I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 338. Asian Games Torchbearer

late at night.

The secret base was completely silent. Except for Xiaobai, who was still diligently standing guard, everyone else had fallen asleep.

A gust of wind blew by, and the clouds obscured the moon, making the night even darker.

At 2:15 a.m., a figure as black as ink silently left the room.

The figure had a very clear objective; after opening the door, it went straight to the next room without stopping.

Quietly, very quietly, she climbed onto the boy's bed and lay down.

She slowly moved her body, and when she felt the warm breath coming from her nose against her lips, she pressed it against them without hesitation.

[1, 2, 360, 61.]
She silently counted to sixty-one before finally removing her lips, completely satisfied.

[After the cover is removed, my first kiss is mine!]
Half an hour later, the door was opened again.

[I want a kiss too!]
after an hour.

[I finally gave away my first kiss!]
The morning glow does not go out, but the sunset travels thousands of miles.

At six o'clock in the morning, Xu Qingfan got up and drew back the curtains in his room.

The sky was a clear blue with not a cloud in sight; it seemed like this week would be all good weather.

He pushed open the French windows and walked to the small balcony outside. He took a deep breath of the fragrance of plants, and his joints cracked as he stretched. The chirping of sparrows echoed in his ears.

"Good morning, Brother Qingfan!" Lin Wanning pushed open the door and came in, holding Xu Qingfan's toothbrush and mouthwash cup in his hand.

"Wanning. Good morning?" He turned around and saw Lin Wanning holding his toothbrush with toothpaste already squeezed on it. He tilted his head in confusion.

"Hehe~ Brother Qingfan, let's brush our teeth together!" Lin Wanning handed him a toothbrush and a cup full of water with a smile. When she stole a glance at his rosy lips, the girl shyly turned her head away.

"You want to brush your teeth in a row? I can't believe you came up with that." Xu Qingfan chuckled and ruffled her hair, but didn't refuse.

Lin Wanning happily stood beside him, leaning on the balcony railing and gazing at the boundless horizon.

At their feet was Xiaobai, who was dozing off. The two of them secretly picked up the dead branches that had fallen on the small balcony and hit it. When the dog got up to check, they immediately pulled their heads back in. Although the two of them were already in the third year of junior high school, when they got together, they were as childish as elementary school students.

"Here you go, Brother Qingfan." After rinsing her mouth, Lin Wanning handed him the half-empty water glass.

"Hmm." Xu Qingfan smiled faintly.

On a bright and sunny morning, the two of them brushed their teeth together using a shared mouthwash cup; life was so pleasant.

"Why aren't you up yet? Huh~ what are you doing here?" Xia Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and saw Xu Qingfan and Lin Wanning standing side by side on the balcony, and asked in confusion.

The two of them simultaneously picked up their toothbrushes and answered in unison, "Brush your teeth!"

"Speechless," Xia Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said irritably, "Hurry up, or we'll have to walk to breakfast again."

“I’ll be right soon!”

Xu Qingfan and Lin Wanning finished speaking at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled.

Xia Xiaoxiao pouted and turned to leave the room.

If she were jealous of this and that, she would have become the Queen of Jealousy in Asia long ago; she'd be so jealous she'd die of jealousy.

Xia Xiaoxiao is now immune to many behaviors. As long as it's not kissing or getting into bed, she just ignores it and doesn't care.

Being able to sleep in for an extra half hour during the school term brings unparalleled happiness.

In order to give Wu Lingyu more time to sleep, they stopped cooking breakfast at home a long time ago.

When Xu Qingfan finally came down the stairs, the five girls were already wearing their shoes and waiting for him at the door.

The blue and white school uniform and the clean and pure high ponytail will always be Xu Qingfan's top white moonlight.

"Brother Fan, hurry up!"

"It's almost 6:30, and he's even slower than us girls."

It was like a scene from a dream: five bright-eyed, white-toothed, graceful young girls waving to him as he went to school. But this was just Xu Qingfan's daily life.

"You're here." He put on a sunny and cheerful smile and walked towards the five people.

After saying goodbye to Xiaobai, the six of them walked side by side on their way to school.

The October mornings were already a bit chilly, but the temperature was just right after putting on a winter school uniform.

After Xiao Ruanwen took the lead, everyone hummed a cheerful melody together, and their steps became more cheerful as they walked.

"I want to eat rice noodles!" Xiao Ruanwen said.

“Then let’s eat!” Xu Qingfan replied.

Like Shaxian snacks, Chaoshan soup noodles have spread throughout the city's streets and alleys. All the shops that have stood the test of time must have authentic flavors.

