The young girl's heart was like a wind chime, and her feelings were evident in the slightest breeze.
Sensing Ning Xi's docility, Ye Fan smiled, a fleeting smile that disappeared as quickly as it came.
He pulled Ning Xi to sit down at the desk and said, "Don't worry, I still want to get rich from this tutoring gig. How could I be easily intimidated by your uncle?"
"Pfft!"
Ning Xi covered her mouth and laughed, her bright smile and beautiful features as refreshing as a spring breeze.
She giggled and said, "Get rich? You're exaggerating!"
Ye Fan squeezed the girl's small hand, soft and cool, smiling without saying a word.
Instantly, Ning Xi's face flushed red. She tried to pull her hand away subtly.
Unfortunately, she failed~~~
"Ye... Ye Fan, let go of me... please, someone might see... it's not good."
"Have you finished the last problem?"
"N-no."
"Then why aren't you working on it?"
Ye Fan raised their intertwined hands, his face betraying no guilt as he said, "This is to train your focus while doing problems. You can't be distracted by external factors. You only need to focus on solving the problem, nothing else, understand?"
"..."
Ning Xi bit her lip and replied softly, "...Okay."
She wasn't stupid. She knew Ye Fan was making things up, but she couldn't muster any resistance.
With her right hand holding the pen, the girl's face flushed pink as she looked down at the last problem on the test paper, her expression innocent. Who knew what was going through her mind?
The corner of Ye Fan's mouth curved up as he opened the book in front of him and started reading silently.
On the surface, he seemed to be studying quietly, but the hands intertwined under the desk looked a little...
...
4:30 p.m.
Ye Fan and Ning Xi came to the living room.
Upon seeing them, Lan Xi, who was sitting on the sofa, waved to them. "Is the tutoring session over?"
Ye Fan walked over and nodded with a smile. "It was supposed to end around 2:00 p.m., but Xiao Xi was so eager to learn that she wouldn't let me leave. So we ended up tutoring until now. But, Sister Lan, you can just calculate it as four hours."
Hearing this, Ning Xi's eyes widened, and she stared at Ye Fan in astonishment.
She wouldn't let him leave?
It was Ye Fan who wouldn't let go of her hand...
"That won't do."
Lan Xi glanced at her daughter meaningfully and pushed an envelope on the coffee table toward Ye Fan. She smiled gently. "You should be paid for the actual time you worked. This is your salary for today, take it."
Ye Fan's eyes flickered. He suggested tentatively, "Sister Lan, why don't we just forget about it? Xiao Xi and I are classmates, this doesn't seem quite right."
"No way!"
"No way!"
The two girls said almost simultaneously.
Lan Xi winked at her daughter, a playful look on her face. "Xiao Xi, you go first."
"..."
Ning Xi's face instantly flushed red, and she stammered, "I... I..."
"Sister Lan."
Ye Fan picked up the envelope on the coffee table and said with a chuckle, "I was just being polite. Of course, it's better to get paid."
If Ning Xi wanted him to take it, then he would take it!
The corner of Lan Xi's mouth twitched upwards. She was becoming more and more impressed with Ye Fan. He was well-spoken, straightforward, and not pretentious at all. She nodded slightly. "That's right. Xiao Xi, go see Ye Fan off."
"Okay."
Ning Xi nodded, poked Ye Fan with her finger, and whispered, "Shall we go?"
"Yeah."
Ye Fan nodded at Lan Xi and walked out side-by-side with Ning Xi.
Lan Xi watched them leave and muttered to herself, "They're such a good match. It's just that they're still a bit young. I need to find a chance to remind them..."
At the gate of Haihuang District.
Ye Fan stopped and patted Ning Xi's head. "Alright, I'll see you here."
Feeling the strange gazes of several security guards, Ning Xi felt shy and whispered, "Don't pat my head, I won't grow taller."
Ye Fan looked Ning Xi up and down, then leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You're tall enough. Any taller and you won't be as pretty."
"No way?"
Ning Xi pushed Ye Fan away, her face flushed. "I... I'm only 1.6 meters tall..."
Ye Fan smiled and opened his arms. "Want a hug?"
"You..."
Ning Xi's face turned even redder. She quickly took two steps back and shook her head. "No way! Why... why are you always thinking about these things? It's not appropriate..."
"It's all your fault."
Ye Fan walked to the roadside and hailed a taxi. He said calmly, "Who told you to be so beautiful?"
"..."
Ning Xi opened her mouth, but no words of rebuttal came out.
Her adorable appearance was enough to make even a saint fall for her.
The taxi stopped in front of them. The girl pushed Ye Fan into the car and waved goodbye. "Be careful on your way home, bye~"
After saying that, she turned and ran into the residential area, a hint of panic and excitement on her back.
Ye Fan smiled and looked away.
"Driver, Baiyu Garden on Zhaohua Road."
"Okay!"
The driver started the car. After driving for a short distance, he said, "You've got it good, young man. Hold on tight, maybe you won't have to work hard in the future."
Ye Fan just smiled faintly.
No need to work hard? Nonsense!
He arrived home at exactly 5:00 p.m.
The books tied up at the door were all gone. Presumably, Lin Ruoyu had taken them all away. But what puzzled Ye Fan was that his Merit Points hadn't increased.
Sitting on the sofa, Ye Fan asked in his mind, "System, why didn't I get any Merit Points for donating books?"
"Shouldn't that count as contributing to society?"
When in doubt, ask. With the system as his cheat, he naturally had to make good use of it.
System: "It does count, but the books you donated haven't reached those in need yet, so the system can't evaluate it for now. Please be patient."
"I see."
Ye Fan nodded, took out the envelope Lan Xi had given him before leaving, and opened it. He was instantly stunned.
Inside the envelope were two neat stacks of 100 yuan bills. He didn't even need to count to know how much it was.
20,000 yuan!!!
According to the salary agreement in the contract, it was 1,000 yuan per hour. Today, at most, he had only tutored Ning Xi for less than six hours. 6,000 yuan should be enough, why was there so much?
After thinking about it, Ye Fan took out his phone and called Lan Xi.
"Ye Fan?"
"Sister Lan, it's me."
"Are you home yet?"
"Yes."
Without beating around the bush, Ye Fan asked, "Sister Lan, did you give me too much for today's salary? There's 20,000 yuan in here. I'll bring the extra money to you next week when I tutor again. I should only be paid for the work I do. Thank you for your generosity, Sister Lan, but..."
"What are you talking about?"
Lan Xi's voice came through the phone. "I only gave you 5,000 yuan today, what 20,000?"
"..."
Ye Fan's mouth twitched. Judging from the amusement in Lan Xi's voice, she was definitely the one who put the extra money in. He smiled wryly and said helplessly, "Sister Lan, you..."
Lan Xi interrupted him. "Isn't it good to have money? When you and Xiao Xi go out, you can't let her pay, can you? I have something to do, I'll hang up now. See you next week."
"Beep... beep..."
Putting down the phone, Ye Fan's expression was incredibly strange.
His future mother-in-law was giving him money to chase after Ning Xi.
