Chapter 9 Too Much, Or Not Brothers at All

The next day, Ye Fan stayed in the hospital until noon before leaving.

Arriving at school, Ye Fan first went to the Academic Affairs Office to fill out an application for a leave of absence, then took it around to various departments for approval stamps. After getting all the stamps, he returned to the Academic Affairs Office to submit it.

Having dealt with the leave of absence, Ye Fan then went to the dormitory.

As soon as he arrived at the dorm, he saw Zhao Xiaotian in deep sleep, even snoring loudly.

This guy, did he play video games all night last night?

"Zhao Xiaotian, Xiaotian, wake up," Ye Fan patted his cheek.

He's been sleeping for days now, and is still sleeping. Really impressive.

"What, I want to sleep a bit more, don't disturb me," Zhao Xiaotian said without even opening his eyes, swatting at Ye Fan's hand that was on his face.

Who is it, stopping me from sleeping.

So annoying.

"The dorm manager is here!" Ye Fan shouted into Zhao Xiaotian's ear.

"Where, where?" Zhao Xiaotian jumped up, looking at the door in panic.

But...

There was nothing.

After a two-second pause, he turned his head and saw Ye Fan sitting on his chair, watching him with a grin that seemed utterly punchable.

"Good lord, you bully me like this, you really have guts," Zhao Xiaotian said angrily.

Aren't we brothers anymore?

How can you prank your brother like this?

"Of course we're brothers. I've come back to take a break from school. Remember to contact me if you need anything," Ye Fan said, patting Zhao Xiaotian on the shoulder.

He didn't really have much to pack, mainly he just came back to the dorm to see Zhao Xiaotian.

He and Zhao Xiaotian have been friends for several years, having spent their high school years together.

Their friendship was deep-rooted. Now that he was taking a break from school and Zhao was still studying, naturally, they would see each other less often.

This time, it was like saying goodbye.

"Ye Fan, are you really taking a break from school?" Zhao Xiaotian felt a tinge of discomfort upon hearing this.

With the break, there will be no more chances to see each other since "Franny" would be gone with the kids.

Ah, why am I left alone?

"It's fine, come to my place for a meal when you're free. I'm going to check out some apartments in a bit. Alright, I'm off," Ye Fan smiled.

Today, he had other things waiting for him.

"Then let me walk you out," Zhao Xiaotian immediately stood up and said.

"Alright," Ye Fan didn't refuse. Who knew when they would meet again.

The two left the dormitory and headed outside.

Ye Fan didn't bring anything with him; after all, the dorm mainly had items like quilts, which would all need to be replaced. As for clothes, he packed a relatively new set and didn't take the rest. He put them all in a big bag and, once downstairs, tossed it into the trash.

These were all old clothes that he had worn for two or three years. It was time to throw them away.

Once everything was sorted out, he would go buy some decent clothes.

"Hey, isn't that Ye Fan? Where are you off to?" At that moment, two young men walked up from the front, one of whom was the well-known rich second-generation student, Zhang Liang, along with his lackey, Qian Xiaohao.

Ye Fan couldn't be bothered with such people; these types always liked to make their presence felt.

Before, we were all in the basketball group, and there was a bit of friction by accident. That's when Zhang Liang, with nothing better to do, started looking for trouble and to mess with me.

It was so boring it was nuts.

Zhang Liang was incensed when he saw that Ye Fan was actually ignoring him.

This guy, he's actually getting angry now.

"I heard that Xia Lili dumped you. That's just pathetic, getting dumped by a woman, hahaha." Zhang Liang laughed with such delight.

Humph, what's the use of being handsome if you're just a poor loser.

In this society, you have to be rich to get by.

"What are you talking about, the whole school knows it was my brother who didn't fancy that gold-digger and dumped her!" At this point, Zhao Xiaotian immediately stood up.

Damn, this Zhang Liang is truly disgusting.

How comes I bump into him everywhere, like a fly so revolting.

"Zhao Xiaotian, you're not much better, huh, can't even find a girlfriend, a forever single dog." Then, Qian Xiaohao, standing next to Zhang Liang, spoke up with obvious disdain on his face.

A single dog, also worthy of speaking!

Humph!

"Damn, what's wrong with being single, did I bother anyone? I earn my own money and spend it on myself, I don't have to provide for a woman and yet she still left. Qian Xiaohao, where's your girlfriend?" Zhao Xiaotian wasn't afraid at all as he cursed back.

Exactly, Qian Xiaohao's girlfriend just fell for someone else.

"You, you bastard, I'm definitely going to beat you to death today." Qian Xiaohao instantly became furious, his eyes fixating on Zhao Xiaotian with a wish to pin him down and beat him up.

"This is a school, and besides, Xia Lili breaking up with me is our business, what's it to an outsider like you, unless, you're interested in that woman? Chase after her if you want. Anyway, I've been there, done that, it got boring for me, so she's all yours!" With that, Ye Fan pulled Zhao Xiaotian and began walking out.

Not giving a damn about Zhang Liang's attitude.

Whatever, Zhang Liang has played with how many girls? But hey, they were all willing.

Of course, Ye Fan wouldn't meddle in these things, it's their private life.

Moreover, he knew that before Xia Lili was dating him, Zhang Liang had pursued Xia Lili and just hadn't succeeded, that's all.

After all, Xia Lili was somewhat of a campus belle. It wasn't surprising that Zhang Liang was interested in her.

Anyway, all these issues have nothing to do with him anymore.

His current business was to take good care of his children and Bai Susu.

"Fan brother, you're so awesome. You didn't see how Zhang Liang's face turned as ugly as a pig's liver, hahaha. Besides, the king of the sea and the gold-digger do seem pretty well matched!" Zhao Xiaotian burst into laughter.

For the first time, he realized that his brother Ye Fan could be so venomous with words.

"Alright, this is as far as I go. Study hard, and if you need help with anything, remember to call me, alright? We're brothers for life!" Ye Fan patted Zhao Xiaotian on the shoulder as he spoke.

"Don't worry, you keep pushing forward to willingly make my goddess your woman. I'm waiting to toast at your wedding, hahaha!" Zhao Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and laughed brightly.

However, to Ye Fan, that smile looked strangely sleazy no matter how you looked at it.

"I'll try my best, but man, your smile is really sleazy; don't smile like that again, it's kinda scary!" Ye Fan curled his lip in disgust.

I really wonder what naughty scenarios my brother is imagining in his head.

Otherwise, why would his smile look so lewd?

"That's too much, man. Who talks about a brother like that?" Zhao Xiaotian said, genuinely astonished as he punched Ye Fan gently on the shoulder.

This guy, has he become all high-and-mighty now that he has a wife and child?

How dare he say my smile is lewd!

Humph, got a woman and a child and forgot about his brothers!
