I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 180. The world where only Little White gets hurt has been achieved.
Saturday, 8:00 AM.

Xu Qingfan was still sleeping soundly in bed when he suddenly felt a ticklish sensation in his nose, as if someone had brushed it with a strand of hair. He then sneezed.

"Ah chirp~"

When he opened his eyes, he saw Xia Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ruanwen and Wu Lingyu, three girls, huddled together, looking down at him.

"Oh~ what are you doing!" Xu Qingfan was startled, and only after seeing that it was the three of them did he say in an annoyed tone.

"Brother Fan, it's already eight o'clock and you still aren't up! I came over at seven!" Xiao Ruanwen said reproachfully, tucking her stray hairs behind her ear.

"Lazy pig!" Xia Xiaoxiao retorted with equal disdain. The girl completely forgot that she had just gotten up and brushed her teeth, and hadn't even had breakfast yet.

There are still hot noodles in the pot.

"Ha~ Our Xiaoyu is the best!" Xu Qingfan yawned, stood up, patted Wu Lingyu's head, and laughed.

Wu Lingyu smiled sweetly, while Xia Xiaoxiao punched him in the back in disgust.

After Xu Qingfan finished brushing his teeth and came out of the bathroom in ten minutes, he quickly devoured the noodles that Wu Lingyu had prepared for him.

"Alright, let's go!" He said, letting out a soft burp after downing the cup of black tea in one gulp.

"I'll wash the dishes first." Wu Lingyu reached for the empty bowl on the table.

"I'm so sorry, I can do it myself." Xu Qingfan said this, but he didn't move his hands or feet at all.

"Brother Fan, you're such a loser!"

"Hmm?" Xu Qingfan gave Xiao Ruanwen a death stare. "Don't you want the new song anymore?"

"Hehe~ I meant to say that you eat really fast, Fan-ge, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Xiao Ruanwen, whose weakness had been exploited, changed her expression in an instant.

"What a jerk!" Xia Xiaoxiao bit her lip and glared at him.

After Wu Lingyu came out of the kitchen, the four of them put on their backpacks and went out together.

They hailed a taxi at the intersection and soon arrived at Lin Wanning's house.

When they arrived at the courtyard in front of the villa, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi were already tending to the flowers and plants at the entrance. They excitedly ran up to them when they saw them.

"Brother Qingfan!"

"Good morning everyone!"

"Good morning, have you had breakfast yet?" Xu Qingfan smiled warmly at the two of them.

"Have you eaten steamed buns? Qingfan, have you had breakfast yet? Oh, there are still some left."

"And milk tea!"

"We've already eaten; Xiaoyu cooked the noodles."

Xu Qingfan was about to say something more when Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly pointed to the empty doghouse and asked, "Where's the dog?"

"Oh!" Lin Wanning exclaimed in surprise, covering his mouth with both hands.

She said she felt like she had forgotten something, and it turned out she had forgotten to bring the dog home yesterday!
"I knew something felt off, turns out I left Xiaobai at her house over there!" Lin Wanning said with a sudden realization.

"Oh, won't it starve to death?" Xiao Ruanwen asked with some concern.

"What's the big deal about it going hungry for half a day? I'll feed it after I finish eating this afternoon. Consider it a way to help it lose weight; it's as fat as a pig!"

A kilometer away, Little White was pounding its dog bowl with its paws, accompanied by howls and howls.

"Ow~"

"Scream, scream, scream! What are you yelling for? If you keep yelling, I'll kill you and eat you as dog meat!" The neighbor auntie shouted as she walked to the door with a spatula in her hand.

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai covered its mouth with its paws, looking aggrieved. Its little expression immediately amused the aunt. She went home and took some leftover porridge from breakfast, pouring it into the dog's bowl.

"Wang Wang!"

"What should we wear for the performance?" The six of them strolled on their way to the music store, and Xiao Ruanwen was already looking forward to the day of the official performance.

"Let's all wear Hanfu together!"

They wore Hanfu at their elementary school graduation ceremony, and although half a year has passed and everyone has grown to different heights, they can still fit into it.

"You guys can wear them yourselves, I'm not wearing them!" The latest Hanfu made him look like a little eunuch in an ancient palace, and Xu Qingfan refused to wear it a second time no matter what.

This is actually quite normal. After all, men in ancient times had to wear hats and beards. Xu Qingfan was not tall to begin with, and he was fair-skinned and clean-cut. How could he not look like an old man?

"Pfft~ Hahaha." The five girls all remembered Xu Qingfan's embarrassing moment on graduation day and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Xiao Fanzi, come here to me!" Xiao Ruanwen imitated Consort Pin from the TV series, extending her hand for Xu Qingfan to help her up.

"How dare you! How dare you address me by my childhood name?"

