Chapter 112 The Evil Ones Complain First

The living room was silent.

Looking at Ye Fan, so close she could feel his breath, Ning Xi was stunned, her eyes glazed over as if she had been petrified. She lay motionless in his arms.

The scene had an inexplicable air of warmth and intimacy.

Fortunately, Ye Fan, having lived another life, possessed remarkable self-control. Otherwise, he would have lost his composure in this situation.

This girl is lovely!

After the initial shock, Ye Fan came back to his senses. Feeling the soft and delicate body in his arms, he wanted to say something, but the words caught in his throat.

He had only held Ning Xi once in his previous life.

Since he had this opportunity, he might as well hold her a little longer...

Time ticked by.

They remained in this intimate embrace for two or three minutes.

Suddenly, Ning Xi yelped and quickly pulled away from Ye Fan's embrace.

Ye Fan felt he had suddenly lost something precious, but he wasn't greedy.

After all, this girl would be his sooner or later.

"You..."

"You were the one who initiated it."

"I..."

"I don't blame you."

Ning Xi's lips parted slightly, her face as red as a cherry.

What did he mean by she initiated it?

It was clearly an accident, but this guy had taken advantage of the situation and hugged her. On top of that, he had held her for so long and was now acting all innocent!

It was... infuriating!!!

"Give me your hand."

"Hmm?"

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, looking at the flustered girl. He didn't ask why and extended his right hand without hesitation, the corner of his mouth curving up. "Don't be so angry, anger is bad for your health. Go ahead and bite."

"..."

Ning Xi stood there, her eyes flickering with a mix of emotions: hesitation, shyness, and a touch of distress.

What had gotten into her?

Why had she acted so... boldly just now? Was this her?

Seeing Ning Xi standing there silently, Ye Fan stood up and gently pushed her onto the sofa, comforting her softly, "It's okay, it was just a hug, not a big deal."

Feeling wronged, Ning Xi protested, "What do you mean 'just a hug'?"

"Why didn't you push me away just now? Not only did you not push me away, you even held me for so long. You..."

Embarrassed, she waved her hand, unable to continue.

Ye Fan smiled wryly.

How was he supposed to respond to that?

How could he possibly bear to push Ning Xi away? Besides, it wasn't that long, just a few minutes.

Of course, he knew he couldn't say this out loud, or the girl would definitely get angry.

"Ahem..."

Ye Fan cleared his throat. "Xiao Xi, do you know why I was late this morning?"

The best way to solve a problem is to forget about the problem.

In short: change the subject.

"Hmm?"

Ning Xi nodded instinctively. "No."

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Fan continued, "Well, this morning, as I was leaving my apartment, I saw an elderly man having a medical emergency at the crosswalk. He was in critical condition. I couldn't just ignore him, could I?"

"So that's what happened."

Ning Xi's eyes flickered. She had completely fallen for Ye Fan's tactic, no longer dwelling on their embrace. Instead, she asked with concern, "Is the old man okay now?"

"He should be fine."

Seeing his strategy working, Ye Fan pressed on. "About going shopping this weekend, would you like to reconsider?"

Ning Xi was about to speak, but remembering what had just happened, her face flushed red, and she glared at Ye Fan. "We haven't settled the score for what happened just now, and you're already thinking about asking me to go shopping with you this weekend?"

Unfortunately, her fierce expression did not affect Ye Fan. He chuckled and shrugged. "That's a different matter. Besides, it wasn't really my fault, was it?"

"My fault?"

Ning Xi wanted to cry, but she felt too embarrassed. Her heart was in turmoil.

Apart from her father, no other man had ever hugged her. But just now, she had been hugged by Ye Fan, and she was the one who had initiated it...

Ahhhhh—

"Alright."

As Ning Xi was lost in thought, Ye Fan sat down beside her and gently tucked her stray strands of hair behind her ear. "We're good friends, is it really that big of a deal to hug?"

"..."

Here we go again.

His strange reasoning left Ning Xi speechless.

"It's getting late, I'll walk you downstairs."

Without waiting for Ning Xi's response, Ye Fan picked up her backpack and led her out of the apartment.

Arriving at the gate of the residential area.

Ning Xi glanced at Ye Fan secretly. The shyness in her heart gradually faded. Holding hands with Ye Fan like this gave her a strange feeling.

