I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 359. Oh no, Mom's here!
If you were to ask Zhang Yiyi how she feels right now?
She could still describe it; it felt like getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, turning on the light, and having a completely blank mind, only able to hear the buzzing sound of electricity that only occurs when a machine malfunctions.

Lin Wanning said that you should close your eyes when kissing, and she listened to him;
Lin Wanning said that kissing requires that, so she did it;
Lin Wanning also said that you should wear jeans when kissing, well, she wasn't wearing any.

Zhang Yiyi was truly regretful at this moment, extremely regretful. He hadn't listened to Wan Ning's advice, and now he was suffering the consequences!

She thought that if she was going to be uncomfortable, she could just bear it, but she never expected it!

Despite their meticulous planning, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi overlooked one crucial point: Xu Qingfan's audacity was extraordinary, especially in a private space like a restroom!
If Zhang Yiyi were to learn from Xia Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao would probably tell her that she must wear jeans!

As for the reason.
"Woo~"

Zhang Yiyi felt like she was going to break down. She could grit her teeth and resist the raging storm on the surface, but the hidden reefs and turbulent currents beneath the surface were sure to kill her.

The small boat had capsized, and the girl clung to his neck as if grasping at a last straw. If it weren't for Xu Qingfan's support, she would have sunk into the sea and drowned at any moment.

But then again, if it weren't for his bad hand supporting her, the girl would probably have swum back to shore long ago.

Before making the decision, in addition to seeking advice from "senior" Wan Ning, Zhang Yiyi also searched online for information about kissing.

She knew there were many kinds of kissing. For example, couples who were just starting out in a relationship would usually just touch each other lightly and consider it their first kiss.

But Zhang Yiyi wasn't satisfied with that; she wanted a kiss that was first like that, then like that, and then like that again.

So she continued scrolling down, and soon learned a lot of amazing knowledge from a rather unconventional blog.

Zhang Yi was initially full of confidence. She thought that Wan Ning was simply unprepared, which was why she was so easily defeated by Xu Qingfan.

She was like a good student who had memorized the textbook perfectly, and when it came to the real exam, the little brother easily won!
but.

[The kissing manual didn't say that my brother would hit me. Waaaaaah.]
"Rustle, rustle—"

The entire world seemed to have been reduced to a small, enclosed room, where people outside couldn't get in, and people inside couldn't get out, nor did they want to.

Zhang Yiyi once heard that the best way to teach someone who can't swim to swim in the shortest amount of time is to throw them into the water.

She had initially dismissed it, but now she wholeheartedly agreed!

As time went by, and after she had completely focused her attention on her bad brother, she felt her mind gradually becoming clearer.

"Boh~"

Zhang Yiyi turned around and began to try to use the knowledge she had learned to fight back.

Before long, she sensed the changes in her brother.

Zhang Yiyi was like a diligent little squirrel collecting pine cones in the forest, working even harder.

This is a two-way journey between the squirrel and the pine cone, with only the sapling as a witness.

No one knows how much time has passed. If you ask Xu Qingfan, he will say it was only a few minutes; if you ask Zhang Yiyi, she will say it felt like an eternity.

The squirrel finally managed to bite open the pine cone and eat the delicious flesh inside, but it was already exhausted and panting.

This was a battle with no winners; it would be more accurate to call it a win-win situation.

The two were like children tasting delicious chocolate for the first time, enjoying it immensely and tirelessly.

Gradually, Xu Qingfan was no longer satisfied with touching through clothing. Just as he was about to make his next move, the sound of footsteps outside the door startled them both.

Then, there was the sound of a middle-aged woman talking.

"We've been friends for over ten years, and they actually have the nerve to sell us outdated stuff!"

"Just recognize her true character; consider it a lesson learned from spending a few thousand dollars."

"I should have listened to you, Jingjing. I shouldn't have bought the appliances from someone I knew. Now you have to come with me in the middle of the day."

Xu Qingfan's hair stood on end, and Zhang Yiyi's eyes widened in shock as well.

Because the people outside the toilet were none other than Yao Jinping and Lin Jing!
The conversation continues.

"Jingjing, do you think the children have eaten yet? It's been another week since we left. I guess it will be even harder to see them after they go to university," Yao Jinping said with a touch of sadness as she walked to the sink.

"They'll all grow up eventually. Can they stay by our side forever?" Lin Jing shook her head with a smile.