The shop they frequented had been open for over thirty years, passed down from father to son, and then from son to grandson.

A bowl of meatball and sliced ​​meat soup noodles costs only three yuan. The soup is topped with a generous amount of celery and free chili rings, enough to satisfy the hearts of poor students.

"The usual." After the six people sat down, Xu Qingfan simply called out, and the boss understood.

Six bottles of Vitasoy and six bowls of soup powder were served quickly.

"For you."

"Here you go, Brother Qingfan."

"Fan, eat more."

"Brother will give it to you."

At this time, the five girls would always put some noodles into Xu Qingfan's bowl first, and then start slurping the noodles.

"Is that jerk Xu Qingfan from Class 6?"

"I'm so envious, damn it."

"Keep your voice down."

"I'd be willing to live a day less if I had to eat that bowl of noodles!"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"."

Almost all the people having breakfast at this time are students from Licheng Middle School. The whispers of countless heartbroken male students are also a part of their precious youth.

In 2010, a bottle of Vitasoy retailed for two yuan. After breakfast, Xu Qingfan paid the owner thirty yuan, and the six of them left together with their backpacks on their backs.

It wasn't until they had walked quite a distance that Xiao Ruanwen couldn't help but put her arm around his shoulder and burst into laughter: "Hehehe~ Brother Fan, why didn't you curse back when that guy called you a jerk?"

Xu Qingfan pressed her head down: "Please call me handsome!"

"Hahaha"

I returned to the classroom at exactly 7:00, just as the bell for morning reading rang.

"Brother Qingfan, you'll be leading the morning reading for the first period, Chinese!" Lin Wanning glanced at the blackboard after sitting down. Their rule for morning reading was that whatever was taught in the first period, that's what they would read during morning reading.

After the election of the second-year class committee, each of them was given a position, more or less. Xu Qingfan was the Chinese class representative, Xia Xiaoxiao was the math class representative, Wu Lingyu was the English class representative, Xiao Ruanwen was the music class representative, Zhang Yiyi was the politics class representative, and Lin Wanning was the art class representative.

It wasn't that the teacher was deliberately targeting those who got in through connections. In junior high, class representatives are naturally associated with grades. These six students consistently ranked in the top six of the class, so there was no reason why they couldn't be elected as class officers.

"Alright, give me some face and study hard. Xia Xiaoxiao, you're not allowed to do anything else." Xu Qingfan took out his Chinese textbook from the drawer, rolled it up like a pillar, and tapped Xia Xiaoxiao on the head before leaving.

"Tsk!"

Before the girl could get angry, Xu Qingfan had already scurried up to the podium.

"Take out your Chinese textbook, open to page 151, 'Prelude to Water Melody: When Will the Moon Be Bright?' by Su Shi, get ready to read!"

"Prelude to Water Melody"

The classroom was filled with scattered recitations at first, but after a moment, the recitations became uniform.

Xu Qingfan glanced out the window and, sure enough, there was the homeroom teacher standing outside.

"A request for leave? Why do you need to ask for leave? Didn't we just have National Day?" In the office, the homeroom teacher was completely bewildered by Xu Qingfan's request for leave.

"Could it be that the mushrooms in Kuncheng are ripe again, and you want to go eat mushrooms again?" Before Xu Qingfan could explain, she added.

"Hehehe"

Good-natured laughter instantly filled the office. It was no secret among the teachers and students of the whole school that they had gone on a trip to Kunming in a fit of anger when they were in the first year of junior high school.

Presumably, even after the six students graduate from junior high school, their teachers will continue to pass on this story from one class to the next.

The teachers in the office were all quite friendly, after all, Xu Qingfan was a top student who had consistently ranked among the top three in the grade, and his background seemed quite formidable.

"Remember to pack some extra so we can have some too."

“Qingfan and his classmates were able to get into Huafu High School through self-study. I think you should hurry up and approve their leave, Teacher Liang. Maybe you can even get some mushrooms to eat.”

"That's the truth!"

Xu Qingfan awkwardly scratched his toes on the spot. He coughed and then explained, "Ahem...we're not going to eat mushrooms. The Asian Games torch will be relayed to Licheng in a few days, and we're going to be torchbearers."

"what?"

The teachers all thought they hadn't heard clearly and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"You're going to be torchbearers, the kind of torchbearers I understand?" Class teacher Liang Yulan asked uncertainly.

"Yes, Wan Ning, Yi Yi, and I will be the torchbearers. It's really nothing, just running a few hundred meters." Xu Qingfan nodded.

