#### Chapter 101: The Battle Between Men
"Lin Xiangfeng, what are you doing here?" Fang Nan asked, still slightly annoyed that he had interrupted her passionate moment with Ye Chui. However, considering that Lin Xiangfeng was an old friend she hadn't seen in a long time, she wasn't going to get too angry.
"I'm working here at this research institute now," Lin Xiangfeng replied with a smile. "My father is a member of the board of directors of this institution. When I returned from studying abroad, he arranged for me to work here."
"Oh, I see. If I had known you were here, we wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble to get in." Fang Nan smiled.
If she had kept in touch with Lin Xiangfeng, they wouldn't have needed to owe Zuo Xiaoyou a favor to get into the institute.
But Fang Nan had long decided to cut ties with her old social circle, so it was impossible for her to know that Lin Xiangfeng was here.
Lin Xiangfeng glanced at Ye Chui and then said to Fang Nan, "Xiaonan, can you get me a bottle of water?"
"What the hell, you want water? Get it yourself. Why should I do it?" Fang Nan was immediately displeased. Did he think she was his maid?
Lin Xiangfeng's face darkened.
What infuriated Lin Xiangfeng even more was what happened next.
"Nan Nan, I'm actually a bit thirsty too. Could you get me a bottle of water?" Ye Chui said with a smile.
"Sure, Chuichui. I'll get it for you right away. Just wait here." Fang Nan nodded and agreed without hesitation.
She was as obedient as a maid!
"And while I'm at it, I'll get one for you too," she added, looking at Lin Xiangfeng.
The word "while" hurt Lin Xiangfeng. Seeing that Fang Nan was about to leave, he quickly said, "I want to drink..."
"Whatever I buy is what you'll drink!"
Fang Nan interrupted him rudely and walked away.
Lin Xiangfeng looked at her retreating figure, feeling a bit frustrated.
Ye Chui pondered. He didn't know what kind of relationship Lin Xiangfeng had with Fang Nan before, but it was clear that Lin Xiangfeng had feelings for her.
A rival in love!
They had just confirmed their relationship, and now a rival had dramatically appeared!
Seeing his rival frustrated in front of his girlfriend, Ye Chui couldn't help but feel amused.
But then Ye Chui's expression turned serious, and he said calmly to Lin Xiangfeng, "You wanted to get Nan Nan away on purpose, right? What do you want to do?"
Ye Chui had seen through Lin Xiangfeng's intention, which was why he had asked Fang Nan to get the water.
Lin Xiangfeng focused his gaze on Ye Chui, his expression icy. "Leave Xiaonan. You don't deserve her!"
It was an order.
Ye Chui's eyes turned cold.
What the hell, who did he think he was, saying I don't deserve her?
Ye Chui couldn't stand such baseless threats.
So he laughed. "You must have been nearby when I kissed Nan Nan just now. That was her first kiss."
Lin Xiangfeng's face turned even colder, his breathing suddenly becoming rapid.
It seemed he really had been nearby just now.
Bending over, he stared straight into Ye Chui's eyes. "I've known Xiaonan since she was three. Two years ago, when she and Fang Xi ran away from home, I was abroad and couldn't help her. But now that I've found her here, I won't let go. I'll do whatever it takes to win her back!"
His face twisted in a fierce expression.
Ye Chui wasn't intimidated. He simply smiled confidently and said, "You want to win her back, and you'll do whatever it takes? Fine, go ahead. I'd like to see what you plan to do."
Lin Xiangfeng's eyes flashed with a manic light, giving off a sense of obsession. He suddenly started laughing, pointing at Ye Chui. "You've got guts. Xiaonan didn't choose you for no reason. But I'll show her who the real man for her is!"
Fang Nan's footsteps could be heard as she returned with two bottles of water.
Lin Xiangfeng's face returned to normal, pretending he was just chatting with Ye Chui. Ye Chui also kept a neutral expression.
