I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 424. I almost let Xiaoxiao down.

The two arrived during the last evening self-study session. They lingered a little while with Principal Lao Deng, and when they left, there were less than twenty minutes left before the end of the evening self-study session.

"Brother Fan, let's walk around the school. It'll be time to go back to class before school ends, and then we'll have to climb five floors back down."

Xiao Ruanwen, holding Xu Qingfan's arm, suddenly stopped when they were less than twenty meters away from the third teaching building and said.

Xu Qingfan was actually happy to spend more time alone with her, and readily agreed, "Okay, where should we go now?"

Xiao Ruanwen glanced furtively in the direction of Class 1, Grade 1, and said, "Let's just wander around the campus!"

After she finished speaking, she took another long stride, grabbed Xu Qingfan's wrist, and ran along the quiet campus path.

"Watch where you're going!"

Xu Qingfan shook his head helplessly, staggered a couple of steps, and then ran after her.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has been over for almost a month, but tonight's moon is still big and round, like a street lamp hanging in the sky.

Xiao Ruanwen ran a distance before slowing down, her mouth slightly open and her chest heaving. A button on her school uniform was casually undone, and through the gap, one could see the steepness of the mountain peak.

Girls are particularly sensitive to the gaze of the opposite sex. After noticing Xu Qingfan glancing at her subtly, for some reason, she still didn't button up her school uniform.

"I heard Snow White is running away!"

Little Red Riding Hood is running away too!

Xiao Ruanwen walked on the narrow cement embankment, and sometimes she lost her balance and her center of gravity would fall onto Xu Qingfan.

"I told you to take a safe path. I don't want the school's hot topic tomorrow to be that we got bitten by snakes." Seeing that Xiao Ruanwen was still going to go into the woods, Xu Qingfan quickly pulled her back to the cement road.

"Holy crap!" Xiao Ruanwen suddenly remembered that snakes often appeared in the school's flower beds, and instantly jumped behind Xu Qingfan.

"I almost forgot that the hill behind our school is called Snake Head Ridge if you hadn't mentioned it." She said, while keeping a watchful eye on whether there were any snakes under her feet.

Xu Qingfan rolled his eyes at her, annoyed: "The cafeteria probably sells late-night snacks now, do you want to go check it out?"

As you approach the cafeteria, the aroma of fried skewers and various fried rice and noodles fills the air.

Xiao Ruanwen swallowed hard, but shook her head firmly and said, "I won't eat it, I'm on a diet!"

"You're not fat, why are you trying to lose weight? You might end up losing weight in the wrong places," Xu Qingfan teased.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruanwen turned around and glared at him: "It's better to cut it off, so that people won't keep peeking at you!"

Even with Xu Qingfan's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush after hearing this: "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm talking about the knowledge in your head. Don't lose weight and lose the knowledge in your head."

"Haha~ Ah, right, right, right!"

Xiao Ruanwen smiled slyly and proudly pulled him along as they continued running forward.

Xu Qingfan was forced to follow, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

Because Xiao Ruanwen was running towards the dormitory area, and if she continued walking, that would be the Love Avenue of Licheng Middle School.

"Wait, wait~ What are you doing here?"

"What Tingting? I'm Wenwen!"

Xiao Ruanwen tried to bluff her way through, her running pace continuing unabated.

"Pfft~ Hahaha!" Xu Qingfan didn't know if Xiao Ruanwen really didn't understand or was pretending.

But he really couldn't help but laugh, damn it, Tingting!

After arriving at Love Avenue, Xiao Ruanwen stopped again, glaring at him with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance, and said, "Is it that funny!"

“Hahaha, Tingting.” Xu Qingfan pointed at her.

Xiao Ruanwen initially had a stern face, but gradually, she couldn't help but laugh.

With all thoughts gone, only in their schoolyard did the two of them laugh like fools.

"Hey you two, what are you doing!"

"Don't run!"

Suddenly, the lights shone on Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruanwen, and the dormitory supervisor shouted at them through a megaphone.

Xu Qingfan grabbed Xiao Ruanwen's hand and ran. It seemed, perhaps, that there was no need for them to run, but for some reason, he did it immediately.

"Stop!"

The dormitory supervisor originally just wanted to ask the two what kind of work they did, but now Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruanwen run away as soon as they meet. What else could it be but something they're hiding?!

"Stop!" Fearing that the two had sneaked into the dormitory to steal something, she chased after them angrily.

"Brother Fan, why are we running?"

Xiao Ruanwen glanced back at the dormitory supervisor who was following behind her.

"I don't know either. I've already run away. Now that I've been caught, I'm sure I'll get a lot of flak."

Xu Qingfan also looked back and found that the number of people chasing them had suddenly increased from one to three, and each of them was agile.

