Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 232 Of all things, eating is the most important!

He regained his composure and said calmly, "Don't even mention it. Hurry up and eat. My stomach isn't feeling well today, so I can't eat anything too greasy."

"Oh..." Xian Zuling looked at the extra big chicken leg in the bowl, then secretly glanced at Ye Fan's "serious" face. In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation, responded softly, and lowered her head to continue taking small bites.

Although Xian Zuling has relaxed a lot in front of Ye Fan recently, and is no longer as nervous as before, unable to speak clearly, and has become much more confident and is slowly getting better, her social anxiety still makes her palms sweat when she sees Ye Fan putting chicken legs into her bowl in public.

Su Luming rolled her eyes at him, thinking, "He really knows how to lie through his teeth."

Who would believe such a flimsy excuse?

However, when she saw that Xian Zuling was eating happily, she thought that if anyone believed it, it was probably only that idiot Xian Zuling who believed it!

But weren't you going to pursue me? The ancestral spirit offering was just a side event!

Why is all the offerings being made to the ancestral spirits?

Something's not right with this script!

Could it be that he's playing hard to get, deliberately being cold to me to get my attention?

Ugh, it's the same old routine again? Don't you get tired of it?

Just as Su Luming was getting into the climax of his inner monologue, struggling with whether or not to expose Ye Fan's "trick".

"Su Luming!" A slightly excited voice interrupted her thoughts.

A boy in a basketball uniform, his face flushed red, carrying a large bouquet of tacky red roses, rushed straight to their table in full view of everyone!

He took a deep breath, then shoved the bouquet at Su Luming, his voice booming so loud it could be heard throughout the second floor: "Su Luming! From the first time I saw you during freshman year military training, I... I fell for you! Your smile is like sunshine illuminating my heart! Your appearance captivates me! I... I've mustered up the courage to tell you today, please be my girlfriend!"

"boom--!"

The entire second floor of the cafeteria fell silent for a fraction of a second, before erupting into an even louder uproar!

Countless gazes were cast upon him like spotlights! Everyone was watching the drama unfold online, eager to see how Su Luming would respond!

Several boys, seemingly enjoying the drama, even shouted, "Say yes! Say yes!"

The middle-aged women at the staff window also craned their necks, their faces full of gossip.

Ye Fan covered his face; this was so damn embarrassing!

The ancestral spirit's reaction was textbook-perfect: "it's none of my business, so I don't care."

As if she possessed her own protective barrier, she calmly picked up her bowl of crab roe noodles, which was still mostly empty, and quietly moved it, along with the chicken leg bone, to an empty table next to her. With her back to the bustling center, she continued to enjoy her meal with focused and blissful concentration.

Of all things, eating is the most important!

This chicken leg smells so good! She feels that eating is the happiest time, and no one should disturb her happy time.

Just as Ye Fan was about to follow the example of the ancestral spirit and make a strategic move, Su Luming suddenly moved!

Instead of panicking, she flashed an extremely "kind" smile, looked at the nervous and flustered boy in front of her, and asked in a clear but slightly questioning tone, "Excuse me... who are you? Do I know you?"

puff--!

Ye Fan almost choked on his own saliva, stumbled, and had to hold onto the table to steady himself.

That rejection... is too cruel! It's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!

Before the boy could even react from his bewildered state of "Who am I? Where am I?", Su Luming suddenly reached out and grabbed Ye Fan's arm tightly as he was about to run away!

Under Ye Fan's astonished gaze, Su Luming gave the petrified boy a "sweet" yet clearly warning smile: "Excuse me, next time before sending flowers, could you please do some background research first?"

She deliberately pulled Ye Fan's arm closer to her, leaning in intimately as well, and raised her voice to make sure the onlookers could hear: "Besides, doing this in front of my boyfriend...aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?"

The moment Su Luming said this, the entire audience froze!

The boy who confessed his love instantly lost all color in his face, staring incredulously at Ye Fan, who was being held tightly by Su Luming. A wave of immense shame overwhelmed him.

Ye Fan was also taken aback; this young woman actually wanted him to be her shield.

Isn't this just making him the target of hatred? But do you think it's so easy to take advantage of Ye Fan?

In a flash, Ye Fan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

Instead of struggling, he stretched out his long arm and pulled Su Luming into his arms in a very natural and domineering way, his arm firmly encircling her shoulders!

Our bodies were pressed tightly together! The meaning of that posture couldn't be clearer! I was her boyfriend.

"Wow—!" The boy's mental defenses completely collapsed when he saw Ye Fan hugging Su Luming. He let out a wail with a sob in his voice, covered his face, turned around and ran away, even dropping the bouquet of roses on the ground.

Ye Fan: "..."

He watched the retreating figure, face covered, and his lips twitched. Damn, this guy's a sissy!

A sissy like Su Luming, a strong woman? He's destined to suffer a fateful end in the Northwest!

Coming to his senses, Ye Fan released Su Luming's arm.

He subconsciously glanced at the ancestral spirit beside him, and good heavens! This "reclusive master" had almost finished the last bit of crab roe noodles and was sipping the soup with great satisfaction, without even raising his head the whole time.

It was as if the dramatic event that just happened was taking place in a parallel universe.

Ye Fan shook his head helplessly and said to Su Luming, who was still immersed in his "wit," and Xian Zuling, who was oblivious to everything else and only focused on eating crab roe noodles, "You two can eat slowly. I have to go now."

After saying that, he didn't even glance at the unsightly bunch of roses on the ground, nor did he care about the possible gazes from Su Luming, and he ignored the even more intense gossip stares around him. He strode away, leaving the second floor of the cafeteria with a carefree air of "leaving without a trace."

When I got back to the dormitory.

Surprisingly, Xiao Ji didn't play games today, which is unusual for him.

Li Yifeng, Ji Yuhao, Shi Kai, along with Xu Bin and Lin Yufei from next door, were sitting in a circle playing cards, creating a lively atmosphere.

Ji Yuhao had just finished his cigarette, and as soon as he saw Ye Fan push the door open and come over with a grin, asking for a cigarette: "Brother Fan, how about a pack of cigarettes?"

Ye Fan wasn't stingy and casually tossed him a bag.

He even jokingly handed out a cigarette to everyone in the dormitory, calling it "sharing the good fortune."

He chatted with a few people for a while, and only went to take a shower after he had a good time.

After taking a shower, I felt refreshed and climbed into bed to sleep.
