Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 473 is truly afraid of being stuffed in a sack and beaten unconscious.

That complex mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment surged up in his heart again. Xiao Ji almost gritted his teeth and asked in a sour tone:

"Brother Fan! Did Su Luming and the others really come downstairs to bring you breakfast? And Tang Yanning too? What's she doing here?"

Ye Fan yawned, looking completely bewildered as if he knew nothing, and casually made up a story:

"Huh? Breakfast delivered? I didn't know that. I didn't ask them to deliver it."

He stretched, his tone so relaxed it was irritating:

"Maybe it's for someone else? I'm not the only guy in our building."

"Give it to someone else?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Ji almost choked on his breath. The vinegar in his heart was completely overturned, and he felt so sour that his teeth itched.

Pretend! Keep pretending! Besides you, Ye Fan, which other guy in this building does Su Luming know?

And then there's Tang Yanning! Such a beautiful girl at school, usually so many people would have a hard time even talking to her, but now she's standing downstairs with breakfast in hand. If she's not here for you, Ye Fan, then who is she here for?

He was internally ranting and raving, his face flushed red, but he dared not utter a single word. He could only channel his envy, jealousy, and hatred into a resentful glare, which he fixed intently on Ye Fan.

After all, "Boss Ye's" cigarettes were his lifeline when he stayed up all night playing games, so he couldn't afford to offend him!

......

Downstairs in the dormitory building, the waiting proceeded silently in the morning light, yet the atmosphere was subtle and subtly tense.

Xian Zuling quietly lowered her eyelashes, her fingers unconsciously twisting the handle of the insulated bag, her mind as pure as a clear pool of water.

She was only concerned about Ye Fan's injury and wanted him to have a hot breakfast, completely unaware of the "storm" that the two beautiful girls beside her represented at this moment.

Su Luming wore a perfectly timed and impeccable smile, but his gaze casually swept over the elegant Tang Yanning beside him.

Alarm bells were already ringing in my mind, and I labeled this uninvited guest as an "S-level threat".

Why did she come?

What is her relationship with Ye Fan?

The question lingered, but she refrained from asking, though the air around her seemed to grow colder.

Tang Yanning stood elegantly and calmly, seemingly oblivious to Su Luming's subtle scrutiny.

Her gaze, tinged with curiosity, swept over the ancestral spirit before settling on Su Luming. Hmm, it seems quite a few people like him.

As she thought this to herself, a faint, slightly amused smile curved her lips.

Her confidence stems from a deep foundation—a special bond with Ye Fan that has lasted since high school, and her unwavering belief in her own outstanding looks and temperament.

In her view, these two people do not pose a substantial threat at the moment.

Inside the dormitory, the fighting (or rather, the acid fire) escalated once again.

Seeing the three-way standoff downstairs, Xu Bin couldn't resist any longer. He leaned closer to Ye Fan, who was brushing his teeth and had foam all over his mouth, and whispered, "Old Ye! I just confirmed it downstairs! Su Luming and Xian Zuling are after you! That Tang Yanning..."

He swallowed hard, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "She didn't say it explicitly, but her eyes and demeanor almost certainly meant she was trying to be helpful! What do we do now? She's still standing downstairs!"

Ye Fan felt a headache coming on as soon as he heard the name "Tang Yanning".

With her arrival, things will definitely get complicated, and I'll inevitably be questioned later.

Adhering to the principle of "the less trouble, the better," he gargled and mumbled to Xu Bin, "Tsk...then...go down and get it for me? Remember to thank them properly for me! The reward is a packet of lotus flowers!"

"Yes, sir!" Xu Bin's eyes lit up instantly, and his mouth stretched to the back of his ears!

Earn a pack of good cigarettes just by running an errand? And get up close and personal with beautiful women? This is a steal!

Countless wonderful images flashed through his mind: Maybe if he could become a familiar face, he could ask them to introduce him to girls in the future! The beautiful Su usually doesn't even give me a second glance, but surely she'll look at me this time?

He excitedly rushed downstairs.

A few minutes later, Xu Bin returned whistling, carrying an exquisite insulated food container in one hand, beaming with joy.

He placed the food box on Ye Fan's table, his tone tinged with reminiscence and emotion:

"Old Ye, you didn't see it! That school beauty, Tang, as soon as she saw me come down to get it, she shoved the thing into my hands, said very politely, 'Thank you for your trouble,' and then turned and left! That air about her... tsk tsk!"

He paused, then looked at Ye Fan, his eyes becoming even more gossipy and ambiguous: "As for the beautiful Su and the ancestral spirit... Su Luming only gave me the things after School Beauty Tang left, and asked me to pass on a message to you—I'll deliver them to you every morning from now on! Tell her in advance on WeChat what you want to eat!"

He imitated Su Luming's tone perfectly.

"Pfft—!" Ye Fan had just finished wiping his face when he heard this and almost choked on his own saliva.

Coming again? Delivering every day?

He could almost see himself being slowly tortured to death by the envious gazes of all the boys in the school.

Now, if I deliver it once, I'll become a "public enemy." If I deliver it every day... my leg isn't fully healed yet, and I'm afraid I'll get a sack over my head and beaten up.

He waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, alright! I know! I'll talk to her myself in a bit! Honestly."

He sighed, feigning annoyance, trying to hide his secret delight at being favored: "Why send breakfast? There are too many people in the boys' dormitory; it'll look bad and cause misunderstandings!"

Subtext: I'm afraid of being burned to death by the flames of jealousy!

However, his "getting the benefit and then acting innocent" attitude completely ignited the long-suppressed lemon volcano in the hearts of Xu Bin and Xiao Ji, who were watching from the sidelines!

The two exchanged a glance, seeing the same envy, jealousy, and resentment in each other's eyes. Almost simultaneously, they forced out a muttered phrase through clenched teeth:

"You're pretending..."

The last word was forcibly swallowed back, but the mouth shape was clear and unmistakable, and both faces were filled with the expression of "I have never seen such a shameless person".

The room smelled sour, so strong it was almost as if lemon juice were dripping out.

......

The sour smell lingered in the dormitory, but Ye Fan calmly picked up his phone.

He didn't directly ask Tang Yanning such a redundant question as, "How did you know I was injured?"—given her intelligence and connections at Nanjing University, finding out this would have been a piece of cake for her.

He simply sent a message: "Soup received, thank you."

There were no excessive pleasantries or explanations; it was as if everything was understood without words.

After sending the message, he opened the insulated bag with its elegant bamboo pattern without any qualms, and sure enough, inside was a heavy insulated container.

The moment you unscrew the cap, a familiar, warm steam with a unique herbal fragrance wafts out!

Ye Fan's eyes lit up instantly.
