I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 333. Aunt Zhang Reaps the Rewards of Her Own Mistakes
Lunch was very lavish, consisting of ten dishes and a soup.

The fully marinated braised beef shank and foie gras, the rare and exquisite soft-shell crab, and the salvia miltiorrhiza and black chicken soup simmered for two hours all demonstrate the host's dedication.

Firstly, this was the first time the five of them had visited Wu Lingyu's home, and secondly, it was Zhang Yiyi's birthday today.

The food tasted excellent, comparable to Chef Xu's cooking skills. In less than half an hour, many plates were empty.

Xu Qingfan downed the apple cider vinegar in his glass, then picked up the half-empty bottle of Tiandi No. 1 and filled it for himself and those around him. He raised his glass to everyone and said, "Happy 11th birthday to us! May we grow more and more beautiful and happy every day. Cheers!"

Happy birthday, Yi Yi!

"Academic progress."

"May all your wishes come true."

As everyone exchanged joyful greetings, they raised their glasses one after another.

"cheers!"

The sound of glass clattering and laughter filled the living room. Zhang Yiyi's lips curved into a beautiful crescent moon, her hand under the table tightly clasped Lin Wanning's.

Zhang Yiyi's birthday wish was to ride a Ferris wheel, but what she really wanted was to hold Xu Qingfan's hand tightly with her other hand.

The three of them walk hand in hand, from now into the future.

"thank you all!"

Buying groceries and cooking is an enjoyable activity, but washing dishes and cleaning are obviously not.

Wu Lingyu's family didn't buy a dishwasher. After repeatedly persuading and "chasing away" Wu Lingyu's parents, the six of them began to skillfully and tacitly divide the work.

Many hands make light work. What would normally take one person more than an hour to clean, they finished in less than half an hour.

Xu Qingfan wiped up the water droplets on the floor, and the kitchen looked brand new again.

After queuing to wash her hands, Xiao Ruanwen couldn't wait to say, "Let's continue the King's Game!"

[Fan Ge and Xiao Xiao kiss face-to-face, and then Wan Ning and Yi Yi's jealous but helpless expressions will definitely be very interesting!]
"Alright~ Let's continue the King's Game!" Lin Wanning was secretly delighted. She and Zhang Yiyi had just come up with a lot of clever ideas, and they were just waiting to put them into practice after dinner. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruanwen was even more impatient than her.

[I want Qingfan to carry me in a princess carry, hehehe.]
Although Xia Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yiyi didn't say anything, they were both smiling with their own ulterior motives.

Wu Lingyu, the only outsider, tilted her head and asked, "Aren't we going to take a nap at noon? We're going to ride the Ferris wheel at the Canton Tower this afternoon."

"Oh, it's okay, a half-hour nap is fine."

"That's right! Let's play until 3:30, take a half-hour break, and then head out to ride the Ferris wheel. The timing will be perfect!"

The four of them pushed Wu Lingyu out of the kitchen. As for Xu Qingfan, he had no choice but to play, whether he wanted to or not!

Sitting in the living room, Zhang Chunxue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard them come out. Although it wasn't obvious on her face, she still felt quite uncomfortable around Wu Lingyu's parents.

On the one hand, because the other party was the parents of her daughter's classmate, Zhang Chunxue wanted to treat them as equals.

On the other hand, Li Meijuan and Wu Suowei always tried to please her cautiously. Zhang Chunxue naturally dealt with these kinds of people a lot, but she couldn't treat them like subordinates, so she was very troubled.

"Hehe~ Finished cleaning!"

"Auntie, we want to continue playing King's Game. Do you want to play with us?"

"Let's play together, Mom!"

If she hadn't been without an excuse, Zhang Chunxue would have left long ago. At this moment, she would have readily agreed: "Okay, I've never heard of this game before."

After nodding to Wu Lingyu's parents, she got up and followed the six people into the house.

A wool blanket with a radius of one meter was laid on the wooden floor of the room. Even with Zhang Chunxue's presence, the seven people sitting together did not feel crowded.

"Does Auntie need me to explain the rules to you again?" Xiao Ruanwen asked as she cut the deck after placing a seven into the pile.

"No need. The person who draws the ace can randomly order two people to do anything. Auntie, am I right?" Zhang Chunxue leaned lazily against the edge of the bed and said with a smile.

"Yes, that's right!" After confirming that there were no problems, Xiao Ruanwen distributed the shuffled cards to everyone one by one.

When no one was looking, four pairs of eyes locked in a cunning stare.

Whether the Xiao-Xia alliance is the better strategist or the Zhang-Lin combination will prevail, the outcome is about to be revealed.

"Wow~ I'm the one who drew the King!"

Perhaps it was the newbie protection period, but Zhang Chunxue drew the King on her first try, and she covered her mouth in surprise.

Xu Qingfan sat next to his aunt. He leaned over to take a look and, sure enough, it was a King.

