I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 269. Arrogance Ruins a Life

Xu Qingfan stayed with Lin Wanning in the hospital, chatting idly.

It was late at night, and the only sounds in the empty hospital lobby were the whispers of two people and the gradually even breathing of four girls.

Just as they were about to change the last IV drip, the nurse returned with a package of congee. After returning the card and bill to Xu Qingfan, she removed the needle and started the last IV drip.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Qingfan smiled and handed the bill back to the other party after signing it.

"It's no big deal. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just come and find me," the nurse replied in a mix of Cantonese and English.

"Hmm." Xu Qingfan lowered his head, thankfully managing not to laugh out loud.

He thought it was quite normal to talk like that when watching Hong Kong movies, but he really couldn't accept it in real life.

"The porridge is here. I'll wake them up so they can feed you." After the nurse left, he patted Lin Wanning's head and said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Lin Wanning suddenly felt that being sick was actually quite good, as he could be taken care of by Brother Qingfan.

He woke the four girls one after another, and they rested on the stool for more than an hour. They felt sore all over.

"Ha~ Are you leaving already?" Xiao Ruanwen asked, squinting and rubbing her shoulder.

"How is Wan Ning?"

"Thank you, Yi Yi, I feel much better!" Lin Wanning replied with a smile when she saw her good friend showing concern for her as soon as she woke up.

"What time is it?" Xia Xiaoxiao was a little grumpy when she woke up, scratching her head as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"It's 2:30. We'll probably finish the last bottle around 3:00. Let's all eat something first." He took out several bowls of seafood porridge and handed them to the four of them.

Has Wan Ning's fever subsided?

"It's not as hot as before."

"Let's see if you dare kick off the covers in your sleep again."

None of them ate a late-night snack right away. After regaining their senses, they all gathered around Lin Wanning to observe her. They took turns touching the girl's forehead and only felt relieved after confirming that her fever had subsided.

Xia Xiaoxiao really wanted to say that she didn't catch a cold by kicking off the blankets randomly; she clearly ran away to that stinky dog's room in the middle of the night.

"It's alright now." But all that came out of her mouth were words of concern.

"Thank you everyone. It's all my fault. Now we can't go to Ocean Park tomorrow," Lin Wanning said, looking at everyone with a sense of self-reproach.

"Hey~ I'm telling you, we can go to Ocean Park anytime, but it's most important for you to get well soon, Wan Ning." Xiao Ruanwen put down the seafood porridge she was about to eat and ran over to pinch Lin Wan Ning's cheek.

“Yes, going to Disneyland makes the trip worthwhile. It doesn’t matter whether we go to Ocean Park or not,” Wu Lingyu said with a very comforting smile.

"There are plenty of things to do at the hotel, let's focus on getting better first." Although Xia Xiaoxiao was unhappy with Lin Wanning's behavior of sneaking into bed with her in the middle of the night, she wouldn't start a fight at this time.

"Ah~" Zhang Yiyi just smiled gently and put the cooled porridge into the girl's mouth.

Lin Wanning opened his mouth, put the spoon in his mouth, and after swallowing the porridge, he said with a sore nose, "Mmm, thank you everyone!"

Looking at the harmonious and friendly scene of the five people in front of him, Xu Qingfan inexplicably thought of a famous scene from Tiny Times [rotten, stinky.jpg]. But it shouldn't be that bad. In the novel, the girls would fight because they couldn't control their lower bodies. One slept with that person's boyfriend, and the other slept with this person's girlfriend. All I can say is that the entertainment industry is really messy.

Xu Qingfan felt that with him around, those blond-haired men would have no chance to get close to the five girls, so nothing like that could happen.

[I hope they can stay this friendly forever.]
"Yi-yi, you should go eat something first. The seafood porridge won't taste good if it gets cold." After he finished his late-night snack, he patted Zhang Yi-yi on the shoulder to remind her.

"Mmm!" The girl winked and smiled at him, handing the remaining half bowl of white porridge to Xu Qingfan.

Lin Wanning was already full, but after Qingfan started feeding her, she suddenly felt like she could eat another bowl.

Xia Xiaoxiao bit her thin lips and watched Xu Qingfan feed Lin Wanning. The girl felt a pang of jealousy in her heart.

She recalled all her experiences from childhood to adulthood and realized that this stinky dog ​​had never fed her like this before.
But it seems that Xu Qingfan can't be blamed for this. From childhood to adulthood, whenever Xia Xiaoxiao was sick, although she hoped that this silly dog ​​would feed her, she would always say some arrogant words to refuse when Xu Qingfan actually did so.

"I don't need you to feed me!"

"It's not like I can't eat with one hand!"

Such a personality is something that has been cultivated since childhood. If she were to suddenly switch to acting coquettishly like Lin Wanning, not only would Xu Qingfan feel strange, but even the girl herself would feel shy and want to find a crack to crawl into.

So Xia Xiaoxiao really misses the time when they were little, when no matter how intimate their behavior was, it was allowed.

If she could do it all over again, she thought, perhaps she would have acted spoiled like Wan Ning from a young age.
After feeding Lin Wanning the last mouthful of porridge, the IV drip above his head was almost empty.

Xu Qingfan called a nurse to help remove the needle. After Lin Wanning's injection site stopped bleeding, he took out his phone and called the driver from earlier.

It was already 3:30 a.m. The night was incredibly enchanting; even without streetlights, the sky was a brilliant blue.

Xu Qingfan carried Lin Wanning out of the hospital building again, with the four girls following behind.

A gust of evening breeze blew by, and the group instinctively wrapped their coats tighter around themselves.

The car that was supposed to pick them up was already parked outside. Xu Qingfan put the girl in the back seat, then sat in the front passenger seat himself. After thanking the driver briefly, they quickly drove away from the hospital.

At 3 a.m. in Hong Kong, many office buildings were still brightly lit. I wonder if there really is so much work to do that I have to go to work again at 9 a.m. the next day. Aren't they worried about their health if they work overtime so late?

Many teahouses on the street are already open for business, and you can see the chefs wrapping pastries at the door when you pass by from a distance.

The six of them didn't return to the hotel until nearly four in the morning. The receptionist was the same one who had greeted them when they left. After asking a few questions about Lin Wanning's situation, the receptionist kindly pressed the elevator button for them.

The moment they opened the door and returned to their room, the four girls rushed into the master bedroom, simply took off their shoes, and fell asleep immediately. Lin Wanning, who was on his back, also fell asleep again.

Xu Qingfan sighed, helped each of them take off their socks and coats, covered them with blankets again, and turned the air conditioning up to 26 degrees Celsius before he could finally rest.

He pinched the cheeks of all five girls, and couldn't help but sigh, "Raising daughters is really tiring."

"Goodnight." He turned off the light and left.

The next second, a girl's murmur suddenly echoed in the bedroom, which had fallen into darkness again: "Goodnight."
