"So, does that mean Zuimo was just lying to me about finding some man in her message?"
Xiaofan was indeed exceptionally intelligent. If Shen Junjie was Zuimo's brother, then the message Zuimo left for him was fake. The real purpose was probably to keep him out of danger.
She even deliberately had Lin Miaoke send over a bank card with millions, trying to cover up the truth and sever ties with him. How childish.
All of a sudden, Xiaofan figured everything out.
Shen Zuimo had forgotten about him, which indeed made Xiaofan very nervous and scared, almost to the point of madness. But now, things were very different. Because there was no man around Shen Zuimo to make him worry.
In other words, as long as Zuimo regained her memory, she would be with him again. The real headache was how to make Shen Zuimo remember their past together.
In the morning, Fan Lingtian announced at the base that last night was actually a drill to test everyone's vigilance.
Of course, this explanation was just to brush off Xiaofan's actions from the previous night. Naturally, some people wouldn't easily believe it, such as Elder Shan from last night.
"Hahaha, so this kid is Mr. Ye's grandson. Hahaha, truly remarkable. Hahaha..."
This Elder Shan was a straightforward person. Early in the morning, he learned about the situation from Shen Junjie, and hastily came over to see what Ye Aotian's grandson looked like.
"I apologize for last night's offense, and hope the elder won't mind." Xiaofan naturally recognized the elder who blocked his way last night, and the Mr. Ye just mentioned should indeed be his grandfather. So, Xiaofan responded very politely.
"Ah, Mr. Ye's teachings have surely produced a fine child. Look at your character, it reflects Mr. Ye's style back in the day. Remarkable, truly remarkable."
Back in the day, Ye Aotian was very well known in Yanhuang Soul, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for him to be as famous as Ren Zhongtian. Ye Aotian's reputation wasn't about combat, but about his character and the many lives he saved during missions.
Xiaofan had already heard people praise his grandfather many times, but each time he felt proud.
After a few casual exchanges, Elder Shan returned to rest because he hadn't slept well last night. Meanwhile, Xiaofan was pondering whether to see Zuimo again.
"Since you're here at Yanhuang Soul, why not stay a few more days? This is where your grandparents stayed when they were young. Look around, and learn about Yanhuang Soul. After all, you are a descendant of loyalists, and if there's a chance, there's no problem in cheering you on." After Elder Shan left, Fan Lingtian slowly said to Xiaofan.
In fact, Fan Lingtian was eager for Xiaofan to agree to stay and become a member of Yanhuang Soul. He had heard about the battle at Ye Dahe's house and witnessed last night's events. In addition, not only did he kill Ghost, the head of the Five Ghosts, but he also defeated Sato from Japan. Sato was no ordinary assassin.
However, Fan Lingtian didn't dare to be too hasty. Xiaofan had his own choices to make, and besides, Ye Aotian surely had his plans.
To stay and observe Yanhuang Soul for a few days was something Xiaofan would be more than happy to do. Who knew how much he wanted to spend even just two more minutes with Shen Zuimo, hoping to see her every day.
Love is so blind. Xiaofan was not a saint; he was just an ordinary boy. At this time, he was simpleminded and just hoped that Shen Zuimo would quickly remember who he was.
Receiving Fan Lingtian's leniency, Xiaofan was indeed grateful. After all, Fan Lingtian hadn't mentioned a word today about last night's sneaking into the base and causing trouble.
"Then I'll stay and take a look around." Xiaofan agreed readily, worried that Fan Lingtian might change his mind.
"Well then, go get some rest. After all, you were exhausted last night. You didn't sleep a wink." Fan Lingtian said gently.
"No need, I'm fine, I'm full of energy." Rest? Not a chance. It was daytime, and with Shen Zuimo definitely having her training, he was there to see her, how could he sleep now?
"Well, Junjie, take Xiaofan around, let him move freely without constraints."
"Yes, Elder Fan." Shen Junjie nodded in response.
"Hehe, big brother-in-law, sorry about last night. I really thought you were Zuimo's man and kept calling Zuimo so intimately. So reckless of me." Xiaofan looked at the aloof Shen Junjie and immediately apologized with a smile.
"Ahem, don't call me that, I never agreed to let my sister marry you." Shen Junjie pouted, this guy's personality really switched quickly. Seeing him sticking to him like glue, Junjie couldn't figure out why his sister was so devoted to this guy.
"What are you saying? Oh, right, big brother-in-law isn't married yet, right? I guess so, working at the base keeps you busy, no time for dating is normal. Plus, as luck would have it, I know lots of pretty girls in H City. Of course, I'm with Zuimo, so I won't be approaching them casually. Next time, I'll get you some photos to choose from?" Xiaofan was in a good mood, and his carefree, irreverent demeanor reappeared.
This was the Xiaofan everyone knew well—casual and unrefined, but somehow reassuring when facing serious matters.
"What are you saying, am I that kind of person? I'll send you my email; just send the photos when you have time and I'll pick myself." Shen Junjie gave Xiaofan a peculiar look and spoke quietly.
"Ahem..." Fan Lingtian couldn't help chuckling at the conversation between the two young men. This Ye Xiaofan was truly self-assured. Ye Aotian's grandson was quite the eccentric character.
"Alright, it's getting late, I have to rest for a bit now. You kid really caused a stir last night." Fan Lingtian rubbed his old waist, clearly showing that lack of sleep was quite a burden at his age.
"Grandpa Fan, I'm truly sorry. It was my impulsiveness."
"It's alright, we kept too much from you before. Now that you're growing so quickly, there's no need to hide things from you anymore. However, Red Butterfly is not that easy to handle." Fan Lingtian said slowly.
"Grandpa Fan, um... has Xiaolei come?" Xiaofan, of course, wouldn't forget his friend. Actually, he was also worried that the people of Yanhuang Soul would punish him.