“Why not? Xiaoxiao is beautiful and outstanding. You can find a son-in-law to live with you in the future. Otherwise, you’ll really live a lonely life.” Since there were no outsiders, Yao Jinping hugged her best friend from behind, just like when they were in school.

"Let Xiao Fan be my live-in son-in-law. From now on, the boy will have the surname Xu, and the girl will have the surname Lin, just like me." Lin Jing splashed water on her in annoyance.

"Of course I have no objection, as long as that brat is willing himself." Yao Jinping's heart skipped a beat, but she managed to get away with it with a grin.

Lin Jing glared at her. After all these years, she could tell from her little butt that she was taking a dump or pee. She could easily see through Yao Jinping's little schemes.

"Hurry up and finish using the restroom so you can pay. It's over 30 degrees Celsius. If you don't put those donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest back in the refrigerator soon, they'll melt."

"Um... um?" Yao Jinping was about to turn around to go to the toilet when she glanced sideways and saw two pairs of feet sticking out from the last stall.

She lowered her voice, a mix of nervousness and excitement in her voice: "Jingjing, look! The last cubicle! Look!"

Lin Jing looked in the direction she was pointing and quickly noticed the two pairs of feet that were exposed.

She frowned slightly; as a teacher, she clearly disapproved of this behavior and said in a low voice, "Let's go to another restroom."

Lin Jing clearly has a mental obsession with cleanliness and would never use the toilet in a stall with a strange man in it.

Yao Jinping, however, was more interested in gossip. She pulled Lin Jing, who was about to leave, and whispered, "The people inside are definitely not very old, maybe they're still students. Look at their shoes, my brat has a pair too. Do you think one of them might be my brat?"

Although the two spoke softly enough, the restroom was quiet to begin with. With Xu Qingfan and Zhang Yi holding their breath, they could hear not only whispers but also the sound of a pin dropping.

Xu Qingfan immediately softened. He and Zhang Yi exchanged a glance, their faces showing the guilt of having done something wrong.

Xu Qingfan didn't even dare to imagine how wonderful the scene would be if his mother caught him in the act.

"You're such a gossip, hurry up and go. If Xiao Fan knew you were making up stories about him like this, he'd definitely roll his eyes again." Lin Jing said, but she did take a closer look at the shoes. For some reason, the more she looked at them, the more she felt they looked like Xiao Fan's feet.

"You think that's true? These days, fifteen or sixteen-year-old middle school students are really wild. Take that girl from the Lotus Compound, for example. She got pregnant while she was in junior high and didn't know how to respect herself at all."

As Yao Jinping gossiped about other people's affairs, her voice unconsciously grew louder: "If my brat dared to do that kind of thing with a young girl, I promise I'd break his legs!"

"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang—" Xu Qingfan felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He promised that he would burn these Air Force shoes when he got home and only support domestic brands from now on!

Zhang Yiyi was also terrified, her back covered in cold sweat. If her aunt knew that she was the one who brought her brother in, she definitely wouldn't like her anymore.

“If you’re so suspicious, why don’t you just make a phone call and find out?” Lin Jing shook her head. She still didn’t believe that Xiao Fan would do something so indecent. In her memory, Xu Qingfan had always been a well-behaved child with excellent grades and conduct.

"bump!"

Xu Qingfan, who was inside the restroom, was so frightened that he almost lost his balance and bumped into the wooden door while holding Zhang Yiyi, making a dull thud.

Fortunately, reality isn't a movie, and the wooden door of the Times Square restroom was sturdy enough that the two people didn't fall out along with the door after being hit so hard.

"Mobile phone! Mobile phone!" Zhang Yiyi suddenly felt her strength return, and after regaining her balance, she waved her hands and feet and spoke in sign language.

Xu Qingfan nodded frantically, frantically searching for his phone before turning it to silent mode.

Lin Jing and Yao Jinping were also frightened. If a burly man had really rushed out of the cubicle, the two frail women would have been quite afraid.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly ran away.

"Whoo~"

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Xu Qingfan and Zhang Yiyi let out a long sigh of relief.

Both of them were covered in sweat, feeling a sense of relief at having survived a disaster.

No wonder so many great photographers throughout history have chosen to photograph toilets; it's thrilling, truly thrilling!

