I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 401. He can't be rewarded yet.
"Um!"

The two gasped almost simultaneously. Xia Xiaoxiao, who reacted first, quickly dropped the flashlight and covered Xu Qingfan's mouth with both hands.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xia Xiaoxiao choking him, and then covering his nose after being discovered.

[Danger!]
Instead of immediately resisting, Xu Qingfan's mind was filled with images of Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi.

[Could it be that my affair with Wan Ning has been exposed?]
Xu Qingfan felt like he was suffocating. He thought it was because Xia Xiaoxiao was covering him, but the truth was that he was holding his breath.

Fortunately, the blunder didn't last long; the free-falling flashlight hit Xia Xiaoxiao right on the head.

"Woo!"

The girl released her hand from Xu Qingfan's mouth and nose, and instead hugged her hair, sobbing.

Xu Qingfan seemed to have just remembered to breathe, as if he had just been pulled from the water, his chest heaving violently.

The girl straddled the boy's lap, and the boy breathed heavily.

Fortunately, no one else witnessed this scene, otherwise, they would have been in deep trouble and unable to clear their name.

The flashlight fell onto the bed and then slowly rolled to the floor with a dull thud.

Xu Qingfan gradually came to his senses, and Xia Xiaoxiao's injury no longer hurt so much. The two looked at each other and stared at each other for a moment.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Qingfan asked hesitantly, still a little apprehensive.

"Uh..." Xia Xiaoxiao's mouth opened slightly, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.

"You want to kill me?" Xu Qingfan's tone remained weak, but his body was already tense. He would launch a fierce counterattack if Xia Xiaoxiao made the slightest move.

"???"

Three big question marks appeared above Xia Xiaoxiao's head, but she quickly realized why Xu Qingfan had misunderstood. First, he choked her neck, then he covered her mouth, as if he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Who are you going to use the BY condom with?" Unable to explain, she simply chose to accuse the villain first.

Xia Xiaoxiao's face was frosty, but the slight embarrassment she felt vanished the moment she thought of it.

"what?"

Xu Qingfan had expected Xia Xiaoxiao to explain to him, saying that it was just a joke or something, but what the heck was BY set?

"What are you talking about?" He even began to doubt if he was dreaming, perhaps in the second layer of Inception.

"Convenience store, BY condom, who is the girl you're holding hands with!" Xia Xiaoxiao stopped hiding her true intentions; sincerity is always the best weapon, and she went straight for the point.

Xu Qingfan was even more confused. Every word Xia Xiaoxiao wrote was in Chinese, so why couldn't he understand it when they were put together?

"What convenience store? What BY condom? Xia Xiaoxiao, are you dreaming or something?" He observed the girl for a while in the dim light, and only after confirming that there was no weapon around her did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Qingfan felt that this scene was so familiar. Was his senior, Cheng, also straddled by the world in the same way?

Xia Xiaoxiao's emotions gradually calmed down because she noticed that the stinky dog's face showed fear and confusion, but no guilty conscience.

"In the afternoon, we went to the convenience store to buy something. Why did the clerk tell me that you brought a girl here to buy condoms last time?!"

She expected Xu Qingfan to give a reasonable explanation, so she stopped hiding it.

"What?" Xu Qingfan's eyes widened. He really couldn't understand why that jerk of a shop would slander him when they had no grudge against each other.

"Slander! Defamation! This is blatant slander!!" He slammed his hand on the bed, furious.

Xia Xiaoxiao was already 90% convinced. She wasn't the kind of unreasonable fairy who would argue unreasonably. Naturally, she was more willing to believe Xu Qingfan's words than those of a stranger.

"So you didn't buy...you didn't buy that, and you didn't...you didn't have that either, right?" Her eyes lit up; she suddenly seemed shy.

Seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao's tone had softened, Xu Qingfan finally felt relieved. He exerted a little force with his knee, and the girl fell down unexpectedly.

"Ah~"

After a gasp, Xia Xiaoxiao realized she was being hugged by the smelly dog.

"I don't know what you're talking about. You should explain why you just choked me." Xu Qingfan bit the girl's nose with his teeth and stared at her fiercely.

Xia Xiaoxiao was ultimately just a little lamb; she instantly cowered after being hugged by Xu Qingfan like that.

“I…I’m looking for your phone. It’s under your neck.” She turned her head, bringing her ear close to Xu Qingfan’s nose.

"Ah~"

As a result, when Xu Qingfan blew on her gently, she trembled uncontrollably.

"If you look for my phone, you'll choke me? You're kidding me, Xia Xiaoxiao, do you want to kill me?"

Xu Qingfan knew the girl was sensitive, so he deliberately spoke close to her ear, causing Xia Xiaoxiao's body to move uncontrollably.

"I...I just wanted to play a prank, I really just wanted to grab the phone." Xia Xiaoxiao shrank her neck, but the itchy feeling didn't go away.

"Ah~"

As a result, Xu Qingfan actually bit off half of her ear and started gnawing on it like he was eating a pig's ear.

"No, Xu Qingfan, I know I was wrong, oh no." The girl, transformed into a little lamb, lost her usual arrogance, and even her voice was sweet and gentle.

"Explain yourself first, what's with that 'condom' thing? Don't make it sound like I'm bullying you." If his hand hadn't slipped inside the girl's pajamas at that moment, this statement would have been quite believable.

