I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 417. Brother Fan, are you and Wan Ning dating?
Why did Xu Qingfan think the person behind him was Zhang Yiyi?
The story goes back an hour.

"Does your brother lock the door when he sleeps at night?"

After receiving the reward, Zhang Yi's face flushed red as she lowered her head to ask a question.

Xu Qingfan was shocked, his excitement instantly vanished: "Don't be silly, this won't work, we'll be discovered."

"Okay~" Zhang Yiyi pouted, and that was the end of it.

Because of this little incident, and because the figures matched, Xu Qingfan subconsciously overlooked the subtle differences in taste.

Xu Qingfan tried to turn around, but "Zhang Yiyi" was still holding his waist.

Seeing that the girl didn't speak, he continued, "Why did you still come? Didn't I tell you this place wasn't a good spot? It wouldn't be good if someone saw us."

Wu Lingyu was initially just dumbfounded, but after hearing the second sentence, her pupils dilated in shock.

[Could it be that Fan Ge and Yi Yi are also...?]
She didn't speak, wanting to hear Xu Qingfan continue.

Xu Qingfan lived up to expectations and continued, "Listen to me, Yi Yi. This place is really not suitable. Ruan Wen and Xiao Yu are right next door. It would be bad if they were discovered."

Wu Lingyu's heart was beating faster and faster, and her breathing was becoming rapid.

For some reason, her mind was exceptionally clear at this moment, and she was able to sort out many of the problems that usually troubled her.

[Did Fan Ge actually have relationships with both Wan Ning and Yi Yi at the same time? Did they all know about it, or was Fan Ge keeping it a secret from one of them, or were Wan Ning and Yi Yi deliberately making Fan Ge think they didn't know?]
Considering the relationship between the two women, Wu Lingyu couldn't help but think further.

"So disobedient, huh? Don't think you can get away with not speaking." Seeing that the person behind him remained silent, Xu Qingfan "angered".

He gently removed Zhang Yiyi's hand. Because she was thinking, she was completely unprepared, so Xu Qingfan easily flipped her over and slapped her buttocks with his large hand.

"Snapped!"

However, the moment the sensation traveled from his palm back to his cerebral cortex, Xu Qingfan was completely stunned.

[This feels off!]
"Snapped!"

"clap clap"

As if to confirm his suspicions, he slapped the hand hard once, twice, three times until the force gradually diminished.

[How could it be Xiaoyu?]
[Oh no, did I just self-destruct?]
Xu Qingfan almost laughed out of anger. That scent was unmistakably Wu Lingyu's! How could he be wrong?! How could he possibly be wrong?!
The scoundrel panicked and put his hand on Xiaoyu's buttocks, not daring to take it back.

"Go back to sleep, we need to get up early to watch the sunrise tomorrow." Xu Qingfan closed his eyes and kissed Xiaoyu on the forehead.

Since it's already beyond repair, let's just play dead to the end. As long as he doesn't admit it, the person lying in bed right now is "Zhang Yiyi"!
As long as he himself isn't embarrassed, then he's not the one who's embarrassed!

pity.

"Eh~"

Wu Lingyu's soft sigh tore away his last remaining pretense.

"Brother Fan, it's me, Xiaoyu."

What could Xu Qingfan say? What could he possibly say? What else could he possibly say?
[Of course I know you're Xiaoyu, but couldn't you have refrained from calling me out on it?]
[Xiaoyu, you're no longer my sweet little darling!]
Ultimately, he had to face it. Fortunately, all those years of watching harem anime hadn't been in vain. In an instant, Xu Qingfan had already come up with a solution.

After he opened his eyes, he naturally pinched Xiaoyu's little face: "I knew you were Xiaoyu all along. I was just teasing you. What are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?" Wu Lingyu was indeed stunned by his preemptive strike. She forgot to ask the questions that were on her mind, and all her words turned into one:
"what?"

The two were so close that Xu Qingfan could see the girl's adorable expression clearly. He hugged Wu Lingyu tighter and whispered in her ear:
"Xiaoyu, is there something on your mind that you want to tell me? You seemed downcast when we were setting off fireworks tonight."

In just a few words, Wu Lingyu's plan was completely disrupted. She had something on her mind that she wanted to confide in Brother Fan, and there was also the matter with Zhang Yiyi just now. She didn't think he was just teasing her!

But now, Wu Lingyu was completely unable to form words. Smelling the pleasant scent on Xu Qingfan, all that was left in her head was a buzzing sound.

"Ah."

Seeing that he had covered up his mistake with just a few words, Xu Qingfan felt quite smug.

[Luckily, I'm quick-witted; I managed to get away with it!]
However, a minute later, he will regret the very thing he said next.

"Xiaoyu, is something on your mind? Tell me about it, okay?" He spoke as gently as possible.

These words seemed to have a magical power, instantly bringing Wu Lingyu, who had fallen for the man's charm, back to her senses.

She kicked the sheets to make herself able to look Xu Qingfan in the eye.

Wu Lingyu gazed silently into his eyes, her heart churning with emotions.

Xu Qingfan had no idea what Xiaoyu was thinking. He was in control of the situation, so he quietly looked into the girl's eyes, occasionally touching her nose with his.

Wu Lingyu took a deep breath and her words were earth-shattering: "When we were playing hide-and-seek, Fan Ge and Wan Ning were kissing in the yard. I saw it from the rooftop."

She felt that if she asked first, "Are Fan Ge and Wan Ning dating?", given Xu Qingfan's despicable character, he would definitely deny it outright. If she then brought up the kissing incident, wouldn't that be like slapping Fan Ge in the face?

To save Fan Ge's face, Wu Lingyu chose to confront him head-on.

After Wu Lingyu finished speaking, she shut her mouth, feeling as if a huge rock that had been pressing on her heart had vanished into thin air, allowing her to look at him calmly.

Xu Qingfan instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Looking at the way Xiaoyu was looking at him, he didn't know whether to speak or not.

[I knew I felt like I was being spied on when we kissed! Turns out Xiaoyu really was spying on us from the rooftop! Damn!]
Since he couldn't control his own desires, Xu Qingfan naturally had no face to blame Xiaoyu for interrupting his good deed.

After much hesitation, he uttered the phrase that every dog ​​of a man in the world would say.

"Xiaoyu, let me explain."

"Mm." Wu Lingyu nodded, her eyes bright, indicating that she was listening.

Xu Qingfan broke out in a cold sweat; he couldn't think of an excuse in such a short time.

[I may be a bit of a dog, but that doesn't justify shifting the blame to Wan Ning!]
"Here's what happened. Tsk, that's how it is. This story goes back to... a long time ago." He stammered a lot, but it was all nonsense.

"Eh~"

The more guilty Xu Qingfan seemed, the more it confirmed Wu Lingyu's suspicions. She asked, "Brother Fan, are you and Wan Ning dating?"

Saying just this simple sentence felt like it took all of Wu Lingyu's strength, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Thinking of the worst-case scenario, Xiaoyu couldn't help but cry again.