[Are physical education students laid off and looking for new jobs? They run so fast!]
"Haha, that's right, let's run!" Even at a time like this, Xiao Ruanwen could still laugh.

"Which class are you from? Don't run away!"

"If you run another errand, your accommodation will be suspended!"

Seeing that the dormitory supervisors from other dormitories were about to be mobilized, and that some people were taking detours to ambush them, Xu Qingfan had a sudden inspiration and pulled Xiao Ruanwen into the experimental building around the corner.

After going up and down various stairs and making all sorts of turns, the two finally managed to shake off a group of dormitory supervisors and hide in a fire safety corner of the laboratory building.

"Huhuhu~"

He and Xiao Ruanwen were both panting heavily, pressing their bodies tightly against the corner of the wall to avoid being spotted by the dormitory supervisor with a flashlight.

"Hehehe~ If we get caught, we'll be in deep trouble no matter what." Xiao Ruanwen had a great attitude; she could still laugh even when disaster was imminent.

"Keep your voice down. What was originally thought to be a minor matter has turned into a huge mess if the dorm supervisor catches you now. You'll probably have to call the principal to explain."

Xu Qingfan whispered in her ear.

"Hmm~"

Warm breath brushed against her ear, and Xiao Ruanwen finally came to her senses. The two were in a very ambiguous position.

She hid in a recessed area resembling a stapler, while Xu Qingfan squeezed in from the outside to avoid being seen by people downstairs.

In addition, the weather was hot in early October, and the two of them were only wearing thin summer school uniforms. In such a special environment, when their skin touched, all their senses seemed to be magnified a thousand times.

"The footsteps have stopped; they've probably left."

"They probably won't find this place."

Xu Qingfan was paying close attention to the surroundings and had not yet noticed Xiao Ruanwen's unusual behavior.

"The footsteps are getting quieter. Let's hide a little longer and then go back."

"Ruan Wen?"

Xu Qingfan noticed that Xiao Ruanwen hadn't spoken for a long time, and that's when he started to pay attention to her condition.

"Okay." Hearing her own name, Xiao Ruanwen finally reacted.

Their eyes met, and instantly, Xu Qingfan realized just how intimate their posture was.

The soft chest pads and the breath from above were stimulating his nerves.

Xiao Ruanwen guiltily looked away, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Just as Xu Qingfan was about to speak to ease the awkwardness, a flashlight beam suddenly shone at his feet. Both men's pupils dilated in shock as the light grew brighter and brighter.

Tap, tap, tap, the sound of leather shoes clattering on the floor filled my ears.

Xiao Ruanwen stared at the corner in horror, while Xu Qingfan was equally tense and dared not breathe.

Both of them slowed the rise and fall of their chests, listening quietly to the approaching footsteps.

The light turned into an aperture, and the escaping light particles made his and Xiao Ruanwen's faces appear deathly pale.

The moment the footsteps disappeared, both of them knew that the dormitory supervisor was already standing around the corner. He only needed to take two more steps forward and turn ninety degrees to find the two of them hiding in the gap.

Fortunately, perhaps the dormitory manager was not familiar with the layout of the laboratory building, and after not finding anyone at the corner, he did not continue to go in to check.

With a flash of light and shadow, night once again replaced day.

"Tap, tap, tower."

As the footsteps faded into the distance, he and Xiao Ruanwen both let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew~ That scared me to death." Xiao Ruanwen patted her forehead, panting.

"Thank goodness he didn't come in to check." Xu Qingfan also felt relieved.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, that was too exciting." Their eyes met unexpectedly, and Xiao Ruanwen panicked again.

"Okay, let's go home after school."

Xu Qingfan noticed the change in her eyes, and a hint of tenderness gradually rose in his heart.

In layman's terms, it's having an urge to poop.

"Um"

Xiao Ruanwen avoided his gaze, her center of gravity unconsciously shifting backward, but there was already a wall behind her, so she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

As Xu Qingfan inhaled her pleasant fragrance and felt her soft, bouncy breasts and the gentle breath against his neck, he began to feel increasingly aroused.

As the person closest to him, Xiao Ruanwen was the first to notice the change in him. It was like having a gun pointed at him, which was definitely not a pleasant experience.

Xiao Ruanwen started to panic. She still remembered what Xiao Xiao had said last time: Xu Qingfan grabbed her hand and "forced" her to do naughty things.

When men are in a frenzy, they lose all reason.

[Is Brother Fan going to make me do that too?]
That won't do!
Xiao Ruanwen was really panicked.

Her original intention was simply to stroll along Love Avenue with Fan Ge, and the reason, of course, was so that everyone could get along harmoniously!

