Chapter 74 Because You Are Not Ning Xi

"Don't worry, she's not your match!"

Looking at the serious Ye Fan in front of her, the girl's jade-like cheeks flushed crimson, like the rising moon surrounded by a halo.

Why was this person more confident in her than she was in herself?

And...

Just now, it seemed like he patted her head~~~

Ahhh—

This was in the classroom... Ugh! It wouldn't be okay even if it wasn't in the classroom!!!

"Why?"

"Because..."

Ye Fan smiled, his smile as bright as the moon. "Because you have me."

His thought-provoking words made the girl's face even redder, her voice filled with shyness.

"I, I'm not talking about this, I'm asking why you, why you... patted my head."

"..."

"Cough, cough!"

Embarrassment flashed across Ye Fan's eyes, but it was only for a moment.

In the next second, he blinked nonchalantly, his face not red and his heart not racing as he said, "Was there? Did you hallucinate?"

"I didn't pat your head just now!"

"You didn't?"

Ning Xi's eyes flickered, confusion written all over her fair face.

He clearly did just now!

Could it be...

She was hallucinating?

Thinking that she had been doing practice questions until late last night, the girl inexplicably accepted this fact.

Maybe it was really a hallucination.

As expected, she couldn't stay up late!

"Well... Sorry, maybe I was mistaken."

Ye Fan almost broke down. His shoulders shrugged slightly, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

Too silly, too cute!

Did this girl grow up eating cuteness?

"Xiao Xi, can I go out for a bit?"

Ye Fan was afraid that Ning Xi would misunderstand him, so he explained in a low voice, "Don't overthink it. It's not that I don't want to help you with the questions, but... a man's gotta do what he's gotta do."

"Ah?"

Ning Xi's face instantly resembled a ripe apple, tempting him to take a bite. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz. "You, you go then. Why are you telling me about this..."

Ye Fan rolled his eyes.

Who was it that was clinging to his arm just now?

However, it didn't feel bad to be clung onto.

Leaving the classroom, Ye Fan went to the bathroom and then went straight downstairs to Yang Ting's office.

"Knock, knock—"

"Come in."

Yang Ting looked up and was surprised to see Ye Fan entering.

"What brings you here?"

"Asking for leave wind."

"..."

Ye Fan's answer almost choked Yang Ting to death.

"You want to ask for leave?"

"Yes."

Ye Fan was casual. He pulled a stool over and sat down opposite Yang Ting. He got straight to the point. "Teacher, I want to ask for leave for two people."

"..."

Yang Ting almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

What did she just hear?

Asking for leave, and for two people?

Why don't you just fly to the heavens?!

However, who asked the person sitting opposite her to be Ye Fan? Faced with such a prized student, Yang Ting really couldn't bear to scold him. She asked with a smile, "Why do you need to ask for leave for two people?"

"The results of yesterday's competition test have been released. Ning Xi and Su Qiaoyu from Class 1 are tied for second place. Teacher Lin plans to have them compete again, and the exam is scheduled for the afternoon."

Ye Fan's tone was flat. "So, I plan to use these few classes in the morning to focus on Ning Xi's weaknesses."

"Sharpening one's spear only when there's war might be a little late, but it's better than nothing!"

"Besides, this is also for the collective honor of our Class 2."

"After all, there are only two spots for the competition in the entire school. If both of them are from our Class 2, Teacher Yang will also have something to be proud of, right?"

"..."

Yang Ting opened her mouth but couldn't find any words to refute him.

His words were reasonable, his thoughts were clear, and his reasons were valid. He didn't give her any chance to refuse at all!

"You seem to be very concerned about Ning Xi."

Yang Ting was not someone who was easily fooled. She instantly smelled something unusual.

Ye Fan remained calm, his expression unchanged.

"Yes, because I'm interested in her and I want to chase after her. Are you satisfied with this answer, teacher?"

"..."

Yang Ting was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Ordinary people would try their best to hide it, but why did Ye Fan admit it directly?

He was not playing by the rules at all!

"You..."

"I was first in the grade in the last monthly exam."

"You..."

"Ning Xi was second in the grade."

"..."

Yang Ting had never been so speechless in her life.

Could she please say something?

This was too much!!!

