Ye Fan left the school and began house hunting again.
After all, when the time came to leave the hospital, he would definitely need a place to live, and of course, he was looking for a three-bedroom apartment.
One room for himself, one for Bai Susu and the child, and one for Mother Ye and the confinement nanny; if it really came down to it, Mother Ye and Bai Susu could share a room, which would also make it convenient for taking care of each other.
Given his own identity, which was somewhat special, Bai Susu would certainly not agree to share a room with him.
Forget it, take it slow, one day he would make Bai Susu willingly become his woman.
Soon, Ye Fan found an apartment in a slightly upscale neighborhood, of course after seeing some rental ads at street corners, calling the number, and getting in touch with the place.
"Are you Mr. Ye?" At this moment, a young man approached with a smile.
"Mhm, hello," Ye Fan nodded.
This man seemed to be not much older than himself.
"Hello, my name is Ji Ran. Mr. Ye, let me show you my apartment first. The apartment was bought by my parents for my sister, but she's abroad and won't be coming back for the next couple of years, so we've decided to rent it out," said the young man.
His parents had bought an apartment for him and one for his sister as well, but since his sister was overseas and wouldn't be back in the next year or two, they thought that it was better to rent it out rather than leave it empty.
"Mr. Ji, how much is your apartment per month? I'd like to rent it for a year," Ye Fan said.
Yes, he would have to rent it for at least a year.
Besides, moving back and forth between apartments was troublesome.
"Three thousand a month, thirty-six thousand for the year, but I'll charge you thirty-five thousand," Ji Ran said.
The price was quite reasonable.
Moreover, the apartment was fully furnished.
"Look, the apartment is on the third floor; it's very convenient to get in and out. The security in this complex is also quite good. There's a fitness park at the back and the greening of the complex is nice as well," he explained.
"Look at this apartment, it faces the sun. As soon as the sun rises, it shines in here. The layout includes three bedrooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a living room, plus a large balcony. It's very comfortable."
"Also, there's a supermarket and service station nearby; it's very convenient, no matter how you look at it," Ji Ran kept explaining earnestly.
Ye Fan felt that it was a shame this guy wasn't working as a real estate agent.
His introduction was very thorough, and he really knew how to showcase the place. He was quite impressive.
Probably even the professional agents wouldn't be as detailed as Ji Ran.
"Alright, this place is indeed convenient. Let's exchange WeChat contacts, so I can reach you if there's anything. I'll rent this apartment," Ye Fan said, taking out his phone and looking at Ji Ran.
The apartment really was nice, and the location was good too.
Ji Ran was right; renting here was indeed a good choice.
"Sure thing, thank you. Just contact me via WeChat for anything. All the home appliances here are available for use; water and electricity are all normal. You can move in with just your bags," Ji Ran spoke again, looking at the thirty-five thousand transferred to his phone with even more joy in his heart.
"Here are the keys, two sets, thank you," Ji Ran said with a smile.
This young man was really easy to talk to.
After completing the transaction, Ji Ran left.
Ye Fan held the keys and surveyed the apartment once more, growing increasingly satisfied with it.
The apartment had two bathrooms, one of which featured a large bathtub, which would be very convenient for bathing the children. The other bathroom was slightly smaller but still quite nice.
The money was well spent.
Then, looking at the fairly complete set of home appliances, washing machine, TV, fridge, everything was there, which indeed saved a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan went to the supermarket again and bought quilts, sheets, and so on. With time on his hands, he bought everything needed so that when Bai Susu got out of the hospital, she could come back here to stay. How great that would be.
In the future, this will be their little home.
For the first time, he felt such excitement.
Ye Fan cleaned the rooms again, and only then did he nod in satisfaction.
The more he looked at the house, the more he liked it.
When everything settled down in the future, he planned to bring his parents to the city to live. He would buy them a villa and let them run a small business, just to keep them occupied. With the System, did he need to worry about money in the future?
How could that be possible?
With the System in hand, I have the world!
Having sorted everything out, Ye Fan bought some food and went to the hospital.
As soon as he entered the ward, he saw his mother and Bai Susu chatting about something, both looking exceptionally happy.
Goodness, these two were really something.
He had walked in, and it seemed like neither of them even noticed.
It was only after entering that Ye Fan heard what Mother Ye was saying, and his handsome face instantly darkened.
Goodness, is there a mother who talks about her own son like this?
"Susu, you have no idea, Ye Fan was so mischievous when he was little. Back then, he used to run around the village in open-crotch pants, often stealing bird eggs with the other kids, and sneaking into the village to steal chickens. Then several kids would roast the chickens up in the mountains, and they were caught several times. He even tried to smoke out hornets to bring back for us to fry their larvae."
"I remember the first time he smoked a hornet's nest, he stung himself so bad, his face swelled up like a pig's head. It scared his father and me to death. He had to be injected with fluids for three days, and this kid has been afraid of needles ever since he was small."
Mother Ye became more animated the more she talked, and Bai Susu seemed to enjoy listening more and more.
She hadn't expected Ye Fan to have been such a naughty child.
Growing up in the countryside suddenly seemed so appealing to her.
She, on the other hand, had never been allowed to play as a child, only being trained by her parents in dancing, piano, and numerous other subjects. That dull and monotonous childhood, whenever she recalled it, made her feel deeply disappointed.
She envied Ye Fan, envied him for having such loving parents. Bai Susu could see that Mother Ye loved Ye Fan a lot.
As for her own parents... At this thought, a trace of disappointment flashed in Bai Susu's eyes.
All along, she had longed for the warmth and care of a family, but in her family clan, only her grandfather truly cherished her. Even her parents were strict and harsh, always thinking of maximizing their benefits through her.
Perhaps this was the sorrow of being born into wealth.
Maybe she had boundless wealth and luxury for life, but what was missing was affectionate warmth.
But she would rather forgo all that for a loving family, loving parents, and a harmonious and joyful household.
"Mom, what bad things are you saying about me now?" Ye Fan looked at his mother, feeling quite speechless.
Ah, this was just how his mother was.
"You rascal, are you asking for a spanking? Can't I even talk about you?" Mother Ye's face flashed with embarrassment, as she pretended to be calm and glared at her son.
Really, being a mother wasn't easy, was it?
Wasn't she just trying to make Bai Susu more interested in Ye Fan?
