I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 425. You absolutely mustn't have any designs on Brother Fan.

"Oh my god, what should I do?"

Xu Qingfan looked at the bright red handprint on his face and couldn't help but gasp.

Only when he left did he belatedly realize that his face was burning with pain. He found a secluded toilet to check, and sure enough, he saw himself swollen like a pig's head in the mirror.

Xu Qingfan tried to cool down with tap water, but washing with it for more than a minute did not help.

He wasn't in pain, but he had to meet Wan Ning and the others later, and the scoundrel didn't know how to explain it.

Did you accidentally hit a mosquito too hard?

That kind of reason probably wouldn't fool even a fool!

"Have it!"

"Go to the infirmary and ask the school doctor for two cooling patches!"

No longer dominated by waste, Xu Qingfan's intelligence has regained its dominance.

He acted on his idea immediately. He first posted a message in the group saying "Meet at the school gate," and then rushed to the infirmary.

The medical clinic is right next to the administration building and is also very close to the laboratory building.

When he ran to the infirmary, the school doctor had already turned off the lights and was about to leave.

Xu Qingfan thought to himself that it was timely, and politely said, "Hello teacher, I accidentally bumped my face while walking. Could you get me some cooling patches?"

Because it's on campus, students are used to calling everyone, whether it's the school doctor or the principal, "teacher."

The school doctor turned the light back on in the infirmary and looked at his swollen right cheek, with the bright handprint on it.

His lips trembled slightly, and he glanced at Xu Qingfan a couple more times.

[The young man is quite handsome. If he's this good-looking, he's either being a pervert or cheating!]
Having practiced medicine on campus for over twenty years, he had seen all sorts of difficult and complicated cases, and he instantly guessed why Xu Qingfan had been beaten.

As for why it can't be boys fighting, based on his understanding of high school boys, unless it's really serious, those boys would never come to the school doctor. In short, it's embarrassing!
Did you bump into a female classmate?

The school doctor looked him up and down with a disdainful gaze, his lips curling into a mocking smile!
Xu Qingfan:
[Old Deng, you've chosen the wrong path!]
Xu Qingfan gave him a friendly smile, and he was indeed too embarrassed to argue, since Xiao Ruanwen's five fingers were spread apart when she swung him.

The school doctor shook his head and chuckled, then turned and went to the refrigerator to get him a bottle of Nongfu Spring water that was frozen solid.

"Cooling patches won't reduce the swelling on your face. Try this instead. When you get back to your dorm, wrap it in a towel and apply it as an ice pack for at least ten minutes."

Xu Qingfan really wanted to bite him to death. He didn't even know that the cooling patch couldn't reduce the swelling!
[I just wanted to cover it up, why are you being so nosy!]
"It's okay, teacher. I'm a day student. I'll just apply ice when I get home. Could you give me two cooling patches so I can cover myself up?" Xu Qingfan continued to smile, his facial muscles stiff.

The school doctor gave him another meaningful look, shook his head, and bent down again to find two cooling patches in the refrigerator.

"Two yuan each, cash or school card?"

"School ID card".

After paying, Xu Qingfan used the mirror in the infirmary to apply two cooling patches, finally covering the handprint on his face.

He himself was embarrassed to have worked on the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. After finishing, he ran away without looking back.

"I'm not coming to this awful clinic for the next three years!" Xu Qingfan muttered after running a distance.

The five girls were standing under the streetlights. He came from the darkness and saw them from afar.

After confirming that Xiao Ruanwen was also there, Xu Qingfan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he thought of something else.

[Xiao Ruanwen knows about my affair with Xia Xiaoxiao!!!]
It can only be said that once a person's small head controls their big head, their intelligence is completely gone.

Xu Qingfan tried to put himself in Xiao Ruanwen's shoes: "You kissed Xiao Xiao and went to the rooftop (voice cracks), and now you dare to kiss me? What do you take me for?"
I'm Xiaoxiao's best friend, what do you take me for!

Thinking about it this way, Xu Qingfan felt that he was indeed not wronged in being beaten.

"Brother Qingfan, why are you so slow!" Lin Wanning was the first to spot Xu Qingfan approaching and shouted at him.

Xiao Ruanwen saw the boy emerge from the darkness and turned away guiltily.

"You've been in the bathroom for so long, what happened to your face?" Xia Xiaoxiao initially sounded disgusted, but after seeing the thing on his face, she immediately asked with concern.

"Brother Fan, why is your face so swollen?" Wu Lingyu leaned closer and poked the cooling patch on it with her hand, feeling sorry for him.

"Brother Qingfan, let me see!" Lin Wanning tiptoed closer and gently blew on it.

"How did my brother get injured on his face?"

Apart from Xiao Ruanwen, who remained standing there at a loss, all four girls showed their concern.

