I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 308. Caught in the act again.

September 25th, 1 a.m.

The five girls' bedroom was pitch black. Apart from their even breathing, the only other sound was the whooshing of the air conditioner.

However, in this pitch-black night, a pair of bright eyes stood out so conspicuously.

The next moment, the owner of the eyes turned around and closed his eyes again.

[One thousand and one sheep, one thousand and two sheep, two thousand sheep]
Lin Wanning already regretted it. If she had the chance to choose again, the girl would never have made the wish to "see Brother Qingfan when she wakes up".

why?
Because I really can't sleep!

Since lying down at 11 o'clock, Lin Wanning has been thinking about the scenarios that might occur tomorrow.

How would Brother Qingfan gently wake her up, and how would he brush aside her bangs and lean down to give her a light peck on her smooth forehead?

Just thinking about it for a little while made Lin Wanning so excited that he couldn't sleep, his mind filled with endless imaginings and interpretations of the scene.

Clearly, the girl has developed "primary school student spring outing syndrome" again.

[One thousand. One thousand. One sheep]
Lin Wanning turned around again, only to realize with a sigh that he had accidentally drifted off again and had forgotten which sheep he was counting.

The night grew darker, but the girl's pupils shone brighter and brighter.

[Waaaaah, it won't break!]
For Lin Wanning, this was destined to be an incredibly difficult night.
Lin Wanning finally fell asleep in the latter half of the night, but only managed to doze off for a short while.

Because the thought that her brother Qingfan might be standing in front of her bed watching her made her wake up every now and then.

After going to sleep and waking up repeatedly, going through this cycle five or six times, the sun finally rose and the sky began to lighten.

Lin Wanning really didn't want to wait a moment longer. She hadn't fallen asleep since five o'clock, lying in bed waiting for Qingfan to arrive and wake her up from her pretense of sleep.

As a result, I've been lying here until almost dawn, and the scene I've been dreaming about all night still hasn't happened.

Lin Wanning didn't blame Qingfan for not keeping his promise and not waking her up after so long. She thought it was because she couldn't sleep that this was the case.

After lying in bed for another five or six minutes, Lin Wanning was willing to continue waiting, but her instinctively clenched legs told her that if she didn't go to the toilet now, she would have to wet her pants.

A minute later, the sound of rushing clear spring water came from the toilet.

Lin Wanning pulled up her pants and furtively peeked through the doorway. Only after confirming that her brother Qingfan hadn't happened to come in at that moment did she breathe a sigh of relief.

The four girls on the bed were still fast asleep. She had just gotten up and made very little noise. She had also put toilet paper in the toilet bowl when she went to the bathroom, so she did not wake them up.

To make it easier for her brother Qingfan to wake her up, she deliberately switched places with Zhang Yiyi before going to bed last night, so that she could sleep on the very edge of the bed.

Lin Wanning gently returned to the bedside, but hesitated again just as she was about to step onto the bed.

She now faced two choices: continue pretending to be asleep and wait for Brother Qingfan to come over, or take the initiative and make sure Brother Qingfan could see her as soon as he opened his eyes.

Time waits for no one, and six o'clock was getting closer and closer. Lin Wanning clenched his fist and finally chose the latter.

Having made his decision, Lin Wanning took off his slippers, held them in his hand, and quietly and slowly left the room.

[Hehe~ Wan Ning is here~]
She was the last to leave Xu Qingfan's room last night before going to bed, so she was sure the door wasn't locked from the inside.

Lin Wanning approached the door, gently turned the knob, and as expected, it opened.

She first peeked inside to observe. The curtains in Xu Qingfan's bedroom were completely opaque, and the room was shrouded in a gray haze. However, with the light filtering through the crack in the door, she could still vaguely make out that her brother Qingfan was fast asleep in bed.

"Hee hee~"

Lin Wanning slowly moved his body inside, and after closing the bedroom door again, everything was done.

[Qingfan is so slow! I think I'd better wake up and see Wanning!]
Thinking this, a pleasant smile appeared on her face as she tiptoed to the bedside and squatted down.

With this close-up observation, Lin Wanning could clearly see the outline of Qingfan's face: long eyelashes fluttering, thin lips slightly parted, and a high, straight nose that made one want to reach out and touch it.

[Qingfan is so handsome!]
Lin Wanning squatted quietly on the ground, resting her chin on her hands, anticipating the look of surprise and astonishment on Qingfan's face when he woke up and saw her.

Although it was a waiting process, compared to lying in bed herself, being able to watch her brother Qingfan sleep made the time pass more easily for the girl.

However, just as she had this thought, Xu Qingfan suddenly turned over, so that the Mid-Autumn Festival was facing her.