“Then Auntie, you can give the order now. Auntie is the queen now.” Xu Qingfan smiled and laid out her cards.

"Auntie, you're so lucky! I played all morning and didn't get to be the king once," Xiao Ruanwen said enviously after putting her cards away.

Xiao Ruanwen now wants to draw the King card and then order Xiao Xiao and Fan Ge to kiss. Just thinking about that scene makes her tremble with excitement and her heart pound.

"Can I give any order?" Zhang Chunxue was playing this for the first time and was a little unsure of the appropriate level of control, so she asked again to confirm.

"Anything is fine."

"Correct!"

Zhang Chunxue looked around at everyone present, and finally her gaze fell on Xu Qingfan.

She rested her chin on her hand, thinking about what command to give, and couldn't help but smile like an aunt as she imagined the scene that would unfold.

Everyone waited for the aunt to speak, and the room fell silent for a moment.

The next second, Zhang Chunxue suddenly spoke up: "I've got it! I order number 2 and number 7, number 2 lie down under number 7, and then number 7 does fifty push-ups!"

"Hiss~" Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Starting with such high stakes, a normal person would be exhausted after doing thirty push-ups in a row, and fifty would definitely require lying down to rest, unless Xu Qingfan was the one who drew number 7.

Yes, Xu Qingfan was blinking his eyes frantically because he had drawn number 2.

If there were no adults present, this level of interaction would be fine for the six of them, but the problem is that Zhang Chunxue is there!
Just imagining the scene of a certain girl resting on him makes Xu Qingfan sweat: "Auntie, why don't you find someone else?"

Zhang Chunxue frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Didn't you say you could give any order? I saw Wan Ning and Yi Yi sitting on your lap earlier."

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi, whose names were called, blushed and lowered their heads shyly, but they were actually eager to try.

It doesn't matter if I draw someone else, but what if I draw Xu Qingfan?!
"I'm number two." Xu Qingfan scratched the back of his head and awkwardly flipped over his card.

"Hahaha~ So number two is Xiao Fan, not fifty. Wait, that's not right, haha, Xiao Fan is the one lying on the ground!" Zhang Chunxue's eyes lit up, everything was just as she expected!
She had seen this vulgar interactive game at someone else's company's annual meeting. At the time, Zhang Chunxue only felt disgusted and repulsed, but now that the game was being played by Xu Qingfan and five girls, she didn't feel that way anymore.

[Which girl is doing push-ups on top of Xiao Fan? Hehehe]
The moment Xu Qingfan revealed his hand, the eyes of the five girls lit up instantly, but dimmed even faster.

"Hehe, it has nothing to do with me, I'm number five." Xiao Ruanwen smiled and revealed her card.

"It wasn't me." Xia Xiaoxiao turned over her cards in frustration, revealing a card that read "Little Scoundrel."

"I am number 1," Lin Wanning said with a similar expression.

"I am number 4." Then it was Zhang Yiyi's turn.

Seeing that number seven was neither Lin Wanning nor Zhang Yiyi, Xia Xiaoxiao felt much better instantly: "Xiaoyu, you're number seven! I finally got to draw you once."

"Yeah, hahaha, Xiaoyu's been completely immune all morning!"

"Go, Xiaoyu!"

Zhang Chunxue smiled as she rested her chin on her hands, but for some reason, the girl's face did not show the expected shyness; instead, it was completely indifferent.

[That's impossible! Doesn't Xiaoyu like Xiaofan?]
Just as Zhang Chunxue was racking her brains, Wu Lingyu shook her head and said regretfully, "It's not me, I'm number 6." "Uh..."

The atmosphere suddenly became strange. No one spoke, but slowly turned their heads toward Zhang Chunxue.

Zhang Chunxue also slowly raised her finger and pointed to herself, saying uncertainly, "Number seven...is that me?"

Everyone nodded in unison, which clearly indicated that was the case.

"No way." Zhang Chunxue flipped over the last card in disbelief. Yes, it was a seven.

"Uh... hahaha." Because the result was too bizarre, she could only use laughter to ease the embarrassment.

[Everything is going as planned. What a load of rubbish!!!]
"Haha. How about we treat this round as an experiment and start the real thing in the next round?" Xu Qingfan never dreamed that the one doing the push-ups would be his aunt. He was already sweating profusely.

[That auntie's headlights were pressing down on me, how could I possibly accept that?]
"Hehe~ I forgot to tell you, Auntie, that even the king can be commanded by himself. How about we don't start over?" Xiao Ruanwen grinned.

"Yeah, fifty push-ups are too many, this round doesn't count."

"Next game!"

"It's okay, Auntie, let's continue with the next round."

Zhang Chunxue originally wanted to renege on her promise and say it didn't count, but the more people said it, the more hesitant she became.

