"Ding dong—"
As the bell rang for the end of class, students scattered towards the cafeteria.
Ye Fan followed Ning Xi, watching her flowing hair swaying behind her. His lips moved slightly, "Girl, how much do you hate ponytails?"
In his previous life, he had only seen Ning Xi tie her hair in a ponytail once, and it was during the company's year-end cleaning when she was forced to do so because of the work.
Besides that one ti, in Ye Fan's mory, Ning Xi always had her long hair flowing freely.
Ning Xi's pace was slow. She knew Ye Fan was following her, and her face ward slightly.
Arriving at the cafeteria, she looked around and finally chose to queue at the window for Zha Jiang Mian (Noodles with soybean paste).
Ye Fan continued to follow, queuing behind her.
"Dude, let cut in line."
A boy who was about 1.7 ters tall walked over. He didn't even look at Ye Fan, his eyes fixed on Ning Xi in front, his gaze burning.
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and uttered two words calmly:
"No way."
Only then did the boy shift his gaze to Ye Fan, his tone unfriendly.
"Dude, it's just cutting in line, don't be so stingy. I'll pay for your lunch, how's that for being generous?"
"No way."
"..."
The boy's brow twitched. "Don't you know who I am?"
"Class 4, Liberal Arts Stream, Yang Xiaohao!"
"Dude, why don't you go ask around? No one in Zhenhua High School dares to disrespect , Yang Xiaohao. Get lost."
"No way."
Still, those two words were spoken with the sa calm tone.
Ye Fan's attitude angered Yang Xiaohao, and he threatened in a low voice, "Kid, don't push your luck. I advise you to be sensible."
His voice wasn't loud, but Ning Xi, standing in front, still heard him. She turned around, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust.
"Can't you just queue up?"
"..."
Yang Xiaohao's face flushed with embarrassnt. He was angry, but he didn't dare to lose his temper in front of Ning Xi.
"Of course, of course. I'll go queue up now."
Before leaving, he glared at Ye Fan coldly, his lips moving slightly. "Just you wait!"
Ye Fan smiled faintly, not taking Yang Xiaohao's threat to heart at all.
What era was this? He was still trying to use such a low-level pick-up tactic. What a hopeless case.
With that, he wanted to pursue his girl.
In his dreams!
Ning Xi blinked her eyes and said softly, "Ye Fan, don't mind him."
"Yeah."
Ye Fan nodded and asked with a smile, "Xiao Xi, do you know this Yang Xiaohao?"
"No, I don't."
Ning Xi shook her head, her brows furrowing slightly. "So ti ago, after school, he kept blocking at the school gate. But after Uncle Zhuang taught him a lesson, he's been much better."
"So that's how it is..."
Ye Fan's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "That won't happen again. If he dares to block you again, I'll beat him to a pulp."
"Pfft!"
Ning Xi's eyes curved into crescent moons as she moved slowly with the queue, her eyes sparkling with amusent.
"Fighting is wrong."
"It is wrong."
The corner of Ye Fan's mouth curved up, and he said calmly, "But there are exceptions."
Ning Xi didn't say anything more.
"Beep—"
"Two Zha Jiang Mian, please."
Ning Xi put away her al card and blinked at Ye Fan. "Let treat you to lunch."
"Thank you."
Ye Fan nodded.
As the saying goes, one doesn't bite the hand that feeds them.
But if the person feeding him was Ning Xi, there was no problem.
He simply had no option but to refuse when it ca to this girl.
They found a seat and sat down, neither of them picking up their chopsticks.
Ye Fan's clear gaze rested on the girl's face, his voice gentle. "What's the matter? Tell ."
"I..."
Ning Xi's eyes darted around, and she lowered her head slightly. "Do you... have anything to do next weekend?"
"Why, are you asking out for dinner?" Ye Fan asked lightly.
"H-how did you know?!"
Ning Xi's eyes widened, her face full of surprise.
"..."
Ye Fan's nose twitched.
To be honest, he was a little surprised himself. He had just said it casually, but he didn't expect to actually guess right.
This girl wanted to invite him to dinner.
This...
Didn't feel right!
No matter how he looked at it, it seed a bit abnormal.
"Why are you asking out for dinner all of a sudden?"