"Guards! Throw Consort Xiao into the Cold Palace!" Xu Qingfan said authoritatively, hands on his hips.

"Brother Qingfan, what about me? What kind of concubine am I?" Lin Wanning asked with a grin, eagerly moving closer.

"Wanning?" He pretended to think for a moment, then said, "Wanning, you are a palace maid in the laundry department, responsible for washing my clothes and cooking for me, hahaha." Xu Qingfan couldn't help but burst into laughter after saying that.

"Brother Qingfan, why are you like this? I'm not playing with you anymore, hmph!" Lin Wanning crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks in a huff.

"Just kidding~ Our Wan Ning is definitely the Empress, and you are all my Empresses!" Xu Qingfan pulled the girl over to comfort her.

"You wish!" Xia Xiaoxiao was the first to object.

Wu Lingyu glanced at Xu Qingfan and then at Xia Xiaoxiao, her eyes darting around as if deep in thought.

Zhang Yiyi smiled quietly, clearly enjoying the atmosphere.

“We’re ignoring Wan Ning. We’re the Queen of the Women’s Kingdom, and Fan Ge is our personal eunuch!” Xiao Ruanwen pulled Lin Wan Ning back to her side, keeping him far away from Xu Qingfan.

Lin Wanning reluctantly left Xu Qingfan's embrace. She really wanted to say, "I just want to be Qingfan's queen," but since she wasn't a child anymore and there were so many people around, she was too embarrassed to say it directly.

"Xiao Fanzi, stay away from us!" Xia Xiaoxiao linked arms with Zhang Yiyi and Wu Lingyu, glared at him, and quickened her pace.

Lin Wanning was also being dragged along by Xiao Ruanwen, and the girl could only turn around and give Xu Qingfan a helpless look.

Xu Qingfan shook his head and smiled, then kicked a small pebble onto the road.

The music store they were going to was only about 800 meters away from Biguiyuan. Because they had contacted each other by phone in advance, Fang Xiaoya was already waiting for them at the cashier when they entered the store.

"Sister Xiaoya!"

"Sister Xiaoya!"

"You're here." Fang Xiaoya nodded and smiled, then got up and led them to the music room on the second floor.

Fang Xiaoya was Guan Bianyue's high school classmate, a top student who graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music, and also their go-to arranger for their New Year's Eve performances in elementary school. "I thought about it at home last night. None of you can play the pipa or guzheng, so we'll have to use the electronic keyboard and guitar instead." Fang Xiaoya distributed the sheet music she had printed out to the group. "Xiaofan, you're the drummer. Ruanwen and Xiaoxiao, you're the bassist and guitarist, respectively. Wanning, you'll play the electronic keyboard. Lingyu and Yiyi, you two will play the xiao and ocarina, respectively."

Neither Wu Lingyu nor Zhang Yiyi could read sheet music, and both of them looked like they wanted to say something.

"It's okay, just practice a short section, it's easy to learn." Seeing the two of them looking unsure, Fang Xiaoya smiled and comforted them.

"Ok!"

After receiving the sheet music, everyone familiarized themselves with their respective parts. Xu Qingfan happened to be able to play the ocarina, so he was responsible for training Wu Lingyu, while Fang Xiaoya herself taught Zhang Yiyi the short flute.

Both of them were naturally intelligent, and since the melodies and rhythms they were responsible for were repetitive, they quickly mastered them.

"Let's rehearse once, everyone get ready and take your positions." Fang Xiaoya clapped her hands, signaling everyone to stop playing their instruments.

"The prelude begins!"

After Fang Xiaoya finished speaking, Lin Wanning placed his hand on the electronic keyboard keys, and at the same time, Wu Lingyu began to play the ocarina.

"In a world of flowers and brocade~" Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruanwen instantly got into character and started singing as the intro was about to end.

"Drum!" Fang Xiaoya reminded her.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qingfan struck the drum with his drumstick.

"He sings of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, every step and every word is filled with longing." Both girls have already passed puberty, and their Peking Opera singing is melodious and pleasant to listen to.

After the first rehearsal, the six of them looked at each other with delight, clearly satisfied with their tacit understanding on their first try.

"That's pretty good for the first time, let's rehearse a few more times!"

"it is good!"

"."

From 9:00 to 12:30, they didn't even go to the toilet once. They rehearsed more than 20 times until their stomachs started growling with hunger, at which point they had to stop.

"Sister Xiaoya, thank you for your trouble. We'd like to treat you to lunch!" Xu Qingfan bought water and throat lozenges from the supermarket downstairs and distributed them to the women, while also saying to Xiaoya.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you!" she replied with a smile.

Fang Xiaoya really enjoys spending time with the kids; it makes her feel younger, and more importantly, it helps her rediscover the youthful feeling she had when she played in a band in high school.

