Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 579 - 408. Is it a promise or a promise?_2

[Brother Fan is just that kind of person!]

...

Responsible for cleaning the first floor, Xiao Ruawen and Xia Xiaoxiao were also chatting leisurely.

"Hehe, how’s it going, Xiaoxiao? Any progress with Brother Fan this week?" Xiao Ruawen leaned the mop against her chest, her face eager for some juicy news.

"We went up to the rooftop." A hint of shyness crossed Xia Xiaoxiao’s face.

She couldn’t help but share the sweetness in her heart, though some details were definitely not for public disclosure.

Xiao Ruawen instantly became excited, dancing around and asking: "Then what? Then what?"

Xia Xiaoxiao gave her a coquettish glance and turned her head back to continue mopping: "Just went up to the rooftop, then he hugged me from behind..."

One excitedly sharing, the other eagerly listening, the two of them unconsciously leaned their heads together.

"I said, ’Are you satisfied with this apology?’ and then I kissed him." Xia Xiaoxiao said and went back to her mopping.

Xiao Ruawen asked impatiently: "Then what? Then what?"

"What ’then what’?"

"What ’what then what’? Of course, it’s what happened after the kiss!" Realizing her voice was a bit loud, Xiao Ruawen quickly covered her mouth.

Walls have ears. Xia Xiaoxiao also immediately looked in the direction of the second floor, where Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi were working.

Seeing no sign of them for a while, she then glared at Xiao Ruawen annoyed: "Just kissed, what else is there after that!"

Xiao Ruawen stuck out her tongue sheepishly, then cheekily nudged Xia Xiaoxiao’s arm, asking: "Really, that’s it?"

"Yes!"

"Then how long did you guys kiss?"

Xia Xiaoxiao’s face turned red, but she decided not to hide it: "I remember it was eight o’clock after dinner, and I got home at 8:45."

"Over half an hour!?" Realizing again that she was too loud, Xiao Ruawen covered her mouth once more.

"Lower your voice!" Xia Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

Xiao Ruawen shrank her neck guiltily, exhibiting a truly remorseful attitude.

As Xia Xiaoxiao moved away to mop, Xiao Ruawen, still cheeky, pushed the mop closer: "Kissing is so boring, how did you guys kiss for over half an hour?"

Xiao Ruawen really couldn’t understand it. Staring face-to-face for half an hour, wouldn’t you end up laughing till your stomach hurt?

"Pff, cough~" Xia Xiaoxiao held back a laugh, glanced at her sideways, and walked away without a word.

"What’s with that look, Xiaoxiao!" Xiao Ruawen felt undervalued and was very angry.

"Just mop properly!" Xia Xiaoxiao didn’t lift her head because she feared she couldn’t help laughing if she saw Xiao Ruawen’s face.

"Kissing is obviously so pointless, it’s not like I haven’t kissed before!"

"Ah, right, right, right." Xia Xiaoxiao no longer wanted to talk, the ridiculous Ruawen really didn’t understand anything.

[Laughing to death!]

"Exactly!"

"Ah, right, right, right."

"Stinky Xiaoxiao!!"

"Ah, right, right, haha..."

"You still dare to ’right’ me!"

In the living room, the two girls were making a commotion.

...

Also concerned about eavesdropping ears were Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi.

To exchange secret information, the two of them locked the door whenever they cleaned a room.

"So, our next move is to test Brother Qing Fan?"

"Exactly, Brother is a greedy ghost, so we need to figure out if Brother is indiscriminate or if it’s only for us." Zhang Yiyi nodded seriously.

Lin Wanning looked worried and asked for advice: "Then what should we do?"

"Xiaoxiao, Yu, and Ruan Wen are friends, so we can’t test them." Zhang Yiyi set the tone first.

Lin Wanning agreed wholeheartedly, nodding: "That’s right, we’re all comrades, we can’t play mind games!"

"So, we need to involve someone from outside!"

"Who?"

"The president of the Magic Club, Sister Meng Meng!"

"Then what?"

"And then help her create opportunities with her brother!"

"Ah?"

The two exchanged questions and answers, one clever, the other naive and foolish.

Zhang Yiyi leaned close to Lin Wanning’s ear and whispered, "We first do this... then that... and finally this..."

