Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 468 The Tranquility and Warmth of the Bamboo Grove Courtyard

The doctor's words were reassuring: the problem wasn't too serious, and he would recover after a period of rest.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, exhaustion washed over me.

The two women returned to the room where the ancestral spirits were being offered sacrifices to rest.

Ye Fan, leaning on his crutches, awkwardly made his way back to his room and lay down.

As his body touched the soft mattress, he couldn't help but reflect that although his physical fitness had improved after his rebirth, his body functions would still sluggish due to a lack of systematic training for too long.

This accident should serve as a wake-up call... After the splint is removed in a few days, I need to go to Teacher Huang's place to start using the private lessons I bought. I can't skip it again.

at this time.

Huang Yixin, a personal trainer at a gym on the other side of the city, was staring blankly at her phone's chat history.

Several times she picked up her phone to send a message to Ye Fan, that incredibly wealthy but elusive VIP client, to remind him not to waste the expensive private coaching package.

But remembering Ye Fan's calm advice, "If you want to practice, you'll naturally come to me," she silently put down her phone.

Earning this money... is easy, but it's not very fulfilling.

She sighed helplessly.

Silent all night.

The next morning.

Ye Fan was awakened by the feeling of constriction and throbbing pain in his ankle splint.

After washing up, he hopped on one foot and used his crutch for support, making a somewhat difficult way to the top of the stairs.

Just as they were about to challenge the new "Go Downstairs" dungeon, they unexpectedly heard rustling noises coming from downstairs.

Peeking out, I saw that Li Yifeng and Shi Kai were already up!

The two were cleaning up the "battlefield" left behind by last night's revelry in the yard, their faces contorted with pain and yawning constantly—empty bottles, bamboo skewers, used plates, and a barbecue grill covered in grease...

Although his movements weren't particularly nimble, he was definitely getting things done.

Ye Fan was greatly surprised.

Has the sun risen in the west?

You should know that when these two don't have classes, they're in the dorm and they absolutely won't get up until the sun is high in the sky!

His gaze swept towards the kitchen—the mystery was revealed!

Su Luming, wearing an apron, was helping out in the kitchen while supervising the two people's "labor reform" in the yard.

Her bright yet slightly menacing gaze was clearly more effective than any alarm clock.

Meanwhile, Xian Zuling was quietly and attentively busy in the kitchen, with the sizzling sound of frying eggs and the enticing aroma coming from the pan.

"Oh! Young Master Ye is awake?"

Li Yifeng spotted Ye Fan at the stairwell, immediately dropped the trash bag he was holding, jogged over, a familiar sly grin on his face, and reached out to help him, teasing him as he did so:

"Tsk tsk, Old Ye, your look... leaning on your cane, it's got a unique charm! A battle-worn handsome guy? How does it feel? Need me to get you some tea or water?"

Ye Fan used his strength to steady himself and retaliated without hesitation:

"Wow! Has the sun risen in the west? My son actually knows how to care for his elderly father? Not bad, not bad at all, his filial piety is commendable!"

"Get lost!"

Li Yifeng's smile froze instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He immediately flung his hand away and shouted exaggeratedly at Shi Kai:

"Old Shi! You should serve this old man! I'm afraid if I listen to him say a few more words, I might lose my temper and kick his good leg! If he really gets paralyzed, I'll be the one to blame!"

Shi Kai also came over, his expression completely different from Li Yifeng's playful grin, carrying genuine guilt and unease:

"Brother Fan, I'm so...so sorry! We were both so drunk last night, you fell down with such a loud thud, and we didn't even notice...it was so wrong of us!"

He rubbed his hands together, his tone sincere yet somewhat heavy.

Seeing Shi Kai's earnest expression, Ye Fan felt a warmth in his heart, waved his hand, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Alright, Lao Shi, it's really nothing serious. It's just a minor accident, I'll be fine in a few days. Don't worry about it."

He pushed away the hands of the two people who tried to help him up, shook his cane, and tried to get used to its rhythm:

"You all go about your business. The important thing is to keep the yard clean. It's not like I can't walk, I'll just walk slowly."

Li Yifeng and Shi Kai exchanged a glance. Seeing Ye Fan's resolute attitude, they stopped insisting and turned back to continue their "battle" with the garbage.

Ye Fan, leaning on his new "partner," moved toward the aroma wafting from the kitchen, making "tap, tap, tap" sounds.

A new day begins, tinged with a minor injury, in a slightly comical yet heartwarming morning.

......

Ye Fan moved into the kitchen doorway.

The morning light streamed through the window, casting a soft, warm golden glow on the busy figures.

Su Luming was supervising Li Yifeng and the others as they finished tidying up the last corners. Hearing the sound, he turned around, his brows furrowing slightly, and asked with a hint of reproachful concern, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer? Doesn't your foot hurt anymore?"

"I got up because I couldn't sleep." Ye Fan leaned against the door frame for support, his gaze passing over her and landing on Xian Zuling, who was intently staring at the frying pan.

The pan sizzled as the eggs touched the hot oil, releasing an enticing aroma.

He sniffed, a smile spreading across his face. "What delicious food are you making? It smells so good!"

Su Luming's face also broke into a smile as he pointed to the clay pot on the stove next to him, which was bubbling away: "The ancestral spirit is frying soft-boiled eggs and cooking a big pot of seafood porridge!"

She approached the casserole, carefully lifted the lid slightly, and a rich, fresh aroma instantly wafted out, mingling with the mellow flavor of rice and the sweetness of seafood.

"Look, you can tell it's good just by the smell! Zuling said this is the recipe you taught her last time, and she's never had such delicious porridge before."

When Xian Zuling heard that he was mentioned, he quickly turned around and glanced at Ye Fan, then quickly turned back to check the temperature, nodded slightly, and his ears turned slightly red.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work," Ye Fan said gently to the backs of the two girls.

After standing there for a while, he felt that the kitchen doorway was a bit crowded, so he slowly moved back to the courtyard in the dim morning light, leaning on his cane.

The morning air carried the unique freshness and coolness of the bamboo forest. The sunlight gently shone on my body, not at all glaring, but with just the right amount of warmth, soothing my injured ankle and slightly tired spirit.

About half an hour later.

Thanks to the "hard work" of Li Yifeng and Shi Kai, the courtyard was restored to its clean and tidy state.

Signals came from the kitchen that breakfast was ready.

Golden fried eggs, steaming hot seafood porridge, and several refreshing side dishes were brought to the restaurant.

Looking at the dappled sunlight filtering through the bamboo leaves and feeling the gentle breeze on his face, Ye Fan suddenly suggested, "The weather is so nice outside, why don't we bring it out and eat it in the yard? There's a table ready anyway."

The proposal was met with an immediate response.

"Great!" Su Luming's eyes lit up, and he began to direct the relocation of positions with his exceptional initiative.

The ancestral spirit was like a diligent little squirrel, carrying bowls, chopsticks, and side dishes back and forth.

Soon, the wooden table in the courtyard, covered with a simple tablecloth, was filled with a hearty breakfast.