A sense of security, and a hint of... sweetness.

At this moment, she felt troubled.

Could it be that she really liked Ye Fan?

No way!

How could that be?

As soon as this dangerous thought surfaced, she immediately rejected it.

As the saying goes, as long as your thoughts don't waver, there will always be a way.

Her thoughts must not waver, otherwise...

Opening the back door, Ye Fan gently pushed Ning Xi into the car, placed her backpack inside, and instructed, "Remember to do the college entrance exam practice papers when you get home. They'll be very helpful for you. Don't get complacent just because you got a perfect score on one test paper, okay?"

"...Okay."

Ning Xi was as obedient as a kitten. Meeting Ye Fan's clear and deep gaze, she didn't know what to say, it was purely instinctive.

Ye Fan pursed his lips and closed the car door.

Zhuang Li glanced at them through the rearview mirror and sighed inwardly.

It's over!

The young lady has completely fallen!

After watching the car leave, Ye Fan returned home and grabbed a set of clean clothes. Just as he was about to take a shower, his phone rang.

"Hello, who's this?"

"Hello, this is Gu Ziyi. Thank you for saving my grandfather this morning. Oh, my grandfather's name is Gu Yun, it's on the business card I gave you. He's out of danger now."

"I'm glad he's okay."

Hearing the female voice on the phone, Ye Fan's expression was calm. He had already anticipated this outcome.

The way he treated Gu Yun this morning might have seemed simple, but there were many intricacies involved. Firstly, the placement of the needle, then the depth, and he also had to consider the size of the wound.

The only downside was that he didn't have professional tools at the time, so he had to use a ballpoint pen as a medical device, which could have caused infection or even complications.

Fortunately, he had been taken to the hospital in time, and these problems were easily resolved.

Overall, it was a success!

"Thank you so much."

Gu Ziyi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can you tell me your name?"

"And your address? Once my grandfather recovers, we would like to visit you in person and express our gratitude."

"That's not necessary."

Ye Fan politely declined. "Helping others is a virtue, I didn't save your grandfather for any reward."

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you. I'm not actually a doctor. I lied to you this morning because your grandfather's condition was critical. I had no choice, so I had to say that. I apologize."

"I know."

Gu Ziyi said, "You look like you're only sixteen or seventeen, how could you be a doctor? I was just panicking at the time, and it only occurred to me later. But I'm still very grateful to you."

"Hmm, that's all then."

Ye Fan hung up the phone, tossed it onto the bed, grabbed his clothes, and entered the bathroom.

In a high-end ward at the Imperial Capital Central Hospital.

Hearing the dial tone on the phone, Gu Ziyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly.

She just wanted to express her gratitude, not demand payment. Yet, the other party didn't even tell her his name. Was that really necessary?

When her grandfather woke up, he would definitely blame her for this...

The next day.

Entering the Elite Class, Ye Fan saw the girl sitting in the back, diligently studying with her head down. A look of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Genius is 1% talent and 99% hard work. Although talent was important, diligence was even more important.

How could someone who was both talented and hardworking not be outstanding?

Ning Xi was a prime example!

As Ye Fan passed by Tang Zhengxu's seat in the first row, a glint flashed in Tang Zhengxu's eyes. From an angle that no one else could see, a sneer appeared on his face as he discreetly stuck his foot out to trip Ye Fan.

"Thud!"

Ye Fan didn't notice Tang Zhengxu's little trick. He was tripped, his body losing balance. He reacted quickly, twisting his right foot and stomping his left foot firmly on the ground. After stumbling slightly, he regained his balance.

"Ah—"

Tang Zhengxu screamed in pain, clutching his foot. "Ye Fan, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"Even if we have some friction, you don't have to resort to such dirty tricks! I didn't expect you to be such a despicable and shameless person!"

Instantly, everyone in the classroom turned to look, including Ning Xi.

Seeing Tang Zhengxu clutching his foot in pain and Ye Fan's half-bent posture, she immediately guessed what had happened. Then, murmurs of discussion broke out.

"That's a bit much, isn't it?"

"We're all classmates, there's no need for this, right?"

"He usually seems like such a gentle person, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless."

...

Ye Fan turned around, a look of disdain in his eyes. His voice was calm. "Why don't you take a look in the mirror?"
