Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 604 - 424. Almost let Xiao Xiao down

They had arrived during the last evening self-study session, and after being delayed by Principal Lao Deng for a bit, when they left, there were less than twenty minutes remaining before the end of the session.

"Brother Fan, let’s take a stroll around the school. By the time we get back to class, it’ll be over, and we’ll have to climb down from the fifth floor again."

Xiao Ruawen clung to Xu Qingfan’s arm, and as they were less than twenty meters from the third teaching building, she suddenly stopped and said.

Xu Qingfan was actually happy to spend more time alone with her and readily agreed, "Sure, where shall we go now?"

Xiao Ruawen sneaked a guilty glance toward the direction of Class 1, Grade One, and said, "Let’s just wander around the campus!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she resumed her long strides, pulling Xu Qingfan’s wrist as they ran along the quiet campus path.

"Watch the road!"

Xu Qingfan shook his head helplessly and after staggering a few steps, he ran after her.

More than a month had passed since the Mid-Autumn Festival, but tonight’s moon was still big and round, as if a street lamp had been hung in the sky.

After running for a while, Xiao Ruawen finally slowed down, her mouth slightly open, her chest heaving, and one casually unbuttoned button on her school uniform blouse offered a steep view of the peaks beneath.

Girls are especially sensitive to the gaze of the opposite sex, and noticing Xu Qingfan was sneakily glancing at her, for some reason, she still didn’t button up her blouse.

"I’ve heard that Snow White is running away~"

"Little Red Riding Hood, she’s running away too~"

Xiao Ruawen walked on the narrow concrete embankment, occasionally losing balance and leaning heavily towards Xu Qingfan.

"How about you walk on a better path, I don’t want tomorrow’s hot topic at school to be us getting bitten by snakes." Seeing Xiao Ruawen heading toward the woods, Xu Qingfan quickly pulled her back onto the concrete path.

"Crap!" It was then that Xiao Ruawen remembered that snakes were often spotted in the school garden, and she immediately leapt behind Xu Qingfan.

"You didn’t mention it, and I almost forgot that our school’s back mountain is called She Tou Ridge." As she talked, she was still vigilant about her footsteps, watching for snakes.

Xu Qingfan gave her an annoyed look, "The cafeteria probably has some midnight snacks for sale, want to check it out?"

Nearing the cafeteria, the aroma of fried skewers and various stir-fried rice and noodles had already begun wafting through the air.

Xiao Ruawen swallowed hard but firmly shook her head, "No eating, dieting!"

"You’re not fat, why diet? Just be careful not to lose weight in the wrong places." Xu Qingfan teased.

Xiao Ruawen turned around and glared at him after hearing this, "It’s better to lose it, so I won’t be sneakily looked at!"

Even with his thick skin, Xu Qingfan couldn’t help but blush after that, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, I mean the knowledge in your head, don’t diet away the knowledge you have." free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Haha, yeah, right, right!"

Xiao Ruawen chuckled slyly, pulling him along as they continued to run forward.

Xu Qingfan had no choice but to follow, but he quickly sensed something was off.

Because the direction Xiao Ruawen was running towards was the dormitory area, and if they went forward, it would be Love Avenue at Licheng Middle School.

"Hold on~ what are we doing coming here?"

"What Tingting, I’m Wenwen!"

Xiao Ruawen tried to bluff her way through without stopping her running steps.

"Pfft~ Hahaha!" Xu Qingfan wasn’t sure if Xiao Ruawen genuinely misunderstood or was pretending.

But he really couldn’t help laughing, damn Tingting!

When they arrived at Love Avenue, Xiao Ruawen finally stopped, glaring at him somewhat annoyed, "Is it that funny?"

"Ah hahaha, Tingting..." Xu Qingfan pointed at her.

Xiao Ruawen was initially keeping a straight face, but gradually, she too couldn’t help but start laughing.

Amidst the general stillness, only in their school did the two of them laugh like fools.

"You two there, what are you up to!"

"Don’t run!"

Light suddenly shone on Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruawen; the dorm supervisor, holding a megaphone, called out to them.

Xu Qingfan grabbed Xiao Ruawen’s hand and sprinted away. It seemed, perhaps, as if they had no need to run, but for some reason, that was his first impulse.

"Stop right there!"

The dorm supervisor, who had originally just wanted to inquire about what they were doing, now saw Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruawen running away as soon as they caught sight of her. If that wasn’t guilty conscience, what was?!

"Stop!" Worried that they might be sneaking into dorms to steal things, she furiously chased after them.

"Brother Fan, why are we running?"

Xiao Ruawen glanced back at the pursuing dorm supervisor.

"I don’t know either, but we’ve already run, and if we’re caught now, we’re sure to get a serious scolding."

Xu Qingfan also looked back and noticed that the number of people chasing them had increased from one to three, all quick on their feet.

[Are those former athletes now re-employed, running so fast?]

"Haha, right, keep running!" Even in this situation, Xiao Ruawen could still laugh.

"Which class are you from? Don’t run!"

"Keep running and you’ll face dormitory suspension!"

Seeing that other dormitory supervisors were about to join the pursuit and someone was taking a detour to block them, continuing to run on the road would only lead to being caught sooner or later. Xu Qingfan had an idea and pulled Xiao Ruawen into the turn of the science building.

After various ups and downs, twists and turns, they finally managed to throw off the group of dorm supervisors, hiding in a fire stairwell of the science building.

"Whew whew whew~"

Both he and Xiao Ruawen were panting heavily, sticking close to the corner to avoid being caught by the beam of a flashlight.

"Geese, geese, geese~ If we’re caught now, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t wash us clean." Xiao Ruawen was in good spirits despite the imminent danger, still managing to laugh.

"Keep it down, would you? It would’ve probably been a minor issue, but if the dorm supervisor catches us now after all this trouble, we’ll probably have to call the principal to explain."
