I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 453. The Temperamental Little Jade
Where did Zhang Yiyi go?

The story goes back twenty minutes.

Anyone who has ever disassembled an iPhone knows that the vibration of an Apple phone is not due to a magnetic field, but rather to physical knocking vibration.

The result is that when the phone falls to the floor and the vibration alert happens to activate at that moment, it will be as noisy as a drilling rig hitting the ground.

Wu Lingyu's phone kept ringing, vibrating as it banged on the wooden floor.

Fortunately, my home is a duplex, so I don't have to worry about disturbing the downstairs neighbors.

But Zhang Yiyi, who was fast asleep, was unsurprisingly awakened by the continuous vibrations.

Because she hadn't spent the night at her own home, she didn't notice anything amiss the moment she opened her eyes.

Xu Qingfan drew the curtains before going to bed last night. The curtains were very effective at blocking out light, so even at midday, the room was still gloomy.

Zhang Yi felt a little thirsty, perhaps because it was past breakfast time, but she didn't feel very hungry.

Xu Qingfan's hand was still on her large conscience. Perhaps she had gotten used to it all night, because she didn't feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Yiyi was still a little sleepy, but after remembering that she was in her brother's room, she closed her eyes again with peace of mind.

After stopping someone's "slip-up," she moved her body further in until her back was pressed against her brother's chest. Only then did she stop fidgeting, a sweet smile on her face.

"Hmm... what is that?"

Suddenly feeling something poking her from behind, Zhang Yi reached back to pull it out. Her face flushed slightly, and she instantly realized that she was illiterate.

She rolled over, bringing herself and Xu Qingfan face to face.

Zhang Yiyi squinted her eyes a crack and saw Xu Qingfan's long, curled eyelashes, which were even more exquisite than those of many girls who wore makeup.

She wrapped her arms around Xu Qingfan's neck and quietly watched her brother's sleeping face, feeling like the happiest person in the world!

Perhaps he was too meticulous in his preaching last night, because the dog-man's brows were slightly furrowed at this moment, and although he was fast asleep, you could feel the fatigue on his face.

"elder brother."

"elder brother."

"elder brother."

Zhang Yiyi murmured softly, her voice growing softer and softer, the intervals between her words becoming longer and longer.

The girl pressed her forehead against Xu Qingfan's and lightly touched his lips.

Logically speaking, this should have been a very heartwarming scene.

but.

No matter how warm and cozy it is, it can't withstand having a gun pointed at you all the time!
If they are a little older or a little younger, they will try to hide it because they are shy.

On the contrary, young girls in their prime, despite only having a vague understanding, desperately want to prove that they have grown up!

How to prove it?

After a slight hesitation, Zhang Yiyi decided to play it by ear.

She observed the changes in Xu Qingfan's facial expressions, constantly practicing and improving, and soon she was enjoying it immensely.

But just then, the sound of a lock being opened came from the doorway.

Zhang Yiyi stopped what she was doing and instantly came to her senses.

"Fuck!"

"Someone is coming!"

Normally a lady, she was so anxious at this moment that she resorted to traditional Chinese arts.

Zhang Yiyi remembered everything!

Last night, when she came out of Wan Ning's room, she happened to run into Xiao Ruanwen, who was sneaking around opening the door to her brother's house. She originally wanted to confront Xu Qingfan, but instead, she was forced into a corner by Xu Qingfan.

Zhang Yiyi was so frightened by the commotion outside the door that she was completely at a loss. For a moment, she just sat there on the bed, staring nervously at the door, forgetting to move.

[Why didn't my brother carry me back!]
She knew now was not the time to confront them. If everyone saw her and Xu Qingfan like this, she would never be able to explain herself, because it was the truth.

While Zhang Yi was thinking of a solution, he also considered hiding himself in advance.

But it only takes a few seconds from unlocking the door to entering. She doesn't even know where her clothes have been thrown. How could she find a place to hide them in such a short time?

Therefore, the best course of action is to hurry up and think of a way to argue with everyone!

But soon, five seconds passed, ten seconds passed, half a minute passed, and the door was still not opened from the outside.

