After the National Day holiday, Chen Fan returned to campus. Except for Jiang Tanqiu who kept asking what happened in the bar that day, everything else was as usual. No classmate thinks highly of him, but no one looks down on him anymore.
Only Si Yingxia is still studying hard every day. It is said that the teacher privately praises him for his potential to become the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination.
On this day, Xu Rongfei came to the class for the rare occasion. Amidst the cries of wolves, Chen Fan calmly followed her out.
"Well, I have my birthday next week, can you come?" Xu Rongfei made circles on the ground with her toes, her cheeks were slightly red, and her beautiful eyes looked at him expectantly.
"Of course." Chen Fan smiled. "You are my sister."
He looked at the little girl lovingly.
Although I don't have any romantic feelings for her, it would be nice to have another sister.
Chen Fan has been practicing in the starry sky for five hundred years. Except for his teacher Cang Qingxian, he really has no one he is particularly close to. If he wastes time in emotional entanglements, he will not be able to overcome the tribulation in a short time and dominate his life.
"Is she just a sister..." Xu Rongfei's eyes darkened, but she soon smiled again.
As she jumped away, she turned back and waved: "Next Saturday at 7pm, don't forget it."
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head. After writing down the time, he put it behind him.
These days, he has been busy setting up the magic circle for the mountaintop villa. Although Wei Laosan found sea rocks on the seabed of 10,000 meters, the effect was still not satisfactory. After all, it is just an ordinary stone. Even if it washes on the seabed for thousands of years, the essence of water contained in it is too little.
"Looking at it this way, I'm afraid that the effectiveness of the spirit-guiding array is not even one-tenth."
He sighed inwardly.
But one-tenth is quite impressive, after all, it is the aura of the entire Yangui Lake. The surging water spiritual energy of Nuo Da Lake, if provided for him to practice alone, would be enough to push him to the Tongxuan realm in a very short time.
…
When Chen Fan returned to class, he naturally received envious and jealous looks from his male compatriots. Only Si Yingxia's eyes that occasionally looked over him were as cold as ice.
Saturday arrived quickly.
That night, Chen Fan followed the address given by Xu Rongfei and took a taxi to the Jinkang Huafu villa complex.
Jinkanghua Mansion is a mid-range villa area. A two-story small western-style building only sells for two to three million, which is far inferior to the luxury villas in Yunwu Villa that often cost tens of millions. Most of the people living here are middle-to-upper-class families in Chuzhou.
"welcome."
The birthday girl Xu Rongfei stood at the door and greeted the guests with a smile as bright as a flower.
She was dressed very beautifully today, wearing a white slim-fitting chiffon waisted short dress, which highlighted her slender waist and a pair of slender white thighs. She also wore light makeup on her face, wore exquisite earrings, and had a specially designed wavy hairstyle. She doesn't look like a student, but like a refined and cool urban white-collar beauty.
"Brother Chen Fan, you are here."
"I thought you wouldn't come."
Seeing Chen Fan, the smile on Xu Rongfei's face became even brighter, and her big eyes almost turned into crescents when she smiled.
"You are my sister, how could I not come?"
Chen Fan smiled and presented a small gift box with both hands.
"Happy birthday, this is a gift from my brother."
Inside the gift box was an earring made of jade. Chen Fan carved a magic circle inside, and the effect was no less effective than the spirit gathering plate given to Wei Laosan and others. As long as you wear this earring regularly, your whole person will be enveloped in a small spirit gathering array, and will be nourished by spiritual energy at all times, and many ailments, large and small, will basically disappear.
"And there are gifts? Thank you, brother Chen Fan." Xu Rongfei shouted out in surprise and quickly took it. She was even ready to open it on the spot, but was stopped by the cold-faced Jiang Churan next to her.
Gifts given by guests are generally not opened in person, as this is very rude.
"Now that you're here, hurry in and don't block the road at the door."
Jiang Churan's face seemed to be covered with frost, and he stared at Chen Fan with his big eyes, wondering why he was unhappy.
Chen Fan smiled, ignored Jiang Churan, said hello and pushed in the door.
There were many people sitting or standing in the villa. They were either Xu Rongfei's childhood playmates or classmates in middle school. Many people looked familiar, such as Li Yichen, Zhang Yumeng, Yang Chao, and even Han Yun.
"Chen Da...Mr. Chen?" Han Yun's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he came over with red wine.
She was the oldest of the group of children and already working. Wearing a tailored Chanel suit, with light makeup on her face, she looks charming. She is like a wealthy lady who stepped out of a Korean drama.
