I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 102. The Park Accident
At Licheng Park, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi were excitedly picking out hair clips at a stall.

"Does this look good, Brother Qingfan?" Lin Wanning put on a rabbit ear headband and asked Xu Qingfan.

"Ningning is so cute!" Xu Qingfan's eyes lit up, and he gave her a thumbs up.

"Me, me!" Zhang Yiyi also put the cat ear hair clip she had her eye on her head, made her two little hands into claw shapes and held them up on both sides of her head, tilting her head to look at Xu Qingfan.

Xu Qingfan felt completely melted by the two little ones; they were just too adorable!

[Awei is dead QAQ!!!]
As long as they're not cosplaying as little deer, Xu Qingfan is utterly powerless against Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi when they're wearing cute hair clips.

"How much, boss? I'll take it!" He waved his hand and pulled Lin Wanning's small pink wallet out of his pocket.

"These kids are so cute! They're normally ten yuan each, but if you like them, I'll sell you two for ten yuan each!"

"Ten yuan for three, I'll buy six!" he said, pulling out a brownish-yellow twenty-yuan note from his wallet.

"Tsk~ Alright, alright, we're open for business. I'll sell to you at a loss this time!"

"Yay!!!" The two little ones jumped up and down with joy.

"Wrap all three up." Xu Qingfan chose a devil horn one for himself and then picked out three more that he thought looked good and handed them to the proprietress.

"Alright~ Here you go!" The proprietress was overjoyed to have made such a big sale right from the start. After checking the money against the sunlight several times to make sure it was genuine, she handed the three hairbands from the bag to Xu Qingfan.

“Hehe~ Brother Qingfan is a little green dragon, Brother Qingfan has horns on his head!” After leaving the stall, Zhang Yiyi and Lin Wanning each touched one of the small horns on Xu Qingfan’s headband and said.

"I am Little Green Dragon, the Little Green Dragon who eats kittens and rabbits!" Xu Qingfan bared his teeth and claws as he pounced on them.

"Run, Yi-yi! Brother Qingfan is going to eat people!"

"Run~"

The two little girls laughed as clear as larks, running hand in hand, occasionally glancing back at Xu Qingfan chasing after them.

When they saw Xu Qingfan about to catch up, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi immediately screamed and quickened their pace to leave him far behind again.

Xu Qingfan chuckled and pulled out his phone from his pocket. The phone Zhang Chunxue gave them was a Sharp J-SH04, a color screen phone with a 11-pixel camera, one of the few phones in the industry that could simultaneously support photo and video recording.

In his past life, he often regretted that he hadn't left any memorable photos or videos with Xia Xiaoxiao during their childhood, so much so that as the pixels became clearer, the memories became increasingly blurry.

Having been given a second chance at life, he wanted to record all these beautiful moments.

"Don't run so fast, be careful not to fall!" He held up his phone with the camera on and warned the two people in front of him as he ran.

"Brother Qingfan is trying to cheat again, that's why I won't let you catch up!"

"Can't catch up, you big idiot!"

The two little girls' voices were drawn out by the wind, drifting through the air and reaching Xu Qingfan's ears.

"You two short-legged little devils, just you wait!"

"Aww~ Run! The little green dragon is coming to eat the rabbit!"

Adults taking a walk and couples on a date can't help but smile when they see the three little ones chasing and playing. They all have the same thought in mind: When did it start? We haven't played like this since then.

"Be careful not to bump into anyone!" Xu Qingfan warned, seeing an elderly woman with a cane in the middle of the road.

"Ningning isn't blind, she won't bump into anything!" Lin Wanning shouted without turning her head.

"Then don't run so fast, there are stairs ahead!" He shook his head helplessly, slowing down so that the two of them wouldn't run too fast.

"Brother Qingfan, run faster!" Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi stood panting on the steps, cupping their hands in a megaphone shape as they shouted to Xu Qingfan.

"Be careful!!"

The old lady walking in the middle of the road seemed to have lost her grip on her cane, and she stumbled and was about to fall down the steps.

"what!!!"

Before Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi could react, they saw each other roll several times on the steps.

Fortunately, a platform was built between the two steps, and the old lady finally exhausted her kinetic energy after rolling around three times.

"Grandma, are you alright?" Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi immediately stepped forward to help the injured old woman after regaining their senses.

Xu Qingfan hurriedly ran over, "Are you alright?"

However, the plot took an unexpected turn. The old woman, who had just been helped to sit down on the steps by the two men, immediately changed her tune, gripping Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi's wrists tightly and wailing in a frenzied manner:

"Ouch~ It hurts so much, you old hag! This is outrageous! That damned little bastard pushed me down the stairs! Anyone who can judge this is right!"

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi were both stunned. Their throats felt blocked, and an overwhelming sense of grievance welled up in their hearts.

"Ningning didn't, you fell down on your own, you're framing me!"

Lin Wanning tried to break free of her wrist, but the other person gripped it even tighter. Overwhelmed with grievance and pain, the little girl cried out through her teary eyes, "Brother Qingfan, it hurts!"

