ALL NOVEL Chapter 41 A Gift from Ning Xi
Lan Xi glared at Ning Xiangtian and said, "I'll go see if Aunt Wang has finished cooking dinner. You two father and daughter can chat."
With that, she turned and went upstairs, her back carrying a hint of awkwardness.
"Ahem!"
Ning Xiangtian was unfazed. He waved to his daughter and said, "Xiao Xi, how was the exam today?"
"Not bad."
Thinking back to today's exam, a hint of a smile appeared in Ning Xi's eyes.
Ye Fan's targeted tutoring had been very effective. During the comprehensive science exam, the usually difficult physics problems seemed to have become much easier.
It was precisely because of this that when Ye Fan said he had something for her after school, she readily agreed.
"Oh?"
Seeing his daughter's expression, Ning Xiangtian smiled and said, "It's rare to see you so happy, it seems you performed well."
Ning Xi put down her backpack and sat on the sofa, gently holding her father's arm.
Looking at the workbooks and test papers on the coffee table, her dimples danced on her cheeks.
"Dad, although you want to help me prepare for the college entrance exam, it still depends on me in the end. If I have any questions, I won't hesitate to ask you."
"You're usually so busy with work, it's a rare opportunity for you to rest, you don't have to work so hard."
"Silly girl, what are you talking about?"
Ning Xiangtian's eyes were filled with love as he stroked his daughter's head. "Being with my little princess, nothing is hard work."
"Eww~~~"
Ning Xi pouted. "That's so cheesy."
"Dad, are you saying these things you learned online on purpose to make me lose weight?"
"Lose weight?"
"Yeah, I got goosebumps all over."
"..."
The corners of Ning Xiangtian's mouth twitched, his eyes full of helplessness.
She was indeed his daughter.
With just one sentence, she completely destroyed the warm atmosphere they had just created.
"Pfft!"
Ning Xi covered her mouth and chuckled, blinking at her father.
"Alright, I was just kidding. I know you love me the most."
With just one sentence, Ning Xiangtian was beaming with joy.
He picked up the notebook on the coffee table and placed it in his daughter's hand. "This is Dad's work for today. These questions are all the best ones, a total of one hundred. From today onwards, we'll study one question a day."
"By then, I guarantee your physics and math scores will improve significantly!"
"Thank you, Dad."
The corners of Ning Xi's eyes curved upwards, her eyes sparkling.
The next second, she seemed to have thought of something and said in a soft voice, "Dad, let me show you something first."
Opening her backpack, Ning Xi took out the annotations Ye Fan had written for her.
"This is..."
Taking the scratch paper, a hint of confusion appeared on Ning Xiangtian's face.
However, as time passed, confusion gradually turned into surprise.
He was truly amazed!
At first glance, these annotations might not seem like much, but upon closer inspection, one could discover their ingenuity.
The basic formulas were simple, the steps were clear, and the reasoning was easy to understand, making it easy for anyone to comprehend.
As a top student from Tsinghua University, Ning Xiangtian immediately recognized the essence of these annotations.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!
An ordinary teacher could never possess such a level of skill.
Not even the teachers at Zhenhua High School, a key high school, could!!!
Moreover, he also noticed something else.
The annotations on the physics test paper from the other day and the current annotations were written in the same style.
Having achieved his current success, Ning Xiangtian was naturally not an ordinary person. His eyes flashed with brilliance.
After a long silence, he slowly said, "Xiao Xi, are you hiding something from Dad?"
"Yes."
Ning Xi nodded, admitting it frankly.
"..."
Huh? This—
She admitted it too readily, didn't she?
Why wasn't she playing by the rules???
Ning Xiangtian was dumbfounded. The words he had carefully prepared were completely useless at this moment.
"Um..."
"Xiao Xi, what are you hiding from Dad?"
"I won't tell you."
"..."
Seeing her father's speechless expression, Ning Xi smiled gently and said, "Dad, just don't ask. I can't tell you yet. After the college entrance exam, I'll tell you everything, okay?"
As she spoke, she hugged Ning Xiangtian's arm and shook it gently.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Ning Xiangtian couldn't resist his daughter's coquettishness...
"I won't ask anymore, alright?"
Seeing her father agree, Ning Xi smiled sweetly and pointed at the annotations in his hand. "Dad, what do you think of these annotations?"
"Good!"
"Hmm?"
"Very good!"
"Hmm?"
"Excellent!!!"
Ning Xi blinked her eyes, her face full of surprise. "That's all?"
Ning Xiangtian smiled wryly and explained, "I can't write annotations of this level. Its essence lies in the clarity and simplicity of all the steps, making it easy to understand."
"You haven't read them yet, have you?"
"No."
Ning Xi shook her head.
"You'll understand after you read them."
Ning Xiangtian silently put away the notebook. After a busy day, he suddenly realized that he couldn't actually help his daughter much, and he felt a bit disappointed. He changed the subject, "Xiao Xi, let's go upstairs for dinner."
"Okay."
Ning Xi pursed her lips slightly and snatched the notebook, a charming smile on her face.
"Thank you for the gift, Dad. One question a day, that's what you said, you can't go back on your word."
"No problem!"
Ning Xiangtian's lips moved slightly, the love in his eyes deepening.
...
The morning sun slowly rose, marking the beginning of a new day.
In the classroom of Class 2, Science Stream, the sounds of discussion rose and fell, creating a lively atmosphere.
"I'm so excited!"
"What's there to be excited about? We still can't beat Class 1, what a disgrace!"
"Don't be so defeatist, anything is possible before the results are out."
...
As usual, Ye Fan entered the classroom just as the bell was about to ring. As soon as he sat down, something was placed in his hand.
A small white lunchbox containing a few delicately made red bean cakes.
"Thank you for tutoring me, this is a token of my appreciation."
Ning Xi lowered her head, a faint blush on her fair face, her eyes as pure and beautiful as crystal.
"You made these?"
Looking at the red bean cakes in the lunchbox, a hint of joy flashed across Ye Fan's eyes.
Judging from Ning Xi's actions, she seemed to have let down her guard against him.
Otherwise, with her personality, she would never do such a thing.
This step forward in their relationship made Ye Fan very happy.
Ning Xi mumbled, "Sort of..."
Although the red bean cakes were made by Aunt Wang, she was the one who put them in the lunchbox, so they could be considered as made by her, right?
Yeah... they counted!
Ye Fan didn't ask any further questions. His gaze lingered on the lunchbox, his eyes filled with deep affection.
This was the first time Ning Xi had given him something, and it was incredibly meaningful.
"Um..."
After hesitating for a moment, Ning Xi asked, "What do you think of the difficulty of this monthly exam?"
"What do you think?"
Ye Fan smiled and asked back.
Ning Xi thought for a moment and said seriously, "The other subjects were alright, but I found the math test paper very difficult, especially the last problem. I think I'll lose all 12 points for it."
What a pity...
