ALL NOVEL Chapter 21: Touching?
Heh—
She had seen many confident students, but never one as confident as Ye Fan.
He didn't even write the essay and still wanted to get first place?
Did he think his dad was the king or something??
After squatting for a while, Ye Fan's right leg felt numb.
He stood up, stomped his foot lightly, and retorted, "Why not?"
Yang Ting: "..."
"Having confidence is good, but blind confidence is arrogance."
With that, she walked into the classroom with the test paper. "Mr. Li, this is Ye Fan's test paper."
Chinese teacher Li Wenqing smiled and nodded. He had seen everything that happened outside the classroom just now.
However, he didn't know the details of the conversation between Yang Ting and Ye Fan.
"Teacher Yang, what's going on with Ye Fan?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
Yang Ting's eyes flickered slightly, and in the end, she chose not to expose Ye Fan's lie. "He wasn't feeling well, but it's nothing serious."
"Just grade it, as usual, Mr. Li. Follow the rules. It's up to him how many points he can get."
"Okay."
Li Wenqing didn't think much of it.
Walking out of the classroom, Yang Ting wanted to lecture Ye Fan again.
But Ye Fan was nowhere to be seen outside the classroom.
She stomped her foot in anger and thought to herself, "Alright, Ye Fan, just wait until the results come out!"
...
In the cafeteria.
Ye Fan ate the braised pork with gusto, sighing with satisfaction.
Coming early was great.
At least... he didn't have to queue.
Moreover, the cafeteria lady's hand tremors seemed to have subsided a lot.
As he was eating, a girl's delicate fragrance wafted into his nose.
Looking up, Ye Fan saw Ning Xi sitting down opposite him. He was a little stunned. "Xiao Xi, why are you sitting here?"
"There's no one here, can't I sit here?"
Ning Xi was speechless, her mind starting to race.
Didn't they agree that he would call her by her name?
How long had it been, and he had already forgotten???
Ugh...
"Of course you can."
Ye Fan smiled, but when he saw the food on Ning Xi's plate, he frowned slightly.
There were only vegetables and rice on Ning Xi's plate, nothing else.
"Why are you only eating this?"
"I'm on a diet."
Ning Xi replied casually.
"You're already so slim, and you're still dieting? Are you trying to become an immortal?"
"You..."
Ning Xi blushed slightly. Although Ye Fan was complimenting her, she felt something was off.
He could spout compliments so easily?
And he sounded so natural...
Could it be that he said this to every girl?
Ugh, what a player!
Unconsciously, the girl labeled Ye Fan as a player in her heart.
If Ye Fan knew what Ning Xi was thinking at this moment, he would cry out, "I'm wronged!"
"I know I'm handsome."
Ning Xi: "..."
What a narcissist.
Although he was indeed quite handsome...
No, no, no!
Ye Fan picked up his plate and gave half of his braised pork to Ning Xi. "Finish all of this, and I'll tutor you in physics."
"I..."
Ning Xi opened her mouth, but the words were stuck in her throat.
She had come to Ye Fan precisely for physics tutoring.
But when he said it, it felt different.
Like... she was selling herself!
She was a woman of principle.
Hmm? The meat smelled quite good...
...
Watching Ning Xi devour the food, Ye Fan couldn't help but smile. "Eat slowly, I'll get you more if it's not enough."
With that, he unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Ning Xi. "Don't just eat, drink some water."
He looked like a father taking care of his daughter.
It was indeed the case.
After being reborn, Ye Fan was mentally mature enough to be Ning Xi's father.
And he was indeed treating Ning Xi like his daughter.
It was just that his motives weren't entirely pure.
"Thank you."
Ning Xi took a few sips of water, her words muffled. "It's so good..."
But as she ate, she started to feel troubled again.
She had just made up her mind to go on a diet and only managed to stick to it for a day before Ye Fan disrupted it.
Ning Xi, Ning Xi, why couldn't you control your mouth?
Sad, mushroom.
Seeing the girl frown, Ye Fan chuckled. "Don't think too much, you need to eat your fill to have the energy to diet."
