Chapter 137 Boyfriend or Girlfriend?

"Ahem!"

Ning Xiangtian's face darkened, and he turned to look at his wife, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

As expected, it must be that his wife was playing tricks on him again; this was not the first time something like this had happened.

Lan Xi laughed lightly, "What are you looking at me for?"

She sat beside her husband and poured him a glass of freshly squeezed juice, saying, "I'm not lying to you. These past two days, Xiao Xi has been asking when you'll come home, saying she has good news to tell you."

"And I didn't say Xiao Xi missed you; you thought too much."

"..."

Ning Xiang wore a bitter expression and said, "I say, can you two consider my feelings?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh. When their daughter was younger, she used to cling to him often, but as she grew up, she gradually became independent and began to talk back to him, influenced by her mother's personality.

He had no standing in this family!

Lan shou, xiang gu!

"Alright, hurry up and eat." Lan Xi scoffed.

"Wait a minute."

Ning Xi, who had just picked up her chopsticks, put them down again and walked to the other side of the dining table, her gaze serious. "Mom and Dad, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

Ning Xiangtian and Lan Xi said in unison.

Especially Lan Xi, her curiosity was bursting, eagerly anticipating what her daughter would say next.

Ning Xi organized her thoughts and said softly, "Last weekend, Ye Fan took me to Gu Yunjiu Duan's house, and I have already become his disciple."

"What?!"

Ning Xiangtian's eyes widened, and he stood up abruptly, incredulously saying, "Xiao Xi, what did you just say? Ye Fan knows Gu Yunjiu Duan? That's impossible!"

Lan Xi didn't speak, quietly waiting for her daughter's explanation.

She was also surprised, but due to her personality, she didn't like to show her emotions on her face.

"That's how it is!"

Ning Xi confirmed again, "I really have become Gu Yunjiu Duan's disciple; I'm not joking."

"Of course, all of this is because of Ye Fan, so this weekend, I want to invite Ye Fan out for dinner to thank him. I hope you'll agree."

Ning Xiangtian still didn't quite believe it, frowning and muttering to himself, "That kid is just a third-year high school student, and he's from out of town; how could he know Gu Yunjiu Duan?"

Lan Xi gently kicked her husband under the table and whispered, "You know what kind of person Xiao Xi is, right? If she says it's true, then it's definitely true."

After that, she nodded to her daughter and said, "Of course it's fine to invite Ye Fan for dinner. He helped us with such a big favor; we should thank him properly. I'll book a private room at Zhai Yaxuan for a nice dinner."

Upon hearing this, Ning Xi secretly glanced at her father and quietly said, "No, no need."

Her father didn't have a good attitude toward Ye Fan, and she felt that he would definitely be uncomfortable, so after hesitating a bit, she still declined her mother's suggestion.

Lan Xi was taken aback for a moment but quickly realized and smiled, nodding, "That's true; it's not appropriate for us older folks to tag along when you young people are having dinner. So, Mom will take care of reserving the place, is that okay?"

"Mm."

Ning Xi nodded, a hint of embarrassment in her expression. She looked at her father and said softly, "Dad, Teacher Gu Yun said I should focus on my studies first, and after the college entrance examination, I can go learn Go from him."

"Okay… that's very good."

Ning Xiangtian's brows knitted into a line; he rarely encountered something he couldn't understand, but this matter was definitely one of them.

A third-year high school student who transferred to the capital actually knows Gu Yunjiu Duan, who has lived in the capital for many years?

No matter how he looked at it, it didn't make sense!

Unless...

Ye Fan's parents were close friends with Gu Yun, otherwise, such a big thing as taking a disciple would not happen unless their relationship was quite good.

From these few interactions with Gu Yun, Ning Xiangtian had come to understand his temperament.

He was a very stubborn old man!

No matter how sincere his attitude or how high the price he offered, Gu Yun always refused outright, giving no hope whatsoever.

A glimmer of insight flashed in Ning Xiangtian's eyes, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

His daughter wanted to go out to eat with Ye Fan alone?

Let her go!

He didn't believe that, in the time it took to have a meal, Ye Fan could take his precious daughter away!

Anyway, during the tutoring sessions, they were also together, so what difference would this meal make!

Lan Xi waved her hand at her daughter, saying, "Come on, sit down and eat." As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and continued to serve food into her daughter's bowl.

Ning Xi raised her head, holding her forehead, her face full of helplessness.

Mom! Biological Mom!!!

There's no more room in the bowl, can we not serve more food?

The key point was that she was on a diet...

...

Wednesday morning.

When Ye Fan walked into the classroom, he noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat tense. After arriving at his seat, he handed a thermos to Ning Xi and curiously asked, "Xiao Xi, why does it feel like everyone is so tense? What happened?"

Ning Xi took the thermos and asked softly in return, "Did you not see the notice on the bulletin board when you entered school?"

"I didn't pay attention."

Ye Fan took a book from his backpack, shook his head and joked, "I was thinking about seeing you as soon as possible; how could I have the heart to look at the bulletin board?"

"Puh!"

Ning Xi spat softly, her cheeks flushing, her eyes filled with playful annoyance, "Don't joke around; this is the classroom; be serious."

Ye Fan blinked, smiling and said, "So you mean…"

"Not in the classroom either!"

Before Ye Fan could finish his sentence, Ning Xi interrupted.

Having interacted with Ye Fan for such a long time, she naturally knew what kind of person he was. If she gave this guy even a little opportunity, he would take advantage of it, so the best way was not to give him any chance at all.

Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders in defeat, helplessly sighing, "Xiao Xi, aren't we good friends anymore?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Ning Xi guessed what Ye Fan was about to say next, a charming smile on her face, "But even if we're good friends, we can't joke around like that; besides, we are still boyfriend and girlfriend…"

At this point, she suddenly fell silent, a blush rising to her cheeks.

Boyfriend and girlfriend?

Why does that sound strange…

"What's more?"

Ye Fan chuckled softly, pretending not to know, "I didn't hear clearly just now; can you say it again?"

"You…"

Ning Xi huffed, saying clearly, "What's more, we are still opposite-sex friends, and we must have boundaries in whatever we do. Things like holding hands and petting on the head that we did before are not allowed in the future."

"..."

At this point, Ye Fan was dumbfounded.

"Cough—"

How could Ye Fan possibly agree to something like that?

With his level three intelligence at play, his thoughts raced, and in just about a second, he laughed and said, "Xiao Xi, what exactly is on the bulletin board?"

Ning Xi pouted, her eyes filled with helplessness.

She knew perfectly well that Ye Fan was deliberately changing the subject, but what could she do?

"The bulletin board has…"
