I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 322. Are you squatting here to poop?

After Zhang Chunxue disappeared from sight, Xu Qingfan looked away and lay back on the swing, lost in thought.

Don't you think that these days, several girls' lives revolve entirely around you?
His aunt's last words echoed in his mind.

To be honest, did Xu Qingfan really not realize this himself?

This is naturally impossible.

Regardless of what others say, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Lin Wanning has her heart set on him. How could someone as smart as Xu Qingfan not see it?

He had simply been deliberately ignoring these things, or rather, intentionally avoiding thinking about them.

When they were little, it was because the five girls were still young and needed his care as they grew up.

But before they knew it, all five of them were in their final year of junior high school, no longer the little girls who needed to be cared for as they grew up.

If Xu Qingfan continues to deceive himself by saying that the girls need his care, then he will be too hypocritical. After all, if he continues to take care of them like this, the girls might end up in bed with him one day.

As you can see, Lin Wanning is already showing signs of this.

But if you ask Xu Qingfan to just leave like this, not only would he be unwilling, but even the five girls wouldn't agree.

Having grown up together since childhood, the six of us have formed an incredibly strong bond. We would all feel uncomfortable without each other in our lives.

Despite their fierce argument this morning, they can make up again in no time if either of them is willing to back down first.

[But don't expect me to apologize this time. I won't tolerate you, Xia Xiaoxiao, anymore!]
Xu Qingfan quickly put Xia Xiaoxiao's matter out of his mind and continued to worry about the problem that Aunt Zhang had just mentioned.

The best way to change the current social circles of these girls is undoubtedly to go to a new environment and make new friends.

Furthermore, Xu Qingfan should gradually fade out of the focus of the five girls' lives, since all six of them will eventually get married and cannot live together like this for the rest of their lives.

If they continue living together, the girls will only become more and more dependent on him, to the point that they can't live without him.

As someone with an adult mindset, Xu Qingfan could easily come up with these questions.

But the more he thought about it, the less he wanted to think about it.

Deep down, Xu Qingfan didn't want the five girls to make friends with other men. If they were to date or fall in love with that person in the future, it would be worse than killing him.

Xu Qingfan was unwilling to admit that he had a possessive desire for the five girls. He only wanted to believe that he was adopting the mindset of an old father. The thought of his good cabbage being eaten by a pig in the future made him quite unhappy.

Xu Qingfan still wanted to be selfish and continue maintaining the relationship that was gradually becoming unhealthy.

He told himself: "The high school entrance exam is coming up soon, it's not a good time to change my social circle now, I'll think about it after high school."
The boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge; a simple delaying tactic can solve everything.

Ultimately, Xu Qingfan still enjoys their current cohabitation life. After all, who can have five childhood sweethearts with different personalities but all incredibly beautiful growing up with them at the same time?

Just then, Xia Xiaoxiao came out of the house, carrying a garbage bag, seemingly on her way to take out the trash.

The five girls' footsteps were all different. Having lived with them for a long time, Xu Qingfan could distinguish these subtle differences, so he could guess the identities of the girls without even looking at them.

He stopped his wild thoughts, glanced sideways at the person's thigh, and looked up a meter or so, confirming that it was indeed Xia Xiaoxiao.

Although Zhang Chunxue said Xia Xiaoxiao was right, Xu Qingfan did not intend to forgive her. This time, he was determined to teach Xia Xiaoxiao a lesson for her arrogant nature!

He kept his head down and remained silent the entire time, pretending not to see the other person come out.

When Xia Xiaoxiao saw Xu Qingfan sitting in the courtyard, she paused in her steps and her heart clenched.

But when she realized that the other party seemed to be treating her like air, Xia Xiaoxiao clenched her fists in anger, and felt an emptiness in her heart for some reason.

Xia Xiaoxiao pouted, looking aggrieved. She quickened her pace, her movements and expression behaving exactly like an angry elementary school student.

After walking quite a distance, my previously blank mind finally started working again.

"You think you're so great? If you ignore me, I won't ignore you either!"

Even when Xia Xiaoxiao is angry, she is still absolutely stunning. If a picture of her like this were taken and uploaded to the internet, the comments section would be filled with "Ms. Xia is right!"

She raised her leg to kick away a pebble that was in her way, but the pebble didn't budge. Instead, she ended up standing on one leg and screamed in pain.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Looking at her bruised toes, Xia Xiaoxiao felt an urge to cry.

