I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 363. The Cunning Ruan Wen

After a late-night snack, Xu Qingfan was forced to sign a series of unequal treaties.

This includes, but is not limited to: not initiating conversations with pretty female classmates, not putting your arm around a female classmate's shoulder, not bringing a female classmate breakfast or showing excessive attentiveness, and not proactively adding a female classmate on QQ or sending them private messages. (Teachers are also prohibited.)
Of course, the five of them are an exception.

"We can't just sign an unequal treaty and get nothing in return!" Xu Qingfan said, pretending to complain, on the way home.

"Then," Lin Wanning deliberately drew out his voice, and jogged up to him in his plane.

"Then I'll reward Brother Qingfan with a kiss!" The girl quickly pecked Xu Qingfan on the cheek, blushed, and ran quickly down the quiet campus path.

Xu Qingfan was slightly taken aback, then looked at the girl who was running around like a primary school student with her arms outstretched behind her back.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall!" he shouted, shaking his head.

"Hehehe~ I know!" Lin Wanning obediently slowed down, leisurely stepping on his own shadow under the streetlight.

Xia Xiaoxiao pursed her lips speechlessly; she still couldn't be as straightforward as Lin Wanning.

"What other reward do you want?" she asked indifferently, as if looking at a heartless man.

Xu Qingfan pointed to his face and put his hands behind his head in a cheerful mood.

Zhang Yiyi had wanted to kiss him for a long time, and seeing this, she immediately stood on tiptoe and gave him a second kiss on the face.

"It's a reward for my brother." The girl's cheeks flushed, her skin looked fair and rosy under the streetlights, and the evening breeze made her clothes flutter, making every strand of hair seem to glow.

"Shameless!" Xia Xiaoxiao watched Yi Yi run away and reluctantly bit Xu Qingfan's face.

Well, while others use kisses, the girl simply opened her mouth wide, completely covering the area where Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi had just kissed.

"Are you a dog?!" Xu Qingfan wiped the drool off his face, looking at the girl in front of him with a wry smile.

"I'll bite you to death." Xia Xiaoxiao made a face, and soon all that was left for him was a familiar high ponytail.

From an angle he couldn't see, the girl's face was already as radiant as a peach blossom.

Just as Xia Xiaoxiao opened her mouth to bite, she also stuck out her tongue and licked Xu Qingfan's face a few times like a puppy. The two of them understood each other without saying a word.

Seeing that Xiao Xiao had already kissed him, Wu Lingyu happily leaned forward and pecked him on the cheek.

"Brother Fanfan is the reward." After saying that, Xiaoyu hurriedly ran away.

The original team of six was suddenly reduced to only Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruanwen. The two looked at each other blankly for a moment.

"What?! Isn't it a reward for me, a beautiful girl, to be your deskmate?" Xiao Ruanwen scolded him playfully, then quickly ran away.

Xu Qingfan chuckled and shook his head, then put his hands back behind his head and followed the five people home at a leisurely pace.

It would be more accurate to say that he signed the unequal treaty willingly rather than being forced to do so.

Because he doesn't approach pretty female classmates, the five girls also don't make friends with the male classmates.

The night sky is sparsely lit by stars. Because it is far from the city center, the stars always appear exceptionally bright when you look up at the night sky from the high school section.

But he has already picked the five brightest ones.

Xu Qingfan reached out his hand and gripped the five girls' hands tightly.

It was already 10 p.m. when I got home.

Fortunately, three shower rooms were specially built during the renovation, so if you pair up, you don't have to wait.

Xu Qingfan did want someone to pair him up with, but that was obviously impossible. After gathering his change of clothes, he went down to the first-floor bathroom to take a shower.

The five girls' bedroom also has a bathroom with a large bathtub, where Xia Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ruanwen, and Wu Lingyu take showers.

The last restroom in the third-floor corridor was used by Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi.

Xu Qingfan took a shower and quickly finished showering.

When he reached the third floor, he heard Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi playing around in the bathroom, and he could also faintly hear Xiao Ruanwen's laughter from inside the room.

The bathtub in the master bedroom is actually quite large; if you squeeze in, it could comfortably seat six people.

[if]
Xu Qingfan shook his head and muttered to himself as he left the corridor: "Why are you daydreaming so late at night?"

After he finished drying all the military training uniforms in the washing machine, the five girls had already finished showering.

"Fan-ge, you've dried it?" Wu Lingyu jogged over after getting dressed, worried that if she left it out too late, her military training uniform wouldn't be dry the next day.

He hung up the last pair of camouflage pants to dry, and as he turned around, his eyes met those of the girl who had just come out of the bath.

