Chapter 545: I'm Waiting for Fate's Verdict
After last night's race, Chen Fan became truly famous within Yan Qing's circle of young masters.
Especially Xiao Si, Hou-zi, and their group, who were previously hostile towards him, now couldn't wait to cling to Chen Fan's leg and call him their idol.
The reality was indeed this laughable and bizarre.
Previously, Chen Fan wanted to connect with Yan Qing, even deliberately getting close to him and helping write songs for his band.
The goal was simply to become friends with Yan Qing and join this circle.
However, the effect wasn't obvious, as the young masters surrounding Yan Qing didn't think much of Chen Fan.
Who would have thought that an unintentional act, Chen Fan's race last night, would directly subdue these young masters.
They were all pestering Yan Qing to call Chen Fan out, wanting to meet their idol and also learn some driving skills from him.
"He's a boss, with tons of things to do every day. You think he's like you, fooling around all day with nothing to do?" Yan Qing cursed, then had to make a promise.
"Alright, alright, I got it. Once he has time, I'll call Chen Fan out and definitely let you all know."
After hanging up, Yan Qing threw his phone onto the sofa, somewhat exasperated.
This was already the 5th call he had received today.
All from friends in the circle wanting to meet Chen Fan.
Looking up at the opposite side, Tong Yao was accompanying Nalan Wan'er, staring at the TV screen.
It was playing the recording of last night's race.
They were only watching the final part of the race on the broken bridge.
Especially in the last 100 meters or so, Chen Fan's handling was simply divine.
They had watched this clip back and forth at least 20 times.
Yet they couldn't get enough, exclaiming how thrilling it was each time.
"With these driving skills, I dare say even most professional racers wouldn't dare to drive like him."
"This isn't about skilled driving, it's about not valuing one's life."
Two guys from the band were commenting in low voices nearby.
Yan Qing helplessly looked at the scene on the screen, where Chen Fan, driving the GTR without slowing down at all, directly used inertial drift to brake the car, barely stopping at the edge of the broken bridge...
Too cool.
Even though Yan Qing had watched this clip many times last night, watching it again still made his heart race.
One of his biggest hobbies was playing with cars, and no one understood better than him what Chen Fan's performance on the broken bridge meant.
It not only meant he had powerful driving skills, but also that Chen Fan had a big heart.
At this moment, the clip ended, and Nalan Wan'er unconsciously pressed replay again.
The two girls looked up at Yan Qing.
"Still can't get through?"
Yan Qing shook his head with a bitter smile.
"In just a short while, several calls have come in wanting to invite Chen Fan for dinner."
"Damn, this guy's phone has been off since he left last night, can't get through at all."
Yan Qing wanted to curse out loud.
He was more eager than anyone to see Chen Fan soon.
"Are we still rehearsing today?" Tong Yao couldn't help but ask.
Yan Qing shrugged, "Let's practice for now, we still have another lead singer anyway."
But Nalan Wan'er spoke up: "I don't want to rehearse today."
"Yan Qing, keep calling him, you must get him to come out."
"Hmph, it's too much. He clearly promised to rehearse and perform with us, but now he's gone off the grid midway."
Yan Qing was both amused and exasperated, but didn't dare to anger this young mistress.
"Alright, I'll have someone go to his club to check."
...
Chen Fan wasn't at the club.
Today he deliberately turned off his phone, cutting off all contact with the outside world. He wasn't doing anything, just accompanying his girlfriend.
In the morning, Chen Fan suggested to Su Ruochu that, taking advantage of the few days left, he wanted to take her traveling.
But Su Ruochu refused.
"Traveling is so tiring, and school is about to start. Let's wait until we have time later, I'll travel with you then."
Chen Fan couldn't argue with the reason Su Ruochu gave.
He had originally planned to take Su Ruochu away from Yunhai temporarily, but now it seemed this opportunity wouldn't work out.
So he implemented Plan B.
From today until tomorrow night, he wouldn't go anywhere, just stay with Su Ruochu, not separating for even a step.
The two cuddled at home all morning, and after lunch, Su Ruochu walked into the study.
"Su Qing is leaving tomorrow, she said she wants to treat us to dinner tonight."
Chen Fan was surprised: "Doesn't graduate school registration start in a few days? She's leaving tomorrow?"
Su Ruochu nodded: "She wants to go early to familiarize herself with the environment."
"Su Qing said they've been troubling us these days, so she and Wu Di want to treat us tonight."
Chen Fan smiled, "Then we must go. I'll drive you there in the afternoon."
"Mm."
Around 3 pm, Chen Fan drove Su Ruochu to the city center to meet up with Su Qing, Ma Xiaoshuai, and Song Linlin.
As soon as they met, Ma Xiaoshuai started cursing.
"Damn. Why is your phone off? I called several times but it was always off."
Chen Fan smiled and casually made up an excuse.
"The phone had a small problem, I took it for repair."
Su Ruochu looked over in surprise, "Your phone broke?"
Chen Fan looked a bit sheepish, and Su Ruochu immediately understood that Chen Fan was lying.
Because she knew Chen Fan too well, just one expression or look, and she could guess what Chen Fan was thinking.
But Su Ruochu didn't say anything.
A smart woman knows when to protect a man's dignity.
Ma Xiaoshuai didn't pay attention to it either, and said: "Old Wu won't get off work until 5:30 pm, let's wander around first, then go to the restaurant to wait for him."
So the group started shopping.
The three girls were naturally the main characters, while Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai could only play the role of bag carriers.
The two followed behind, chatting quietly.
"Have you been in touch with Han Xu and Sun Hao recently?"
Chen Fan shook his head, he was so busy every day, where would he have time?
Ma Xiaoshuai said with a smile: "Sun Hao has already arrived in Pudong with his girlfriend, they're staying in a hotel for now, and have been busy looking for a house these days."
"That guy complained to me that the houses in Pudong are built with gold, the rent is just too expensive, they can't afford to buy at all."
Chen Fan wanted to laugh when he heard this. This was nothing yet.
In a few more years, just wait and see, the housing prices then would really be like wild horses off their reins.
"Han Xu arrived at the school yesterday, he complained that the school dormitory was too shabby, can't compare to our dormitory building at all."
Chen Fan laughed. "Nonsense, that dormitory building of ours was brand new when we enrolled."
At this point, both of them fell silent simultaneously.
In the end, it was Chen Fan who spoke up.
"Brother Jie... should be out soon, right?"
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded.
"Mm, less than a month left."
Chen Fan looked up at the three girls who were selecting clothes, and let out a sigh.
"Time really flies."
"Have you told them? Will they go when the time comes?"
Ma Xiaoshuai: "I told them, they all said they'll see how things go at that time."
"But I estimate... it might be difficult."
"Sun Hao is in Pudong, coming over from there would be quite expensive. And Han Xu is even further away."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and said: "Don't force them on this matter, let's see what their own plans are."
"It would be best if they can come, if not, we'll go pick up Brother Jie ourselves."
"Mm."
Ma Xiaoshuai agreed, looked at Chen Fan, and finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Why do I feel like you've been distracted today? Is there something on your mind?"
Chen Fan spoke with a serious face.
"I've been waiting to cross a tribulation these two days."
"If I pass it, my fate will be smooth sailing from now on, without setbacks. If I can't pass it..."
"I don't know if I can live on alone."
Ma Xiaoshuai laughed exaggeratedly and cursed:
"What's wrong? Watched too many adult movies recently? Brain got fried?"
"By the way, do those kinds of movies have cultivation themes?"
"Do immortals crossing tribulations have sexual needs too?"
Chen Fan: "..."
