I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 407. Going to the Rooftop

After Xu Qingfan left, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi collapsed onto the floor in their home, leaving only the two of them.

"Phew~ Brother Qingfan is so naughty." Lin Wanning leaned lazily against the wall, listlessly stroking the dog's head.

Zhang Yi leaned his head on the girl's shoulder, still squinting as he savored the afterglow of their encounter.

"My brother is bad."

"Hehehe," the two of them put their heads together and started laughing at the same time.

"Yi-yi, do you...do you have that feeling?" Lin Wanning suddenly asked shyly.

"Ok?"

Zhang Yiyi didn't understand at first, but when he saw the shy expression on her face, he instantly understood everything.

"Mmm." She nodded shyly as well. "Brother is so naughty!"

Thinking of those last few times when Xu Qingfan seemed to want to devour her, Lin Wanning wrinkled her nose and nodded in agreement.

"Brother Qingfan is the worst!"

Remembering the girl's usual catchphrase, Zhang Yiyi suddenly couldn't help but chuckle: "Hehehe."

"Yi-Yi, what are you laughing at?"

"Brother Qingfan is the best, Brother Qingfan is the worst, hahaha." Zhang Yiyi whispered in her ear.

"Aww—you're not allowed to laugh!" Lin Wanning was embarrassed and instantly looked angry.

┗|｀O′|┛Aww~~
"Hahaha!" Zhang Yi burst into laughter.

"Yi-Yi is the worst!"

"Wan Ning is the best, hahaha!"

"Don't laugh!"

"."

The two were playfully fighting, and Little White would flap its front paws along to the background music.

After a long while, once they had recovered, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi ran up to the third floor to take a bath.

"Phew~ That feels so good." Lin Wanning was lying on the edge of the bathtub with a little yellow duck on her head.

Zhang Yiyi's eyes were fixed on the two pairs of underwear soaking in the water, which were the ones they had just changed out of.

The scene from last week flashed through her mind, and the thought that she wouldn't have to wash the sheets today brought a smile to her face.

"Wanning."

"Hmm?" Lin Wanning tilted his head to look at her, and the little yellow duck fell back into the bathtub after losing its support.

A blush rose to Zhang Yiyi's face, and she lowered her head and asked, "Um...did you help your brother with that?"

"What duck?" Lin Wanning blinked blankly.

But soon, her face also flushed red, because Zhang Yiyi was moving her left and right hands slowly.

"No, no," she said shyly.

"Me neither."

Lin Wanning's mind went blank for a few seconds: "Hmm."

"Ah."

The two lay on the edge of the bathtub, lost in thought, and the bathroom fell silent for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yiyi spoke again: "I saw Qiandu say that holding it in for too long is not good, but Qiandu also said that holding it in too often is not good."

"I don't understand." Lin Wanning shook his head vigorously.

If Xu Qingfan hadn't been holding her hand last time, Lin Wanning would never have dared to do it.

"It should be fine," Zhang Yiyi reassured herself.

"It's alright," Lin Wanning echoed her words.

"Mm." Zhang Yi nodded.

“Yes!” Lin Wanning nodded as well.

Clearly, the two of them, having just finished their intimate encounter, were both a bit overwhelmed with their own thoughts.

So it's no wonder people are so love-struck; when they're around someone they like, just looking at them takes all their energy, and they really don't have the energy to think anymore.

As the bathwater slowly cooled, Zhang Yiyi's intelligence returned to its peak. She analyzed, "The fact that my brother didn't refuse or resist just now at least proves one thing!"

"What?" Lin Wanning pricked up his ears to listen to the strategist's lecture.

"That means my brother is greedy; he wants to be with all of us at the same time, but he's afraid we'll find out!"

Lin Wanning's eyes lit up: "That's right, Brother Qingfan likes Wanning and Yiyi!"

"But he might also like Xiaoxiao, Xiaoyu, Ruanwen, and that senior!" Zhang Yiyi patted the girl's head, pouring cold water on her feelings.

"How could Brother Qingfan do this!" Lin Wanning pouted in a moment of grievance.

"Because my brother is a greedy devil, so our next plan is to do this," she whispered in the girl's ear.

Lin Wanning's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened, until finally...

"Brother Qingfan will definitely be ours!"

"Our brother is ours!"

the other side.

After returning to Donghui City, Xu Qingfan did not go upstairs immediately.

He strolled around the square next door for a while, and only went home after his anger had subsided.

It's okay to hold back occasionally when you're young. After all, you're not made of iron, and you won't be as indestructible as some unreliable novels describe.

"I'm back!"

