I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 281. It was all done by the little brother.
When some people experience a great shock, they usually don't scream, but instead just stand there dumbfounded with their minds blank, like Xia Xiaoxiao right now.

The girl's left hand was still under her body, while her right hand was raised high in the air, seemingly forgetting what she was trying to do. Her expression was complex, a mixture of surprise, shame, and anger.

However, Xu Qingfan was still in a dream. Soaking in the warm spring water, he felt incredibly comfortable, and his face showed an expression of enjoyment he had never seen before.

After sitting down on a huge rock at the bottom of the water, he put his arms on the shore.

There seemed to be a spring under the rock, so the temperature was much higher than in other areas. Xu Qingfan comfortably tensed all his muscles and gripped everything he could with both hands.

"Hmm~"

Back to reality, after letting out a pleasant groan of pain, Xia Xiaoxiao's brain regained control of her body.

She immediately tried to pull Xu Qingfan's large hand away, which was currently causing trouble, but she was worried about waking him up, and the stinky dog ​​was being very forceful, so she couldn't succeed for a long time.

What made the girl even more ashamed and indignant was that she found her body gradually becoming weaker, and her desire to push away the stinky dog's hand seemed to be less strong.

[It's his fault for not letting go. It's all his fault!]
Xia Xiaoxiao simply pretended to be a coward and closed her eyes to bury her head in the sand, but the stimulation received by her cerebral cortex was constantly challenging her nerves.

How to describe this feeling? Well, even someone who's been a regular on Baidu Tieba for years wouldn't know how. It just felt like something was about to break.
The girl's ten adorable toes gripped the bedsheet tightly, her hands clenched into fists with nowhere to go.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Qingfan, still asleep, seemed to have adjusted to the temperature of the rocks. His tense nerves relaxed again, and he put his two bare hands, which had been exposed on the shore, back into the water.

The bedroom was very quiet, with the doors and windows locked. The only sounds were the hum of the air conditioner and the creaking of the wooden bed.

After a short while, the wooden bed stopped shaking, and the air conditioner stopped cooling after the indoor temperature returned to sixteen degrees Celsius.

However, the room did not become any quieter; the girl's heavy breathing replaced the original decibel level.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know what she was feeling at that moment. All she wanted was to escape this place as quickly as possible, and that's what she was doing.

After pulling her hand away from Xu Qingfan, she felt dizzy and unsteady as she got out of bed, put on her shoes, and staggered out of the room.

A few minutes later, Xia Xiaoxiao returned to her bedroom. The moment she closed the door, the girl was exhausted and slumped softly onto the floor, leaning against the door.

She sat there blankly, her arms wrapped around her knees, her face still flushed, the redness extending to her neck, like an ocean ravaged by plankton.

It's unclear what the girl was thinking at that moment; she would sometimes stare blankly, sometimes frown, and sometimes giggle foolishly. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was filming some kind of facial expression imitation challenge.

After a long while, Xia Xiaoxiao stood up again. Having regained some strength, she opened the wardrobe to look for a change of clothes.

As she prepared to go out again, she noticed a small wet patch on the wooden floor by the door.

Xia Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned red again. She hurriedly grabbed some tissues to destroy the evidence, and after finishing, she clutched them in her palm and ran to the bathroom as if fleeing.

As the cool tap water flowed down from above, Xia Xiaoxiao finally regained some of her former wisdom.

Looking at the clothes she had just changed out of, a terrifying thought suddenly popped into her head: [That stinky dog's sheets... I hope they're not wet.]
If Xia Xiaoxiao had to choose again, she'd say whatever she wanted, and she'd probably still let that stinky dog ​​sleep here.

Xia Xiaoxiao was worried about the bed sheets, and she began to feel anxious, so she quickened her pace while taking a shower.

At the same time, another question inevitably came to her mind: if this happened both times she slept with this stinky dog, what about Lin Wanning?

Lin Wanning has slept with this stinky dog ​​far more times than she has. Have they ever had anything similar happen between them? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was already like this after only two experiences with him. What about Lin Wanning after so many times?

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't realize that she was actually applying a double standard. Xu Qingfan could treat her this way, but he couldn't treat others like this!

When asked why, the answer was that it's because the boys and girls are too big and they shouldn't touch each other!
As for myself and that stinky dog, that was just an accident!
If she knew Xu Qingfan's wise words, the girl would probably sigh and say, "I just made the mistake that every woman makes!"

[He promised me he wouldn't let Lin Wanning crawl into bed with him!]
After rinsing off the foam, Xia Xiaoxiao picked up a towel hanging behind the door and dried herself.

Without even drying her hair, the girl dressed and rushed back to Xu Qingfan's bedroom.

When the girl hopefully lifted the covers, she couldn't escape Murphy's Law.

Xia Xiaoxiao felt that she was doomed. If this stinky dog ​​didn't know about what happened, she could numb herself and pretend that nothing had happened, just like last time.

But if that stinky dog ​​found out, the girl couldn't even imagine the consequences. Just thinking about it made her toes clench into the ground, wishing she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

"Meow~"

Just as Xia Xiaoxiao was falling into despair, a cat's meow, like a shooting star piercing the night, brought her hope.

The girl looked down at the cat rubbing against her feet, a malicious expression on her face.

She bent down, grabbed the cat's two front paws, and lifted it high into the air.

"Meow?" The little brother yawned and then let out a confused meow.

"Little brother, don't blame me, I didn't want this to happen either."

A few minutes later, eerie meows came from the bathroom. Anyone with a little experience raising cats would know that a cat was taking a bath.

"Old Wu~ Old Wu~"

"Okay, stop yelling. You'll smell nice after your bath, and you'll have a bed to sleep in. Be good, I'll buy you some prawns later." Xia Xiaoxiao comforted it while giving it a massage.

"Meow meow~"

Because she was worried that Xu Qingfan might suddenly wake up, she didn't dare to wash for too long. She simply rinsed off after creating a layer of foam.

After wiping the fur off its body with a towel until it was completely dry, the girl furtively carried her half-wet little brother back to Xu Qingfan's bedroom.

Simply lift the blanket, toss the cat aside, and cover yourself back up – three easy steps, and you're all done.

Xia Xiaoxiao left the room quietly with a smug look on her face and sat down on the living room sofa with a sigh of relief.

After an unknown amount of time, someone's wailing and howling echoed from the bedroom.

"Xia Xiaoxiao, are you an idiot? Why did you let this stinky cat in here, especially since it's wet?!"
