Imagine this.

How glorious it would be if your own student made it to the Genius List!

With such credentials, even if you wanted to teach at another school in the future, it would be a breeze.

Out of everyone, the happiest person was naturally Yang Ting.

Although she was trying her best to control herself, the joy in her eyes was still very obvious.

Given the level Ye Fan was displaying now, as long as he performed normally in the college entrance exams, he would surely have a spot on the Genius List, and it might even be near the top.

Even being at the top of the Genius List wasn't impossible!

If Ye Fan could...

Hiss!!!

Yang Ting's hands clenched tightly without her realizing it.

Seeing their reactions, a smile appeared on Zhan Chongshan's wrinkled face. He clapped lightly and said in a deep voice, "This reform of the college entrance exams will undoubtedly attract widespread attention, and the Genius List will be the most important part!"

"All the teachers need to work harder. If you can guide a student to the Genius List, the school will not treat you poorly."

"Principal, it's our duty."

"Haha, well said!"

...

...

"Ding—"

As the school bell rang, the students, who had been tense all day, instantly deflated like balloons and became listless, with deep exhaustion written on their faces.

Their minds were foggy after being so focused for so long.

They handed in their comprehensive science papers.

The students, like birds released from their cages, replaced the exhaustion on their faces with joy.

Class 2, Science Section.

Only a few students remained in the classroom, still packing their things.

Ning Xi slowly and steadily packed up her things, and soon, her desk and drawer were as tidy as ever.

Looking up, she saw that the classroom was already empty except for her.

She was used to this, so she put on her backpack and was about to leave.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed more than ten books scattered messily on the ground at the back of the classroom.

"This person..."

The sunlight from the setting sun poured through the window, shining on the girl's beautiful face, adding a hint of holiness to her already gentle appearance, making it impossible to feel any disrespect.

Ning Xi walked quietly to the back of the classroom, picked up the books from the ground, and took out a tissue from her bag to carefully wipe off the dust.

Focused and serene, she formed a picturesque scene.

Unfortunately~~~

Only time silently recorded the beauty of this moment.

After wiping off the dust, Ning Xi placed more than ten different books into Ye Fan's desk drawer and muttered softly, "Even daring to skip the exam... does studying make you so great?"

After she finished speaking, a hint of helplessness appeared in her clear, stream-like eyes.

Fine!

Being good at studying really is impressive!!!

After closing the classroom door, Ning Xi left with her backpack.

Once she left the school gate, she took out her MP3 player, put on her headphones, and her steps became a bit more lively.

Under the glow of the setting sun, every movement the girl made seemed to tell the story of youth.

At the alley entrance.

Ye Fan leaned against the wall, watching as this graceful figure approached, his eyes filled with deep, surging emotions.

He was grateful!

Grateful that heaven had given him a chance to start over!!!

In this lifetime, he was determined to make up for all his regrets.

As Ning Xi approached the entrance of the alley, her eyes met Ye Fan's clean gaze, and her steps unconsciously slowed down a bit.

"Xiao Xi."

Ye Fan gently nodded and pointed toward the alley, his voice low and gentle, "Let's go."

Ning Xi felt a bit conflicted inside. Her black, waterfall-like hair gently fluttered in the breeze as she said, "You were waiting here just for me?"

"What else?"

A faint smile played on Ye Fan's face as he walked behind Ning Xi, "Come on, let's go to my house. I have something for you."

"...Hmm."

That soft nasal sound was enough to make anyone's heart itch.

Ning Xi took small steps, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks, youthful yet beautiful.

Following behind, Ye Fan's gaze was fixed on the graceful figure in front of him.

So beautiful~~~

Zhuang Li was waiting at the street corner, as usual. When he saw Ye Fan behind Ning Xi, his brows furrowed tightly.

Although he had never been in a relationship, life experience spoke for itself.

Seventeen or eighteen is the age when love easily begins to bloom...

"Miss."

"Uncle Zhuang."

Ning Xi nodded slightly, her clear eyes lowered, "You wait for me at the entrance of Baiyu Complex. I'm... going to Ye Fan's house to pick up some study materials."

Zhuang Li gave Ye Fan a long, meaningful look, filled with warning, but he couldn't act too obviously in front of Ning Xi. He started the car and drove toward the entrance of the complex.

Ye Fan smiled faintly, his face calm and composed.

He liked Ning Xi!

No need to hide it, no need to explain!!!

At the staircase entrance.

Ye Fan took off his backpack, his eyes shifting as he gestured to Ning Xi.

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment but soon understood his meaning. Her face flushed a bit, and after hesitating for a moment, she raised her left hand to grab the shoulder strap of the backpack.

They reached the sixth floor.

Ye Fan took out the key and opened the door, making a gesture for Ning Xi to enter, "I won't close the door, don't worry."

"I..."

Ning Xi's face turned slightly red, and she opened her mouth, unsure of what to say. She lowered her head and walked inside.

Ye Fan walked over to the refrigerator, took out a glass of lemonade, and placed it on the coffee table.

"Sit down and drink some water. I'll go to the bedroom to get the materials."

Ning Xi picked up the cup and took a small sip of lemonade, her eyes brightening slightly.

It's good...

Her gaze drifted toward the bedroom. She quietly walked over to the bedroom door, her cautious movements resembling a thief.

In her view, there were books everywhere, all sorts of books.

These books were piled messily on the ground, on the computer desk, and even the bed wasn't spared.

Ye Fan was squatting on the floor, rummaging through the pile of books.

Ning Xi raised her small hand and lightly knocked on the doorframe twice.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Fan looked up and, seeing Ning Xi at the door, a faint smile appeared in his deep eyes. "The room is a bit messy, pardon me. Just wait a little longer."

"It's okay."

Ning Xi responded with a polite smile.

Looking at the room full of books, her clear eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but recall the events from a few days ago.

Ye Fan had turned in his exam paper early, saying he went to the library to read.

At the time, she didn't believe him and thought...

But now, it seems she may have misunderstood him.

And after these two recent interactions, the "bad guy" label she had mentally placed on Ye Fan had unconsciously disappeared.

Ye Fan had no idea about the thoughts running through her mind. He squatted on the floor, searching for quite a while before finally finding a book titled *"High School Math Basic Formula Analysis."*

"Here, take this."

"Basic Formula Analysis?"

Ning Xi was stunned, her soft voice filled with confusion, "We learned basic formulas in freshman and sophomore years. Why are you asking me to read this?"

"Basics are important."

Ye Fan gently pushed Ning Xi's shoulders toward the sofa, explaining as they walked, "I took a close look at your math test paper and found something very interesting."

The warmth of his palm, transmitted through her clothes, reached Ning Xi's shoulders, making her mind go blank. She didn't hear a word of what Ye Fan said, and her body moved forward under his guidance.

After two steps, Ye Fan suddenly realized something was off.

This action was completely instinctive for him, but he forgot that right now, he and Ning Xi were still just ordinary classmates.

Oops.

These annoying hands should be cut off!!!

(Hands: Granny Li's fault...)
