I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 403. Have the two children tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time?

After his usual teasing of the aunt (not really), and showering her with emotional support, Xu Qingfan quickly finished his breakfast.

He probably didn't fall asleep until almost 4 a.m. last night because of Xia Xiaoxiao's antics. It was only a little before 10 a.m., so Xu Qingfan put the dishes back in the kitchen and decided to go upstairs for a nap.

the other side.

After washing her hands, Xia Xiaoxiao placed the bottle of lubricant on her forehead and lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling.

Fearing that Xu Qingfan would come to her door and mock her, she had locked both the living room and bedroom doors from the inside. However, she seemed to be overthinking things. Almost half an hour had passed, and Xu Qingfan showed no sign of coming to her door, nor had he even sent her a single message on QQ.

Xia Xiaoxiao's brows gradually furrowed into a deep frown. She may have run away, but how could Xu Qingfan not contact her for so long?

"He wouldn't have gone out, would he?" Xia Xiaoxiao murmured, instantly becoming anxious.

How could he do this!

Ignoring any awkwardness, Xia Xiaoxiao casually tossed the lubricant onto the bedside table, put on her shoes, and headed to check on the next room.

[You're not allowed to go out in the mornings!]
"Tap tap tap~"

Xia Xiaoxiao walked hurriedly, her slippers making a crisp sound on the tiled floor.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxiao?" Lin Jing poked her head out from the kitchen and could tell from the smell that she was cooking donkey-hide gelatin.

"Mom, I'll go see what Xu Qingfan is doing." Because she had something to hide, she felt inexplicably guilty when facing Lin Jing.

Lin Jing smiled and said, "I stewed some donkey-hide gelatin. Remember to come back and drink it later. I'll fill a bowl for your Aunt Yao."

"Okay, Mom." Xia Xiaoxiao regained her composure, nodded, and left.

Watching her daughter's retreating figure, Lin Jing rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

[Xiaoxiao was acting strangely when she first came back, could it be...?]
Her gaze shifted to the half-open door of Xia Xiaoxiao's room, her pupils widening.

Considering her daughter's decision to stay overnight next door and the panic she felt when she saw her this morning, Lin Jing thought it was indeed possible.

[Could it be that the two children have already tasted the forbidden fruit?]
Lin Jing felt a little dizzy and lightheaded for a while, and it took her a while to regain her vision after leaning against the wooden door next to her.

This is probably the mindset of every parent who raises a daughter: their blood pressure will rise when they find out that their precious cabbage, which they have carefully nurtured for many years, has been eaten by a pig.

"Don't scare yourself, maybe it's just something that didn't happen," Lin Jing gently patted her chest and exhaled, a thought still lingering in her mind:
Thankfully, it's Xiao Fan.

[If it's Xiao Fan, aside from his age being inappropriate, there's nothing wrong with that, but I'm worried they might not know how to take precautions.]

Lin Jing started to worry again. If the two children really had a relationship, it wasn't that she couldn't accept it, but she was afraid that she might accidentally get pregnant, which would be a real problem!
Lin Jing had always been very respectful of her daughter's privacy, but today, she was determined to be a bad mother.

She looked at her daughter's open bedroom door and made up her mind.

"Mom is doing this all for your own good." Lin Jing walked into Xia Xiaoxiao's room and said the words that all parents in the world would say.

She knew her daughter had always kept a diary, and perhaps she could find some clues through the little diary.

But Lin Jing was clearly overthinking it. Not only was Xia Xiaoxiao's diary password-protected, but much of the content inside was also encrypted.

As I said before, who keeps a diary if they're a decent person?

Even though she was in her own home, Lin Jing felt like she was stealing a chicken or a dog. After locking the door from the inside, she sneaked up to the dressing table and opened the drawer where Xia Xiaoxiao usually kept her diary.

It contained a variety of miscellaneous items, including a crystal ball, small bells, and dried flower specimens.

If Xu Qingfan were here, he might recognize that these were all gifts he had given to the girl from childhood to adulthood. Some were casual gifts, while others were birthday presents, but Xia Xiaoxiao treasured them all and kept them here.

Lin Jing didn't touch anything inside, but took out the latest diary and sat down on the edge of the bed after taking two steps back.

"The password should be related to Xiao Fan."

With only a four-digit password, Lin Jing's first thought was Xu Qingfan's birthday. She entered '0629', but the locked diary remained unmoved.

Thinking of the little notes she usually confiscated, Lin Jing changed the password to '9260' again.

"Click."

This time, the diary was opened very easily.

Lin Jing's face lit up with joy, but she quickly became nervous again.

