LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 45 I’ll listen to you
Facing Ye Fan's question, Luo Yumeng froze, and then her face flushed with embarrassment.
What a question...
"I..."
Her face turned red with anger. She gritted her teeth and glared at Ye Fan. "You... you're going too far!"
Ye Fan's expression didn't change. He said with a chuckle, "Don't misunderstand, I was just asking casually. I didn't pay attention when the teacher announced the scores earlier, I was just curious."
"Besides, the monthly exam scores aren't a secret, don't be embarrassed, tell me."
"I..."
"Pfft!"
Seeing Luo Yumeng's flustered look, Ning Xi and Su Ke exchanged glances, their eyes filled with amusement.
"You're laughing too?!"
Luo Yumeng scowled and glared at Ning Xi. "Especially you, keep Ye Fan in check!"
With that, she stood up and left this place of heartbreak.
Su Ke covered her mouth and chuckled, then followed suit.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to tease Ning Xi, mimicking Luo Yumeng's tone. "Keep Ye Fan in check!"
"..."
Ning Xi blushed, her small hands nervously twisting the corner of her clothes. She explained in a soft voice, "Um... Ye Fan, don't misunderstand, Yumeng and Xiao Ke often say things without thinking, don't... don't take it to heart."
"Okay."
The corners of Ye Fan's lips curled up slightly as he said in a low voice, "I'll listen to you, I won't take it to heart."
"..."
Ning Xi's eyes widened, her face burning.
Logically speaking, she should be relieved that Ye Fan wasn't taking it to heart.
But...
Why did his words sound so strange~~~
What did he mean by "listening to her"?
Wasn't this confirming what Luo Yumeng had just said...
Ahhhhh—!!!
......
"Ring!"
As the bell rang for class, Yang Ting walked into the classroom. She cleared her throat and said loudly, "I have an announcement. The list for the Tsinghua University Elite Class has been decided. I'll now announce the selected students."
"Ye Fan."
"Present."
"Ning Xi."
"Present."
"Deng Yu."
"Present."
Yang Ting nodded slightly. "After school, the three of you pack your things, and I'll take you to the Elite Class to confirm your seats. Starting tomorrow, your three main subjects, Chinese, math, and English, will be held there."
"As for physics, chemistry, and biology, you'll still have those classes in our class. I'll give each of you a timetable after school."
Envy flashed in the eyes of many students.
The Tsinghua University Elite Class... tsk tsk!
With three retired professors from Tsinghua University, the teaching staff was far superior to those so-called golden cram schools.
Why weren't they good enough?
They were so envious!
Otherwise, they might have been able to join too.
Sad, mushroom...
"Teacher!"
Just as Yang Ting finished her announcement, Su Ke raised her hand and stood up.
"What is it?"
Facing Yang Ting's puzzled gaze, Su Ke hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Besides this monthly exam, is there any other way to join the Tsinghua University Elite Class?"
She didn't want to give up on this opportunity.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Yang Ting's face. After Su Ke asked, many students showed interest, and she saw it clearly.
"There is actually a way."
Those five simple words piqued everyone's curiosity.
"Wow, there's another way?"
"Awesome!"
"No, I have to join no matter what!"
...
Listening to the students' whispers, Yang Ting knocked on the podium and announced, "There will be two more mock exams. After discussion, the top student from each class can join the Tsinghua University Elite Class."
"In other words, you still have two more chances. Good luck!"
"Let's begin class."
......
The bell rang for the end of school, and the students left with their backpacks.
In the blink of an eye, only Ye Fan, Ning Xi, and Deng Yu remained in the classroom.
"Can you explain this step again?"
Ning Xi pointed to the math problem on the scratch paper with her delicate finger and said softly, "I don't quite understand it."
"Sure."
Seeing Ning Xi's seriousness, Ye Fan chuckled softly. "Xiao Xi, look at the last question of this problem, combining the second step of the first question..."
Deng Yu, sitting in the front row, felt a tightness in his chest, his face darkened as if someone owed him eight million yuan.
Why?
Why was this guy not only handsome but also so good at studying???
Life was so unfair!!!
Yang Ting walked to the door and glanced into the classroom. "You three, come with me."
Hearing this, the three of them gathered their things... or rather, Ye Fan gathered his and Ning Xi's things and followed Yang Ting upstairs.
"Ye Fan, give me my things, I can carry them."
"No."
"...Give them to me."
"No."
"..."
The teaching building had five floors. Class 2, Science Stream, was on the fourth floor, and the fifth floor was not in use.
The school had specially renovated a classroom on the fifth floor for the Elite Class.
As they entered the classroom, there were already quite a few students inside, apparently all the students selected for the Tsinghua University Elite Class.
Fifteen boys, three girls.
A sausage fest.
Among the three girls, Ye Fan recognized one.
Su Qiaoyu.
At this moment, several boys were standing next to her seat, chatting with her.
Su Qiaoyu either responded with a simple "hmm" or smiled without saying a word, her gentle aura radiating outwards.
As Ye Fan and the other two entered the classroom, it suddenly became quiet, and many eyes were on them.
Of course, most of the gazes were fixed on Ning Xi.
No way around it.
Before Ning Xi arrived, Su Qiaoyu was undoubtedly the best deskmate candidate in the eyes of the boys.
But with Ning Xi's arrival, most of the boys instantly changed their target.
Ning Xi's beautiful face, coupled with her gentle temperament, was far more attractive than Su Qiaoyu.
Although they were in the same school, Ning Xi was usually very low-key, coming to school early and leaving late, so many students had only seen her a few times. That was why she was ranked as the second-school beauty.
Now, seeing Ning Xi up close, these boys' eyes lit up, like wolves who had spotted their prey, almost howling.
Sensing these burning gazes, Ye Fan stepped forward, blocking Ning Xi behind him.
Yang Ting didn't notice this and turned to the three of them. "This is it. Find yourselves a seat and remember to clean up a bit. A professor will come over later to take a look, so behave yourselves."
With that, she turned and left.
There were many empty seats in the classroom. There were only twenty-one students in the Tsinghua University Elite Class, so they could choose their seats freely. This was good news for Ye Fan.
He turned to Ning Xi and asked, "Do you want to sit in the front or the back?"
"The back."
Ning Xi thought for a moment and gave her answer.
She didn't like the way these boys looked at her. It was very repulsive!
Sitting in the back would save her from this trouble.
"Okay."
Ye Fan had expected this answer.
He carried the mountain of review materials and walked toward the back of the classroom.
Ning Xi followed behind Ye Fan with her head lowered.
When they reached the third row, a boy wearing glasses suddenly stood up and greeted Ning Xi.
"Hello, Ning Xi. I'm Tang Zhengxu from Class 1, Liberal Arts Stream. There's an empty seat here. I have a lot of math questions and I'd like to ask for your guidance as a math whiz, is that okay?"