Zhang Yiyi: ? ? ?
Zhang Yiyi quickly realized that Xu Qingfan must have locked the door when he carried her back to her room last night.

But the people outside are still trying to open the door, they must be trying out the keys one by one!

Zhang Yiyi was annoyed that she had wasted those precious thirty seconds.

She had originally thought that the people outside would be able to come in soon, which was why she gave up on treatment. But now that there was still a chance, she was really seizing the opportunity.

Now she can only gamble, hoping that the people outside won't find the right key anytime soon.

Zhang Yiyi immediately released Kun. The scoundrel's brows furrowed into a deep frown, but with disaster looming, who had time to care about him!
She kicked off the covers, gathered her clothes on the bed and floor, and then immediately crawled under the bed.

As her skin pressed against the cool wooden floor, Zhang Yiyi immediately broke out in goosebumps, but due to her tension, she didn't feel anything.

"Ouch~" Zhang Yiyi's shoulder blade suddenly hit something, and she almost cried out in pain.

But she couldn't stop, because if she hid under the bed, anyone coming in would see her, especially since she was completely naked.

Only by hiding deep inside can you enter the blind spot and be completely safe!
After picking up the things that had bumped into her, Zhang Yiyi continued to back away until the back of her head was against the wall, but she still wasn't completely at ease.

Perhaps for the sake of easy cleaning, Xu Qingfan's bed is more than half a meter high, and the distance from the bed board to the floor is more than forty centimeters.

With such a wide gap, without having scouted the area beforehand, she wasn't sure if hiding here would prevent the person standing outside the door from seeing her.

But Zhang Yiyi had no choice but to gamble at this point. In order to hide as much as possible, she was already lying on her side, which saved the most space.

Maintaining this position on the cold, uncomfortable floor is not pleasant at all.

A minute passed.

Another minute passed.

The door to the room still hadn't been opened, but the person outside must have a key, otherwise they wouldn't have tried for so long without giving up.

Zhang Yiyi felt her hands were going numb. If she had known it would take so long for the person outside to open the door, she would have hidden in the bathroom or the closet, or at least put her clothes on first!
Fortunately, the other party was so stupid that they couldn't even open the door, otherwise she would have been arrested on the spot.

"Could it be Wan Ning?" Zhang Yiyi muttered to herself.

Meanwhile, after several attempts, the door lock finally clicked open.

"Brother Qingfan"

Lin Wanning's energetic voice abruptly stopped. Zhang Yiyi, upon hearing the voice, thought to herself: It really was Wanning! "Wanning, what's wrong?"

"what!"

Soon, Xiao Ruanwen's voice came through, but she sounded equally startled.

From Zhang Yiyi's perspective at this moment, she could only see two pairs of legs at the door. Through their daily interactions, she deduced that the legs belonged to Lin Wanning and Xiao Ruanwen.

A moment later, two more pairs of jade-like feet arrived and stood motionless at the door.

Zhang Yi knew that this time it was Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yu.

In her mind, after everyone opened the door, shouldn't she come in first to wake her brother up, and then take advantage of everyone's inattention to find Wan Ning as a cover to leave?

But what's the situation now?

Why are you all standing frozen at the door?
[Have they spotted me?]
Zhang Yiyi was truly panicked now, too frightened to move an inch.

The two sides remained deadlocked, with Zhang Yiyi under the bed and Lin Wanning, Xia Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ruanwen, and Wu Lingyu at the door.

Another minute passed, and neither the person outside came in nor the person inside went out.

The only change is that Zhang Yiyi is about to explode under the pressure.

Zhang Yiyi thought that everyone had discovered her and that the reason they stood at the door without going in was to save her face and let her get dressed and climb out on her own.

It's normal to have this thought; otherwise, it would be completely inexplicable for four people to stand at the door without coming in!
[So be it!]
Zhang Yiyi closed her eyes tightly. Since it could be resolved gracefully, then it should be resolved gracefully.

Just as she made up her mind to go out in a presentable manner, a physics problem she had done in junior high school struck her like a thunderbolt.

