Chapter 75 Am I bad?
In the cafeteria.
A few women in their forties were sitting at the first dining table, picking vegetables and chatting. Their faces were beaming with gossipy smiles.
A man and a woman were sitting at a table a few dozen meters away.
This scene was very harmonious.
"Look at that young couple over there. Don't they look very compatible?"
"The girl is so fair and tender, she's really pretty. The boy is not bad either. They do look very compatible."
"Sigh, my son is about the same age as that boy. Look at them, they've already started courting. My son only knows how to play games all day long..."
...
Their voices weren't soft.
Every single word they said reached Ning Xi's ears. A faint blush crept up her fair cheeks, making her look extremely alluring.
She and Ye Fan were just classmates and friends, so how did they get involved with 'compatible'?
Also, what did they mean by 'courting'?
These aunties really... had no filter!
"Don't overthink it. Aunties at this age like to gossip. Focus on the questions."
Just as Ning Xi was letting her imagination run wild, Ye Fan's voice rang out. His low voice was extremely gentle. He pointed his left index finger at the second-to-last math question on the test paper. "How do you solve this step?"
"... I, I don't know."
Ning Xi bit her red lips lightly and blinked her eyes guiltily.
Ye Fan's eyes were filled with love. He moved his slender left fingers slightly and raised his hand to tuck a few strands of hair behind her right ear. His actions were extremely gentle as if he was treating a priceless treasure.
In fact, Ning Xi was indeed his priceless treasure.
Ning Xi's delicate body stiffened, and her pretty face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her eyes were filled with panic, and she tilted her head slightly, dodging Ye Fan's hand. "I, I'll do it myself... it's fine."
The corners of Ye Fan's lips curled up slightly.
This girl was too easily shy.
He would take it slowly—
"Listen carefully. For this question, we need to first set up the equation of the hyperbola..."
Ning Xi's face was burning. She forced herself to calm down and listened attentively to Ye Fan's explanation.
She chose to temporarily forget about what had just happened.
Right now, tutoring is the most important!
Ye Fan spoke for a full ten minutes. He explained the entire thought process of solving the question, as well as the steps involved in each step and the reasons why he did it that way. He was extremely detailed.
"Do you understand now?"
"Yes, I understand."
Ning Xi's eyes lit up slightly. In her excitement, she grabbed Ye Fan's hand and said, "Quickly give me another similar math question. I'll try doing it."
Looking at the girl in front of him, and then at her small hand, Ye Fan had a playful look on his face.
He moved his left hand slightly and couldn't help but pinch it.
Soft, cool, and very comfortable.
"Ah?"
Only then did Ning Xi realize something was wrong. She hurriedly withdrew her hand and stared at Ye Fan with shy and angry eyes. "Wh, what are you doing?"
"Me?"
Ye Fan raised his hand and pointed at his nose, smiling faintly. "I didn't do anything."
"You were the one who grabbed my hand first. It's not a good habit to make false accusations."
"..."
Ning Xi's clear eyes widened, and her red lips parted slightly.
She, made a false accusation?
What was he talking about?
This person was too much, clearly...
Huh?
It seemed like she was indeed the one who grabbed Ye Fan's hand first...
Hallucination!
Yes, all of this was a hallucination!!!
"Alright, it's not a big deal."
Ye Fan raised his hand and shook it in front of Ning Xi's eyes, smiling. "We're good friends, so what's wrong with holding hands? Besides, it's not like we haven't held hands before. Don't worry, I don't have any improper thoughts about you."
"Not yet!"
He silently added the last two words to his heart.
"Am I that bad?"
Ning Xi had already convinced herself not to dwell on such an embarrassing matter, but after hearing Ye Fan's words, she felt inexplicably unconvinced.
What did he mean by 'don't have any improper thoughts about you'?
Was she that bad?!
She had clearly worked so hard, so what was wrong with her...
"Of course not."
Ye Fan said with a smile, "Xiao Xi, you're excellent, how could you be bad?"
Ning Xi pursed her red lips and said softly, "Do you like girls like Su Qiaoyu?"
"No."
This tutoring session had unknowingly gone astray, but Ye Fan had no intention of changing course.
This was good!
"Then why don't you have any improper thoughts about me? Is it because I'm not pretty?"
As soon as Ning Xi spoke, she was dumbfounded. She had spoken without thinking. These words had not gone through her brain at all. After she came back to her senses, she realized what she had just said.
It was over!
Ning Xi, how could you say such a thing?
