"Zuimo, I need to go back to the Capital City first. I'll come visit you in a few days when I'm free, okay."
"..."
"Is there anything you particularly want to eat here? I'll bring it for you next time I come."
"..."
"The clothes here are quite dull, you know. I've kept the clothes you left at my house, but they might be out of fashion by now. I'll buy you some nicer ones next time, okay?"
"..."
"So take good care of yourself here, I'll go back first."
"..."
"If you want to see me, just ask your brother to send me an email. Or I can just give you my phone number."
"..."
"If you think of me, come to Mingyuan College to find me. I'm studying there now."
"..."
"I'm leaving now. I'll miss you."
The conversation was childish, it was basically Xiaofan talking to himself, and Shen Zuimo hadn't responded at all from start to finish.
And Xiaofan had to return as soon as possible.
The Ren Family had shown kindness to him. It's a simple fact, without Ren Zhongtian, there wouldn't be the Ye Xiaofan of today. Xiaofan could never repay the Ren Family fully.
Of course, if Xiaofan were a bit selfish, he could completely disregard this, after all, what Ren Zhongtian left Xiaofan with was the mission to use his abilities to help those in need. Nothing about the Ren Family was mentioned. In fact, Ren Zhongtian cared about the nation, leaving personal matters to his wife to manage. The method of fighting for shares every ten years was also her idea. But who could have predicted that the only son of the Ren Family would pass away so young?
But Xiaofan wasn't the kind of person who could be selfish. Even though he couldn't agree with what Old Mrs. Ren did, after all, Ren Ling's innocence had been entrusted to him. As long as the man wasn't a scoundrel, he should take up the responsibilities of a man.
Besides, Grandpa had once said, help the people of the Ren Family whenever you can.
Anyway, considering the long-standing relationship between the Ren and Ye Families, no matter the reason, Xiaofan had to hurry back to help the Ren Family.
Shen Zuimo walked slowly out of the room and stood on the balcony looking ahead. His finely chiseled features were as smooth and delicate as warm jade.
"How could I have ever fallen for such a childish high schooler? Like an idiot." Watching Ye Xiaofan walk away slowly, Shen Zuimo muttered and turned back into the room.
Childish? Idiot? Shen Zuimo, oh Shen Zuimo, you forgot Ye Xiaofan certainly don't know the reason anymore, because Ye Xiaofan only showed his childish side in front of you, Shen Zuimo. The two once fought over the last piece of meat in a bowl, it was that childish. But that kind of childishness was happy, beautiful, a pure state of completely giving oneself to another.
"Hmm? Had enough fun? Ready to go back?"
In Fan Lingtian's office, upon hearing Xiaofan was leaving, Fan Lingtian raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yeah, sorry for the trouble over the past few days, there's still some business waiting for me to handle in the Capital City." Xiaofan said helplessly.
"Alright then, here, this is a special pass for Yanhuang Soul, keep it safe, so you won't have to climb the cliff next time, it's dangerous." Fan Lingtian said as he handed Xiaofan a badge with his ID number and photo, clearly something Fan Lingtian had prepared for him during Xiaofan's time with Yanhuang Soul.
"Grandpa Fan, this is..."
"Xiaofan, I know you're deeply in love with Junjie's sister. And as a person, you're trustworthy, both Ren Zhongtian and I believe in you, so naturally, I wouldn't doubt you either. I just hope that if someday we need help, you can lend a hand." Fan Lingtian said calmly.
"Grandpa Fan, you're overestimating me. How could my meager strength be needed by Yanhuang Soul?" Xiaofan laughed.
"Ren Zhongtian once made the whole world tremble all by himself. What about Yanhuang Soul? It's just an organization, its strength comes from unity. But ever since Ren Zhongtian passed, Red Butterfly has been on the move like crazy. But you, you can stir up the whole base by yourself. If it wasn't for knowing your intentions, we might not have even caught you. We certainly want to curry favor with someone who can take down Sato." Fan Lingtian laid everything out blatantly, without any euphemism.
"Getting praised like this is quite stressful. I initially wanted to learn more about the Red Butterfly from you, but I can't, I'm pressed for time and need to head back soon." Xiaofan nodded towards Fan Lingtian as he spoke.
"Go ahead. I'll explain it slowly if there's a chance in the future. Kid, don't shame your grandfather, and don't shame Ren Zhongtian either."
"Okay. By the way, Xiaolei..." Xiaofan suddenly called out.
Lei Xiaolei walked in slowly.
"Grandpa Fan, Xiaolei's mistake isn't serious enough to warrant expulsion, otherwise..."
"Xiaofan, no need, Elder Fan has already been very kind to me. Thank you." Lei Xiaolei knew what Xiaofan was going to say, but he had already decided to follow Xiaofan.
"Hehe, even if I wanted to bring Xiaolei back now, it wouldn't be possible. Xiaofan, go."
"Then I'm off. Brother-in-law, take care of Zuimo."
"Of course, that's my own sister. Of course, I'll take care of her, why are you, an outsider, worrying?"
"Oh, and after I get back, those photos of the beautiful girls..."
"Hey, hey, hey, are you going back on your word?"
"Don't worry, I won't forget." Xiaofan nodded to both of them and then left the room with Lei Xiaolei.
With the pass, and it's a special pass, Xiaofan and Lei Xiaolei were escorted by members of the organization, and at the roadside at the foot of the mountain, they drove towards the Capital City.
"Elder Fan, why not just have him join Yanhuang Soul? This kid has a lot of skills, if other organizations get their eyes on him, that could be trouble." Shen Junjie said softly after Xiaofan and Lei Xiaolei left.
"I know, it's not really difficult to keep Xiaofan if we use your sister. You think I don't want to? You mentioned he scored ninety-one the first time he entered the evasion training room, full scores the second and third times, and by the fifth day, he stayed in there for ten consecutive minutes scoring full marks every time, such a prodigy, was Ren Zhongtian at his age any different? Staying at Yanhuang Soul could delay him. Otherwise, why do you think we didn't recruit Ye Aotian's grandson when we approached him initially? He's thinking further ahead than anyone."
"I see, Elder Fan is indeed wise." Shen Junjie nodded in realization.
Meanwhile, far away in H City, at Xiaofan's old home.
'Achoo.'
"The weather has cooled, Xiaofan, that brat, hasn't called home in a long time, wonder what he's up to. Seriously." Ye Aotian muttered as he fiddled with herbs, his ultimate goal, perhaps only he knew.
