I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 410. Even pleading won't work.

What does kissing feel like? Xiao Ruanwen had no idea until the end of evening self-study.

However, she knew exactly what dry rice tasted like.

Sure enough, before evening self-study was even over, her desk was already spotless.

The bell rings.

"Midnight snack, midnight snack!" Xiao Ruanwen urged Xu Qingfan, who was still doing his homework, shaking him.

Looking at the messy lines that appeared on the exam paper, Xu Qingfan had no choice but to put down his pen.

"Let's go." He packed his things and gestured for Xiao Ruanwen to help him up.

"Hehe!" The latter immediately understood and grabbed his arm with both hands, pulling him up like in a tug-of-war.

Wang Xuan stood up right after her: "I haven't washed my clothes in the dorm yet, so I'm not going to have a late-night snack with you guys."

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Xiao Ruanwen pushed Xu Qingfan out of the classroom and waved back at her.

"See you tomorrow." Watching the two playfully walk away, a bitter feeling welled up in Wang Xuan's heart.

She wasn't actually going to do laundry; she was just afraid that if she stayed with Wan Ning, Xiao Xiao, and the other four, she would feel inferior.

However, Xiao Ruanwen naturally didn't care about the thoughts of a "loser".

Xu Qingfan wouldn't care about any girls other than the five girls either, because he's such a pure-hearted person!

"Next week is National Day, Fan-ge, why haven't I seen the new song you promised?" Xiao Ruanwen hugged his neck from behind, and their intimate behavior attracted many classmates to stop and watch.

Even after living two lives, Xu Qingfan still enjoyed the way his male classmates looked at him; it gave him a strange sense of satisfaction.

Feeling the shock absorption behind him, he slowed his pace: "What's the rush? There are still a few lines of lyrics I haven't figured out how to write."

"Wow! Let me see! Let me see!" Xiao Ruanwen was clearly surprised that Fan Ge, who was usually so procrastinating and lazy, was so helpful this time.

"Walk properly!" Xu Qingfan was almost pushed off balance and fell. After regaining his footing, he turned around and glared at him irritably.

"Hehe~ What's the theme of this song?" Xiao Ruanwen loosened her arms and instead hugged his arms.

“Patriotic theme.” Xu Qingfan tapped her head.

"Huh?" Xiao Ruanwen was dumbfounded.

"Just wait, this video is going to be released around National Day, you're probably going to become a huge star." Xu Qingfan simply patted her shoulder.

"What song is it? Tell me quickly, Fan-ge!"

"Did not say."

"Qingfan Pigeon~"

"do not know."

"Want to know the new song?"

"roll!"

No matter how much Xiao Ruanwen pleaded, Xu Qingfan didn't reveal any more details.

Once Xia Xiaoxiao joined the team, she instantly became obedient, not even daring to cling to Xu Qingfan's arm, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at him.

Besides the six of them, there was also Xie Rui in the group, and the personnel were the same as the first midnight snack they had during military training.

Xie Rui suggested having a late-night snack, but belatedly she realized that the bill Xu Qingfan had given her father wasn't counterfeit.

Since it wasn't discussed openly last time, Xie Rui knew that the counterfeit money issue was in the past and shouldn't be brought up again.

But she really wanted to repay Wu Lingyu and Xu Qingfan, so she decided to treat them to a late-night snack tonight.

"I made a lot of money from my part-time job last week, so I'm treating everyone to a late-night snack!" she said once everyone was present.

Wu Lingyu was slightly taken aback. She was obviously only finding out now that Xie Rui had only told her during evening self-study that he would invite everyone to have a late-night snack together, but had not mentioned treating anyone.

She was worried that Xie Rui wouldn't be able to afford living expenses. She wanted to refuse but was afraid of hurting his self-esteem. She was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to speak or not.

Wan Ning and the others probably shared the same concerns, but Xu Qingfan was much more generous, jokingly saying, "Alright, it's time to eat your food, you big spender!"

"Hehe, eat as much as you want! If you don't max out your meal card, you're disrespecting me!" Xie Rui clearly remembered what Xu Qingfan said that night during military training. Seeing Xu Qingfan say this, Xiao Ruanwen joined in the joking: "If you max out your card, we'll make Brother Fan stay in the cafeteria to wash dishes and send him to the Imperial Clan Court!"

"Hahaha!"

"Correct!"

Seeing that no one refused her request, Xie Rui's tense nerves slowly relaxed.

She did earn money this week from a part-time job, trimming loose threads on jeans. She earned three cents per pair and trimmed two thousand pairs.

With the 60 yuan from the part-time job plus the 60 yuan meal card subsidy that started this week, how can you not consider it making a lot of money?

However, when they went to the cafeteria to order, Xu Qingfan and the five girls each ordered only one main dish and one dessert, and the total cost for the six of them was less than fifteen yuan.

"Auntie, I'd like seven more fried chicken drumsticks, packed separately in a bag." Each drumstick costs five yuan, and Xie Rui ordered seven.

They also ordered some fries, chicken nuggets, and other snacks, and it took them two trips to collect all the food.

"During military training, Fan treated us to late-night snacks, so this time it's my turn to treat!" Although the money in his meal card was spent in no time, Xie Rui felt more comfortable than ever before.

"Thank you, Siri!"

"Next time it'll be Fan's turn to treat!"

"The same goes for next time!"

"The one after that, and the one after that too!"

"And then there's the next, the next, the next..."

"Hahahaha!"

The five girls were very cooperative and supportive, making the late-night snack atmosphere pleasant. As for Xu Qingfan, he was the one who was constantly being teased.

Xie Rui secretly glanced at him, thinking: No wonder they all like Brother Fan so much.

After finishing their late-night snack, they said goodbye to Xie Rui and left.

The weather is great tonight. Because we're far from the city center, the sky above the campus is a beautiful blue.

Xiao Ruanwen rubbed her soft belly to help her digest: "It's the third week of school, and we haven't been to Love Avenue yet. When should we go for a stroll?"

[It's not like I'm just strolling around with Qingfan/brother/Fan-ge/stinky dog, what's the point of this?] The four girls thought to themselves at the same time.

Xu Qingfan was equally too lazy to pay attention to her. He was still worried about how to handle his relationships with everyone, and Xiao Ruanwen was here saying such things.

[What kind of bullshit "Love Avenue" is this? Can't they dedicate their limited time to the boundless service of the people?]
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Xiao Ruanwen felt a little embarrassed.

"Why aren't you talking?"

"Because the next one is a water dragon." Xu Qingfan patted her shoulder.

"You're such a jerk! You're spouting weird stuff again!" Xiao Ruanwen clenched her fist and punched him.

Lin Wanning squeezed between the two and suddenly asked, "Brother Qingfan, do we want to go out and have some fun during the seven-day National Day holiday?"

This topic was clearly better than Xiao Ruanwen's previous nonsense, and it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Want to go out and have some fun? Where to go?"

"Is the scenic area packed with people?" Xia Xiaoxiao frowned.

"I have to work during the National Day holiday, so I probably won't be able to go out and have fun."

Before Wu Lingyu and Zhang Yiyi could even speak, Xu Qingfan's words immediately dampened everyone's enthusiasm.

"Ah~"

Seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, he smiled and said, "We can't go far, but we can go back to our village and bring Xiaobai along!"

"Wow!"

"Great!"

The five girls instantly regained their full strength.
