"Hey, Xiao Fan, why are you back? Didn't you go to class?" Ye Fan had just arrived home when he heard a surprised female voice.

Ye Fan looked towards the source of the sound, and it turned out that Cao Xin was coming. Ye Chu also returned home for a rare occasion, and sat with Cao Xin in the yard, chatting with his grandparents.

"Sister Xin is back. I have been busy for a while and want to take a rest today. How about you, how are you preparing for the exam?" Ye Fan asked happily. After all, Cao Xin basically lives at home or at school when she is in her third year of high school.

Now, prepare for the exam to study abroad.

Cao Xin said with a smile: "Of course there will be no problem with the exam. My parents and alumni from Stanford have sent me a lot of exam-taking materials and tips, and I have read them all."

When Ye Fan heard what Cao Xin said, he felt relieved and said, "That's good. If your TOEFL score is better then, it would be best if you can apply for a scholarship from Stanford. This will reduce the pressure on my uncle and aunt."

After all, in this era, there are less than 40,000 students from mainland China studying in the United States, and there are still relatively few overseas students who can pass the TOEFL exam and apply for scholarships from foreign universities. Only some elites or top academics take this approach.

Other international students go abroad in two situations. One is the government-sponsored students who are selected outstanding talents.

Second, self-financed students must have an American citizen as a financial guarantee. As depicted in the TV series "Yenjing People in New York", self-financing students need to work by themselves to make a living and pay for tuition, which is quite difficult.

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Cao Xin finally looked a little stressed. After thinking about the situation at home, she said firmly: "Xiao Fan, don't worry, I will definitely be able to apply for the scholarship!"

Ye Fan also knew about the situation in Cao Xin's family. Although Ye Ping and Cao Yusheng both worked at Yanda, they were in the Department of Archeology after all. If Cao Xin wanted to study abroad at her own expense, it would put a lot of pressure on her family's manager.

So Ye Fan also said with a serious face: "Sister Xin, don't worry and take the exam, there's me too!"

When Cao Xin heard this, she understood what Ye Fan meant and laughed happily without saying anything.

When the others heard this, they also looked pleased.

But when Ye Fan saw Ye Chu, he smiled reluctantly. Although Ye Chu concealed it very well, Ye Fan could tell at a glance that there was something on Ye Chu's mind, but he didn't ask now and just started chatting with everyone normally.

After a while, Ye Fan and the others heard Wu Chuchu calling everyone to eat, so they got up and walked towards the living room.

However, Ye Fan deliberately fell behind a few steps, pulled Ye Chu and asked quietly: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you worried?"

Ye Chu didn't expect that he could hide it so well, and Ye Fan could see it. Hearing Ye Fan's question, he shook his head and said, "It's okay. Maybe the training volume has been a bit heavy recently, so I need to take a good rest."

Then he walked into the living room.

Ye Fan was now more sure that Ye Chu had something on his mind, and it had nothing to do with training, but Ye Chu didn't say anything, and Ye Fan didn't continue to ask, and walked in...

While Ye Fan was immersed in cooking, Cao Xin suddenly asked: "Xiao Fan, since you are not going to class tonight, what are you going to do?"

Ye Fan was stunned when he heard Cao Xin's words. He didn't need to look up to know that other people's eyes turned to him. After all, after Ye Fan signed up for the art exam training class, he rarely didn't go to class.

"If I tell the truth and want to go to Monopoly, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death if I tell the truth. It's already at this point. Jingwen and Huayi are probably off work, so what excuse should I give? Waiting online, it's quite urgent!" Ye Fan

I thought anxiously.

Seeing that Ye Fan couldn't think of a suitable reason for a moment and lowered his head, he rolled his eyes and pretended to swallow the food in his mouth. He raised his head and changed the subject and said: "Sister Xin, ask me what I am doing at night. Do you want to do it again?"

Want me to go shopping with you?"

Hearing this, Cao Xin said with a look of disdain: "Hey, who wants to go shopping with you? It's not like I don't have money. I'm just worried that you'll be bored alone at night, so I'll take you to relax."

At this time, Ye Fan saw Ye Chu, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he said with a smile: "Senior Brother Wu just went back to Yanjing to rest for a few days. Didn't I say before that my eldest brother is so good at fighting, but today he happened to be fine, so let me

I’ll ask my eldest brother to go to Houhai, and we’ll have a discussion.”

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Ye Chu was confused: 'Why does it involve me? What's wrong with me?'

When Wu Chuchu heard this, she said angrily: "Xiao Fan, you are bragging on your own. You go and compete by yourself. Why are you bringing Ye Chu with you? You two are not allowed to go anywhere at night."

Lin Fang also said: "Yes, I'm going to Houhai to have a discussion at night, I hope you can think of it."

Ye Jianguo knew his two grandsons well. He had already noticed that one was worried and the other was talking nonsense. Hearing the conversation between a few people, he smiled and said nothing to see what Ye Fan would do next.

After hearing what Lin Fang said, Ye Fan asked instead: "Grandma, is there any news from Teacher Chang?"

Lin Fang replied: "Not yet, don't worry, I will let you know when there is news."

"Oh, okay then." After saying this, Ye Fan showed a "disappointed" expression. Cao Xin didn't say anything after seeing this.

