Bai Susu was carefully placed on the bed, and the blanket was tucked around her.
The wedding dress and other clothes on the bed were folded neatly and set aside on the chair.
Softly, he kissed Bai Susuâs forehead, then turned off the roomâs light, and climbed back to his own room from the balcony.
As soon as he returned to his room, there was a knock at the door.
When Ye Fan opened the door, there stood Zhao Xiaotian and Fang Dajian right outside.
âCome on, letâs go downstairs for some skewers and have some beer together before we sleep late!â As he finished speaking, Zhao Xiaotian didnât give Ye Fan a chance to respond and started pulling him outside.
They had already asked Zhuge to prepare the ingredients.
They were just waiting to enjoy the grilled skewers.
The girls had gone to sleep early. Zhao Xiaotian came late and hadnât eaten dinner yet.
âOkay, Zhao Xiaotian, you really arrived late this time. Weâve finished eating and were about to go to bed when you finally showed up,â Ye Fan said.
Indeed, he thought Zhao Xiaotian wouldnât be able to make it.
âI almost didnât make it. I took a day off and sneaked out, you know. The school is strict in their checks; I nearly couldnât fool the teachers. Thankfully, Iâm a superb actor. After attending your wedding tomorrow, I need to rush back as fast as I can. Otherwise, Iâm dead meat,â Zhao Xiaotian explained.
The flight from Jiang City to Daobo City took several hours.
It wasnât easy for him.
âAlright, Iâll reimburse you for the flight ticket. After all, we are brothers; I canât let you spend so much,â Ye Fan said.
He knew Zhao Xiaotianâs family was in need of money and wondered if the last amount he gave was enough.
He wondered how Susuâs father was recovering.
âNo need, weâre bros, and I can afford this bit. My parents always talk about you, haha, they say I should learn more from you,â Zhao Xiaotian said.
The three of them sat at the table, drinking beer and chatting.
Zhuge and Bai Qi were grilling skewers on the side.
âSo that I wonât starve to death in the future or fail to repay your money, haha,â Zhao Xiaotian said with a laugh.
In the eyes of his own parents now, Ye Fan was the child with prospects.
He was the role model.
âDonât say that; if you canât pay it back, then donât. The main thing is that Uncle is okay,â Ye Fan said.
He truly considered Zhao Xiaotian as a brother, and when a brother was in trouble, he couldnât not help.
Especially when he was able to help.
If he werenât in a position to help, then there was nothing to be done.
In the past, whenever he faced problems, it was Zhao Xiaotian who helped him out. So Ye Fan always kept these things in mind.
Of course, Fang Dajian was the same, always helping him out while they were in school.
Back in high school, when someone wanted to beat him up, these two always stood with him. In the end, the three of them couldnât beat the group of more than ten and had to run away.
Latter on, Fang Dajian brought in a bunch of guys with his own money, fought back, and those guys never dared to trouble them again.
Ye Fan remembered many things like this.
Life isnât too long; having two sincere brothers like this isnât easy at all.
Some say brothers arenât about quantity but about those who will give you a hand when youâre in trouble â even having one or two is lucky.
Ye Fan understood all these principles.
So, Fang Dajian and Zhao Xiaotian were his brothers for life.
If he could lend a hand, he definitely would.
âI donât like to hear that, Ye Fan. A loan is a loan, a gift is a gift; I can tell the difference. I remember your kindness. I will definitely repay it. If not, Iâll just work for you my whole life, haha!â Zhao Xiaotian laughed as he ate his lamb skewers and drank his beer.
He believed that working for Ye Fan wouldnât result in being shortchanged or treated unfairly.
âWelcome to Changâan Company, or Sufan Company works too, haha!â Fang Dajian said with a laugh.
âDa Jian, tell me, are there any beauties in the company? You know, curvy, with delicate complexions? Top-notch beauties,â Zhao Xiaotian asked Fang Dajian, unable to contain his curiosity.
âOh yes, there are plenty. Those are strong businesswomen, absolutely top-notch,â Fang Dajian nodded, speaking very seriously.
âI love beauties. Give me two years to graduate and then Iâll come looking for you,â Zhao Xiaotian said with a laugh, his face reddening after just one bottle of beer.
This guy, he canât handle too much alcohol.
He gets flushed from drinking!
His tolerance is poor!
Ye Fan watched Zhao Xiaotian and couldnât help but smile helplessly.
Such a character!
âYe Fan, congratulations on getting married. Among the three of us, youâre the second oldest, younger than me but a bit older than Xiaotian. I didnât expect that youâd be the first to get married among us. I wish you harmony and happiness for a lifetime!â Saying this, Fang Dajian downed a glass.
âThe words are in the drink, cheers!â Ye Fan immediately picked up his glass and started drinking.
âYou two, youâve forgotten about me. Here, cheers!â Zhao Xiaotian also raised his glass and began to drink.
âXiaotian, you canât drink anymore. Be careful not to get drunk,â Ye Fan said.
âI wonât go home unless Iâm drunk. Iâm happy; let me drink some more,â Zhao Xiaotian insisted, pouring himself another glass as he picked up a skewer of roasted lamb and began to eat.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, picked up a chicken wing and started eating.
