I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 259. Who launched the night attack on Xu Qingfan?
"6108, please take your room key." In the magnificent lobby, the waiter respectfully handed the room key to Xu Qingfan.

"Thank you." Xu Qingfan nodded, took the money, and then held it between his fingers, twirling and playing with it.

"Let's go, let's go upstairs and put our luggage down first, then we can wander around." He turned around and walked back to the five girls, taking his suitcase back from Lin Wanning.

"Let's go~" The five girls all wore rabbit ear headbands they had just bought at the souvenir shop, and their cool, knee-length dresses attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the lobby.

It wasn't until the six people pushed their luggage into the elevator that everyone seemed to realize what was happening and looked away.

The receptionist who had just helped Xu Qingfan check in also looked away, blushing as she whispered, "She really knows how to have fun."

Clearly, because they only booked one room, this young lady was having some rather embarrassing thoughts on her mind.

Every year during winter and summer vacations, our small group of six would take a week-long trip, and this time our destination was Hong Kong.

After walking through the long corridor to the room door, Xu Qingfan took out his door card and opened the door.

When the door opened, a small living room decorated in a medieval style came into view, with various Disney figurines displayed on the sofa and coffee table.

After the five girls came in, he closed the door again, completely isolating the outside world from the six of them.

"It looks pretty good, worth the price of admission." Xu Qingfan inserted the access card and turned on the power, then observed the layout of the room for a week.

Seeing the dolls that cost several hundred yuan in the boutique right in front of her, Wu Lingyu's housekeeper nature kicked in again. She said, "If I had known they were here, I wouldn't have bought so many."

The room they booked cost over 8,000 yuan per night. The staff mentioned during check-in that the plush toys displayed in the room could be taken home upon check-out.

"If there are duplicates, just give them to someone else. Hurry up and pack your own luggage. The last one to pack will be responsible for carrying things!"

"not me!"

As soon as Xu Qingfan finished speaking, the four girls in the living room grabbed their luggage and ran back to the master bedroom. Seeing this, Wu Lingyu had no choice but to swallow back what she wanted to say and followed them into the room.

"This Xiaoyu is really suitable for a life together." He just smiled as he watched the five people leave.

After all five of them entered the room, he pushed his suitcase to the adjacent second bedroom.

It's not entirely unreasonable to blame the receptionist for having such wild thoughts. After all, a group of five women and one man could have easily booked a double room or a triple room, but they unexpectedly booked a family room. It's hard not to wonder what might have happened between the six of them in the master bedroom that night.

But we can't blame them. First, Xu Qingfan was worried about the safety of the five girls if he booked two rooms. Second, Wu Lingyu thought it was a waste of money to book a luxury suite or something similar. So they had to compromise and book a family suite instead.

The five mothers slept in the master bedroom, while Xu Qingfan, the obedient son, slept in the second bedroom.

Among the six-person group, apart from him, Lin Wanning, and Zhang Yiyi, who made a lot of money drawing comics, the richest of the other three was actually Wu Lingyu.

Good Taste Duck Neck has been making steady profits since the end of last year. The 5% stake initially given to Wu Lingyu's family, although reduced to less than 3% after a series of mergers and acquisitions, still brings Wu Lingyu's family several million yuan in dividends every year.

After the family's financial situation improved, out of guilt for not giving her daughter a good life when she was young, Li Meijuan not only frequently bought her designer clothes, but also gave her more pocket money each month than she could spend.

Nevertheless, Wu Lingyu still tries to save money whenever possible, as the frugal consumption habits she developed in childhood have taken root in her mind and are difficult to change.

The five girls quickly packed their luggage, with Xu Qingfan being the slowest, since he hadn't intended for any of the girls to carry anything.

"Brother Qingfan, we're all set!"

"Brother Fan, shall we go on a cruise tonight or go to Victoria Peak to see the night view?"

"And the Ferris wheel! Brother Qingfan, I want to ride the Ferris wheel!"

Lin Wanning and Xiao Ruanwen chatted back and forth, their tacit cooperation resembling a crosstalk performance.

"Let's go eat first, then take the cable car to the top of Victoria Peak to see the night view." Xu Qingfan was originally someone who didn't plan his trips, but after leading five girls on so many trips, he gradually developed the habit of making travel plans in advance.

