Chapter 284 Destined
"Mom, get in the car first. I'll tell you something amazing in a bit."
"What is it?"
Seeing her daughter's mysterious expression, Lan Xi's curiosity was successfully piqued.
Ning Xi smiled, her eyes sparkling. "Get in the car first, then I'll tell you."
As she spoke, she pulled her mother into the car.
Just before getting in, she turned her head and blinked at Ye Fan, who was still standing there, speaking softly, "Brother... Ye Fan, why are you standing there in a daze?"
"Coming."
Ye Fan snapped back to reality, a knowing smile appearing on his face.
Right now, as long as his thoughts settled, he couldn't help but recall the moment when Ning Xi took the initiative to hug him.
Originally, Ye Fan had shamelessly wanted to squeeze into the back seat, but he was sent to the front passenger seat by a single glare from Ning Xi.
Seeing this, Zhuang Li couldn't help but snicker, discreetly winking as if to say, "Serves you right!"
Ye Fan shrugged helplessly and simply turned his gaze to the window.
The car started.
Sitting in the back, Lan Xi held her daughter's hand, quite curious as she asked, "Xiao Xi, didn't you say you had something to tell me just now? What is it?"
Hearing this, Ning Xi glanced at Ye Fan in the front seat, then leaned in close to her mother's ear and whispered, "Mom, today we took the Chinese and Math exams. The past few days, when Ye Fan was tutoring me, he predicted a lot of the questions."
"Today's essay topic, as well as the last big question on the math paper, were both exactly what Ye Fan predicted."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Lan Xi's mouth dropped open, her face filled with shock. She couldn't help but glance at Ye Fan in the passenger seat, muttering, "Is he really that amazing?"
Guessing the final big question on the math paper could still be reasonable.
But…
He even got the essay topic right?
His luck was simply off the charts!
After the initial shock came delight.
Lan Xi was well aware of how advantageous it was to predict the exam questions correctly. It was practically the same as taking an open-book test. Her voice couldn't help but rise.
"Ye Fan, it seems you have quite the knack for predicting exam questions. Tonight, you and Xiao Xi should study together again and try to predict a few questions for tomorrow's science exam."
"Every correct prediction will be crucial for both of you."
"Alright."
Ye Fan nodded in agreement.
Even if Lan Xi hadn't said anything, he would have done it anyway.
Although this didn't benefit him at all, for Ning Xi, it was a huge help.
As long as he could help Ning Xi, no matter how troublesome it was, Ye Fan wouldn't hesitate to do it.
The car pulled into the villa's courtyard.
As soon as Ye Fan got out, he saw Ning Xiangtian standing at the door. With a smile, he nodded and said, "Uncle, today's exam went well. Xiao Xi and I both performed quite well."
"Mm."
Ning Xiangtian nodded kindly and said, "Come inside, dinner is ready."
Ye Fan was surprised.
To be honest, he wasn't used to Ning Xiangtian's attitude!
Ning Xi and Lan Xi walked over hand in hand, standing together like a pair of beautiful sisters.
The only difference was that Ning Xi's features were more delicate and adorable, her skin was in better condition, and she had a youthful radiance that Lan Xi lacked.
"Dad, why didn't you come see me at noon today?"
As soon as she saw her father, Ning Xi immediately started questioning him. She hadn't seen him at noon, and to be honest, she felt a little disappointed, though she didn't show it.
"Ahem—"
Ning Xiangtian looked embarrassed, completely losing the aura of a business tycoon. He rubbed his hands together and explained, "Xiao Xi, I originally planned to go with your mom, but just before noon, something urgent came up and I got held up."
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll definitely be there to cheer you on."
"Alright then, I forgive you."
Seeing her father's sincere explanation, Ning Xi covered her mouth and giggled. She let go of her mother, turned around, and clung to her father's arm.
"Then it's a deal. Tomorrow, you have to come cheer for me, okay? No breaking your promise."
"Of course!"
Ning Xiangtian sighed in relief, his eyes filled with doting fatherly love.
When Ye Fan saw the look in Ning Xiangtian's eyes, his expression suddenly became strange.
That gaze…
Why did it look so familiar?
It was just like…
His own!
Lan Xi chuckled. "Don't just stand at the door chatting, come inside."
—
After dinner, Ye Fan returned to his room alone.
He took out his phone and called his mother, saying a few reassuring words. Then, he took a cold shower, instantly washing away the fatigue of the day.
Around seven in the evening, Ye Fan went to the study, but he didn't see Ning Xi.
However, he wasn't in a hurry. He sat alone at the desk, found some past science exam papers from previous years, and started reviewing them.
He read and took notes.
Unknowingly, more than half an hour passed.
At around 7:20 PM.
Just as Ye Fan was about to pick up a new exam paper to analyze, a delicate fragrance filled his nose.
Then, a pair of soft hands gently covered his eyes.
The cool and smooth sensation, combined with the familiar scent, made him immediately guess who it was.
"I'm guessing... you're Xiao Xi."
"You..."
Standing behind Ye Fan, Ning Xi rolled her eyes playfully and pouted, "I haven't even asked yet, and you're already answering? What a cheater!"
She let go of his eyes, pulled over a chair, and sat beside him. A few strands of her slightly damp hair fell over her chest.
Her simple nightdress outlined a stunning silhouette, and the fair skin exposed outside was breathtaking.
Ye Fan pinched the adorable face so close to him.
The soft and bouncy feeling made him reluctant to let go, and he couldn't help but praise, "Xiao Xi, your face is so addictively soft."
"Get lost!"
Ning Xi's cheeks turned pink, and she scolded playfully, "If you want to pinch something, pinch your own face!"
Saying that, she gently swatted away Ye Fan's hand and turned her gaze to the scattered draft papers on the desk.
"Brother, are you working on science questions?"
"Yeah."
Ye Fan smiled and explained, "This year, the national standardized exam is being implemented, so the difficulty level will likely be much higher than in previous years. I'm just trying to gather some harder questions and filter through them."
Ning Xi propped her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and blinked her clear eyes.
"Can I help?"
"No need."
Ye Fan picked up his phone from the desk and placed it in Ning Xi's hands, smiling lightly.
"Play on your phone for a bit. I'll finish soon, and then I'll explain the key points to you."
Ning Xi froze for a few seconds before silently putting the phone down.
Seeing this, Ye Fan chuckled softly and casually picked up a book from the desk, placing it in front of her.
Ning Xi's outstretched hand paused midair, and her eyes showed a hint of surprise.
She hadn't said anything, yet Ye Fan knew exactly what she was about to do.
And the book he placed in front of her was, among the dozens on the desk, the one she was most interested in.
Two people meeting was already a rare event.
As for a true connection of souls—
That was an even rarer miracle within a miracle.
It was as if…
Everything was destined!
