Chapter 327 Arrival
"Then how about big brother sleeps with you?"
"No way!"
Ning Xi's cheeks flushed red as she slowly opened her eyes. She had already woken up when Ye Fan came in. Just now, she had only been pretending to be asleep.
And Ye Fan had already seen through her. That was precisely why he deliberately teased this little girl.
Ning Xi pushed Ye Fan away, turned her back to him, and softly complained, "How many times have I told you, you can't come into my room without my permission? Why can't you remember that? What if…"
Her voice abruptly stopped, and her fair and pretty face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Go on, say it."
Seeing the mischievous smile all over Ye Fan's face, Ning Xi angrily sat up, patted the bed with her little hand, and said in a huff, "What if I wasn't wearing clothes?"
Hearing this, Ye Fan's lips curled up. "It's fine. I won't look."
Ning Xi: "…"
Shameless!
Ye Fan tidied the girl's slightly messy black hair from sleeping, chuckling in a low voice, "Alright, someone from the Ministry of Education came earlier. They brought two copies of the college entrance exam results and also informed us about some internal news about the Genius Ranking. Want to hear it?"
"I do!"
Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded.
Ye Fan repeated exactly what Hong Changfeng had just said.
After listening, the corners of Ning Xi's eyes curved, and she smiled radiantly, "So that means, the upcoming university life will be pretty relaxed?"
The girl's smile was so innocent and incredibly contagious. Ye Fan followed with a smile too, pinched her chubby little cheek, and joked, "That happy?"
"Of course!"
Ning Xi showed a sweet and naive expression, raised her jade-like hand, stretched lazily, and her stunning curves were on full display without the slightest concealment. She stuck out her fragrant tongue, smiling playfully, "After three exhausting years of high school, I can finally relax a bit in university."
After speaking, seeing that Ye Fan wasn't responding, she noticed that his gaze was a bit off. Following his line of sight and looking down, she instantly blushed furiously, grabbed a pillow, and blocked her chest.
"You, you… Where were you looking?!"
"I wasn't looking anywhere."
Ye Fan blinked and withdrew his gaze, his face full of innocence.
"Pfft—"
Ning Xi didn't believe that nonsense at all. Her long, autumn-water-like eyes were filled with embarrassment.
After a moment of silence, she slowly lifted her head and said, "Big brother, go out for a bit. I want to change clothes. After breakfast, we'll go to Teacher Gu's place."
"Okay."
Ye Fan nodded and was about to leave the room when he suddenly remembered something. "Xiao Xi, I contacted Sister Ziyi last night. She said we should go directly to the Beichuan Dojo today."
"Beichuan Dojo?"
Ning Xi furrowed her brows and murmured to herself, "Never heard of it."
"I haven't either. We'll find out when we get there."
Ye Fan tossed out this sentence and turned to leave the room.
Half an hour later.
Sitting on the sofa waiting, Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh. Are girls always this slow when getting ready?
You have to know, Ning Xi usually doesn't wear makeup, and even so, it's already been half an hour.
If it were one of those girls who have to put on makeup before going out, wouldn't it take at least an hour?
Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel deeply emotional.
Boys really are better—done in just a few minutes!
After waiting for about ten more minutes, Ning Xi's figure appeared at the stair corner. A cyan woven dress hugged her jade-like figure. Her flawless, otherworldly face wore a beautiful and charming smile. Her long, cascading black hair was tied up with a red ribbon. The simple decoration accentuated an absolutely stunning appearance.
Faced with the overwhelming aura of youth, Ye Fan was dazed for a moment. Then a smile gradually appeared on his face, and in a low voice filled with admiration, he said, "Xiao Xi, your outfit today is really beautiful."
Ning Xi blinked her starry eyes, poked her chin with her little finger, tilted her head, and asked with a giggle, "So you're saying I'm not pretty on normal days?"
Ye Fan: "…"
This little thing is getting harder and harder to deal with, huh?
"Ahem—"
Ye Fan cupped the dreamlike face in front of him with both hands and said deeply and affectionately, "Xiao Xi, in my heart, you are always the most beautiful. It's just that your beauty comes in different ways. Is that explanation good enough?"
"Tch—"
Ning Xi brushed off Ye Fan's hands. On the surface, she looked unimpressed, but the faint smile at the corner of her lips betrayed her.
"With a mouth like yours, who knows how many girls you'll trick in the future? Just to be safe, from now on, you're not allowed to actively flirt with any other girls, got it?"
Ye Fan's eyes were filled with amusement, and his thin lips moved slightly, "Xiao Xi, in this world, if you want something, you have to pay the price for it. Not letting me flirt with other girls isn't impossible, but first, you have to claim me."
"Claim you and…"
Halfway through the sentence, the girl's voice came to a sudden stop.
"Hmm?"
"Not… not talking about this. We should go learn chess now."
Seeing Ye Fan staring at her with a full smile, Ning Xi shyly turned her head, and whispered almost inaudibly.
Ye Fan laughed to himself.
But he didn't dwell on the topic. He knew the girl's personality very well—these things couldn't be rushed.
Ye Fan naturally held the girl's hand, his face filled with a bright, sunny smile.
"Let's go!"
......
A little after nine in the morning.
At the mountainside of Changlong Mountain in the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, a rather ancient manor stood tall. Inside, there were also some pavilions and towers. From the architectural details, it silently told of its long-standing history.
A black Audi stopped at the gate. Ye Fan and Ning Xi got out. Looking at the manor before them, surprise flickered in their eyes.
"This is the Beichuan Dojo?"
"If nothing goes wrong, it should be."
Ye Fan pointed to the rock to the right of the stone lion about a dozen meters away. Four wild, dragon-like characters were engraved on the rock.
Beichuan Dojo!
The confusion on Ning Xi's face grew stronger, and she murmured, "Didn't they say Teacher Gu doesn't accept disciples? Why is there such a big dojo?"
Hearing this, Ye Fan smiled and explained, "Xiao Xi, this Beichuan Dojo wasn't opened by Teacher Gu. On the way here, I looked up some information online. This Beichuan Dojo is quite remarkable. Supposedly, more than a thousand years ago, this place was already a place to train Go players. Through generations of power shifts, it's always been a holy land for learning chess."
"Over forty years ago, the Xiaguo Go Academy completely renovated it and turned it into a place to train Go players. However, according to online sources, the requirements to study at Beichuan Dojo are extremely strict."
"That amazing?"
Ning Xi stuck out her fragrant tongue.
Compared to Ye Fan, she had started learning chess a bit earlier, but she didn't know much about the Go world. After hearing Ye Fan's explanation, she couldn't help but reevaluate the Beichuan Dojo before her.
"Big brother, do you think… we'll have to go through an assessment today?"
"Not sure."
Ye Fan shook his head. Seeing that Ning Xi seemed a bit nervous, he gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid. I'm here; we'll deal with whatever comes."
