Chapter 70 If You Want to Go, I'll Accompany You

"And, you seemed to be holding hands with Ye Fan just now..."

"..."

The girl's lips parted slightly, and her face, already flushed from running, instantly turned as red as a blooming rose.

"Uncle Zhuang, you... you..."

Ning Xi desperately wanted to deny it, but the words wouldn't come out.

She couldn't lie!!!

"Ahem..."

At that moment, Ye Fan, who was standing next to Ning Xi, spoke up. "Uncle Zhuang, you must be mistaken."

"Ning Xi and I are just ordinary classmates, how could we be holding hands?"

Can't lie?

No problem, he'll do it for her!

"..."

Hearing the words "Uncle Zhuang," Zhuang Li's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. He said with a straight face, "Don't call me uncle, I'm not your uncle."

His voice was cold and emotionless.

Ye Fan wasn't angry and said with a chuckle, "Bro, you must have seen wrong."

"..."

At that moment, Zhuang Li really wanted to curse.

But Ning Xi was still there, and he had to mind his words and actions.

He knew whether he had seen wrong or not.

They were holding hands!

He really wanted to beat this kid up!!!

Ning Xi glared at Ye Fan, her eyes filled with reproach. She said softly, "What are you calling him?"

She called him "uncle," and Ye Fan called him "bro"?

He had just become a generation older than her out of nowhere. Wasn't he taking advantage of her?!

Ye Fan scratched his head, his smile sunny. "Just kidding, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

"Whoosh..."

Just then, heavy rain suddenly poured from the sky. The raindrops were as big as soybeans, falling hard and fast.

"Click!"

Without saying a word, Ye Fan picked up his backpack, held it over Ning Xi's head, quickly opened the car door, and pushed her inside.

"Xiao Xi, I won't give you the test paper today, go home first."

After saying that, he closed the car door and turned to run toward the entrance of the residential area.

Ning Xi's eyes followed Ye Fan's running figure in the rain, a strange emotion in her gaze.

Only after the figure disappeared did she slowly look away. Turning her head, she saw Zhuang Li staring at her, and she suddenly felt guilty.

"Uncle Zhuang, shall we go?"

Zhuang Li could tell that Ning Xi was trying to change the subject. He shook his head helplessly, rolled up all the windows, and started the car.

After driving for about five minutes, they stopped at a red light. He finally couldn't help himself and said, "Miss, please don't take offense to what I'm about to say, but..."

"There are less than three months left before the college entrance exam. Now, Miss, you should focus on your studies. You can think about dating when you get to university. There are plenty of good boys out there. With your conditions, you can find any boyfriend you want."

"Uncle Zhuang, what are you saying?!"

Ning Xi was extremely embarrassed. She said hurriedly, "Ye Fan and I are just good friends, we're not... we're not dating!"

Seeing the green light, Zhuang Li started the car, feeling speechless.

Last time, they were just ordinary classmates, and now they were good friends.

Would they become boyfriend and girlfriend next time?

Thinking about what happened yesterday evening, Zhuang Li sighed softly and said in a deep voice, "Miss, there's something I need to tell you. The boss checked the surveillance footage at the guardhouse yesterday and saw Ye Fan walking you home..."

"So that's how Dad found out about Ye Fan!"

Before Zhuang Li could finish his sentence, Ning Xi interrupted him, her eyes filled with anger.

Zhuang Li hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Miss, about this..."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhuang, I know what to say and what not to say."

Hearing this, Zhuang Li didn't say anything more and focused on driving.

Ning Xi lowered her head, her mind racing.

She had to have a good talk with her dad when she got home...

...

When they arrived home, Ye Fan was already drenched.

He quickly took out the "Theory of Relativity" from his backpack. Fortunately, he had held his backpack close to his chest, otherwise the book would have been ruined.

He took a shower, changed his clothes, had a simple meal, and then lay down on the bed.

He didn't read to gain experience points like he usually did, instead, he started chatting with the system in his mind.

"System, you said yesterday that the way to gain Merit Points is to do things that contribute to society. What kind of things are considered contributions? Or rather, what's the standard?"