Ning Xi: "..."
This was the first time she had heard such a reason.
It seemed to make a little bit of sense...
How could she have the energy to diet if she didn't eat her fill?!
So, Ning Xi channeled her frustration into strength and finished the entire portion of braised pork.
"Burp..."
Her face instantly flushed red.
"I... I... didn't mean to..."
"I didn't hear anything."
Ye Fan said with a smile, "Let's go back to the classroom first, I'll take the plates."
After clearing their plates, he stood up and walked towards the dishwashing window.
"Huh?"
Ning Xi was a little dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Picking out meat for her, handing her water, and even clearing the plates after she finished eating...
Why did it feel so strange?
As for what was strange, she thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out.
"What are you spacing out for?"
After putting away the plates and seeing Ning Xi still sitting there, a sunny smile appeared on Ye Fan's face. "Let's go, I'll tutor you in physics back in the classroom."
"Oh."
Ning Xi replied weakly, her heart a little complicated.
Wasn't Ye Fan being too nice to her?
There must be an ulterior motive behind his excessive kindness.
His motives must be impure!
The girl's vigilance reminded her to be careful of Ye Fan...
It was indeed the case.
Ning Xi regarded Ye Fan as a classmate, but Ye Fan wanted to sleep with her. What motives... cough cough!
Back in the classroom.
Ye Fan patted Ning Xi's shoulder. The feeling he got from her shoulder made him slightly unhappy.
Why was she so thin?
And most importantly, this girl was still dieting.
Was she trying to become an immortal or something?!
"What's wrong?"
Ning Xi turned around, confusion in her eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Is there something on my face?"
"You're not allowed to diet anymore."
Ye Fan said with a hint of domineeringness. "Eat properly from now on, look how thin you've become!"
Ning Xi: "..."
Just because of this?
Dieting was her business, it had nothing to do with Ye Fan.
Why was he angry? It made no sense!
"Didn't... didn't you say you were going to tutor me in physics?"
Since she needed his help, Ning Xi forced a smile and asked, holding up her Huanggang exercise book, "I can't solve these last few big questions on this exercise book, please enlighten me, master."
"Good attitude."
Ye Fan nodded, then his tone changed. "However, your way of changing the subject is too obvious."
"Answer my question first, then I'll teach you."
"No more dieting, do you hear me?"
His tone and expression were unusually serious.
"Okay, okay." Ning Xi pouted secretly.
She had no choice.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Since she needed Ye Fan's help, she could only suppress her displeasure... well, she wasn't exactly displeased, she just felt a little unaccustomed.
Apart from her father, no one had ever cared about her like this before.
"Good."
Ye Fan smiled with satisfaction and pointed at the exercise book in front of him. "Which ones can't you solve?"
"This one, this one, and this one."
"Listen carefully. First, read the question carefully. The question states that AB intersects at..."
...
"I understand now."
Ning Xi said with admiration, "Ye Fan, you're amazing."
The physics problems in the exercise book that had been so difficult had become incredibly easy in Ye Fan's hands.
Most importantly, she could understand everything Ye Fan explained.
Unlike the teacher's explanations in class, which were vague and confusing.
"Just average."
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Study hard. There are only two months left until the college entrance exam. Remember, you're aiming for Tsinghua University."
"How did you know?"
Ning Xi's eyes widened in surprise.
Her dream university was indeed Tsinghua University.
But she had never told anyone about this thought, not even her father.
"I guessed."
Ye Fan smiled mysteriously and patted Ning Xi's small head. "Study hard, review what I just said a few times, and it's best to write it down in your class notes."
"The palest ink is better than the best memory."
"You..."
Ye Fan's sudden intimate gesture made Ning Xi blush furiously. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and she hurriedly looked around. Seeing that her classmates were all taking a nap, she felt relieved.
"Ye Fan, please don't... touch me like that in the future!"
After saying that, she angrily turned around and buried her burning face in her arms on the desk.
The corners of Ye Fan's mouth curled up as he stared at the girl's back with a smile.
Touching her???
Girl, you'll get used to it...