Ye Fan decided to ask first. This whole thing felt strange.
He knew Ning Xi's personality very well. She wouldn't take the initiative to ask a boy out for dinner.
Could it be...
Probably not!
He didn't think he was that charming. Ning Xi was not an ordinary girl, it was still too early to win her heart.
Ning Xi bit her lip and explained in a low voice, "After you tutored , my math and physics scores have improved a lot. I didn't tell my dad about it, but sohow he found out."
"Yesterday, he asked to invite you to our house next weekend for dinner. He said he wanted to thank you in person."
"This..."
Ye Fan hesitated.
He actually wanted to agree to Ning Xi's invitation. After all, this girl rarely took the initiative, such an opportunity might not co again in a lifeti.
But the problem was that he had to tutor Ning Xi next weekend.
At that ti, he would be her tutor, and now he had received this invitation.
How could he accept?
He couldn't possibly play two roles at the sa ti, could he?
"Ahem..."
Ye Fan was conflicted, but he maintained a calm deanor. "Do I have to go?"
Ning Xi bit her lip, her voice barely audible. "I... I want you to go..."
She knew her father very well. If Ye Fan didn't go, he would definitely look for him privately.
She clearly rembered the precedents from before. The outco for those boys was always the sa: they transferred schools!
She didn't want...
As soon as the thought surfaced, she dismissed it.
The girl didn't know that she was just deceiving herself.
"I'll go."
Ye Fan agreed without hesitation.
Now that Ning Xi had said that, the thought in his mind vanished instantly.
Anyway, his identity as a tutor wouldn't be kept a secret for long. It made no difference whether it was exposed sooner or later.
This would be a good opportunity to et Ning Xi's father.
"...Okay."
Seeing Ye Fan agree, Ning Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
She picked up her chopsticks and poked at her food absentmindedly, her mind preoccupied.
Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but remind her, "Eat properly, eat more. Look how thin you are, the wind could blow you away!"
"It's not that exaggerated."
Ning Xi shook her head and suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
She couldn't help but recall the scene of having dinner at Ye Fan's place, and a charming smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
Ye Fan inserted a straw into the yogurt and placed it in front of Ning Xi, his eyes full of love.
"Eat more, be good."
"..."
Ning Xi pursed her lips, her eyes flickering.
That feeling of being treated like a child by her father had returned...
It was... so strange!
"Is this seat taken?"
A harmonious scene was interrupted by the arrival of an uninvited guest.
Su Qiaoyu!
She sat down next to Ning Xi with a tray of food, a gentle smile on her face.
Compared to Ning Xi's conservative style of dressing, Su Qiaoyu's clothes were more feminine, and her temperant wasn't bad either. However, in terms of looks, she was slightly outmatched.
Ning Xi's delicate and beautiful features and fair skin were undeniably more attractive than Su Qiaoyu's.
"No... no one."
Ning Xi raised her face and replied softly.
Su Qiaoyu glanced at Ning Xi, then turned her gaze to Ye Fan opposite them, flashing him a charming smile. "Ye Fan, can I ask you a few math questions after we finish eating?"
She continued with a smile, "I've accumulated quite a few questions recently. I wanted to ask the teacher, but I thought they must be tired, so I thought of you."
"You're very good at math, you can definitely help clear up my doubts."
"I've seen you explaining math problems to Ning Xi a lot lately. We're classmates now, you can't favor her over ."
After saying that, she blinked at Ning Xi. "Ning Xi, you don't mind borrowing Ye Fan for a bit, do you?"
"I..."
Ning Xi's cheeks flushed slightly. "My math foundation isn't very good, so I often ask Ye Fan for help. Su Qiaoyu, if you have any questions, of course, you can ask Ye Fan for advice, he's always happy to help."
Hearing this, the smile on Su Qiaoyu's face widened, and she turned her gaze to Ye Fan, her intentions clear.
Ye Fan's expression remained unchanged. He inserted a straw into the unopened yogurt beside him and sipped leisurely. Soon, the small bottle of yogurt was finished.
Su Qiaoyu continued to stare at Ye Fan, and even Ning Xi was secretly looking at him.
Ye Fan's gaze remained steady, and he said nonchalantly, "Sorry, I still have to tutor Xiao Xi in other subjects. I don't have ti."