As long as Fan Ge gave her his first time—oops, I mean, his first time strolling along Love Avenue—then Xiao Xiao, Wan Ning, Yi Yi, and Xiao Yu won't have to argue about it.

For the sake of family harmony, Xiao Ruanwen has sacrificed so much for this family!
But the problem now is: [How did Fan and I end up hiding here for no reason?!]
"Brother Fan, it seems they've left."

Xiao Ruanwen felt extremely uncomfortable and hoped that Xu Qingfan would get off her as soon as possible.

"They're probably still downstairs. Let's wait for the school bell to ring before we talk about it."

However, Xu Qingfan, whether he genuinely couldn't understand or not, stubbornly stayed on the girl and refused to leave.

"Hmm~ okay. Alright." With Xu Qingfan pressing down on her chest, she felt it was difficult to breathe and speak.

But to the dog-man, such panting sounds were like a battle cry.

The time, place, and atmosphere were all right. How could he not know how poor his self-control was?
Xu Qingfan was unaware that Xiao Ruanwen had formed an alliance with Xia Xiaoxiao, so he felt it was time to pick this unripe fruit.

“Ruan Wen.” He looked at Xiao Ruan Wen again.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Ruanwen's eyes were filled with vigilance and panic.

How long until school ends?

"I don't know."

"Are we having a late-night snack later?"

"Are you going to eat or not?"

He chatted casually, gradually dispelling Xiao Ruanwen's wariness.

“You’re perfect as you are now, you don’t need to lose weight.” Xu Qingfan remembered what she had said not long ago.

"Hmm," Xiao Ruanwen didn't dare to mention the peeping again this time. "So, Brother Fan, do you think I have a better figure, or Xiao Xiao has a better figure?"

[Aaaaaaah~ I'm going crazy!]
Xiao Ruanwen regretted asking the question as soon as she did. She didn't know why she had asked such a question out of the blue.

Xu Qingfan was clearly taken aback, but how could such an easy question stump the dog of a man? "Small stature is good, but I like someone like Ruan Wen."

Xiao Ruanwen was still unhappy after hearing the first half of the sentence, but after hearing the second half, her eyes lit up with joy.

But she quickly realized that she shouldn't be happy.

"What does your liking have to do with me!" Xiao Ruanwen said, lacking confidence.

Xu Qingfan just smiled to himself, thinking, "Why is Ruan Wen acting all a little arrogant?"
Seeing Xiao Ruanwen's evasive gaze, he knew it was time to call it a day.

"Ruan Wen." Xu Qingfan breathed into her ear.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Ruanwen was instantly startled.

"Mmm." Xu Qingfan gazed into her eyes, his lips slowly approaching.

Xiao Ruanwen clenched her fists instantly, first closing her eyes, then slightly opening them a crack. When she saw Fan Ge's lips getting closer and closer to her, she closed her eyes again as if resigned to her fate.

[It's all over, it ...]
Ring ring ring——

Just as things were about to get out of control, the school bell rang.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Ruanwen's disconnected mind seemed to reconnect. After slapping Xu Qingfan away, she gasped for breath and ran away without looking back.

After a long while, Xu Qingfan touched his right cheek, which had just been slapped, and felt a bit like laughing and crying at the same time.

Perhaps it was because of the four girls' various acts of generosity that Xu Qingfan gained unwarranted confidence, believing that Xiao Ruanwen would definitely not refuse him either, which led to this blunder.

Xu Qingfan patted his head and muttered to himself, "One shouldn't be too arrogant."

Logically speaking, normal romantic relationships usually begin with holding hands to establish a connection.

However, because Xu Qingfan was too familiar with the five girls, holding hands and putting his arm around their waists were normal behaviors, so much so that he was already at first base in the early stages.

But that doesn't mean he could kiss Xiao Ruanwen on the lips before they were officially in a relationship!
After realizing this, Xu Qingfan only blamed himself for being reckless, and didn't blame Xiao Ruanwen for hitting him at all.

After all, a man who's cheating on five women deserves to be beaten to death!

Let's find time to apologize to Ruan Wen.

Xu Qingfan shook his head, dusted himself off, and left the laboratory building.

the other side.

Running at full speed, Xiao Ruanwen had already reached the school gate.

"Thank goodness, I almost let Xiaoxiao down!" She kept patting her chest. "Tonight was just an accident, just an accident. I can't let Xiaoxiao know."

"I think I hit Brother Fan a little too hard just now. I hope he's not angry."

[But how could Fan-ge be so shameless? He and Xiao-xiao were already like that, how could he still kiss me!]
[Maybe it's because I'm too charming?]
[Hmph~ That's true, we can't blame Fan Ge entirely!]
Xiao Ruanwen lowered her head, unable to see the ground.
