After a while.
Ning Xi abruptly pulled out her hand and fled from the study as if escaping.
"I, I'm going to the bathroom..."
Watching the girl's retreating figure, Ye Fan's lips curled into a smile, his eyes filled with tenderness.
He was certain that he had left a deep impression on the girl's heart. Although he didn't know how far they were from confirming their relationship, he could already see a glimr of hope.
These thoughts quickly crossed Ye Fan's mind. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and suppressed the many thoughts, picked up a pen and paper, and carefully examined the results of the tutoring just now.
It was almost twenty minutes before Ning Xi ca back, with a faint blush on her cheeks. She stood at the door and didn't co in, but raised her hand and knocked on the door fra. She lowered her head and said softly: "Ye Fan, it's almost ti for dinner, let's go to the dining room first."
Hearing the sound, Ye Fan raised his head, took in Ning Xi's expression and actions, and put down his pen.
He got up and ca to the door, wanting to tease the girl, and asked softly: "Miss Ning, after dinner, have you figured out where to take to buy review materials?"
He bit the words 'review materials' very hard.
As expected, Ning Xi's face instantly turned red, she turned her head shyly, her tone revealing guilt.
"Who wants to take you to buy review materials? No way!"
"My review materials are piled up like a mountain!!!"
"But..."
A smile flashed across Ye Fan's eyes, but his face was full of innocence. He raised his hand and scratched his head, pretending to be puzzled: "Didn't Sister Lan say that she wanted to buy review materials?"
"..."
Ning Xi stomped her feet, and denied in a low voice, "That was my mother's misunderstanding, how could it be to buy review materials, it was clearly..."
Speaking of this, her voice trailed off.
"Clearly what?" Ye Fan asked.
"You..."
Ning Xi raised her pretty face, and when she noticed the teasing in Ye Fan's eyes, she raised her hand and hit him, angrily saying: "What are we going to do this afternoon, don't you know?"
"I can tell, you're doing it on purpose! Is it fun?!"
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Ye Fan chuckled.
"What do you think?"
"Fun."
"..."
Ning Xi's chest heaved violently, she hugged Ye Fan's arm and took a bite. Although she was angry, she didn't bite hard. She had blad herself for a long ti for biting Ye Fan last ti.
"If you tease again, I... I'll bite you to death!"
"Wrong."
Ye Fan looked at the wet marks left on his sleeves, his eyes narrowed, he raised his hand touched Ning Xi's hair, and said with a smile: "I was just kidding, why take it to heart?"
"Humph!"
Ning Xi turned her head away, ignoring Ye Fan.
Ye Fan held her shoulders, turned her around, pushed her towards the dining room, leaned forward slightly, approached her ear, and asked as he walked, "Xiao Xi, where are we going this afternoon, any plans?"
"You, you pay attention!"
Ning Xi's delicate body flashed, she shook off the two big hands on her shoulders, looked nervously at the corner of the corridor, turned her head, and reminded: "This is my ho, if my father sees it, you will be dead!"
"Uncle seems to be very hostile to ?" Ye Fan asked calmly.
Hearing this, Ning Xi stopped, and turned around, with a hint of apology on her pretty face.
"Ye Fan, don't take it to heart, my father is like this, he is not targeting you."
"Since I was a child, my father has never liked any boys who appear around , and I don't know what thod he used, those boys always transfer schools for no reason, it's too much!"
As she spoke, a look of resentnt appeared on her face.
"Haha..."
Ye Fan couldn't help laughing and gave a thumbs up to his future father-in-law in his heart.
Well done!!!
"Funny?"
Ning Xi's eyes flashed with helplessness, with the look of a little daughter, she said angrily: "I'm not kidding, can you be serious?"
Ye Fan quickly stopped laughing and said: "Xiao Xi your uncle did this to protect you. After all, a girl like you must have been beautiful since she was a child, and there must be no shortage of boys coveting you."
"Nonsense!"
Ning Xi gave Ye Fan a blank look, turned around, and walked towards the dining room, dimples appeared on her cheeks.
What normal girl doesn't like to be praised?
She is no exception!
Moreover, when Ye Fan praised her, she always felt a special feeling...
Ye Fan stepped up to follow. The speed of his and Ning Xi's current developnt had far exceeded his initial expectations.
Very good~~~
"Uncle."
Coming to the dining room, Ye Fan took the initiative to sit beside Ning Xiangtian. Ning Xi was dumbfounded by this action, her eyes were full of nervousness.
Why did he take the initiative to move closer?
This...
After hesitating for a mont, she chose to sit on Ye Fan's right side and spoke to divert her father's attention.
"Dad, what's for lunch today?"
Ning Xiangtian glanced at Ye Fan, then his eyes fell on his daughter. Compared with the expressionless face towards Ye Fan, he had a smile on his face towards his daughter, and said, "Your mother ordered so steak outside, and she has already gone to get it. Eat more later."
"Okay."