A bright smile appeared on Ye Fan's handsome face. "Teacher, you don't have to worry. I'll only chase after her when we're in university. Now, I'm just trying to get closer to her."

"But they're still students..."

"Is Ning Xi excellent?" Ye Fan interrupted.

"Of course!"

Yang Ting didn't even think before she gave her answer without any hesitation.

"Is Ning Xi pretty?" Ye Fan continued to ask.

"Are you kidding?!"

Yang Ting commented, "She's fair and tender, has such a good temperament, is polite, and is ambitious. She's a perfect girl."

"Right? That's what I think too."

Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded in agreement. "So, I've already set my sights on Ning Xi. Teacher, you have to help me. Otherwise, you'll have to compensate me with a girlfriend like her."

"..."

Only then did Yang Ting understand what Ye Fan meant. She felt as if ten thousand unknown creatures were surging through her heart.

So he had been waiting for her to say this?

He spoke so eloquently that it made her feel like she was facing that old fox at home.

He was so young, yet so terrifying!

As expected, none of the geniuses were normal. This saying was too reasonable!

"Stop, stop, stop. I didn't say I wouldn't approve your leave."

Yang Ting couldn't help but laugh. After pondering for a moment, she couldn't help but remind him, "However, I have to tell you this first."

"I can approve your leave, and I can go easy on you two in the future, but you have to promise me that your results won't decline in the slightest. Otherwise..."

"No problem, thank you, teacher."

"Sigh... Can't you let me finish?!"

Staring at Ye Fan's departing figure, Yang Ting gritted her teeth in frustration, but she was also a little amazed.

From the moment Ye Fan stepped into the office, the initiative had always been in his hands.

Was he really a third-year high school student?

There was still a Chinese class in the sprint class in the morning. By the time Ye Fan returned to the classroom, the bell had already rung for a few minutes.

Pang Qiuping, who was on the podium, saw Ye Fan but didn't ask why he was late. He said with a smile, "Come in."

"Thank you, teacher."

Ye Fan walked in. He didn't return to his seat and walked straight to Pang Qiuping's side. He whispered a few words into his ear.

Pang Qiuping nodded slightly and glanced at Ning Xi at the back row intentionally or unintentionally. He spoke in a voice that only he and Ye Fan could hear.

"Not bad. Go for it. This little girl is excellent."

"Teacher, what are you thinking? It's really just tutoring, it's not as complicated as you think." Ye Fan replied in a low voice as well.

"Still not admitting it?"

A hint of reminiscence flashed across Pang Qiuping's eyes. He whispered, "I've lived for most of my life, what haven't I seen before? The way you look at Ning Xi has already exposed everything."

"Alright, go on."

"Thank you, teacher."

It was true that old people were crafty.

Ye Fan sighed inwardly and didn't explain further.

Returning to his seat, he blinked at Ning Xi. "Bring the type of questions you want to ask and come with me."

With that, he got up and left through the back door.

As for Ning Xi, she was in a daze. Her eyes were fixed on Ye Fan, who was standing by the railing in the corridor, looking extremely lost.

Brother, big brother!!!

They were still in class, and the teacher was also...

The girl looked up at Pang Qiuping on the podium, feeling a little guilty. However, in the next second, she was dumbfounded.

The teacher was waving at her?

This—

This couldn't be a dream, right?!

Ning Xi rubbed her eyes and made sure that she wasn't seeing things. She hurriedly grabbed the test paper from yesterday's test, lowered her head, and ran out of the classroom through the back door.

Pang Qiuping sighed inwardly.

At his age, it was rare and precious to be able to experience this kind of youthful beauty up close.

Two boys sitting on the left side of the fourth row whispered amongst themselves.

"I'm so envious! The more I look at Ning Xi, the prettier I find her. Looking at Ye Fan's deskmate and then at you, my heart instantly suffers ten thousand critical hits!"

"Where's my knife?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Stab you!!!"

"..."

Su Qiaoyu retracted her gaze, ripples appearing in her gentle eyes.

Extra lessons?

At this thought, a hint of jealousy rose in her heart.

Why didn't Ye Fan even spare her a glance, yet he was so concerned about Ning Xi?

What was she lacking?

If Ye Fan knew what Su Qiaoyu was thinking at this moment, he would very calmly give her a seven-word answer.

Because you're not Ning Xi!
