"Ahem—"

Ye Fan shook his shoulders and placed the kitchen knife on the coffee table. He spread his hands helplessly and explained, "There is nothing at home to cut cakes, use the kitchen knife... make do with it."

"you……"

Ning Xi's eyes flashed, and there was a little complaining on her face. She turned her head aside and muttered in a low voice: "Is this too much right? You said it would be great to have a birthday, so I can do it..."

Speaking of this, her voice came to an abrupt end.

“It’s good.”

Ye Fan walked up to Ning Xi, looking at her unhappy pretty face, and her low voice showed gentleness, "I'm very happy that you can accompany me to celebrate my birthday."

As he said that, he pressed Ning Xi on the sofa, sat down with her, picked up the kitchen knife and cut the cake on the plate.

"Come on, try it."

"…Um."

The masculinity on Ye Fan's body made Ning Xi's heart beat faster. In order to conceal her panic, she hurriedly took the cake handed over by Ye Fan and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

"Slower."

Ye Fan's eyes were full of pampering, afraid that Ning Xi would choke. He took out the kettle containing lemonade from the refrigerator, poured a cup and placed it in front of Ning Xi, "Drink some water."

"Crab...crab..."

The girl's voice was vague, but it was very pleasant.

Ye Fan silently admired Ning Xi and noticed that the light was a little dim. He got up and turned on the light, and the living room became brighter.

"Why don't you... eat?"

Soon, Ning Xi wiped out a small piece of cake from the plate, and then he noticed that Ye Fan had been staring at him, his cheeks flushed, and his soft voice was a little helpless.

"I'll be full when you eat."

Ye Fan's body tilted slightly, narrowing the distance between him and Ning Xi, and whispered: "Xiaoxi, don't you know how to eat beautifully?"

Ning Xi swallowed the bread in her mouth, leaned back, and her little face flushed.

Her definition of Ye Fan was very vague in her heart. She was obviously a friend, but she always felt that the way they got along was strange. At first, she didn't think anything was there. As time went by, she found that the relationship between herself and Ye Fan did not belong to friendship.

As for what it belongs to?

She still can't confirm it!

However, Ning Xi also knew that she did have a good impression of Ye Fan, and it would not be possible even if she didn't want to admit it.

This boy always gives her a sense of safety and reliability, which makes her want to rely on it very much. And when she is with Ye Fan, she is very happy and happy from the bottom of her heart.

Ning Xi lowered her head and was silent for a while, took a deep breath, raised her head and met Ye Fan's gaze, and said in a clear voice: "Ye Fan, I wish you a happy birthday. I have nothing on my body, so..."

She took off the cherry headband with her tight hair, and the strands of hair were scattered in an instant, "This headband is something you gave me. I will give it to you now, just treat it as a birthday gift."

As she said that, she turned her head, shyness flashed in her eyes, and her voice was low and unpleasant: "You...you stretch out your hand."

"Um?"

There was a hint of suspicion in Ye Fan's eyes. Soon, this suspicion turned into expectation. He raised his right hand and placed it in front of the girl. His Adam's apple moved slightly. At this moment, he became nervous inexplicably.

Ning Xi bit her red lips, and her two little hands supported the rope, hung it on Ye Fan's right wrist, and said weakly: "You, don't dislike me. At worst, I will give you a gift in the future."

"Need not."

Ye Fan looked at the headband on his wrist, his eyes couldn't help but squint, and his face was filled with smiles. He shook his wrist at Ning Xi and said, "I like this gift very much."

His eyes were deep, as if thousands of stars were shining in it, and Ning Xi was the bright moon, pure and unique.

"Just like it."

Ning Xi's face was hot, his soft voice and weak expression were fully displayed.

Ye Fan's eyes became more affectionate. The cuteness that the girl inadvertently revealed was thousands of times more tender than the setting sun. He was already completely addicted to it and could not extricate himself.

