Chapter 15: Narcissism!
Just as Chen Fan was deep in thought, the bathroom door suddenly flew open with a bang!
Startled, Chen Fan quickly darted behind the door, peeking out nervously at Shao Zining, who stood at the entrance holding a towel.
"Second Sister!" he cried. "Why didn't you knock?"
Shao Zining paused, surprised by his question. For a moment, she seemed at a loss.
"Uh... Was I supposed to knock?" she replied, her lips curling into a mischievous smile. "Oh, right, Xiao Fan's grown up now. Not like when you were a kid, so carefree. Tsk tsk, thinking back to when Xiao Fan used to bathe, he'd pull his sisters—"
Before she could finish, Meng Rongrong walked over and tapped her shoulder. "Zining, what are you joking about with Xiao Fan? Hurry and give him the towel, or he'll catch a cold."
Faced with Meng Rongrong, Shao Zining instantly lost her bravado. There was no helping it—eldest sister's authority was overwhelming.
A pale arm reached in, holding a towel and some men's clothes. These were clothes Meng Rongrong always kept at home, just in case Chen Fan returned. In truth, she was comforting herself, knowing the chances of his return were slim, but she still liked to immerse herself in the fantasy that he would come back.
Fortunately, today, that fantasy was reality.
Meng Rongrong closed the door, her tone soft and teasing toward Shao Zining.
Two minutes later, Chen Fan stepped out of the bathroom. Gazing at his own reflection—young, yet bearing traces of hardship—he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Ah, damn, I'm handsome! Am I becoming a little narcissistic? Chen Fan wondered, for everyone sees themselves as flawless.
Just then, a playful voice rang out behind him. "Hehe, Xiao Fan fresh out of the bath, a handsome man indeed."
It was Shao Zining!
Turning, Chen Fan met the gaze of his second sister.
"Well, I have to admit, Xiao Fan's looks are impeccable," she murmured. "Handsome and mature, with the air of a real man—far better than those pretty boys in showbiz."
Meng Rongrong's lips also curled into a smile. "Yes, Xiao Fan really is handsome."
Chen Fan drew in a sharp breath. So, it wasn't just his own imagination. He really was the most handsome!
After a bit of idle chatter, Meng Rongrong and Shao Zining set about calling their other sisters. They wouldn’t let Chen Fan show himself just yet. First, to give the others a surprise. Second, Shao Zining and Meng Rongrong wanted to see their reactions when they saw Chen Fan.
As for Chen Fan, he lounged on the side, scrolling through his phone.
A message appeared. Sender: Ye Xiu.
Chen Fan squinted and tapped it open.
"Mad Dragon, we've resolved the Johnson issue. The matter you mentioned about the God of War, Ares, coming to Dragon Country has been reported up. Don't worry, we'll dispatch members of the Heaven Squad—focus on Hua Jiang International Airport."
Chen Fan smiled wryly and replied.
"Alright, but make sure it's the elite squad from Heaven. Ordinary Heaven and Earth members shouldn't go—Ares could take them out with a single punch."
Sigh, the Dragon Squad was still too weak. Ye Xiu was only Earth rank... If Ares arrived, it would be like playing a game and mowing down NPCs. The elite Heaven Squad should be able to hold off the Eleven Guardians without much trouble.
He exhaled deeply, lost in thought...
Ten minutes later, Meng Rongrong and Shao Zining hung up their calls. Both turned toward Chen Fan, eyes shining.
"Xiao Fan, none of the other sisters can come back soon! But your fourth sister, Li Youran, is likely to return tomorrow."
Fourth sister is coming home?
