In the classroom.
Ye Fan's expression was calm and serious.
An aura of "stay away" emanated from him, making many girls' eyes sparkle.
Ning Xi turned her head to look at Ye Fan behind her, her baby-faced face full of bewilderment.
No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like Ye Fan was standing up for her.
But why would he do that?
They had just met, so why would he stand up for her?
Could it be...
Ugh—
Ning Xi, what were you thinking about?!
It should be, probably, maybe... just a coincidence.
Yes, it must be!
Many thoughts flashed through the girl's mind, and a rare blush appeared on her pretty face, making her even more beautiful.
On the podium.
Qi Wenjue's hand, which was holding the thermos, froze in mid-air.
Did he mark the decimal point wrong?
He froze for two seconds, then turned to look at the blackboard. When his gaze landed on the position Ye Fan mentioned, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Fortunately, he was facing away from the students at this time, so no one noticed his abnormality.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, picked up a piece of chalk, moved the decimal point one place to the right, turned around, and said nonchalantly, "It was the teacher's negligence. Ye Fan has very good observation skills."
Ye Fan sat down, a playful smile on his face.
"Teacher, I personally think that this physics question is too advanced. It's too difficult for senior high school students. Even in the college entrance examinations over the years, there has never been a question of this difficulty."
He spoke eloquently, his calm tone laced with an innate confidence. "Therefore, whether we learn this question or not is not very important for the college entrance examination."
"Teacher, what do you think?"
"I..."
Meeting the young man's serious gaze, Qi Wenjue felt inexplicably guilty.
"Cough—"
"What Ye Fan said makes sense. It was the teacher's carelessness."
He cleared his throat. "Regarding this question, I will confirm it with the teacher who set the paper."
"Okay, let's leave it at that. Now everyone, study on your own."
After saying that, Qi Wenjue turned and walked out of the classroom, his back revealing a hint of embarrassment.
He was the one who set this test paper...
As soon as Qi Wenjue left, a burst of discussion broke out in the classroom.
"Damn, this new guy is pretty good, isn't he?"
"More than that, he's amazing!"
"That's right if he hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have noticed that Mr. Qi marked the decimal point wrong."
In Class 2, the top few students in the front row gathered together, discussing and glancing in Ye Fan's direction from time to time.
The girls were even more so.
"He's so handsome..."
"He's ridiculously handsome, isn't he?!"
"He's not only handsome, but he also has a strong aura, and he's even so good at physics. Perfect!!!"
"What are you girls thinking about? We're in our senior year now, and the college entrance examination is coming soon. Studying is the most important thing. When we get into university, you can date whoever you want."
"That's what amateurs would say. Don't you know the principle of striking first? By the time we get into university, all the good guys will have been snatched up, and you won't even get a taste of the soup!"
"..."
Luo Yumeng turned her head, raised her eyebrows, and teased, "You're quite popular, aren't you? Look at how mesmerized those girls are. You have to take responsibility."
Ye Fan was unmoved and smiled calmly. "It's nothing, I'm used to it."
In his previous life, when he was in high school, he was voted the school hunk by a group of girls with too much time on their hands. He received many love letters every day, and some bolder girls even confessed their feelings to him in public.
So, he was used to it.
Luo Yumeng: "..."
Used to it?
This...
She suddenly felt that Ye Fan and Ning Xi were very similar.
Their conversation skills, which left others speechless, were simply too similar!
She nudged Ning Xi with her elbow. "Xiao Xi, we have such a handsome guy sitting behind us, yet you're still in the mood to study?"
"Stop it."
Luo Yumeng: "..."
Still these two words.
Ning Xi's clear eyes were filled with seriousness.
She pointed at the physics test paper in front of her and said, "Yumeng, just let me study. I'm busy."
"Okay, okay, Your Highness Xiao Xi, please study hard. I'll shut up now."
Luo Yumeng sighed helplessly, took out a romance novel from her desk, and started reading with relish.
Old Man Qi wasn't even here, and she was still doing practice problems?
Unless... she was crazy!
Wasn't it more enjoyable to look at the handsome guy... no, to read a novel?
Hearing Luo Yumeng's words, Ning Xi's eyes lit up with a smile, the corners of her mouth curving into a perfect crescent moon.
But soon, the smile disappeared, and her usual cold demeanor returned.
Ye Fan saw the change in the girl's expression and laughed inwardly.
This girl, why was she still like this...
She was a cute and silly girl at heart, yet she insisted on acting aloof and distant.
Ning Xi lowered her head and looked at her notebook intently.
She only understood a small part of Ye Fan's problem-solving steps just now, and most of them were still a blur to her.
She wanted to ask Ye Fan for advice, but she felt that it would be too abrupt, after all, they had just met.
After hesitating for a moment, the girl could only suppress this thought.
But it was really difficult...
After working on it for a few minutes, Ning Xi put down her pen, scratched her hair, and felt troubled.
Ye Fan rested his chin on his hand, a smile on his lips.
Knowing Ning Xi as he did, he knew that this girl would definitely ask him for advice.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry at all and waited patiently for the fish to take the bait.
"Um..."
Ning Xi took a deep breath, turned around, lowered her head, and said in a soft voice, "Ye Fan, can I have a moment of your time?"
Ye Fan nodded and asked, "Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"
"I..."
Hearing Ye Fan address her like that, Ning Xi couldn't help but blush.
Her cold demeanor was instantly shattered...
She secretly glanced at Luo Yumeng and found that her deskmate was focused on her novel. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The girl suppressed her shyness and said softly, "Ye Fan, you can just call me Ning Xi. We..."
Ye Fan chuckled inwardly. He naturally knew what was going on in the girl's mind at this moment.
He smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Xi."
"..."
Ning Xi opened her mouth but decided to get down to business first. "Ye Fan, can you explain this physics question on the blackboard to me? I don't quite understand your thought process."
"Of course."
Ye Fan nodded without hesitation. For Ning Xi, there was no such word as "no" in his dictionary.
He looked up at the clock on the classroom wall and moved his lips slightly. "Class is about to end. The next class is PE. I heard that we don't have to attend PE class at Zhenhua High School?"
Ning Xi was stunned, her eyes full of surprise.
"You... just transferred to Zhenhua High School, how do you know that the next class is PE?"
Ye Fan raised his right hand and pointed to the door. "Look, there's a timetable on the wall by the door."
The girl blushed and hurriedly lowered her head.
Ning Xi, what were you thinking?!
To ask such a stupid question, was so embarrassing!
"Xiao Xi, why are you so easily embarrassed?"
Ye Fan chuckled softly and leaned forward slightly. Their faces were no more than ten centimeters apart.
Usually, at this distance, they were either about to kiss or... kiss.
Smelling the girl's fragrance, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his voice low and husky. "But, Xiao Xi, you look pretty and cute when you blush."