Seeing that the topic was successfully changed, Ye Fan silently praised his acting skills.

Then Ye Fan thought to himself: 'I just happened to take my eldest brother to the rich place with me. I have a free bodyguard and can take him to relax. It really kills two birds with one stone. As for Sister Xin, why is a girl going to that place? She can spend more time at home with her.

Are your grandparents not good? It's definitely not because of your problem just now that I almost couldn't get out of the house, so I didn't take you there! Yes, that's it.'

While thinking about it, Ye Fan also speeded up the cooking. He finished eating in a short while and then returned to the room.

After closing the door, Ye Fan changed his clothes, then stood by the window, observing Ye Chu's movements.

After a long time, Ye Chu finally finished eating and walked to the room. Ye Fan was very surprised. Ye Conan Fan went online instantly and analyzed: "Brother came back today. He was obviously worried. After eating, he went back to the room and looked at it."

It doesn't look like he's going out, emm...I understand, it really looks like...'

After thinking about it, Ye Fan quietly opened the door, his face as if nothing had happened, but he walked quickly towards Ye Chu's room.

Opening the door gently, Ye Fan saw Ye Chu already lying on the bed, staring at the roof, not knowing what he was thinking.

Like an agent, Ye Fan looked behind him and found that no one was paying attention, so he quickly entered the room and closed the door.

Ye Fan turned around and saw that Ye Chu's eyes had shifted to him, staring at him calmly.

Ye Fan didn't take it seriously and walked forward and said: "Brother, change your clothes. I will take you to a good place tonight."

Ye Chu ignored him and said quietly: "Xiao Fan, do you know that you looked like a thief just now?"

Ye Fan suddenly had a dark look on his face when Ye Chu answered the question and said he looked like a thief.

However, Ye Fan saw that Ye Chu was in a bad mood, so he said in a different way: "Brother, the place I am going to tonight is more dangerous and I need your protection. Just tell me whether you want to go or not."

When Ye Chu heard what Ye Fan said, he curled his lips and said: "It's a good place, but it's also quite dangerous. It needs protection. It's not a place like a bar, right? You don't have a doorkeeper, and you just said Wu Jing

If you come back to discuss with me, it’s probably nonsense.”

But after all, Ye Chu still got up and changed his clothes.

Seeing this, Ye Fan gave Ye Chu a thumbs up and said, "Brother, your studies are really not in vain. You have no analytical skills. A friend asked me to go to Monopoly tonight. I can't refuse. If it weren't for you,

Where do I dare to go?"

Ye Chu glanced at Ye Fan with disdain and said disdainfully: "Isn't it difficult for you to refuse? Even if you want to go, you can call me and find a free bodyguard. I'm embarrassed to expose you!"

‘????’ Hearing Ye Chu’s words, Ye Fan had a black question mark on his face: ‘Eldest brother also traveled through time? Otherwise, how could he say this?’

Before Ye Fan could think about it, Ye Chu changed his clothes, walked to the door, and said to Ye Fan: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you leave quickly? We won't be able to leave after my mother and the others have finished eating.

.”

Hearing Ye Chu's words, Ye Fan came back to his senses and quickly said with admiration: "Brother, you are still thoughtful, let's leave now."

However, Ye Fan saw Ye Chu quietly opening the door, secretly observed outside, then opened the door and stepped out.

Those smooth movements made him look more like a thief than Ye Fan. It seemed that Ye Chu often sneaked out when he was in school. Ye Fan, who saw this scene, instantly broke his guard: "That's it? You had the nerve to accuse me just now."

?'.

Ye Chu, who had walked some distance away, heard no movement behind him. He turned around and saw Ye Fan still in the room, looking at him with a strange expression. His face could not help but feel a little hot. He pretended to be nonchalant and waved to Ye Fan.

, motioning for him to follow.

Seeing this, Ye Fan had no choice but to follow Ye Chu's example, put his feet up and followed softly.

However, when the two of them walked to the middle of the courtyard, they saw Ye Jianguo looking at them with a confused expression. The situation was very awkward, and they were most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.

Fortunately, Ye Jianguo reacted quickly. He touched his stomach, turned around and walked into the living room, blocking the view of other people for the two of them, and said, "I seem a little hungry, I'm eating some fruit."

Ye Fan and Ye Chu looked at each other and hurried towards the door.

After leaving the courtyard, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, laughed secretly, and then set off to the rich...

When Cao Xin finished her meal and found that both of them were not there, she yelled at the door: "You left me alone, Ye Fan, Ye Chu, if you have the guts, don't come back!!!!"

Ye Jianguo was eating apples in the living room, watching Cao Xin venting in the yard, and thought happily: 'Oh, I can only maintain this boring life by seeing how much fun they have!'

But thinking that Cao Xin will go abroad next year, Ye Jianguo sighed in his heart: 'But days like this will become less and less in the future.'

Of course, Ye Fan and Ye Chu, who were on their way to the rich house, didn't know the situation in the yard yet.

I don’t know what kind of scene will be waiting for them when they come back...

I originally wanted to post it before 12 o'clock, so it would be the third update. My laptop keyboard at home is slow to type, so I didn't have time. But now that I'm back to work, I type when I have time. I rarely type all day long. I hope readers who like this book will read more.
Chapter completed!
