In the kitchen, Gu Ziyi was making soup. Hearing the phone on the living room table ringing, she wiped her hands, came to the sofa in the living room, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and was stunned when she saw the caller ID on the phone screen.
This number…
Gu Ziyi was confused, wasn't she blocked by the other party?
Could it be that she guessed wrong?
Although she was puzzled, the other party was her grandfather's lifesaver after all, so she didn't dare to neglect him at all, and quickly pressed the answer button.
"Is this Miss Gu?"
"Hello, I am Gu Ziyi."
"Ye Fan, Ye of leaf, Fan of ordinary."
Hearing Ye Fan's self-introduction, Gu Ziyi's eyes lit up with a smile, and she asked tentatively: "Ye Fan, you should be a few years younger than me, you won't mind if I call your name directly, right?"
"It should be so."
Ye Fan didn't like complicated etiquette, he pondered for a while, and took the initiative to express his intention, "Miss Gu, the reason why I called you this time is mainly to ask, is your grandfather a professional Go player?"
"Yes."
Gu Ziyi was stunned for a moment, then explained softly: "My grandfather is a professional 9-dan, one of the only two 9-dan players in Xia Country, is there any problem?"
Hearing this, Ye Fan, who was standing at the end of the corridor, showed surprise on his face.
It was the same person, what a coincidence!
Could it be…
It's all arranged by God?!
"Miss Gu, can you send me an address later?"
With the blessing of level 3 intelligence, Ye Fan's mind was racing, and in less than a second, he had already made up his mind, and said: "If it's not disturbing, I would like to visit Mr. Gu this afternoon, I have something to ask for."
"Ye Fan, you are too polite."
Gu Ziyi was not surprised, and responded politely: "You saved my grandfather, logically speaking, my grandfather and I should visit you in person."
Facing Ye Fan's frankness, besides being surprised, she admired him more; Ye Fan looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he acted so straightforwardly and decisively, which was extremely rare in itself.
"It's okay."
For Ye Fan, if you want to ask someone for help, you have to have the attitude of asking for help. Even if he saved the other party, he can't use this to threaten the other party to do something. He would never do such a thing.
"Okay then, I'll send you the address right away."
Gu Ziyi didn't insist anymore, her grandfather was really not suitable to go out now, although it was a bit rude, it was not a bad solution.
"En, that's it then."
Hanging up the phone, the brilliance in Ye Fan's eyes subsided, he glanced at the door of the dining room, remained silent for a few seconds, put away the phone, and his expression returned to normal.
Back in the dining room, Ye Fan sat in Ning Xi's seat just now, with an apologetic expression on his face, "Uncle, Sister Lan, I kept you waiting, let's eat."
"Don't be so polite, come on, eat."
Lan Xi waved her hand indifferently, no matter how she looked at Ye Fan, she found him pleasing to the eye, whether it was his appearance, temperament, height, or personality; she couldn't find any fault.
Ning Xiangtian didn't say anything either.
While eating, Ye Fan felt a small foot under the table kicking him. His eyes flickered, he turned his head to look at Ning Xi on his left, and asked with his eyes.
Ning Xi's red lips moved slightly, and her voice was barely audible, "Is there something wrong?"
Ye Fan knew that Ning Xi was asking about the phone call just now, so he shook his head with a smile.
Seeing this, Ning Xi didn't ask any more questions, and ate her food obediently.
After a while, Lan Xi put down the knife and fork, and took the initiative to speak to her husband: "This afternoon, I will ask Ye Fan and Xiao Xi to go buy some review materials, and let Zhuang Li drive them there, just to let you know."
Ye Fan's expression was calm, and he continued to eat calmly, as if he didn't hear Lan Xi's words.
Ning Xi was a little unnatural. She knew what she was going to do this afternoon. It wasn't about buying any review materials, but just going shopping.
And her mother's attitude made her very puzzled, a feeling that she did it on purpose…
In fact, it was true.
"Buy review materials?"
Ning Xiangtian's movements paused, he frowned, looked at his daughter, and asked, "Xiao Xi, you have so many review materials, there is no need to buy more, right?"
"I…"
"Yes!"
As soon as Ning Xi opened her mouth, she was interrupted by her mother.
Lan Xi didn't dare to let her daughter talk too much, otherwise she would definitely reveal her secret. As for the puzzlement in her daughter's eyes, she just pretended not to see it, and explained to her husband: "Xiao Xi's review materials were all bought before, and they are not very suitable for the knowledge points she is reviewing now. Ye Fan's tutoring method is a bit special, so she has to buy new review materials."
As she said that, her eyes fell on Ye Fan, she blinked her eyes implicitly, and said pointedly: "Ye Fan, is that so?"
"That's right, that's it."
Ye Fan was not stupid, he could naturally see that Lan Xi was helping to find a suitable excuse, and he was so happy that he almost burst into laughter.
Although he didn't know why Lan Xi wanted him and Ning Xi to be alone, all in all, this was a good thing. With Lan Xi's cooperation in the future, he only needed to focus on dealing with Ning Xiangtian, his future father-in-law.
The same sentence as before.
Sister Lan, yyds!!!
Ning Xiangtian looked at Ye Fan, then at his wife, a strange feeling rose in his heart.
Why… why did it feel like the two were cooperating?
However, he has no evidence…
"Alright then."
In the end, Ning Xiangtian nodded helplessly in agreement, and told his daughter worriedly: "Go home after buying the review materials, don't stay outside too late, you know?"
"…En."
Ning Xi lowered her head, her little hands holding the knife and fork, poking at the steak on the plate absent-mindedly, her cheeks were full of guilt from her father's perspective.
At this moment, her mood was very strange, very strange.
Is this considered lying?
Well…it shouldn't be, yes, it doesn't count, definitely not!!!
After dinner, Ning Xiangtian received a call and rushed out in a hurry. He must have something urgent to attend to.
Lan Xi and Ning Xi, the mother and daughter, had long been accustomed to this. They had seen too many such things. Ye Fan was a little curious, but didn't ask.
It wasn't appropriate.
In the living room.
Looking at Ye Fan and her daughter standing side by side in front of her, Lan Xi said with a smile on her face: "Ye Fan, you and Xiao Xi are about the same age, I will call you Xiao Ye from now on, okay?"
"Of course."
Ye Fan nodded and said modestly, "Sister Lan can call me whatever you want as long as it's easy to say."
"You child, you can really talk."
Lan Xi covered her mouth and chuckled, then instructed: "Let Xiao Xi wear a mask when she is outside, this girl is a bit eye-catching, don't let her be bullied, if you encounter any trouble, let Zhuang Li handle it, okay?"
She wasn't bragging, she had a clear understanding of her daughter's appearance.
"Don't worry, Sister Lan."
Ye Fan's voice was flat, but with a hint of firmness in it if one listened carefully.
Plain firmness is the most valuable.
In this life, he wanted to be with Ning Xi forever, protect her, hold her hand when crossing the road, take beautiful photos of her, drink milk tea with her, do everything she likes to do, accompany her year after year, ten years after ten years…