The teachers in the office looked at each other, and finally one of them couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "How were you three selected as torchbearers? I heard that only celebrities can be selected?"

That's true. The participants in the torch relay are usually representatives from all walks of life, athletes, cultural and artistic workers, etc., and these three junior high school students are obviously not among them.

Xu Qingfan shrugged: "When Wan Ning, Yi Yi, and I were in elementary school, we published a comic book. Later, we made a small contribution to preventing fraud, so it was selected."

He was being modest, after all, Zhang Chaoqun would be able to become a high-ranking official in a year or two, and he was only in his early forties.

Originally, the organizers intended to place them as the last runners at the port city station. These three junior high school students, authors of comic books with millions of sales, and outstanding contributions to the field of fraud prevention are enough to represent the port city in sending greetings to the world.

However, Xu Qingfan and Zhang Chunxue felt that it was too ostentatious, so with the help of an invisible hand, they changed to Licheng Station in Shankala.

Aside from the starting and ending stations where large numbers of reporters and spectators gather, the traffic at other stations will be much lower, and the footage that makes it onto television will probably only last two seconds after editing.

Xu Qingfan later explained that the comic they drew was called "Hilarious Daily Life." The teachers' gazes towards him changed repeatedly because they had the book in their own desk drawers. Some of it was confiscated from students, while others were distributed by higher authorities.

"Why do Xiaolingyu and Ruanwen also need to ask for leave? Are they also going to be torchbearers?" Liang Yulan asked, looking up in confusion as she wrote the fourth leave slip.

"Oh, them? They're going to volunteer." Xu Qingfan made up a story on the spot. He couldn't very well say that they just wanted to ask for leave, after all, teachers have their pride too.

"Hmm." Liang Yulan continued to lower her head and quickly wrote six leave slips.

After receiving six leave slips, he waved goodbye contentedly and said, "Thank you, teacher. I'll go back to class now."

Xu Qingfan, who usually keeps a low profile, successfully put on a big show in front of several of his teachers.

After he left, the teachers began to whisper among themselves.

"I knew these kids were something special, they'd definitely amount to something in the future. I reckon it won't be long before the principal personally greets them when they come back."

"Then you'd better hurry up and cling to his big thigh, and introduce him to any daughters or relatives you have."

"Come on, do you think your daughter's relatives are prettier than his five group members?"

"Hahaha"

"Dang-dang-dang!"

Xu Qingfan, who had returned with a full load of goods, slammed six leave slips onto the center of the table.

"Wow~ Brother Fan, I love you to death!" Upon seeing her name on the leave slip, Xiao Ruanwen excitedly kissed it wildly.

"Don't you mind getting dirty?" Xia Xiaoxiao poked her head in disgust.

"Hehe~ One day of class, two days off, no need to make up for lost time, that's great!" After he sat down, Lin Wanning took Xu Qingfan's arm and shook his head left and right.

"Yes!" Zhang Yiyi and Wu Lingyu both had joyful expressions on their faces.

The last day of the National Day holiday is Thursday. If they don't ask for leave, they will have to attend classes for eight days in a row, including Friday, Saturday, and the following week. It's a holiday adjustment that can drive people crazy.

After taking leave, the six of them had a full day of classes today and then had their usual two-day weekend. Everything returned to normal. In two words, it was wonderful!
Xiao Ruanwen wanted to say more, but the homeroom teacher had already come in. The six of them could only exchange knowing smiles, find their English books, and start class.

Perhaps it was because of the holiday tomorrow, but the whole day flew by.

When the school bell rang in the afternoon, none of the six students had brought their homework. After packing their bags, they rushed out of the classroom like happy little spores.

"Duck rush!"

"Yay! I'm the first one to rush home!"

Lin Wanning was the first to rush into the yard and touch Xiaobai's head.

"Don't run so fast tomorrow, there's a time limit," Xu Qingfan said, flicking her tuft of hair.

"Hehe~ Of course I know, I'll be following Brother Qingfan tomorrow!"

"I'll stay by my brother's side too!"

"We'll take photos and videos for you tomorrow!"

"The clothes are dry, try them on first," Wu Lingyu said, pointing to the three bright red tracksuits fluttering in the wind on the second-floor balcony.

"Ok!"

Xia Xiaoxiao watched the three of them run home hand in hand and bit her lower lip. She was still very envious of the opportunity to work with Xu Qingfan to accomplish something and stand in the spotlight together after achieving success.

I will also work hard so that I can help him in other ways in the future, and then we can stand in the spotlight together!
"Little one, what are you still doing standing at the door? Come in quickly!"

"it is good!"
