After what felt like an eternity, Lan Xi pushed open the study door and walked in.
The scene before her eyes made her eyes light up slightly.
The young boy and girl were sitting together, a gentle breeze brushing against the window pane, creating a warm and beautiful atmosphere.
Lan Xi gently placed the fruit plate down and turned to leave.
At the doorway, she glanced back, a knowing smile on her face, and muttered to herself, "They look quite good together."
The two people in the study didn't notice Lan Xi's presence at all.
Ning Xi's attention was completely focused on the test paper in front of her, while Ye Fan's attention was on Ning Xi. He admired her beautiful and fair face, his heart peaceful and content as he enjoyed this beautiful moment.
"Ahem..."
Ye Fan cleared his throat and pointed to the second to last problem on the test paper, his voice low and gentle.
"Xiao Xi, don't rush to answer this one, think about it carefully."
"But..."
Ning Xi looked up and blinked, confusion on her pretty face. But the next second, her face flushed crimson.
At this moment, her left hand was touching Ye Fan's right arm. Because she had suddenly looked up, their faces almost bumped into each other.
She could even feel his warm breath on her face. Her eyes blinked rapidly, her mind momentarily short-circuiting.
When... did they get so close?
"What are you spacing out for?"
Ye Fan reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind Ning Xi's ear, his movements gentle, his eyes filled with love.
He tapped her fair forehead lightly and said, "Come on, look at the test paper. There's a problem with your approach to this question."
"...Oh."
Feeling Ye Fan's touch, Ning Xi pouted slightly, her nose twitching, no resistance in her heart.
Realizing this, her heart was completely in turmoil.
Ning Xi, are you stupid?
Why didn't you refuse him?!
But...
How could she say it?
Ye Fan smiled faintly and reminded her, "You can't space out anymore. Come on, let me explain the solution to this problem."
"...Okay."
Ning Xi suppressed her shyness and nodded obediently.
Ye Fan pulled the test paper on the table closer to himself and said, "Math is different from other subjects. If you make even a small mistake, the whole problem is wrong, so it's especially important to understand the question carefully."
"If you try to answer the question without even understanding it, you're very likely to lose points. Look here, you're only given one requirement to find the distance between AB..."
The one explaining was serious, and the one listening was also serious.
The atmosphere was very harmonious~~~
Ye Fan patiently explained one math problem using three different methods.
Every time he saw the slight frown on the girl's face, he would stop explaining and repeat the previous step. To make it easier for her to understand, he used basic theories as much as possible.
At some point, the study door had opened.
Ning Xiangtian stood outside the door, watching the scene in the study, his expression a little unnatural.
He admitted that Ye Fan was indeed excellent, but seeing this boy being so close to his daughter, he still couldn't quite accept it.
After listening to Ye Fan's explanation from outside the door, he had to acknowledge Ye Fan's proficiency in math.
His explanation was entirely based on the simplest basic knowledge, which was very conducive to understanding.
However, most people couldn't teach like this.
While he was amazed, he also felt a hint of doubt.
How could a high school student be so good?
It was unbelievable!!!
After standing at the door for a while, Ning Xiangtian looked away and turned to walk towards the living room. But after taking just two steps, he stopped.
At the corner of the corridor, Lan Xi leaned against the wall, a smile on her face as she stared at Ning Xiangtian.
Ning Xiangtian was stunned for a moment. He walked over and asked, "Honey, didn't you go upstairs?"
"I'm not at ease with a certain someone."
"..."
Seeing her husband's silence, Lan Xi wrapped her arms around his neck and said with a smile, "Don't overthink it. Ye Fan is a good boy. Besides, Xiao Xi is almost an adult now, she has the freedom to make her own friends."
Ning Xiangtian wrapped his arm around his wife's slender waist, his voice laced with worry.
"But this boy obviously has ulterior motives towards Xiao Xi. I've been through that age, I know what he's thinking. How can I not overthink it?"
Hearing this, the smile on Lan Xi's face deepened, her beauty even more dazzling. She said softly, "You might be right, but so what?"
"So what?"
Ning Xiangtian's eyes widened. "I'll kick that boy out!"
His voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.
Lan Xi gave her husband a look. "Keep your voice down, it wouldn't be good if Ye Fan heard you."
"What's so bad about it?"
Ning Xiangtian's face was full of complaint. "I wanted to kick that boy out just now, I could just give him some compensation, but you had to stop me."
Lan Xi didn't say anything. She glanced at the study door and pulled her husband towards the living room.
In the living room.
Lan Xi pushed her husband onto the sofa and sat down next to him. She said, "Honey, why do you always like to interfere in young people's affairs?"
"Xiao Xi is not a child anymore, she's grown up. In a few years, she'll inevitably get married. Do you think you can stop her then?"
"Why can't I?!"
Hearing the words "get married", Ning Xiangtian's face flushed red. "I have enough money to support Xiao Xi, why does she need to get married? No marriage!"
"..."
Lan Xi facepalmed. She knew this would happen. She said helplessly, "Honey, if you keep this up, I'll send you to the hospital. Since ancient times, it's only natural for women to get married. Why should your daughter be an exception?"
"..."
"Besides, do you even know what Xiao Xi wants?"
"Xiao Xi is a piece of my flesh and blood, I know her better than anyone."
Lan Xi held her husband's hands and said softly, "I can tell you for sure that Xiao Xi has feelings for Ye Fan. As for how strong those feelings are, I'm not sure."
"What?!"
Ning Xiangtian couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and said, "No way, I have to kick this boy out! Honey, you can't stop me this time."
"Sit down."
"..."
Ning Xiangtian's face was filled with bitterness, but when he met his wife's serious gaze, he reluctantly sat back down on the sofa.
Lan Xi leaned on her husband's shoulder and said softly, "I think Ye Fan and Xiao Xi are quite a good match. Don't always think about breaking them up."
"Besides, the two children are just starting to develop feelings for each other. We don't know how far it will go. We just need to observe quietly."
"But... what if Xiao Xi gets hurt?"
Ning Xiangtian said with a stiff face, "Xiao Xi is a girl, not a boy. You need to understand that."
"She won't."
Lan Xi shook her head gently, a smile appearing on her face. "I'm a good judge of character. Ye Fan won't hurt Xiao Xi. A person's eyes can't lie."
"But..."