When she got home, she smelled the aroma of food as soon as she opened the door. Xia Xiaoxiao was sitting in the living room playing on her phone. Through the kitchen glass, she could see Lin Jing and Yao Jinping busy inside.

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at him indifferently: "You still know how to come back."

Xu Qingfan naturally couldn't answer that; he couldn't very well say that he had wandered around downstairs for a while before coming up.

"Xiao Fan's back! Wash your hands and we're about to eat." Lin Jing came out carrying a bowl of stewed, flavorful soup, having completely forgotten about what happened at noon.

“Okay!” Xu Qingfan replied with a smile.

"Hmph~" Xia Xiaoxiao glared at him, then got up to help.

Not long after, Xu Aiguo from the Air Force also returned home, and the two families watched TV and ate dinner together.

"I'm sure you've all noticed that there's a group of people wearing red clothes traveling through the city's streets and alleys. They're not firefighters, sanitation workers, or deliverymen. They're a new group—food delivery riders!"

At 7 p.m. sharp, Pearl River Channel will broadcast the perfect show for watching while eating, "DV Live".

"Why is this scholarship considered to have special significance? Let's hear what our frontline reporters have to say."

The scene in the TV series quickly shifts to the entrance of Licheng Middle School.

“Hey~ Isn’t this your high school?” Everyone recognized it, and Yao Jinping was the first to speak up.

"That's a great idea! Directly depositing the money into the student meal cards will prevent any missed or incorrect payments," Lin Jing praised after hearing the host's explanation.

Xu Qingfan silently ate his rice, keeping his identity and name hidden.

Xia Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at him, thinking to herself: [Xu Gouzi is actually quite reliable when he needs to be!]
"I think this is great; it can help those who really need it."

"I heard from Principal Song that it was an idea from a first-year high school student. Although I don't know who it is, I think that the person who came up with this idea must be gentle to the core."

"Licheng Middle School is awesome!" After randomly interviewing three students and then having Song Dongsheng spout some high-sounding nonsense, the news segment came to an end.

"It's a pity we didn't get to interview you?" Yao Jinping said with regret.

"Isn't Haowei Takeout a company owned by Yi Yi's mom? Didn't they just say they donated 100 Hope Primary Schools last time? Why are they donating money again?" Lin Jing asked out of pure curiosity.

[Why else? Because I'll be taking more time off in the future.] Xu Qingfan thought to himself.

"This is also a form of advertising, isn't it? You saw the host just introducing our company, so it's like we spent a million to buy exposure," he explained.

"Can this make money? I'd say Sister Zhang's company is going to lose money, right?" Yao Jinping didn't notice Xu Qingfan's slip of the tongue and started calculating on her fingers:
"New users get their first order free, which must cost a lot of money. There are also the labor costs for delivery drivers. I really don't understand how merchants can make money by offering free listings."

Yao Jinping clearly doesn't understand the principle that what's free is the most expensive.

Xu Qingfan was too lazy to explain. He said, "It's understandable if you don't understand. That's why you can only run a small convenience store, while Aunt Zhang can run a big company."

"You brat." Yao Jinping glared at him, annoyed, but quickly burst out laughing herself.

"Hahaha!" Xu Qingfan's joke made everyone burst into laughter.

The conversation quickly returned to the topic of scholarships, and everyone enjoyed their dinner.

By the time we finished clearing the table, it was already 8 p.m.

Xia Xiaoxiao gave him a look and left, and Xu Qingfan followed her out without hesitation.

Even though it was past evening, Xia Xiaoxiao clearly still wanted to go up to the rooftop.

Their new home has 28 floors, and while waiting for the elevator, both of them started to get nervous.

"Hey." Xia Xiaoxiao nudged him with her elbow.

"What?" Xu Qingfan asked, turning his head.

Xia Xiaoxiao hadn't really thought about what to say. She just felt nervous if she didn't talk, so she casually started a conversation: "How does that delicious takeout service make money?"

Xu Qingfan chuckled: "Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

"If you're going to say it, then say it; if you're not going to say it, then don't say it. Why all the fuss?" Xia Xiaoxiao was already nervous, so she pretended to be angry and glared at him.

"We're still in the market development stage. If we start charging fees from the beginning, many businesses won't come. Once the market gets bigger, we'll definitely take a cut, plus advertising revenue, that's about it," Xu Qingfan explained in general terms.

"Oh." Xia Xiaoxiao wasn't really interested, but she stepped into the elevator when it arrived.

Xu Qingfan followed closely behind and entered. After swiping his card, he lit up the button for the 32nd floor.

