Chapter 91 Be good and call me uncle

Perfect score on all subjects?

Upon hearing this, even Ning Xiangtian, with his vast experience and composure, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on his face.

He clearly remembered that when he asked about Ye Fan's grades earlier, Ye Fan's reply was only seven words:

"Not bad, not too shabby."

Did those seven words have anything to do with a perfect score on all subjects?

Noticing Ning Xiangtian's surprised expression, Ye Fan quickly explained, "Uncle, don't listen to Xiao Xi's nonsense. That perfect score was just a fluke. In the following monthly exams, I was immediately brought back down to earth."

Hearing this, Ning Xiangtian's expression became even more complex.

Ordinary people who achieved such a score would want the whole world to know, but this kid in front of him was deliberately hiding his true abilities.

A perfect score in one subject could be attributed to a fluke, but a perfect score in all subjects was simply impossible to be a fluke. It was a symbol of true strength.

"What do you mean 'brought back down to earth'?"

Ning Xi pouted and muttered, "You're the one talking nonsense. Weren't you the top scorer in the grade?"

"..."

"..."

Ning Xiangtian and Lan Xi exchanged glances, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Xiao Xi, why don't you chat with Ye Fan for a bit?" Lan Xi glanced at her daughter and subtly signaled to her husband with her eyes. "I suddenly remembered something, your dad and I need to go upstairs."

"Okay."

Ning Xi nodded.

Her serene appearance, coupled with her plain white dress, evoked an image of pure elegance. Her clear, stream-like eyes were untainted, and her long eyelashes seemed to flutter with the very essence of beauty.

Ning Xiangtian was curious, but he didn't ask any questions. He silently followed his wife upstairs.

Only Ye Fan and Ning Xi remained in the living room.

As soon as her parents left, Ning Xi's eyes narrowed, and she glared at Ye Fan, her fair face filled with confusion and a hint of resentment.

Ye Fan spread his hands innocently and asked knowingly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because you're handsome!"

"Thank you, I know."

"Ugh!"

Ning Xi was no match for Ye Fan's quick wit. She let out a soft snort and said, "I was still wondering last weekend why you and the tutor seemed to be wearing the same clothes. I didn't think much of it at the time, thought it was just a coincidence."

"But I didn't expect that the figure in the meeting room that day was you. You're quite good at hiding things, aren't you?"

"Ahem!"

Ye Fan coughed, a look of embarrassment on his face. "Well... Xiao Xi, I was afraid you would overthink things!"

"What could I possibly overthink?"

Ning Xi pouted, completely unaware of how suggestive her reaction was...

Ye Fan got up and walked over to Ning Xi. He was a head taller than her. He glanced at the staircase, then quickly patted the girl's round head and said seriously, "I really didn't know this was your house before I came for the interview."

"You..."

Ning Xi's face instantly flushed red. Her first reaction was to turn and look towards the stairs. After making sure her parents weren't there, she glared at Ye Fan. "Are you trying to get us killed? What if my parents saw us?"

"It's okay, they can't see us."

"..."

Ning Xi's delicate nose twitched, and she pointed at the sofa. "You, go sit over there!"

"Okay."

Ye Fan sat back down on the sofa with a faint smile on his face.

Ning Xi let out a soft sigh and chose to sit opposite Ye Fan, slightly lifting her skirt, revealing her fair and slender legs.

Ye Fan admired the girl openly, his clear eyes flashing with amazement. He said with a chuckle, "Xiao Xi, you look especially beautiful today."

Usually at school, Ning Xi dressed very conservatively, either in sportswear or casual clothes. She never wore dresses that could accentuate her femininity.

In his previous life, the girl was also like this, always wrapping herself up in baggy clothes.

"What are you looking at?!"

The temperature on Ning Xi's face had just cooled down, but because of his words, it started to rise again. The two patches of blush on her cheeks were incredibly charming, and her eyes were filled with annoyance. "Explain yourself!"

"Explain what?"

"Why did you come to my house as a tutor?"

"To earn money, of course!"

"..."

Looking at Ye Fan's sincere expression, Ning Xi opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say. After a few seconds, she asked persistently, "Is that the only reason?"

"Yes."

"..."

Seeing the disbelief on the girl's face, Ye Fan explained helplessly, "Everything I just said is true."

"Before I came here, I never expected this. Sister Lan..."

"Stop!"

Ye Fan's words were cut off by Ning Xi. Her eyes widened as if she had heard something unbelievable. She asked in shock, "What did you call my mom?"

"Sister Lan."

Ye Fan guessed the girl's thoughts and asked back with a smile, "Is there something wrong with that?"

"Of course there's something wrong with that!"

Ning Xi was furious. She glared at Ye Fan fiercely, her teeth gnashing. "That's my mom! How can you call her Sister Lan? You should call her Auntie!"

"You... you calling her Sister makes you one generation older than me, absolutely not!"

"I treat you as a good friend, and you want to be my uncle?"

Ye Fan pursed his lips, his eyes filled with indulgence. "Good girl, call me Uncle and I'll buy you candy."

"..."

Ning Xi's face flushed red again, but this time it wasn't from shyness, but from anger. "Do you believe I'll... bite you?!"

The girl couldn't think of any other threat, so she just blurted out these two words after struggling for a while.

Ye Fan's expression remained unchanged, but he was laughing inwardly.

So cute...

"Xiao Xi."

"What?"

"Why don't you talk to Sister Lan about it? If she agrees, I'll call her Auntie."

Ye Fan said unhurriedly, "But under normal circumstances, most women don't like being called old, so it might be difficult. Of course, you can try."

"..."

Ning Xi lowered her head and muttered to herself, "Try what? Mom definitely won't agree! Argh, this is so frustrating!!!"

"It's okay."

Ye Fan's voice was gentle, his eyes filled with a warm smile. "Let's each do our own thing, it won't affect our relationship."

The girl felt helpless, but she had no other choice.

To be honest, she was still a little confused. She had invited Ye Fan to dinner today, but he had suddenly become her tutor.

It was just... so bizarre!

"How could Mom choose you to be my tutor? You're still in your senior year of high school!"

"Simple." Ye Fan said nonchalantly, "I eliminated all the competitors, so your mom only had one option left, which was me. It's not surprising that she chose me, right?"

"..."

Ning Xi frowned. She had never felt so speechless before.

Ye Fan's logic was irrefutable.

"Are... are you really short of money?"

"Yes!"

Ye Fan smiled and explained, "Xiao Xi, we're deskmates, you should at least pay some attention to me."

"I... I am paying attention to you."
