Chapter 115 Are you chasing me?

8:00 a.m.

Pang Qiuping walked into the classroom on time, a handwritten transcript in his hand. His silver hair seemed to flow with every step, and a faint smile appeared on his wrinkled face as he sensed the students' expectant gazes.

Standing on the podium, he cleared his throat and said, "The results of the first mock exam are out. Apart from a few students who had some issues, everyone else performed quite well overall."

Only Ye Fan, Ning Xi, and Deng Yu, also from Class 2, knew the inside story of the "issues" Pang Qiuping was referring to.

"Alright, let's announce the scores."

Pang Qiuping spread the transcript on the table and began to read.

"Deng Yu, 668 points, ranked 543rd in the city."

"Wang Yang, 651 points, ranked 652nd in the city."

...

The classroom was silent, only the sound of Pang Qiuping's voice announcing the scores could be heard.

Some of the students whose names were called were happy, while others were disappointed. The students whose names hadn't been called yet had a growing anticipation in their eyes, along with a touch of nervousness.

"Su Qiaoyu, 728 points, ranked 5th in the city."

"Ning Xi, 739 points, ranked 2nd in the city."

As soon as these two scores were announced, the silence was broken by gasps of surprise.

They were amazing...

The fact that both of them were girls made many boys feel a little embarrassed.

"Wow, those two are beasts!"

"They're seriously good. Are all pretty girls this strong? Give us guys a chance!"

"Ning Xi has improved so much recently. I remember before coming to the Elite Class, Su Qiaoyu was always the top student. I can't believe she's surpassed Su Qiaoyu now, tsk tsk."

"It's okay unless something unexpected happens, Ye Fan should be the top scorer in the city. We can at least salvage some face for the guys."

...

Hearing the students' whispers, Pang Qiuping's white eyebrows twitched. His gaze fell to the bottom of the transcript.

"Ye Fan, 600 points, ranked 1367th in the city."

"..."

600 points?

600 points!!!

Except for Deng Yu, all the boys looked towards the back of the classroom. They saw Ye Fan with a faint smile on his face, seemingly quite happy. They were all dumbfounded.

What was going on?

This didn't make sense!

In the previous small tests before the mock exam, Ye Fan had gotten perfect scores in all three main subjects. Moreover, he came from a science background, there was no way he could have lost 150 points in the comprehensive science exam.

How did he get 600 points?

Most of them were puzzled, but only one person was delighted.

That person was, of course, Tang Zhengxu.

When he heard Ye Fan's score, he was first surprised, then ecstatic. Seeing that everyone's attention was on Ye Fan, he couldn't help but taunt, "Oh my, only 600 points? How embarrassing!"

"What's the use of doing well in the usual tests?"

Facing Tang Zhengxu's provocation, Ye Fan remained calm. He looked up and glanced at him. "Don't talk to me, I have mysophobia."

Instantly, laughter filled the classroom.

When it came to retorts, they had to hand it to Ye Fan.

He never used any curse words, yet his simple words packed a powerful punch.

Tang Zhengxu was furious, but in front of Pang Qiuping, he didn't dare to go too far. He snorted and said nothing more.

Pang Qiuping knocked on the desk, his gaze settling on Tang Zhengxu. He said slowly, "You only got 671 points for four subjects, and Ye Fan got 600 points for three subjects. Do you think you have the right to laugh at him?"

"Hiss!"

The classroom fell silent.

600 points for three subjects?

Abnormal!!!

There was definitely more to it than meets the eye...

Tang Zhengxu's face flushed red, he felt mortified.

Pang Qiuping clapped his hands. "Alright, focus now, let's start the class."

...

"Hurry up."

On their way to the cafeteria, Ning Xi stopped and turned to look at the leisurely Ye Fan behind her. She urged him softly, "If you keep walking so slowly, we'll have to queue for a long time."

"No rush."

Ye Fan walked forward. Just as he raised his hand, he saw Ning Xi dodge to the side, a wary look on her face. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. "Xiao Xi, am I that scary?"

Ning Xi's eyes darted around, and she turned her head away unnaturally. "Who knows what you're... going to do?"

It was lunchtime, and the road to the cafeteria was crowded. If Ye Fan did something... inappropriate...

They would definitely be seen!

So, she had to stay away from him to be safe.

Ye Fan chuckled softly and walked towards the cafeteria, his pace quickening. In the blink of an eye, he had widened the distance between them.

"Huh?"

Ning Xi stared blankly at Ye Fan's back. Coming back to her senses, she hurriedly chased after him, her waist-length hair flying in the air, a few strands brushing against her cheeks.

"Wait for me..."

Hearing the hurried breathing and the rustling sound of shoes against the ground behind him, Ye Fan sped up again. This action angered Ning Xi, and she quickened her pace once more, blocking his path.

The girl gasped for air, her face flushed. "You..."

"Are you chasing after me?"

"Obviously!"

Ning Xi raised her hand and tucked the hair behind her ear, glaring at Ye Fan. "Why are you walking so fast?"

Ye Fan raised his eyebrows with a playful smile and asked again, "Are you chasing after me?"

"Yes!"

"Are you chasing after me?"

"..."

Ning Xi was speechless.

Why did he keep asking the same question?

How boring!

"Are you a broken record?"

Meeting Ning Xi's clear gaze, Ye Fan didn't answer. Instead, he said with a smile, "I just wanted to make sure if you were chasing after me just now."

"Of course I was chasing you..."

Her voice trailed off.

Ning Xi's face was already flushed from running, but after realizing the double meaning in Ye Fan's words, she instantly turned crimson.

The breeze blew gently, but it couldn't cool the heat in her heart.

"You..."

"I agree."

Ye Fan interrupted again.

Ning Xi's chest heaved, her sweet voice filled with exasperation. "How shameless can you be?!"

"Very."

Ye Fan replied.

"..."

Ning Xi's lips parted slightly, she was speechless.

She had lost!

She had been completely defeated!!!

She snorted and walked towards the cafeteria without another word, her slender back expressing a hint of resignation.

Ye Fan chuckled and followed behind.

In the past, he wouldn't have dared to joke with Ning Xi like this, but after spending time with her and relentlessly teasing her, this girl's tolerance level had increased significantly, which was why he dared to tease her like this now.

Arriving at the cafeteria.

Ning Xi didn't wait for Ye Fan after getting her food. She walked towards the dining area with her tray. From afar, she saw Luo Yumeng waving at her. She paused, about to look back, but before she could move, her tray was snatched away.

Ye Fan carried both their trays and walked towards Luo Yumeng, responding as he walked.

"Coming, coming."

After taking two steps, he turned his head and winked at Ning Xi, who was standing there dumbfounded. "Don't just stand there, come on."