"They're all bullying me, boohoo." She held back her tears, not wanting them to spill from her eyes, and didn't kick the pebble she had just kicked off the wrong way. She limped over to the garbage dump.

Hearing Xia Xiaoxiao's shouts, Xu Qingfan thought she was in danger and immediately got up to check. But when he found that the girl was all alone beside him, he realized that she was alone.

Seeing her pause for a few seconds and then suddenly limp, Xu Qingfan instantly filled in the whole picture. Speechless, he curled his lip and thought Xia Xiaoxiao was really funny.

"Are you crazy?" He shook his head and sat back down.

Xia Xiaoxiao naturally didn't notice Xu Qingfan's secret concern for her, and it was fortunate that she didn't. Otherwise, after seeing his disdainful and contemptuous expression later on, the girl would probably have been even angrier.

After arriving at the garbage recycling station, Xia Xiaoxiao quietly glanced back.

After confirming that Xu Qingfan hadn't followed, she put the two bags of trash on the ground and squatted down herself.

"No... How could there be no?" Xia Xiaoxiao stirred the two bags of trash with a twig she had picked up, muttering something to herself.

What she was looking for was, of course, the keychain that had been broken that morning.

Aside from feeling wronged and cursing Xu Qingfan for bullying her, calling him a stinky dog, a bad dog, and a lapdog, Xia Xiaoxiao spent the entire morning in regret.

What she regretted, besides the angry words she uttered in a fit of rage, was the keychain.

The keychain that had been with her for almost two years was a gift from her dog; no other girl had one like it, but she broke it herself.

"How could it not be there?" Xia Xiaoxiao felt extremely frustrated because she couldn't find what she was looking for.

The girl subconsciously assumed that no one but her would cherish the broken keychain, which cost only a few cents wholesale and was already smashed, so the trash can was naturally its best destination.

The keychain wasn't in the trash can, so it must have been swept into the garbage this morning. This is all punishment for her not taking care of the keychain.

Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and clinging to her last hope, she got up and opened the trash can, only to find it empty. Her last glimmer of hope vanished. Dejected, she picked up two bags of trash and threw them in, then turned and walked home, her expression crestfallen.

It's all my fault.
My already empty chest felt even emptier now.

Feeling so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe, Xia Xiaoxiao stopped and took several deep breaths before she felt much better.

[Xu Qingfan is right, Xia Xiaoxiao, you're such a giant baby! Why do you keep throwing things like that!]
The tears that had been building up for so long finally fell. Xia Xiaoxiao hid behind a tree trunk and cried secretly. She kept wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but the tears flowed like a flood that had been released.

next moment.

She squatted down on the ground, hugging her knees and crying like a pitiful, helpless puppy.

"Waaah! Xia Xiaoxiao, you're such a jerk! Why did you have to say the opposite and throw things away?!"

"Xia Xiaoxiao, you're a giant baby. You're a giant baby, you're a giant baby."

She sobbed, and with each word she spoke, her shoulders trembled violently.

The keychain that she had discarded in the morning had now become the last straw that broke the girl's back.

Xia Xiaoxiao clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh, as if she were taking revenge for the "dead" keychain, or perhaps the more physical pain she felt, the less pain she felt in her heart.

Xia Xiaoxiao has deeply realized her mistake. Although Xu Qingfan is a bit foul-mouthed, what he said about her is absolutely correct.

Just as Ruan Wen analyzed for her, Xia Xiaoxiao was no one to Xu Qingfan, so she really had no right to interfere with who he slept with.

Xu Qingfan had previously been tolerant of her, protected her feelings and self-esteem, and tolerated her constant advances, but she took all of this for granted, forcing Xu Qingfan to promise not to let Lin Wanning into bed, and making demands of Xu Qingfan.

Until this time, when she misunderstood him and didn't believe him, and even though she knew it was Wan Ning's birthday, she still threw a tantrum, Xu Qingfan finally lost his temper and gave her a good scolding.

Xia Xiaoxin couldn't accept the contrast between Xu Qingfan's behavior before and after, and she couldn't control her emotions either.

She was wrong to begin with, and then throwing things and saying hurtful things was even worse. Finally, running away from home despite everyone's worries was the worst mistake she ever made!
"I'm such an idiot, sob sob. I'm so sorry."

Xia Xiaoxiao made up her mind that as long as she found a suitable opportunity later, she would apologize to Xu Qingfan, apologize severely, and admit her mistake!

