Chapter 308: This little thing is so naughty!
"It's alright, a low ranking is perfectly normal. After all, your foundation wasn't that great before. Making it into the top ten thousand is already nothing short of a miracle, don't be embarrassed."
As he spoke, Luo Shan continued scrubbing the dishes, waiting for Ye Fan to continue.
"Ahem—"
Ye Fan coughed, glanced at the porcelain plate in Luo Shan's hand, and suggested, "Uncle, I think you'd better put the plate down first. Otherwise, I'm afraid it might suffer a shattering disaster."
"What?"
Luo Shan was confused, completely unaware of what he meant.
Ye Fan sighed helplessly and said, "In the three national joint exams, I ranked first every time and got 30 bonus points for the college entrance examination. I haven't had a chance to tell my mom yet. Uncle, you can let her know tonight."
Crack—
Luo Shan turned to stone. The porcelain plate in his hand slipped off on its own and shattered into pieces in the sink.
At that moment, his brain stopped functioning.
Ye Fan wasn't surprised at all. He glanced at the broken plate and silently thought, "Sorry, I did my best!"
Luo Shan stood frozen for more than ten seconds before he snapped out of it, his voice instantly rising by eight decibels, "Xiao Fan, what—what did you just say?!"
"First place?!"
"Mm."
"..."
......
In the living room.
Luo Shan and Ye Xian sat together, while Ye Fan and Ning Xi sat opposite them. The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
"Xiao Fan, speak."
Ye Xian took the initiative to break the quiet. Her gaze was full of disbelief. The news her husband had just told her in the room still hadn't sunk in.
Three consecutive first-place rankings in national joint exams?
30 bonus points for the college entrance exam?
These words kept stimulating her nerves non-stop.
Ye Fan spread his hands and asked knowingly, "Mom, what do you want me to say?"
"..."
"..."
Ye Xian and Luo Shan were both speechless.
Ning Xi looked left and right, completely clueless about what had happened.
Ye Xian's mouth twitched, and she said crossly, "Your uncle said you ranked first three times in the national joint exams and got 30 bonus points— is that true?"
"It's true."
Ye Fan smiled and pointed at Ning Xi, "Xiao Xi knows about it too. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xian and Luo Shan both looked at Ning Xi.
Seeing this, Ning Xi nodded lightly and softly explained, "Auntie, Uncle; this is indeed true. Didn't Ge… Ye Fan tell you?"
Even Ning Xi said so, and Ye Xian already believed it in her heart. She looked extremely displeased at her son, "Told us? This brat didn't even mention it once!"
Even Luo Shan, who usually had a good-guy image, looked displeased.
Such great news, yet he and his wife were completely left in the dark. The college entrance exam had already ended, and they were only learning about it now...
Ye Fan gently squeezed Ning Xi's small hand, his lips twitching, "Xiao Xi, don't sell me out!"
"Hmm?"
At once, Ning Xi understood everything. Her eyes sparkled mischievously as she blinked, "Ye Fan, how could you not tell Uncle and Auntie such big news? That's not right."
Ye Fan: "..."
It's over!
This little girl's gone bad!
Ye Xian gritted her teeth and stared at her son, questioning, "You got such good results, and you couldn't tell me? Just to make your mom happy?"
"Ahem, ahem—"
Ye Fan scratched his hands awkwardly and gave a dry laugh, "Mom, I was thinking of telling you after the college entrance exam results came out, to surprise you."
"Like hell I believe that!"
Ye Xian didn't believe it at all. Since childhood, her son had always been independent—especially after she remarried. He rarely came home.
When it came to his grades, she could only call the teachers to find out.
But what she couldn't wrap her head around was—her son's grades had always been at the bottom of the class. So how did he suddenly…
Rank first nationally three times in a row?
Fantasy!
Absurd!!
Ridiculous!!!
At this moment, Ye Xian couldn't help but recall what her son had said during their last trip to the imperial capital. Could it be that during his time at No. 2 High School, this brat had been pretending all along?
And the reason for pretending was just to transfer schools?
Looking at it now, that seemed like the only explanation!
Watching the frustrated Ye Fan, Ning Xi's lips curled into a smile, her eyes forming crescent moons. Afraid Ye Fan would notice, she quickly turned her head to the side, but her constantly trembling shoulders betrayed her.
None of this escaped Ye Fan's eyes. His eyelids twitched wildly.
This little thing is way too naughty!
Seeing her son staying silent, Ye Xian couldn't hold it in anymore. The anger on her face faded, replaced by boundless joy. "Adding 30 points for the college entrance exam—my goodness; son, which university did you apply to?"
"Qingda."
The other three answered in unison.
Ye Xian: "..."
Good grief, so she was the last one to know?
But she couldn't care less about that now. She muttered to herself, "Adding 30 points to the exam… In past years, Qingda's admission cutoff was around 705 points. That means if Xiao Fan gets at least 675 points, he can get into Qingda!"
As she said this, she couldn't help exclaiming, "Is a Qingda top student about to appear in the Ye family? Oh my god!"
Could her son get 675 points on the college entrance exam?
To this question, Ye Xian already had an answer in her heart.
Yes!
Three consecutive first-place rankings in national exams—definitely not a fluke. That's real, undeniable strength!
Sitting beside her, Luo Shan was thinking of something else. He asked tentatively, "Xiao Fan, have you ever thought about aiming for the Genius Ranking?"
Upon hearing the words "Genius Ranking," Ye Xian's eyes lit up.
Before, neither of them dared think in that direction. But now…
Ye Fan smiled calmly, glancing at the girl who was still holding back laughter.
"Xiao Xi."
"Mm?"
Ning Xi turned her blushing face, her starry eyes shimmering.
She hadn't done anything, yet still looked breathtakingly beautiful. Ye Fan couldn't help being stunned, bitterly smiling in his heart. Faced with such a girl, he truly had no way of resisting. Even though she'd just teased him, he couldn't stay mad.
"Uncle's question—why don't you answer it?"
"Me?"
Ning Xi pointed her slender finger at her nose, then politely nodded to Luo Shan and Ye Xian. Her soft voice sounded: "Uncle, Auntie; Ye Fan and I had always aimed for the Genius Ranking. Plus, we both have bonus points. Barring any accidents, we should both be able to make it onto the Genius Ranking."
Her gentle voice stunned both of them.
Barring any accidents, they should both be able to make it?
So confident...
More importantly, they picked up another detail from Ning Xi's words.
That is—Ning Xi also got bonus points?
Ye Xian and Luo Shan exchanged a very meaningful glance, remaining silent for a long time.
Today's surprises were far too many—so many that they didn't dare believe it!