Lin Wanning pouted unhappily, glanced at the large empty space on the bed, and instantly felt the urge to lie down there.

The girl struggled internally for a long time, and it was as if an angelic Wan Ning and a devilish Wan Ning suddenly appeared in her mind.

Angel Wan Ning said, "[I already promised Qing Fan that I wouldn't sneak into bed with him, and Wan Ning can't break his promise!]"
But the devilish Wan Ning said, "[It's okay, it's not like I'm really crawling into bed, I just got tired of squatting and wanted to lie down for a bit. Besides, as long as I don't close my eyes, it doesn't count as crawling into bed!]"
Angel Wan Ning advised: [When the time comes, Brother Qing Fan will definitely say it's nonsense again, and then he'll get a spanking.]
The devilish Wan Ning further tempted, "[Today is Wan Ning's birthday, Brother Qing Fan definitely won't be angry. Besides, so what if I get a spanking? At worst, it'll be like that day, with Brother Qing Fan holding me.]"
In the end, the demon Wan Ning defeated the angel Wan Ning. After shaking his head, Lin Wan Ning regained control of his body.

The time of the battle between heaven and man, when projected into reality, was only a few dozen seconds.

Lin Wanning's thighs were a little numb from squatting for so long, but luckily there was a bed next door. After getting up, Lin Wanning lay down directly on the bed, and the slight noise did not wake Xu Qingfan from his sleep.

[My legs are numb and I just want to lie down for a bit, not get into bed!] She found another reason for herself.

Xu Qingfan's phone was on the bedside table. Lin Wanning was curious about what time it was, so she picked it up to check the time.

After pressing the power button, the screen that lit up showed a family photo of them dressed as maids that day, with the time displayed as 5:55.

[No wonder Qingfan hasn't gotten up yet; it's not six o'clock yet.]
Because Xu Qingfan had his back to her, Lin Wanning couldn't see her brother Qingfan, so she idly started playing with his phone.

There was nothing shameful on Xu Qingfan's phone, not even in his browser history, because he was such an upright person!
Lin Wanning had no intention of peeping into his privacy, as that would be extremely unethical!
She first opened QQ on her phone, found her chat window, clicked on it, and her fingers quickly tapped on the screen:

Happy 15th birthday, Wan Ning! Qingfan loves Wan Ning the most! Wan Ning is cute, kind, hardworking, friendly, and smart. I love Wan Ning the most!

"Hehehe~"

After editing and clicking send, Lin Wanning couldn't help but grin foolishly at the chat box.

[Of the five girls, I like Wan Ning the most because she's so well-behaved. She doesn't throw tantrums, doesn't talk back, and doesn't tease Qing Fan. Wan Ning is the best!]

Lin Wanning continued tapping on the screen, the blue light reflecting off her face, making her eyes look bright and alert. [And I also like Yi Yi the most. Yi Yi is just as well-behaved and adorable as Wanning. She looks especially beautiful when she smiles. Of the five girls, Wanning and Yi Yi are my favorites!]

Lin Wanning sent the message, then deleted it, then sent it again, sending himself more than ten messages in a row.

While she was enthusiastically thinking of all sorts of ways to praise herself, Xu Qingfan suddenly turned around again.

However, Lin Wanning's entire attention was focused on the small screen at that moment, and he did not notice.

If Qingfan said these things to her in real life, the girl would be overjoyed!

[When I turn seventeen, I'll definitely make Wan Ning and Yi Yi my girlfriends, and then the three of us will be together forever!]

Lin Wanning clicked to send the last message and stopped, satisfied.

Before she could delete the last message, the time on her phone jumped to 6:00, and the alarm clock went off immediately afterward.

She jumped in fright, frantically turning off the alarm. Just as she was about to delete the message, Xu Qingfan's voice suddenly echoed in her ear:

"What are you giggling at?"

Lin Wanning was so startled that she trembled and dropped her phone on the bed. "Ah~ Brother Qingfan, when did you wake up?"

"You woke up a few minutes ago. I saw you staring at your phone and grinning like an idiot, so I didn't interrupt you." Xu Qingfan reached out and pinched the girl's cheek, preparing to pick up the phone to see what she was looking at, something so funny.

Lin Wanning obediently squinted her eyes, feeling happy that Xu Qingfan didn't immediately question her about why she was lying in bed.

The next second, she saw Qingfan reach for his phone and, startled, lunged at him, crying, "Ah~ Qingfan, stop!"

[If Qingfan sees this, and he makes Wanning and Yiyi my girlfriends, my butt will really get a good spanking!]
"Pfft~ What are you doing?" Xu Qingfan exhaled a breath the moment he was pressed down. If it were a heavyweight, he could have restarted the race to see his great-grandmother.

