I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 336. We can't have it all, can we?
After the kissing incident, the girls seemed uninterested in the following rounds of games, as if nothing could attract them anymore.

At 3 p.m., Zhang Chunxue had to go back to work, and the other girls, who were feeling rather listless, also ended their game early.

Lying on the soft bed in Wu Lingyu's guest room, Xu Qingfan found it difficult to fall asleep for a long time.

His mind was like a slideshow, replaying the scene of kissing Xiao Ruanwen over and over again.

The touch of Xiao Ruanwen's lips rippled in his heart, and the softness of her proud breasts rising and falling on his chest was a deadly poison to him, a pure and innocent 175cm tall boy.

Xu Qingfan suddenly realized that he quite liked Xiao Ruanwen, whether it was her personality, her appearance, or of course her figure.

If that were all, it wouldn't be enough to trouble him. What truly bothered Xu Qingfan was the horrifying discovery that, in addition to liking Xiao Ruanwen, he also liked Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, and Wu Lingyu.

Although he was reluctant to admit that he liked Xia Xiaoxiao, he probably did.

"What a birth!"

Xu Qingfan swore that he had never really thought about raising a child before. It was only as he turned fifteen and everyone grew up day by day that the secretion of puberty hormones made him have this idea.

Xu Qingfan discovered that his past life and this life were truly two extremes. In his past life, he hanged himself on Xia Xiaoxiao's crooked tree, while in this life, he was confused by having too many choices.

[We can't choose all five, this isn't an ancient imperial concubine selection!]
Xu Qingfan may be a bit of a dog, but he doesn't think he was born that way. He may have had such filthy thoughts, but he really doesn't dare to think about it or put it into action.

Xu Qingfan wasn't so narcissistic as to think that all five girls liked him and would marry no one but him, but based on their daily interactions, it was certain that Lin Wanning liked him, and there was no doubt that the other four girls had a slight liking for him.

Aside from Xia Xiaoxiao's strange uncertainty, he felt that as long as he was willing to wholeheartedly pursue one of the girls, dating, establishing a relationship, or even getting married wouldn't be difficult.

After all, they've known each other for so many years, and they even lived together for three years during junior high school. If they really establish a relationship, they can get married after graduating from university, fulfilling his biggest regret from his past life.

But then again, Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, Xiao Ruanwen and Wu Lingyu are all so good, so who should I choose?
For once, besides answering questions on Zhihu, Xu Qingfan actually had a choice, but he didn't know how to choose.

Zhang Chunxue's words from some time ago resurfaced in his mind: "Don't you think that now the lives of all five girls revolve around you?"

[Wouldn't it be possible that if we were separated for a while, they wouldn't rely on me as much, their youthful infatuation would fade, and maybe they'd even meet someone they liked? Then I could choose someone who would love me unconditionally.]
Xu Qingfan felt this was a good idea. How reliable could the initial infatuation of adolescence be? After three to five years, it would all be gone with the wind.

It's not that I want to sever ties with the five girls for three to five years; that's impossible.

Xu Qingfan felt that perhaps in high school, everyone wouldn't have to be in the same class, and they could live in their own dormitories.

With this physical separation, perhaps after a period of time, everything will naturally become clear.

Having made up his mind, Xu Qingfan slowly closed his eyes.

Half past four in the afternoon.

Xu Qingfan had been taking a nap for an hour and a half when he was pulled out of bed by five girls.

"Brother Fan, wake up!"

"Brother Qingfan, get up, get up!"

"Lazy pig brother, wake up!"

The five of them didn't seem to have any unpleasantness about the one-minute kiss. Some grabbed his hand, some pulled his feet, and they worked together to wake him up.

"Ha~ The alarm hasn't gone off yet, what time is it?" Xu Qingfan had been asleep for less than an hour and was still very sleepy. He turned over and buried his face in the pillow.

"It's been ringing for a while now!"

"It's 4:38, Brother Qingfan!"

"Brother Fan, get up quickly!"

After another struggle, with his blanket and pillow snatched away, he finally got out of bed with no choice.

