Chapter 15 Don't Do Anything Rash

Lin Fan looked back at the messy kitchen, reached out and touched his nose, coughed softly, and said, "I've got a cold. I'm making some traditional Chinese medicine to drink."

After he finished speaking, Gu Yajing gave Lin Fan a look of disdain and then continued, "No wonder there's a smell of medicine. If you have a cold, you can go to the pharmacy and buy Western medicine. Who still takes traditional Chinese medicine these days? It's bitter and troublesome."

"Good medicine tastes bitter," Lin Fan replied softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yajing couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, then directly stepped past Lin Fan and was about to walk into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately stretched out a hand to block Gu Yajing and asked, "What are you doing?"

Gu Yajing looked up at Lin Fan in confusion, then peeked into the kitchen with her little head and replied, "The kitchen is in such a mess. Can you do the cleaning?"

"No," Lin Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head.

"Actually, I'm not very good at it either. Let's call a cleaning lady," Gu Yajing's face showed a trace of embarrassment. She scratched her head and said softly.

"Okay, let's call one tomorrow," Lin Fan nodded, then turned around and closed the door.

The Foundation Establishment Pill hadn't been refined yet. It was estimated that it would take until midnight or even tomorrow morning to be completed.

Thinking of this, in the gaze of Gu Yajing, Lin Fan walked towards the hall. After fumbling around for a while, he took out a set of keys and directly locked the kitchen.

As he locked the door, he said, "The smell is too strong."

Then, under Gu Yajing's gaze, he returned to his room.

Gu Yajing stood there, looking at the locked kitchen door in confusion, then at Lin Fan's room. She scratched her head and muttered, "Is Lin Fan out of his mind? Why is he getting more and more strange?"

As for Lin Fan, after returning to the room, he immediately walked towards the bathroom. The smell of medicine on his body was so strong that it made one feel dizzy just by smelling it.

Lin Fan began to regret taking off his clothes when refining the pill. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten this smell all over him.

"Sigh, there's still a lack of some conditions after all. Fortunately, the Foundation Establishment Pill isn't a very high-level pill. It's okay as long as I can make it with some effort," Lin Fan said as he scrubbed his body.

"I've been back for so long, but I still haven't met a cultivator. To be honest, I'm a little expectant."

"I wonder how my parents are doing. I'll call and ask them later."

...

After taking a shower, Lin Fan returned to his room, picked up his phone, and called his mother.

He dialed the number, and after a long time, there was no answer on the other end. Lin Fan frowned slightly, and a sense of worry welled up in his heart.

"Xiaofan," just when Lin Fan thought his mother wouldn't answer, his mother's voice rang in his ears, but the voice sounded extremely tired.

"Mom, how are you and Dad?" Lin Fan collected himself and asked softly.

"We're fine. How about you? Have you been studying hard? Do you lack anything? If you do, you must tell Mom," on the other end of the phone, his mother's voice seemed a little more cheerful, perhaps because of Lin Fan's call.

When Lin Fan heard his mother's words, a delicate nerve in his heart seemed to be touched. When the company was on the verge of closing down, his parents had never put any pressure on him.

"Mom," Lin Fan didn't answer his mother's question but called out again.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Xiaofan?" On the other end of the phone, his mother seemed to sense that something was wrong with Lin Fan and asked.

Lin Fan collected himself and replied softly, "It's nothing. I just miss you and Dad. I'm fine here, and you don't have to worry about my studies."

"That's good."

"Xiaofan, I'm still busy here, so I'll hang up now."

Just as his mother was about to hang up the phone, Lin Fan said hurriedly, "By the way, Mom, National Day is just a few days away. I'll come and visit you and Dad then."

There was a slight pause on the other end of the phone. After a long time, his mother's voice came, "Xiaofan, you'd better not come. Take advantage of National Day to read more books at home. Your dad and I have decided that we'll come back to accompany you after a while."

Lin Fan paused slightly. After a moment, he said, "Mom, take care of yourself."

"Okay, I know. Why are you so naggy at such a young age? I'll hang up now," his mother on the other end of the phone hung up the phone in a hurry.

Lin Fan put down his phone. Recalling the kind smiles of his parents, he was even more determined to help them manage the company.

"Lin Fan," at this moment, Gu Yajing's voice came from outside the door again.

"What's the matter again?" Lin Fan asked.

"There's someone knocking on the door downstairs. It's already dark, and I didn't dare to open it. Do you want to go down and take a look?" Outside the door, Gu Yajing's voice sounded a little scared.

"Don't be afraid. You can go and rest first. I'll go and have a look," Lin Fan opened the door and saw Gu Yajing standing at the door wearing a pink camisole, with a slight blush on her face.

"What are you looking at?" Sensing Lin Fan's gaze, Gu Yajing instinctively reached out and hugged her chest, looking up at Lin Fan with her head held high.

Hearing this, Lin Fan instinctively took another look at Gu Yajing's protected chest.

"You're still looking!" Gu Yajing let out a coquettish cry, and her beautiful eyes glared at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan seemed not to have heard Gu Yajing's words. His pupils shrank, and his gaze was fixed on Gu Yajing's chest.

"You... What are you going to do?" Seeing Lin Fan's gaze as if he was about to invade, Gu Yajing's pretty face became filled with fear. Her delicate body stepped back, but after just two steps, she retreated against the wall.

"I'm warning you. Don't do anything rash," Gu Yajing put on a fierce look and threatened.

Just then, Lin Fan suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Gu Yajing.

Gu Yajing had nowhere to retreat. She watched as Lin Fan's hand came towards her and suddenly landed on her collarbone.

"Ah..." Gu Yajing opened her red lips and was about to scream when a hand suddenly covered her mouth.

"Don't move," Lin Fan said with a serious expression, his gaze fixed on Gu Yajing's fragrant neck. He gently wiped it with his finger, raised his finger to take a look, and asked Gu Yajing seriously, "Didn't you just take a shower? Why is there still something dirty here?"

"I... I accidentally splashed some when I was making juice just now," Gu Yajing quickly broke free from Lin Fan's hand and explained hurriedly.

"Oh," Lin Fan nodded and turned to leave.

"Lin Fan... What on earth do you mean?" Gu Yajing let out a coquettish cry when she saw Lin Fan leaving like this.

"What do you mean?" A trace of a smile flashed across Lin Fan's face, and he said indifferently.

"Ding dong~"

Just then, the knock on the door downstairs sounded again. Lin Fan's expression became serious, and he slowly walked downstairs.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan directly opened the door.

In front of his eyes was a man wearing a suit and leather shoes, dressed like a bodyguard, with a cold expression on his face.

"Are you Lin Fan?" The man held his head high arrogantly, with a trace of anger on his face, and asked Lin Fan.

Lin Fan glanced at the man indifferently and said, "What's the matter?"
