Chapter 132 College Entrance Examination Goals

"Is it not tasty?"

Ye Fan raised his right hand to the girl's mouth, smiling as he said, "Come on, if it's not tasty, spit it out, and I'll eat it."

"..."

Hearing this made Ning Xi's face flush. She put on a fierce expression and glared at Ye Fan, grinding her silver teeth as she said, "You, are you trying to die?!"

"What's the problem?"

Ye Fan scratched his head innocently, stating solemnly, "Wasting things, especially food, is very bad. If you don't like it, just spit it out; I'll eat it. After all, I won't mind you. What about you? Do you mind me?"

"I…"

Ning Xi was at a loss for words.

She tightened her mouth, biting down on the candy, the sound like a little mouse sneaking a snack.

Want to eat the candy she's eaten?

Dream on!!!

Not giving it to you…

Seeing the candy was swallowed by Ning Xi, Ye Fan's smile grew even brighter. He gently poked her hand with his finger and whispered, "After eating my candy, you have to promise me one thing."

"..."

Ning Xi was dumbfounded.

What are you waiting for? Do you dare to be any more shameless?

If she could, she would spit the candy out. No need for such tricks; this is too unfair!

Regarding Ning Xi's murderous gaze, Ye Fan remained oblivious, continuing, "You clearly agreed to accompany me shopping yesterday. Since I took you to see Teacher Gu, you went back on your word."

"As compensation, you have to take me shopping this weekend."

"Hmm?"

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Ning Xi felt a bit surprised. She thought Ye Fan would make an excessive request, but it was just this. She lowered her head and thought for a moment before responding softly, "Okay, I'll accompany you shopping this weekend."

As Ye Fan said, it was because of her that the original shopping plan was delayed. Out of consideration for feelings and logic, she felt she needed to compensate Ye Fan, so she agreed readily.

"Then it's settled, no backing out," Ye Fan reminded her uneasily.

"Hmm."

Ning Xi nodded slightly and softly said, "Don't worry; a woman's word is as good as a horse's."

Ye Fan glanced towards the front of the classroom and, seeing that no one was paying attention, quickly patted Ning Xi's head, correcting, "It's a gentleman's word is as good as a horse's."

"You…"

Ning Xi waved her fist, wanting to hit Ye Fan, but fearing being seen, hesitated for a moment and ultimately gave up on the thought. She turned her head away and said, "I want to, what's wrong with that? Can't a woman be a gentleman?"

"And, don't do this in the classroom; what if someone sees? This is the last time!"

"Okay."

Ye Fan laughed happily and extended his hand towards Ning Xi, asking, "Did you do the test paper last night?"

Ning Xi noticed the cherry hair tie on Ye Fan's wrist, her eyes went blank, and she didn't know what she thought of, her face flushed slightly. She mumbled, "...I did."

She turned her head to look out the window, her small hand rummaging through her desk before pulling out a math test paper. Without looking at it, she placed it in front of Ye Fan, saying, "Here, for you."

Ye Fan's lips curled into a charming arc, his long black hair shading his eyebrows as he began to read the test paper. When he focused, he had a unique charm.

Ning Xi seized the opportunity to steal a glance, her blush deepening, and her heart raced faster.

Damn it!

This guy is so handsome…

Ye Fan noticed the girl's little actions, his eyes flickering, but he didn't address it, continuing to grade the test paper.

Want to watch?

That's a good thing!

After all, sooner or later, he would be this girl's person… Hmm? Why does it feel like something's not right?…

With only two minutes before class started, Ye Fan returned the test paper to Ning Xi and praised her, saying, "You did well. Your math level has now reached a very good standard. If you do one test paper every day to maintain your state, I will explain any problems to you right away."

"…Hmm."

Looking at the score on the test paper, Ning Xi smiled happily.

150 points!

Finally, her efforts during this time paid off. She really liked this feeling of progress, full of motivation.

Ye Fan admired the girl's beautiful smile, his sword-like eyebrows raised, and said, "Xiao Xi, let's set a goal, shall we?"

"What goal?" Ning Xi asked, confused.

"The college entrance examination goal."

"You, you say…"

For some reason, after hearing the words "college entrance examination goal," Ning Xi felt inexplicably nervous, but more than that was anticipation, waiting for Ye Fan's next words.

"Very simple."

Noticing the look of expectation in the girl's eyes, Ye Fan smiled, his smile pure, and said, "Make it onto the Genius List!"

Just five simple words made Ning Xi's body tremble. She couldn't help but swallow hard, her tone filled with insecurity, "I, I can't…"

Get on the Genius List?

She had never had this thought or ambition. She was never the type to be overly ambitious; she couldn't even get first place at Zhenhua. Plus, with this year's nationwide exam, all the genius students across the country were gathered together, competing on the same stage.

And the Genius List only had a hundred spots.

Could she do it?

She felt like it might be a bit too much…

"You can!"

Ye Fan's smile faded, his voice deep and powerful: "You are Ning Xi, Ning Xi can absolutely do it!"

"..."

Ning Xi pouted her little face and shook her head repeatedly, "How about changing to another goal for the college entrance examination? This… really can't be done."

"Xiao Xi."

"Hmm?"

"You really can do it!"

Ye Fan looked at Ning Xi seriously and said, "Believe me, you can. Failure is not scary; what's scary is when you don't believe in yourself. As long as you want to, and keep wanting to, you can do anything. Understand?"

Ning Xi stared blankly at Ye Fan, her mind swaying.

Ye Fan's words weren't that important; the key was his tone, which made her feel like she could really do it. This feeling of being unconditionally believed in by someone… was so good.

"Dingling—"

The school bell interrupted the girl's thoughts. Her small face flushed red as she realized her embarrassment and quickly covered her face with her cold little hands to cool down. Her lips moved slightly, "I… will work hard."

Ye Fan chuckled, his gaze warm and deep.

It seems that his little pep talk wasn't in vain. This girl had a somewhat submissive personality; he needed to give her some motivation to build her confidence. Once she had confidence, everything would become possible.

Never retreat, confidence is the peak!

The morning passed quickly. When the bell rang for the end of the fourth class, the students rushed out, headed for the cafeteria.

"Xiao Xi, let's go eat."

"I'm not going."

Ning Xi said seriously while working on her test paper, not lifting her head, "You go eat, it's fine. Don't wait for me; I want to do problems. Don't persuade me; it's settled like this."

Since she set the goal for the college entrance examination, she had to work even harder. What she promised had to be done with all her effort.

Getting on the Genius List sounded easy to say but was as difficult as climbing to the heavens. Ning Xi was well aware of this, so she had to devote all her time to studying and couldn't waste a single moment.

Want to succeed? Go crazy first, and make a firm decision to push forward!