"Get up, get up, stop shaking me, you're shaking my brains to shreds." Xu Qingfan helplessly raised his hands in surrender.

"Hehe~ Yay!"

The five cheered as if they had won a battle, and after putting the blankets and pillows back in their original places, they left his room one after the other.

Xu Qingfan watched their retreating figures and gave a self-deprecating smile: [Trying to have it all? Who could stand being tortured like this every day!]
When he came out of the restroom, five girls were already waiting for him at the door, having applied sunscreen. "Coming, coming."

Xu Qingfan waved and jogged over. As he squatted down to put on his shoes, several pairs of icy hands roamed over his face, neck, and arms. It was five people helping him apply sunscreen to save time.

"Brother Qingfan's Adam's apple is getting bigger and bigger!"

"Really? Let me touch it!"

"Hehe~ This is fun!"

"Cough cough!" Xu Qingfan coughed sternly, shooing away the five girls who were trying to touch him. "I don't need that. I'm naturally fair-skinned."

None of the five spoke, but instead pretended to be angry as they looked at him.

"Okay, okay, I need it, I need it, thank you five fairy sisters!" Xu Qingfan had no choice but to raise his hands and beg for mercy.

"Hee hee hee!"

"That's pretty much it!"

The six of them left the house laughing and joking; it was 4:50 p.m.

The sunset time in the port city in October is 5:40 pm, and to see the most beautiful sunset, you need to wait until after 6:30 pm.

It only takes about ten minutes to walk from Wu Lingyu's home in the Dihao residential area to the Canton Tower, which means they have plenty of time to stroll around.

Despite it being the last day of the National Day holiday, the area around Liede Bridge was still packed with people, with long queues stretching dozens of meters long forming at the congested subway entrance.

"Why are there still so many people!" Xiao Ruanwen helplessly put away her parasol, because constantly stretching out her arm to avoid other people's umbrellas was not a good idea.

"Well, it's free to see the Canton Tower here," Xu Qingfan shrugged helplessly. "Let's take a boat ride to kill some time, and then go ride the Ferris wheel at the Canton Tower around six o'clock."

He pointed to the dock not far away and spoke to the five girls.

"Ok!"

When they were out and about, the group naturally listened to him in everything.

Although taking a cruise on the Pearl River at this time of year is not a good option, it seems to be the only way to escape the crowds right now.

Ten years ago, the tickets for a cruise on the Pearl River weren't too expensive. Xu Qingfan chose the most expensive itinerary, and the six tickets only cost a little over two hundred yuan.

After collecting your tickets and boarding the ship, a cool river breeze gently blows, giving you the feeling of a refreshing breeze while cruising on the river.

What's funny is that the real old-timers of the port city almost never spend money to go up the Canton Tower or take a night cruise on the Pearl River.

After all, the price is outrageously high.

Two hundred yuan in 2010 was enough for a family of five to have a good meal at a remote farmhouse restaurant; there was really no need to waste money on a knife handle.

We cruised the Pearl River in the afternoon. The scenery was so-so, but the advantage was that we were undisturbed. The six of us sat around the table, leisurely drinking milk tea and eating sunflower seeds. It was a rare moment of leisure.

The boat returned to the dock on time at 6:10. The six people took a group photo and then left with their belongings.

The sun has begun to set, perhaps because the martyrs are still reminiscing about the glorious times on earth. The evening glow reddens half the sky, and the autumn waters blend seamlessly with the sky.

For some reason, Xu Qingfan thought of an ancient poem: "The setting sun reddens half the sky, and the stars fill the night sky."

Perhaps because it was lunchtime, the number of tourists strolling around the Liede Bridge had decreased by more than half. After all, tomorrow would be another day of endless overtime work, and in that melancholy mood, every view seemed to be filtered through a gloomy lens.

However, this obviously does not include the six of them. For them, going to school or going on vacation is just a change of place to live their lives.

"Let's go ride the Ferris wheel!"

Lin Wanning excitedly ran ahead, just like countless other ordinary people.

"Run slowly!"
