Chapter 425 Brain Power Ladder
Finally, Ye Fan helplessly accepted all this.
Anyway, whether it's a skill or a card, the effect is actually the same.
After all, it can only be used once.
Retracting his thoughts, Ye Fan looked at the ceiling, Ning Xi's face couldn't help but appear before his eyes again. His thin lips uncontrollably curved into a smile. Unconsciously, sleepiness crept in.
"Why did you come?"
After eating breakfast, Ye Fan had a long phone call with Ning Xi in the bedroom. When he came to the living room, he found Shen Li sitting on the sofa, chatting and laughing with his mother. A trace of complexity flashed deep in his eyes.
Looking at Ye Fan who sat down opposite, Shen Li chuckled lightly and asked back: "Brother Ye, no need to look down on me so much, right? Can't I even come to your house?"
"Of course not."
Ye Fan rolled his eyes, didn't speak further.
Compared to an aggressive girl like Shen Li, he preferred Ning Xi's submissive temperament.
Maybe it's just beauty is in the eye of the beholder .
Anyway, in Ye Fan's eyes, no one could compare to Ning Xi.
Shen Li glanced towards the staircase direction, "Brother Ye, why don't I see Ning Xi?"
"Ning Xi already returned to the Imperial Capital yesterday. Forgot to tell you girl just now."
Hearing this question, Ye Xian was the first to answer.
As an experienced person, she saw many things in Shen Li's gaze towards her son. Honestly, if there was no Ning Xi, she would of course be very happy. After all, Shen Li was very outstanding no matter from which aspect.
But the reality is, her son already had Ning Xi.
Compared to Shen Li, Ning Xi was even more outstanding.
Moreover, in Ye Xian's heart, she indeed liked Ning Xi more.
No way around it, a girl like Ning Xi, no one would dislike.
Precisely because of this, after sensing Shen Li's affection for her son, Ye Xian's mood was very complex. Yet she couldn't stop all this, could only let the young people resolve it themselves.
"Returned to the Imperial Capital?"
Shen Li froze for a moment, "Didn't she just arrive? How come she went back so quickly?"
Ye Xian chuckled and explained: "That girl just missed Xiao Fan, came over to meet him, that's all."
Shen Li was silent.
If she were in Ning Xi's position, she absolutely wouldn't choose to return to the Imperial Capital.
You should know, here there is her boyfriend's childhood sweetheart . At such a crucial moment, how could she choose to leave?
Strange!
Shen Li couldn't figure it out. Many things Ning Xi did, she didn't quite understand.
For example, her attitude during their first meeting, and this matter of returning to the Imperial Capital…
Ye Fan glanced at Shen Li, said: "Stay for lunch at noon."
"Forget it."
Shen Li shook her head in refusal, "Still have things to do at home, I'll go back first."
Saying this, she stood up to leave. But just as she took a step, she stopped her footsteps, took out an invitation letter and placed it on the coffee table, "Almost forgot the important business. Brother Ye, this is the invitation letter for Brain Ladder."
"Because of my excellent results in the GS exam, I can invite one person to participate. Originally planned to invite Ning Xi to participate, but she wasn't willing, so can only give it to you. You also know, I don't have many friends."
Regarding this variety show Brain Ladder, Ye Fan knew a little about it. In the country, it could be considered the ceiling-level variety show for brainpower competitions, its fame also very great. All participating contestants were not ordinary people.
"I'm not interested in this."
Ye Fan shook his head with a light expression, "With this time, might as well read more books, or improve myself; what, could it be you plan to develop in the entertainment circle in the future?"
As everyone knows, the entertainment circle is a relatively complex circle. In this circle, anything can happen.
"No."
Shen Li explained softly: "Brother Ye, you might not know yet, this year Brain Ladder is co-hosted with the Academy of Science and Technology. If one can get into the top three, then one can obtain a spot to enter the Academy of Science and Technology."
"You and Ning Xi, as the first and second on the Genius List, will definitely enter the Academy of Science and Technology in the future, so…"
Speaking to here, Shen Li slowly lowered her head.
Ye Fan instantly understood everything, narrowed his eyes: "Is that so? A variety show can actually co-host with the Academy of Science and Technology, truly rare!"?
"Indeed very rare."
Shen Li nodded along, "Heard the number of people signing up for the auditions this year has more than quintupled compared to last year. The competition is very fierce. Brother Ye, this invitation letter in front of you can directly bypass the auditions and participate in the main competition."
"I still won't participate."
Ye Fan wasn't moved. Poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, "The reward for the top three holds no attraction for me. Moreover, I don't really like to make public appearances. Sorry."
"Aiya, just accompany me."
Seeing Ye Fan refuse again, Shen Li sat beside Ye Fan angrily, tightly hugged his arm and acted coquettishly: "Didn't you say I'm your younger sister? Can't you just consider it as accompanying your younger sister?"
"I do consider you as a younger sister, but what about you?"
Ye Fan extricated his arm unmoved, said: "Xiao Li, some things absolutely cannot be plit hairs. Isn't it also quite good to be siblings?"
"Where is it good?!"
Shen Li turned her head to look at Ye Xian, blinked her eyes pitifully: "Auntie, just let Brother Ye accompany me. I just returned to the country, not used to many things. With him around, it will be much more convenient."
"This…"
Ye Xian looked at her son hesitantly, tentatively suggested: "Xiao Fan, how about you just accompany Xiao Li to participate together?"
As soon as the words came out, she regretted it.
This kind of thing would very likely cause Ning Xi to misunderstand.
What a girl is like when she gets jealous, Ye Xian, as a woman, couldn't be clearer. At that time, her son caught in the middle would be the most uncomfortable.
But the words were already spoken, spilled water is hard to retrieve !
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, smiled wryly: "Mom, what if Xiao Xi misunderstands? Will you coax her then?"
"Cough cough——"
Ye Xian quickly took this step down, "Consider I didn't say it, consider I didn't say it."
Shen Li bit her lip, said clearly: "Brother Ye, if you're afraid Ning Xi will misunderstand, then just call her to participate together. That should be fine, right?"
"But your invitation letter is only for one."
Ye Fan shook his head slightly, "Moreover, Xiao Xi doesn't like that kind of occasion, so…"
"The matter of the invitation letter, I'll find a way to solve it. It's happily decided then!"
Dropping this sentence, Shen Li didn't give Ye Fan another chance to refuse, turned and left.
Looking at Shen Li's retreating figure, Ye Fan sighed with considerable headache, silently put away the invitation letter from the coffee table.
This was the first time Shen Li had asked him for something. His repeated refusals were indeed somewhat inappropriate.
Forget it, just consider it as an older brother taking care of his younger sister!
Soon, Ning Xi in the Imperial Capital learned of this news. Regarding this, her first reaction was to refuse. Her temperament leaned towards quietness, disliked crowded places.
But Ye Fan's subsequent words made the girl change her mind...
