Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 19 College Entrance Examination Rewards: A Written Agreement!

"Damn it"

He subconsciously touched his new haircut, "Is this me?"

Ye Fan, who was standing next to him, had also completed his transformation.

The barber gave him a slightly longer, choppy haircut, with a few strands of bangs falling naturally in front of his forehead. This style retained his youthful charm while adding a touch of mature allure. In the mirror, his features were clearly defined, and his jawline appeared even more sculpted thanks to the choppy hair.

His already handsome face, combined with the change in hairstyle, made him an outrageously handsome face in front of the mirror.

Zhao Mingzhe gave Tony a thumbs-up, "Great job, Tony!"

Turning to look at Ye Fan's new look, she exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Old Ye, with that face and hairstyle, you're a total pretty boy! It's a shame you're not acting in idol dramas!"

Ye Fan: "..."

Damn it, if you can't praise me, just shut up. You've even brought up gigolos. But I have to say, gigolos are still quite popular in later generations.

After paying for both of them, Ye Fan walked outside. "Let's go, it's time to go home."

Zhao Mingzhe stopped in his tracks, his hand reaching for his wallet. "Hey? You big spender, it's your treat!"

Ye Fan had already reached the bike lock area, hopped on his bicycle, and said, "Isn't it normal for a father to pay for his son's bike?"

He suddenly turned his head as if remembering something and asked, "By the way, did you buy all the raw materials I asked you to buy at noon?"

"Damn it."

"That son of a bitch ran so fast!"

Zhao Mingzhe caught up, cursing and swearing, and jumped onto the back of the bicycle in one swift motion.

"Bought it, bought it! Don't you trust your brother to handle things? It'll be perfect!"

The two squeezed onto a bicycle and wobbled their way home.

When they reached the alley entrance, Ye Fan got off his bicycle. "Want to come to my house for dinner? I'll give you some math problems to solve later."

Zhao Mingzhe waved his hand and said, "Come on, I haven't even taken a shower yet."

"I'll go home and take a shower first. I'll eat at home and then come to your place later."

Ye Fan made the OK gesture, then turned and went home.

-----------------

As soon as I opened the door, I went straight to the living room.

Old Ye was sitting at the coffee table, focused on brewing tea. The aroma of tea filled the air. Ye Fan plopped down on the sofa and let out a comfortable sigh.

"Old Ye, can I have a cup too?" He craned his neck to look in the direction the teapot was placed.

Ye Linzhang calmly washed and brewed the tea, his movements fluid and graceful. "It's the weekend, right? Are you still going to school?" he asked without looking up.

"Hiss~ Hiss," Ye Fan picked up the teacup and pretended to serve tea.

But to be honest, as a native of southern Fujian, he really knows how to drink tea, after all, he grew up surrounded by the aroma of tea.

"No classes today, I just went to get a haircut with Lao Zhao."

Ye Linzhang hadn't even noticed that his son had gotten a haircut until he told him.

I must say, his new hairstyle is quite stylish, making him look radiant.

His already handsome features appeared even more dashing with his neat hairstyle.

"Yes, you do look much more energetic." Old Ye took a sip of tea, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The kitchen door creaked open, and Gu Ruoning, wearing an apron, came out and said, "You two, stop drinking tea and come help!"

Upon hearing Gu Ruoning's words, the father and son exchanged a glance and then ran happily to the kitchen.

The kitchen was steaming hot. Old Ye was in charge of chopping vegetables, Ye Fan was in charge of assisting, and Gu Ruoning was in charge of cooking.

The crisp sound of spatulas clattering together, the sizzling aroma of oil in the pan.

A short while later.

The table was laden with delicious-looking and fragrant dishes.

The braised pork ribs are glistening and tempting, the steamed fish is tender and plump, and the garlic-flavored greens are vibrant and juicy.

There's also Ye Fan's favorite oyster omelet, with its golden, crispy edges slightly curled up, emitting a rich aroma.

Sitting at the dining table, looking at every dish he loved, Ye Fan felt incredibly happy.