[If Xu Qingfan is still not satisfied, and still hasn't forgiven me, then I'll wear the same clothes again!]
Thinking of this, her crying suddenly subsided, and her clenched fists loosened again.

[Ruan Wen is right. If I just obediently apologize to that stinky dog, he'll definitely be flattered and then apologize to me nicely, even though we've known each other the longest.]
Although Xu Qingfan's words on QQ were harsh and foul, Xia Xiaoxiao seemed less angry after accepting that she had no right to control who Xu Qingfan slept with.

[That stinky dog ​​has the right to sleep in bed with Wan Ning, and even if he sleeps in bed with Xiao Yu and Ruan Wenyi, I don't think I have the right to tell him what to do since I'm not his girlfriend.]
Thinking about it this way, it seems that apart from being wrong to scold me in the morning, the bad dog didn't seem to have done anything wrong at all.

[On the contrary, I was the one being unreasonable, self-centered, throwing things, and saying hurtful things.]
The more Xia Xiaoxiao thought about it, the redder her face became. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether her face was red from crying or from embarrassment.

After Xia Xiaoxiao left, Xu Qingfan sat in the courtyard, lost in thought.

Almost ten minutes have passed, and that woman who fell down still hasn't returned.

Normally, taking out the trash takes less than five minutes round trip. Xu Qingfan took out his phone to check the time again and found that another five minutes had passed. He could no longer contain his worry and prepared to get up and look for it.

"That Xia Xiaoxiao is so annoying!" Despite being very worried about the girl, he still said some sarcastic things.

Having walked halfway without seeing Xia Xiaoxiao, Xu Qingfan grew increasingly anxious, and his pace changed from a brisk walk to a jog.

Although the possibility is extremely low, if Xia Xiaoxiao really did something foolish because she was angry with him, Xu Qingfan would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

[Damn it, this is so annoying. I hope they don't do anything rash and jump into the Zengjiang River.]
The scene of the girl's violent death in the Free Country in her previous life flashed into his mind, and Xu Qingfan's heart began to beat wildly, and he unconsciously changed from jogging to running.

He ran all the way to the garbage station but still couldn't find Xia Xiaoxiao, which made him even more panicked.

Xu Qingfan impatiently opened the trash can. The two bags of trash that Xia Xiaoxiao had just brought out were still there. He breathed a slight sigh of relief and then left without stopping.

[It was true in my past life, and it's true in this one too; can't you just give me a break!]
Xu Qingfan strode forward, looking left and right, searching for Xia Xiaoxiao's whereabouts.

"Cough cough."

Xia Xiaoxiao swallowed hard; by this time, she had stopped crying.

She spread out her hands, revealing four bright red fingernail marks on each side, with traces of blood already visible.

Xia Xiaoxiao felt that these were punishments for her impulsive behavior that morning. She wanted to remember these scars forever so that the first thing she would think of when she acted impulsively again was the keychain she had smashed.

At the same time, she also decided that she would sneak into Xu Qingfan's bedroom to apologize during her lunch break.

[I'd rather crawl into bed at night, and so can I, Xia Xiaoxiao!]
Xia Xiaoxiao had clearly taken to heart what Xiao Ruanwen had said to her that morning.

At the same time, when she recalled Ruan Wen saying that she would always be a member of the Little Party, a smile briefly appeared on her face, a fleeting glimpse of beauty, like a peach blossom in full bloom.

[Hmph~ I'm going to crawl into bed with you from now on too]
Xia Xiaoxiao was about to get up and go back.

however.

"After you take out the trash, why don't you go back inside and squat here to poop?"

The next second, Xu Qingfan's loud shout suddenly rang out from behind.

"puff!"

Xia Xiaoxiao squatted in mid-air like she was in military training, and a long snot streamed out uncontrollably, hanging swaying on her face.

Twenty minutes had passed since he came out to look for Xia Xiaoxiao. It took him a long time to find the girl in this secluded grove. You can imagine how Xu Qingfan felt at this moment.

Just as he angrily walked over, ready to spank Xia Xiaoxiao's bottom.

Xia Xiaoxiao's frozen position in mid-air lasted for less than five seconds, and the long snot was already sticking to her lips.

Without a moment's hesitation, Xia Xiaoxiao took off running.

"Depend on!"

Watching the girl flee in panic, Xu Qingfan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
