Chapter 46: Like to reason?
"Mmm..."
At this moment, all the boys in the classroom except Ye Fan cursed inwardly.
Did he have no shame?
What guidance? It was complete bullshit!
As fellow males, they were all too familiar with Tang Zhengxu's intentions.
With a face like a car crash, where did he get the courage from?
Damn it!
Ning Xi paused, and glanced at Tang Zhengxu, who was smiling and couldn't help but look at Ye Fan for help.
Ye Fan placed his books on the last desk in the classroom and walked over to Ning Xi unhurriedly. Glancing at Tang Zhengxu, he said calmly, "Sorry, Ning Xi is already spoken for."
"..."
Ning Xi glared at Ye Fan, feeling a bit annoyed.
What did he mean by "spoken for"?
She wasn't some object...
But seeing that Ye Fan was helping her out, she could only pretend she didn't hear him.
"Who are you?"
Tang Zhengxu frowned, his face showing displeasure.
Ning Xi had looked like she might agree just now, but this guy suddenly jumped out, clearly trying to disrupt his plans.
"Me?"
Ye Fan pointed to himself, the corners of his mouth turning upwards. "Let me introduce myself, I'm Ye Fan, Ning Xi's deskmate."
"..."
"..."
Hearing this, all the boys' mouths twitched.
This guy was even more ruthless!
He directly confirmed his status as Ning Xi's deskmate...
They could play this game too?!
"Are you also from Class 2, Science Stream?"
Tang Zhengxu's eyes turned hostile, his voice full of animosity.
"What else would I be?"
Ye Fan retorted.
A glint flashed in Tang Zhengxu's eyes, then a smile spread across his face. He adjusted his glasses and said, "Since you can join the Tsinghua Elite Class, it means you're very good at math."
"You and Ning Xi sitting together wouldn't be complementary. Why don't you find a student from the liberal arts class? You can help them improve their math, and they can help you improve your Chinese."
"It's the same for me and Ning Xi. This way, all four of us can benefit. I believe Ye Fan wouldn't refuse such a good deal, right?"
"Hiss!"
After Tang Zhengxu finished speaking, many boys gasped.
Damn—
This guy's eloquence... was impressive!!!
He could spout such grand principles so easily.
Ye Fan's eyes flashed with surprise. For a seventeen or eighteen-year-old to have such clear thinking and even use pressure tactics was rare!
Unfortunately, he had met his match.
After all, Ye Fan was the boss of a company worth hundreds of millions in his previous life. Although Ning Xi might have helped him, he wouldn't have been able to lead the company to success without some skills of his own.
He was completely unfazed by Tang Zhengxu's petty tricks and said calmly, "Why did you join the Tsinghua Elite Class?"
"..."
Hearing Ye Fan's seemingly irrelevant question, Tang Zhengxu was a little surprised and subconsciously replied, "Of course, it's to improve my Chinese, math, and English."
"Hmm."
Ye Fan continued, "Why do you think you can improve your Chinese, math, and English in the Tsinghua Elite Class?"
"Are you kidding me?!"
Tang Zhengxu's voice carried a hint of impatience. "Don't you even know that? Now I'm wondering how you even got into the Tsinghua Elite Class!"
"The three teachers the school hired for the Tsinghua Elite Class are all retired professors from Tsinghua University. Do I really need to explain their teaching abilities to you?"
"With the guidance of three Tsinghua University professors, our Chinese, math, and English will improve. Even an elementary school student can understand this, you're a high school student, how can you not understand?"
Laughter broke out in the classroom.
Compared to Tang Zhengxu, Ye Fan was still too inexperienced!
Everyone's attention was on Ye Fan, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Su Qiaoyu frowned slightly, confusion in her eyes.
She didn't understand why Ye Fan would ask such a question.
Such a simple truth, Ye Fan couldn't possibly not know...
"Ye Fan."
Ning Xi tugged on Ye Fan's sleeve gently and whispered, "Let's go arrange our seats."
She wanted to help Ye Fan out of this awkward situation.
Sensing the girl's little action, Ye Fan smiled slightly and his lips moved.
"Don't worry."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Tang Zhengxu and said, "Classmate, you seem to have misunderstood."
"The reason I asked is because I wanted to know if you knew."
"Boo~~~"
A chorus of boos erupted in the classroom.
Obviously, no one believed him. They all thought Ye Fan was just trying to cover up his embarrassment.
Tang Zhengxu sneered and spread his hands at Ye Fan, as if to say, "See? No one believes you."
But Ye Fan wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "You just said that with the guidance of three Tsinghua University professors, our Chinese, math, and English will definitely improve, right?"
"Of course!"
Tang Zhengxu nodded confidently.
Ye Fan also nodded, the smile on his face growing wider. "In that case, does it matter who you sit with? Or is there something you can't ask the Tsinghua University professors for help with that Ning Xi can help you with?"
"Even if there is, it's definitely not a study-related problem. And if it's not a study-related problem, Ning Xi has no obligation and no reason to help you."
"Because Ning Xi doesn't even know you, am I right?"
"..."
"..."
Unknowingly, the dominance of the conversation had shifted to Ye Fan's hands.
"You..."
Tang Zhengxu opened his mouth, but he couldn't find any words to refute for a moment.
A faint smile appeared on Ye Fan's face, and he continued, "And most importantly, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Ning Xi is so beautiful, naturally, she should sit with me."
"With you? Haha—"
"Alright, I'm done. Do you have anything else to say?"
"I..."
Tang Zhengxu was speechless, his acne-covered face turning the color of pig liver.
"It seems you have nothing to say."
Ye Fan turned to Ning Xi and winked. "It's settled, let's go arrange our seats."
"Oh... okay."
Ning Xi nodded dumbly, her eyes fixed, as obedient as a little rabbit.
At this moment, only three words were in her mind.
He's so awesome...
"Hiss—"
"Hiss—"
Gasps of surprise sounded throughout the classroom.
As the saying goes, there's always someone better, and there's always a higher sky.
This was indeed true!
Impeccable logic, clear thinking, sharp words...
Oh my God!
After witnessing Ye Fan's rebuttal...
Everyone was amazed!
Looking at the calm and composed Ye Fan, they couldn't help but click their tongues in admiration.
He hadn't used a single curse word, yet he had left Tang Zhengxu speechless.
And in the end, he even managed to throw in a bit of sarcasm.
Simply... perfect!
This was a true boss!!!
Ye Fan didn't care about the gazes directed at him. He took a tissue, wet it with some water, and started wiping the desk.
He liked to reason.
Okay!
He was the most reasonable person...