"2010.2.3
Today, Xu Qingfan accompanied me back to see my grandparents and that person. Six years have passed, and many things have changed.

If marriage requires me to live like that woman, then I'd rather not get married.

Without having dinner, Xu Qingfan took me home, back to our own home!

Lin Jing's heart clenched. She hadn't expected her daughter to think this way, but soon, the worry on her face was replaced by joy.

"2010.2.29
Xu Qingfan annoyed me again today. He said he'd treat me to fish because I love picking out bones!

"2010.3.10
Xu Qingfan is making me angry again. He said he finished reading the Classic of Mountains and Seas but didn't see me in it!

"2010.4.8
Xu Qingfan is a dog! When there was no toilet paper, I asked him to hand me some, and he handed me sandpaper!

"Pfft! Hahaha!" Originally, she was supposed to be looking for clues, but Lin Jing held her daughter's diary and read it like it was a collection of jokes.

After reading several more jokes, Lin Jing finally realized that it wasn't a diary entry. She slapped her face to calm herself down.

I can quickly skim over irrelevant content, which significantly speeds up my reading pace.

Soon, the diary entry from November 22 caught Lin Jing's attention.

"2010.11.22
What a strange feeling, I can hardly breathe! And Xu Qingfan is a dog, a stinky dog, a bad dog, a big stupid dog!

Lin Jing's hand holding the diary was trembling. What was this strange feeling? What was it like to not be able to breathe? It couldn't be from running, could it?
[November 22nd. It's Xiaoxiao's birthday. This silly daughter is treating herself like a birthday present?]
Lin Jing composed herself and quickly flipped to the next page, but unfortunately, the content thereafter turned back into a collection of jokes.

She quickly flipped back to the diary entry from her birthday and read it aloud word by word: "What a strange feeling, I can hardly breathe. And Xu Qingfan is a dog, a stinky dog, a bad dog, a big stupid dog."

"Hiss!" Lin Jing gasped. She felt like she had solved the case. Something must have happened between the two children!
"What should I do?" She frowned in worry.

When this happened, Lin Jing didn't dare to confide in Yao Jinping or ask Xia Xiaoxiao, because she was worried that if things weren't handled properly, everyone's relationship would be affected.

But Lin Jing was genuinely worried that the two children didn't know how to take safety precautions. Xia Xiaoxiao hadn't even turned sixteen yet, so what if something really happened to her?

"What should I do? What should I do?" She covered her face with the diary and then collapsed onto the bed.

[Since I can't find Xiaoxiao, I'll just go directly to Xiaofan. That kid needs an explanation!]
Lin Jing made up her mind. She felt that girls were shy, so it was better to talk to Xu Qingfan directly about this kind of thing.

She knew very well that boys at this age had very strong desires, but the most important thing was to take safety precautions. Before Xia Xiaoxiao graduated from high school, she was not ready to have a grandchild.

"We must talk to Xiaofan and make things clear. The children are still young and may not understand this kind of knowledge!"

Lin Jing closed her diary and got out of bed. Something reflected light and stung her eyes.

"Huh~ what's that?"

Lin Jing leaned over the headboard, picked up the reflective object from before, and then her pupils widened instantly. "Dudures lubricant?!"

Lin Jing stared in disbelief at the bottled solidified substance in front of her, and most importantly, there was only half a bottle left!
However, having already prepared herself mentally, Lin Jing was only shocked for a moment before quickly regaining her composure.

At the same time, she also felt a sense of relief.

After all, if they know how to use lubricant, they can't possibly not know how to take safety precautions!
"Kids these days are definitely different from us back then."

Lin Jing felt conflicted, but thankfully she knew that the person was Xu Qingfan, so it wasn't too hard for her to accept.

She had only guessed based on the contents of the diary, but now that half a bottle of lubricant had appeared, it was 100% confirmed.

After all, you can't just buy a bottle of lubricant to use as engine oil because your bicycle chain has run out of gas, right?
"I still need to talk to Xiaofan." After putting everything back in its place, Lin Jing took out her phone and took a picture of the lubricant as evidence before leaving the room.

“Crack.”

Xia Xiaoxiao withdrew her hand to look at the photos she had just taken. Xu Qingfan was lying on his side with his eyes closed, sleeping. She put her head on top of him and made a "V" sign.

"Hehe, this one looks good." Finally, she got a photo she was satisfied with. Xia Xiaoxiao lay on the bed processing all the photos she had taken in the past half hour.

"This one's not good, delete it. Delete this one too. Hmm!"

