Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 264 An unexpected encounter with two women at a barbecue stall!

Tang Yanning smiled, her eyes crinkling with a hint of smugness, her voice clear and crisp: "Ye Zi! Yi An and I saw you here, so we just paid the bill!"

She pointed to Ye Fan's table.

Pei Yi'an smiled slightly and said, "Yes!"

Ye Fan was delighted to see them and immediately said without any polite refusal, "Then you two can treat us today!"

Ye Fan wasn't embarrassed at all. He and the two girls were not only classmates for three years in high school, but also had a very good relationship. They even made a pact to apply to Nanjing University together.

However, they've all been quite busy since the start of the semester, and apart from military training, Ye Fan hasn't contacted them, even though they're all in the same school.

Tang Yanning wrinkled her nose playfully: "Ye Zi, let's go back and eat first. We just sat down and ordered, and we're starving!"

She made an exaggerated gesture of clutching her stomach.

Ye Fan naturally raised his hand and gently ruffled Tang Yanning's hair, his tone filled with familiar tenderness: "Okay, go eat quickly, don't go hungry."

After saying that, Ye Fan gestured for the three of them to return to their dormitory.

Just as Ye Fan and the other two were about to get up.

Suddenly, Ji Yuhao, holding an empty beer glass with a few drops left, darted to Pei Yi'an and Tang Yanning, plastered what he thought was his most handsome smile on his face, and raised his voice an octave: "Oh! My two beautiful classmates! Thank you so much! We can't possibly accept your payment for us brothers!"

He raised his empty glass, his gaze fixed intently on the two women, especially on Pei Yi'an, whose demeanor was more aloof and elegant: "Come on, on behalf of our dormitory, I, Ji Yuhao, must toast you both! Thank you for your generosity! I'll drink this one first, you can drink as you please!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and poured the few drops of beer at the bottom of the glass into his mouth, even smacking his lips as if he were drinking the finest nectar.

His intention was all too clear—to take the opportunity to strike up a conversation, get some drinks, and get closer to the person.

Ye Fan watched from the side, his lips twitching: You're taking an empty glass to offer a toast? Trying to mooch off the drinks on their table? That's such a slick move!

Pei Yi'an seemed not to hear or see anything, her gaze calmly passing over Ji Yuhao as if there was only a wisp of air in front of her.

Tang Yanning blinked, her smile unchanged, carrying a hint of innocence and just the right amount of aloofness, and pointed to their table: "Ah? A toast? Thank you for your kindness! But we sisters are just having a casual meal and chatting, we didn't order any alcohol."

Her voice was clear and crisp, her refusal unequivocally firm.

Ki Woo-ho's hand, holding the empty glass, froze in mid-air; he was completely petrified.

He subconsciously and involuntarily glanced at Pei Tang's table—under the table were a dozen unopened cans of beer and several empty beer bottles!

Under the light, the green label on the glass bottle is clearly visible!

"..." Ki Woo-ho looked at the bottles and then at the empty plastic cup in his hand, feeling a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been slapped several times by an invisible hand.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word, making the scene both awkward and comical.

Pei Yi'an and Tang Yanning seemed oblivious to his embarrassment, simply waving to Ye Fan again: "Ye Zi, we're going now!"

After saying that, the two turned around decisively, like two elegant swans, and gracefully returned to their friends, leaving Ji Yuhao frozen in place, and Li Yifeng and Shi Kai beside him, their shoulders shaking from trying not to laugh.

......

Although it was September, the weather in Nanjing was still very hot and humid.

After a barbecue, the four of them were drenched in sweat and sticky all over.

Back in his dorm, Ye Fan couldn't wait to take a refreshing cold shower. The icy water washed away the sweat and the smell of barbecue, and he felt completely refreshed.

He came out drying his hair, pulled out two packs of "Huazi" cigarettes from the cabinet, kicked open the doors of several boys' dormitories next to the Industrial Management Class 2, and shouted: "Come on, stop hiding and watching movies! New Year's Square, five against five, the loser buys a late-night snack! Lots of cigarettes!"

He waved the cigarette pack in his hand.

Suddenly, wails and cheers erupted from several dorm rooms, keyboards and mice clicked away, and more than a dozen heads popped out, eyes shining.

The two packs of cigarettes were quickly finished, and the dozen or so men split into two groups, roaring and fighting on the virtual "New Year's Square" map.

Gunshots, explosions, teammates' roars, and opponents' taunts echoed in the dormitory corridor, and the fierce battle did not end until after midnight.

The game is over, but the smoke of battle has not yet cleared.

"Damn it! Li Yifeng, you noob! I told you to flank us from A side road, and you were just camping in the corner like a mushroom?"

"Bullshit! Shi Kai! You promised to provide sniper cover at point B, where the hell are you? Not a soul in sight!"

"Fuck you! I got stabbed three times in the ass in the A dog hole! I screamed my lungs out and nobody came to help! You've screwed me over!"

"Damn it, a bunch of noobs! Even a dog would shake its head at this!"

"Come on, let's have a one-on-one duel! Dad will give you a live demonstration!"

...

Ye Fan was laughing his head off. In the mouths of these animals, everyone except himself was a noob.

In his team, Li Yifeng was relentlessly attacked by Xiao Ji, leaving him looking utterly hopeless.

To be honest, Lao Li's actions were truly appalling; even Ye Fan couldn't stand watching.

......

The next day.

Ye Fan, Li Yifeng, and Shi Kai went to class.

Ji Yuhao, on the other hand, was like a lump of mud, snoring loudly on his dormitory bed, completely isolated from the world.

Upon entering the large classroom, Xian Zuling was indeed sitting in her usual spot, quietly flipping through a book.

Ye Fan plopped down next to her.

She turned her head slightly, her voice barely audible, carrying a hint of expectation and a sense of accomplishment: "You... haven't come home for dinner these past two days, so I... I cooked and ate all the food from your fridge..."

Ye Fan naturally knew what she meant. Last time, he told her to remember to eat the food if he didn't come back for dinner, so as not to waste it. She did so every day, which was very good and showed improvement.

Looking at her somewhat nervous yet earnest expression, Ye Fan smiled and said, "Hmm, not bad, you've improved. Keep it up. Anyway, you have to do this every day; it's your 'debt repayment task.' I don't know when I might suddenly feel like coming back to eat here."

Xian Zuling nodded obediently.

Li Yifeng, who was sitting down, immediately took out his phone, skillfully opened the stock trading app, and stared at the sea of ​​green representing losses. He sighed deeply with a gloomy expression, "Sigh... my hard-earned money! I've scrimped and saved for so long, hoping to make a little money in the stock market to improve my life... and look what happened?"

He scratched his head in anguish: "In just one week! I've almost lost all my underwear! Damn it, if I could turn back time, I would never touch this bastard again! It's even worse than Su Luming's scam!"
