Chapter 647: Sister-in-law's Husband is a Big Star
Opening the door and returning to the room, Chen Fan noticed that Gao Xiaoxi was standing nervously in the living room.
"What's wrong?"
The girl had chosen to wear one of her cousin's short-sleeved T-shirts, which was slightly too big, making Gao Xiaoxi appear even more petite.
Chen Fan joked, "Why do I feel like you look like a middle schooler wearing your cousin's clothes?"
Gao Xiaoxi seemed a bit unsettled.
"I... I thought you had left me here alone and gone away."
Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh, "How could that be?"
"By the way, did you call your cousin?"
Seeing her shake her head, Chen Fan walked over to open the refrigerator door and took out two bottles of drinks.
He handed one to her and then took out his phone to call Su Ruochu.
At this time, Su Ruochu should be in her dorm room preparing to rest.
Indeed, when the call connected, Su Ruochu had just finished washing up and was lying in bed.
"Xiaoxi came to visit our home today."
Chen Fan exchanged a few pleasantries with Su Ruochu before getting to the point.
"Xiaoxi went there?" As expected, Su Ruochu's face immediately lit up with joy.
"I'll let her talk to you."
Chen Fan passed the phone over, winking at Gao Xiaoxi and mouthing,
"Don't tell your cousin about tonight's incident."
Gao Xiaoxi nodded before taking the phone.
"Hello, cousin..."
While the sisters were chatting, Chen Fan went to the kitchen and cooked a pot of instant noodles.
When he came out, Gao Xiaoxi had finished her call.
"Done? What did you two talk about?"
Gao Xiaoxi shook her head, "Nothing, nothing much."
"Help me bring the heat-resistant mat over."
Chen Fan instructed while placing the pot on the dining table.
Gao Xiaoxi looked a bit confused.
"Brother-in-law, you... haven't had dinner?"
"It's all your fault, isn't it? I could have had a great meal tonight, but I ended up not eating because I had to rescue you."
Gao Xiaoxi felt a bit embarrassed.
Chen Fan got up and walked towards the kitchen, "Are you hungry? Want to eat something together?"
"I'm not eating..."
Just as she finished speaking, her stomach let out a protesting growl.
She hadn't eaten much at the bar, and after experiencing this series of thrilling events, it would be strange if she wasn't hungry.
Chen Fan brought out two sets of bowls and chopsticks.
"Serve yourself as much as you want."
"Oh."
The two sat around the dining table. Gao Xiaoxi ate very gracefully, carefully picking up one noodle at a time.
In contrast, Chen Fan across from her had no regard for image, wolfing down his food.
Seeing this scene, Gao Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile slightly, her previous fear dissipating quite a bit.
"Brother-in-law."
"Hm?"
"Did you buy this apartment for my cousin?"
"Mm-hmm."
"When did you buy it? Brother-in-law, can you tell me about you two in college?"
"What's there to tell about college? Hurry up and eat, the noodles will get cold and clump together soon."
"Just tell me a bit, I'm really interested."
Chen Fan wolfed down a bowl of instant noodles, then served himself another bowl before slowly saying,
"There's nothing much to tell about your cousin's and my college life. If anything, I owe her quite a bit."
"Why do you say that?" Gao Xiaoxi stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"I started my business in college when I was penniless. It was the toughest time, so during that period, I spent most of my time on the startup, which meant less time with your cousin."
"Oh, that..." Gao Xiaoxi muttered, "I'm sure my cousin wouldn't mind."
"Besides, I only found out after starting college about the things you did for my cousin during your college years."
Chen Fan slurped his noodles and casually asked, "What things?"
"Like the surprise you prepared for her during quarantine, and the concert proposal you organized for her at graduation."
Chen Fan chuckled, "You know about that too?"
"Of course I do. All the freshmen in every school in the university town know about it. The video of you proposing to my cousin is still pinned on the forum, with super high click rates."
Chen Fan joked, "Then I should charge them for portrait rights. I might make a fortune."