"Miss Han." Chen Fan nodded.
Han Yun pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, you're welcome, just call me Xiaoyun. You and Mr. Zheng are both equals, and I'm just your junior."
"Let's each call him his own name. I call you Han Yun, so just call me by my name." Chen Fan shook his head.
If it really depends on age, what does Mr. Zheng mean? In his eyes, he is just a child.
But he finally came back and was more willing to integrate into his current age and life. He had had enough of loneliness.
"Okay, I'll call you Chen Fan. Concubine will be very happy that you can come." Han Yun blinked, and water seemed to drip from his beautiful eyes.
Among everyone present, she was the only one who knew who Chen Fan was. Even the most wealthy people in Chuzhou have to respectfully call him 'Master Chen' when they meet him. 'It's not something that a mere friend of Wei Ziqing can describe.
"Hmph, Sister Han Yun is so unreserved. She's almost stuck with the one named Chen. She doesn't have any face no matter how old she is." Zhang Yumeng, who was sitting at the other end, snorted angrily.
She had been intimidated by Chen Fan at the auction reception before, but after talking to her friends later, she discovered that Wei Ziqing had a cold personality, and the friends she made were often not from the circle, but were independent and special figures. Although these people have arrogant personalities, they have no great achievements.
Besides, Wei Ziqing is Wei Ziqing, and Chen Fan is Chen Fan.
With Wei Ziqing's character, if you don't meet her face to face, she may not help you even if you ask her for help.
Seeing Han Yun's flattering attitude, Zhang Yumeng couldn't stand it, even if he was a friend for many years.
"Okay, okay, Sister Han Yun is the eldest sister in our circle after all." Other friends quickly advised her.
Li Yichen was holding a wine glass next to him and looking at Chen Fan playfully.
Since his last attempt failed, he decided to face up to this opponent. After searching Chen Fan's information in detail, he found that his father was also an official and the deputy county magistrate of Sishui County.
It was so unusual that the son of a deputy county magistrate was reduced to working in a bar and met the princess of the Wei family in Jiangbei.
There must be something unexpected behind Chen Fan.
But no matter how powerful he is personally, he can't offset the huge gap caused by his family. The difference between the son of the deputy county magistrate and the son of the deputy mayor is a world of difference.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get started."
A beautiful woman who looked less than forty years old came down the stairs. Her appearance was similar to that of Concubine Xu Rong, but she was more mature.
Seeing her, everyone stood up quickly and said in unison: "Hello, aunt."
Xu's mother smiled and nodded. Behind her was a strong and sturdy young man, who was clearly Chu Minghui. And it seems that Chu Minghui and Xu's mother seem to have a very close relationship, talking and laughing together.
"Minghui, go and call Feifei and the others in."
Xu's mother smiled and said to Chu Minghui next to her.
"Yes, Aunt Xu."
Chu Minghui strode out. When he passed by Chen Fan, he paused, glanced at him sharply, and then left with a disdainful snort.
Chen Fan's eyes were dull, and his heart was neither sad nor happy.
He once said that if Chu Minghui dared to be provocative like last time, he would never show mercy.
The words spoken by the dignified Immortal Lord are a thousand times and ten thousand times more powerful than the ancient emperor's Golden Rule. At that time, even if you have a great background, you will not be able to stop Chen Fan from killing you.
After Xu Rongfei and others came in, the dinner party officially started.
Chu Minghui rolled out a huge seven-layer cake with seventeen candles on it, representing Xu Rongfei's seventeenth birthday.
Everyone first sang happy birthday around the birthday boy, and then after the birthday boy blew out the candles, he closed his eyes and made a wish.
Concubine Xu Rong made a wish while clasping her hands, she opened her eyes slightly and looked at Chen Fan secretly.
"I made this wish when I was seventeen."
"I hope brother Chen Fan and I can grow old together..."
Although she was thinking silently in her heart, Chen Fan seemed to sense it. Facing the little girl's eager eyes with a hint of affection, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
He has been roaming the starry sky for five hundred years, undefeated in ten thousand battles, and his peerless grace has captivated countless talented goddesses. How could he be unfamiliar with such eyes?
'It's just that in this life, I will eventually fail you. '
Chen Fan sighed secretly in his heart.
'I have waited five hundred years for this opportunity to be reborn, not for you...'
When the wish is made and everyone divides the cake enthusiastically.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man with an elegant and handsome appearance walked in surrounded by a group of big men.
"How did you come?"
The moment Xu's mother saw the middle-aged man, her expression changed.
Concubine Xu Rong shouted in surprise from the side:
"dad?"
