45: Chapter 44 It's time to settle the debts some people owed me from my past life.

Just as Chen Fan was feeling terribly embarrassed!

Hearing his inner voice, The Four Sisters were both speechless and amused.

This stinky little brother, isn't he putting on too much of an act?

He can master things without a teacher just by not studying?

He can comprehend all knowledge from elementary school to university entirely on his own?

If you really were such a prodigy, you would have risen to fame long ago, and top domestic universities would be fighting over you!

You could live a booming life just relying on scholarships; where would you even need to drop out to work and deliver takeout?

They might believe that Chen Fan was a study prodigy material who could understand things with just a hint!

But they absolutely wouldn't believe that he didn't need anyone to teach him and could comprehend all knowledge entirely on his own!

This brat, was he really some sort of Immortal Venerable in his past life?

Immortals... are they all this good at bragging?

Forget it.

Once he actually goes to school and faces textbooks as difficult as heavenly books, realizing he can't keep up, he will naturally beg them to teach him.

By then, let's see how he keeps being so stubborn.

Thinking of this, Chen Xingyue hooked the corners of her lips into an enigmatic smile, already starting to plot how to "make things difficult" for this arrogant little brother when the time comes.

Right at this moment.

The voice in her mind changed its tone.

No longer mocking, no longer haughty.

Instead, it was deep, slow, as if it had fallen into some distant memories.

[Huasheng International University...]

[This Immortal Venerable also spent time in this school in the past life.]

[That period of time can hardly be considered a good memory.]

[Those fox friends and dog companions of the Fake Young Master frequently changed ways to bully and humiliate this Immortal Venerable.]

[Every time, the Fake Young Master arrived tardily, apologized with a face full of guilt, and then turned around to smile more happily than anyone else.]

[Every single bit of humiliation this Immortal Venerable suffered back then is carved deep within the Divine Soul.]

[Revisiting this old place this time is fine too.]

[In the previous life, some people owe this Immortal Venerable a debt, and it is time to settle it properly.]

[And also...]

The voice paused for a moment.

[The person who wasn't protected back then, the regrets that weren't made up for...]

[In this lifetime, it's time to bring them all to a conclusion.]

The voice of the voice pack grew lower and lower, the final sentence as light as a sigh.

Chen Fan's chewing motion suddenly slowed by half a beat.

This time, for some reason, he lost the mood to complain about the voice pack.

In a trance, he seemed to feel a hint of sorrow, desolation, complexity, and even... guilt from the voice pack's words?

It was as if some unbearable past truly carved a deep scar onto it.

Chen Fan dazed out for a moment.

Soon he shook his head and snapped back to reality.

What are you thinking?!

This must be another script made up by Brother Hao!

Today's AI voice packs are truly becoming more and more humanized; even the tone has cadence, making it feel so real.

The next second.

Chen Fan directly threw this matter to the back of his mind, his heart completely filled with anticipation for college life.

Meanwhile, the members of the Chen family at the dining table felt their hearts skip a beat after hearing this inner voice.

Bullying?

Xiaofan was actually bullied at school in his past life?

And what about someone who wasn't protected?

Chen Jianguo and Wang Xiaoyun looked at each other, both seeing heartache and anger in each other's eyes.

In this lifetime, they must never let their son suffer even a shred of grievance.

Whoever dares to touch the Chen family's good eldest son will have to pay the price!

Chen Xuening tapped her fingertips on the table, already plotting in her heart whether she should go to the school in advance to pull strings, or assign two accompanying bodyguards to Chen Fan?

Chen Yutong thought about preparing some common medicine, in case he gets beaten and injured without medicine to apply.

Chen Nianan pursed her lips, silently thinking.

If anyone bullies her younger brother, she would... she would draw a little figurine to curse them!

Chen Xingyue was even more direct, already thinking about how to use her connections within the circle to dig up and expose the backgrounds of those bullies so as to ruin their social lives.

The family members each had their own thoughts, their gazes falling in unison onto Chen Fan, who was burying his head in eating and looking completely satisfied.

Their desire to protect was instantly maxed out!

Good eldest son (stinky little brother), we will protect you!

Only Chen Jingci, after confirming that Chen Fan entering Huasheng International University was set in stone, twitched the corners of his mouth almost imperceptibly.

Fine!

School is different from home; that place is his home turf.

No matter what he wants to do, it's much better than being restricted and tied down at home.

Once Chen Fan goes there, unfamiliar with the place and with terrible grades, what kind of waves can he possibly stir up?

By then, who is more outstanding, who is more popular!

It will be crystal clear!

At this moment.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that his family members' expressions suddenly turned solemn, and the way they looked at him was somewhat strange.

What happened?

He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, looking light and breezy on the surface, but rapidly plotting in his heart.

Just now everyone was still passionately discussing tutoring Chen Fan on his homework, and the atmosphere was completely harmonious.

Why did it suddenly change?

Could Chen Fan have said something?

No, that fool has been burying his head in eating hard all along, and hasn't even opened his mouth.

Then...

Could Mom, Dad, and the sisters have suddenly found their conscience, feeling that they shouldn't have given him the cold shoulder, and thus felt guilty?

Yep, it must be like this!

Chen Jingci's smile grew a bit more confident.

He gracefully finished the last bite of pickles and calmly stood up:

"Dad, Mom, Sisters."

"I'm done eating, I'll go back to my room first to preview next week's lessons."

"..."

Then, his gaze pretended to fall carelessly on Chen Fan, his smile as warm as a spring breeze:

"Xiaofan, do you want to come along?"

"There are school publications and course introductions of Huashang International in my study, which can help you familiarize yourself with the school environment in advance."

"By the way, let's understand your current learning foundation."

"That way when the sisters tutor you later, it will be more targeted."

"..."

He spoke without a single flaw.

Every single word exuded sincerity.

Chen Fan's eyes lit up.

Go, go, go!

Of course go!

He was just worrying about knowing nothing about college, and Jing Ci-ge actively came to be his guide!

What kind of fairy brother is this?!

He hurriedly finished the last bite of porridge, stood up with bulging cheeks, and shouted incoherently:

"Want, want, want! Jing Ci giegie, wait for me!"

"Mm— thank you, brother! Let's go!"

"..."

Chen Jingci smiled slightly and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses.

He turned around and walked toward the stairs.

Chen Fan followed closely behind like a little tail, high-spirited.

Beside the dining table.

The members of the Chen family watched the two brothers leave, talking and laughing.

But their expressions were somewhat subtle.

Chen Jianguo put down his chopsticks and slightly frowned:

"Leaving them alone together... won't there be any problems?"

"..."

Wang Xiaoyun was also a bit hesitant: "How about I go take a look?"

"..."

Chen Xuening calmly pressed down on her mother's hand:

"Mom, don't be too nervous."

"This is at home, right under our noses, what could possibly happen? Don't scare yourself."

"..."

Chen Yutong also chimed in gently:

"Eldest Sister is right! Xiao Ci has always been sensible, there won't be any problems."

"It's also good for Xiaofan to spend more time alone with him. Feeling the kindness deep in Xiao Ci's bones, maybe his perception of him will change."

"..."

Hearing this, everyone else felt it made sense, put their minds at ease, and continued dining.
