I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 381. What a coincidence!

After the club war ended, the next few days passed quite peacefully.

Several girls found their lunch buddies in high school. Apart from Xiao Ruanwen and Xia Xiaoxiao, who often ate with him, they could only meet each other at noon and after school unless they deliberately bumped into each other.

During the day, I attend classes diligently, go home to sleep at noon, spend the two afternoon classes daydreaming, and play soccer or go for a run with my classmates in the evening. After finishing the three evening self-study sessions, I go home with five beautiful high school girls. Life is leisurely and carefree.

Of course, Xu Qingfan doesn't always have someone with him when he eats. For example, today, Xiao Ruanwen and Xia Xiaoxiao are going to participate in a yoga club activity, so he has to eat dinner alone.

"Fan-ge is leaving now. When I become the club president someday, I'll invite you to come watch us do yoga!" Xiao Ruanwen patted Xu Qingfan's head, and as soon as the school bell rang, she pulled Wang Xuan and Chen Qi away first.

Male students are not allowed to visit the yoga club, but if that day ever comes, Xu Qingfan would still be willing to accept the invitation.

"What about you guys, playing ball or eating?" He looked at Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong. Since he didn't have any pretty girls to eat with, he could reluctantly go out to eat with these two idiots.

"There won't be any courts left if I go to reserve a spot now. I'm not hungry yet, I want to go back and take a shower first," Lai Chenglang said after a moment's hesitation, as if he was thinking.

“Then I’ll go back to the dorm to take a shower too, Fan-ge, what about you?” Wu Shichong said.

"Then I'll go run a couple of laps around the track. Bye-bye." Xu Qingfan closed his pen and got up to leave.

"By the way, Fan-ge, which cafeteria are you going to eat at later? We might be able to come find you after we finish showering."

"Yes, yes, we can shower quickly, we'll come find you then!"

Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang exchanged glances and revealed lewd smiles, clearly not up to any good.

However, Xu Qingfan didn't think much of it: "The second canteen, I'm craving saury."

"Okay, okay, then goodbye, Brother Fan!"

"The taste of Pacific saury~"

The two dogs walked away together, grinning mischievously.

Xu Qingfan shook his head. In the short time that had been wasted, most of the students had already left the classroom, with only two or three students still studying diligently in their seats.

He still can't remember the names of these people. They were average in grades, plain in appearance, and had no special talents. Such people are actually the most common in society, but they are also the ones who are forgotten the fastest.

The school's love songs started playing over the loudspeaker. As Xu Qingfan listened to Jay Chou's "Seven Mile Fragrance," the melody of "Waiting for You After Class" inexplicably popped into his head.

The song, released in 18, hit her with an emo moment right from the very first line, when she was at the lowest point in her life.

"Why didn't I study harder during my three years of high school? Why didn't I get into the same university as you?" Xu Qingfan muttered to himself, lamenting how quickly time had passed.

He suddenly longed to hear this song again in high school, a song that should have been played during his college years.

[I'll write it down when I have time, and have Ruan Wen sing it.]
Having made up his mind, Xu Qingfan stopped hesitating and leisurely strolled to the school playground.

Perhaps because tomorrow is Friday, the day we go home for the holidays, there were an unusually large number of students taking a walk on the sports field this evening.

After he finished warming up, he started running laps on the playground at a steady pace.

Not long after he started running, Xu Qingfan heard a panting sound following him from behind. Although the breathing was getting more and more rapid, the person showed no intention of stopping.

He thought he was being used as a target to follow, so that when he ran, he only needed to think about keeping up with the target in front of him and wouldn't feel tired.

He ran for ten laps, and the voice persisted. Although he didn't turn around to see who it was, Xu Qingfan was already beginning to admire his perseverance.

After easily completing the four kilometers, he gradually slowed down.

"what!"

As a result, the person behind him didn't react in time and kept going, so they bumped straight into his back.

Xu Qingfan staggered a few steps, but fortunately the chassis was solid enough that he didn't fall.

After regaining his balance, he turned around and found a young girl who had fallen to the ground on her bottom. It was someone he knew.

"Hello~ junior, we meet again." Chen Mengmeng waved and greeted him breathlessly, ignoring the pain in her buttocks.

Xu Qingfan's lips trembled, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should leave or stay.

Anyway, he had a clear conscience, so after thinking about it, he still reached out his hand.

"So careless."

"Hehe, thank you, junior." Chen Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and she immediately offered her hand.

"You're welcome, bye-bye senior, I'm going to eat." Xu Qingfan quickly withdrew his hand. He didn't want to have too much interaction with the girl in front of him, so he immediately said goodbye.

Instead of saying something like, "What a coincidence, I'm going to eat too," Chen Mengmeng waved goodbye to him and said, "Bye-bye, junior. I need to do some stretching, otherwise my legs won't feel like my own the next day."

She pointed to the horizontal bar not far away and playfully stuck her tongue out at Xu Qingfan.

It was just a minor incident. Xu Qingfan simply nodded to indicate that he understood and then quickly left.

