Um... Brother Fan, you're so generous!" Shi Kai scratched his head sheepishly.

"Exactly! Old Ye, your level of awareness is something I'm ashamed of!" Li Yifeng immediately seized the opportunity, rubbing his hands together. "But speaking of which, it's good to have food! When do we eat?"

Ye Fan, too lazy to deal with his quick change of expression, pointed to the kitchen: "Alright, stop joking. Old Li, aren't you always bragging about your title of 'Little Prince of Sichuan Cuisine'? There are ingredients in the fridge, hurry up and make a couple of hearty dishes to go with your drinks! Shi Kai, open the bottles and wash the glasses."

He picked up his phone: "I'll make a call and ask Xian Zuling and Su Luming to come over too. It'll be more lively with more people."

Upon hearing that he was to demonstrate his culinary skills, Li Yifeng immediately perked up. He rolled up his sleeves, strode confidently into the kitchen, and shouted, "Alright, today Dad will show you what the 'Little Prince of Sichuan Cuisine' really means! I guarantee it'll be so spicy you'll cry for your parents but still want more!"

Ye Fan walked to the window and dialed Su Luming's number.

"Feed? Ye Fan?" Su Luming's voice came from the background of the bustling commercial street.

"Yes, it's me. Where are you?"

"I just got to the shopping street, about to buy something to eat. What's up?"

"Don't buy anything, come to the Bamboo Grove Courtyard. It's the professors' residence by the lake, the one with a bamboo grove in front. Xian Zuling is there too. You know the way, right?" Ye Fan said succinctly.

Su Luming was clearly taken aback: "Bamboo Forest Courtyard? Xianzu Ling is here too? You..." Her tone was filled with confusion.

"Yeah, you'll see when you get here. I'll be waiting for you." Ye Fan didn't explain further.

"Oh... okay, I'll look for it." Su Luming hung up the phone with a belly full of questions.

After hanging up the phone, I called Xian Zuling again to tell her that she could come over.