"Great!"

The variety of local delicacies in Hong Kong is quite similar to that in Hong Kong, but the taste is slightly sweeter. However, the prices are more than three times higher.

After having their first dinner of the trip around 6 p.m., the group quickly digested their food and then took a taxi to Victoria Peak in the Central and Western District.

Around 8 or 9 p.m., the entire Hong Kong was shrouded in darkness. They took the cable car to the top of the mountain, where they were greeted by towering skyscrapers and the glittering lights of thousands of homes.

From the mountaintop, one can see Victoria Harbour and the entire Hong Kong skyline. Many young couples lean against the railings, embracing and kissing, while the bolder ones even use their hands and mouths.

"Brother Qingfan, the wind is so strong!"

"What did you say?"

"I said, the wind is so strong!"

The night view from the mountaintop is truly beautiful. The only downside is that it's incredibly windy. Unless you've failed advanced mathematics, I really wouldn't recommend coming here late at night if you're single.

After taking turns holding up the selfie stick for a group photo, the six people quickly took the cable car back down the mountain.

After leaving the crowd, the girls' faces were slightly flushed, and a few beads of sweat slid down their cheeks and dripped onto their fair collarbones.

"Do people here do things like this?" Recalling the intense battle she had just witnessed on the mountaintop, Xiao Ruanwen asked rather awkwardly.

“I feel like some of them aren’t even as old as us.” Xia Xiaoxiao shook her head with a look of disgust, finding such licentious behavior unacceptable.

Zhang Yiyi was as quiet as ever, Wu Lingyu's mind had gone blank after witnessing the mind-blowing scene, and Lin Wanning stood next to Xu Qingfan with a silly grin, no one knew what he was thinking.

"You'll get used to it. That's how it is abroad. Maybe they'll even think we're outdated." Xu Qingfan shrugged. In a few years, the girls might not care about what happened earlier.

"Ok."

"Let's go, Wan Ning, what are you spacing out for?" The group started to walk back to the hotel, but Lin Wan Ning was still standing there grinning like an idiot. Xu Qingfan reached out and pulled her back.

"Oh, okay." Lin Wanning snapped out of her daze. To avoid arousing suspicion, she shook her head and changed the subject, saying, "Why are all the students here dating so early? I just saw them putting their hands inside each other." "We were just talking about that, Wanning, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ruanwen turned to look at her in confusion.

"Huh?" Lin Wanning blinked, then glanced guiltily at Xu Qingfan before saying, "I was just thinking about what gift to buy for my mom, hehe."

"I've already decided on this. I want to buy cosmetics for my mom!"

"It looks pretty good!"

"."

The six of them chatted and laughed, and it was already 10:30 p.m. when they returned to the hotel.

When I came back, many roadside stalls had already closed. It seems that Hong Kong's nightlife only lasts until around 10 p.m., unlike their port city where nightlife just begins around 10 p.m.

After taking a quick shower, Xu Qingfan took out his laptop and lay on the bed surfing the web.

After connecting to the network card here, he first opened QQ Space to steal some vegetables before opening Sina Weibo to see how the post he made two days ago was doing.

Today is June 11th. The World Cup opening ceremony started an hour ago, so it's likely that the second half is already underway.

Xu Qingfan didn't remember the wins and losses of each Group A match very well, so he didn't place any bets on tonight's game.

When I opened the post I made the day before yesterday, the number of likes had exceeded 50,000, the number of reposts was over 10,000, and even more astonishingly, the number of comments showed more than 500,000.

However, considering what he said about giving away 10,000 yuan in cash to one person for every wrong guess in the comments section, it's not surprising that there were so many comments.

Before even opening the comments section, Xu Qingfan could already imagine netizens defecating on his face.

When he clicked on it, the top ten comments were, unsurprisingly, all of them were kind greetings to him.

[On the second floor, people are gathering to watch a fool; those who are foolish and have too much money, come quick!]

[This blogger is clearly a pretentious fake football fan who doesn't know anything. Italy was the 06 World Cup champion, and France was the 06 runner-up. How dare you say that neither country can advance? I can tolerate you, France, since Group A is indeed a group of death, but what kind of trash is Group F? Do you think Italy can lose?]

