"Ye Fan, please be kind!"
Upon hearing these provocative words, Luo Yung and Su Ke spoke simultaneously. Not only were their words identical, but their expressions were also exactly the sa.
In one phrase: they were so angry they could grind their teeth in frustration!
Faced with the two girls glaring at him, Ye Fan's expression remained calm. He said, "Am I wrong?"
"..."
"..."
These words left the two girls deeply frustrated.
It seed he was actually... right.
Ouch, that stings!
Ning Xi lowered her head and thought for a mont before realizing the problem in her earlier words. She couldn't help but smile apologetically.
"Um... I didn't an it like that. Let's eat, let's eat. Everyone, cheer up, okay?"
Luo Yung pouted pitifully and said in a sorrowful tone, "Xiaoxi, you've changed. You're no longer the simple, sweet Xiaoxi you used to be. I'm heartbroken!"
"Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay?"
Ning Xi picked up a piece of braised pork from her plate and placed it into Luo Yung's bowl. In a pitiful tone, she said, "To express my apology, here's so compensation in at."
Luo Yung's expression turned strange as she remarked, "Xiaoxi, I think you might have misunderstood the aning of the phrase 'compensation in at.'"
"Did I?"
Ning Xi tilted her head in confusion.
"Ahem!"
Su Ke glared at Luo Yung and said, "The conversation is becoming less proper by the minute. Don't corrupt Xiaoxi. Now hurry up and eat!"
With that, she turned to Ning Xi, smiled, and shifted the topic. "Xiaoxi, tell honestly—are you planning to compete for a spot with extra credit for the college entrance exam?"
"Of course."
Ning Xi's radiant smile lit up her face as she nodded naturally. "If there's a chance for extra credit, why wouldn't I go for it?"
"Even if I don't succeed, I have to at least try. After all, one needs to have dreams. Otherwise, what's the difference between and a salted fish?"
"..."
Su Ke quietly shut her mouth.
This conversation couldn't continue anymore!
Because...
She was a salted fish!!!
While the three chatted, Ye Fan silently placed the braised pork from his plate into Ning Xi's bowl and continued eating.
Feelings were expressed in subtle gestures.
An hour quickly passed, and the afternoon exams began.
First ca the English exam, followed by the science comprehensive test.
Though Ye Fan and Ning Xi were not in the sa exam room, they shared a similar expression on their faces.
Confidence!
Ye Fan's confidence ca from his strength.
anwhile, Ning Xi's confidence ca from Ye Fan. Ye Fan said she was amazing, so she believed she was amazing.
"Ding ling—"
"Pens down and submit your papers!"
...
At the school gate.
Ye Fan stood under a willow tree, his gaze lingering on the main entrance, waiting for a certain figure.
Not long after, Ning Xi appeared, dressed in a light brown tracksuit. Her hair danced gently in the breeze behind her, making her the most eye-catching sight at the school gate—undoubtedly.
"Xiaoxi."
Ye Fan waved at Ning Xi, his eyes brimming with affection.
Seeing Ye Fan, Ning Xi took small steps toward him, her fair and delicate face beaming with a happy smile. "I feel like I perford really well today. It's all thanks to your tutoring. Thank you."
Ye Fan squinted slightly and asked, "Are you just going to thank verbally?"
"Then what?"
"By offering yourself to ."
"Ugh!"
Ning Xi lightly smacked Ye Fan's arm and scolded, "Be serious! Stop always trying to take advantage of ."
Ye Fan shalessly took her stationery bag from her hand and replied, "But I just want to take advantage of you. What should I do?"
"Have so cold salad!"
Fortunately, there weren't many people at the school gate right now. Ning Xi wasn't as shy as she usually was. She pushed Ye Fan toward a nearby alley and said, "Let's go, let's go. I want to drink so lemon water at your place."
"There's no lemon water left."
"Huh?"
"Just kidding."
"You liar! Stand still for !"
...
Under the setting sun, two figures chased each other, their shadows stretching long on the ground...
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
May 7th, a little past 8 PM.
Ye Fan sat at his desk as usual, reading a book. The vibration of his phone interrupted him, and he paused to pick it up. When he saw the avatar of Chibi Maruko-chan, a faint smile appeared on his face.
[Ye Fan, Ye Fan, tomorrow they're going to announce the results of the first national joint exam. Are you nervous?]
Seeing the ssage, Ye Fan could almost imagine the girl's nervous and expectant expression. Amused, he quickly typed his reply.
[Being nervous won't change the results, so you'd better go to sleep.]
[Sleep?]
Ning Xi's reply ca almost instantly, showing she'd been waiting by her phone.
Ye Fan chuckled softly and typed back.
[In dreams, you can have anything. It's much better than worrying.]
"Ding-dong."
Ning Xi's response was just one word.
[Scram!]
Ye Fan wouldn't let the conversation end there. He imdiately sent another ssage.
[Xiaoxi, it's been a while since we played chess. Want to play a round?]
[No way! I can't beat you. Losing really affects my mood, and I don't want to sleep in a bad mood.]
[It's fine. I'll give you a five-piece handicap and let you play black. No komi.]
[You said it! Let's play!]
...
The bedroom was dark, save for the faint glow from the desk lamp.
A young girl sat in front of the desk. A few strands of damp hair clung to her delicate cheeks, and her figure, wrapped in a nightgown, was partially visible in the soft light—a breathtaking temptation that stirred the imagination.
"You liar, such a big liar..."
Ning Xi stared at the screen, dazed. She kept mumbling under her breath.
Half an hour had passed since she started the ga with Ye Fan, and the match was nearing its end.
But to her frustration, based on the current board, she would lose by at least ten pieces.
Even with the five-piece handicap from Ye Fan, she would still lose...
Ughhhhh—
That damn Ye Fan, stupid Ye Fan!!!
Just as Ning Xi was about to surrender, the screen suddenly displayed a victory ssage.
[Your opponent has resigned. Congratulations on your win.]
"Huh?"
Ning Xi froze for two seconds before bursting into laughter. She murmured to herself, "At least you know what's good for you. Hmph!"
After turning off the computer, the girl stretched lazily. Her nightgown slipped slightly off her shoulders, revealing a patch of creamy skin. The smooth curve of her shoulder hinted at a mysterious allure.
Unfortunately, such a beautiful sight was soon concealed as the computer screen dimd, leaving the room in darkness.
The next morning.
At school, Ye Fan climbed up to the fourth floor and entered Class 2 of the science stream.
The school had decided to cancel the Qingda Prep Class after considering the tight schedule of the three national joint exams.
The students from the prep class were sent back to their original classes.
When Ye Fan heard this news yesterday, he had been sulking for quite a while.
The reason was simple.
In the prep class, he and Ning Xi sat in the back row. Aside from Su Ke in the front row, there was no one else nearby.
But in Class 2 of the science stream, even though they were still desk mates, there were people sitting in front of and behind them. They had to be cautious with their words and actions.
So annoying!
When he arrived at his seat, Ye Fan placed his bag down and noticed Ning Xi sneaking glances at him. Unbothered, he sat down, placed a carton of milk in front of her, and smiled. "I've already latched onto you. Don't hold back—if you want to look, look openly."
