Chen Fan felt like he was looking at a different person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two made eye contact, and then Chen Fan smiled and opened his arms wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Guo Shuai extended his right hand instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One wanted a hug, the other wanted a handshake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was slightly taken aback but suddenly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Guo Shuai's wrist and pulled him over, hugging him tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good brother, welcome back to the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan patted Guo Shuai's back hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai's emotions were obviously somewhat affected, forcing out an unnatural smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, thank you for coming to pick me up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he nodded at Su Ruochu beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu smiled slightly, \"Guo Shuai, welcome out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Fan has been counting the days early to give you a proper welcome and cleansing ceremony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai scratched his head embarrassingly, \"It's not a good thing, why do you need to welcome and cleanse me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But going in this time, it's like experiencing a rebirth. The greatest luck in this life is having a good brother like Chen Fan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he glanced at Chen Fan, then his gaze secretly swept towards the car behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan knew what Guo Shuai was looking at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She didn't come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he added another sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, this morning I asked Ruo Chu to contact Liu Lingling, but it seems she changed her phone number, and we don't know her new number.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay, I'll go see her after I get back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll scare her with my current appearance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan patted Guo Shuai's shoulder and noticed the luggage bag in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's in there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai explained embarrassingly, \"Two changes of clothes and toiletries...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why are you still carrying it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan took it directly, walked over, and threw the luggage bag into the trash can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, when you're out, everything is brand new. Say goodbye to the past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan ran quickly to the car, took out a bottle of mineral water and a willow branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I specifically watched two Hong Kong movies last night and learned this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan wet the willow branch with mineral water, then began to hit Guo Shuai with it while muttering incantations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai looked awkward, while Su Ruochu covered her mouth and giggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai had a black line on his face, \"Chen Fan, are you really doing it right? I feel like...that's not how it's done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan looked up, \"It's more or less the idea. You really want me to get Stephen Chiau and Chow Yun-fat for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan capped the mineral water bottle and threw away the willow branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that should do it. From today onwards, start anew. Everything starts over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patted Guo Shuai's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go! Get in the car. I've specially booked a great place for your welcome and cleansing ceremony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the back seat, Guo Shuai opened his mouth uncomfortably, \"Actually, I feel bad making you spend money on me right after I got out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan turned his head to look at him, \"You feel bad? Then should we not go to a restaurant? Let's just have some instant noodles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai glared at him: \"You want me to die right in front of you to prove it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu laughed happily on the side and patted Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, you two are just like before, can't you be more mature?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai sighed, \"Sister-in-law, I felt like I matured more than ten years inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu smiled and comforted him: \"That's psychological maturity. It's good for a man to be psychologically mature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan then turned and joked: \"Wife, does this give off a mature middle-aged uncle vibe? Is this the style young girls like nowadays?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu rolled her eyes unhappily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're overly mature. You've matured into an old grandpa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place for dining was set at Yunhai's only five-star hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Chen Fan's words, whether the food was good or not was another matter, the price represented sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When entering, Guo Shuai curiously looked around the magnificent lobby and said in a low voice, \"We could have just gone to a street food stall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled, \"It's okay. You don't need to be polite with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though I don't earn much now, I can still afford to treat you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he leaned over and explained with a smile: \"The main thing is you can rest here after eating, and this hotel also has saunas. You see in Hong Kong and Taiwanese movies, when a bigshot comes out of prison, they have to go to a sauna first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai looked torn between laughing and crying, while Chen Fan comforted him: \"Don't be so anxious, just listen to me today. It's all arranged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upstairs in the private room, dish after dish was served.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan took out a bottle of liquor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is good stuff, someone gave it to me. I haven't had the heart to drink it, I was originally planning to bring it back home for my old man during the New Year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai waved his hand: \"Alright, alright, buy another bottle for your old man when you go home, let me taste this one for you first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai opened the liquor bottle and lightly smelled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, it really is good stuff. I haven't had a drink for almost a year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poured himself a glass, but then noticed Chen Fan's cup was upside down and paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not drinking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled: \"I have to drive later, so I can't drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh come on, that excuse may fool others but not me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The car can be driven by your sister-in-law later. Also, aren't you staying tonight? You can't have me stay alone, can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan laughed wryly and turned to look at Su Ruochu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll...have a little?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu smiled, \"Drink up, I'm not stopping you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai gave a thumbs up, \"Sister-in-law understands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu smiled and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. I know you two have some things you can't comfortably say in front of me, so I'll leave first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai was startled and quickly stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister-in-law, that's like a slap in the face...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu laughed, \"I have to go back for night self-study classes. If there's anything, you two can chat freely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you should at least finish eating first before leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't we just eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan waved at Guo Shuai: \"She's on a diet recently, so she didn't eat much more than a little chick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then took out his car keys and handed them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can drive back, if Xiaoshuai needs the car I'll have him call you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu glanced at Chen Fan and said softly: \"Eating and taking a sauna is fine, just don't do anything improper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan cleared his throat, \"Dear wife, don't wrong me. We're just going to take a proper sauna later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know how proper that sauna will be, but you'd better behave properly at least.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1272,"2026-06-05T15:06:40.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","d9f5fd2575812bc58866d9b3c4649429105ee3aeed2e9acffd6482f25affadaf","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-274","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-272",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
