Chapter 365 Heading to the Laboratory
The next day.
Just past six in the morning, the rising sun slowly ascended from the east, representing the arrival of a new day.
In the bedroom, Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes. After getting dressed and washing up, once everything was done, he left the room and came to the dining room.
Because the ranking tournament had ended, Lan Xi surprisingly didn't wake up early to cook.
Just right, as Ye Fan had estimated. This way, he could just show off a little. Having lived here for so many days, he was very familiar with the placement of items in the dining room, so cooking was also quite efficient.
In less than half an hour, a pot of fragrant preserved egg and lean pork congee and four exquisite small dishes were placed on the dining table.
Lan Xi came to the dining room yawning. As soon as she walked in, the fragrance rushing towards her instantly dispelled the sleepiness in her mind. Looking at the food on the table, and Ye Fan who was busy cleaning up, she first paused, then a smile appeared at the corners of her eyes.
"Xiao Fan, why are you up so early today?"
"Slept early last night."
Hearing Lan Xi's voice, Ye Fan, who was washing the pot, turned his head, chuckled and explained: "Having lived here for so many days, I've always wanted to make breakfast for you and Uncle. This time, I finally caught the chance."
Hearing this, Lan Xi smiled sweetly, teased: "Is this meal made for me and your uncle? But…"
Speaking to here, she deliberately dragged out her voice, "How come I feel like it's made for Xiao Xi?"
"Cough——"
Ye Fan didn't feel awkward at all, his expression as usual, said: "It's all the same, all the same."
The smile on Lan Xi's face grew richer. She didn't tease Ye Fan further, walked straight to the dining table and sat down. Looking at the small dishes and congee on the table, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiao Fan, your cooking skills are quite good, at least much better than I imagined."
Ye Fan wiped his hands, turned around, half-jokingly said: "Compared to Xiao Xi, it should be considered alright."
Hearing this, Lan Xi directly broke her defense, burst into laughter, holding her stomach. A trace of surprise flashed deep in her eyes, incomparably curious, said: "Xiao Fan, you seem to have eaten food made by Xiao Xi?"
Food made by daughter, comparable to an atomic bomb!
This point, she was quite clear about.
Ye Fan's face was solemn, a bitter taste hung at the corners of his mouth, "Sister Lan, not only have I eaten it, but I've also eaten a lot."
Lan Xi was extremely surprised, said incredulously: "Then you're actually still… alright? A miracle!"
"…"
Regarding these words, Ye Fan didn't know how to respond.
He certainly knew what Lan Xi was talking about. Remembering the encounter that day, his back still broke out in a cold sweat now.
"Good luck, good luck."
"I think so too."
Lan Xi pursed her lips into a smile, earnestly instructed: "After eating a lesson, you'll learn your lesson. This girl Xiao Xi is good everywhere, just doesn't have much talent in cooking. For your own safety, if you two can continue walking together in the future, you'll have to take on the task of cooking."
"That's for sure!"
Ye Fan gave an answer without hesitation.
Even without Lan Xi's reminder, he would do so.
He was still young, cherished his life!
"So fragrant…"
Just then, Ning Xi walked in with sleepy eyes. Noticing the apron on Ye Fan, her steps paused, "Gege, are you making breakfast today?"
"That's right."
Ye Fan smiled and greeted: "Sit down, eat while it's hot."
Lan Xi held her bowl and chopsticks, eating heartily without making a sound.
Regarding the topic just now, the two had a very tacit understanding and neither mentioned it again.
A few minutes later, Ning Xiangtian also came to the dining room. After learning that breakfast was made by Ye Fan, he glanced at Ye Fan quite surprisedly, said suggestively: "Good at cooking, huh? This way, in the future you'll… have good food to eat ( have a gourmet's luck)!"
Lan Xi held back her laughter, silently drinking her congee.
Ye Fan also knew the hidden meaning in his future father-in-law's words. Boundless amusement surged in his eyes. Didn't continue to get entangled in this issue, opened his mouth to inquire: "Uncle, the ranking tournament has ended, I don't have much to do recently, when can I go see the laboratory?"
"Anytime."
Ning Xiangtian said lightly: "I've already informed Zhuang Li of the laboratory's location. You can just find him for this matter. The key to the laboratory is also with Zhuang Li."
Ye Fan nodded, said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle."
Ning Xiangtian didn't speak further, lowered his head to drink congee.
Ye Fan had just picked up his bowl and chopsticks when he felt a small foot kick him. Immediately, his attention landed on Ning Xi's cheek beside him. His thin lips moved slightly, asking in a voice only the two could hear: "Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"
"N-nothing."
Ning Xi's delicate head drooped, said inaudibly low: "Are you going to the laboratory today?"
"Mm."
"Remember to take me, I'll go too."
"Okay."
Seeing Ye Fan agree so readily, a captivating smile appeared on the girl's face. Her fair, exquisite, and makeup-free appearance made one instinctively feel a desire to protect.
It is said, beauty can be feasted upon.
Before, Ye Fan always thought this was an exaggerated term, never expected it was a descriptive adjective.
Looking at the girl's brilliant smile, Ye Fan instantly lost the mood to eat.
Ning Xi noticed Ye Fan's small actions, secretly glared at him, "Eat, don't look at me, Mom and Dad are both here, be a bit normal!"
Lan Xi looked at the two with a beaming smile, "You two not eating, what are you whispering about there?"
"N-nothing."
Ning Xi hurriedly waved her hands, smiled guiltily, "Eating, eating."
After breakfast, Ye Fan took Ning Xi to find Zhuang Li. As soon as Zhuang Li heard Ye Fan was going to the laboratory, he immediately took out the key and stuffed it into Ye Fan's hand.
Said to be a key, it was actually a door card. The door card was black, with some English letters laser engraved on it.
Seeing Zhuang Li standing at the door motionless, Ye Fan helplessly supported his forehead, "Uncle Zhuang, I don't know the way, still have to trouble you to take me and Xiao Xi there."
Zhuang Li suddenly came to his senses, patted his head, smiled awkwardly, "Look at my memory. Wait for me to change clothes.".Seven
...
More than half an hour later.
South suburbs of the Imperial Capital, about thirty-plus kilometers from the city center. A private villa stood at the foot of a mountain. The villa's surrounding walls were very high, at least over three meters. It would be difficult for ordinary people to climb over this wall.
Not only that, but the top of the surrounding wall was also encircled by an electric fence over a meter high, with signs indicating high voltage electricity, making people look on with awe and fear.
A black Audi parked in the parking space outside the villa gate. Ye Fan and Ning Xi got out. The two looked up at the villa before them, a trace of anticipation flashing in their eyes.
Zhuang Li got out of the car, said to Ye Fan: "You and Miss can go in, I'll wait outside."
"Troubled you."
Ye Fan smiled politely, took out the door card and placed it on the card reader to the right of the main gate. Only a 'di' sound was heard, and the main gate slowly retreated to both sides.
Ye Fan held Ning Xi's hand, raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Let's go, go in and take a look."