Gao Xiaoxi stared at Chen Fan with gleaming eyes, "Brother-in-law, are you... are you really Commoner?"
Chen Fan had started on his third bowl of noodles. He tapped Gao Xiaoxi's bowl rim with his chopsticks.
"Don't just talk, hurry up and eat."
Gao Xiaoxi's face was full of excitement, "You are. And from the video, I can tell at a glance that your singing is exactly the same as Commoner's."
Gao Xiaoxi became more and more excited, almost dancing in her seat.
"Brother-in-law, you're actually a big star. That's... that's amazing."
Chen Fan looked exasperated, "What's so great about being a big star?"
"Big stars like to eat garlic too, and big stars' farts stink too!"
"Eww..."
Gao Xiaoxi frowned and waved her hand, feeling that Chen Fan's star aura instantly diminished quite a bit.
"Brother-in-law, can you sign a few autographs for me? I want to take them back as collectibles."
"What do you want those for? It's not like we never see each other."
But Gao Xiaoxi was unusually persistent, "It's different."
She was actually thinking that getting Commoner's autograph would make her classmates so envious when she got back.
Chen Fan didn't want to argue with the little girl about this.
"Alright, alright. You can have as many signatures as you want."
After finishing his third bowl of noodles, he wiped his mouth unceremoniously.
"Let's make this clear, the slow eater is responsible for washing the dishes."
With that, Chen Fan got up, stretched lazily, and flopped onto the sofa in the living room.
"By the way, it's so late tonight. Are you still going back to the dorm? Why don't you just sleep here for the night?"
Gao Xiaoxi's little face turned red, and she lowered her head shyly.
Actually, when she was on the phone earlier, her cousin had also told her to stay overnight.
But being alone with a man in a room was something she had never experienced before.
Even if it was her most admired brother-in-law, she still felt a bit shy.
Just as Gao Xiaoxi was hesitating, Chen Fan suddenly asked,
"By the way, do you have classes tomorrow?"
"I don't have any classes all day tomorrow."
"That's perfect. I'll take you out for a tour tomorrow. Didn't you like that club we went to last time? I'll take you there to play tomorrow."
"Really?"
Gao Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, instantly becoming excited.
"Then I'll stay here tonight."
Chen Fan nodded, "Tonight you can sleep in the master bedroom on your cousin's big bed. There are your cousin's pajamas in the wardrobe."
"Oh..." Gao Xiaoxi responded softly.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, take a shower and go to bed early after. I'm going to rest now."
With that, Chen Fan got up and walked towards the room next door.
Gao Xiaoxi was a bit surprised.
It's not even that late, and he's going to sleep?
She still had so much she wanted to chat about with her brother-in-law.
Aren't young people supposed to be most energetic at night?
Gao Xiaoxi poked at her instant noodles with her chopsticks, muttering softly in frustration.
"Not a bit of youthful vigor, like a decrepit old man..."
The next morning, the girl got up with a pair of panda eyes.
She couldn't sleep at all last night, tossing and turning, her mind full of random thoughts.
One moment she was thinking about how this was her first time sleeping alone in a room with a man, and that man was her brother-in-law.
Would he lose control and rush in in the middle of the night?
Should she lock the door?
If she locked the door, would it seem disrespectful to him?
The next moment she was thinking about how this bed she was sleeping in was previously slept in by her cousin and brother-in-law.
Did they really live together in college?
Then...
Just thinking about what her cousin and brother-in-law might have done on this bed before made the girl even more unable to sleep.
She muddled through until dawn, resulting in a pair of panda eyes as she entered the bathroom.
Opening the door with bleary eyes, she found Chen Fan inside wearing a pair of boxer shorts, shirtless, and brushing his teeth.
They were both obviously startled for a moment.
Fortunately, Chen Fan reacted quickly, mumbling a greeting with a mouth full of foam.
"Morning..."
Gao Xiaoxi was so scared that her face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and she turned and ran back to the bedroom.
