Chapter 8: A Tale of Love and Passion - "Fast and Furious"
.......
He figured Tang Yanning would be back soon.
I had just sat down and taken a sip of tea when I heard the sound of a key turning in the door.
Tang Yanning is back.
He walked in carrying a paper bag with the restaurant's logo on it, his forehead was still damp with sweat, and his cheeks were slightly flushed, as if he had just squeezed out of the crowd.
She placed the bag on the table and sighed with relief: "That restaurant was so crowded today, the line was so long... You must all be starving!"
As she spoke, she deftly took out the lunchbox, and the aroma immediately filled the air.
As she turned to serve the rice, she looked at her mother and asked with concern, "Mom, is your foot feeling better? Does it still hurt?"
Liu Ruyan gently shook her head, a gentle smile curving her lips: "Much better, it doesn't hurt as much anymore, don't worry."
Tang Yanning nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She simply said, "That's good. Ye Fan, come and eat! Mom, you come too." Her gaze lingered on her mother's face for a moment. She felt that her mother was acting strangely today, but she didn't think much of it.
She ordered four dishes and a soup: stir-fried pork with chili peppers, glistening and fragrant; stir-fried beef with celery, tender and refreshing; braised pork belly, rich and flavorful; stir-fried water spinach, vibrant green and glistening; and pork tripe soup, milky white and rich. She also ordered three bowls of glistening rice. It was simple yet tempting.
The dinner table.
Liu Ruyan smiled, pursed her sexy lips, and ate in small bites.
Ye Fan was genuinely hungry and buried his head in his food, eating earnestly.
Tang Yanning served Ye Fan some food and said, "Ye Fan, you've worked so hard today, please eat more."
Ye Fan swallowed the food in his mouth, waved his hand, and smiled, "Don't mention it, it was nothing."
After finishing her meal, she wiped her mouth and said goodbye, "Auntie, Yan Ning, I'm full, I'll go home now."
"Okay, come visit again when you have time." Liu Ruyan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan naturally knew what she meant by "come to play".
Tang Yanning also stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go see Ye Fan off."
Liu Ruyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
The two walked down the stairs one after the other.
The dim lighting in the hallway cast long, thin shadows on them.
Tang Yanning's voice echoed, "Ye Zi, thank you so much today. Without you, I don't know how I would have gotten my mother to the hospital."
"It's really nothing, why are we talking like this?" Ye Fan said casually. "Isn't friendship about helping each other?"
The two chatted casually like that.
We arrived at the entrance of the residential area very quickly.
Ye Fan took a taxi home.
----------------
back home.
Gu Ruoning only asked Ye Linzhang a question, without saying anything to him.
He informed his family in advance that he wouldn't be home for dinner tonight.
Shower room...
Ye Fan hummed a little tune.
Rinse quickly.
Back in the room.
He thought he would review the material and then study hard during this period.
Although his greatest advantage is that he is a reborn person, and his memories are clearly imprinted in his mind, he can even clearly remember what the college entrance examination questions were this year.
Logically, I don't need to study at all, but with less than a month left until the college entrance exam, this is an irreplaceable and precious time. Once it's gone, it can never be retrieved. Therefore, I want to cherish and make the most of this precious time.
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Fan picked up a pen and wrote down in detail on the paper based on his memory.
After a full hour of effort.
He finally wrote down all the questions for Chinese, math, and English on the paper.
"I'll skip the combined science exam for now," Ye Fan muttered to himself, twirling his pen in his right hand.
His gaze swept over the several A4 sheets of paper already filled with writing, and he sighed, "If this gets out, I'll be locked up for life."
He then carefully folded the papers and put them in a drawer under the table, locking it away.
Suddenly, a series of "ding-dong, ding-dong" notification sounds came from the speakers on the computer desk.
It turned out to be a message from Liu Ruyan via WeChat:
[Little man, what are you doing?]
The two added each other on WeChat while waiting at the hospital, so Ye Fan wasn't surprised to see the message from Liu Ruyan. But were they being so blatant these days, even their chats were so direct?
Ye Fan replied casually:
Review!
[Oh! Is this naive auntie concerned about me? Or is she just concerned about me?]
Liu Ruyan replied instantly:
[Yan Ning is also reviewing. This period is the hardest for you all. Just hang in there for a month!]
Ye Fan recalled the look in her eyes before he left.
Yeah, tomorrow marks the start of another grueling week. Oh dear, I guess I'll have to go into seclusion and focus entirely on exam preparation for now.
Liu Ruyan, of course, knew what he meant, and said with a smile:
[Okay, then good luck!]
..............
Ye Fan looked at his phone screen, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
This "bad aunt" seems to be even bolder and more interesting than he imagined.
He put down his phone, picked up his textbook again, but his mind remained unsettled for a long time. The moonlight outside the window was bright and clear; something seemed different this night.