How embarrassing!!!
The smile on Ye Fan's face deepened. "You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen, bar none!"
His straightforward words left Ning Xi at a loss for words. She clutched her clothes tightly with her fair hands. Due to her nervousness, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her fair forehead.
"I..."
"We don't have much time left. Come on, let me explain the last question to you."
Staring at Ye Fan's side profile, Ning Xi's heart was in a mess.
Now, she was completely confused by Ye Fan.
He praised her for being pretty, but he also said that he didn't have any improper thoughts about her. What did he mean?
As she was thinking, someone suddenly patted her head. She looked up and met Ye Fan's deep gaze.
"You, you can't..."
"Listen to the question."
"...Oh."
The tutoring session continued until noon.
As the bell rang, Ye Fan packed all the test papers and ballpoint pens on the table to the side.
"Sit tight, I'll go get our food."
"Here's my... meal card."
Ning Xi took out her meal card and handed it to Ye Fan.
"Okay."
Ye Fan glanced at the girl and didn't refuse. He silently took the meal card.
It was one thing to take it, but it was another thing to use it.
At this moment, there was no one else in the cafeteria except for Ye Fan and Ning Xi.
In less than two minutes, Ye Fan returned with a plate of food.
"Eat more. Do your best this afternoon."
"Yes!"
Ning Xi nodded her head vigorously, but when she saw the dishes on her plate, surprise flashed across her eyes.
Fish-flavored shredded pork, stir-fried eggplant with garlic sauce, sweet and sour spareribs...
They were all her favorite dishes.
But how did Ye Fan know?
Coincidence, this must be a coincidence!
…
"Knock, knock—"
"Come in."
In the office, a girl was sitting beside Lin Dejiang. There were a few lunchboxes on the desk, emitting an alluring fragrance.
When Ye Fan saw the girl, his eyes flickered.
He recognized this girl. She was the... road killer who almost hit him that day!
Ning Xi stood beside Ye Fan and nodded politely at Lin Dejiang. "Teacher, am I too early?"
"Not at all, have a seat first."
Lin Dejiang put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, a kind smile on his face. "The exam will begin when Su Qiaoyu arrives."
"Alright, teacher."
Ning Xi responded and walked to the side of the wall to sit down, looking very ladylike.
When Lin Ruoyu saw Ning Xi, her eyes were filled with surprise.
Her skin was as fair as snow, her features were delicate, and her long hair cascaded down her waist. In particular, the pure aura around her made people feel ashamed of their inferiority and didn't dare to blaspheme.
So beautiful!
There was actually such a beautiful girl in this school.
However, when she saw Ye Fan, her face was instantly filled with anger.
Why was it this annoying guy again?
Because of the previous incident, her grandfather had warned her not to touch a car for a year. She was so angry that she could eat Ye Fan alive.
She had her driver's license and her car...
But she couldn't drive!
And all of this was because of Ye Fan!!!
Ye Fan didn't react at all to Lin Ruoyu's gaze. He sat beside Ning Xi, leisurely crossing his legs.
Seeing that Ye Fan was ignoring her, Lin Ruoyu became even angrier. She gripped the chopsticks tightly in her right hand, her grip getting stronger and stronger.
"Crack—"
A clear sound rang out as the chopsticks snapped.
Ning Xi was stunned, her eyes wide with surprise.
As for Ye Fan, he was speechless.
Was it necessary?
If Lin Ruoyu knew what Ye Fan was thinking at this moment, she would definitely say, "Yes, it's necessary!"
"Cough—"
Lin Dejiang glanced at her and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Eat your food properly!"
With that, he looked up and smiled apologetically. He introduced, "Ye Fan, this is my granddaughter, Lin Ruoyu. I'm really sorry about what happened last time. Is the injury on your arm alright?"
"It's healed, thank you for your concern, teacher." Ye Fan nodded, his expression indifferent.
"You're Ye Fan, right?"
Lin Ruoyu stared at Ye Fan indignantly. "I admit that I was mainly responsible for what happened last time, but you can't escape responsibility either. Why did you..."
"Yes, you're right." Ye Fan interrupted.
"..."
Lin Ruoyu's face turned red with anger. If her grandfather wasn't here, she would let Ye Fan have a taste of her sixth-degree black belt!
Ning Xi tugged at Ye Fan's sleeve and asked softly, "You know this older sister?"
"Yes."
Ye Fan nodded. "Let me introduce you. Her name is Road Killer."
