A Valiant Life

Chapter 724: This Is Very Interesting

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In that one short minute, Lin Fan was already thinking of all the possible scenarios that could happen.

What was he going to do?

Looking at the time, it was already midnight. Nothing good ever happens at this hour.

Could it be that he came off as too elegant and dashing after beating the forty-five thugs just now, which caused Yun Xue Yao to fall for him and wanted to give herself to him?

Although it was just his imagination, it seemed like a very viable possibility at that moment.

Dammit, if I knew it was going down like this, I would have left earlier.

Knock knock!

There came another knock on the door.

“Brother Lin, are you awake?” Yun Xue Yao’s voice started becoming a little more rushed, as if she couldn’t wait for something.

Inside the room.

Lin Fan didn’t know what to do as he looked left and right for something.

Dammit, there aren’t any condoms around. If anything were to happen and if she were to get pregnant, it would be a disaster.

Saying ‘no’ was also another way out of this situation.

However, this would cause me to appear like a weakling. If she were too direct, I also won’t be able to reject her advances. Forget it, I’ll just open the door.

Taking a deep breath, he steadied himself.

Click!

Yun Xue Yao opened the door.

Yun Xue Yao was wearing her pajamas as she stood outside the door. “Brother Lin, have you slept yet?”

“Not yet. I was just about to. What’s up?” Lin Fan replied.

Following the standard rules of engagement, the girl would reply, “Brother Lin, do you mind if I come in for a while?” Otherwise, the other tactic would be for the girl to just rush up without a second word and kiss him, and the rest would follow.

Instead, Yun Xue Yao hesitated for a while before speaking, “Brother Lin, do you know how to play mahjong?”

Lin Fan was completely taken aback, but he managed to nod his head. “Yea, what about it?”

At this moment, Yun Xue Yao giggled, as she grabbed Lin Fan’s hands. For Lin Fan, even that was a little too direct.

At least have a little conversation first. You shouldn’t be that direct to just open the door like that.

He wasn’t that kind of person.

“Well, that is great. My younger brother and sister want to play mahjong tonight but we are short of one player. Do you want to join us?” Yun Xue Yao said, her face lighting up. Yun Xue Yao knew that with Lin Fan’s gambling skills, he definitely knew how to play mahjong. She just asked him to break the subject.

But they would definitely lose badly to him

“Ah?” Lin Fan looked a little dazed, thereafter muttering, “Just mahjong?”

“Yea, otherwise what else?” After saying that, Yun Xue Yao blushed, realizing what it could mean. ‘Brother Lin is really direct, but we’ve only just met. We shouldn’t be doing it just like that. If he really wanted and I refused him, it wouldn’t be very good,’ she thought to herself.

At home, Yun Xue Yao wasn’t as firm and unyielding as she acted outside.

“No, no, I thought that there was something urgent,” Lin Fan couldn’t let her have any misconceptions. He was the famed Master Lin of Cloud Street. He had fans numbering in the hundreds of thousands. How could he behave like that?

What made Lin Fan even more confounded was what he was thinking after he had gotten to Hao Jiang. How did his thoughts go so awry after meeting Yun Xue Yao?

How despicable.

“Then let’s hurry, they are all waiting,” Yun Xue Yao said, not waiting for Lin Fan to react as she immediately pulled him off the bed.

Lin Fan looked at Yun Xue Yao’s silhouette as he followed her. He had to get back to Shanghai first thing tomorrow. Hao Jiang was too dangerous and there were too many temptations. Shanghai was better.

All the way to four o’clock in the morning.

Lin Fan originally thought that they were going to play for a short while. He never thought that their game was never-ending. If he hadn’t voluntarily suggested for himself to get some rest, he would have played till the sun rose.

Returning to his room, he crashed on his bed. Lin Fan ran his hands across his blushed cheeks. What on earth was he thinking the whole day?

In the other room.

Yun Xue Yao’s sister was from the same father but different mother. However, she was a feral child and was brought back home after some time. Despite coming from a different mother, Yun Xue Yao still treated her well, as if she was really her own sister.

“Sis, do you like Master Lin?” Yun Xiang Da asked excitedly.

“What kind of question was that? Go and sleep,” Yun Xue Yao said, rolling her eyes. She pulled up her blanket, preparing to go to sleep. However, as she closed her eyes, the events of the day replayed in her mind, and she couldn’t help but smile at it. Finally, she drifted off to dreamland.

...

The next day.

At the airport.

Lin Fan waved at the group of people who were sending him off. “Tell me when you come to Shanghai. I’ll definitely bring you guys around.”

Yun Xue Yao waved back, her eyes looking reluctantly at Lin Fan, “Goodbye, Brother Lin.” She didn’t know when was the next time she was going to see Lin Fan Brother Lin again.

“Teacher Lin, I really can’t thank you enough this time,” Ye Zhen Ming said gratefully.

Although he had only been in Hao Jiang for a few days, he had gotten quite a huge loot. He felt for the card which was in his pocket, chuckling to himself.

It was just too easy to earn money.

Ten million dollars for flipping on mahjong tile.

Before he had gotten the Encyclopedia, Lin Fan’s only goal was to work hard to earn money. After getting the Encyclopedia, he suddenly realized that money was just too easy to come by.

It wasn’t stressful at all, and so he didn’t pay too much attention to making money.

For Lin Fan, the most meaningful thing that he could do was to help out at the Nanshan Children’s Welfare Home.

Cloud Street.

Fraud Tian sat at the door, smoking a cigarette, “I don’t know what on earth that brat is doing in Hao Jiang. I can’t believe that he didn’t bring me along.”

Wu You Lan giggled, “Brother Lin goes out to do business. He doesn’t have time for holidays.”

Fraud Tian shook his head helplessly, “Elder Wu, you really wasted your time bringing up this child. She hasn’t even married yet. I think we have to support each other next time.”

Zhao Zhong Yang chuckled, “Fraud Tian, what kind of support are you talking about?” His expression deserved a spanking, the way he emphasized heavily on the word ‘support’.

Fraud Tian nagged, “You are also another one. No wonder you’re still single.”

“Hey, hey. You shouldn’t scold me like that. Also, did you know that I have many girls on the live broadcast who have confessed to me? The only thing is that they aren’t mature enough, otherwise, I would already have a girlfriend.”

Suddenly, a familiar sound came from afar.

“Oh? Are you cheating young underage girls now? That isn’t good.”

Hearing that voice, the group of them froze, turning to look.

Fraud Tian exclaimed in surprise, “Whoa damn, you’re back from Hao Jiang fast. Could it be that you came back immediately after reaching there?”

“I came back immediately after finishing what I had to do over there,” Lin Fan said.

Wu You Lan rejoiced after seeing that Brother Lin had returned. She immediately got Lin Fan a chair as she started massaging him, “Brother Lin, how was Hao Jiang? Was it fun?”

Lin Fan thought for a while before replying, “This trip was rather delightful and fun.”

It was definitely a fun trip. He had a blast beating up bad guys- how was it not fun?
