Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 168 Crayfish and the "Fairy" Teacher

Upon hearing this, Li Yifeng's confident expression froze instantly, and he muttered with a hint of heartache, "Hey Lao Ye...we...we need to take it easy! If things don't go well in the stock market...we won't even have money for instant noodles..."

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, slowly wiping his hands, and teased, "Oh? Giving up already? Who was just boasting about becoming 'Little Buffett'? So lacking in confidence in your own judgment? What's the point of playing around if you're so unconfident?"

These words accurately struck at Li Yifeng's ambition.

His face flushed, and he stubbornly insisted, "Who...who chickened out! Eat! You have to eat! Auntie! Two more servings of garlic!"

He went all out to defend the dignity of "Little Buffett"!

Ye Fan: "......" Well, this is enough to eat.

Before the crayfish were even served, a slight commotion suddenly came from the direction of the stairwell.

Li Yifeng was peeling shrimp when his eyes casually glanced over and he instantly opened his mouth wide, forgetting all about the shrimp in his hand.

Shi Kai and Xiao Ji, standing nearby, seemed frozen in place, their eyes wide open, staring straight in that direction, forgetting even to breathe.

Ye Fan followed their gaze.

Cheng Yuyan was seen walking up the stairs.

Today, she changed her usual relatively formal attire, wearing a neat high ponytail with a few wisps of hair fluttering in the wind, revealing her smooth and full forehead.

What's most captivating is her outfit—a simple yet flattering tank top that accentuates her beautiful figure, revealing her delicate collarbones and rounded shoulders; extremely short denim shorts that showcase her long, straight, and dazzlingly white legs; and clean white sneakers on her feet.

She exuded youthful energy, a strange blend of sexiness and innocence, making her a beautiful sight against the slightly greasy backdrop of the cafeteria.

If you didn't know she was a teacher, you would have mistaken her for one of the school's most beautiful students.

Cheng Yuyan, like Jiang Fan, is also a counselor. She is from the class next door and shares an office with Jiang Fan. They met at the beginning of the semester.

Xiao Ji, drooling, exclaimed, "Holy crap, Teacher Cheng... this is too unfair! My God, where is this teacher from? She's practically a fairy..."

After Cheng Yuyan entered the restaurant, Jiang Fan and another teacher followed her in.

Cheng Yuyan walked into the restaurant, glanced around, and quickly locked onto Ye Fan's table.

A bright smile lit up her face as she waved and greeted him from afar, "Ye Fan! So you're here too!"

She walked straight over to the table, glanced down at the pile of shrimp shells and the bowl of bright red crayfish, and her smile widened, tinged with a hint of teasing: "Wow... Ye Fan, your meals are pretty good! You're living the good life!"

Ye Fan put down the shrimp shells in his hand, picked up a tissue to wipe his hands, met her gaze frankly, and replied with a smile, "Teacher Cheng seems to be in a very good mood today! Your outfit is youthful, beautiful, and radiant. Anyone who didn't know you would definitely think you were the most beautiful girl from one of the colleges coming for dinner!"

"Tsk tsk, your sweet words are getting sweeter and sweeter!" Cheng Yuyan's eyes crinkled with delight at the compliment.

Li Yifeng and his two companions stared in disbelief, their minds racing: Holy crap! Old Ye is awesome! He can chat and laugh so easily with such a beautiful teacher! That aura! That naturalness! We can't learn that!

Ye Fan smiled and naturally took out a cigarette case from his pocket, flicking one on each of Jiang Fan and the other male teacher.

Seeing that the three teachers had clearly just finished their work and were preparing to eat, he warmly invited them, "Teacher Cheng, Teacher Jiang, we just ordered three more servings of crayfish. Why don't you sit down and have some? It'll be more fun with more people!"

Cheng Yuyan has a cheerful and carefree personality, and she is only a few years older than Ye Fan and the others, so she doesn't act like a teacher at all.

She didn't refuse, and readily pulled out a chair and sat down next to Ye Fan: "Sure! Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Jiang Fan smiled and waved his hand, "This alone won't fill me up. I'll go get another meal." He then walked towards the food window.

The other male teacher was initially a bit reserved, but seeing how readily Cheng Yuyan agreed and being pulled along by Jiang Fan, he reluctantly sat down.

At this moment, three bowls of crayfish were served: one spicy and two garlicky.

"Wow! Better late than never!" Cheng Yuyan's eyes lit up. Without caring about her image, she reached out and grabbed the largest garlic crayfish. She deftly twisted the head and peeled the shell, dipping the tender shrimp meat in the broth and eating it with great relish.

That unpretentious and straightforward manner greatly increases one's appetite.

The trio from Class 208, who were just tense because of the "Fairy Teacher," relaxed without realizing it and joined the "shrimp-peeling battle."

On the second floor of the cafeteria, the aroma of spicy and garlicky food mingled with the noisy chatter of people.

Jiang Fan sat down with his freshly served roast duck rice, took a couple of bites, swallowed, and then looked at Ye Fan with a more serious expression: "Ye Fan, let's get down to business. We're having a class meeting tonight. Military training is over, and university life officially begins. We need to elect class officers; the positions of class monitor and Youth League secretary are crucial. What are your thoughts?"

When the conversation turned to serious matters, Ye Fan's playful expression vanished instantly, and his eyes became calm and sharp, as if he had become a different person.

He put down the shrimp shells in his hand, carefully wiped his hands with a napkin, and then said clearly, "It's very simple. Anyone who wants to be class monitor, Youth League secretary, or any other position can voluntarily sign up for the election. Then the whole class will vote democratically, fairly and justly, and the one with the most votes will win. The person elected this way will be accepted by everyone, and no one will have any complaints."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Yes, this is indeed the best way. A fair and democratic vote will leave no room for criticism."

After saying that, he said with a slight worry, "I heard that when you and Su Luming came to pick up your camouflage uniforms before military training, Su Luming went back and bought some daily necessities for each of the female students, which cost a lot of money. Moreover, she talked to each of them one by one, hoping that the girls would vote for her when she ran for class monitor."

After speaking, he looked at Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, to be honest, I really hope you can be elected class monitor. Your grades are undoubtedly top-notch, at the absolute pinnacle! But grades alone aren't enough. The position of class monitor requires more than just leadership; it also demands a strong sense of responsibility and organizational skills. In my opinion, among this year's students, you have the strongest overall abilities. If you become class monitor, my job will be much easier, and I can better guide you all over these four years. So... are you going to prepare yourself?"

He was clearly worried that Ye Fan was too "Buddhist-like".

After hearing this, Ye Fan simply shrugged indifferently, a calm yet confident smile playing on his lips: "Teacher Jiang, don't worry. She can't beat me."

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable power: "If I want to be the class monitor, that position will definitely be mine."