Because it was almost time for bed, Xiaoyu was only wearing a blue nightgown, and if you looked closely, you could see the wet bathwater still clinging to her collarbone.

"Brother Fanfan." Wu Lingyu lowered her head shyly, her legs instinctively straightening.

For some reason, she had the feeling that she was standing naked in front of Fan Ge right now, and goosebumps instantly rose on her arms.

Actually, she knew, because when choosing pajamas, the girl had been bewitched and inexplicably picked out that pair of fitted pajama pants.
Xu Qingfan was stunned, as expected. She only came to her senses when Wu Lingyu called her: "Oh right, I came up here to sunbathe after taking a shower. Go back and rest early."

He put his hand on the girl's shoulder, turned around, and pushed her away with him.

"Ah huh."

Wu Lingyu shrank her neck and followed him away shyly, a feeling of joy inexplicably welling up inside her.

[Xiaoyu also has qualities that Fan Ge likes.]
The washing machine and balcony were both located on the second floor. When Xu Qingfan returned to the room, the four girls were sitting in a row on the bed, applying body lotion to each other. When they saw Xu Qingfan arrive, they all stopped what they were doing.

"Xiaoyu, come quick, I've applied too much." Xiao Ruanwen held up her hand, which was covered with freshly squeezed white lotion.

Xu Qingfan gently pushed Wu Lingyu's back. He had seen similar scenes too many times, but he still found it hard to bear.

"Ahem~ You guys get some rest, I'm going back to sleep, goodnight." He blinked, then turned and slipped away.

[Looks like I should wear underwear to bed from now on.]
"Good night."

Goodnight, Brother Qingfan!

Goodnight, Brother Fan!

Goodnight, brother!

Xu Qingfan smiled faintly. If he could still have nightmares like this, it could only mean that he had done too many bad things.

After turning off the lights, he lay down on his bed.

First, there was the little secret with Xiaoyu in the morning; then, at noon, he was cornered against the wall in the bathroom; and in the evening, he met his high school classmate from his past life.

Even though only one day had passed, Xu Qingfan felt that today was more exciting than the past month.

"Xiaoxiao kissed me, Wanning kissed me, and Yiyi kissed me too." He closed his eyes, recalling the feeling of noon in his mind.

Well, if Xiaoxiao is flexible and Wanning is gentle, then Yiyi is both.

Each of the three has its own merits. If Xu Qingfan had to choose again, he would only say that only children make choices; he wants them all!
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu," Xu Qingfan murmured to himself. He felt that if he didn't take the initiative, Wu Lingyu probably wouldn't either.

Like last time, sneaking a kiss at home when no one was around was already the limit. As for Xiaoyu pinning him against the wall in the bathroom like Yi Yi did, Xu Qingfan would never believe it, no matter what.

The scoundrel really wanted to taste Xiaoyu's rouge, but he didn't dare to make the first move.

[I'll hold off on taking the initiative until the time comes to confront them.]
Xu Qingfan shook his head, analyzing the current situation.

In his past life, he didn't realize that Xia Xiaoxiao liked him, but in this life, the girl practically had "I like you" written all over her face, so Xu Qingfan naturally knew her feelings.

[After the stolen kiss and the wall slam, I can confirm that Yi Yi and Xiao Yu also like me.]
"What's the deal with this Xiao Ruanwen?" Xu Qingfan blinked repeatedly in the darkness.

He wasn't really sure if Xiao Ruanwen liked him. If she did, she actually laughed during their last kiss.

But if you're not saying she doesn't like him, the girl only has him as a male friend, and she doesn't mind eating the food he's eaten, or putting her arm around his shoulder, or even kissing him.

[She can't be a lesbian, can she?]
Xu Qingfan shook his head frantically, trying to banish this strange thought from his mind.

Logically speaking, Xu Qingfan should be happy that Xiao Ruanwen doesn't like him, because then he wouldn't have to go through the cruel five-choice process, but only four choices.

Although it was still cruel, at least one less person was hurt.

But the girl showed no interest in him at all, which made Xu Qingfan resentful.

Basically, it's this kind of mentality: Am I that bad? Why don't they like me?
The next day.

At 6:30 in the morning, he reluctantly got out of bed after the alarm clock on his bedside table rang for the third time.

As soon as he lifted the covers, he felt a chill. Xu Qingfan drew back the curtains, and sure enough, the outside was overcast and drizzling.

He smiled knowingly, knowing that there was probably no military training today.

Licheng Middle School rarely engages in formalism. Military training is not required on rainy days, unlike some schools that require students to wear raincoats and get soaked in bad weather.

The leader stood under the eaves, holding a thermos, watching a group of thugs being reprimanded below.