[You idiot, you probably haven't even heard of Nigeria. Let me tell you, two years ago it won a silver medal at the Olympics. You're telling me it can't qualify? (If I were drawn, I'd be a real hottie!)]

[Just waiting to collect the money, I hope the blogger won't go back on their word?]

【.】

Xu Qingfan browsed through the comments for a while. Although the comments were either about the lottery or criticizing him, he still found them fascinating.

Netizens' words are deceiving. The harsher they are now, the more they'll be cursing him. But once they realize he can predict every single game with 100% accuracy, the comments section will be filled with people begging him for forgiveness.

The three teams with the highest chance of winning the championship this year are Samba, Spain and Argentina. Xu Qingfan remembers that the first upset in the group stage happened in Spain, who lost 0-1 to the little-known Switzerland.

The predictions for the group stage will not come true for at least ten days. To maintain the momentum, we need to write another short essay that will break into the mainstream during this period.

Xu Qingfan typed on the keyboard and quickly wrote a post titled "Don't Disbelieve It, the First Upset Will Happen."

Although he doesn't know much about football, his analysis of cause and effect is still quite basic. First, he analyzed the players' physical condition: Torres had just recovered from a major injury and his form had declined significantly. Second, he considered their playing style: Spain has always been attack-oriented, and they would inevitably be frustrated by Switzerland's ability to counterattack. Finally, he analyzed the mentality of both sides. In short, the conclusion is that pride comes before a fall, and Spain is destined to lose this time!

He concluded by writing: "Brother Xin, follow my lead. I boldly predict that Switzerland will win against Spain by a narrow margin of 0:1. Bet with my brother and you'll be living in a villa by the sea!"
Xu Qingfan grinned and posted the content on Sina Weibo. Once this post was published, the comment section was bound to be filled with people beating their brains out.

He immediately opened the comments section, and there were already dozens of comments on the post he had just made, which shows that the World Cup is indeed very popular.

He commented: "I guessed wrong this time. I'll randomly select ten people from the comments section to receive a cash prize of 100,000 yuan!"

After finishing everything, Xu Qingfan quietly shut down his computer.

The prediction feature on Haowei Takeaway went live this morning, but Xu Qingfan doesn't plan to attract users so early. He thinks it's best to wait until after the group stage.

As social media platforms, Sina has tens of millions of daily active users, while Haowei Waimai's community section only has a few hundred thousand users and a few million registered users.

"I wonder if this wave of operations will increase daily active users tenfold," Xu Qingfan muttered to himself.

He was very confident about this marketing campaign because you can always believe in the madness of gambling addicts.

"Brother Qingfan, why aren't you asleep yet?" Lin Wanning poked her head in after opening the door and saw Xu Qingfan still playing on his phone in bed. She said.

The girl had just finished showering and was only wearing a thin nightgown, with traces of water still remaining on her snow-white neck.

"I'm going to sleep soon, please turn off the light for me. Goodnight, Wanning." Xu Qingfan made an 'OK' gesture and said to her.

"Hehe~ Goodnight, Brother Qingfan!" Lin Wanning obediently came in, turned off the light for him, closed the door again, and left.

They were going to Disneyland early the next day, so Xu Qingfan put his phone away, pulled the covers over himself, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
midnight.

The sound of even, rising and falling breathing filled the master bedroom. Suddenly, one of the breaths changed its rhythm and eerily stopped.

A moment later, a figure quietly got out of bed and quietly, very quietly, moved the blanket covering the body.

Like a secret agent in an American TV series, he didn't make a sound in the room except for breathing until he got off the bed and hugged the wall.

The room was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. If someone were wearing night vision goggles, they would see that someone was slowly moving their body in a strange posture inside the room.

It felt like an eternity before the door to the room was gently opened a crack from the inside, and then quickly closed again.

After doing all this, the girl was already sweating profusely and her heart was pounding.

After taking a deep breath to calm herself, she looked at the door of the second bedroom and walked towards it with a determined gaze.

Soon, the door to the second bedroom was opened and closed again. The person moved stealthily to the bed, getting closer and closer until they were right next to the person on the bed before stopping.

After an unknown amount of time, the even breathing sounds in the room changed from one to two.
