Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 283 A Glimpse into the Lives of Boys in the Dormitory

"Mmm! This matcha mille-feuille is amazing!"

"This tiramisu is amazing!"

The dormitory was instantly filled with a sweet fragrance and the cheerful laughter of the girls.

Chen Chulin breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the cabinet full of designer brands, and a sweet burden rose in her heart.

……

Ye Fan, upon returning to his dormitory, stopped in his tracks as soon as he opened the door.

The air was filled with an unfamiliar, sweet perfume scent, which clashed sharply with the familiar smells of instant noodles, cigarettes, and electronic devices in his male dormitory.

Upon closer inspection, two people were found crammed onto Xiao Ji's already cramped single sofa, which was piled high with clutter!

Xiao Ji sat upright, a silly smile on his face that he was trying to make look natural but only looked stiffer.

And sitting right next to him was... Liu Wenli!

She was wearing a slightly tight dress, her hair was carefully styled, and she was facing the doorway with her body slightly turned to the side.

Ye Fan: "..."

A string of question marks flashed through his mind: Holy crap! What's going on? How did a girl get in? Which idiot brought her in? Is the dorm supervisor blind today?

"Fan... Brother Fan! You're back?" Liu Wenli spoke first, her voice deliberately sweet, her gaze quickly sweeping over Ye Fan.

"Um... hello." Ye Fan replied expressionlessly, turning his gaze to Xiao Ji.

As if receiving a signal, Xiao Ji quickly jumped up from the sofa, and with an enthusiasm that seemed to say "I'm not trying to hide anything," grabbed a can of Coke from the table and shoved it at Ye Fan: "Brother Fan, have a Coke! It's ice cold!"

He avoided eye contact and made no mention of Liu Wenli sitting next to him or their current relationship.

Ye Fan took the cola, feeling the icy coolness in his palm, but the sense of speechlessness in his heart was even stronger.

He glanced at the obviously overly intimate distance on the narrow sofa, and at Liu Wenli's occasional probing and deliberate glances at him. He instantly understood—this was the "good deed" that idiot Xiao Ji had orchestrated!

He even brought the girl back to his dorm! What a jerk! Ye Fan really wanted to shove this guy into a cup of instant noodles to wake him up.

What intrigued him even more was: Xiao Ji, who stayed in his dorm all day, either playing games or sleeping, had virtually no social circle, and rarely even attended classes, how did he manage to "win over" Liu Wenli so quietly? Was it an online romance that blossomed into a real-life relationship?

He thought about it again. Old Li kept saying he wanted to find a girlfriend, but he hadn't found one at all. On the contrary, Xiao Ji, who played games in the dormitory every day, had found a girlfriend. What a talent!

Ye Fan couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and the smell of perfume in the dormitory. He was too lazy to look at Xiao Ji's silly attempt to cover up his embarrassment or Liu Wenli's subtle scrutiny. He took a couple of gulps of cola, turned around, and slipped out.

He visited several dorm rooms next door. Room 207 was filled with smoke, and the screen showed intense gunfights accompanied by shouts of "Holy crap! Point A! Point A!"

The curtains in dormitory 206 were tightly drawn, and the computer screens were flashing indescribable images. Several heads were huddled together, emitting suppressed and lewd laughter.

A guy in dorm 209, wearing headphones, spoke into his phone microphone in an incredibly cloying tone: "Honey, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll order takeout for you..."

After walking around, I found that these bastards were either playing video games, watching Japanese adult films, or flirting with girls.

He timed it carefully, estimating that Xiao Ji's "two-person world" was almost over, before leisurely strolling back to his dormitory entrance.

I pushed open the door and lo and behold! Liu Wenli was still there!

The two of them had moved from the sofa to Xiaoji's computer desk and were watching anime together. Xiaoji was laughing like a fool, and Liu Wenli was also covering her mouth and laughing, but her posture looked deliberate and stiff no matter how you looked at it.

Ye Fan was speechless.

There won't be room checks today since it's the weekend, so Liu Wenli might even be kept in the dormitory.

He decisively pulled out his phone and sent a message to Li Yifeng: "Old Li, emergency! Xiao Ji brought a girl to the dorm, and it looks like he's not planning to leave anytime soon. You and Shi Kai decide what to do; if you don't mind the awkwardness, go back."

After saying that, he called Xian Zuling to ask her what she was doing.

Xian Zuling assumed Ye Fan was coming home for dinner tonight, so she quickly said, "I'm reading in my dorm. Are you coming home for dinner? Wait a minute, I'll go make you some food now!"

Ye Fan said, "No need, I'm not hungry right now. You don't need to cook tonight either, just come over and have some barbecue. I've invited Li Yifeng, Shi Kai, and Su Luming. You can read now! I'll call you when it's time!"

The ancestral spirit replied, "Oh, okay!"

Ye Fan hung up the phone and then called Tang Yanning.

"Hey! Yezi, what brings you to call me?" Tang Yanning's clear and cheerful voice came through the phone, accompanied by some background noise, including what sounded like girls laughing.

Ye Fan's lips unconsciously curled into a smile: "Hmm, are you free now? Want to go for a stroll?"

Tang Yanning's voice immediately rose eight octaves, filled with undisguised excitement: "I'm free! Of course I'm free! Where are you? I'll be right there!"

"See you at the new fresh juice shop that just opened on the commercial street?"

"Okay! Wait for me! Don't run away!" Tang Yanning hung up the phone quickly.

Hearing the busy tone, Ye Fan shook his head and smiled.

After finishing her conversation, Tang Yanning happily changed her clothes. This was the first time Ye Fan had taken the initiative to ask her out since she started university.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to ask Tang Yanning out since starting university.

They are undoubtedly very good friends, having been friends since high school when they "fought and fought" together.

In his past life, he was oblivious and didn't understand a young girl's feelings. In this life, he is fully aware of Tang Yanning's affection for him. But he chooses not to deliberately reveal it or to avoid it.

If she is still willing to get close to him after knowing his situation, he will naturally cherish this affection; if she becomes distant because of it, he will respect her choice, and this friendship will not change.

The most troublesome issue is actually the relationship between Tang Yanning and Liu Ruyan... I wonder what Tang Yanning will think if he finds out about this.

Ye Fan shook his head, clearing his mind of his chaotic thoughts.

Forget it, let nature take its course!

all will be good.

The campus commercial street is never short of people, especially on weekend evenings when there are no classes.

Students crowded in front of various snack stalls, milk tea shops, and boutiques, and the air was filled with the aroma of food and the scent of youthful hormones.

Ye Fan leaned against the rather deserted railing at the entrance of the "Fruitful" fresh juice shop.

Just as he expected, this freshly squeezed juice shop, which emphasizes "health" and "naturalness," is no match for "powdered milk tea" which averages three or four yuan.

Even in later generations, the brands that truly dominated the lower-tier markets were those like "Snow King"—cheap, high-volume, and straightforward.
