I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 343. Life is as easy as turning one's hand.
A chill ran through his crotch shortly afterward, and Xu Qingfan shrank his feet, quickly leaving the rooftop.

Almost exactly like Xia Xiaoxiao, he returned to his room immediately, found two clean pairs of thermal underwear and underpants in the closet, and then rushed to the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, Xu Qingfan, having changed his pants again, sneaked out of the bathroom.

Fortunately, it was late afternoon and Xu Aiguo and Yao Jinping were out, otherwise, with their experience, they would have immediately seen what Xu Qingfan had just done in the toilet.

After all, it was the middle of the day, and he was holding two wet pairs of pants; what he had done was obvious.

Xu Qingfan kicked over the little brother who was rubbing against his feet, and walked to the balcony to throw his pants into the washing machine.

In the old-style Lianhua Courtyard residential area, his balcony was only half a meter away from Xia Xiaoxiao's. If it weren't for the security bars, one could easily step over to the other side.

Xu Qingfan was looking down at his phone when he looked up again and found that Xia Xiaoxiao had also come to the balcony, and she looked exactly like him, holding a pair of dripping pants in her hand.

The girl happened to look up at that moment and immediately noticed Xu Qingfan and the wet pants he was holding.

With just a simple glance, he understood, and she understood too.

The scene seemed to freeze there, the two looking at each other's wet pants, a look that seemed to last an eternity.

evening.

The six people were walking to buy groceries; there weren't many pedestrians on the street.

"Xiaoxiao, you're acting strange today?" Xiao Ruanwen asked, walking backwards and looking up in confusion.

"Oh, really? I've always done this, haven't I?" Xia Xiaoxiao casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Brother Fan, why haven't you said a word today?" Xiao Ruanwen turned around and looked at Xu Qingfan with a questioning gaze.

"I'm thinking about math problems, so just keep walking!" Xu Qingfan reached out and pulled the girl back, preventing her from bumping into a lamppost.

"Brother Qingfan, shall we have hot pot tonight?" Lin Wanning waved to them from afar, pulling Zhang Yiyi along.

"Okay!" Xu Qingfan flicked Xiao Ruanwen's forehead and waved back to the adorable Wan Ning.

"I brought chili sauce if we're having hot pot." Wu Lingyu looked up at Xu Qingfan quietly.

"Hmm, tonight we'll have abalone, pork tripe, and chicken hot pot. Let's nourish ourselves properly!" Xu Qingfan patted Xiaoyu's head.

When he mentioned taking a good rest, he seemed to remember something and subconsciously looked at Xia Xiaoxiao. As if by telepathy, Xia Xiaoxiao also suddenly turned her head to look at him.

Their eyes met for less than three seconds before the two, feeling guilty, simultaneously looked away.

Xiao Ruanwen watched the whole thing, her mind also deep in thought.

[Something's wrong, something's very wrong!]
The hot pot ingredients for dinner were very nutritious, including large oysters that are good for beauty and health, as well as a big plate of chicken.

Happy 15th birthday to our little one!

"Cheers everyone!"

"cheers!"

With Xia Xiaoxiao's birthday over, the unforgettable year of 2010 has finally come to an end.

That year, 3G networks began to become widespread, Haowei Takeaway began to expand nationwide, their investment companies sowed many seeds, and the number of Haowei Duck Neck and Haowei Milk Tea stores both exceeded 5,000.

Thousands of people gathered under their banner, together weaving a beautiful and happy life.

Since the company is not yet listed, Xu Qingfan doesn't really know how much he has in terms of wealth; it might be 500 million or 1 billion.

But one thing is certain: this is just the beginning.

In the ninth year since his rebirth, Xu Qingfan has grown from a 6-year-old child into a 15-year-old teenager, and everything in his life, studies, career, family, and friendships has gone smoothly.

For him, the first half of his life was a piece of cake.

Will the next ten years of my life, from adolescence to youth, still be able to be so successful? I think it is.
As winter turned to spring, one day, even the student who used to dislike studying the most started to work hard. The words "Only 100 days left until the high school entrance exam" appeared in the lower right corner of the blackboard.

In the sweltering heat of midsummer, cicadas chirped incessantly.

The old-fashioned ceiling fan made a creaking sound when it was working, and the air it blew did not bring any coolness. On the contrary, everyone's foreheads were covered with beads of sweat.

Sweat dripped onto the exam paper, spreading the ink and getting all over my hands.

Pen refills were used up one after another, and test papers were filled out one after another. I had no idea when it would end.

Looking back on this experience in the future, everyone will probably feel genuinely "wonderful" and exhausted.

