Chapter 314 Do you like her?
In the living room.
Pang Wenjian poured two glasses of water for them, looked at Ye Fan with great interest, and asked, "What made you think of coming to see me today, brat? Has it been too long since I scolded you, and now you're itching for it?"
Ning Xi secretly laughed.
Just as Ye Fan had said earlier, this teacher really didn't speak very nicely.
Ye Fan smiled slightly and, surprisingly, nodded, "To be honest, I really did kind of miss it. Teacher, I used to always make you angry. I'm truly sorry for that. Since I had some free time today, I thought I'd come visit you."
Hearing this, Pang Wenjian burst out laughing, "At least you've still got a bit of a conscience. Back when you were at No. 2 High School, I sure scolded you plenty. But that was for your own good. Look at yourself back then—always sleeping in class, skipping school, and even getting into fights…"
Cough cough—
Before Pang Wenjian could finish, Ye Fan began coughing repeatedly.
Pang Wenjian paused mid-sentence, then knowingly shifted his gaze to Ning Xi, "Ye Fan, this girl is?"
"This is my…"
"Younger sister!"
"Oh?"
Pang Wenjian looked at the two before him and couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile. He'd already figured out most of it and teased, "Not bad, brat. You've only been at the new school for less than three months, and you already have a little sister?"
As soon as he said that, Ning Xi's face instantly turned red with embarrassment. Luckily, it was mostly hidden by her mask, so it wasn't too obvious.
Pang Wenjian's words clearly carried an underlying meaning.
She wasn't stupid—she could obviously hear it.
But she couldn't explain it either. Things like this only get messier the more you try to clarify.
Ye Fan didn't feel awkward at all and said with a smile, "If the east doesn't shine, the west will. If I can't study well, then I better have other talents."
Ning Xi: "…"
Seriously… a double act, huh!
Pang Wenjian was all smiles. He took a sip of water and asked, "Right, where did you transfer to?"
After Ye Fan dropped out, he hadn't heard any news about him at all.
He was completely in the dark.
"Zhenhua."
"Oh… what?!"
For a moment, Pang Wenjian didn't react. He was stunned for two seconds before realizing something was off and exclaimed, "Say that again."
Ye Fan spread his hands, "Teacher, I've been studying at Zhenhua these past few months. Is there a problem?"
"Of course there's a problem."
Pang Wenjian put down his glass, his eyes full of doubt as he stared into Ye Fan's eyes, "Are you messing with me? As far as I know, Zhenhua doesn't accept transfer students. You might fool others, but you can't fool me!"
"Huh? Teacher, you actually know quite a bit."
Ye Fan looked surprised, then calmly explained, "Teacher, would I lie to you about something like this? It's not that Zhenhua doesn't accept transfer students—it's just that transferring requires passing their entrance exam."
"With your grades, you passed Zhenhua's exam?"
Pang Wenjian's face was full of disbelief.
At that moment, Ning Xi, who had been silent the whole time, softly spoke up, "Teacher, Ye Fan really did transfer to Zhenhua. I can vouch for that. I'm a student at Zhenhua."
Upon hearing this, Pang Wenjian mostly believed it.
Although it still seemed unbelievable, there was no need for Ye Fan to lie about this and bring a girl along to help him do it.
Pang Wenjian suddenly changed the topic, his aged face showing a trace of concern, and sighed, "The college entrance exam this year is ridiculously hard. I doubt many students in the class will do well."
"It is a bit tough."
Ye Fan agreed and pondered aloud, "It's a national unified exam, and each subject's test was written by famously strict experts. It's normal for the difficulty to be high."
"That's true."
Pang Wenjian nodded in agreement.
Ning Xi sat quietly next to Ye Fan, listening to their conversation, a faint smile in her eyes.
She really liked this feeling and, through their talk, also learned quite a bit about Ye Fan's embarrassing past.
They chatted for a long time, until ten in the morning.
Ye Fan proposed to leave.
This visit to Pang Wenjian was simply a visit—just to apologize for his past mistakes.
At the gate of No. 2 High School.
Ning Xi tilted her head, her eyes full of lively curiosity, "Brother, you used to fight?"
"Twice."
Ye Fan nodded in admission, a look of reminiscence on his face, "One was for justice, and the other was…"
"Forget it, better not say."
Unknowingly, that just made Ning Xi even more curious. Seeing Ye Fan stop halfway through, her little face instantly showed dissatisfaction, "What the heck, why not tell me?"
"Don't feel like it."
The corner of Ye Fan's mouth curled up slightly.
Ning Xi pouted and immediately withdrew her hand. She stood under the shade of a willow tree, arms crossed, her posture practically shouting: Are you gonna talk or not? If not, I'm not leaving!
Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh, rubbed her silky hair, and said gently, "Do you really want to know that badly?"
"Who wants to know? Hmph!"
Ye Fan reached out and broke off two willow branches. Before long, he'd made a willow branch headband—different from last time, but even prettier. He placed it on the girl's head, nodded with satisfaction, and commented, "So beautiful."
Ning Xi: "…"
Ahhhhhh——
This guy is definitely doing this on purpose!
He obviously knows she wants to know, yet he's deliberately teasing her like this!
So annoying!!!
Ye Fan keenly sensed the shift in her mood and said, "Don't be mad. I'll tell you, okay? The other time I fought was because of a girl. Her name is Shen Li. She used to be my neighbor."
Ning Xi's expression tightened. In a soft voice, she asked, "Do you like her?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, a light pain struck her forehead.
"What was that for?"
"A lesson for you. Let's see if you still dare to talk nonsense next time."
Ye Fan pinched Ning Xi's pretty cheek, "Xiao Xi, Shen Li and I are just friends. We've known each other since we were little. That time I fought for her was because a boy bullied her and cut her hair. That little snot-nosed girl cried her heart out. I couldn't stand it, so I beat up the guy who bullied her."
"What's in that little head of yours? How did you jump to liking her?"
After hearing this explanation, Ning Xi muttered under her breath, "You've known her since you were little… isn't that childhood sweethearts? They say feelings grow over time. It's perfectly normal to like her."
"Keep talking nonsense and I swear I'll kiss you right here."
Ye Fan wore a wicked smile, his eyes flashing dangerously.
At that, Ning Xi immediately fell silent.
She knew Ye Fan.
If he dared to say it, then he dared to do it!
A kiss might not be a big deal, but to do it here, in public—she'd die from embarrassment!
The girl huffed a few times, turned her head away, and asked, "So where are we going now? To meet Shen Li?"
