ALL NOVEL Chapter 22: Hugging the thigh?
Compared to the first and second years of high school, the lunch break in the third year was only a short hour.
As it approached 1 p.m., Yang Ting came to the classroom and urged the students to study.
She sat on the podium, her gaze occasionally drifting towards Ye Fan.
After lunch, she had specifically gone to Li Wenqing's office.
When she saw the bright red 100 on Ye Fan's test paper, she was really shocked.
He didn't write the essay.
But he didn't lose a single point otherwise.
This...
Was unbelievable!
Could this kid really score 700 points?
The difficulty of this test was very high.
For English alone, apart from Ye Fan getting a perfect score, the highest score among the remaining students was only 136.
Moreover, she asked Li Wenqing and the highest score for Chinese was 124.
Based on the current situation, if Ye Fan could get perfect scores in math and science, then the first place in the class would definitely be his.
Getting first place in the class without even writing the essay?
Yang Ting only wanted to say three words.
That's absurd!
After all, this was Zhenhua High School.
...
Ye Fan held a thick book, "A General History of Mathematics", and read it attentively.
The system prompt sounded in his mind from time to time.
"Reading for ten minutes, experience points +1."
"Reading for ten minutes, experience points +1."
...
He wouldn't miss any opportunity to gain experience points, no matter when or where.
"Ring!"
The math exam began.
Taking the test paper, Ye Fan scanned the questions and started writing swiftly.
The four options for the multiple-choice questions were instantly filtered out, leaving only the correct answer.
His efficiency was like a supercomputer.
He finished all the multiple-choice questions in just a few minutes.
When he reached the later math problems, his speed was not affected at all.
Various formulas came to him effortlessly...
Seventeen minutes.
When Ye Fan put down his pen, only seventeen minutes had passed since the start of the exam.
And he didn't deliberately rush.
He did it very relaxedly and casually.
After checking it once and confirming that there were no problems, he decided to hand in his paper.
"Teacher, I'm done."
Instantly, all the students raised their heads, disbelief written all over their faces.
How long had it been, and he was already handing in his paper???
Was he crazy?!
Math teacher Liu Hongwei frowned, displeasure evident on his face. "Are you trying to cause trouble?"
Ye Fan smiled calmly. "Teacher, I'm really done."
He placed the test paper on the teacher's desk, and the next second, he clutched his stomach, acting as if he was in pain.
"Teacher, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet."
"..."
Hearing this, all the students gave Ye Fan a thumbs-up in their hearts.
They still vividly remembered what had happened in the morning.
The reason was also a stomachache.
This guy was really milking this excuse for all it was worth.
"Go ahead."
Liu Hongwei waved his hand impatiently.
To be honest, he had a bad impression of Ye Fan.
Very bad.
Extremely bad.
Every time he was teaching, Ye Fan was either daydreaming or reading.
Reading was a good thing.
But the key was that Ye Fan was reading books that were completely unrelated to math.
This made Liu Hongwei doubt his own teaching ability.
When he went to the principal's office in the morning, the principal even praised Ye Fan by name.
Saying that Ye Fan was a genius.
Liu Hongwei was speechless.
A genius?
Bullshit!
He wanted to see what this transfer student was really capable of, to be praised so highly by the principal.
Thinking of this, Liu Hongwei picked up Ye Fan's test paper and started grading.
...
Ning Xi stared at Ye Fan's back and sighed softly.
Did this guy just like to be special?
Wait a minute...
She suddenly remembered that Class 1 had P.E. class that afternoon.
She had heard from Luo Yumeng last time that Ye Fan had lunch with Su Qiaoyu from Class 1.
Could it be that Ye Fan handed in his paper early to meet with Su Qiaoyu?
Or rather, to go on a date!
As soon as this thought appeared, she felt a surge of irritability in her heart, and she tapped her fingers lightly on the desk.
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"
Luo Yumeng, who was sitting next to her, looked up slightly.
