Chapter 267: Beautiful, Really…White
"Pack your things and get out immediately."
Throwing down these words, Ning Xiangtian stood up and went upstairs, leaving Ye Fan in disarray.
It seemed like he hadn't said anything wrong!
Did he really have to change his expression that fast…
Ye Fan sat on the sofa for a while. Just as he was about to go upstairs to pack his things, he saw Ning Xi coming down. This girl had obviously just woken up, looking a bit drowsy.
"Hello, good morning."
"Xiaoxi, it's already ten in the morning, and you're still saying good morning?"
Faced with Ye Fan's teasing, Ning Xi didn't mind. She picked up a pillow and leaned half against the sofa, stretching lazily. Her astonishing curves were revealed, and beneath her short nightdress, her jade-like legs, as fair as white jade, were exposed.
A movement as simple as it could be, yet when Ning Xi did it, it carried an incredible allure, making Ye Fan's heart stir.
It wasn't that he lacked self-control, but that Ning Xi's charm was simply too overwhelming!
Ning Xi didn't notice the unusual look in Ye Fan's eyes. She rubbed her eyes with her small hand and murmured softly, "Time passes so fast. Tomorrow is already the start of the college entrance exam. If only I had another month…"
Hearing this, Ye Fan chuckled inwardly, pulled Ning Xi's jade-like arm to make her sit properly, flicked her fair forehead, and laughed softly, "You don't have any weak subjects anymore, so don't worry. During the exam, just perform normally. Whether or not you get a perfect score depends on fate. Don't stress too much about it."
"Mm, I know."
Ning Xi slapped Ye Fan's hand away, her clear eyes blinking. "Brother, do we have any plans today?"
"What kind of plans do you want?"
Faced with such an adorable Ning Xi, Ye Fan asked back with a smile.
Ning Xi poked her chin with her pinky finger and pondered, "Studying is definitely out of the question. At this point, I should relax a little, so… how about we go out and have some fun?"
When she mentioned going out to play, her eyes sparkled, full of anticipation.
"No problem."
A look of indulgence flashed in Ye Fan's eyes. "Have you decided where to go?"
"The arcade!"
Without any hesitation, Ning Xi blurted it out.
Clearly, she had planned this in advance!
Ye Fan rubbed his forehead helplessly, looking quite troubled. "Xiaoxi, can't we go somewhere normal? If Uncle and Sister Lan find out I took you to such a chaotic place like the arcade, I'm doomed!"
Ning Xi seemed to have expected Ye Fan's reaction. As soon as his words fell, she hugged his arm and began acting spoiled. "Brother, just take me there, okay? If you don't tell, I won't tell, so Mom and Dad won't find out. Please~"
When the words "please~" fell into Ye Fan's ears, he stopped thinking altogether.
He had no resistance against this girl's begging.
"I can take you, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Promise, promise."
Seeing that Ye Fan had agreed to take her to the arcade, a sweet dimple appeared on Ning Xi's cheek, her face filled with happiness.
Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders and reminded her, "Once we get to the arcade, you must listen to me in everything. That place is a bit chaotic, and you mustn't take off your mask. Otherwise, you might easily get harassed, understand?"
"You'll protect me!"
Ning Xi's eyes gleamed with innocence as she replied matter-of-factly.
Ye Fan couldn't help but ruffle Ning Xi's silky hair, shaking his head helplessly. "Fine, but we can only play for two hours. The college entrance exam is tomorrow. Relaxing is fine, but don't get too carried away. You need to stay in the right mindset for the exam."
"Got it."
Since she had achieved her goal, Ning Xi agreed readily, her soft, sweet laughter echoing in the living room.
This arcade plan was something she had been plotting for half a year.
As a well-behaved girl, Ning Xi had never been to an arcade from childhood to adulthood. She had only seen arcades on TV and computers, and her heart was filled with longing for all those different types of arcade machines.
Originally, she had planned to go with Su Ke and Luo Yumeng, but ever since Ye Fan entered her world, he had become her top priority.
Just then, Lan Xi, who had just come downstairs, heard her daughter's laughter and walked toward the sofa, asking as she approached, "What are you two talking about? So happy."
"Secret."
Ning Xi giggled and secretly shot Ye Fan a look. Little did she know that her small gesture was fully caught by her mother.
Lan Xi chuckled inwardly.
Over the past two months, her daughter's personality had become more and more lively, a stark contrast to before.
In her eyes, this change in her daughter was entirely due to Ye Fan's presence.
And indeed, that was the case.
Ye Fan smiled slightly and nodded at Lan Xi. "Sister Lan, I plan to move back this afternoon. I've troubled you during this time."
"Move back?"
Hearing that Ye Fan wanted to leave, the smile on Lan Xi's face disappeared. She quickly persuaded, "There are plenty of empty rooms in the house. Don't talk about troubling us. Besides, the college entrance exam is tomorrow. I've already prepared two sets of all the tools you'll need."
"You're all alone in the Imperial Capital. If you forget something out of carelessness, that would be a huge problem. I need to watch over you for your mother. No moving out. That's final."
After saying that, Lan Xi didn't give Ye Fan a chance to speak and left.
"Pfft—"
Ning Xi burst into laughter.
The moment she heard that Ye Fan wanted to leave, she had already guessed her mother's reaction.
A warm feeling passed through Ye Fan's heart, and he had no choice but to dismiss the idea. As his eyes glanced at Ning Xi, who was secretly laughing, he put on a stern expression.
"What are you laughing at? Come to the study for tutoring. The essay you wrote last night had problems. Before lunch, write another one."
Ning Xi's delicate face stiffened, and she grumbled angrily, "What? Last night, you clearly said my essay was good. How can you change your mind so fast? Liar!"
Ye Fan grabbed Ning Xi and pulled her toward the study. Faced with those dazzling jade-like legs, he could only chant inwardly: Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
But in the end, he found that it was useless.
As Ning Xi was writing, Ye Fan's eyes uncontrollably drifted toward her legs. This situation even made him look down on himself.
Shameless!
Absolutely no self-control!
Ning Xi keenly noticed Ye Fan's gaze. Seeing him sneaking peeks at her legs from time to time, her cheeks flushed slightly, making her look exceptionally enchanting.
"Does it look good?"
"Good… so white."
Ye Fan hadn't even finished speaking when he suddenly felt a tightness in his back and immediately tried to stop himself.
But…
He failed!
The moment the word "white" slipped out, the atmosphere in the study turned awkward.
Ye Fan put down his book, turned his head away, and looked embarrassed.
At this moment, he really wanted to give himself a slap.
Why blurt out the honest truth?!
Ning Xi bit her lip with her pearly teeth, feeling utterly shy. Blushing, she stood up and walked toward the door.
Seeing this, Ye Fan quickly asked, "Xiaoxi, where are you going?"
"To change clothes! Otherwise, someone keeps staring at my legs. Hmph, perv!"
"…"