[They're clearly bullying me right now!]
"Yeah, it's like when you went to buy water, the clerk told me that you were holding a girl's hand when you came to buy that last time."

Xia Xiaoxiao managed to finish her sentence with difficulty.

"She really said that? That I held a girl's hand while buying condoms?"

Xu Qingfan still couldn't quite believe it. If that were really the case, then he could only say that the other party had already chosen a way to die. In this small corner of Hong Kong, how could anyone dare to slander him?

"Hmm!" Xia Xiaoxiao nodded at first, but then quickly shook her head after remembering something. "It doesn't seem like she was pointing at the one on the shelf and saying to me that you're not a good person!"

The girl emphasized the last sentence, suggesting a hint of personal grudge.

[It was never a good thing to begin with, it's rotten!]
"Snapped!"

"I think you're making veiled accusations, you deserve to be taught a lesson, don't you?" "Waaah~ that's exactly what I meant!" Xia Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay calm.

"Slap!" He slapped his hand again, gradually figuring out the cause and effect of the matter.

[It's probably because of that idiot who misunderstood me last time I bought lubricant with Wan Ning.]
But looking at the well-behaved Xia Xiaoxiao in front of him, he felt like he wasn't at a loss.

"Besides that thing, is there bottled lubricant for sale next door where she's pointing?"

"what?"

Xia Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then quickly replied uncertainly, "It seems so."

"Bang! What do you mean 'seems like'? It is! I bought this thing last time!"

Xia Xiaoxiao stared blankly with her mouth agape, a pang of guilt rising in her heart, but it quickly vanished.

[How could he have the nerve to say that? Is there any difference between buying this and buying that?]
The girl angrily tried to get up, but Xu Qingfan slapped her on the butt again.

"You're still hitting me!"

"Don't worry, let me explain." He knew Xia Xiaoxiao must have misunderstood, so he quickly rubbed the spot where she had just been hit to comfort her. Anyway, she wasn't going to suffer any loss.

"Speak!" The angry girl ignored all of that.

"Here's what happened: at the housewarming party, didn't Ning run out crying?"

"It really was her!" Xia Xiaoxiao was furious.

"Slap! Can't you let me finish speaking first!" Xu Qingfan was speechless.

"Say!"

"She hadn't changed out of her slippers when she ran out, and she ran so fast that her slippers got stuck in her ankle. She couldn't get them out by hand, so I went to the convenience store and bought some lubricant. It was that simple!"

Fearing that Xia Xiaoxiao would continue to be so dramatic, Xu Qingfan quickly explained the situation in the most concise way possible.

"That's it?" After hearing the whole story, the girl was speechless for a long time.

"What else are you thinking, doing something weird with lubricant?" Xu Qingfan gently nudged her with his head.

"Ah~ it hurts!"

After hearing the explanation, Xia Xiaoxiao instantly calmed down and let Xu Qingfan hug her like an obedient child.

"Hmph~ You're just thinking nonsense. You came over in the middle of the night and tried to choke me. I think you just want to kill me!" Xu Qingfan wasn't going to let her get away with it and slapped her again.

"I'm sorry~" Xia Xiaoxiao said in a rare shy tone, her voice sweet and coquettish.

"Humph!"

Xu Qingfan continued to pretend to be angry, but in reality, he had already calmed down. The contrast of his coquettish behavior was irresistible to anyone.

"Xu Qingfan, I know I was wrong." Having apologized before, Xia Xiaoxiao was much more familiar with him this time, bowing her head.

She cupped the boy's face in her hands and spoke with sincere eyes.

Xu Qingfan really couldn't stand that kind of gaze. His hands, which had been moving around, stopped fidgeting and he shyly turned his head away.

"I forgive you," he said softly.

"Then can you take your hand out now?" Xia Xiaoxiao felt she had regained control and was very pleased with herself.

Now that he'd been exposed, he was naturally too embarrassed to keep it.

Xu Qingfan obediently withdrew his hand and laid it flat on the bed.

"Then we're even. I misunderstood you, and you hit me too. We're even!" Xia Xiaoxiao turned his head back and continued speaking seriously.

The fleeting blush on her face made Xu Qingfan's Adam's apple bob.

"If it's even, then it's even."

"Xu Qingfan".

"what."

"Xu Qingfan".

"Ah."

In the dimly lit room, in an intimate position, the two people's breathing gradually became heavy.

"Xu Qingfan, have you finished using that slipper you bought?"

"What do you want to do?" Xu Qingfan asked in surprise.

"I was just asking out of curiosity," Xia Xiaoxiao replied.

"Not yet, it's hidden in the bottom drawer." He felt a faint sense of anticipation.

"Oh, I'm going back to sleep!"

Xia Xiaoxiao forced herself to calm down, quickly got off him, put on her shoes, and staggered out of the room.

[That won't do; at least a university education is required!]
After running back to her room, Xia Xiaoxiao looked down at her fair feet and blushed with embarrassment at the thought that had just flashed through her mind.

[I actually just thought about using my feet.]
Xia Xiaoxiao shook her head violently, banishing this terrible thought from her mind.

Kissing is fine, hugging is fine, and even spanking is barely acceptable.

But take it a step further, Dame!

[He should at least be an adult. At worst, I'll reward him on the rooftop tomorrow.]
After figuring it out, Xia Xiaoxiao went straight to sleep.

However, that night was particularly difficult for that scoundrel.
