I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 273. Auntie, you smell so good.

Because Lin Wanning's cold hadn't gotten better, and after staying in Hong Kong for another day, they set off back to Lai Shing on June 15th.

Lin Wanning felt very guilty about this. Originally, everyone could have had a good seven-day trip to Hong Kong. Ocean Park, Bauhinia Square, Chungking Mansions (featured in Wong Kar-wai's film), and many other places were not visited.

"It's okay, it doesn't even take an hour by high-speed rail. We can come again next time." Seeing Lin Wanning's downcast mood, Xiao Ruanwen comforted her.

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at Lin Wanning, then quickly turned her gaze back to the scenery outside the window.

They bought soft-seat tickets for the high-speed train directly to Gangcheng South Station. There were three seats in a row, and the six of them occupied two rows, so they didn't need to share seats with strangers.

Xu Qingfan squeezed the girl's hand and said softly to the others, "I think we should think about what to eat later. The food here is the best."

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, I want to eat at Shankala Farm. I've been eating Western food these past few days. It's okay to eat it occasionally, but I really can't stand eating it too much." Xiao Ruanwen said, rubbing her soft belly.

Upon hearing that it was about rice, Lin Wanning instantly perked up. Her eyes sparkled as she asked, "Brother Qingfan, can I have some roasted chicken wings now? You all eat Western food, and I've only had plain porridge these past few days~" As she spoke, her face involuntarily fell.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Xu Qingfan tugged at her ahoge and said, "Who told you not to take care of your body? You can eat, but only a little."

"How much is one point?" Lin Wanning nodded vigorously; she was truly fed up with these past few days of utter boredom.

"The only thing I can give you is the chicken butt; the drumsticks, wings, and wing tips are all ours!"

"I don't want a chicken butt~ Brother Qingfan, you're playing tricks on me again!"

"a ha ha ha!"

In a short while, the train arrived at its final stop.

The six of them got off the train with their luggage. As soon as they exited the station, they saw Zhang Chunxue standing in the most conspicuous place not far away, looking at them from afar.

"Mom!" Zhang Yiyi left her suitcase behind and rushed towards her mother with joy.

The mother and daughter embraced happily at the crowded train station entrance. Xu Qingfan picked up Zhang Yiyi's suitcase and quickened his pace with the four girls to come to their side.

Seeing that her daughter's classmates had all arrived, Zhang Chunxue patted Yi Yi on the back, and the girl obediently let go of her mother's arms.

"Is the poor pig sick?" She gently hugged Lin Wanning and bent down to rest her cheek against the girl's forehead.

"Waaah~ Auntie, I'm so pitiful. I've been eating plain porridge for three days now, and Brother Qingfan wants me to eat chicken butts later!" Lin Wanning pitifully hugged Aunt Zhang and acted coquettishly.

Zhang Chunxue glared at Xu Qingfan and said with a smile, "Auntie will decide. Wan Ning will eat the chicken leg, and Xiao Fan can have the chicken butt."

Xu Qingfan shuddered involuntarily, not because he was scared by the chicken butt, but because the aunt's eyes were too lethal; every frown and smile seemed to bewitch one's soul.

"No need for that. Give the chicken butt to Xiaobai, Qingfan doesn't eat chicken butts." Lin Wanning poked his head out from under his aunt's neck and grinned at Xu Qingfan.

After letting go of Lin Wanning, Zhang Chunxue hugged Xia Xiaoxiao, Wu Lingyu, and Xiao Ruanwen in turn.

When it was Xu Qingfan's turn, seeing everyone looking at him, he simply opened his arms openly and said, "Come on, Auntie."

"Pfft~" Zhang Chunxue was amused by him and gently hugged him with a smile.

She didn't know when it started, but the little boy who used to only reach her lower abdomen had grown taller than her.

Before she could finish her reflection, Zhang Chunxue exclaimed in surprise, "Ah~" It turned out that Xiao Fan had unexpectedly picked her up and spun her around in the crowded train station.

"Hehe~ Auntie, you're a bit light, you must not have eaten properly again." Before Zhang Chunxue could come to her senses, Xu Qingfan released his hands from her slender waist and took a step back.

Their combination of five young women, one older woman, and six beauties was already eye-catching, but after Xu Qingfan's outburst, many passersby stopped to watch.

"Nonsense." Zhang Chunxue's face flushed slightly. She glared at the instigator before smoothing out the wrinkles on her shirt.

Apart from Zhang Yiyi and Lin Wanning, the three girls were all dumbfounded. They never expected that this Brother Fan (the stinky dog) would be so bold as to dare to flirt with Aunt Zhang, who has such a strong aura.

"Hehe~ Auntie, let's go out first. If we stay any longer, the flight attendants will be looking for us." Xu Qingfan, the sycophant, stepped forward and took the bag from the auntie's hand.

Zhang Chunxue was taken aback. When she looked up, she realized that a lot of people had gathered around them. She glared at Xu Qingfan before saying, "Let's go out first. Auntie will take you to eat something delicious."

"Thank you, aunt!"

"thanks Mom!"

Xu Qingfan pushed his luggage and followed behind the six people, a faint smile on his lips.

It's fine to occasionally take advantage of Aunt Zhang; that's how the two have always gotten along since they became acquainted.

It was Xu Qingfan who first noticed that Aunt Zhang always liked to tease him for no reason, watching his blushing and embarrassed expression, and then giggling.

Over time, he accepted it all, occasionally retaliating with some inappropriate remarks, such as "Auntie, you smell so good" or "Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore."

But given his age, it's not a big deal.

The relationship between the two is like that of a mother and son, but even more like that of friends.

In Zhang Chunxue's mind, Xu Qingfan has always been a reliable person when it comes to important matters, but he always acts like a child when it comes to trivial matters.

The seven people took the elevator to the parking garage below the station. Zhang Chunxue's secretary was already waiting there. When she saw them return, she quickly got out of the car to open the door and help them with their luggage.

However, Xu Qingfan just shook his head and smiled, "Let us boys do this kind of rough work." He patted his secretary's hand on the suitcase and said.

This secretary has been with Aunt Zhang for over ten years; even without that connection, this level of courtesy is expected.

The secretary was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew her hand. "Oh, okay...okay."

Zhang Chunxue smiled with satisfaction and followed the other girls into the car.

After Xu Qingfan got into the car and closed the door, the secretary secretly glanced at him in the rearview mirror before starting the car again.

Xu Qingfan noticed her gaze, but didn't pay much attention to it. That's the downside of being handsome; it makes you hard to deal with.

[But she must be over thirty this year, why isn't she married yet?]
"Mom, look."

Zhang Yiyi showed the photos on her phone to Zhang Chunxue, and soon the car was filled with the cheerful laughter of several girls.