"Nothing, focus on the exam!"
Ning Xi suppressed the thoughts in her mind and started to work on the problems seriously.
On the other side.
Ye Fan left the classroom and headed straight for the library.
Tao Zhong sat at the front desk, reading with relish.
"Sir, thank you so much for this morning."
"Oh, it's you?"
Tao Zhong looked up, saw Ye Fan, and asked with a smile, "Did you get scolded when you went back?"
"Yeah."
Ye Fan nodded, not feeling embarrassed at all.
Tao Zhong asked, "It's class time now, why are you here again? Skipping class or..."
"Exam, I handed in my paper early."
Ye Fan said concisely, "Sir, I have a favor to ask. Can you wake me up at 3:30 p.m.?"
"You kid..."
Tao Zhong shook his head with a smile and pointed to the bookshelf on the left side of the second row. "Go ahead, the books you were reading this morning are on that bookshelf. I'll wake you up at 3:30 p.m."
"Thank you, sir."
After thanking him, Ye Fan walked to the bookshelf, casually picked up a book, sat on the floor, and started reading.
Looking at Ye Fan on the floor, Tao Zhong's expression turned strange.
He handed in his paper early just to come to the library to read.
This kid was a little different.
Little did he know, Ye Fan was doing all this just to gain experience points.
Experience points were the most important thing in the world!
With Tao Zhong's reminder, Ye Fan managed to rush back to the classroom before Liu Hongwei collected the papers.
"Excuse me!"
All the students looked at the classroom door in unison, pity in their eyes.
He dared to skip Liu Hongwei's class.
Brother, rest in peace!
The students of Class 2 had all experienced Liu Hongwei's fiery temper firsthand.
It was... well...
Unforgettable!
Therefore, there was a saying among the students of Class 2:
It's better to offend Teacher Yang than to offend King Yama Liu!
This showed how fearsome he was.
Just as all the students thought Liu Hongwei would fly into a rage, his next words left everyone dumbfounded.
"Come in."
Liu Hongwei smiled and said, "Are you feeling better? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
The classroom was silent.
What was going on? Did he eat some weird pills?
Normally, there should be a verbal battle at this point.
Moreover, King Yama Liu was actually smiling.
This was like seeing a sow fly!
"Teacher, I'm fine, thank you."
Ye Fan smiled and nodded as he walked towards his seat.
He wasn't surprised by Liu Hongwei's attitude.
The reason was naturally the math test paper.
And it was indeed the case.
After grading Ye Fan's test paper, Liu Hongwei was surprised, amazed, and excited.
The difficulty of this math test paper was very high.
But Ye Fan had finished the entire test paper in less than twenty minutes.
And most importantly, he got everything right!
Not only that, but Ye Fan's answers and problem-solving steps were very ingenious.
He even used some knowledge from university courses, which made him, the teacher, a little confused at first.
A genius.
This was a true genius!!!
How could Liu Hongwei bear to criticize such a student?
He was even thinking of calling Ye Fan to his office to have a good discussion.
Yes, a discussion.
He had learned a lot from Ye Fan's problem-solving methods.
It was unbelievable, but it was true.
"Ring—"
The bell rang for the end of class.
The students handed in their papers one after another.
Liu Hongwei picked up the papers, his eyes lingering on Ye Fan for a moment.
But remembering that there was still a science exam later, he temporarily suppressed the thought.
He would talk to Ye Fan after the exams.
After Liu Hongwei left, Ning Xi turned around and knocked on the table. "Where did you go after you handed in your paper? Don't tell me you really had a stomachache."
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes. "Guess."
"Childish!"
Ning Xi snorted.
"Oh."
Ye Fan said calmly, "Don't ask me about physics problems anymore, that's it."
Ning Xi: "..."
He could threaten people so openly...
"I... I was just kidding master~"
After saying that, she gave Ye Fan an ingratiating smile.
At this moment, Ning Xi couldn't help but despise herself.
