Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 171 Ye Fan, are you humiliating me?

Su Luming blushed deeply. Although she had spoken so calmly, she was, after all, just a young girl who had just come of age.

Ye Fan finally shifted his gaze from Su Luming's beautiful face, which was both embarrassed and annoyed, and slowly turned to Xian Zuling, who was almost curled up in a ball next to him.

He extended his finger, tapped lightly, and said to Su Luming with a mischievous yet incredibly serious expression, "How about this, Su Luming? If you can persuade her to be my girlfriend..."

He paused deliberately, enjoying the moment Su Luming's expression stiffen: "Four-year term. As long as she agrees, I will immediately withdraw from the class monitor election, and I will never go back on my word."

Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Su Luming and Xian Zuling were struck as if by a thunderbolt, instantly turning to stone!

What the hell?

The color drained from Su Luming's face instantly, replaced by an indescribable flush of shame and indignation.

She looked at Ye Fan in disbelief.

What kind of international joke is he making? Is he kidding me? I'm stunningly beautiful, and you don't want me, but you want to date this ugly bastard...

Su Luming was somewhat annoyed.

Is this meant to humiliate her?

The ancestral spirit standing to the side was also dumbfounded for a long time.

She finally swallowed hard, and even unconsciously rubbed her ears...

Did I hear that right? He...he just said...that I should be his girlfriend? In a trade?

The thought surged through her body like an electric current, and she felt all the blood rush to her cheeks and ears, turning them instantly as red as a ripe tomato. Even her small earlobes were stained a bright crimson, burning hot to the point of being frightening.

"Ye Fan, what do you mean?" Su Luming suddenly stood up, the chair legs scraping against the floor with a screeching sound.

Her chest heaved, her pretty face flushed with anger, and her voice trembled with humiliation: "Are you playing me?!"

Ye Fan shrugged, his face still bearing that smug, nonchalant smile, and said, "Literal terms, Su. These are my terms, no deception."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Watching him walk away without a care in the world, Su Luming deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping back into his chair, his eyes blankly staring at the table, muttering unconsciously, "What does he mean...why...why her?"

She racked her brains but couldn't understand why Ye Fan would ignore her, so beautiful and charming, and instead specifically target that...that insignificant ancestral spirit? This was the biggest mockery of her prized charm!

The spirit of the ancestor dared not utter a sound.

She could sense the oppressive atmosphere emanating from Su Luming, a mixture of grievance and anger.

She didn't know if Su Luming's anger was directed at Ye Fan, or... also affected her, his "transaction partner".

Suddenly, Su Luming looked up at the ancestral spirit and said, "Ancestral spirit, I know you didn't come back that night because you were with Ye Fan... right?"

"Hmm..." Xian Zuling responded subconsciously, then realized what she meant and immediately shook her head vigorously, "No! No! It's not what you think!"

After denying it, she lowered her head deeply, feeling guilty, her fingers nervously twisting together.

She's too naive; all her emotions are written all over her face, and she can't hide a single secret.

Su Luming saw through her thoughts at a glance, so there was no need to ask any more questions.

Unlike Ye Fan, who's a villain and completely unpredictable... He lacks any expression, sometimes he doesn't laugh when he should, and sometimes he laughs when he shouldn't... It's unbelievable...

She took a deep breath, her face darkening further: "Is it or isn't it?"

Under the oppressive aura of Su Luming, the ancestral spirit statue, like a frightened little rabbit, whispered as softly as a mosquito's buzz, "Yes...yes..."

"Did he bully you?" Su Luming's voice suddenly rose, filled with urgent tension.

"Bullyed?" Xian Zuling didn't immediately grasp the deeper meaning of "bullyed." She only remembered the grievances she felt on the street that night, and her eyes instantly reddened. She nodded, "Yeah... he... he made me cry."

"What?" Su Luming's voice instantly rose eight octaves, and he slammed his hand on the table, making the milk tea cup shake.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes practically spitting fire: "That bastard Ye Fan! A beast! Scum! I knew it! How dare he do this to you..."

She had already pictured countless scenes of "bullying" in her mind, and was burning with rage.

Xian Zuling quickly said, "No, no, he didn't bully me. I mean, he made me cry in the street last time..."

Su Luming breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in a deep voice, "Ancestral Spirit, tell me the truth, don't be afraid, did he 'bully' you?"

She emphasized the word "bully".

Xian Zuling quickly shook his head again and said, "No, absolutely not. Apart from that time he made me cry in the street, he's always been very nice to me, very caring, and often treats me to meals..."

Su Luming's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief, patting his chest with lingering fear: "That scared me to death! If he had dared to really bully you, I would have called the police and had him arrested!"

She paused, her probing gaze returning to Xian Zuling's face, filled with deep confusion: "Then tell me, what did he mean by what he just said? Did he specifically ask you to be his girlfriend? Do you know what he's thinking?"

Xian Zuling shook her head blankly, her little face filled with "I don't know, I don't understand".

She's still feeling dizzy, like she's having a bizarre dream.

Su Luming nodded, it was clear that Xian Zuling really didn't know either.

She rubbed her temples in frustration: "Ugh, this Ye Fan, I really don't know what he's thinking. I also feel like he's a bit too..."

Looking at the timid, blushing face of the ancestral spirit, a thought suddenly popped into her head: "Hey, ancestral spirit, why don't you...you give it a try?"

"Test what?" Xian Zuling was a beat slow to react and hadn't quite understood what it meant.

Su Luming lowered his voice: "Try being his girlfriend!"

"No, no, no, that won't do..." Xian Zuling shook his head like a rattle drum.

"Why?" Su Luming asked, somewhat puzzled. "Don't you want to find a boyfriend during college? To be honest, with your facial imperfections, it's really not easy to find a decent boyfriend in college. Now Ye Fan has brought it up, and although his motives are unclear, he's a good person and good-looking. I think... you should really consider it! You might not get another chance like this!"

"No, no, no! No, that won't do!" Xian Zuling shook her head even more violently, her face flushed red as if it were about to bleed, her voice trembling with tears, "He... he said it himself that day! He doesn't like ugly people... he... he also said he likes people like you!"
