Chapter 289 Damn, that was some amazing skill!
Ye Fan pointed to the juice on the table and said, "Those who don't drink alcohol can drink this. Pour it yourself."
A dinner brimming with the warmth of everyday life and youthful energy has officially begun.
At first, everyone was a little reserved, but as the cold beer and juice went down, the hissing and gasping sounds from the spiciness, the exclamations of being conquered by the food, and Li Yifeng's witty remarks, the atmosphere quickly became lively.
At that moment, Xian Zuling seemed to become a different person. Faced with the tempting Sichuan cuisine, she completely let go of her usual restraint and silence.
She bravely picked up a slice of boiled fish covered in chili oil and Sichuan peppercorns, carefully blew on it, and put it in her mouth. Instantly, the spicy and savory flavor exploded in her mouth, her eyes squinted happily, and her cheeks flushed red from the spiciness.
Then, unable to resist, he reached for more duck blood in the spicy blood curd, slurping it in as he exclaimed sincerely, "Delicious! Really delicious! Li Yifeng, you're amazing!"
This was the loudest and most heartfelt thing she said tonight.
She would never say such things under normal circumstances. Let alone say such things, she is very reserved even when talking to people.
Ye Fan perfectly exemplified what it means to experience "pain and pleasure simultaneously".
He was sweating profusely from the spiciness, his lips were swollen and red, and he kept chugging iced juice, hissing and gasping for breath. But his chopsticks seemed to be possessed, reaching for those "deadly temptations" again and again, while he ate and cursed Li Yifeng for "poisoning" him.
Li Yifeng laughed triumphantly, while Shi Kai ate his not-too-spicy barbecue in silence, occasionally taking a big gulp of beer when the spiciness hit him.
Su Luming tried a small piece of twice-cooked pork and was immediately brought to tears by the spiciness. He drank a lot of juice and dared not touch those pots of "Flaming Mountain" again. However, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Ye Fan and Xian Zuling's "heroic sacrifice".
The dining table was filled with laughter and chatter as people talked about the new things that had just started the semester, complained about the bizarre courses, and shared interesting stories from their hometowns.
Later, Li Yifeng even magically pulled a dice cup from his backpack: "Just eating is boring! Let's have something fun! Truth or Dare or just bragging?"
"Bullshit!" Ye Fan and Shi Kai said in unison.
The crisp sound of dice striking the dice cup, mixed with shouts and laughter of "Five sixes!" "Open!" and "Drink, drink, drink!", completely ignited the night in the bamboo grove courtyard.
Time flew by amidst the merriment.
It wasn't until Su Luming glanced at his phone that he exclaimed, "Oh no! It's almost ten o'clock! They're going to do a dorm check!"
The enthusiastic atmosphere had just cooled down slightly.
Xian Zuling reluctantly put down her chopsticks, her lips red from the spiciness and her forehead damp with sweat, but her face was radiant with unprecedented satisfaction.
"Let's go, I'll take you downstairs." Ye Fan stood up.
Li Yifeng also stood up unsteadily: "Old Ye, we can't go back to the dorm! That guy Xiao Ji... sigh! Shi Kai and I are going to stay with you tonight! Is your sofa big enough? Or we can sleep on the floor!"
Ye Fan looked at the two guys who were a bit tipsy and said, "You two go take a hot shower later. There are rooms upstairs, you can go sleep. Shi Kai, keep an eye on Lao Li, don't let him go on a drunken rampage in the middle of the night."
After seeing off the hurried Su Luming and Xian Zuling, Ye Fan closed the door.
Looking back at the messy table, Li Yifeng slumped on the sofa and snoring, and Shi Kai silently tidying up the table, Ye Fan shook his head helplessly and then joined in the tidying up.
......
The next day.
Ye Fan, Li Yifeng, and Shi Kai strolled into the classroom just as the school bell was ringing.
His gaze habitually fell on the last row—next to his "reserved seat," where the ancestral spirit always kept his head down and tried to shrink himself into a small ball.
However, today, the seat next to the ancestral spirit was taken!
And it was taken by Su Luming and Li Qi!
They usually sit in the front row near the podium, but today they unusually squeezed into the last row and were whispering something next to the ancestral spirit.
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself: What are these two girls up to?
He walked over without making a sound, his face deliberately tense and expressionless, yet he exuded an invisible aura.
He stopped beside Li Qi's seat, looking down at her with a calm and serene gaze, staring at her intently without any emotion, as if he were examining an object.
Li Qi was talking enthusiastically with Su Luming when he suddenly felt the light above his head dim, and an inexplicable, heart-pounding pressure descend upon him.
She subconsciously looked up and met Ye Fan's unfathomable, calm yet incredibly penetrating eyes. His gaze wasn't fierce, but it carried an undeniable scrutiny, as if it could see right through her every thought.
Li Qi suddenly felt the pressure increase.
Under Ye Fan's invisible "pressure," she almost reflexively stood up abruptly, her voice trembling slightly: "Class...Class monitor! Please sit! Please sit here!"
The movements were so fast it was as if they had been burned.
Ye Fan's icy expression instantly melted away, replaced by a gentle and harmless smile, as if the imposing aura from before had been nothing but an illusion: "Thanks."
He sat down in the seat that Li Qi had given up with remarkable ease, his movements fluid and graceful.
Li Qi then realized what was happening, and her face flushed bright red, like a ripe tomato. She stood there helplessly, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
She didn't even know why she did that; it was purely instinctive!
Su Luming and Xian Zuling, who were standing to the side, were completely dumbfounded!
Su Luming's mouth opened slightly, and Xian Zuling forgot to lower his head, his big eyes filled with astonishment.
This scene was also witnessed by Lin Yufei and Xu Bin, who were not far away.
"Holy crap!" Lin Yufei exclaimed in a low voice, nudging Xu Bin. "Did you see that? Old Ye's move... was awesome! That killer look!"
Xu Bin stared, his eyes wide with a mixture of admiration and resentment: "Damn, that's some serious skill! He didn't even do anything, just stared at her for a bit, and the girl automatically gave up her seat? I want to try that too!"
Xu Bin's innate competitive spirit kicked in.
His gaze was fixed on Zhou Ping, who was looking down at a book across the aisle.
He took a deep breath, mimicking Ye Fan's earlier demeanor, put on a stern face, and walked a few steps to Zhou Ping's side. Then, just like Ye Fan, he stared intently at Zhou Ping's profile with a serious expression that he was trying hard to suppress.
However, the expected scene of the other party hurriedly getting up did not occur.
Zhou Ping felt someone blocking the light next to her and looked up in confusion.
When she saw Xu Bin's face, which was trying hard to appear serious but looked somewhat comical, and whose eyes held a hint of expectation, she was taken aback for a moment. Then, her brows furrowed slightly, and her tone was full of sincerity and a hint of barely perceptible disdain: "Xu Bin? Didn't you wash your face?"