But for the current ninth graders, not many people actually feel tired; instead, they feel fulfilled, having made a little progress each day compared to yesterday.

Thursday, May 19, 2011, sunny.

With only thirty days left until the high school entrance exam, all the ninth-grade students at Licheng Middle School were not at school today, but instead traveled by bus to the gymnasium several kilometers away.

Today is the day of the physical fitness test for the high school entrance examination.

11年的体育中考还是1+1的形式，即男生1000/女生800，加跳绳/铅球/跳远等任意一项。

At 2:30 p.m., they followed the team to the stadium.

After completing their stretching exercises in an open area, they were immediately taken to the jump rope testing area.

Because rope skipping is the only sport that doesn't rely heavily on talent, almost all the students at Licheng Middle School signed up for rope skipping, including Xu Qingfan and his six classmates.

There were twenty people in the group taking the exam, including five girls. Xu Qingfan waved to encourage them: "Come on, don't be nervous, just dance at your usual pace!"

"Ok!"

"Brother Fan, just you wait!"

Apart from Xiao Ruanwen making an easy fist gesture, the other four girls were quite nervous. After all, they only had one chance to jump rope, and if they fell off the rope more than twice, they definitely wouldn't get a perfect score.

The proctor blew the whistle, and the exam officially began.

Worried that it would affect their performance, Xu Qingfan didn't say anything more, but silently counted the number of times Lin Wanning scored. After all, the girls were the worst at sports among the five, and if she could get a perfect score, then the other four would definitely get a perfect score as well.

"The exam is over!"

A minute passed quickly, and the proctor announced the end of the exam through a loudspeaker.

All five girls jumped rope flawlessly, a perfect score was a certainty. Xu Qingfan ran forward with their schoolbags in hand: "Wan Ning is 188cm tall, a perfect score!"

In the middle school entrance exam, there is no gender distinction for rope skipping. As long as you skip rope 176 times or more in one minute, you will get full marks.

"Yay!!!" Lin Wanning jumped up and down happily.

"It's almost your turn, go to the assembly first." In just over half a year, Xia Xiaoxiao has grown a little taller, reaching 1.72 meters in height, with her legs taking up a meter of the height.

"Okay, wait for me to come back." Xu Qingfan tossed his backpack to the girl and jogged towards the meeting point.

"Come on, Brother Fan!"

"Go, Qingfan!" Five beautiful girls shouted at Xu Qingfan's departing figure, instantly attracting the attention of candidates from other schools.

"If anyone has the QQ numbers of those five girls, I'll give them a Spirit Fox!"

"Who's that bastard?"

"I'm so envious, I'm practically purple!"

"."

However, since exams were coming up soon, no self-important students approached them to chat.

Xu Qingfan's jump rope results came out soon: 211 jumps, a perfect score.

The five girls immediately fed him water and wiped his sweat. Amidst the grinding of teeth from the onlookers, Xu Qingfan led the five girls to the track inside the stadium.

If the previous jump rope was just an appetizer, then the long-distance run is undoubtedly the main event of the day.

Under the visible heatwave, just standing on the track is an ordeal, let alone wanting to achieve a perfect score.

Unlike rope skipping, running doesn't start with an immediate test. Each group takes at least five minutes, and there's a series of follow-up tasks such as recording scores. So, when they came in, they could only sit in the audience and watch the junior high students from other schools run first.

"I need to go to the toilet again." Lin Wanning had already been to the toilet twice in just over ten minutes since he sat down, and this was the third time.

"Don't be nervous, I'll run with you on the inner track later. It's only three minutes and thirty seconds, which is 105 seconds per lap. It's very easy," Xu Qingfan comforted the girl, holding her hand.

"Hehe~ It seems like I'm not in a hurry anymore." For some reason, after Xu Qingfan held her hand, Lin Wanning suddenly felt less nervous.

"Then let's not go. That toilet is too smelly. I really don't want to go a second time." Xiao Ruanwen pinched her nose in disgust. Those who know, know what the toilets in the playground and gymnasium smell like.

"Do girls sometimes not flush the toilet?" Xu Qingfan asked curiously, turning his head as if he had never been to a women's restroom before.

"Ugh~ Of course, some people have no public spirit at all, it's disgusting." Recalling the surprise she saw when she pushed open the toilet door, Xiao Ruanwen felt nauseous for a moment.

"Stop, can we not talk about such suggestive topics?" Xia Xiaoxiao reached out and slapped the two of them once each.

"All male students of Class 96, Licheng Middle School, please assemble on the playground immediately. Class 96, Licheng Middle School"

The loudspeaker above kept playing. Xu Qingfan took out his water bottle, took a sip, moistened his lips, and handed his schoolbag to Xiaoyu: "I'll be right back. You don't need to come down. You two can rest and recharge here."