"Boiled!"

Xu Qingfan was instantly enraged. After saving the video, he put his phone back in his pocket, rushed over, and slapped the old man hard across the face. "You old bastard, let go of me!"

The old woman was stunned by Xu Qingfan's slap and instinctively released her grip on the two children. Zhang Yiyi and Lin Wanning, freed from their restraints, hid behind Xu Qingfan like startled rabbits. "Damn it! What kind of world is this? This little beast pushed me down the stairs and then hit me! Who can judge this?" Seeing that more and more people were gathering to watch the commotion, the old woman started her performance again, slamming her hand heavily on the cement floor.

"How can kids these days be so rude? Where are your parents? Call them here right now!"

"Tsk~ The post-90s generation is really a lost generation. They've been spoiled rotten, look what they've become! They're all little devils!"

"I saw that the old woman fell down on her own."

"No way! I saw that little boy slap the old lady!"

"."

Seeing that more and more people were talking, Xu Qingfan shouted, "Quiet down!!!"

"This old woman fell down on her own. We kindly helped her up, but she accused us. If any of you have a phone, call the police now!" He shouted, taking advantage of the few seconds of silence in the crowd.

"I swear! It was you three little beasts who pushed me! I'm an old woman over seventy years old, I don't lie!!"

"That's right, I saw you hit someone with my own eyes. You lied after doing something wrong. You have no manners at all!"

"Quickly call your parents! I think this old lady has clearly fallen badly. Someone should call 120 for an ambulance!"

The crowd immediately turned in support of the old woman, and those who had previously said that the old man had fallen on his own fell silent.

"We don't."

"She clearly fell down on her own!"

Faced with the public's condemnation, Zhang Yiyi and Lin Wanning appeared both frightened and aggrieved, their small hands tightly clutching Xu Qingfan's clothes, clinging to the only sense of security they had.

[Damn it, I can't believe all the bad luck I can run into!]
Xu Qingfan cursed under his breath, "Shut up, I'm calling my dad!"

After the crowd quieted down a bit, he took out his phone and called Xu Aiguo.

When Xu Qingfan actually took out his phone, the crowd immediately fell silent. It's no joke; these days, it's rare to see a family that can afford a mobile phone. Even a simple one costs six or seven thousand yuan.

"Dad, I'm near the fountain in Licheng Park. It looks like we bumped into an old lady. Come quick!"

"What do you mean 'seems like'? Hey, hey! You brat!!" Xu Aiguo picked up the phone from his ear and saw that the call had already been disconnected.

Worried that something might happen to his son, Xu Aiguo didn't bother waiting for the traffic light ahead and simply turned and sped into the alley.

"Hmph! Good that they're admitting it. Don't worry, grandma, the family that can afford to buy a cell phone for their child must be rich. Make them pay your medical expenses!"

"Yes! Pay the medical expenses!!"

Old Bide's eyes darted around. "I'm not a liar, those three pushed me down the stairs!!"

Xu Qingfan secretly turned on his phone to record: "You old bastard, what do you want? My family has plenty of money, we don't need your little bit!"

He perfectly embodied the attitude of a rich second-generation, asking with a disdainful look.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Another nouveau riche!"

"Thank goodness it wasn't my son!"

"If my son did that, I'd beat him to death with a stick!"

"You have to pay me money, pay me ten thousand, pay me two hundred thousand!!" When the old man spoke up, the crowd quickly quieted down.

"Hiss~" Upon hearing the old woman's outrageous demand for 200,000, everyone present gasped in shock.

"Why should I pay you 200,000!" Xu Qingfan continued to shout arrogantly.

"You three little beasts pushed me down the stairs! Call your parents here right now and make them pay for it!"

"Are you sure the three of us pushed you down?" he pressed.

The onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to beat up Xu Qingfan, but they were worried about retaliation from his family. They retorted, "Just because your family has a little money doesn't mean you're so great. Your family is in big trouble now. If you don't want to go to jail, you'd better pay up!"

"Exactly! You just admitted on the phone that you pushed it, and now you're trying to deny it! Which elementary school did you go to expose him!"

Seeing so many people supporting her, the old woman instantly became arrogant: "I swear to God, it was you three little beasts who pushed me down the stairs. If I'm lying, may my whole family die!"

"Because we pushed you down the stairs, you want us to compensate you 20 yuan, is that right?" he continued to press loudly.

“That’s right! I’m over seventy years old, I don’t lie!” The old woman’s head, which had been a little dizzy, immediately perked up again when she heard the number two hundred thousand.

Xu Qingfan carefully saved the recording and put his phone back in his pocket.

He glanced pityingly at the old man, who was already lost in his fantasy world. [Trying to blackmail me?]
"It's alright, my dad will be here soon." He hugged Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi and whispered reassuringly.

"Ah."

The two of them held his arms tightly, as if Xu Qingfan would step in to solve the problem even if the sky were to fall.

[Brother Qingfan is indeed the most amazing!]
Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi thought the same thing at the same time.
