"A contract?"
Ning Xiangtian was completely dumbfounded.
He had never imagined that Ye Fan would respond like this.
According to his expectations, shouldn't a kid of Ye Fan's age be full of arrogance?
He should have been eager to take on the challenge.
But...
This kid wasn't playing by the rules at all!
In the bedroom.
Everything was pink.
Pink decorations, pink wardrobe, pink carpet, and a pink girl.
Ning Xi sat in front of the computer, her chin resting on her hand, playing Go online.
However, she was clearly distracted, her wandering eyes betraying her thoughts.
This led to her losing the game, which she could have easily won. As time went on, she eventually lost the game.
As the word "Defeat" flashed on the computer screen, the girl closed the computer and muttered, "When will that guy arrive?"
"Knock, knock—"
A knock on the door sounded, and Lan Xi's voice came from outside, "Xiao Xi, are you awake?"
"Coming."
Ning Xi got up and opened the door.
"Creak—"
The bedroom door opened, and Ning Xi poked her head out, blinking at her mother. "Mom, what's up?"
Seeing her daughter's messy hair, Lan Xi pushed the door open and walked in. She gently brushed her daughter's hair and said softly, "Young ladies should pay attention to their appearance."
Ning Xi pouted and muttered, "But I'm at home."
Lan Xi smiled gently. "Go freshen up and change your clothes. Come downstairs when you're ready, the tutor I hired for you has arrived."
"So?"
Ning Xi looked helpless. She put her hands on her chest, acting cute and coquettishly. "Mom, can I talk to you about something?"
"What is it?"
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Lan Xi knew she didn't know the tutor was Ye Fan.
Ning Xi pursed her lips and said softly, "Can we cancel the tutoring? My classmate is helping me now, and my grades have improved significantly. I really don't need a tutor."
"Is this classmate you're talking about Ye Fan?" Lan Xi asked.
"H-how did you know..."
"It's a secret."
Looking at her surprised daughter, Lan Xi couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, go get ready. It's impolite to keep the teacher waiting for too long. I'll wait for you downstairs."
"Okay."
Ning Xi nodded helplessly and replied softly.
After her mother left, she sat down in front of the dressing table, combing her hair while muttering complaints, "Dad must have told her, how could he do this..."
The girl in the mirror had bright eyes and white teeth. Her pajamas outlined curves that didn't belong to someone her age, and her delicate collarbone peeked out from under her slender, fair neck. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
It was said that a true beauty was one whose head was never seen above her feet.
This seemed quite fitting for this girl.
Her beauty was as ethereal as a moon veiled by clouds, as graceful as snow dancing in the wind.
After combing her hair, Ning Xi got up and went to the wardrobe. She rummaged through her clothes and finally chose a plain white dress.
After changing, she left the bedroom and went downstairs.
In the living room.
Ning Xiangtian and Lan Xi were discussing something in low voices.
"No."
Lan Xi glared at her husband and whispered, "Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight?"
Ning Xiangtian smiled awkwardly. "No, absolutely not."
Lan Xi ignored her husband and turned to Ye Fan with a gentle smile. "Ye Fan, where are you from?"
"Linhai," Ye Fan replied quickly.
"That's quite far." Lan Xi continued, "Why did you come to Imperial Capital for school?"
Ye Fan's demeanor changed, a maturity beyond his years appearing on his face. He said slowly, "Because there's someone very important to me in Imperial Capital."
Lan Xi didn't ask any further questions.
She had a very good impression of Ye Fan. She said softly, "You're so young and already working as a tutor, are you in need of money?"
"Don't be shy, tell me about it, maybe I can help you."
"Ahem!"
Ning Xiangtian's face darkened.
"Thank you, Sister Lan."
Meeting Lan Xi's sincere gaze, Ye Fan felt a warmth in his heart. He smiled and explained, "It's nothing serious. I just really enjoy reading, and I read very quickly."
"And genuine books are quite expensive, so I thought I'd find a part-time job during my free time on weekends."
"Actually, when I first saw you last weekend, Sister Lan, I guessed your identity. You and Xiao Xi are both so beautiful and kind."
"You're such a smooth talker." Lan Xi chuckled. "It's good that you like reading. I have a lot of books at home, you can take any of them home to read slowly after your tutoring sessions every weekend."
"Really?" Ye Fan's eyes lit up.
Good fortune wasn't just falling from the sky, it was raining down on him.
Not only would he get paid for pursuing his wife, but his book-buying problem was also solved.
Happiness came so suddenly that Ye Fan was caught off guard.
"Of course."
Lan Xi covered her mouth and chuckled.
Ning Xiangtian sat there with a dark face, feeling extremely unhappy.
Very unhappy!
He was unhappy with everything about this kid!!!
"Dad, Mom, is this the tutor?"
Just then, a soft voice came from the stairs.
Because Ye Fan was sitting with his back to the stairs, Ning Xi didn't recognize him at first. Looking at the figure on the sofa, her eyes were filled with confusion.
This back looked so familiar...
"Xiao Xi, come and say hello to the teacher."
Lan Xi beckoned to her daughter, a playful glint in her eyes. She was very curious about her daughter's reaction.
Ye Fan's body stiffened, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Ning Xi took small steps and walked to the sofa, her head slightly lowered. "Hello, teacher, I'm..."
She trailed off mid-sentence.
The girl's eyes widened as she stared at Ye Fan on the sofa, her mind going blank.
"Why is it you?!"
Ye Fan smiled and asked back, "Can't it be me?"
Ning Xi's mouth gaped open, and she said in disbelief, "Y-y-you're the tutor?"
"Pfft!"
Lan Xi burst out laughing. It was the first time she had seen her daughter so flustered, and she found it amusing.
The tension in Ye Fan's heart gradually subsided. He winked at Ning Xi and said half-jokingly, "Yes, today I'm both your classmate and your teacher. Surprised? Shocked? Excited?"
"..."
Ning Xi's eyes were wide with bewilderment. A faint blush crept up her cheeks, making her look incredibly charming.
Ye Fan was her tutor?
What was going on?
The girl turned to her mother in confusion and asked softly, "Mom, what's going on? How come Ye Fan is the tutor?"
"Ahem!"
Before Lan Xi could speak, Ning Xiangtian took the initiative to say, "Xiao Xi, Ye Fan is only good at math and physics. His grades in other subjects aren't even as good as yours, so he can't really be considered a teacher."
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Ning Xi blinked, suppressing her many questions. She explained softly, "Ye Fan isn't just good at math and physics, he's good at every subject."
"In the class test a while ago, he got perfect scores in all his subjects, he's much better than me."
