"Yo, what's going on here?"
The voice belonged to Tang Zhengxu. He had disliked Ye Fan ever since the seating arrangement incident and was always looking for an opportunity to put him down.
With Lin Dejiang out of the classroom, Tang Zhengxu had no reservations. He said with a mocking tone, "What did you do to deserve getting sprayed in the face with water by Ning Xi? Tsk tsk, how pathetic!"
A wave of snickers rippled through the classroom.
Su Qiaoyu, sitting in the front row, turned her head to glance at them before focusing her attention back on her scratch paper. Her gentle and graceful demeanor was captivating.
Unfortunately, everyone's attention was on Ye Fan and Ning Xi, and no one noticed this eye-catching scene.
Although she didn't interact with Ye Fan much, Su Qiaoyu understood his personality.
Tang Zhengxu was still too immature in front of Ye Fan, or rather, they were not on the same level at all.
Ning Xi hurriedly took out a tissue from her desk drawer, her face full of apology.
"I-I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. Quickly wipe your face."
"It's okay."
Ye Fan took the tissue, his finger brushing against the back of her hand.
Ning Xi blushed instantly and said in a flustered tone, "You... quickly wipe your face first."
"Okay."
Ye Fan smiled warmly, his eyes full of indulgence.
His handsome smile made the few girls in the class's eyes sparkle.
In terms of height, looks, temperament, and even academic performance, Ye Fan was practically impeccable. Faced with such a perfect boy, few girls could remain unmoved.
"Ye Fan, are you deaf? I'm talking to you!"
Seeing that Ye Fan was completely ignoring him, Tang Zhengxu's face darkened. This feeling of being disregarded was truly infuriating.
Ye Fan's brows furrowed slightly, the smile on his face instantly replaced by coldness. His voice was indifferent. "Did you just say something? What did you say?"
"..."
Tang Zhengxu was taken aback.
He had been talking for a while, but this guy didn't even know what he had said. Feeling the mocking gazes of several classmates, the anger in his heart burned even fiercer. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ning Xi is such a kind person, yet you managed to make her angry. What did you do to her?"
"What's it to you?"
Ye Fan raised his eyelids slightly, a hint of pity and disdain in his eyes.
To be so annoying, in a sense, was also a form of pity.
Of course.
Those who are pitiful must have done something to deserve it!
"I..."
Tang Zhengxu choked on his words, his face flushing red. "Of course, it's my business. As Ning Xi's classmate, I can't tolerate anyone bullying her. You, a boy, bullying a girl, what kind of man are you? You're a disgrace to all boys!"
Faced with this baseless accusation, Ye Fan wasn't angry. He said with a chuckle, "Yes, yes, yes, you're right. I'm a disgrace to all boys. But..."
He paused and then said, "You're not a boy, why are you so angry?"
"..."
"..."
Hearing Ye Fan's first half of the sentence, Ning Xi tugged at his sleeve under the desk, wanting to remind him. But after hearing the second half, she immediately dismissed the idea.
Indeed.
How could this guy possibly be at a disadvantage? She knew this better than anyone!
His words hung in the air, and the classroom fell silent, the atmosphere a bit awkward. After three or four seconds, a burst of laughter erupted.
"One word: Savage!"
"Damn, that comeback was brutal!"
"Don't you feel like they're not even on the same level? Tang Zhengxu is completely outmatched!"
...
"You... you..."
Tang Zhengxu trembled with anger, his teeth gritted, his eyes blazing with uncontrollable fury. He suppressed the urge to curse.
"Ye Fan, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're handsome. Not all girls fall for your tricks."
He turned his gaze to Ning Xi. "Ning Xi, there are many empty seats in the classroom. You don't have to sit with this annoying guy."
Ye Fan shook his head. This guy had lost his mind. Compared to their first encounter, this time he was...
Pathetic!
Ning Xi's face was cold, and she didn't even glance at Tang Zhengxu. She said in a clear voice, "Ye Fan and I get along very well. Just now, I thought of something funny while drinking water and accidentally sprayed him. I was about to apologize to Ye Fan. I hope Tang Zhengxu will stop spreading rumors."
"..."
This time, Tang Zhengxu was completely dumbfounded.
He stood there awkwardly, feeling embarrassed no matter what he did. He could clearly feel the mocking gazes of his classmates, his face turning red and white.
What made him feel even worse was that Ning Xi hadn't even looked at him from beginning to end.
Why?
After standing there for more than ten seconds, he sat down stiffly and said coldly, "Anyway, this guy is not a good person. I advise Ning Xi to stay away from him."
His words made many people uncomfortable. Ning Xi had already clarified the situation, but Tang Zhengxu was still acting like a clingy dog, refusing to let go of Ye Fan, and even slandering him.
This behavior was disgusting!
"Look in the mirror, where do you get the confidence to insult others?"
"Even if he looked in the mirror, it wouldn't make a difference!"
"That's true, look at his face, it's like a 19th-century product that didn't sell and got stuck in the 20th century."
"Pfft— bro, your insults are top-notch. I admire you."
...
Two boys who couldn't stand it anymore chimed in, instantly making the entire Elite Class burst into laughter.
Even a few boys who were close to Tang Zhengxu couldn't help but laugh. They also felt ashamed of Tang Zhengxu's actions and had already distanced themselves from him in their hearts.
Ye Fan glanced at him and said calmly, "Being handsome might not allow you to do whatever you want, but being ugly shouldn't either, right? Sigh, some people's faces are as ugly as an unsolved case, tsk tsk."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strange penetrating power.
Everyone in the classroom heard him, even Su Qiaoyu, who was working on her problems with her head lowered, and a smile appearing on her face.
She knew that Ye Fan was not someone who would suffer in silence.
As for Tang Zhengxu himself, he clenched his fists tightly, his anger burning. The veins in his temples throbbed with each heavy breath he took, and coupled with the acne all over his face, he looked as pathetic as could be.
At the back of the classroom.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Ning Xi kicked Ye Fan under the desk, her clear eyes seeming to melt him. "Sorry..."
"Stop!"
Ye Fan turned his head, his long black hair slightly obscuring his eyes, but not the loving look in them. "Remember, you don't need to apologize to me, not even once, okay?"
Meeting his gaze, a faint blush crept onto Ning Xi's cheeks. She murmured something inaudibly as if lost in thought.
"...Okay."
Her soft and gentle voice was filled with a strange emotion that made one's imagination run wild.