Ning Xi smiled sweetly, then asked her father again: "Dad, didn't you say you were going to find a Go teacher? Have you found it?"
The best way to prevent Ye Fan from having friction with her father is to not give them a chance to chat!
Ning Xiangtian didn't know his daughter's little thoughts, when he heard her question, he frowned, "This... It's not settled yet, give Dad so more ti."
"What are you talking about?"
Just then, Lan Xi walked in carrying a lunch box.
Ye Fan quickly got up and took the lunch box, with a humble smile on his face, "Sister Lan, give it to ."
"En."
Lan Xi didn't refuse, ca to her husband and sat down, raised her willow eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What were you talking about with Xiao Xi just now?"
"Talking about Go teachers."
Ning Xiangtian sighed and said to his wife, "I asked soone to look for Teacher Gu again this morning, but I heard that Teacher Gu seems to be in bad health recently and had a minor operation, so it's probably hopeless."
"So that's how it is."
Lan Xi nodded slightly, thought for a while, and suggested: "Whether Teacher Gu is willing to accept Xiao Xi as his apprentice or not, since we know about this, let Zhuang Li prepare so gifts and send them to Teacher Gu's house. Courtesy cannot be neglected."
"En, you can arrange it."
Ning Xiangtian had no objection to his wife's words and nodded in agreent.
Ning Xi was confused, with curiosity on her pretty face, she blinked at her mother, "Mom, who is the Teacher Gu you are talking about?"
"Think about it."
Lan Xi didn't say it directly but reminded: "Your father will naturally look for the best Go teacher for you. How many famous Go players are surnad Gu?"
Ning Xi's eyes rolled, and soon, she had a guess in her heart, and asked tentatively: "Could it be... Teacher Gu Yun?"
Gu Yun, 9-dan in Go, one of the only two 9-dan players in Xia Country today, ranked third in the world.
When Ning Xi was learning Go, many of the instruction books she read contained Gu Yun's ga records, but because of her average level, she didn't learn much from them.
Later, I heard a lot about Gu Yun when I was playing Go online.
Therefore, hearing her mother's words, Ning Xi imdiately thought of this Go master. To be honest, she was quite surprised. She thought her father was just talking casually, but she didn't expect him to have this idea.
And, the goal is actually Gu Yun 9-dan, who is legendary in the Go world.
Ye Fan, who was busy, stopped his movents when he heard the na Gu Yun, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Gu Yun?
The old man he rescued on the side of the road on the morning of the mock test seed to be called Gu Yun too, could it be the sa person, it couldn't be such a coincidence.
It should... just be the sa na!
Ye Fan suppressed the doubts in his heart and put the packed steaks into the dinner plates one by one.
Lan Xi smiled, nodded, and said, "That's right, the Teacher Gu your father and I were talking about is Gu Yun 9-dan. Your father decided on the teacher candidate, but Teacher Gu doesn't seem to be interested in accepting apprentices. For this reason, your father has been frustrated ti and ti again."
As she spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Ning Xiangtian couldn't hold back his face, he cast a dissatisfied look at his wife, then smiled and explained to his daughter: "Xiao Xi, don't listen to your mother's nonsense, what do you an being frustrated? Nothing of the sort!"
"If Gu Yun 9-dan doesn't agree, there is still Guo Yuan 9-dan; don't worry, Dad will definitely find you the best Go teacher, and I will definitely train my daughter to be the best female Go player in Xia Country."
"Thank you, Dad."
Ning Xi clenched her small hands lightly, her fair little face was full of firmness, "I will definitely work hard and will not let you down!"
Ning Xiangtian laughed heartily. This was the first ti he saw his daughter take Go so seriously. She used to be more or less perfunctory, but this ti it seed a little different.
At this ti, he originally wanted to touch his daughter's little head, but unfortunately, there was a seat in the middle, so he imdiately turned his gaze to Ye Fan, with a strong dissatisfaction in it.
Ye Fan could only pretend not to see it.
He didn't do anything, why was he looking at him like that?
What an injustice!!!
Ning Xiangtian withdrew his gaze, beckoned to his daughter, and said, "Xiao Xi, co and sit beside ."
"Okay."
This suggestion was exactly what Ning Xi wanted. She wished she could stay away from her father, otherwise, she would be too worried. Without hesitation, she took Ye Fan's seat and smiled at her father obediently.
"Ahem—"
Ye Fan shook his head helplessly, after putting the steak on the plate, he coughed, and imdiately attracted the attention of the three of them, he smiled slightly and said: "Uncle, Sister Lan; you guys talk first, I suddenly rembered sothing, I'm going out to make a phone call."
"Go, we'll have dinner when you get back." Lan Xi nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, Sister Lan."
Ye Fan nodded, feeling Ning Xi's puzzled gaze, but he didn't explain and stepped out of the dining room.
Turning left and walking more than ten ters, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found the number he had blacklisted last night, removed the blacklist, hesitated for a mont, and finally dialed it.
"Beep...beep beep..."
