I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 312. Xiaoxiao, you like Brother Fan, right?
Wu Lingyu, who had just returned from hunting, soon arrived at the Lotus Courtyard. With Xiao Ruanwen's furtive rendezvous, the three of them successfully met up in Xu Qingfan's room.

"I love you, Xiaoyu!" Xiao Ruanwen kissed Wu Lingyu on the cheek and then eagerly picked up a steamed bun to eat.

"Waaah~ Xiaoyu." Xia Xiaoxiao then came up and hugged Wu Lingyu.

Wu Lingyu was still holding soy milk and steamed buns in her hand, so she could only stretch out her arms and let the girl hug her. She stood on tiptoe and pressed her face against Xia Xiaoxiao's, and said softly, "Okay, let's eat breakfast first."

"Mmm!" Xia Xiaoxiao was indeed hungry, so she picked up a fried dough stick and started eating.

"Um, we haven't brushed our teeth yet, have we?" Xiao Ruanwen only remembered this halfway through the meal.

"It's the same if you wash it again after you finish eating." Wu Lingyu smiled and handed her another meat bun.

“That makes sense!” Xiao Ruanwen nodded vigorously, took the bun, and continued to eat with her mouth full.

The three of them sat on the cold wooden floor without any regard for appearances, and the breakfast that Wu Lingyu brought was quickly devoured.

Xiao Ruanwen patted her round belly. If conditions allowed, she really wanted to take another nap right now.

"Are we going back to school or not?" She climbed back to her computer desk to check; it was already past 7:30.

The thought of seeing that scoundrel Xu Qingfan when she went to school suddenly made Xia Xiaoxiao feel averse to studying. "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."

Xiao Ruanwen's eyes lit up, because she had the same idea, but she was hesitant to skip class alone if no one was with her.

Seeing the two of them looking at her with pleading expressions, Wu Lingyu nodded helplessly, "Then let's ask for half a day off in the morning. I'll call Brother Fan and ask him to help us ask for leave."

Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard the first half of the sentence, but when she heard the second half and a certain person's name, she angrily turned her head to the side.

"Good ear." Xiao Ruanwen then remembered that she was at Fan Ge's house, and she swallowed the rest of the "yes" back.

Xia Xiaoxiao and Wu Lingyu also held their breath and waited for a long time. After confirming that they hadn't woken up their uncle and aunt, the two glared reproachfully at the girl who had made the strange noise.

Xiao Ruanwen waved her hand awkwardly, indicating that she would take the blame.

After a while.

After the three of them finished eating breakfast and cleaned the floor again, they lay down together on Xu Qingfan's bed to rest.

Wu Lingyu was sleeping next to Xia Xiaoxiao. After thinking it over, she couldn't help but poke the girl's arm and said in a low voice, "Brother Fan was probably just too anxious at the time. He didn't mean it that way."

Xia Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and, through her senses, grabbed the hand that was poking her. "Xiaoyu, let's not talk about him, okay? I don't want to mention him."

"Ah huh."

Wu Lingyu actually wanted to say that although Fan Ge was wrong for not being able to control his temper, Xiao Xiao shouldn't have thrown things and said those kinds of things. Xiao Xiao's mistake was bigger.

However, now is clearly not the right time to talk about these things; we can only stand up for Brother Fan later.

But Xiao Ruanwen obviously didn't care about any of that. She immediately spoke up for her, saying, "But Xiao Xiao, I'm not saying this to be mean, but you went a bit too far by throwing things and saying those things, even though Brother Fan was wrong to yell at you first."

Xia Xiaoxiao already felt she had done something wrong, but she just refused to admit it. Now that her best friend had said it out loud, she instantly felt guilty.

That's because he broke his promise first, then tried to argue and even acted aggressively. I was just too angry.
Xia Xiaoxiao shook her head, deciding to fight to the end.

"He was in the wrong first, he should have just apologized properly, but he had to make excuses and even threw a tantrum!" she said indignantly.

"What if Brother Fan is really wronged?" Xiao Ruanwen blinked and asked weakly.

“Yes, Brother Fan rarely lies,” Wu Lingyu added.

"When I pushed the door open, he and Lin Wanning were covered by the same blanket, and... In short, he was just making excuses!" She ultimately didn't tell the two of them about setting up the tent.

This is also Xia Xiaoxiao's fault for not being skilled enough. She only thought that a tent would be erect when she was exposed to stimulation, but in fact, it is normal for a healthy adult male to have morning erections every day.

Seeing that her best friend was unmoved by her words, Xiao Ruanwen had no choice but to give up on trying to persuade her and instead said, "Xiaoxiao, has your mother gone to work yet? I really want to sleep!"

Xia Xiaoxiao moved closer to Wu Lingyu to see how many points she had on her phone. When she saw that Wu Lingyu was chatting with Xu Qingfan, she immediately pouted unhappily.

However, she couldn't help but glance at the contents.

"It's good that you're home. I'll ask for leave for you guys later so you can get some rest for half a day."

Xia Xiaoxiao pouted and continued reading.

[What's there to explain? She's throwing things and saying all those nasty things. Who puts up with her?!]

Xia Xiaoxiao clenched her fists angrily. By the time Wu Lingyu noticed and tried to switch back to the desktop, it was too late, because Xu Qingfan's next message had already been successfully sent.

[Didn't she say she never wanted to see me again? Fine, move back home and don't see me then. I can't be bothered to deal with this unreasonable, spoiled brat who throws tantrums all the time, refuses to listen to explanations, and is completely self-centered!]