"I can't possibly get Merit Points just for picking up trash, can I?"

System: "Please explore on your own, host."

"..."

Ye Fan was helpless.

What could he do with such a system?

Explore on his own?

He had no choice!

Sitting up, he saw the stacks of books neatly arranged on the floor and against the wall. His mind raced, and he already had a plan.

Whether in his previous life or this life, Ye Fan was a man of action, except when it came to relationships.

Of course, that had changed now.

He went to his computer, searched online, and found an option for donating books on a website. He filled in his personal information, address, and contact number, scheduling the donation for Sunday morning.

After doing all this, Ye Fan lay back down on the bed.

He wouldn't grind for experience points tonight, he would relax.

Why?

Because he had held hands with Ning Xi again.

There would be a second time after the first time, and countless times after the second.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Ye Fan's face. Ning Xi's adorable image appeared in his mind, and he felt an unusual sense of peace.

Unknowingly, he drifted off to sleep...

The morning dawned silently, the sounds of nature softly filling the air.

The flowers, trees, and grass were covered in dew, a vibrant green.

Ye Fan ran a lap around the residential area, his body slightly warm. He bought two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk from the breakfast shop next door, solving his breakfast.

Back home, he sorted all his books into categories and tied them up with rope.

A total of 142 books!

He didn't know how many Merit Points he could get, but it should at least be a D-rank reward, right?

Arriving at school.

As soon as Ye Fan entered the Elite Class, he noticed something was different.

All the students were sitting upright, the classroom silent.

He looked up at the clock on the blackboard, at 7:53 a.m.

The class hadn't started yet!

What was going on?

Arriving at his seat, Ye Fan put down his backpack and poked Ning Xi, asking, "What's with the atmosphere?"

"Shh—"

Ning Xi made a silencing gesture and sat up straight, looking straight ahead.

"..."

Ye Fan was a little helpless.

The class hadn't started, and there were no teachers in the classroom.

Why were they all acting like this?

Just as he was puzzled, Lin Dejiang and an old man with white hair walked into the classroom.

The old man was slightly hunched over but had a lively face. His long white beard gave him a somewhat ethereal look.

Lin Dejiang clapped his hands and said loudly, "Let me introduce everyone. This is Teacher Tang Guoli. The National High School Math Competition will be held the day after tomorrow, and some of the students who were going to participate have had to pull out due to unforeseen circumstances."

"After discussion, we decided to select two students from Zhenhua High School and Yuqing High School each to participate in the competition. This is a rare opportunity, so please cherish it!"

After saying that, he nodded to Tang Guoli.

Tang Guoli slowly said, "The two spots for the competition will be decided through fair competition. All senior-year students can participate. Those who are interested in participating can sign up with Mr. Lin."

"By the way, you might not know this, but the top three winners of this competition will be guaranteed admission to the top four universities."

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing this, a burst of whispers erupted in the classroom.

"Guaranteed admission to the top four universities, wow, that's awesome!"

"Don't even think about it, the people participating in this competition are all freaks, they're terrifyingly good!"

"What's there to be afraid of? We're just as good as them!"

...

Ye Fan's expression remained indifferent, his eyes calm.

So it was just a math competition.

He only had three words for this:

Not interested!

"Ye Fan, do you want to participate in this math competition?"

Just as Ye Fan opened his "Theory of Relativity", Ning Xi suddenly spoke, her eyes filled with longing.

"Do you want to go?"

"I do, but I don't know if I have a chance."

Ning Xi's eyes dimmed slightly, and she said with a lack of confidence, "There are over 300 students in the senior year of Zhenhua High School, and there are only two spots. The competition is too fierce."

Ye Fan's voice was gentle, and he said with a chuckle, "If you want to go, then go for it, be confident."

"Times have changed, your math skills are already very good now. If you perform well, you have a good chance of getting a spot."

"Really?"

Ning Xi's eyes lit up, but she was still a little unsure.

"Of course!"

Ye Fan winked at Ning Xi, his clear eyes full of affection. "If you want to go, I'll go with you."