Xu Qingfan seized upon the details in Xia Xiaoxiao's words and began to act, saying, "Oh dear~ what bad luck! I was looking down at my phone while using the toilet, and the lights in the first-floor toilets weren't on at night, so I accidentally went into the women's restroom!"

"Isn't it a coincidence? A girl was coming out of the restroom right in front of me. She mistook me for a pervert who had entered the women's restroom and slapped me hard in the butt."

"Pfft!" Xiao Ruanwen's cheeks puffed out, like a squirrel with its mouth full of nuts.

Fortunately, all four girls were focused on Xu Qingfan's face and did not notice Xiao Ruanwen's unusual behavior.

"And then what, Brother Qingfan?" Lin Wanning asked, feeling both sorry for him and curious.

"Then she hit me and ran away. I didn't even have time to react. I was still looking down at my phone and didn't even see what she looked like!"

The scoundrel gritted his teeth, putting on a convincing act.

"Hiss~" He covered his face, looking like he had aggravated his wound from anger.

Wu Lingyu looked on with concern and said, "Brother Fan, I'll use a towel to apply a warm compress for you when we get home. Ice compresses aren't as effective."

"Don't be angry, Brother Qingfan. I'll give you a massage when we get back, okay?" Lin Wanning comforted him.

"I told you not to look down at your phone!" Xia Xiaoxiao felt sorry for her, but Xiaoyu and Wanning took over all the chores she was supposed to do, one applying a hot compress and the other giving a massage.

"Alright, alright, let's go home first. It was my fault to begin with." Xu Qingfan's words were loaded with meaning, and he glanced guiltily at Xiao Ruanwen.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruanwen looked at him as well, but immediately looked away after noticing that Xu Qingfan was looking at her.

"Hehe~ Time to go home!" Lin Wanning took Xu Qingfan and Zhang Yiyi's hands and led the way.

Zhang Yiyi suddenly turned around and glanced at Xiao Ruanwen, seemingly lost in thought.

Xiao Ruanwen shuddered under her gaze and guiltily took Xia Xiaoxiao and Wu Lingyu's hands: "Haha, the moon is so round tonight."

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you earlier, the principal is planning to use the 'Time Misalignment' theme song for the centennial celebration."

"what?"

"Is there still this?"

“Yes, Fan and I just went to the principal’s office in the administration building. We only left after the bell rang!” Xiao Ruanwen emphasized.

"Is the principal still at school this late?"

"Hehe, yeah, who knows?" Seeing that the conversation had gotten going, Xiao Ruanwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qingfan's lips curled up. He really had to praise his own brain; when he wasn't being controlled by aliens, he was quite clever.

He didn't even need to use cooling patches as an excuse; he easily convinced the four girls of his lies.

Who else!
Noticing Xu Qingfan glancing at her, Xiao Ruanwen glared back fiercely, her mouth forming the words: "You stinky brother Fan, you liar!"
"Hehe~ Where was I?"

When is the school anniversary celebration?

"Oh right, the centennial celebration is at the end of this month!" After getting home.

Wu Lingyu thoughtfully boiled two eggs to help Xu Qingfan apply a hot compress, and Lin Wanning kept his promise and took charge of massaging him.

"If you're too hot, Fan, just tell me."

"not hot."

"Is Brother Qingfan feeling good?"

"Hmm~comfortable."

Xu Qingfan leaned back on the sofa like a grandpa, with Xiaoyu standing behind him applying a face mask and Wanning squatting in front of him massaging his feet.

Zhang Yiyi also served him tea and water, and fed him washed fruit.

Xu Qingfan said he felt good, Xia Xiaoxiao said she was unhappy, and Xiao Ruanwen said that Brother Fan was really shameless!
"I'm going to take a shower, anyone want to come with me?" She couldn't bear to watch any longer and asked, pulling Xia Xiaoxiao's hand.

"Ruan Wen, you go ahead and wash up."

"I'll finish applying the hot compress to Brother Fan first."

"I'll go with Wan Ning later."

The three women, who were busy with their own affairs, declined.

"I'll go with you!" Xia Xiaoxiao glared at Xu Qingfan and followed Xiao Ruanwen upstairs.

The scoundrel watched Xiao Ruanwen and Xia Xiaoxiao's departing figures, feeling utterly desolate.

[If Ruan Wen tells Xiao Xiao about tonight's events, I'll have to hide the knife before bed!]
"Brother Fan, you should be careful not to use this side of your face when you sleep tonight. The swelling should go down by tomorrow." Xiaoyu finished her task and started peeling eggs for Xu Qingfan.

"Okay, thank you, Xiaoyu." Xu Qingfan smiled at her and took a bite out of half an egg.

Wu Lingyu kept an eye on Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi, and when they weren't looking, she ate the remaining half of the egg herself.

Then the second and third times were done in the same way, and Xiaoyu also learned bad habits.

