Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 600 - 422. There are many bugs in the countryside.

"Ah... ahchoo!"

While having brunch, Wu Lingyu sneezed several times in a row. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"Yu, are you okay, do you need to go to the hospital to get checked out?" Xia Xiaoxiao tenderly offered a tissue.

"No... need, ahchoo~"

Wu Lingyu took the tissue, finished blowing her nose, and then gave Xia Xiaoxiao a grateful look, "I might have caught a cold from not covering up properly while sleeping last night."

"I've never seen you kick your covers off, Yu. Take some medicine later, and let Xu Qingfan make you some ginger tea," Xia Xiaoxiao said, glancing over at Xu Qingfan.

Wu Lingyu thought to herself: [It's all because you clung to Brother Fan's bed last night and refused to leave!]

Just thinking about how she spent nearly an hour sprawled on the ice-cold floor last night, she felt a lingering resentment.

Xu Qingfan was aware of Yu's sacrifice last night. Although he had tried to reciprocate in the second half of the night, it obviously wasn't enough.

He reached out to feel Yu's forehead for her temperature: "You seem to have a slight fever, I'll go with you to the hospital to get some medicine later."

As soon as she heard about going to the hospital, Wu Lingyu started to shiver instinctively, the fear of hospitals from her childhood had not faded even as she grew up.

"No injections, we'll just get some medicine," Xu Qingfan reassured her as he held her hand tightly.

Feeling the warmth from Brother Fan's hand, Wu Lingyu immediately felt reassured and nodded at Xu Qingfan, "Okay!"

"Yu is such a good girl, you deserve a kiss as a reward."

No sooner had Xu Qingfan spoken than he actually pecked her on the right cheek.

Wu Lingyu: !!!

Xia Xiaoxiao: ???

Yu shyly bowed her head to eat noodles, Xiao Xiao clenched her teeth and gripped her chopsticks tightly in annoyance, while the dog of a man carried on chatting as if nothing had happened:

"If we're free this afternoon, let's go clean up the old house at the junior high. It's been almost two months since we were last there."

"Whatever Brother Fan says," chimed Yu in perfect agreement with her husband.

"Whatever!" Xiao Xiao angrily snapped her noodles in half with her chopsticks, apparently imagining them to be Xu Qingfan.

Xu Qingfan kissed Yu in front of Xia Xiaoxiao on purpose, considering their group's dynamics, such an interaction, though a bit much, was not out of the question;

Secondly, he would have to face Xia Xiaoxiao sooner or later anyway, whether he came clean himself or was caught by her. Therefore, getting used to it beforehand was necessary.

Right, he would have to kiss Yu in front of Xiaoxiao later on, and kiss Wanning, Yiyi, Ruan Wen, ah... spit spit spit, that one's not allowed, not allowed!

If someday Wanning and Yiyi both ended up in his bed at the same time and Xia Xiaoxiao remained indifferent, it would mean either that her heart had died or the desensitization training had worked.

But for now, Xia Xiaoxiao was very angry, and the consequences were serious!

[He bullied me just last night, how could he do this!]

The more she stepped back and thought about it, the angrier Xia Xiaoxiao got, and she stomped her foot on his in frustration.

"Hiss~"

Xu Qingfan immediately widened his eyes, well aware that Xia Xiaoxiao was taking her revenge.

"Brother Fan, what's wrong?"

Wu Lingyu sat beside him, her left hand still held by his under the table, so even though she was sick, she looked vibrant.

"It's nothing, I bit my tongue eating noodles," Xu Qingfan shot a glance at Xia Xiaoxiao sitting across from him.

Xia Xiaoxiao glared back defiantly, but soon her eyes also widened in shock.

Because Xu Qingfan had actually grabbed her foot and placed it somewhere, somewhere unknown, unknown; she didn't know anything!

The hand that had been holding hers slackened, Wu Lingyu reluctantly withdrew hers and even turned to give him a glance.

But the dog of a man looked earnest, even puzzledly tilting his head and blinking at her, which instantly caused Yu, who already had a guilty conscience, to lower her head and continue eating her noodles.

Xia Xiaoxiao, who had been on the verge of explosion, turned docile as a lamb when her soft spot was squeezed.

Xu Qingfan then alternated between scratching her foot and pinching her toes, enjoying their brunch to the fullest.

"Pfft~"

"Xiao Xiao, what's wrong?"

"No... pfft... I just remembered a joke... hahaha..."

Xia Xiaoxiao struggled forcefully to control her own feet while Xu Qingfan tickled her relentlessly.

"Oh... okay then." Wu Lingyu, looking befuddled, glanced at Xu Qingfan again.

Before she could think more about it, she heard Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly yell, "You're sick!

Xu Qingfan also felt somewhat perverse and his face reddened as he silently took his hand away from his nose.

Only Wu Lingyu looked back and forth between Xia Xiaoxiao and Xu Qingfan, not understanding the silent riddle they were playing.

Xia Xiaoxiao's cheeks reddened to her neck; she had no face to stay any longer: "I... I'm full!"

Having said that, she finished the half-cup of milk in her glass in one gulp and ran to the kitchen with her bowl and cup.

"Brother Fan... what's wrong with Xiao Xiao?" Wu Lingyu whispered, lowering her voice because she was genuinely curious.

Xu Qingfan's face turned red, only then realizing he had unconsciously put his hand back to his nose.

[It's a habit, just a habit!]

"Cough... Isn't she full?"

Wu Lingyu blinked, full of curiosity, but since Brother Fan wasn't willing to say, she decided not to ask any further.

"Yeah!"

...

Since the three of them had been up late last night, they didn't get up until twelve noon.

After washing up and having brunch, it was suddenly one in the afternoon.

After missing two days of exercise while back in the countryside, Xu Qingfan set a four-minute pace on the treadmill after digesting.