The two sat quietly, saying nothing, doing nothing, but the years were quiet.

After a long time, Ye Fan spoke and broke the atmosphere. He had a sunny smile on his face and said, "Xiao Xi, don't you usually play chess online?"

"…Um."

Ning Xi was stunned for Ye Fan's sudden question and nodded and responded: "At the beginning of the year, my father suddenly told me that he wanted me to learn Go, saying that he could cultivate his character and make people pure and not impetuous. After completing his learning tasks, I would play a game of chess online."

She raised her pretty face and the dimples rose: "I didn't like it very much at first, but after learning about Go, I felt that Go was quite interesting."

"Uncle is right."

Ye Fan smiled and agreed with his future father-in-law's vision. A girl like Ning Xi who is like white paper will inevitably be polluted by this society when doing other things.

Ning Xi is growing up slowly and will always have to go his own way in the future.

Drawing and playing chess are all very suitable for her.

Ning Xi blinked her eyes, and a thought suddenly arose in her heart. A hint of undetectable smile appeared on her cheeks, like a ripple on the surface of the lake. In just a moment, it disappeared.

"cough!"

Ye Fan did not notice the girl's expression change just now. He heard the coughing sound, and his eyes were surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Teacher Ye."

Ning Xi grabbed Ye Fan's arm with both hands, and his clear eyes were rotating, and the little one looked extremely cute.

Ye Fan could not stand the girl like this. He immediately shook his head and laughed: "If you have something to say, please be clear about yourself. Do you know that just the expression you just now is sweeter than the Alpine lollipop, I can't stand it!"

"Nonsense!"

Ning Xi had anger in her eyes, then she smiled and expressed her thoughts, "Are you usually reading books at night?"

Based on her understanding of Ye Fan, this guy must be reading, reading, or reading at night.

After all, what else can a person who can forget the exam when reading books?

"right."

Ye Fan nodded and admitted, "I have been reading some physics books recently, talking about black hole mass..."

"Stop and stop!"

Ning Xi clasped his hands together and begged, "Teacher Ye, I'm not interested in any book you read, let me go."

The girl's cute appearance seemed to make the air sweet. Seeing Ye Fan's eyes were filled with pampering, he asked with a low smile: "Xiao Xi, what do you want to ask?"

"Me?"

Ning Xi held his chin and his eyes turned eccentricly, "I want to ask if you are interested in learning Go?"

"Play Go?"

Ye Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, I will start learning tonight."

Ning Xi's face showed a look of surprise and said, "You, you're so happy that you agreed? Don't you ask me what I asked you to learn Go?"

“Is it important?”

“…”

Ning Xi curled her lips and explained softly: "If you learn to play Go, then we can play chess online in the future, and we can also chat while we are at the bottom."

After saying that, she seemed to feel that the meaning of the words seemed a little strange and hurriedly explained: "I have no other meaning, just..."

Before she could finish her words, Ye Fan held her hand and walked towards the bedroom.

"Oh...what do?"

Feeling Ning Xi's panic, Ye Fan explained without looking back: "What else can I do? Of course, I'm helping me register the account of Games.com!"

"…oh."

"By the way, don't forget to add your account as a friend."

"…Um."

…………

At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Fan sent Ningxi out of the community.

After Ning Xi got in the car, he lowered the window and waved at Ye Fan, with a provocation on his cheek, and said, "Don't forget tonight, be ready to face the failure!"

"good."

Ye Fan nodded with a smile, "Teacher Ning, I hope his subordinates will show mercy."

"I'll think about it."

Seeing that the car had started, Ning Xi said softly: "By bye, don't forget to bring me lemonade tomorrow."

"Okay, I won't forget."

After watching the car leave, Ye Fan did not go home. He stopped a taxi on the side of the road and went to the nearby bookstore. It took more than half an hour to buy five or six introductory books for Go.

When he got home, he began to look non-stop.

"Ten minutes to read the book, experience value 1."