Chen Mengmeng made a face at his departing back: "Don't think you can get away!"

Xu Qingfan took out his phone, intending to report what happened on the playground to the five girls, but he deleted it halfway through typing.

[There was nothing wrong to begin with, why would I report it? It would only make things worse.]
He quickly arrived at the second canteen. After looking around the lobby on the first floor and not finding the five girls, he shrugged and went to the window to get his food. He held up three fingers, meaning he wanted three ounces of rice, and then pointed to lettuce, saury, and braised eggplant. The auntie, whose hands didn't shake but whose math wasn't very good, quickly served him his food.

When it came time to pay with the card, Xu Qingfan glanced at the number on the screen, but neither he nor his aunt touched it.

A moment later, the aunt changed the price from 8.6 to 6.6 yuan, and Xu Qingfan then swiped his card to pay.

"Let's buy a calculator, Auntie." Xu Qingfan took the tray speechlessly.

The cafeteria lady hesitated several times before finally saying, "I've planned this all out, I'll remember you, kid!" after Xu Qingfan turned around.

When they went up to the second floor of the cafeteria, the five girls were still nowhere to be seen, and Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong, the two sluts, were also nowhere to be seen.

Xu Qingfan found a corner by the window and sat down, watching two sparrows fighting in the tree as he ate.

He had only been eating for a short while when he suddenly realized that the light in front of him was being blocked.

Looking up, he saw Chen Mengmeng standing in front of him, holding a plate of food she had prepared.

"Hey junior, what a coincidence, we've run into each other again!"

Xu Qingfan was speechless. He finally understood why Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong had been asking so many questions in class earlier. They were acting as little spies, tipping off each other.

"Haha, it's quite a coincidence." He waved his hand awkwardly and could only nod.

Fortunately, Chen Mengmeng didn't sit opposite him as if they were old friends. Instead, she sat diagonally across from him, leaving a seat between them. This way, other people wouldn't think they were together, but it didn't prevent them from chatting.

"I'm really sorry about what happened that day, junior. I've wanted to apologize to you for a long time, but our classes are too far apart. I came to find you several times during evening self-study, but you weren't there."

As soon as Chen Mengmeng sat down, she apologized profusely and pointed out that she had come to see him several times already.

"It's okay, it's not your fault, senior. I already know about Du Haitao's situation, and I believe the school won't allow him to act recklessly."

Xu Qingfan continued eating with his head down. He had already made up his mind to beat up those two idiots, Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong, when he got back later.

"If you weren't a junior, you might not know, but Du Haitao's parents are both teachers at the school. Many teachers will give him face because of his parents. He really might be someone who does what he says!"

Chen Mengmeng was afraid he wouldn't take it to heart, so she spoke emotionally.

“Even if his parents are the director of the Education Bureau, I believe the school wouldn’t allow him to act recklessly.” Xu Qingfan continued to be dismissive, and he certainly had the right to be dismissive.

"But."

Seeing that the girl wanted to say more, Xu Qingfan interrupted her by pressing her hand down, saying, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for the reminder, senior. Let's eat, or it will get cold."

"Okay." Seeing that the conversation was going nowhere, after a moment of silence, Chen Mengmeng continued to ask, "Hey junior, do you want to join the magic club? Tomorrow is the last day to register. The magic club is a lot of fun. Du Haitao is a senior this year and he's not the club president anymore."

As if to attract Xu Qingfan's attention, she took out a coin from her pocket, like a phantom thief, the glittering coin rolling back and forth between her fingers.

I must say, he's really handsome.

But soon.

"This, this, this"

Chen Mengmeng was stunned when she saw Xu Qingfan take out three one-yuan coins from his wallet and start performing right in front of her.

The coins she just took out were specially used for performances, while Xu Qingfan was now using the most ordinary one-yuan coins, three of them!

"It's not that difficult," Xu Qingfan said, withdrawing his hand after showing off and calmly continuing to eat with his head down.

[As expected of the man I've set my sights on, I like him even more now!]
After a long silence, Chen Mengmeng launched her third offensive: "Hey junior, let's add each other on QQ. I'm a pretty good student, so if you have any questions about math or science, you can ask me."

Xu Qingfan blinked first, and then looked up with a look of astonishment.

"W-What's wrong?" Chen Mengmeng became nervous when she saw her junior looking at her like that.

Didn't Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang tell you my entrance exam scores?

"Huh? No, no, no, I...I..." The girl, realizing she had let something slip, stammered for a while before falling silent.

Seeing that the other person had finally stopped talking, Xu Qingfan thought to himself that he could finally eat in peace.

however.

"Hey? Isn't that Brother Qingfan?"

"It's my brother!"

"Wow, what a coincidence! I ran into everyone and even Brother Fan!"

"Brother Qingfan!"

"Brother Fan!"

Xu Qingfan's heart skipped a beat, and a strange feeling of being caught cheating by his wife inexplicably arose within him.

He slowly turned around and saw five girls walking towards him with malicious expressions.

[Danger!]
