Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 49 Liu Ruyan Invites You to Watch a "Game"!

After the match.

Ye Fan didn't go home; instead, he slept in the guest room that Jian Jingli had prepared for him.

.........

11:00 AM.

The sound of a baby crying woke him from his sleep.

When I opened my eyes, my phone showed that it was already 11 a.m.

Ye Fan rubbed his sleepy eyes and followed the sound of crying into the living room.

Jian Jingli skillfully changed the baby's diaper, and the little guy kicked his tender white legs and cried until his face was red.

"Jingjie, is the baby crying because of the diaper change?"

Ye Fan squatted down and looked curiously at the little chubby ball of flesh that was wriggling around.

Jian Jingli looked up, the light casting a soft golden glow on her slightly tired face:

"Absolutely! Every time I change her, it's like a battle. But she stops crying after I change her!"

She deftly fastened the diaper, and the crying stopped immediately. The baby blinked his teary eyes and started chewing on his little fist.

Jian Jingli picked up the child and pointed in the direction of the bathroom:

"I've put all your toiletries away. You can have lunch after you're done tidying up!" The baby in her arms suddenly grinned at Ye Fan, revealing two newly sprouted baby teeth.

"good!"

Ye Fan responded and walked towards the washroom. He was stunned when he opened the door and saw what was on the washbasin.

Jian Jingli is very considerate.

Two unopened toothbrushes are neatly arranged on the washstand, one labeled "soft bristles" and the other "medium-hard bristles".

Next to him lay the familiar light blue towel, the same one he had used when he last came, now exuding a fresh, sun-dried scent.

What surprised him most was that there was even an unopened bottle of men's oil-control facial cleanser.

Ye Fan looked at the items on the washstand and felt a surge of emotion.

........

After washing up, I returned to the living room.

Ye Fan saw that Jian Jingli was holding the baby in one arm and mixing formula with the other.

He quickly stepped forward to help pour the warm water, and couldn't help but ask:

"Jingjie, what time did you get up? You watched the game so late last night, you probably didn't get any rest, right? Why don't you go catch up on some sleep after dinner, and I'll take care of the baby."

Jian Jingli gently shook the baby bottle, her profile appearing exceptionally soft in the sunlight:

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

She bent down and gently rubbed the baby's little nose:

"When this little guy was first born, he would wake up four or five times a night, but now he's much easier to take care of."

Seeing how hard Jian Jingli was taking care of the child, Ye Fan felt a little sorry for her.

Ye Fan couldn't help but ask:

"Jing-jie, you must be quite busy running your own company! Don't you have a nanny to help take care of your child?"

Jian Jingli handed the baby bottle to the impatient little one and smiled:

"My mom usually comes to help out. I stayed at her house during my postpartum period, and she helped take care of the baby after I went back to work. She went back to her hometown for some business recently, and since I'm not too busy at work, I can bring the baby to the office!"

Hearing that someone would help take care of it made him feel a little better, otherwise it would be too hard for him.

The baby was happily gulping down his milk from the bottle, his chubby little feet swinging joyfully in the air.

After finishing her milk, she quickly fell back asleep with Jian Jingli's gentle patting and coaxing.

This little one at this age spends most of the day dreaming. When he wakes up, it's usually because he's hungry or needs a diaper change, so he's not too difficult to take care of.

Jian Jingli gently placed the baby back in the crib, then turned to Ye Fan and said:

"Let's have hot pot for lunch, it's convenient and saves time. I've already prepared the side dishes, and there are also ready-made beef and lamb rolls in the fridge. The rice will be ready in ten minutes, go and make your favorite dipping sauce."

"Hot pot is great! It's convenient and delicious."

Ye Fan smiled and replied, then got up and headed to the kitchen.

He skillfully prepared a classic red oil dipping sauce—minced garlic and cilantro as a base, topped with two spoonfuls of chili oil, then drizzled with balsamic vinegar and light soy sauce, and finally sprinkled with a handful of toasted white sesame seeds.