After hearing it, Lin Wanning’s face showed a hint of hesitation, "But what if Brother Qing Fan ends up with the senior sister, what do we do then, huh?"

"Uh..."

Zhang Yiyi’s smile froze instantly. Yeah, if Brother ended up with the senior sister, what then?

Especially with this kind of self-defeating, bizarre strategy, they’d probably vomit blood in frustration.

"Then we better not create any opportunities," she said bitterly.

"No creating them, no creating them," Lin Wanning nodded vigorously, head shaking like a rattle-drum.

"Hey!" The two clung to each other, their faces filled with worry, all previous confidence vanished.

Whether Xu Qingfan was truly undiscriminating in his hunger, it seemed only time would tell... freewёbnoνel.com

...

After the big clean-up and a nap, they woke up to the fiery clouds of sunset spread across the sky.

After a hearty meal nearby, the six of them headed back to school, facing the evening breeze and the setting sun.

Next Monday was the National Day holiday, so for this week, they had to attend school for seven straight days, euphemistically called a "shift break."

Back in class, everyone was still in their usual state: some were copying homework, while others were on their phones.

"Damn, team leader, you finally showed up. Did you do the math paper?"

"And physics too!"

As soon as he sat down, Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang started asking for his homework.

In their student days, copying homework had its established partnerships. Switching to someone else’s work without a heads-up was a friendship-breaking move.

"Here you go," Xu Qingfan rummaged through his drawer and handed the papers to both of them.

"Thanks, Brother Fan."

"Thanks, Brother Fan."

The two giggled as they took the papers, multitasking between copying and chatting.

"So many people will be around for the National Day, come play ’Dan Dan Tang’ with me, my ’Genuine Love Boomerang Dart’ damage is super high," Wu Shichong said, not looking at the paper but still writing quickly.

"Just this week I recharged for an annual super QQ, and guess what, the scholarship money actually got deposited onto my meal card?" Lai Chenglang’s words caused several in the group to look at him in astonishment.

"Are you for real, a poverty-stricken student? Your phone’s a Samsung, and you’ve got AJ sneakers!" Wu Shichong obviously hadn’t heard the news yet and took the lead in charging in.

"Haha, no, it’s because I wanted to save money for Q coins, right? Last week for breakfast I had $1.50 stir-fried noodles, for lunch $2.50 vegetarian noodles. In the evening, a bit better, a bowl of rice with a piece of meat, then I’d get free curry sauce over rice at the second-floor canteen. My daily expenses were less than eight bucks, so maybe that triggered the abnormal spending alert."

Lai Chenglang proudly explained his money-saving Q coin charging strategy.

Xu Qingfan gave him a look: Damn, in all calculations, who’d have thought there’d be such an outrageous thing as saving money to charge Q coins!

"Damn it, I’m gonna report you to the principal right now!" Wu Shichong was just mouthing off; he wouldn’t actually report him.

"Pfff—I already told the class advisor. After all, I’m not really without money for food, better to leave the money for someone who really needs it," Lai Chenglang said, standing straighter as he spoke.

"At least you have some conscience, kid," Wu Shichong offered a fair assessment.

Wang Xuan’s impression of Lai Chenglang improved a lot; yeah, a good guy.

"You better stick to eating properly. High school is the time for growth. Game levels are just a string of code, you’d be better off learning some hacker skill to boost your own level."

As Xu Qingfan said this, he suddenly thought of the hulu-hero that would appear years later, with hundreds of thousands of phone credits and billions of megabytes of data that you couldn’t even spend if you tried.

"I was just daft last week, convincing myself to save money, so I only brought forty bucks to school, nearly starving myself faint."

"If you need money, borrow from daddy, good son."

"Screw off!"

"Son cursing father, a family tragedy indeed!"

"Can you just go die?!"

The two began to squabble again.

Xu Qingfan shook his head helplessly, but Lai Chenglang’s incident had given him a reminder.

[Aside from the party saving money to charge Q coins, could there also be a party saving money for love?]

Xu Qingfan felt as the student council vice president, it was his duty to correct this bad trend. It seemed a word with Principal Old Deng was in order.
