I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 271. Wan Ning told me everything~
The prize redemption process went very smoothly, and after paying the tax, the money was quickly deposited into my bank account.

Xu Qingfan originally wanted to bet on the Spain vs. Switzerland match on the 16th, but after inquiring, he found that the official odds had not yet been compiled, so he had to give up.

When they returned to the hotel after buying some afternoon tea, the four girls were playing games in the living room. Lin Wanning was not among them, presumably having taken his medicine and gone to sleep.

"Brother!" Zhang Yi's surprise flashed across his eyes, but then, remembering the shocking information he had just heard, his gaze unconsciously drifted down to Xu Qingfan's lower body.

"Brother Fan, you're back." Xiao Ruanwen was playing the game "Forest Fire and Ice" with Xia Xiaoxiao on 4399, so she only glanced at him from the side.

"Brother Fan."

"I bought you some food." Xu Qingfan handed the things he was holding to Zhang Yiyi and Wu Lingyu.

"Do you have milk tea?" Xia Xiaoxiao paused the game and ran over with Xiao Ruanwen to check.

"You can see for yourselves, is Wan Ning asleep?" he said as he walked toward the bedroom door.

"Hmm," Zhang Yiyi whispered a reminder.

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at the back of the stinky dog, and the milk tea in her hand suddenly lost its appeal. A strange thought suddenly came to her mind: "I wish I were the one who was sick inside."

As expected, Lin Wanning was fast asleep in the room, and his sleeping posture was rather comical, like a dog lying on its back. However, he was properly covered with a blanket, which suggested that Zhang Yiyi and Wu Lingyu had been checking on him from time to time.

Xu Qingfan reached out and touched the girl's forehead. She still had a slight fever. Although a fever and a cold are just minor illnesses, it would be unrealistic to expect her to recover in less than three to five days.

The sleeping girl seemed to have caught a whiff of Qingfan's scent, and a sweet, silly smile suddenly appeared on her face, her two adorable dimples making one want to poke them.

"Let's see if you dare to act recklessly again." Xu Qingfan poked her dimple with his finger and muttered softly.

Back in the living room, the four girls continued playing computer games around the coffee table.

Xu Qingfan, unable to resist, tapped Xia Xiaoxiao's head with his finger and asked, "Anyone want to go out for a walk with me?"

"No, it's boring." Xia Xiaoxiao said without even looking up, completely absorbed in operating her Bingbing.

"We just went out to look around, but there wasn't much to do, and the beach was too sunny."

Zhang Yiyi wanted to go, but the thought of staying to take care of Lin Wanning made her words catch in her throat.

Wu Lingyu secretly clenched her fists, but still said against her will, "Brother Fan, you and Yi Yi go. I'll stay here to take care of Wan Ning."

Zhang Yiyi's pupils lit up almost imperceptibly. She leaned forward and gave Wu Lingyu a light kiss on the cheek. "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoyu!"

"It's nothing." She simply smiled and waved her hand, concealing the fleeting disappointment well.

Xu Qingfan didn't notice anything, and naturally patted Wu Lingyu's head, then took Zhang Yiyi's wrist, "Let's go then, I'll buy you anything fun you like."

"Hmm!" Wu Lingyu stood still, watching the two open and close the door until they disappeared from sight.

The girl simply pursed her lips and then went into the bedroom to check if Lin Wanning had kicked off the blankets.

She seems to have always been like this, never competing or fighting, even if it means sacrificing her own happiness, she always tries to make her friends around her happy.

Zhang Yiyi seemed to be in a good mood, humming a cheerful melody as she skipped along, even though Xu Qingfan was holding her hand.

Although it was only a slight tiptoeing, it was a stark contrast to her usual ladylike demeanor. When her brother was around, Lin Wanning was usually there too, and Wanning would skip and hop around holding her brother's hand, just like she was doing now. Zhang Yiyi imitated this for a while and found it quite joyful.

Since Xu Qingfan usually held Lin Wanning's hand like this, he didn't feel awkward when the other person suddenly changed to Zhang Yiyi. The two strolled leisurely in the hotel's public area.

After all, it's a hotel that costs 8,000 yuan a night, so it has quite a lot of amenities, including a swimming pool, billiards, and some Disney-related activities and exhibitions.

Xu Qingfan asked Zhang Yiyi for her opinion, but the girl just shook her head, so the two of them did not stay.

She rarely had time alone with her brother, and she didn't want to waste it on these boring activities. She wanted to just hold hands and walk on and on, even to the ends of the earth, and she would be content.

A gust of wind blew by, and the clouds obscured the sun, as if a light switch had been flipped, causing the sky to darken slightly.

The two walked out of the lobby hand in hand. Suddenly, Zhang Yiyi grabbed his hand and pulled him to run on the grass and stone-paved ground.

"Brother, let's go see the sea!" She turned around and flashed the most beautiful smile in the world, like a spring day in April, with a harbinger of spring and flowers blooming in their time.

Xu Qingfan rarely saw such a lively side of the girl; she was basically the kind of girl described in ancient poems as still as a virgin and swift as a rabbit.

"it is good!"

The blue-and-white long dress fluttered in the wind, and her long hair, which swept back, occasionally brushed against the boy's face. It was such a beautiful scene, but unfortunately, the flip-flops she was wearing were a bit of an eyesore.

There were many couples strolling along the beach, so the two of them joined in like one of them.

They looked like a couple who had eloped for love, running along the coastline. Many passersby cast curious glances their way. The girl was pure and pretty, and the boy was sunny and handsome. People's faces all wore the same smile.

It wasn't because the scene was particularly beautiful, but rather because the constant "tap-tap" sound of slippers stomping on the floor was strangely amusing.

Zhang Yiyi seemed tireless, pulling Xu Qingfan along for over a thousand meters until they were far away from the crowd. Only then did she slow down, putting one hand on her hip and panting heavily.

Xu Qingfan helped her tidy up her messy bangs and said with a smile, "So Yiyi has such a lively side too?"

Zhang Yi looked up at him and said, "There's a lot more that my brother doesn't know."

Xu Qingfan rubbed the girl's head and then put his arm around her shoulder as they strolled slowly along the shore.

At one point, the sun broke free from the clouds, and its scorching rays shone down on the earth once more. Fortunately, there was still a patch of pure land beneath the bluestone wall.

The two leaned against the wall to rest, and the small square shadow became their foothold.

Zhang Yiyi suddenly pointed to the sun overhead and said, "Brother is the sun."

Xu Qingfan looked at her curiously and asked, "Why? Do you want to praise me for being warm, warming everyone?"

The girl smiled slyly, shook her head, and covered her mouth, saying, "What I mean is, the sun will explode one day and kill everyone!"

"Pfft~ You've gone astray, daring to talk about your brother like that!" He gently patted the girl's forehead.

The next second, the girl said something that left him speechless.

"Wan Ning told me everything~"