"Sister Xiaoya, you don't need to be polite with him. He's very rich. Let's eat like royalty!"

"Hahaha!" As soon as Xia Xiao finished speaking, the small training room seemed to have been transformed into a land of women, with the girls' laughter echoing throughout the room.

For lunch, they went to a nearby Western restaurant. However, since none of them drank alcohol, it was impossible to have a lavish meal. After all, it wasn't a Michelin-starred restaurant, and even the most expensive steak was only a couple hundred yuan a serving.

The piano piece Canon was playing in the restaurant, and Xu Qingfan subconsciously glanced at Fang Xiaoya out of the corner of his eye.

I first met her when I was in the first grade of elementary school. At that time, she also had beautiful long hair, but I don't know why she cut it short later.

The next time he saw her, she had a buzz cut and wore exaggerated earrings, which nearly scared Xu Qingfan to death.

Six years have passed, and the short hair of that time has now grown into long hair. Xu Qingfan intuitively felt that the other person was also a person with a story.

It's worth mentioning that she also participated in the 2004 Super Girl competition and successfully made it into the top 100 nationwide, but unfortunately she was eliminated in the top 50 to 20 round.

At the time, it even made it into the local newspaper, and there was a special support group for her in Licheng, including Xiao Ruanwen and Xia Xiaoxiao.

However, after returning, she neither chose to debut nor to continue participating in talent shows to pursue her dreams. Instead, she quietly continued to run her music store. Now, several years later, the bustling atmosphere of the past has long since vanished.

As lunch was drawing to a close, Fang Xiaoya took the opportunity to go to the restroom to pay the bill, only to be politely told by the cashier, "The boy at your table has already paid for your meal."

After saying thank you, she returned to her seat. As she left, another detail caught Fang Xiaoya's attention: all five girls got up and left quite calmly, which clearly showed that Xu Qingfan's actions were not accidental.

[No wonder this kid can get along so well with five beautiful young ladies!] Fang Xiaoya thought with envy.

After a quick lunch, they returned to the music store to continue their rehearsals.

The afternoon rehearsal was a significant improvement over the morning one; the six of them were working together more and more seamlessly, and they were more than capable of handling a school performance.

It has to be said that the six of them are perfect in terms of teamwork, since the most important thing in forming a band is whether the members can get along.

As it approached five o'clock, Fang Xiaoya copied the video recorded by the camera to her computer and forwarded it to Xu Qingfan's QQ, saying, "Let's stop the rehearsal here. Spend some time at home to review it and watch the video one last time to find any problems."

"Ok!"

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoya!"

"Sister Xiaoya, we'll buy this xiao and ocarina. How much?" Xu Qingfan, brimming with wealth, pulled out a stack of 100-yuan bills.

"Look at you, so capable. Here's three hundred, it's not worth much."

"Thank you for your trouble, Sister Xiaoya!" Xu Qingfan didn't stand on ceremony and took out three hundred yuan from his pocket to hand to her.

After all, just those few of them spent nearly 100,000 yuan on musical instruments here, not even counting the cost of introducing their elementary school classmates to buy them.

Goodbye, Sister Xiaoya!

Come visit often when you have time.

After saying goodbye to the music store, the six of them strolled aimlessly along the sidewalk.

Xu Qingfan felt like he'd forgotten something, so he asked the others, "I feel like I've forgotten something, can you help me remember?"

"Did you forget to log into the QQ Speed ​​leisure area?" Lin Wanning was the first to respond.

"No, I don't care about that stuff." Xu Qingfan reached out and flicked the girl's forehead.

"Humph~"

"I hung the clothes out to dry this morning," Wu Lingyu reminded her.

"Oh, I really forgot about that, but it's not this one!" Xu Qingfan suddenly remembered that his mother had asked him to hang up the laundry last night, but he had forgotten because he was too busy.

"Did your aunt ask you to buy something and you forgot?" Xiao Ruanwen also said.

"No, no, my mom hasn't even gotten out of bed yet, how could she ask me to buy things!" Xu Qingfan scratched his head, trying to remember what he had forgotten.

"We're not mind readers, how would we know what you've forgotten!" Xia Xiaoxiao said irritably.

"Dog!" Zhang Yi suddenly remembered the scene before leaving home that morning, when Xu Qingfan said he would go back to feed the dog at noon.

"Damn it! I forgot to feed the dog!!" Xu Qingfan slapped his thigh and suddenly realized.

"Ah~ Hurry up and feed Xiaobai, he's starving!" Lin Wanning stomped his feet anxiously.

Little White, a thousand meters away, was indeed dying, but not from starvation; he suffocated.

It hasn't gone to the toilet all day!
Xiaobai: Does anyone in the family understand this?!
