Chapter 179: You can't... set your sights on Ye Fan!

"Phew——"

The quiet atmosphere was broken by the sound of an exhale.

When the cool feeling faded away, Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes. A hint of wisdom shone through, and everything in front of him became clearer.

His thoughts turned.

Instantly, the ideas that had just emerged in his mind quickly broke down, revealing corresponding answers.

This strange sensation made Ye Fan inwardly click his tongue.

So...

Terrifying!!!

This fourth-level intelligence seemed far more exaggerated than he had imagined. The activity level of his brain molecules had increased by at least nearly double.

To experiment with the specific effects, Ye Fan went to the bedroom, picked up a book, and sat down at the computer desk to read.

Thirty-two minutes later, the system's sweet voice echoed in Ye Fan's mind.

"Complete book reading, experience points +30."

"Hiss!"

Ye Fan gasped sharply. Judging by his current reading efficiency, the improvement was not just double—it was at least three or four times.

Whoa——

And this was only fourth-level intelligence. If intelligence reached level ten, how monstrous would that be?

Unimaginable!!!

"Gurgle…"

While Ye Fan was still fantasizing, the protest from his stomach pulled him back to reality.

Fine.

Food above all else.

"Foodies are humans on top; food is life; foodies reign supreme. Time to eat, time to eat!"

…

"Good morning."

Ye Fan greeted Ning Xi, sat down, and started taking things out of his backpack. First was a thermos, then warm milk, and finally the book he planned to read today.

"Milk?"

Ning Xi froze for a moment and pushed the milk back to him. "Drinking milk makes me gain weight. You drink it."

"Gaining weight is great."

Ye Fan hung up his backpack and sent the milk back to Ning Xi. "Look at you—what have you become now? You must gain some weight!"

"No."

"Yes!"

Seeing Ye Fan being so insistent, Ning Xi helplessly lowered her little head and muttered, "I feel pretty good now. I even think I'm a bit chubby—not skinny at all. Don't force me to drink milk."

"A bit chubby?"

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow. "Do me a favor and look in the mirror—doesn't your conscience hurt saying that?"

"Pfft——"

Ning Xi covered her mouth, laughing nonstop. "Aiya, I really won't drink it. Even if you make flowers bloom from your words, I won't drink it."

Her daughter-like demeanor, paired with those two crescent moon-like eyes, was stunningly beautiful.

Ye Fan frowned and looked at Ning Xi with a smile. "Yesterday you still owed me a favor. My condition is that you must unconditionally drink the milk I bring you every day."

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Ning Xi's face fell. Under the desk, her small hand tugged on Ye Fan's arm as she softly begged, "Teacher Ye, please, don't dwell on this. Change it, pick something else."

"No, just this."

Ye Fan's lips curled discreetly, but he still cruelly refused. "It's settled. If you don't drink it, you're breaking your word. It's up to you."

"You…"

Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, Ning Xi scrunched her delicate nose, made a clawing gesture, and said, "You have no idea how hard losing weight is. Have some sympathy for me, okay?"

"Mm, keep going."

"…"

Ye Fan's eyes held a smile as he picked up the milk and inserted the straw. "Be good—drink more milk, and you'll grow taller."

"Liar!"

Ning Xi pouted her red lips and muttered softly, "I'm not a child anymore. I'm as tall as I'll ever be. Drinking milk won't change that."

"Xiao Xi."

"Hmm?"

"Did you eat up all the cuteness in the world?"

"Nonsense!"

Ning Xi huffed, but she obediently took the milk and began drinking. She didn't want to be someone who broke their word.

Fine, she'd drink it.

At worst, she'd run a bit longer on the treadmill when she got home tonight.

Hmph!

For every policy, there's a countermeasure!!!

Seeing Ning Xi being so obedient, the smile on Ye Fan's face grew even deeper. He gazed at her for a moment before finally pulling his eyes away. Just as he picked up a book but hadn't yet opened it, a commotion came from outside the classroom.

"Wow, Keke is here!"

While drinking milk, Ning Xi became incredibly excited when she saw Su Ke at the door. She stood up, waved toward Su Ke, and called, "Keke, over here."

Seeing Ning Xi, Su Ke beamed with joy, carrying her review materials as she walked to the back of the classroom. She placed her materials in the second-to-last row. "Xiao Xi, we can fight side by side again."

She hadn't performed well on the first mock test. Otherwise, she would have joined the advanced class long ago.

Thankfully, in the second mock test, she maintained her usual standard and finally made it into the Qingda sprint class.

As for Luo Yumeng, she was left alone in Class Two.

"Keep it up!"

"Drink your milk."

Ye Fan suddenly reminded her.

"Got it!"

Ning Xi shot Ye Fan a disgruntled look before continuing to drink her milk.

Ye Fan nodded at Su Ke as a greeting and said, "The sprint class only has twenty days left. Xiao Xi took notes for previous lessons. You can look at them when you have time—it'll help."

"Thank you."

Su Ke nodded politely, a hint of surprise in her eyes. Seeing Ye Fan lower his head to read, she glanced at Ning Xi, giving her a meaningful look.

The two girls bent down and began whispering.

"Xiao Xi, you and Ye Fan…"

"Just good friends!"

Hearing this, Ning Xi's hand holding the milk trembled slightly as she quickly answered.

Her overly defensive reaction made Su Ke's imagination run wild. She teased in a low voice, "Xiao Xi, do you really have no other thoughts about Ye Fan?"

"After all, Ye Fan has such good grades, he's so handsome, and he's so considerate of you. If I were you, I would've long been moved enough to offer myself to him. I don't believe you're not tempted."

"I…"

Ning Xi opened her mouth, her face flushing with embarrassment. "Keke, if you want to offer yourself to him, go ahead. You just know how to tease me!"

"Really?"

Su Ke gave a playful smile and deliberately said, "Such a perfect boyfriend candidate. If you don't want him, I'll go for it."

"No…"

Ning Xi's expression tightened, and she bit the straw so hard that it broke. Milk slowly dripped from the broken part, falling onto her white pants.

Although the girls had lowered their voices, Ye Fan still heard everything. Noticing the spilled milk, he took out a tissue, crouched down, and began wiping it.

Seeing this, Su Ke couldn't help but shake her head and click her tongue. "So warm. Ye Fan, why don't you consider me instead? Since Xiao Xi doesn't like you, just settle for me. Take me in."

"I can cook, clean, and keep you warm in bed. I'm a loli, a queen, and a sweetheart all in one!"

After speaking, she gave Ning Xi a meaningful look.

"No way!"

Ning Xi's expression grew defensive, and her tone was surprisingly firm. "You can't…"

"Can't what?"

"You can't… have your eyes on Ye Fan!"
