I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 350. Wan Ning wants a kiss too!
Lin Wanning was wearing slippers at home. Just as she would leave a pair of shoes at home that belonged to her brother Qingfan, Xu Qingfan had also left slippers for the five girls.

What I bought for her was a pair of adorable Hello Kitty shoes, but Kitty was in a rather disheveled state at the moment, as the shoes had slipped down to her ankles and crushed her into a Kitty pancake.

Logically speaking, walking barefoot on one foot should be very slow, especially for someone like Lin Wanning, who is a complete novice in sports.

However, it does not.

The girl ran with great determination. Her right ankle was already marked with deep red welts from her slippers, but she seemed oblivious to it and kept rushing downstairs.

"Don't run so fast, be careful not to fall!" Xu Qingfan, also wearing slippers, chased after her, but because it wasn't flat ground, he was always a floor away from the girl.

The more Xu Qingfan said this, the more Lin Wanning wanted to run away.

The girl didn't know why she ran away. Normally, she would have come running without Qingfan calling her.

In fact, Lin Wanning knew this, because he was afraid that after Xu Qingfan caught her, he would say to her in person, "Lin Wanning, you are too annoying. I'm getting annoyed with you. Let's be in different classes in high school!"

She was afraid to hear such words. Her world was vast, vast enough to encompass everything in the world; yet her world was also small, so small that nothing would be left after Xu Qingfan left.

Lin Wanning felt as if a giant hole had been smashed open in his world, and a torrential downpour was pouring down.

She kept running, hoping to find a place to take shelter from the rain, only to find the whole world devastated and filled with endless rain.

The security system at the new house was quite advanced. Lin Wanning frantically groped around with her little hands, but the door remained completely still.

She knew Xu Qingfan was right behind her. If she couldn't open the door soon, she would be caught and told by her brother Qingfan, "Wan Ning, you're too annoying. I don't like you anymore."

Lin Wanning originally thought that as long as he escaped home, everything could start over, just like saving a game. Once he got home, he could reload the save.

Xu Qingfan arrived on the first floor almost immediately. When he saw the girl being stopped by the security gate of her new home, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but want to laugh.

This access control system is particularly cunning. Although there is a latch on the door, it is fixed in place. The actual button to open the door is on a white switch on the wall.

He complained about this design when he moved to his new house, but unexpectedly it came in handy today.

"Why are you running? I'm not a man-eating monster," he said, slowing his pace behind him.

However, Xu Qingfan's sudden voice was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The girl gave up fiddling with the broken lock on the door and unexpectedly squatted down on the ground and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah~ Brother Qingfan, please don't say it, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it!" Lin Wanning covered her ears and cried loudly.

Xu Qingfan froze on the spot, stunned. He had expected Lin Wanning to be upset by acting first and informing him later, but he hadn't expected her to be upset this much!
Moreover, what he can't stand the most is Lin Wanning crying. From childhood to adulthood, today seems to be the first time he has made a girl cry.

He has always doted on Wan Ning, who is so adorable, as if she were his daughter.

"I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore, Wan Ning, please don't cry anymore." He squatted down and hugged the girl, whispering softly.

Lin Wanning did not answer him, or perhaps his ears were covered and he couldn't hear.

Xu Qingfan quickly realized this and reached out to pry her hand away, but Lin Wanning covered it even more tightly and closed her eyes as well.

"Waaaaah, I won't listen! Waaaaah, I won't let Brother Qingfan hate me!" The girl covered her ears until they were red, stubbornly crying as she spoke.

Xu Qingfan was a little confused. [When did I start disliking Wan Ning?]
“Who hates Wan Ning? Nobody hates Wan Ning! I love Wan Ning the most!” Worried that he might hurt her hand by bending it too hard, he could only whisper in Lin Wan Ning’s ear.

"Waaaaah?"

The girl clearly heard Xu Qingfan's words through bone conduction. Lin Wanning's crying stopped, and she raised her head blankly.

"Waaaaah~ Brother Qingfan, don't hate me?" But she was still caught up in the moment and quickly started crying again, only this time she didn't cover her ears with her hands.

"How could I possibly hate Wan Ning? Who told you that? Wan Ning is my absolute favorite person," Xu Qingfan said as he wiped away her tears.

"Waaaaah, Qingfan-gege, you... ah?"

Lin Wanning was interrupted from casting a spell again, staring at him with red-rimmed eyes.

