I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 18. Little Jealousy 2
In the second period, Xu Qingfan, who had nothing to do, taught Lin Wanning to play Tic-Tac-Toe.

The two of them were having a great time writing "○" and "×" on a simple nine-square grid.

To make Xiao Wanning feel more involved, Xu Qingfan deliberately threw the game after winning one, so that their win rates remained even.

"Hehe, I won again!" Xiao Wanning happily drew an "X" on the table, successfully connecting them into a straight line.

Xu Qingfan quickly flipped to the last page of his notebook and began explaining a math problem to Lin Wanning in a very professional manner.

"You have to do it this way first, then this way, and finally this way, understand?"

The teacher came down to look around and, seeing that the two were discussing the problem, returned to the podium.

After the teacher left, Xiao Wanning patted her chest as if she had just woken up, "You scared me! Luckily, I didn't get caught by Bald Qiang!"

Bald Qiang is a nickname given to him by Xu Qingfan, simply because he really looks just like him.

"School's almost over, aren't you done playing?"

"I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore." The little girl glanced guiltily at the teacher on the podium and said, "Brother Qingfan, have you ever eaten crayfish? It's so delicious!"

Xu Qingfan glanced at the little girl and said, "My mom sells crayfish. If you like them, I'll make some for you this weekend."

"Ah! You can even cook crayfish?" Lin Wanning noticed that the teacher on the stage was staring at him with a death stare, so he hurriedly covered his mouth in a panic and buried his head on the table like an ostrich.

"Lin Wanning, you answer this question!"

The little girl nervously got up, glanced at the blackboard which looked like gibberish, and had no idea which question the teacher was talking about.

Xu Qingfan pinched Lin Wanning's small hand and wrote on the draft paper with his right hand: The pattern is the sum of the front and the back, the answer is 13.

"Is the rule the sum of the first and the last? The answer is thirteen!" Little Liuhua stammered as she finished reading the contents of the draft paper.

"Sit down!" The teacher glanced at Xu Qingfan and said, "Those who have already mastered the material can study the rest on their own and not disturb others. Those who don't understand should study even more diligently!"

[Why are you being so serious? They're still just kindergarten kids.] Xu Qingfan didn't take the teacher's glare to heart. If Lin Wanning's family was in the same situation as his, he would have tutored him specifically to help him tackle the most difficult problem.

But Xiao Liuhua lives in a big villa and drives a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi. She doesn't care about the tuition fees of tens of thousands of yuan. Why should she bear so much academic burden at such a young age?
"Where does Brother Qingfan live? I'll come visit you and Xiaoxiao this weekend!" Lin Wanning asked in a low voice as the teacher started lecturing again.

"My home is in Lianhua Courtyard, 303 Second Street. I'll show you some nice things when we get there!"

"Okay! I'll have my mom take me. My parents don't spend time with Wan Ning, so the holidays are so boring!" Realizing her voice was a bit too loud again, she glanced at the podium.

"So what do you usually do on weekends?" Xu Qingfan asked, ruffling Xiao Wanning's hair.

"I have painting lessons on Saturdays and piano lessons on Sundays. Mom also enrolled Wan Ning in a math tutoring class, but he didn't get to go. Hehe, I'm so awesome!"

When I got to the tutoring center, I grabbed my mom's leg and cried, refusing to let go. After about ten minutes, my mom took Wan Ning home.

As he listened, Xu Qingfan suddenly recalled the scene of crying his heart out when he first started kindergarten.

He seemed to be clinging to his mother's leg and crying, but in the end, Xia Xiaoxiao led him through the kindergarten gate.

Why wasn't Xia Xiaoxiao worried that her parents would abandon her back then?

She seems to have always been this independent, whether it was when she rejected Tsinghua and Peking University, or when she quietly applied to study abroad.

"Wanning is great." Xu Qingfan looked at Xia Xiaoxiao's back and didn't hear what Lin Wanning was saying anymore.

Time passed quickly and it was time to leave school. Xia Xiaoxiao slung her backpack over her shoulder, glared at the two of them, and was about to leave when Xu Qingfan pulled her back.

"What are you doing!"

"Where are you going? Take the Ning family's car back tonight." Looking at Xia Xiaoxiao's stubborn little expression, Xu Qingfan suddenly laughed.

He reached out and pinched the little girl's cheek. "So cute!"

Xia Xiaoxiao, embarrassed and annoyed, slapped Xu Qingfan's stinking hand away, but didn't leave first. He took the hands of both girls, one in each hand, and led them out of the school gate.

Lin Wanning held hands and swayed back and forth, and Xu Qingfan swayed with one hand, and the other hand subconsciously followed suit.

"Naive!" Xia Xiaoxiao's hands were tense, preventing Xu Qingfan from moving.

Because of the crayfish business, Mr. Xu has been busy going to the countryside this week, and Mrs. Xu has also been going door-to-door to place orders.

The task of picking up and dropping off the two little ones fell to Lin Jing.

However, since the elementary school was having a teachers' meeting on Friday, Lin Jing entrusted Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao to Lin Qiaoshan again.

Because they both share the surname Lin, the two chatted for quite a while yesterday afternoon and exchanged phone numbers.

Xu Qingfan had read a report in his previous life that said kindergarten parents had the highest probability of having affairs. Uncle Xia was away from home for three to five days at a time; he couldn't let that happen.
In my previous life, when I was in junior high school, Uncle Xia and Aunt Lin went through a period of divorce, but they later reconciled.

Xu Qingfan learned the specific reason when he overheard Lin Jing and her mother crying.

It seems that Uncle Xia met a restaurant owner while driving a truck. Her husband was abusive, and Uncle Xia intervened to help her. After their divorce, they gradually developed feelings for each other.

Xia Xiaoxiao asked him at the time, "Do you think my parents should get a divorce?"

Xu Qingfan was in his third year of junior high school at the time, so he naturally felt that it was best for the whole family to be together.

He couldn't remember exactly what they talked about that day, but it seemed that starting from the third year of junior high school, Xia Xiaoxiao and he weren't as close as before.

Before the three of them even left the school gate, they saw Lin Qiaoshan and Wen Wanqing waiting at the entrance. Lin Wanning jogged forward, and Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao were also forced to run.

"Mommy, Daddy!"

"Hello, sister. Hello, Uncle Qiaoshan."

Xia Xiaoxiao was speechless again, and after a long while she finally said, "Hello, Uncle, hello, Aunt."

"Eh!"

"You brat, who are you calling 'sister'?"

After getting in the car, Lin Wanning saw the KFC on the back seat and couldn't wait to open it.

"Ah, thank you, Mom!"

Lin Qiaoshan said with a heavy heart, "Daughter, this is what Dad bought."

"Hehe, thank you, Dad!"

"Let's eat together!" Lin Wanning grabbed a piece of Original Recipe Chicken and handed the family bucket to Xu Qingfan, who was sitting in the middle.

Xu Qingfan also took a piece of original recipe chicken, and worried that Xia Xiaoxiao might feel embarrassed, he also took an Orleans chicken wing.

"Sister, you guys eat." He handed the family bucket to Wen Wanqing, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"No need, we've already eaten. This is for the three of you."

Xia Xiaoxiao sat up straight, her hands resting on her lap, unmoved by the chicken wing Xu Qingfan offered.

Xu Qingfan put the chicken wing directly to her mouth. Smelling the fragrant fried chicken, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Seeing that Wen Wanqing was also looking at her, she reluctantly took the chicken wings from Xu Qingfan's hand.

[I let her use my water cup this afternoon, I'll ask her to use it next time!] Xia Xiaoxiao thought to herself as she ate her chicken wings.