[Won't they think I'm a sore loser or don't keep my word, and that will create a rift between us?]
“Okay,” Xu Qingfan said, clasping his hands together. Just as he was about to declare the round invalid, Zhang Chunxue suddenly stopped him.

"no!"

"How can it not count? The order was given by Auntie, so of course we have to do it. How can you cheat on a game!"

After saying that, Zhang Chunxue showed off her biceps, as if to prove that she was very strong.

"Hehe~ Go, Mom!" Zhang Yiyi clapped and cheered happily.

"Go, Auntie!" Seeing this, the others could only join in with smiles.

Besides Xu Qingfan, "No, you're really coming?"

"Lie down right now!" Zhang Chunxue looked up and glared at him, pretending to be angry.

"Brother Fan, hurry up!"

"Brother Qingfan, lie down quickly!"

"Lie down properly!"

Amidst the jeers and cheers of the five girls, Xu Qingfan gave up and lay sprawled out on the ground.

Soon, Zhang Chunxue bent down and stood in front of him, biting a rubber band in her teeth to tie up her messy black hair, and then she slowly squatted down.

Because it was during working hours, Zhang Chunxue was wearing a white shirt and a pencil skirt as usual, with flesh-colored stockings clinging to her skin, adding a touch of charm and sexiness to her already elegant outfit.

From Xu Qingfan's perspective, the curves outlined by the aunt as she squatted down could only be described as breathtaking; it was impossible to look away.

Xu Qingfan is panicking right now. Yes, he is panicking, extremely panicked.

Because he didn't make any tactical adjustments after using the toilet the last time, if he has a reaction later...
However, his panic was useless, because his aunt's movements were beyond his control.

"Hmm~" Zhang Chunxue quickly finished supporting herself with both hands on the ground and pinned him against the wall.

Xu Qingfan's eyes met her aunt's eyes, but she quickly looked away, like a naive young girl turning her head to the side.

Zhang Chunxue suddenly felt that teasing Xiao Fan like this was quite fun, and her maternal smile deepened.

"I'm starting now, everyone help me count."

"it is good!"

Zhang Chunxue did the first push-up without any difficulty because the person beneath her was Xu Qingfan. She didn't mind having physical contact with Xiao Fan, and after bending her arms at a full 90 degrees to do the push-up, she straightened them again to do the second one.

"one!"

"two!"

The intoxicating scent of perfume wafted into his nose with each rise and fall, and the soft touch against his chest gave Xu Qingfan an unexpected and mischievous idea.

"twenty!"

"twenty."

By the time she reached her twentieth push-up, Zhang Chunxue was starting to feel exhausted. Her hands trembled uncontrollably, and her aching arms prevented her from continuing.

Zhang Chunxue braced herself on the ground with both hands, pressing down on Xu Qingfan. After resting for a moment, she continued.

"twenty one!"

"Twenty-nine!"

"thirty!"

After completing thirty reps, Zhang Chunxue was panting heavily, her round chest heaving violently.

If she had another chance, she would never order fifty push-ups again; it's like shooting herself in the foot!
[Twenty more to go. I'm so tired.]
Supporting yourself with your hands is no longer enough to relieve hand fatigue; on the contrary, it makes your brain feel dizzy because of insufficient blood supply.

After struggling for more than a minute, she finally had no choice but to lie helplessly on top of Xu Qingfan.

I've watched Xiao Fan grow up since he was a child.
Despite trying to reassure myself, the burning sensation in my lower abdomen couldn't lie; this brat had really grown up.

Taking advantage of his aunt's tactical obstruction, Xu Qingfan reached into his pocket to adjust his strategy.

"Hmm~"

He knew his aunt knew everything, but at this moment he could only close his eyes and pretend to be dead.

[It's not my fault, auntie is just so charming!]
"forty nine!"

"Fifty!"

Soon, Zhang Chunxue, having rested well, finished the last twenty push-ups.

Although her heart was pounding at that moment, the aunt, who was used to big events, never showed her emotions.

Zhang Chunxue pretended nothing was wrong and rubbed her arm: "I should have just said I'd do ten. It's been too long since I exercised."

"Auntie is awesome!"

"Mom is awesome!"

After Xu Qingfan got up again, he kept glancing at Zhang Chunxue, and when he found that she really didn't seem to be acting strangely, he became even more puzzled.

[Didn't Auntie notice? Probably not, thank goodness.]
"Auntie, is there something on your face? Why are you staring at me?" Zhang Chunxue looked at him reproachfully.

"Haha." Xu Qingfan lowered his head instantly.

"Let your brother massage Mom!" Zhang Yiyi said with heartache when she saw her mother rubbing her arms.

The panic on Zhang Chunxue's face flashed by quickly, and after regaining her composure, she said, "Okay, if we draw the King again next time, let Xiao Fan give us a massage."

"Let Brother Fan give me a massage!"

"Correct!"