How hypocritical!
But as long as she could improve her physics grades, hypocrisy was fine.
Ye Fan stared at Ning Xi with interest. This was the first time he had seen this girl acting like this.
In his previous life, Ning Xi was gentle, considerate, and understanding.
He had never seen this side of her before.
Perhaps this was Ning Xi's true nature.
"I forgive you."
Ye Fan explained softly, "The stomachache was just an excuse. After handing in my paper, I went to the library to read."
"Really?"
There was a hint of doubt in Ning Xi's eyes.
Reading?
More like looking at beautiful girls!
Within books lie houses of gold, within books lie Su Qiaoyu...
If Ye Fan knew what Ning Xi was thinking, he would give her a loving flick on the forehead.
"Yeah."
Ye Fan nodded and said casually, "Xiao Xi, how many points do you think you can get this time?"
"Why are you asking?"
Ning Xi was a little puzzled.
She no longer bothered to correct the way Ye Fan addressed her.
Because no matter how she corrected him, Ye Fan would forget in the blink of an eye.
Forget it.
It wouldn't hurt her anyway.
"Just asking."
"Well... if I can get 670 points this time, I'll thank my lucky stars."
Ning Xi said with a troubled look, "The test papers are so difficult, I'll probably lose a lot of points."
"Not bad."
Ye Fan was relieved.
He had heard from Luo Yumeng that Ning Xi's grades were always first or second place.
Even if she could only get 660 points, then getting first place in the class with 700 points shouldn't be a problem.
"What's good about it?"
Ning Xi sighed and said softly, "My usual total score is around 710, and this time it's going to drop so much, it's terrible."
Her delicate appearance made people feel pity for her.
"Don't think too much, the usual test papers are too simple, there's too much water."
Ye Fan comforted her gently. "The difficulty of this test paper is not bad, the college entrance exam papers should be similar to this, it's the most suitable to use as a reference."
"And I have some good news to tell you."
"What good news?"
Ning Xi blinked, looking adorable.
Ye Fan stared at Ning Xi's fair face and said with a smile, "I just did the math, you'll meet a noble person who will help you, getting into Tsinghua University won't be a problem."
"So, you need to hug this noble person's thigh, as tightly as you can!"
"A noble person? Hugging their thigh?"
Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes and spat, "Ugh!"
Luo Yumeng saw the two of them whispering and curiously leaned over. "What are you two talking about?"
The corners of Ye Fan's mouth curled up. "Talking about hugging thighs..."
"We... we weren't talking about anything."
Ning Xi glared at Ye Fan and interrupted him. "We were talking about the math problems just now, do you want to join us?"
"No."
As soon as she heard about math problems, Luo Yumeng decisively gave up on joining the conversation.
She left the last three questions blank.
Because... she couldn't solve them.
"You... don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing that Luo Yumeng was no longer paying attention to them, Ning Xi said in a low voice.
Ye Fan changed the subject and asked, "Which subjects are you losing points in?"
"Physics and math."
Ning Xi counted on her fingers and answered honestly, "My physics score is usually around 80, and math is around 135."
Her soft voice was very pleasant to hear.
A look of understanding flashed in Ye Fan's eyes.
It seemed like girls were naturally not talented in math and physics.
Some girls were exceptionally gifted, but not many.
Most girls weren't good at, nor were they interested in, logical thinking, observation, and analysis.
"Okay, I got it."
"After the exam, be in my study group."
"Huh?"
Ning Xi quickly shook her head and refused. "No, I..."
"If you don't want to improve your grades, then forget I said anything."
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and said confidently, "If you're in my study group, in next week's monthly exam, your physics and math scores will each increase by at least ten points."
"I..."
Ning Xi's face was full of hesitation, her mind torn.
Ye Fan wasn't in a hurry.
Because he knew that Ning Xi would agree.
He only wanted to say two words to this little rabbit.
Gotcha!!!