Xu Qingfan was amused by the girl's adorable expression and pinched her cheeks, saying, "What nonsense are you thinking? When did I ever say I hated Wan Ning? I will never hate Wan Ning in my life, you know?"

"But... Waaaaah, Brother Qingfan, you didn't even discuss the class assignment with me, waaaaah!" Lin Wanning burst into tears again at the thought of this.

"That doesn't mean I don't like Wan Ning. Does not discussing it with you mean I don't like you?" Xu Qingfan felt that this sentence was cheesy, and he blushed a little when he said it.

"Waaah...but...but waaaah...ah?" Lin Wanning's spellcasting was interrupted for the third time. His brain was really about to crash at this moment, and his clever IQ had taken over again.

Xu Qingfan really thought Wan Ning was so cute. Even though he was crying, he could still listen to what she said, and most importantly, he could think!
He reached out to pull the slipper out of the girl's ankle, but he had been squatting for too long and the slipper was now strangling her.

Lin Wanning felt the pain and looked down, only to realize the ridiculous state of his feet.

"Waaah, I don't know either."

"Ouch~" She reached out and tried to pull it out herself, but ended up crying out in pain.

"Go home and get some dish soap, I'll carry you back." Xu Qingfan helped the girl up by the armpits.

"Waaah... I... I don't want to go back so soon!" Lin Wanning also had her pride. She cried her eyes out, and her slippers got stuck in them. It would be too embarrassing if the adults saw her like that.

Xu Qingfan quickly realized this as well, and rubbed his head, saying, "I told you to run so fast, so I'll carry you to the convenience store outside first and see if there's anything we can use."

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!" Lin Wanning nodded quickly, her sobbing had stopped, and her face was a mix of crying and laughing. She opened her arms for a hug.

Xu Qingfan affectionately pinched her little face, then turned around and half-squatted.

The girl's arms quickly wrapped around his neck. Xu Qingfan supported Lin Wanning's thighs with his hands, stood up again, and steadily carried her on his back.

"The access control is here. This will be your home from now on. Remember that." Xu Qingfan raised his hand and pressed the access control switch.

"Mmm." Lin Wanning glanced at it and then buried her face in Xu Qingfan's neck again.

"I'll talk to you about class assignments later. Let's get your slippers out first, otherwise your blood won't circulate properly if they're too tight." Xu Qingfan kept muttering to herself.

"Mm." Lin Wanning remained silent throughout.

[Nangong asked Ya whoever she touched would become stupid; it seems my head-patting technique is quite powerful.]
Xu Qingfan thought to himself, [I wonder what this silly girl is thinking. How could I possibly dislike her?]
Donghui City was recently handed over to residents, and many shops on the first floor are still under renovation. The only store currently open is a 7-Eleven convenience store.

"Sit here and wait for me, it'll be ready soon," Xu Qingfan said, placing Lin Wanning on a chair by the door. "Okay!"

Lin Wanning had stopped crying by this point, though her nose would occasionally twitch.

Xu Qingfan gave the girl another head pat before walking into the convenience store, satisfied.

The first thing he saw when he entered the room was what he was looking for: Okamoto lubricant.

Xu Qingfan first went to the freezer and took a 2L bottle of mineral water before returning to the cashier and calmly placing the lubricant he had his eye on on the counter.

The female shop assistant glanced at him a couple more times, but didn't say anything.

Xu Qingfan had a legitimate purpose for the bag, so he wasn't embarrassed at all. After paying, he declined the bag and confidently took it with him as he left.

Just kidding, ever since the plastic bag ban was implemented in Hong Kong, a plastic bag costs 50 cents, that's robbery!
People were generally quite conservative back then, and BYT didn't advertise as aggressively as it would a few years later, so Lin Wanning had never heard of this brand called Okamoto.

Xu Qingfan squeezed lubricant onto her feet, spread it evenly, and then easily removed the slippers.

After being tightly bound for a long time, a small red and swollen patch appeared on the girl's ankle, and Xu Qingfan gently massaged it for her with heartache.

"Does it hurt?"

Lin Wanning shook his head: "It doesn't hurt. What kind of duck is this, Brother Qingfan?"

She felt that this snot-like substance was cool and refreshing, and it felt quite comfortable when applied to her feet.

"Ahem... It's specifically for people to wear bracelets, because some people have big hands and it's hard for them to fit into bracelets." Xu Qingfan made up a story on the spot. It's reasonable for a convenience store to sell such daily necessities, right?