Xu Qingfan and Zhang Yiyi's eyes met without them realizing it. They stared at each other for a while, and then both of them smiled knowingly.

Zhang Yiyi pulled up her sleeves and used her hands to wipe the sweat from her brother's forehead.

Xu Qingfan just watched her quietly. Although the rocket hadn't launched yet, his "wise man mode" had already arrived because he had been forcibly interrupted by his mother.

Looking at the gentle and quiet girl in front of me, if I hadn't experienced it myself, it would be hard to imagine that my lips were swollen from her kisses.

Zhang Yiyi's gaze kept getting fixed on Xu Qingfan's swollen lips. She had only seen half of the kissing secrets last time, and there was an advanced version to follow. She was determined to learn it all!

[I also need to teach Wan Ning.] She added in her mind.

Soon, the girl withdrew her hand, and Xu Qingfan helped her tidy her wet hair instead.

He carefully smoothed Zhang Yiyi's hair, because they didn't know when their mother would leave, and they didn't dare to go out for the time being.

When people enter a state of "wise mania," they inevitably begin to engage in self-criticism.

Xu Qingfan is really troubled now because his growing emotional needs for the five girls contradict the modern societal notion that one can only marry one wife.

It's human nature to want to possess all the good things, and Xu Qingfan was no exception.

He cherished the five girls as treasures and naturally hoped that they could stay with him forever.

He condemned himself morally, but spiritually he longed for it.

[First, we need to get the five of them to get along peacefully; second, we need to deal with their parents.]
Xu Qingfan knew it was impossible after thinking about it. The Qing Dynasty had been gone for over a hundred years. Did you still think it was like the ancient imperial harem?

[Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm only in my first year of high school. I'll think about it in college.]
Xu Qingfan, who also had lustful thoughts but lacked the courage to act on them, quickly chose to give up.

The fact that Yao Jinping didn't call him after leaving was a relief to both of them.

Although her aunt seemed to dislike this behavior, Zhang Yiyi didn't regret it, because it was her brother!
[Yi-Yi isn't a shameless girl; it's just that only her brother can do that. Her brother is different!]
Although Xu Qingfan had just been quite engrossed in his moment, Zhang Yiyi was still worried that he would be angry. The girl timidly poked his stomach with her finger and asked with her head down, "Will brother not like Yiyi like this?"

Xu Qingfan was taken aback, then immediately said, "I know what kind of person Yi Yi is, and I will never blame her."

Zhang Yiyi was overjoyed. Although she didn't hear anything like "I like Yiyi too," she was still very happy.

"Ok!"

Zhang Yiyi nodded very seriously, then said shyly, "It's because he's my brother, it's because he's my brother that I'm like this."

Xu Qingfan patted the girl's head and said nothing more.

Of course, he also wanted to say something like "I like Yi Yi very much too," but his survival instinct told him that it was best not to take the initiative or refuse at this stage.

Let's wait until it's too late, then we'll take full responsibility!
More than five minutes passed.

Xu Qingfan took out his phone to check; it was almost 1 p.m., and they had spent a full hour buying groceries.

To be more precise, I spent half an hour in the toilet.

"Let's go outside," Xu Qingfan said softly.

"Ah."

Since they hadn't heard any footsteps outside, Zhang Yiyi didn't need to go out first to scout ahead. The two opened the door and left the women's restroom with brisk steps.

When they came out of the mall again, Xu Qingfan didn't even have time to catch his breath. He immediately pulled Zhang Yiyi down the fire escape to the first floor.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter Lin Jing and Yao Jinping along the way, and the two returned to the dessert shop on the first floor without any danger.

Six boxes of ice jelly were already prepared and placed on the table. Since there were many claw machines in the mall, the shop assistant didn't seem to find it strange. The two of them walked for half an hour.

After gathering all their belongings, the two once again fled Times Square stealthily and without delay.

Lin Jing and Yao Jinping may still be in the store, or they may have already left, but in any case, the two can only pray that they did not see them.

Zhang Yiyi put on her helmet and took one last look at the third floor of the square. A sly smile appeared on the girl's lips. She would remember this place for the rest of her life.

The pink electric scooter started moving on the road again. The sun overhead was still scorching, but the two of them felt an indescribable sense of joy as they enjoyed the breeze.

"Yi-yi, could you answer the phone for me? They might be urging us." Xu Qingfan said as his phone rang in his pocket.

"it is good!"