Seeing that Fan Ge was staring at her with a strange expression, Wu Lingyu lowered her head shyly.

"Is Brother Qingfan still in pain?" Lin Wanning got up and moved closer to his face.

"Much better," Xu Qingfan replied truthfully.

"Trojan horse~"

"Hehe~ That's much better now!"

Lin Wanning kissed him on the cheek and then ran away happily.

"Boom~"

"Brother is much better now."

Zhang Yiyi followed closely behind and kissed him in the same spot.

Wu Lingyu stared in disbelief as the two figures disappeared from sight.

Today was another day of learning, and Xiaoyu said she learned a lot!
"Boh~"

Goodnight, Brother Fan!

Wu Lingyu quickly kissed Xu Qingfan on the cheek, and just as she was about to run away, he grabbed her school uniform pants.

"Fan, Fan, Brother Fan." Wu Lingyu turned around pitifully, and when she found that her panties were completely exposed, she hurriedly tried to retreat back to Xu Qingfan's front.

Xu Qingfan swallowed hard, and realizing that he was once again trying to control his own head, he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Snapped!"

The elastic waistband bounced back instantly onto Xiaoyu's buttocks, creating waves of flesh.

"Ahem~ Well, last night I was talking to you, Xiaoyu, about Wan Ningyi, and then Xiaoxiao came before we finished talking, cough cough cough cough cough."

Xu Qingfan was extremely embarrassed and coughed tactically to ease the discomfort.

"Um, I... I forgot too. Brother Fan, I'll go take a shower first, maybe I'll remember after I shower." Wu Lingyu was in a state of confusion at the moment, especially after catching a glimpse of Brother Fan's little tent, she was in no state of mind to think normally.

"Okay then."

After receiving Xu Qingfan's permission, she quickly fled the living room.

Wu Lingyu is so brave at home because there's only Fan Ge and a little one there.

But it's different here. There's Ruan Wen, You Yi, Wan Ning, and Xiao Xiao. If they're discovered by accident, it'll be a major incident!

On the other side, inside the bathroom.

"Xiaoxiao, why didn't you go and massage Fan-ge just now?" Xiao Ruanwen asked while huffing and puffing as she brushed Xiaoxiao's back.

"Hmph~" Xia Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, looking smug. "It would be better if he were lazy to death. He even needs to be fed fruit!"

"Pfft!" Xiao Ruanwen's mouth bulged into an "O" shape, but thankfully she managed to hold it in.

"Xiaoxiao, you can't do this. Don't you think all men are lustful? Aren't you afraid that Brother Fan will end up on the rooftop with Wan Ning and Xiao Yu too?"

"He dares!" Xia Xiaoxiao angrily slapped the water, splashing water a foot high.

"Pfft, what if?"

Xiao Ruanwen suppressed a laugh, thinking to herself: [He wouldn't dare; he almost took advantage of me just now!]
After a long pause, Xia Xiaoxiao finally uttered only three words: "I don't know."

Seeing her downcast mood, Xiao Ruanwen didn't say anything more.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao, I will definitely help you!"

Her words, though seemingly spoken to Xia Xiao, were in fact a warning to herself.

"Ah."

Xia Xiaoxiao instantly recalled the time she argued with Xu Qingfan in junior high school. She ran out of the house in the rain, and Ruan Wen chased after her in the rain as well.

In her coldest and most helpless moment, it was Ruan Wen who hugged her from behind, giving her warmth.

Xia Xiaoxiao will remember such sisters for the rest of her life!

"I trust you the most, Ruan Wen!"

Xiao Ruanwen whispered in her ear, "Because we're best friends!"

"My very best sister!"

"Thank you so much, Ruanwen! You're the best, Ruanwen!" Xia Xiaoxiao was instantly moved. You can't rely on a scoundrel like that; the only ones you can truly rely on are your sisters!

"Which of us will follow whom?"

"I still remember when I was in elementary school."

Xiao Ruanwen and Xia Xiaoxiao chatted in the small bathtub, reminiscing about their elementary school days and continuing to this day.

The two were not only elementary school roommates, but also sang together, managed the class together, shared the same hobbies, and were equally excellent in both character and academics and beautiful.

The bond between the two of them could not be fully told throughout the entire night!
[What happened with Fan Ge tonight was just a beautiful misunderstanding!]
[In that kind of environment and atmosphere, anyone would be moved. It's the fault of youth and hormones, not my fault, Ruan Wen!]
[That's right, that's exactly it. Blame it on hormones. Anyway, I didn't do anything to Xiaoxiao!]
[I also need to find a chance to have a serious talk with Fan Ge. He's already done *that* with Xiao Xiao, how can he still kiss me!]
Xiao Ruanwen took a deep breath and made up her mind: I must not have any thoughts about Brother Fan, I must not have any thoughts about Brother Fan, I must not have any thoughts about Brother Fan!