"Brother Fan, your military training uniform." Wu Lingyu knocked on the door and came in carrying folded clothes.

"Thank you, Xiaoyu, good morning." Xu Qingfan stepped forward and reached out to take the clothes, which were still warm, as if they had just been taken out of the dryer.

"Good morning, Brother Fan. I'm going to make breakfast now, it'll be ready soon." Wu Lingyu blinked, gave him a sweet smile, and then jogged away.

"Brother Qingfan, let's brush our teeth together!" Not long after, Lin Wanning sneaked into his room again, holding his toothbrush in his hand and his own in his mouth.

"My new room doesn't even have a balcony, how are we supposed to brush our teeth together?" Xu Qingfan took the toothbrush and gave the girl a reproachful look.

"Hehe, right, I forgot!" Lin Wanning said cheerfully, pulling him out the door.

"Good morning, brother!"

"Haha, Fan-ge, you look quite handsome in your military uniform, don't you think so, Xiaoxiao?"

"It's... alright." Xia Xiaoxiao originally wanted to be stubborn and say the opposite, but when she saw it with her own eyes, her voice instantly weakened.

"Of course, the same clothes look like Adidas on me, but on other guys they'd just look like Adidas King at best." Xu Qingfan smugly shrugged his shoulders.

"Hahaha, Brother Fan, you're so shameless!"

"He's not always like this." Xia Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at him a few more times.

"Let's go, let's go downstairs and make breakfast for Xiaoyu."

Xu Qingfan was in a great mood, very glad that he hadn't made the stupid decision to choose the accommodation, otherwise the wonderful "good morning and good night" service from the beautiful girl would have been lost.

"Ok!"

After breakfast, before the rain started to get heavy, the six of them went back to school under their umbrellas.

When I returned to Class 16 of Grade 1, the classroom was already full of students.

Because everyone was wearing military training camouflage uniforms, the sense of dejection that had been building up for more than two months disappeared instantly, and everyone looked radiant and full of vigor.

"Good morning! It's raining!" As soon as the two sat down, Wang Xuan greeted them familiarly from behind.

"Good morning. Have you received the notice that you don't have to do military training?" Xiao Ruanwen secretly pinched Xu Qingfan and turned around to chat with the girl.

"Yes, we were supposed to assemble on the playground before 7 o'clock, but when we got there, the PE teacher said we should go back to our classrooms to assemble. We don't have to do military training because it's raining," Wang Xuan said with a look of surprise.

"Yay!" Upon receiving confirmation, Xiao Ruanwen immediately raised her fist with great enthusiasm.

"Watch your hand, you almost hit me." Xu Qingfan slapped her hand away and put the items in the drawer. To his surprise, he found a carton of milk and two steamed buns inside.

He took the items out; there was a sticky note stuck to the milk carton.

Xu Qingfan turned the box around to check: "It's inconvenient to buy breakfast on a rainy day, I'm afraid you'll go hungry." (><)
The handwriting is delicate; you can tell at a glance it's a girl's.

Xu Qingfan never eats food of unknown origin. He turned around and looked around. Apart from Wang Xuan nodding at him, no one else was looking in his direction.

Based on his understanding of Wang Xuan, he knew that the breakfast was definitely not bought by her.

[Keep it to feed the dogs after school.] Xu Qingfan shrugged helplessly.

Just as he was about to put the things back, Xiao Ruanwen picked up the bottle of milk: "It's inconvenient to buy breakfast on a rainy day, I was afraid you'd go hungry, oh~ and you're even smiling!"

"Alright, alright, they might be watching. Just put it back in the drawer." Xu Qingfan gave the sarcastic girl a hard slap on the back of the head.

"Hum~"

Xiao Ruanwen glared at him, took out a pen from her pencil case, and wrote a note on the empty space of a sticky note: We cook breakfast at home every day, so we won't go hungry.

┏(^ω^)=

After drawing a particularly irritating smiley face on it, the girl put her pen away, satisfied.

"Leave it here, don't put it back!" she said, placing the milk in the center of Xu Qingfan's table.

"Pfft~ whatever you say." Xu Qingfan was amused by her smiling emoji and shook his head.

Wang Xuan stared intently at the content above, and when she saw the cheeky smiling emoji, she couldn't help but react as well.

"Pfft, hahaha."

But she quickly realized what was happening, and her laughter stopped abruptly.

"You...you're living together?" She stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Xiao Ruanwen thought to herself, "You finally asked!" and replied with a grin, "Hehe, yes, me, Brother Fan, Xiaoyu, Xiaowanning, and Yiyi live in the neighborhood across the street."

"Uh... huh?"