"Catch!"
Fang Nan tossed one bottle of water to Lin Xiangfeng and then carefully opened the other bottle, handing it to Ye Chui. "Here you go, Chuichui."
Lin Xiangfeng took the water, watching Fang Nan's attentive manner. It irritated him even more. He weighed the bottle in his hand and said, "Xiaonan, I have some work to do, so I need to go. It was nice running into you today."
"Go ahead and take care of your work. Let's keep in touch." Fang Nan smiled.
Lin Xiangfeng smiled slightly, thinking he still had some place in her heart.
But then Fang Nan added, "Chuichui might need your help in the future."
—Which implied that staying in touch was only because Ye Chui might need his help?
Lin Xiangfeng's face darkened. He forced a smile and walked away.
"Why did he seem so weird? Did he say
anything to you?" Fang Nan asked Ye Chui curiously.
Ye Chui shrugged. "No, we just had a brief chat. If he seemed weird, maybe he just needed to use the bathroom."
"Oh, he needed to use the bathroom." Fang Nan laughed, not giving it much thought.
Ye Chui had no intention of telling Fang Nan about Lin Xiangfeng's earlier words. That was a battle between men, and Ye Chui intended to handle it himself.
Now that his relationship with Fang Nan was confirmed, Ye Chui felt responsible for protecting and cherishing her. Rivals in love meant nothing to him; he didn't take the threat seriously at all.
Feeling playful, Ye Chui wrapped his arms around Fang Nan's waist and asked with a smile, "Nan Nan, should we continue what we were doing before we got interrupted?"
Fang Nan's face turned red, but she shyly nodded. The benefit of being a tomboy was that even though she occasionally acted shy and bashful, she could also be incredibly bold and wild.
After shyly nodding, she once again straddled Ye Chui, her body leaning down, lips locked with his in a passionate kiss...
They were resuming the wonderful moment that Lin Xiangfeng had interrupted earlier.
Fang Nan's position and actions felt amazing, especially the soft pressure against his chest from her breasts. It was incredibly comforting...
Ye Chui's excitement grew as he felt her warmth.
Meanwhile, behind a nearby tree, Lin Xiangfeng watched with a face full of anger.
He had indeed stumbled upon Ye Chui and Fang Nan kissing earlier. Shocked, he had revealed himself, but now that he had left, they continued their intimacy...
With a loud "snap," the bottle of water in his hand burst under his grip.
He stared at the sight of Fang Nan straddling Ye Chui and kissing him passionately, his face dark with rage.
...
After waiting for about two or three hours under the shade of the trees, Fang Nan pushed Ye Chui back to the instrument room.
Qian Xiaomai had already prepared the muscle vitality potion.
"Lie down on that platform, and I'll inject the potion now," Qian Xiaomai said, holding up a vial of light blue liquid.
Ye Chui followed her instructions, lying down and rolling up his pants to reveal his legs, which had become atrophied due to the car accident.
The sight of his legs was quite horrifying.
Although Fang Nan had seen them before and didn't react, Qian Xiaomai's face turned pale, and her movements became stiff.
"Xiaomai, what's wrong? Are you scared of how my legs look?" Ye Chui asked. During the initial DS scan, they had examined him with his pants on, not revealing his legs. Now, seeing Qian Xiaomai's pale face, it seemed she was frightened by his legs.
This was crucial for his recovery. If she messed up due to fear, he'd be in big trouble.
"No, I'm not scared. Even though your legs look like zombie muscles from a horror movie, I'm not scared at all! It's just... just..." Qian Xiaomai tried to find a good excuse but couldn't think of one. So she turned and pointed at a middle-aged man nearby. "You, come help me with the injection."
"You are scared, aren't you?" Fang Nan said, sweating a little.
"I'm not!" Qian Xiaomai insisted, trying to stay strong. "It's just... just... haven't you heard of the saying that men and women shouldn't touch hands in public?"