Jian Jingli took out the neatly arranged ingredients from the refrigerator: tender green spinach, snow-white enoki mushrooms, orange-red carrot slices, and crystal-clear shrimp paste, etc.

Ye Fan helped bring out the bubbling hot pot, with a few goji berries and red dates floating in the clear broth, while the spicy broth simmered with an enticing aroma of butter.

Sunlight streamed through the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows, making the food on the table look exceptionally vibrant.

The two sat facing each other, steam rising gently between them...

...........

After finishing the hot pot and cleaning up the table, it was already past 1 p.m.

Ye Fan sat on the sofa, took out his phone, and found several unread messages.

I glanced at my phone; the message on QQ was from Zhao Mingzhe:

[Old Ye, where the hell have you been? I went to your house just now and didn't see you! Aren't you going to practice driving this afternoon?]

Ye Fan replied with a smile:

This afternoon, you ride your electric scooter to the driving school; we'll meet at the entrance.

Switching to the green bubble, a message came from Ye Zhuyan, the sister who was pinned to the top:

【Hey kid, I'm coming home next week, stop being away all the time!】 The text was followed by a tapping emoji.

Ye Fan felt a warmth in his heart—it had been more than a month since his rebirth, and he hadn't seen his sister who loved him the most yet.

He replied quickly:

【Welcome back to the palace, Miss Ye!】I casually sent a kneeling emoji.

Scrolling down, Liu Ruyan's chat box shows three unread messages.

After clicking, the latest message almost made Ye Fan choke on his saliva:

【Little man~ I heard you're an Argentina fan? There's an Argentina match in a few days, and Auntie invites you to watch it together~ There's a surprise~】 This is followed by a winking cat emoji with a heart-shaped hook on its tail.

Holy crap, want to watch a game together? What game are you talking about...?

Upon seeing Liu Ruyan's message, Ye Fan immediately recalled the exciting match between Argentina and Nigeria.

He replied quickly:

Okay, it's settled then. Remember what I told you last time? I need to talk to your aunt about it!

He had originally intended to find some time to discuss the things they had talked about before.

A few days ago, he went to the sports lottery center to claim his multi-million dollar prize from the Spain vs. Honduras match—the amount was so large that ordinary lottery shops simply couldn't handle it.

He even made a special trip to the largest sports lottery center in the area for this purpose.

This money was the first pot of gold for his business empire.

As for betting on other matches, he deliberately controlled the amount, sometimes a few hundred, at most a few thousand, with both wins and losses.

All of this was to avoid attracting attention; the real highlight was yet to come—the world-shaking 7-1 victory of Brazil against Germany.

He deliberately placed random bets on the other matches.

After replying to all the messages, Ye Fan chatted with Jian Jingli in the living room for a while.

They chatted until after 2 a.m., when Ye Fan got up to say goodbye.

Chien Ching-Li insisted on driving him home:

"Anyway, the baby's asleep, I can take you there quickly."

Ye Fan smiled and waved his hand:

"No need, Sister Jing. It's so hot, it's too much trouble for you to run back and forth. Besides, what if the baby wakes up? I can just take a taxi, it's very convenient!"

The taxi had just stopped in front of the driving school.

Ye Fan saw Zhao Mingzhe walk over like a poodle with its fur standing on end, spewing profanities:

"Holy crap! Where the hell have you been?"

Ye Fan didn't mention Jian Jingli's matter, so he made up a reason instead:

"I went to an internet cafe and didn't come back until the competition started. I stayed there all night."

Zhao Mingzhe said with some doubt:

"Damn it, you went online without telling me?"

Ye Fan patted his head and said:

"Next time for sure, next time for sure!"

"Damn it!"

"I don't believe you for a second!"

Zhao Mingzhe spat.

Afternoon training will proceed as scheduled.

Two days later was the theory test, and the group spent the afternoon practicing driving while memorizing the theory test questions.

Of course, Ye Fan is an exception; that sixth brother has a cheat code, he can't compare!

All the questions I had seen in my past life were precisely etched into my mind.