Although he knew this was a "special treatment" from his mother as the college entrance exam approached, even on ordinary days, his mother's cooking was always very good, a true "Michelin-starred home-style version".

He picked up a piece of pork rib and took a bite. The aroma of the sauce instantly spread throughout his mouth. It was so satisfying.

Think about it, this is what real life is like.

Home is where your parents are!

Ye Fan picked up a piece of oyster omelet and suddenly thought of his past life. Although he had worked very hard and achieved great success, he lived alone in an empty villa. His dinners were almost always the same: either drinking and socializing or eating alone. The loneliness he felt was indescribable...

"Xiao Fan, there are only a few days left until the college entrance examination, right?" Gu Ruoning asked casually, her hands still busy, adding another spoonful of steamed fish to her son's bowl.

Ye Linzhang continued eating his meal without showing any emotion.

This was something the couple had discussed beforehand: one person would speak while the other remained silent, and they wouldn't put pressure on the child during this period, treating it as casual conversation.

Ye Fan ate his meal without stopping, "There are still 22 days left, it seems."

His mouth was stuffed full, and his cheeks puffed out as he spoke, "It's still a long way off."

All he could think about at that moment was selling more lemonade and making a good profit.

"How have you been studying lately? Have you felt a lot of pressure?" Gu Ruoning continued to ask, deliberately keeping her tone very soft.

Ye Fan continued gulping down his soup. "I don't feel anything. I just eat, drink, and sleep as usual every day."

Ye Linzhang continued eating his meal without making a sound, only pausing almost imperceptibly as he picked up food.

However, Gu Ruoning was furious, even though the couple had agreed not to put pressure on their child.

But this kid, what does it mean to eat when you're supposed to eat, drink when you're supposed to drink, and sleep when you're supposed to sleep? So, during the crucial senior year of high school, the word "study" simply didn't exist in his dictionary?

"Your mom means she's asking how your revision is going and if you have a favorite university in mind!" Ye Linzhang knew his wife was about to explode with anger, so he quickly tried to deflect the fire for his son.

Ye Fan put down his chopsticks, chuckled, and stepped forward to massage Gu Ruoning's shoulders, saying, "Mom, don't be angry, okay? We need to be magnanimous! I'm holding back a big surprise, waiting for the results to come out so I can give you a huge surprise."

Gu Ruoning felt much better after her son massaged her, and her anger subsided considerably. "You're going to give us a surprise? It would be good enough if you didn't scare us," Gu Ruoning said irritably.

"What if I really bring you a surprise back?" Ye Fan chuckled.

Gu Ruoning waved her hand generously, her eyes filled with disbelief, "If you can get into a top-tier university, Mom will give you a 10,000 yuan bonus. You can use it to buy whatever you want; you can do whatever you want with the money."

"What if I get into a 211 or 985 university?" Ye Fan's eyes lit up as he grinned and asked.

"Oh, you even got into a 211 university... That's good. If you can get into a 211 university, I'll give you 20,000 yuan. If you get into a 985 university, I'll give you 30,000 yuan. I mean what I say," Gu Ruoning said directly.

Ye Fan continued, "What if your son gets the top score in the imperial examination?"

"Pfft—Son, are you alright? What do you have to do with the word 'top scholar'? The only connection is that you can write the word 'top scholar'."

She paused and continued, "But if you really manage to get the top score in the exam, Mom will give you a bonus of 100,000 yuan."

After hearing this, Ye Fan went straight back to his bedroom.

Gu Ruoning looked at Ye Linzhang in surprise.

"Where did your son go?"

"Did I provoke you? Or what happened?"

Gu Ruoning frowned, wondering what tricks this kid was up to.

Before she could think further, Ye Fan turned around and came back, a pen in his mouth and a piece of paper in his hand, which he placed in front of Gu Ruoning.

"What are you doing?" Gu Ruoning looked at her son, somewhat bewildered.

Ye Fan chuckled, a sly glint in his eyes: "Words are no proof, let's put it in writing! What if you deny it later? Who am I going to complain to?"

"......"