"Xiao Xiao?" Xiao Ruanwen looked at Xia Xiao Xiao in confusion when she saw that she hadn't replied for so long, only to find that the girl was already crying her eyes out.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you crying again? Let's not talk about him anymore, okay? Don't cry." Xiao Ruanwen hugged her tightly with heartache, while her mind was racing, trying to figure out what had happened in such a short time.

"Waaaaah..." Xia Xiaoxiao had never imagined that Xu Qingfan thought of her this way, and she could no longer suppress her sobs, turning into a honeycomb furnace. Wu Lingyu was also at a loss, holding her phone dumbly, not knowing whether to throw it away or reply to Xu Qingfan.

Xiao Ruanwen gave her a wink and mouthed a question to her.

Wu Lingyu scratched her head awkwardly, then thought for a moment and held up her phone to show her.

Xu Qingfan's evaluation of Xia Xiaoxiao appeared completely before Xiao Ruanwen's eyes, and the girl couldn't help but widen her eyes after reading it.

"How could Brother Fan do this? Xiao Xiao is nothing like what he said!"

The next second, Xiao Ruanwen snatched the phone and started angrily banging on it.

【Brother Fan, how could you do this? Xiaoxiao wasn't throwing a tantrum. She just misunderstood you. Just explain it to her, and it'll be fine. How could you say such hurtful things!】

Don't say hurtful things when you're emotional. I just said that to Xiaoxiao, and now you're doing it again, Fan-ge!

The screen kept showing "typing," but no new messages were being sent.

Xiao Ruanwen was too lazy to wait any longer and handed the phone back to Wu Lingyu.

The next instant, Xia Xiaoxiao stopped crying, Wu Lingyu was stunned, and time seemed to stand still.

Xiao Ruanwen suddenly hugged Xia Xiaoxiao's head and then pulled it into her arms, effectively becoming a face wash for a moment.

And sure enough, this trick really worked. Xia Xiaoxiao forgot to cry and forgot to think; all she wanted to do was feel the softness in front of her.

Xiao Ruanwen was secretly delighted, thinking to herself: all the hard work she had put in had paid off, and now it was showing its effects.

“What Brother Fan said was just said in anger, just like what you said when you were throwing things, Xiao Xiao. Don’t take it seriously.” She gently patted Xia Xiao Xiao’s back and said patiently.

Facial cleanser is good, but it can cause suffocation if left on for too long. After breaking free, Xia Xiaoxiao looked aggrieved and said indignantly, "I think that's what he really thinks. Since he doesn't like me that much, I'll move back today. It's not like I don't have a home!"

“Brother Fan was just saying that in anger, just like what you said this morning, Xiao Xiao, it was definitely just said in anger too.” Xiao Ruanwen wanted to use the face wash method, but Xia Xiao Xiao dodged it.

"Whether he said it in anger or not is none of my business. I never want to see him again in my life!" Xia Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears, got off Xu Qingfan's bed, and said resolutely, "I'm going home. I'll never set foot in this room again!"

Wu Lingyu and Xiao Ruanwen looked at each other, and seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao was really leaving, they had no choice but to pack their things and follow behind.

After sneaking away from Xu Qingfan's house and returning to Xia Xiaoxiao's house, the three of them were finally able to breathe loudly and speak loudly.

"Mom?" Xia Xiaoxiao shouted into the living room.

“Hey~” Xiao Ruanwen responded from beside her.

"You stinky Ruan Wen, you're going to die!"

"Haha~ I was just worried you'd be embarrassed since no one was replying, so stop scratching. Hehehe."

Seeing the girl's smile return, Wu Lingyu smiled faintly as well. After closing the door, she took their wet clothes to the washing machine on the balcony.

It didn't take long.

The three of them squeezed together in the small bathroom to brush their teeth. Hot water was being filled in the bathtub for Xiao Ruanwen and Xia Xiaoxiao to take a bath later.

"Xiaoyu, don't you want to come with me?" Seeing that Wu Lingyu was about to leave after brushing her teeth, Xiao Ruanwen grabbed her hand and invited her warmly.

"You guys go ahead and wash. I went out with an umbrella and didn't get wet," Wu Lingyu said with a smile.

The real reason was that Wu Lingyu was in a hurry to go out and reply to Fan Ge. If she hadn't been careless, Xiao Xiao wouldn't have seen that message. Wu Lingyu felt that she had an obligation to act as a bridge between the two and make their relationship as good as before.

"Okay~ Xiaoyu, you go back to your room and turn on the air conditioner. Xiaoxiao and I will be right there after we take a shower!" Xiaosewen didn't forget to pinch Wu Lingyu's butt before leaving.

"Okay." Wu Lingyu nodded and ran out of the bathroom, eager to inform Xu Qingfan.

After Xiaoyu left, Xiao Ruanwen turned her evil clutches on Xia Xiaoxiao, "Hehe~ Little beauty, hurry up and take off your clothes, this great master can't wait any longer!"

As a result, the practical Xia Xiaoxiao squatted down and took off her pants, revealing her adorable Hello Kitty.

"Hey~ You brat, you're asking for it!"

A few minutes later, the two of them were soaking in the steaming bathtub, their chests pressed against each other's backs.

Xia Xiaoxiao enjoyed the push-back massage from behind, while Xiao Ruanwen comfortably rested her chin on the girl's shoulder.

However, at that moment, a voice that seemed to possess magic echoed in Xia Xiaoxiao's ears.

"Xiaoxiao, you like Brother Fan, right?"