Xu Qingfan suddenly turned over in his sleep and pulled Xia Xiaoxiao into his arms.

"Xu Qingfan," she called softly, but received no response.

If that's the case, then Xia Xiaoxiao knows all too well what's going to happen next.

[They're definitely going to get physical again!]
Sure enough, the moment she had this thought, Xu Qingfan's hand, as if equipped with GPS, precisely covered her chest.

"Hmm~"

While Xia Xiaoxiao was still hesitating about whether to drive him away, the bad guy had already started to make unwanted advances.

Even if she wanted to stop it now, she was powerless to do so.

Xia Xiaoxiao closed her eyes like a quail.

[It's only a matter of ten minutes or so, just bear with it and it'll be over.]
[Hmph~ He's the one who told me not to leave, not that I didn't want to!]
Even now, she's still making excuses for herself.

A tug-of-war without an audience quickly began in the room, but the only one panting heavily from beginning to end was the girl.

Her eyes were alluring, but unfortunately, no one appreciated them.

Her long, slender legs, clad in yoga pants, were both tense and relaxed, as if engaged in a tug-of-war.

The frequency of the tension gradually increased, and the entire bed began to shake slightly.

Unfortunately, this is a sturdy new bed, lacking the creaking and swaying that it should have had before.

The large strings roared like a sudden rainstorm, while the small strings whispered like private words. Soon, only the rhythmic sound of breathing remained in the room.

A blushing girl, a sleeping boy, and someone's hand that refuses to leave.

Xia Xiaoxiao remained as easily satisfied as ever, and Xu Qingfan continued to work diligently as always.

The two were a match made in heaven; it was like Bo Ya finding Zi Qi, or Bole meeting a thoroughbred horse.

Xia Xiaoxiao remained in the same position for a long time, her damp hair sticking to her forehead.

She really felt that Xu Qingfan was doing it on purpose, otherwise why would he do it every time!

After catching her breath, she reached out and touched the bed sheet. Luckily, she was wearing yoga pants today, which were airtight and absorbent enough.

Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

noon.

Xu Qingfan woke up refreshed, while Xia Xiaoxiao, who had also woken up from a nap, seemed listless.

Lunch was prepared by Lin Jing and Yao Jinping as usual, and Xu Qingfan enjoyed the feeling of home for the first time in a long time.

We eventually went to high school, and the house was several times bigger, but we saw each other much less often.

Xu Qingfan felt completely at ease and ate with great relish, a stark contrast to Lin Jing and Xia Xiaoxiao.

The former was thinking about having a heart-to-heart talk with Xu Qingfan, while the latter was still wearing half-wet underwear and felt very uncomfortable.

"Didn't you sleep well last night, Xiaoxiao? You look so tired." Yao Jinping put a piece of fish belly into her bowl and asked with concern.

"Thank you, Auntie. I think I slept in too long during my nap, so I feel a little tired," Xia Xiaoxiao explained with a smile.

"Why is Auntie eating so little? You're so thin, you don't need to lose weight anymore, right?" Seeing this, Xu Qingfan added a piece of fish to Lin Jing's bowl.

Lin Jing's lips twitched, thinking to herself: It's all because of you!
"Thank you, Xiao Fan."

Xu Qingfan sensed something was off about the tone. It was saying thank you, Xiao Fan, but he felt like it was saying, "It's all Xiao Fan's fault."

"Hehe. If you get up too late, you can't eat too much for breakfast." Xu Qingfan replied with a smile, probably having misheard.

The meal went fairly well, and by the time we finished lunch, it was almost 1:30 p.m.

Xu Qingfan tidied himself up and prepared to go out to find Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi to play with, but just then, he suddenly received a message from Lin Jing on his phone.

Come over next door, I have something to ask you.

Xu Qingfan looked at the message again and again. It was the first time he had ever heard Lin Jing speak to him in a commanding tone.

"What does Auntie want?" Unable to figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it and replied with "okay." Just as he was about to leave, Lin Jing sent him another message.

【Don't let Xiaoxiao know, remember!】

Xu Qingfan blinked in confusion, countless guesses forming in his mind.

[Is Auntie planning to find a stepfather for Xiaoxiao?]
To verify whether his guess was correct, he avoided Xiaoxiao and eagerly ran next door to knock on the door.

Lin Jing, who had been waiting at the door, quickly opened it. After the two sat down, they spoke almost simultaneously.

Tell me about you and Xiaoxiao.

"Auntie, are you planning to find a stepfather for Xiaoxiao?"

The two stared at each other in astonishment, and the next second...

"What did you say?"

"What did you say?"
