Chapter 397 - Chapter 397: Xiaoxi is the one who knows me

Ye Fan couldn't help but lean closer to Ning Xi's ear, "Xiao Xi."

The warm breath on her neck made Ning Xi instinctively shrink back, giggling, "What?"

"Over mountains and wilds for a thousand li, you are the romance hidden in the stars."

The sudden sweet nothings made Ning Xi's eyes widen like saucers, a blush like a misty sunrise appearing on her cheeks, her appearance extremely shy. Her jade fingers nervously toyed with the corner of her clothes, her fair jade feet, so fair that even the blood vessels were clearly visible, gently rubbed, seeming to narrate the fluster in their owner's heart.

"You… how come you're like this again all of a sudden? Don't tease me!"

"Words from the bottom of my heart ."

Admiring the girl's incredibly cute appearance, Ye Fan extended his hand towards her, "Girlfriend, we should go downstairs now. It's not good to keep Vice President Liang waiting too long."

"I'm not your… hmph!"

Although Ning Xi said so, her small hand still obediently placed itself in Ye Fan's palm. The moment Ye Fan held it, her heart was filled with a sense of security, faint dimples carrying astonishing beauty.

Regarding the girl's stubborn mouth, Ye Fan was already used to it, pulled her and walked downstairs.

Arriving in the living room, Ye Fan keenly sensed the atmosphere between Ning Xiangtian and Liang Chenglei was somewhat strange. He couldn't quite put his finger on where it was strange.

"Mr. Ning, is this your daughter?"

Liang Chenglei looked at Ning Xi before him with incomparable surprise. He knew Ning Xiangtian had a daughter, but had never seen her.

Ning Xiangtian nodded, "Precisely my little daughter."

Liang Chenglei nodded slightly, his words rarely revealing a tone of admiration, "Born so pretty, truly rare, truly rare!"

Hearing this, Ning Xiangtian laughed heartily, "Xiao Xi, this is Vice President Liang from the Academy of Science and Technology. You can just call him Professor Liang."

Ning Xi curtsied obediently, said sweetly: "Grandpa Liang, hello. My name is Ning Xi, you can just call me Xiao Xi."

"Good, good!"

This 'Grandpa' made Liang Chenglei beam with joy, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If I really had such a beautiful granddaughter, I'm afraid I'd wake up laughing even in my dreams."

Regarding this, Ye Fan couldn't help but give Ning Xi a thumbs up in his heart.

In terms of gaining goodwill, Ning Xi had a unique advantage, unmatched by anyone.

Ning Xiangtian stood up, said: "Professor Liang, the car is already prepared, shall we set off?"

"Good!"

Liang Chenglei didn't waste words either, immediately stood up.

But just as their steps lifted, Ning Xi spoke weakly, "Um… can we wait a moment? I'm so hungry, can I go upstairs to get a piece of bread?"

Liang Chenglei stroked his beard and laughed heartily, his eyes extremely doting, "Girl, quickly go upstairs to eat. Eat slowly, no rush, we'll wait for you here."

"Thank you, Grandpa Liang."

Ning Xi smiled happily, blinked playfully at Ye Fan, pulled him and headed towards the upstairs dining room, saying in a small voice as they walked: "If I haven't guessed wrong, Gege didn't eat breakfast either, right?"

"He who knows me is Xiao Xi." (/ classical Chinese phrasing)

"That's right!"

In the living room.

Liang Chenglei sat down again, sighed with emotion: "Mr. Ning really gave me a big surprise. First and second on the Genius List will definitely enter the Academy of Science and Technology, these are two treasures!"

Ning Xiangtian nodded, said: "Ye Fan is more suitable for the Academy of Science and Technology. As for Xiao Xi, I don't plan for her to join the Academy of Science and Technology."

Liang Chenglei frowned, "Why? This is a great opportunity…"

Halfway through speaking, there was no more.

For ordinary people, entering the Academy of Science and Technology represents soaring to success . But for Ning Xi, it wasn't so, who let her have a dad who is the nation's richest man.

Ning Xiangtian explained: "As far as I know, there are very few women in the Academy of Science and Technology. This girl Xiao Xi is a bit shy of strangers. That kind of environment isn't suitable for her. Forgot to tell Professor Liang, Xiao Xi is now already a professional 1-dan Weiqi player."

Liang Chenglei nodded with considerable understanding. Playing Go cultivates one's moral character and nourishes one's nature. Compared to accompanying a group of old men doing research in the Academy of Science and Technology, it's much better!

Seeing Liang Chenglei didn't make a sound, Ning Xiangtian lifted the teapot and refilled his cup, said enthusiastically: "Drink tea, drink tea."

......

A little past eight.

Suburbs, main gate of the villa.

Liang Chenglei stopped, looked at the villa before him, his eyes somewhat complex, "The owner of this laboratory was a close friend of mine. Unfortunately, he died young, and his descendants were not up to par, exchanged the villa for money to go squander."

Ning Xiangtian had looked into the information about this villa, comforted: "The old person has passed, remembrance is enough."

Ye Fan and Ning Xi stood behind the two without making a sound, silently listening.

Liang Chenglei composed himself, turned his head towards Ye Fan and said: "Open the door, let me see if your so-called conquering of superconductivity is true or false."

Ye Fan smiled slightly, held Ning Xi's hand and walked past the two to the villa gate, opened the door with the door card.

The group of four walked into the villa. Entering the first floor, Liang Chenglei looked at the familiar equipment in the house, nodded secretly to himself.

From the traces of use on this equipment, Ye Fan was indeed researching superconductivity.

Researching superconductivity at eighteen, this courage is extremely rare!

Ning Xiangtian's attention, however, was not on this equipment. His gaze was fixed firmly on their joined hands, his heart feeling blocked.

"Cough——"

After coughing several times, Ning Xiangtian walked to Ye Fan's side, reminded in a low voice: "That's about enough, still holding hands endlessly?"

Ye Fan smiled wryly, his face full of grievance, "Uncle, you even want to control this? Isn't it very normal for couples to hold hands?"

"Why so much talk?"

Ning Xiangtian's face darkened, lectured: "Just do as I say; if you annoy me, believe it or not I'll break up the lovebirds ?!"

Ning Xi pouted her lips. Don't know what she thought of, a naive and innocent smile appeared on her face, "Dad, Mom agreed to Gege and I holding hands. If you have an opinion, go talk to Mom."

"…"

One sentence choked Ning Xiangtian speechless.

Fine.

The little padded jacket has completely defected!

Ye Fan couldn't help but chuckle , yet dared not laugh out loud, afraid of angering his future father-in-law, his face flushed red from holding it in.

Liang Chenglei wandered around on the first floor by himself, finally stopping in front of the material particle arrangement device, beckoned towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan quickly walked over. Just as he stood firm, he heard Liang Chenglei say: "Let me see your research results."

"Mm."

Ye Fan nodded, unhurriedly opened the material particle arrangement device, his fingers danced rapidly on the control screen.

On the material particle arrangement device, there was a glass cover half a meter in diameter. Points A and B were marked in the glass cover, connected by a copper wire. Point A was a small electricity storage and transmission machine, Point B only had an electricity receiver.

Ye Fan set the material particle arrangement to the diagram from the last experiment, called up the electricity input page. After doing all this, he smiled politely at Liang Chenglei, "Professor Liang, how about you set the input electricity?"

"Can do."

Liang Chenglei wasn't polite either. He input a number on the screen, exited the page with extreme familiarity, clicked to start input.

He stared intently at the control screen, waiting for the final electricity data received at point B, as well as the resistance data generated during electricity transmission.

Instantly, the atmosphere quietly tensed up.