"Hurry up and go." Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't stand his smugness and lightly kicked his shin.

"Go, Qingfan!"

"Eat it after you finish running." Zhang Yiyi stuffed a chocolate into his hand.

"Alright." Xu Qingfan snapped his fingers and quickly jogged to the meeting point.

When we arrived at the starting line for the 1,000 meters, most of the male students in the class had already arrived.

The PE teacher leading the team suddenly walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Xu Qingfan, you'll be the leader later. Just keep the speed under three minutes and thirty seconds. If you dare to rush around, I'll be the first to slap you after the exam!"

The PE teacher had a reason for saying that: Xu Qingfan's physical fitness was like that of an animal. In the physical education entrance exam organized by the school, he ran 1,000 meters in 2 minutes and 53 seconds, and he didn't even bend over or pant after finishing.

However, his teammates were not so lucky. Because they followed his pace, many of them started to run out of energy after 600 meters and almost walked the last 400 meters.

"I understand, Teacher Li. Six bottles of Mineral Water isn't too much, is it?" Xu Qingfan knew he was joking, so he replied with a grin.

"You're a big eater, aren't you? You drank six bottles by yourself?" Old Li said instinctively.

Before Xu Qingfan could even explain, the students in the class were already pointing at the distance of the track and making a fuss.

"The teacher bought the remaining five bottles of Fan Ge for his group members."

"Bought it for his five female team members!"

"Hahaha!"

Xu Qingfan and Lao Li looked in the direction everyone was pointing and discovered that the five girls who had been in the audience had come down and were walking towards them.

"Haha, good lad, six bottles, right? I'll buy them for you after I finish the run!"

The proctors arrived quickly, and the students were ready to take their positions on the track.

"bump!"

As soon as the starting gun fired, Xu Qingfan took the lead and charged ahead.

The cheers of the five girls were quickly drowned out by the wind. Xu Qingfan smiled slightly and ran comfortably on the track.

Even without the PE teacher's instruction, given Xu Qingfan's character, he wouldn't just keep charging forward to show off.

This is the same principle as getting a tattoo and acting crazy while drunk. You might think you look cool, but your group members will just think you're an idiot.

Not long after, Xu Qingfan crossed the finish line in exactly three minutes and thirty seconds, and the last student in the class also successfully reached the finish line before three minutes and forty-five seconds.

"Thanks, Brother Fan."

"Aaaaaah~ I'm finally done with the fucking exams!"

Some students thanked him for his selfless leadership, while others went crazy to relieve stress.

Xu Qingfan smiled and nodded, reminding them, "Don't sit down yet, let's help each other walk for a while first."

"Your six bottles of Mineral Water, and anyone who wants ice cream, come and get some, first come, first served!" Teacher Li quickly returned with a bag of water and a bag of ice cream. After shouting, the students who had been lying down instantly transformed into sprinters.

"Thank you, teacher." Xu Qingfan pulled a bottle of drink from his bag and tossed it to him: "This is on you."

"You little rascal." Old Li caught it and shook his head with a smile.

Throughout one's school years, it's inevitable to encounter a few teachers like this: easygoing and approachable, always mingling with students, whose personal charm makes even the most mischievous students spontaneously follow classroom rules.

Soon it was the girls' turn for the 800-meter physical fitness test in Class 96. They had agreed that Xiao Ruanwen would lead the race. As soon as the starting gun fired, the girl immediately took the lead and ran in the front.

Xia Xiaoxiao and Wu Lingyu followed closely behind, while Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi fell to the second tier.

Xu Qingfan ran in the inner lane, and Zhang Yiyi ran in the outer lane. The two of them ran side by side with Lin Wanning.

"One and a half laps to go, the time is forty-five seconds now, hang in there." Xu Qingfan held his phone to time the whole thing, offering thoughtful encouragement.

Lin Wanning was starting to feel tired. She kept thinking about the sweet daily life she would have with Qingfan and Yiyi in the future, and only in this way could she alleviate some of her fatigue.

[In the future, Wan Ning, Yi Yi, and Qing Fan will run side by side like this, so let's keep going!]
[The end of happiness, here I come!]
The three of them crossed the finish line at the same time, with Xu Qingfan supporting the waists of the two girls on either side.

"Is Fan Ge a perfect score?"

Xiao Ruanwen quickly followed suit, helping Xia Xiaoxiao and Wu Lingyu over.

"The exam is over, and we all got full marks." Xu Qingfan nodded.

"Great!"
