Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 574 - 405. Not again?

By mid-September, the weather was still scorching hot.

Apart from a brief cool down after a downpour at the end of August, Li City had felt like a giant steam room for the entire month.

The most noticeable change here was that Wanning and Yiyi were no longer waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and even Little White had been allowed inside to enjoy the air conditioning because it was genuinely hot enough to kill a dog.

"Woof woof woof!"

"Brother Qing Fan!"

"Brother!"

However, as soon as the car stopped at the gate, the two girls and Little White ran out immediately.

Little White, leveraging his agile moves, tried to jump on Xu Qingfan but was kicked back by his leg.

Xu Qingfan opened his arms, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi hurriedly ran a few steps and ducked in quickly after a slight flinch.

"Brother Qingfan, you're late again!" Lin Wanning frowned cutely, pouting playfully.

"I was delayed by something on my way here. Are uncle and auntie not at home?" Xu Qingfan rubbed the back of her head.

"Mom and Dad went out after dinner, hee hee~ Brother Qingfan, we've already designed all the country's images, check it out!" Lin Wanning immediately showed a smiling face.

"We're starting to draw the first episode this week." Zhang Yiyi also squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

"I'll take a look later."

As the three of them walked and talked, Little White trailed behind, flapping his paws, and accidentally got his head caught in the door when it was closed.

"Ow~"

"What are you doing inside, go out and guard the house." Xu Qingfan, unaware this was a dog that could enjoy air conditioning, pushed his head outside.

Little White desperately wriggled inside as man and dog got caught in a stubborn standoff.

"Hee hee, Brother Qingfan, let Little White stay inside, I took him for a bath this morning," Lin Wanning, who had already walked a few meters away, turned around and said with a giggle.

"Woof woof woof!" Little White barked indignantly.

"What's all that noise about? What's one divided by two? If you answer incorrectly, you're not allowed in!" Xu Qingfan got into it, squatting down to train the dog.

Standing still, Zhang Yiyi tilted her head, momentarily unable to distinguish who was the actual dog.

"Woof woof woof!"

"Equals three? Wrong!" Xu Qingfan pushed his dog's head away, "One divided by two is so simple, it's clearly one-half. If you can't get that right, how are you going to handle your graduate exam!"

Zhang Yiyi looked at her brother with a weird expression, thinking: Little White can't speak, how is he supposed to bark out a '0.5'?

"Brother, can you stop messing around?" She tugged at Xu Qingfan's sleeve, her tone as if coaxing a child.

"I won't train you today, tomorrow we'll cover one minus two, study hard!"

"Pfft!"

After he spoke, Xu Qingfan let go of his hand, and Zhang Yiyi finally couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at? This is serious, okay? Such a big dog, and you don't even know simple arithmetic," Xu Qingfan said.

Zhang Yiyi displayed a mix of stifled laughter and mockery. She held her hand up in front of her face, preventing Xu Qingfan from having a chance to pinch her cheeks.

"Don't touch, you touched Little White, dirty!"

"Wu~" But then Xu Qingfan pinched her with his other hand, and she instantly made a face of grievance.

"Hmm!"

However, before Xu Qingfan could feel proud, the next second, Zhang Yiyi suddenly tiptoed and pecked his lips quickly.

"Brother Qing Fan, would you like to eat the strawberry cake or the durian cake first?" Lin Wanning ran over holding two pieces of cake, her voice arriving before she did.

Xu Qingfan's pupils dilated, utterly unresponsive.

Luckily, Zhang Yiyi withdrew quickly and casually stood beside, patting her skirt as if nothing had just happened.

"Which one do you want to eat first, Brother Qing Fan?" Lin Wanning, not knowing what the two had been up to, asked again since Xu Qingfan hadn't answered her.

"Strawberry, please." Xu Qingfan stole a glance at Zhang Yiyi, his heart still pounding.

"Hehe~ I also think the strawberry flavor is delicious!" Lin Wanning said, holding two pieces of cake as she came back. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

After she turned around, Xu Qingfan hurriedly took two steps to walk beside Zhang Yiyi and slapped her on the butt with a heavy hand.

"Stop messing around." He whispered, lowering his voice.

Zhang Yiyi playfully wrinkled her nose, the corners of her mouth curving upward.

"Eh~ What was that sound just now, Brother Qing Fan?" Lin Wanning suddenly turned around as she was about to reach the corner.

"Ah... what sound... I just saw a mosquito, I was swatting it, yeah, right!"

"Oh, okay!" Lin Wanning nodded obediently, then quickly turned her head back, but a sly smile appeared on her face where Xu Qingfan couldn't see.

"Wanning doesn't know." Zhang Yiyi suppressed a laugh and also whispered.

Xu Qingfan instantly didn't know how to respond. He felt like he was really a dog, just a complete scumbag.

He pretended not to hear and started lecturing the dog again, "Besides math, science, and chemistry, ideological and moral character is also very important. I'll test you, what is socialism, how do you build socialism, and what's the key?"

Little White: ???

Zhang Yiyi: ???

"You don't know this? You need to understand what socialism is, how to build it, and the key is to further insist on the basic system of socialism... Hey, hey, don't go, come back!"

Xu Qingfan chased after the dog, quickly glossing over Zhang Yiyi's previous topic.

Zhang Yiyi's mouth curved up, she clenched her small fists and secretly punched his back twice.

[Bad big brother, always avoiding the topic!]

She quickly touched her lips with her fingertips, a sweet smile appearing on her face.

"The last question was a bit difficult; I'll ask you an easier one." Xu Qingfan grabbed Little White's drooping ears, "What was the key to the victory of the Huaxia people's war of resistance? If you don't know this one, you're going to be expelled from the dog realm, and from now on, you'll be a 'bark dog'!"

"Awwoo!"

...

After giving Little White a lesson on patriotic thought, the three of them sat at the dining table for afternoon tea and chatted.

"Brother Qing Fan, is the strawberry cake delicious? There's more in the fridge!"

"Delicious, but one piece is enough for me. Let's save some for Wanning to eat tonight." Xu Qingfan leafed through their meticulously drawn manuscript. Although the characters didn't match his memory, he thought they had drawn them even better.

"Can I, brother?" Zhang Yiyi asked expectantly.

She remembered the initial struggles of drawing "Hilarious Daily", when their character designs were rejected by Xu Qingfan many times before finally achieving success.

Seeing both holding their breath looking at him, Xu Qingfan nodded satisfactorily, "Absolutely great, with Wan Ningyi on the job, there's definitely no problem!"

"Yay!"

The two of them excitedly raised their arms, celebrating.

"Brother Qing Fan, there are also cherries in the fridge. I'll get them for you!"

Zhang Yiyi stopped the girl who was about to get up, showing her right hand, "Wanning, let me go, I accidentally got my hands dirty."

"Hehe, okay!"

Lin Wanning stretched her neck and exchanged glances with Zhang Yiyi, both smiling after catching the signal.

"Brother Qing Fan, I think an eyelash got into my eye, can you blow it for me?" After Zhang Yiyi left, Lin Wanning suddenly tugged at Xu Qingfan's sleeve.

"Huh? Let me see." Xu Qingfan put down the comic manuscript, moved Lin Wanning's hand from her eye, and bent down to look.

"Is it the left eye, Wanning? Don't squint ... mmm!"

He was focusing intently, but in the next moment, the girl leaned in gently, their lips tenderly touching.

[Not again?]
