I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 399. Making You a Big Star
After dinner, it was getting dark.

Because it was an unexpected encounter, I didn't invite Wu Lingyu along.

However, on the way back to the teaching building, Xu Qingfan bought an extra popsicle for Xiaoyu.

As the sunset turned from orange to red, six people stood in the passageway connecting the first-year and second-year high school buildings, eating popsicles.

"So much homework in high school! I can't finish it all, I just can't finish it all!" Lin Wanning leaned on the railing, tapping the metal bars with the stick he had used to eat ice cream.

“That’s right! Chinese, math, English, biology, geography, history, politics, physics, chemistry—every subject has workbooks and exam papers. When will this ever end?” Xiao Ruanwen sympathized and hugged Wan Ning from behind for comfort.

"That's how high school is. After the division into arts and sciences in the second year, you can study three fewer subjects, but the amount of homework is still about the same." Xu Qingfan smiled, he thought it was fine.

He writes math in Chinese class, physics in math class, and English in physics class—basically, he doesn't pay attention in class.

Wu Lingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, because she remembered that Fan Ge had promised her that they would be in the same class in the second year of high school!

"You can listen to the teacher's lecture while doing your homework, so you don't have to do so much during evening self-study." Wu Lingyu shared her experience with everyone.

"But with math, if I don't listen for a while, I lose track of where the teacher left off."

"Yes!"

Seeing Xiao Ruanwen and Lin Wanning turn to look at her at the same time, Wu Lingyu shook her head and smiled, "It's not math, it's geography or history. You can listen to the teacher, take notes, and fill in the answers in the workbook. That's fine."

"Oh, oh, oh, I thought Xiaoyu meant someone like Fan Ge, who doesn't listen in class at all and just does his homework." Xiao Ruanwen nodded vigorously.

"Then I'll give it a try tomorrow," Lin Wanning said, winking at Xu Qingfan.

"Xiaoyu's method is quite good. This way, she won't get distracted in class. I've noticed that Ruanwen often finds herself on page 28 of her book while the teacher is already on page 38."

After the girl exposed his shortcomings, he returned the favor by exposing his own shortcomings as well.

"You, you, I never did that!" Xiao Ruanwen got off Lin Wanning and pointed at him angrily.

"Then it's fine to do it only occasionally."

Xiao Ruanwen thought for a moment, then still flew into a rage and said, "It wasn't just a coincidence!"

"No matter what, it will happen!"

"no!"

"Have!"

"Aaaaaah, you stinky Fan-ge, I'm going to fight you to the death!!"

"I'm afraid of you!"

The two girls used their empty popsicle sticks as weapons to duel, while the audience consisted of four girls and countless classmates who were secretly watching.

"Go, Qingfan!"

"Go Ruan Wen!"

"Brother, come on!"

The shouts of the group made the duel both comical and somewhat formal. In the end, Xu Qingfan proved to be the better player and successfully poked the school badge on the girl's uniform.

"You little brat." Xu Qingfan smugly sheathed his sword and put the wooden stick he had just used in the competition back into his mouth.

"Hmph!" Xiao Ruanwen bared her teeth and stood back beside Xia Xiaoxiao, a blush spreading across her face.

Because Xu Qingfan had just attacked her sensitive area, she was still feeling strange all over.

"You call others elementary school students? I think you're the one who looks like one the most like one." Xia Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at the always unserious, smelly dog.

Xu Qingfan raised his finger, giving her a "I'll teach you a lesson later" look, and Xia Xiaoxiao raised her head in equal defiance.

"Why is Yi Yi looking at her phone all the time?" Xu Qingfan leaned closer and saw that the girl was looking at messages in the class group chat. "They're asking where they can listen to the song Ruan Wen sang this afternoon. I told them it's a new song and hasn't been released yet." Seeing everyone craning their necks over, Zhang Yi Yi handed them her phone.

"Hehe~ Ruan Wen is going to become famous. The radio station group was discussing it just now." Lin Wanning also opened her phone to show everyone.

"You're probably going to become famous. Before, people only knew your voice on Weibo, but it won't be long before your photos appear, and then you'll have a bunch of crazy fans coming to beg for your attention." Xu Qingfan chuckled and patted Xiao Ruanwen's head.

"Oh, should I set my Weibo account to disable comments?" Xiao Ruanwen was a little flustered. It would be troublesome if those annoying sasaeng fans appeared at school.

"Now you're scared? Do you still want to be a big star?"

"I'm afraid of affecting everyone." This was indeed Xiao Ruanwen's main concern.

"Don't be nervous, it won't get to that point, unless you become as popular as Cyndi Wang someday."

"It's all because you scared me!" Xiao Ruanwen glared at him with a slightly aggrieved expression.

"It should be alright. Just like when we drew comics in elementary school, no one stared at us like we were giant pandas," Lin Wanning comforted her.

"That's right, it was all because of that stinky Fan-ge who scared me!"

However, Hsiao Ruan-wen thought about it seriously: [If I could really become as popular as Cyndi Wang, maybe my dad wouldn't object to me singing?]
"The big star's gone, time to go back to evening self-study." Seeing Xiao Ruanwen still standing there in a daze, Xu Qingfan tapped her head to remind her.

"Hmph~ When I become a big star, the first thing I'll do is write a long essay about you!"

"You dare to dream. Even if you become a big star, you'll still be my kept woman. I'm already being lenient by not taking advantage of you, and you still dare to write a long essay about me?"

"I'll write it then!"

"Then I think you're courting death." Xu Qingfan tapped her head, but his mind was elsewhere.

[I think "The Voice of China" aired in 12. It wouldn't be unreasonable for them to sponsor it with a food delivery service like Haowei Takeout, and pre-select a minor champion, right?]
"Look at him, he's not saying a word, he's definitely thinking about the unspoken rules!"

"If you dare to say it today, you'll dare to put it into action tomorrow!"

"I think Fan Ge (Fan Ge) has ulterior motives for starting a music company!"

Xu Qingfan was thinking about something, but his shoulder kept being pushed, making it hard for him not to snap out of it.

"You, Xiao Ruanwen, I was just thinking about how to make you a big star, and you betray me to my face!"

"Hehe~ You can't believe a single punctuation mark from Brother Fan!" Despite saying that, after hiding behind Xia Xiaoxiao, she still asked weakly, "What plan?"

"What plan? Tell your dad you've gotten hooked on this harmful thing called singing, and he'll break your legs!"

"Little one, look at him!"

Xia Xiaoxiao shrugged. She had already seen it, but she said there was nothing she could do about it.

"Speak your mind, don't act like a primary school student all day." However, as the number one member of the Little Party, Ruan Wen still had to say a few words.

"Blue Collar TV recently launched a singing competition program, similar to Hunan TV's Super Girl. I plan to have Aunt Zhang invest some advertising fees, becoming a big sponsor. I've already decided that Ruan Wen will at least easily make it to the finals, if not win the championship." He explained his plan in detail.

"what?"

"Interested? I'll be your biggest sugar daddy then, so you won't have to worry about any unspoken rules." Seeing her dazed look, Xu Qingfan raised his head and said.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Ruanwen jumped up in front of him with surprise, shaking her shoulders as she said, "But there's no need for pre-arranged results, just a normal competition!"

"Ugh~ My neck is a little sore for some reason, and my feet feel like they don't even belong to me."

"Brother Fan, how did you know I'm the best at massage? I'll give you a massage during evening self-study later!"

Everyone was used to the girl's quick change of expression, but they still couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha"
