Chapter 388 This guy is so mean!
It was just past four in the afternoon.
Ye Fan put away the organized draft papers, walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at Ning Xi who was still sleeping. He gently poked the girl's cheek, "Xiao Xi, wake up."
"...Mm?"
The angel-like girl let out a soft moan, her sleepy eyes slowly opened, and she sat up clumsily, staring off into space.
Ye Fan didn't say anything, simply admired the beautiful scene before him in silence.
About two or three minutes passed just like that before the confusion in Ning Xi's eyes gradually faded. Once she was fully awake, she picked up her phone to check the time, glanced at Ye Fan guiltily, and playfully stuck out her fragrant little tongue.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I overslept."
They had originally agreed to go to the city around three in the afternoon to buy some daily necessities, but now it was almost four-thirty.
"It's okay."
Ye Fan dotingly rubbed Ning Xi's little head, adjusted his sitting posture, leaned against the bedside table, and naturally wrapped his left arm around Ning Xi from behind, gently holding her in his arms. He spoke in a warm voice: "Let's not go to the city today. Let me hold you for a while."
Ning Xi's pretty face rested on Ye Fan's chest. Listening to the strong and powerful heartbeat, dimples bloomed at the corners of her lips. She softly said, "But if we don't go to the city, what are we going to eat tonight? We can't just order takeout again, right?"
"While you were sleeping, I called Sister Lan and made a list of daily necessities, including tableware. I believe it won't be long before Uncle Zhuang delivers these things."
Ye Fan leaned down close to the girl's ear, his nose filled with her fragrant scent, like a mysterious orchid, "Don't worry. Follow your brother, and at most you'll starve nine meals every three days."
"Pfft—"
Ning Xi burst into laughter, raised her pretty face to give Ye Fan a glare, but because Ye Fan was leaning in too close, as soon as she lifted her head, their lips met. Her delicate body froze instantly.
Ye Fan was a bit surprised too, but he reacted quickly. He deliberately licked Ning Xi's lips, then moved his head back slightly, his face full of innocent expression. "Xiao Xi, who told you to steal a kiss from me? Give me back my innocence!"
"..."
Ning Xi looked around and, seeing nothing else, grabbed a pillow and threw it at Ye Fan. "You bad guy!"
Ye Fan easily caught the pillow, chuckled and put it down, giving the bed a gentle pat.
Today's bed was made by Ning Xi for him. He had to admit, a bed made by a girl really was soft and cozy.
Of course, the price was that the four quilts they brought were all used up.
A thought popped into his head, and a smile appeared on his face. "Xiao Xi, have you ever heard of something?"
"What is it?"
"Nothing really, just that in places with few people, strange things often happen."
Ning Xi froze, staring blankly at Ye Fan, not understanding what he meant by this.
The corners of Ye Fan's lips curled up as he smoothly continued: "Xiao Xi, I'm not trying to scare you on purpose, just giving you a heads-up. When you sleep at night, be careful. If you hear something, don't be scared."
Ning Xi: "..."
She seemed to understand Ye Fan's intention!
This guy was sly and bad!
"You... shameless!"
Facing the girl's accusation, Ye Fan's expression remained unchanged. He shook his head and explained, "Xiao Xi, how could you say that about me? I'm just worried about you."
Ning Xi pouted and crossed her arms. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You better not even think about that kind of thing. It's not happening!"
"Hm? What kind of thing are you talking about?"
"..."
Seeing Ye Fan's confused face, Ning Xi knew clearly in her heart that he was pretending to be innocent to the end. She felt helpless but also found it funny.
To take advantage, Ye Fan would go to any lengths!
Ning Xi rolled her eyes at Ye Fan and chose to skip the topic altogether. She got up and went to the desk, looked at the scattered draft papers, picked one up out of curiosity and began to read.
Ye Fan came over. The chair was already occupied by Ning Xi, so he casually sat on the edge of the desk. "Can you understand it?"
"Nope."
Ning Xi pouted and quietly put down the draft paper.
She recognized most of the words and formulas on the paper, but once combined, she couldn't understand them at all.
Too profound!
Ye Fan wasn't surprised by the answer. He raised his left hand and ran it through the girl's hair while explaining in a gentle voice: "These are the experimental procedures I've prepared. Once the experimental equipment arrives, we'll start the experiments based on these."
"Even if there are changes later, they'll be based on this foundation."
Ning Xi nodded her delicate head and tilted it, smiling sweetly. "Even though I can't understand it, I'm still one of the participants. When you finally conquer superconductivity, don't forget that I contributed too, okay?"
A doting look flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, and he chuckled softly: "Oh? Tell me more."
"Mm… Anyway, I just did!"
Ning Xi playfully stuck out her fragrant little tongue. "At the very least, I can keep you company."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ye Fan laughed heartily, pinched the girl's cheek, "Xiao Xi's contribution is the greatest."
Around six in the evening, the sky grew dim.
Zhuang Li brought a few porters and unloaded a truckload of daily necessities. Among them, the air conditioner and refrigerator were the most important.
In such hot weather, it would be impossible to sleep at night without air conditioning.
Once everything was done, Ye Fan looked at the kitchen set up by Zhuang Li and smiled, "Uncle, why don't you stay and try my cooking?"
"No need."
Zhuang Li declined, "I still have to report to Mister and Madam, so I won't stay long. Take good care of Miss. The conditions here are poor, don't let her suffer."
"Don't worry."
After receiving Ye Fan's assurance, Zhuang Li finally left at ease.
The lab returned to peace once more.
In the kitchen, Ye Fan was busy stir-frying, while Ning Xi sat quietly on a small stool, watching. The division of labor was clear.
Ye Fan cooked, she was responsible for eating~~~
"OK!"
Ye Fan unfolded the folding dining table and served two vegetable dishes. "It's a bit late, so let's just eat something simple."
"It's great."
Ning Xi beamed and obediently took the bowl of rice handed to her by Ye Fan, lowering her head a little shyly. "Brother, am I kind of useless? You cook while I can only watch and not help."
Actually, she really wanted to help, but Ye Fan never gave her the chance.
"Who says so?"
Ye Fan picked some vegetables for Ning Xi. "Whether my cooking tastes good or not depends a lot on my mood. You sitting here is already the most beautiful scenery. Looking at something beautiful makes me feel good, so the food naturally tastes good."
"So, you helped a lot!"