The elevator slowly ascended, and the feeling of being overweight reached my calves, but disappeared once the speed stabilized.

Because it was ascending, the elevator did not stop moving during its journey, and for several tens of seconds, Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao remained unusually quiet.

They both knew what going up to the rooftop meant. As the numbers above their heads climbed higher and higher, their heart rates also rose little by little.

"Ding!" We've reached the 32nd floor, and the door has opened.

Xu Qingfan pressed and held the door open button, and only after Xia Xiaoxiao walked out did he slowly step out.

The high-rise buildings are already quiet, and the fact that the few households on the 32nd floor don't seem to have moved in yet only exacerbates this quietness.

Besides the tapping sound of their footsteps, the two could even hear their own heartbeats clearly.

Xia Xiaoxiao felt her hands trembling uncontrollably. She knew Xu Qingfan was right behind her and could grab her from behind at any moment.

The last half-floor journey felt incredibly long to both of them.

But time is a real thing, and soon, the door to the rooftop appeared before the two of them.

Xia Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and crossed the boundary leading to the new world.

The wind was strong on the rooftop, and her loose black hair danced in the wind.

"Ah~"

Before the girl could even marvel at the beauty of Licheng's night view, Xu Qingfan suddenly hugged her from behind.

Xia Xiaoxiao clenched her hands into a ball. Xu Qingfan pushed her forward, and she went forward; he pushed her to the left, and she went to the left.

As for Xu Qingfan, he had been teased by Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi all afternoon, but the result was that they teased him so much that he couldn't get what he wanted.

Now that it's dark and windy, and there are few people around, it's a bit difficult for Fatty Tiger to stick to his principle of not taking the initiative, not refusing, but taking responsibility.

Xia Xiaoxiao was only wearing a floral dress that reached her knees. As soon as Xu Qingfan pressed up to her, she immediately noticed that something was wrong.

She felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and her breathing became rapid even before she started.

After walking with Xia Xiaoxiao to a scenic spot, he stopped.

Of course, being several meters away from the edge of the balcony, Xu Qingfan didn't want to experience a physical "flying away."

"Xu Qingfan," Xia Xiaoxiao said in a barely audible voice, her usual arrogant demeanor completely gone.

"It's windy on the rooftop, and I saw you were shivering. I was worried you were cold." The scoundrel was making excuses for himself.

"Hmm." Xia Xiaoxiao thought disdainfully, but she didn't dare to refute it at this moment.

He rested his chin on the girl's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Xia Xiaoxiao."

"Ugh~" Xia Xiaoxiao's legs went weak, and she almost fell over if Xu Qingfan hadn't supported her.

His mouth was also dry, and although he was already itching to make a move, he still hoped that Xia Xiaoxiao would take the initiative.

“You were really good last night,” Xu Qingfan whispered in her ear.

"No...I'm sorry." Xia Xiaoxiao was trembling all over. "Ah~"

Xu Qingfan bit her ear and said indistinctly, "You said that yesterday."

"I...I apologize to you." Xia Xiaoxiao was almost brought to tears, and all her usual spoiled and willful demeanor was gone.

"How do you apologize?" Xu Qingfan held his breath and pressed on relentlessly.

"You...you're a dog!" Xia Xiaoxiao felt so embarrassed.

Her public image has been completely shattered. How will she face Xu Qingfan in the future?

"Wang Wang."

"Pfft~ Cough cough cough!"

The girl, who was initially nervous, couldn't help but jump when she heard two barks from a dog beside her.

It took her a while to stop coughing.

Xia Xiaoxiao turned around and glared angrily at Xu Qingfan. After taking a deep breath, she shouted, "Are you satisfied with this apology?!"

Without giving Xu Qingfan a chance to speak, she cupped his face and suddenly kissed him.

[Satisfied.]
Xu Qingfan quickly closed his eyes and slowly began his journey.

Boating in wind and rain, mountains are difficult to climb.

The seawater soaked her clothes, and after some effort, the girl became familiar with steering the ship.

After half an hour.

"Xu Qingfan, you're a dog!"

After leaving behind a profound saying, Xia Xiaoxiao staggered away from the rooftop.

How could he do this!
She ran until she reached a place with light, then stopped, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.

[This is a one-time offer; don't even think about it again!]
Xia Xiaoxiao looked down at her hands, sniffed them, then quickly pulled them away as if they were a monster, then brought them closer again, and pulled them away again.
She was worried that the elevator's security cameras would capture her current appearance, so she only dared to continue walking up the stairs back.

[This is so embarrassing!]
Xu Qingfan, supporting his aching back, quickly left the dangerous place.

It's really not my fault.
