"Hmph!" Deng Yu sneered.
He was overjoyed to see Ye Fan embarrassed.
Zhao Wenhao shared the same thought.
Both he and Deng Yu disliked Ye Fan. Ye Fan was getting too close to Ning Xi.
Moreover, Ning Xi's attitude towards Ye Fan seemed different compared to other boys.
Although they couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different, this feeling was real.
Both of them felt a sense of crisis.
In the classroom, dozens of eyes were fixed on Ye Fan.
If it were an ordinary student, they would probably be so nervous that they couldn't even speak.
On the other hand, Ye Fan was calm and collected, his expression revealing nothing.
Glancing at the four large characters on the blackboard, Ye Fan's thoughts raced, and corresponding knowledge points emerged in his mind.
His voice was calm and powerful, unconsciously making people listen attentively.
"Writing techniques are mainly divided into three aspects: conception, structure, and material."
"Let's talk about conception first. If the essay topic is given, you can directly conceive based on the keywords."
"If it's a material-based essay, you can interpret the examiner's intention from multiple angles, and then choose the most obvious angle to conceive. Don't overthink it, and don't try to cover every angle. Just use one sentence to express your conception."
"In terms of structure, you should outline the essay before you start writing, knowing roughly how many paragraphs it will have and what each paragraph will be about. For example, when writing an argumentative essay, the first paragraph states the thesis statement, the second paragraph provides modern examples as evidence, and the third paragraph follows the same format of evidence + argumentation."
"You can use ancient examples, and the fourth paragraph can use foreign examples as evidence. Finally, the last paragraph summarizes the whole essay. For narrative essays, you can write according to the order of time or the development of events..."
...
Ye Fan spoke eloquently for nearly ten minutes, still feeling a little unfinished when he finished.
Everyone stared at Ye Fan in dumbfounded silence, their mouths slightly agape, their faces full of disbelief.
He could do that???
They were sure that Ye Fan hadn't been paying attention just now, but he could just speak off the cuff?!
He was a little... awesome!
Ning Xi, sitting next to Ye Fan, was incredibly surprised.
He was so amazing...
Ugh!
How could she have such thoughts?
No, no; Ning Xi, wake up, don't be fooled by this guy's looks and talent, he's a player...
"Very well said."
Led by Li Wenqing, a round of applause erupted in the classroom.
Deng Yu and Zhao Wenhao both had expressions as if they had just eaten something disgusting. Neither of them expected Ye Fan to actually be able to answer.
Hadn't he been not paying attention just now?
It was unbelievable!
Li Wenqing gestured for Ye Fan to sit down and praised him generously. "What Ye Fan just said are all very good writing techniques. Everyone should learn from him in this regard. Alright, let's move on..."
...
"Ring!"
The bell rang for the end of class.
As Ning Xi stood up, Ye Fan grabbed her hand.
Coincidentally, he happened to grab her soft and delicate hand.
"You..."
"Let go!"
Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled her hand away as if she had been electrocuted.
Her fair and flawless face was full of coldness.
However, her delicate features couldn't form a threatening expression, instead, she looked particularly cute and charming.
"Ahem..."
Seeing that the situation was getting awkward, Ye Fan spread his hands innocently and explained, "Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to give you the physics test paper."
As he spoke, he placed the graded test paper in front of Ning Xi.
"I've marked the mistakes you made. You can take a look when you have time, it should be helpful."
Ning Xi looked at Ye Fan, then at the test paper, the coldness in her eyes softening a little.
"Thank you, you don't have to go through so much trouble in the future."
"It's no trouble, I can give you..."
As soon as he spoke, Ye Fan realized something was wrong and quickly changed his words.
"As classmates, we should help each other, especially since we're deskmates now."
Ning Xi didn't say a word and moved her stool to leave.
Ye Fan blocked the space behind her with his hand and asked tentatively, "Xiao... Ning Xi, did I say something wrong?"
"Move, I need to go out."
"What are you going out for?"
Ning Xi: "..."
She needed to go to the toilet!!!
But...
How could she tell Ye Fan that...
"I... I'm not feeling well."
After saying that, she turned her head to the side, her soft voice carrying a hint of embarrassment.
"Can you move now?"
Ye Fan: (⊙o⊙)…
Tsk tsk~~~
Love makes people do foolish things.
This saying was true.
After Ning Xi left the classroom, Ye Fan picked up a book of Olympiad math problems, wanting to take advantage of these few minutes to gain some experience points.
Before he could start reading, he heard a voice in front of him.
"Oh, you're dedicated, huh?"
Deng Yu sneered. He knocked on the desk with his right hand, looking down at Ye Fan. "Ye Fan, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
His voice was loud, attracting the attention of many students.
Ye Fan put down the Olympiad math problem book and looked at Deng Yu lazily. "Why should I bet with you? Gambling is illegal. You're already in your senior year, don't you even know that?"
Deng Yu: "..."
This nonchalant attitude was the most infuriating!
It made him feel like he was punching cotton.
"You're scared before I even tell you the bet?"
Deng Yu's face was full of disdain. He said loudly, "Are you a man? If you are, then bet with me!"
"Sorry."
Ye Fan didn't get angry. He said slowly, "I'm just a boy, not a man yet. Unless..."
As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Deng Yu, a knowing look on his face.
"Ohhh~~~"
Many boys let out meaningful whistles.
"You..."
Deng Yu's face flushed red.
The corners of Ye Fan's mouth curled up slightly. He ignored Deng Yu and started flipping through the Olympiad math problem book.
Deng Yu didn't want to leave like this. He snatched the book from Ye Fan's hand and said, "Let's compare our scores in the monthly exam. Whoever gets the higher score will be the other's big brother."
"From now on, no matter the occasion, we have to call each other 'big brother' when we see each other. Do you dare to bet?"
Ye Fan looked at Deng Yu helplessly. To be honest, he didn't want to stoop to the level of this little kid.
But Deng Yu's persistence was making him very unhappy.
He wasn't bothering him, so why was Deng Yu bothering him?
What was wrong with him?
"What are you good at?"
"Huh?"
Deng Yu was dumbfounded by Ye Fan's sudden question.
Ye Fan scratched his ear and smiled. "I can't just accept a little brother who can't do anything, can I?"
Deng Yu: "..."
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!!!
Damn it...
He used to be the arrogant one, so why were the roles reversed when it came to Ye Fan?
This was unbearable!
"That's too arrogant! Deng Yu's dad's company is worth hundreds of millions, and he's saying that such a little brother is useless. Huh!"
"The key is, he's acting like he's already won. I really can't stand people like that."
"What do you boys know? This is called confidence!"
"Tsk~"
"Wow, the more I look at Ye Fan, the more handsome I find him..."
...
Seeing that class was about to start, Deng Yu lost his patience completely. He said with a cold face, "Do you dare to bet or not?"
"Seeing how eager you are to be my little brother, I'll give you a chance."
"It's a deal!"
Seeing Ye Fan agree, Deng Yu dropped those four words and turned to leave.
Ye Fan shook his head and picked up the Olympiad math problem book.
He might as well bet, he wouldn't lose anyway.
Comparing their monthly exam scores?
Heh—
Deng Yu probably didn't know that the first place in this monthly exam already belonged to him...