"Oh, is that so? I thought it was delicious." The girl cupped her cheeks in her hands, watching Qingfan clean her feet sweetly.

The cashier inside the glass display case chuckled. "Young people are just young people. They think the words 'lubricant' really mean lubricant."

[But applying it to the soles of your feet like this, and then stepping on them, ouch!] The female shop assistant felt as if she had been enlightened.

Xu Qingfan was still patiently washing the girl's feet. After running down from the seventh floor, Lin Wanning's soles were covered in dust, and her originally fair feet had turned grayish.

Since rubbing with his hands alone wasn't enough to clean them, Xu Qingfan squeezed some lubricant onto his hands and then rubbed his feet, which made them much cleaner.

Lin Wanning's feet were the smallest among the five girls, only size 34, otherwise her slippers wouldn't have slipped down to her ankles.

Ancient people believed that small feet were the epitome of beauty for women, and that deformed feet resulting from foot binding were not true beauty.

Only a girl like the one before me, with her slender feet and delicate hands, her six-inch round and smooth skin, is a true treasure of the world.

Especially now that the entire sole of the foot is covered in lubricant, it's like, like coating a piece of beautiful jade with sugar, making one want to do other things besides playing with it.

Xu Qingfan was a man who had transcended vulgar interests. He applied so much lubricant simply because he wanted to help Lin Wanning wash his feet clean. Yes, he was that kind of enthusiastic.

"Mmm~ Brother Qingfan."

"What's wrong?" Xu Qingfan looked up at her with a serious expression.

"Okay, that's fine." Lin Wanning lowered her eyes shyly instead.

"What about the other one? Do you want me to wash the other one too?" Xu Qingfan had no choice but to open the mineral water bottle and rinse it for her.

"No need, thank you, Brother Qingfan!" Lin Wanning playfully scratched the back of his hand with her toe.

Xu Qingfan helped her put on her shoes, poured water to wash his hands, and then stood up again. "Alright, the class assignment isn't what you think. I'll explain it to you slowly."

"Mmm!" Lin Wanning nodded obediently. She was no longer sad at all because Brother Qingfan still liked her!
[So it turns out Qingfan likes to play with Wanning's feet!]
Lin Wanning had already realized that Xu Qingfan had clearly not just washed her feet, but rather treated them like toys.

She wasn't quite sure, but being considerate, she wouldn't bring it up, lest it embarrass her brother Qingfan.

[If I accidentally make Qingfan angry in the future, I'll let him play with my feet!]
The afternoon sun was quite harsh, so after crossing the road to Licheng Square, the two of them quickly disappeared into the grove of trees to find shade.

At this time, the elderly are usually taking their afternoon nap, so it's a rare quiet and deserted place.

Xu Qingfan led the girl through the woods, explaining to her why he planned to be placed in a different class in high school.

There's really not much to say. It's just the same old story about expanding one's social circle. Even Wu Lingyu couldn't be convinced, let alone the girl in front of him.

But Lin Wanning didn't say anything to refute it. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she knew that what was done was done and there was no point in refusing. She might as well take the opportunity to negotiate more terms with Brother Qingfan!
"So Brother Qingfan only discussed it with Xiaoyu, and didn't just keep it from me, right?"

"Yeah, I just told Xiaoyu this morning. If I had known you would overthink it, I wouldn't have done it." Xu Qingfan felt a little guilty. He didn't expect Lin Wanning to be persuaded so easily. He should have known better than to use such tricks.

"Hmph~ Brother Qingfan is always like this!" She grabbed Xu Qingfan's arm and bit it, leaving a tooth mark.

It seems that girls like to do this: when they're angry, they bite their boyfriend's arm.

However, Lin Wanning did not use much force, so he only left a shallow mark on it, which will disappear in a short time.

Xu Qingfan didn't actually understand what the girl said, but he still straightened his posture and said, "I know I was wrong, I won't do it again next time."

Fortunately, Lin Wanning didn't ask him what he did wrong. Instead, she suddenly stopped and turned around to face him.

"Brother Qingfan."

"Ok?"

"Shouldn't you be punished for doing something wrong?" Lin Wanning asked.

"Yeah." He nodded.

Xu Qingfan had already made up his mind: even if the girl wanted the stars in the sky, he would invest in aerospace to bring them down for her.

"Then..." Lin Wanning didn't finish her sentence, but stood on tiptoe.

The next moment, a pair of rosy lips pressed against hers.

Xu Qingfan: !!!

[Again?]