Lin Wanning quickly composed herself. It was especially important not to panic in times like these. She braced herself against the headboard and leaned over to look at Xu Qingfan: "Hehe~ Good morning, Brother Qingfan!"

After she finished speaking, the girl's face kept getting closer and closer, and finally she kissed his stunned right eye.

Xu Qingfan had indeed forgotten about the phone incident, and blinked blankly, "Wait, why are you going against the Heavenly Gang?"

"Waaah~ I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about Qingfan coming, so I only slept for two hours!" Lin Wanning snuggled into his arms and acted coquettishly.

"I arrived around six o'clock, I didn't get into bed!" she quickly added, worried that Xu Qingfan might misunderstand.

"Then how come I see you lying in bed when I wake up?" Xu Qingfan poked the girl's nostrils with his finger.

Lin Wanning slapped the blanket away in annoyance. She said, "I was squatting on the ground, but my legs went numb. I only lay down for a little while, and Qingfan woke up in less than five minutes. I didn't get into bed!" She emphasized.

"Alright, alright, if you don't have one, you don't have one. But what about your birthday present? I won't be the first person you see when you wake up." Xu Qingfan gently rubbed the girl's head and asked softly.

"Hehe, so what if it's not? But the first person Qingfan sees when he wakes up is Wanning, so it's the same!" Lin Wanning raised his head again, rested his chin on his hands, and laughed.

Because the two were separated by a blanket, the morning reaction wasn't strong, so Xu Qingfan was happy to chat with her a little longer. "How can that be the same? Wan Ning, do you want any other birthday surprises? I'll make it up to you."

"Hmm," Lin Wanning pursed her lips, making a cute bubble-like sound. After thinking for a while, her eyes lit up: "I've got it! Brother Qingfan, can you come with me back to Sunshine Kindergarten after school this afternoon? I left something there!"

"It's been almost ten years since graduation. If you left something there, how could you still find it?"

"We'll definitely find it!" the girl nodded confidently.

"Then I'll go back with you. What did Wan Ning leave behind there?" Xu Qingfan asked, curious about the matter.

Lin Wanning narrowed his eyes, and the scene from his memory instantly surfaced in his mind.

Actually, there's nothing left at Sunshine Kindergarten. If there is anything, it's probably my own heart, which has long been captured by the boy in front of me.

She opened her eyes again and pointed to her heart, saying, "This is where it fell."

"Huh?" Xu Qingfan looked in the direction she was pointing and saw the school emblem of Licheng Middle School.

"You mean the Youth League badge? You left your Young Pioneers badge at the kindergarten?"

Lin Wanning blushed. How could this Qingfan brother say such a thing? They weren't Young Pioneers in kindergarten, so where would they get the Youth League badge!

Xu Qingfan suddenly changed his smile and said brightly, "It can't be that Wan Ning has fallen for him, can it?"

Lin Wanning stood there dumbfounded, his heart truly captivated by the scene!
next second.

"Ugh~ Brother Qingfan, you're so annoying!" After realizing she had been tricked, she angrily crawled into Xu Qingfan's bed, intending to teach this Brother Qingfan a lesson.

"Hey, hey~ don't do anything reckless."

Xu Qingfan tried to stop her, but it was too late. Lin Wanning had already lifted the blanket and crawled inside, angrily tickling his armpits: "Hmph~ Brother Qingfan, you're playing tricks on me! I'm going to tickle you!"

Xu Qingfan doesn't even wear underwear to bed, afraid of touching the girl's private parts, so he only dares to bend over and avoid her.

"Haha, okay. I was wrong, alright? I'll go home with Wan Ning after school this afternoon."

"I won't listen, I won't listen! Brother Qingfan is a bad brother, he needs to be taught a lesson!" Seeing that Xu Qingfan didn't resist, Lin Wanning felt even more amused and crawled into the quilt to tickle Brother Qingfan's armpits.

"Haha, stop fooling around. Xiaoxiao and the others are about to wake up. If Xiaoxiao sees us, then..." Xu Qingfan's voice abruptly stopped.

Seeing that Qingfan's laughter suddenly stopped, Lin Wanning peeked out from under the covers in confusion.

The first thing she noticed was the astonished look on Xu Qingfan's face. She turned around in the direction of Xu Qingfan's gaze and realized that the bedroom door had been opened at some point.

Xia Xiaoxiao stood with her arms crossed, staring blankly at the two people on the bed.

The words Lin Wanning wanted to say stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak for a moment.

Then she heard Xia Xiaoxiao speak in a cold tone: "I saw it, so what?"
