Chapter 236: Boss, Need House Call Service?
"Eat!"
Chen Fan swallowed that blackish piece of beef with an almost heroic expression on his face.
Su Ruochu looked at him expectantly, "How is it?"
"Not bad!" Chen Fan nodded expressionlessly.
"Really?"
Su Ruochu immediately picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of beef.
However, after just one bite, her expression changed dramatically.
"Yuck yuck yuck..."
"It's too terrible..."
Saying that, she moved the dish aside.
Chen Fan smiled and looked at the other two dishes.
"Tomato scrambled eggs, I recognize this one. But what is this dish..."
"Alfalfa meat," Su Ruochu seemed quite disheartened.
"Let me try." Chen Fan smiled reassuringly, "It's okay, practice makes perfect. These two dishes clearly look much better than the first one."
After tasting a bit of each, Chen Fan made up his mind.
For the sake of their lives, he must never allow this girl near the kitchen again.
Su Ruochu was deflated, her enthusiasm for learning to cook seemed to have been doused with cold water.
"How could this happen? I followed the book step by step."
Chen Fan smiled wryly and pulled her small hand, sitting on the sofa together.
"Dear wife, leave the rough work like cooking and making dishes to me in the future. You just need to be beautiful and stand behind me, cheering and shouting '666'."
Su Ruochu pouted, "Are you mocking me?"
Chen Fan immediately raised his hands, "I swear to God, absolutely not."
Su Ruochu huffed.
"When I go home for the summer vacation, I'll learn it properly. I'm sure I can master it."
Chen Fan smiled awkwardly, "I don't object to you learning, but you'd better have someone at home when you practice, otherwise I'm really worried the kitchen might get burned down..."
"Chen Fan!"
"Ouch, don't hit, I'm sorry..."
...
The two days of exams passed in a blur.
This semester, Chen Fan only attended a handful of classes.
He just crammed one night before the exams and, during the tests, answered the questions he could based on his understanding. As for his scores, he left it to fate.
After the exams, the brothers of Room 519 packed their bags and prepared to go home.
Liang Shichu's software development had reached a critical stage, so Chen Fan decided to postpone his return home for the time being.
He took a taxi to send Su Ruochu to the long-distance bus station.
In the waiting hall, Su Ruochu leaned against Chen Fan's shoulder, seeming reluctant to part.
After tasting the forbidden fruit, Su Ruochu had become more and more dependent on Chen Fan.
"Or... should I go with you and then take a bus back?"
Seeing her unwillingness to leave, Chen Fan offered to accompany her.
But Su Ruochu shook her head, "No need. My mom will pick me up at the station, and she'll definitely see you if you come along."
Recalling the first time he met Su Ruochu's mother, Chen Fan felt a bit helpless.
"When do you plan to tell your family?"
Su Ruochu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe sometime later. If I tell my mom now, she definitely won't agree."
Gently holding Chen Fan's hand, she whispered, "Don't be angry. I'll definitely tell my family when there's a suitable opportunity."
Chen Fan smiled, "For this matter, I'll listen to you."
"Mmhmm."
Su Ruochu tiptoed and lightly kissed Chen Fan's face.
"You have to behave yourself here, and don't mess around with other women, or else, hmph..."
Chen Fan looked pitiful, "I'm a young and vigorous man in my prime. What if I can't hold back?"
"Dear wife, you'd better come back soon to keep me company."
Su Ruochu glanced at Chen Fan and said in a low voice with a blushed face, "If you can't hold it in... deal with it yourself."
Chen Fan looked pitiful, "It's not the same as when you help me, it doesn't feel as good..."
For such intimate conversations between lovers, Su Ruochu still felt shy, and her pretty face turned red again.
"Scoundrel..."
Chen Fan chuckled and leaned closer to Su Ruochu's ear, whispering, "Dear wife, come back soon. We didn't finish the last lesson. Actually, I have another trick of building blocks here, we can study it together next time..."
"Yuck! I don't want to!"
Su Ruochu blushed and hurriedly dragged her suitcase towards the ticket gate.
It wasn't until she had her ticket checked and was about to board that she turned to look at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan waved at her with a smile.
After seeing Su Ruochu board the bus, he turned and left.
On the way back, Chen Fan called his family.
"Hello, Mom? Is Dad there?"
"Have you eaten? ... Don't always eat leftovers, it's not good for your health."
"Mom, let me tell you something. I want to go home a bit later this summer vacation."
"Oh no, it's not what you think. I found a job here, and I want to use the summer vacation to get some experience."
"Yes. Don't worry. I'll go back home for a visit before the end of the vacation."
"No need, no need, I still have enough living expenses..."
After about twenty minutes of listening to his mother's nagging on the phone, he finally hung up.
Chen Fan let out a long sigh of relief.
He had already started his entrepreneurial journey here and had earned some money.
In this era, Chen Fan could barely be considered among the wealthy.
However, his parents were still living in their old house in the countryside. During the phone call just now, his mother was even eating leftovers...
Chen Fan felt uneasy about this.
After being reborn, he had always been cautious and tread carefully.
He was afraid that if he was too flamboyant, he might reveal something.
Especially his foreknowledge of the future, Chen Fan was very afraid that he might accidentally say the wrong thing or divulge events that hadn't happened yet, arousing others' suspicions.
But now, after the phone call with his mother, Chen Fan suddenly realized something.
He was just an ordinary person.
Why bother worrying so much?
If he couldn't even ensure his family lived a good life after being reborn once, that would be a complete failure.
Regardless of what others said, he would just do things according to his own nature.
He made up his mind that once the antivirus software was launched, he would go back home and persuade his parents to buy a new house in the county town, no matter what.
Even if the elders didn't agree, he would find a way to give them some money to improve their living conditions.
...
The summer vacation officially began.
Chen Fan locked himself in his apartment, never going out, focusing on building the web navigation site. When hungry, he ate instant noodles.
Amidst Chen Fan's near-ascetic existence, the construction of the web navigation progressed faster and faster.
Chen Fan predicted that his web navigation would likely go online before the antivirus software's launch.
By then, it could perfectly ride on the tailwinds of the antivirus software's success.
On this day, Chen Fan rarely took a break to relax. While cooking in the kitchen alone, the doorbell rang.
Chen Fan was surprised, as no one except a few acquaintances knew he lived here.
Perhaps someone had rung the wrong doorbell.
Holding a spatula, he went to the door.
"Who is it?" Chen Fan called out.
A bewildering voice came from outside the door.
"Boss, need house call service?"
