Chapter 339 Don't move, robbery!
After Ye Fan returned to the bedroom, he couldn't help but feel a wave of lingering fear.
Luckily, he ran fast.
Otherwise, with Ning Xiangtian's expression just now, even if he didn't die, he would have lost a layer of skin.
"Was it really necessary?"
Ye Fan sat in front of the computer, muttering to himself: "It's not like I did it on purpose…"
Saying this, his own confidence wavered.
Putting himself in the other's shoes, if it were him encountering such a thing, his reaction probably wouldn't be much better.
Sleep, sleep~~~
......
The next morning, the wind outside the window whistled.
Rarely, a fine drizzle was falling, and the outdoor temperature had also dropped significantly. Perhaps Father Sun saw the earth had been dry for too long and needed some moisturizing.
In the bedroom.
Ye Fan frowned slightly, slowly opened his eyes, sat up and stared blankly at the light rain drifting outside the window, his consciousness roaming the void.
After a while, his thoughts returned.
Ye Fan picked up his phone to check the time; it wasn't even seven in the morning yet. After getting dressed and finishing his morning routine, it was exactly seven o'clock. After leaving the bedroom, he headed straight for the dining room.
After all, living here, eating and drinking for free every day, without doing some work, Ye Fan felt really quite embarrassed.
So, he planned to wake up early every day from now on to cook meals.
As soon as he walked into the dining room and saw Lan Xi's busy figure, Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh lightly.
"Sister Lan, you're up so early?"
Hearing the voice, Lan Xi turned around, surprise showing on her face, "Xiao Fan, breakfast isn't ready yet, you'll have to wait a bit."
"No rush."
Ye Fan waved his hand, walked to Lan Xi's side, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Sister Lan, how about I take care of breakfast from now on?"
"Hmm?"
Lan Xi stopped her actions. She understood the hidden meaning in Ye Fan's words, a gentle smile appearing on her face, "Xiao Fan, don't overthink it, just stay here with peace of mind. How could Sister Lan let a big boy like you cook?"
"Alright then."
Ye Fan didn't insist further. While Lan Xi was cooking, he set the tableware and tidied up the dining room hygiene along the way.
Lan Xi looked at Ye Fan bustling about, the smile in her eyes growing richer.
This boy is really quite good. If Xiao Xi marries him in the future, she should be very happy…
Thinking of this, Lan Xi couldn't help but drift off slightly, causing the egg in the pan to burn. The smell of burning instantly filled the entire dining room.
Ye Fan frowned, looked up and called out, "Sister Lan, what's burning?"
"Ah?"
Only then did Lan Xi react, quickly turning off the fire. Looking at the blackened egg in the pan, she couldn't help but smile wryly to herself.
She hadn't made such a basic mistake in many years. For a moment, her expression appeared somewhat awkward.
"I zoned out just now, it's nothing."
Lan Xi changed the subject, saying: "Xiao Fan, did your uncle say anything too harsh last night?"
"No, no!"
Ye Fan, who was mopping the floor, hurriedly shook his head, his face full of apology, "I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have disturbed you and Uncle's rest so late."
Lan Xi naturally could hear the deeper meaning in Ye Fan's words, blushed slightly, and pretended to be calm, saying: "It's fine. By the way, was there something you needed to find your uncle for?"
"Actually, it wasn't anything very important."
Ye Fan put the mop away, explaining: "I'm quite interested in superconductor research. Some time ago, Uncle and I had an agreement, if Xiao Xi and I could get full marks in the college entrance exam, Uncle would assign me a research lab and related equipment."
"Last night, I looked for Uncle just to ask about the research lab."
"Superconductor research?"
Hearing this, Lan Xi looked puzzled, "What is superconductor research?"
"Superconductivity is…"
Ye Fan paused, raised his finger to point at the egg in the pan, "Sister Lan, you should probably cook first. Superconductivity is quite complex, simply put, it's zero electrical resistance."
Lan Xi nodded with partial understanding, surprised, said: "Xiao Fan, I didn't realize, not only are you very talented in studies, but you're also interested in scientific research. The Genius List really suits you. When you become a big shot in science and technology in the future, don't forget your Sister Lan, okay."
"Sister Lan, you flatter me, I'm just dabbling in research randomly, there's still a lot to learn."
Facing Ye Fan's humble words, Lan Xi smiled and didn't say anything more. She didn't take this matter too seriously in her heart either.
An eighteen-year-old boy, what could he possibly research?
It's just a hobby!
Just then, Ning Xi rubbed her eyes and walked into the dining room. Seeing Ye Fan and her mother chatting, she secretly made a hushing gesture towards her mother, silently came up behind Ye Fan, stood on her tiptoes, and while Ye Fan was unprepared, covered his eyes.
The girl deliberately roughened her voice, "Don't move, this is a robbery!"
Little did she know, even when she deliberately roughened her voice, it still sounded very pleasant.
Smelling the familiar fragrance, the corners of Ye Fan's mouth lifted, "Xiao Xi, what are you robbing? I have no money, only myself. How about I give my whole self to you?"
"I don't want it!"
Hearing this, Ning Xi immediately let go of Ye Fan, a captivating blush rising on her delicate, fair little face. She secretly glanced at her mother, saying in a small voice: "Mom is still here, what nonsense are you talking?"
"It's fine, it's fine."
Lan Xi waved her hands with a broad smile, "Just pretend I don't exist, continue, continue."
Ning Xi: "…"
Ye Fan looked dotingly at the girl in front of him, gently tidying her slightly messy fine hair. In front of Lan Xi, he had no thought of avoiding suspicion whatsoever.
"Xiao Xi, your hair is quite long, find some time, how about I help you cut it shorter?"
The intimate action made Ning Xi's face burn. Only when she saw her mother turn her back to cook did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief, gave Ye Fan a white eye roll, and pouted: "No, do you know how hard it is for a girl to grow her hair long? Besides, do you even know how to cut hair?"
"I do."
Ye Fan answered quite straightforwardly.
He indeed knew how to cut hair, and moreover, his skill was quite good.
In his previous life, whenever he encountered troubles at work, he would go to a barbershop to be an apprentice for two days for free. Since he didn't want wages, the barbershop owner was very willing. Over time, he skillfully mastered the craft of haircutting.
Once, he even joked with Ning Xi that if one day he reached rock bottom, he could still rely on this skill of haircutting to earn a hot meal.
"Liar."
Ning Xi looked down at the fine hair scattered before her, muttering in a small voice: "I don't want to cut my hair, it won't look good after cutting."
"Who said?"
Ye Fan pulled Ning Xi and pushed her down onto a stool, "Be a bit more confident, even if you had no hair, you'd still be the most beautiful girl in the world, bar none."
Ning Xi pouted her lips, "Isn't someone with no hair a nun? I don't want to be a nun!"
"Don't you guys all like girls with long hair? I... want long hair!"
Halfway through speaking, her delicate head drooped slightly, her cheeks turned cherry pink, her fine hair like strands of silver silk slid down her fragrant shoulders, softening this moment, stunning Ye Fan…