"Brother, why is this question wrong? If my eyes can see you, then you must be able to see me, right? Isn't that right?"

"Of course not. If you hide in the shadows, and there's reflection or diffused light, you won't be able to see it."

"So, if we disregard these special cases, is that the right approach?"

"If we disregard these factors, then it is indeed correct."

Zhang Yi held her breath, her mind racing: [Leaving aside special circumstances, if they can see me at the door, then I should be able to see their faces too!]
I've got it! I've got it!
Regardless of why everyone was standing motionless at the door, it couldn't possibly be because they had spotted her!
Zhang Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master math, physics, and chemistry, and you'll be able to go anywhere in the world without fear." Zhang Yiyi has never felt this saying more deeply than she does now!
She wasn't sure if she was afraid to travel the world, but at least now, hiding under the bed, she was truly not afraid at all.

"Brother Qingfan, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

"Waaah~ I didn't see anything!"

The two minutes that followed felt like two centuries to Zhang Yiyi.

Fortunately, the people outside finally spoke up.

Upon hearing Lin Wanning and Xiao Ruanwen's voices, Zhang Yiyi probably, seemingly, or roughly knew what was going on!
Thinking of her brother, who was still fast asleep with guns blazing overhead, Zhang Yiyi puffed out her cheeks instantly.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and covered her mouth with her hand, preventing herself from laughing out loud.

[Hahaha, brother, you've really embarrassed yourself!]
Zhang Yi started to gloat, even though it was all her fault for acting opportunistically.

At the same time, she was also quite curious about how everyone was going to wake Xu Qingfan up.

[One slash!] After the crisis was over, Zhang Yiyi started being cheeky again, making a peace sign gesture.

Outside.

"Xiaoxiao, go wake up Brother Fan, I'll go wake up Yiyi!" Xiao Ruanwen suppressed the urge to look back and ran away with a blush on her face.

Lin Wanning was still covering his face with his exposed hand, his cheeks flushed.

Xia Xiaoxiao glared at her with hostility. Even though she wasn't the one being stared at, she felt like she had been wronged.

To minimize the loss, Wan Ning watched, and so did she!
Wu Lingyu was a woman who had seen a lot and knew that she couldn't miss this opportunity. After calming down, she squeezed between the two people and headed straight for the prehistoric crocodile!

[The bathroom door wasn't locked, so it probably wasn't. There were no feet under the curtains, and no one was covered by the blankets. Were they hidden in the closet or under the bed?] After just a quick glance around, Wu Lingyu already had a guess.

[No matter what, we absolutely cannot let Yi Yi be exposed, especially not in front of Xiao Xiao!]
Xiaoyu has worried herself sick over this family.

Zhang Yi hid under the bed, watching the moving feet with extreme fear.

It wasn't that she was afraid of being discovered by anyone coming in; she had already brought her clothes and shoes in. Unless someone was so bored as to deliberately lie down and look under the bed, she would absolutely not be found!

What truly terrified Zhang Yiyi was Xiao Ruanwen's words just now: "I'll go call Yiyi!"

[Oh no, what am I going to say if everyone comes into the room and finds I'm not there?]
I underestimated everything.
Regardless of what Zhang Yiyi was thinking, the moment Wu Lingyu passed between the two, Lin Wanning and Xia Xiaoxiao both widened their eyes.

The two subconsciously looked at each other, then looked away and stepped into the house together.

Why isn't Xiaoyu shy?
[Xiaoyu wants to wake up Qingfan before I do!]
The two had different thoughts, but both looked at Wu Lingyu's back.

"Brother Fan, get up! Get up! Get up!"

Wu Lingyu wasn't shy at all; she was clearly nervous and anxious. She first covered the prehistoric giant crocodile with the blanket, and without saying a word, she reached out and shook Brother Fan's arm.

"get up!!!"

Lin Wanning and Xia Xiaoxiao walked in unison and exchanged a glance.

In all these years, when have they ever seen Xiaoyu so irritable?
"Brother Fan!!!"

Wu Lingyu was really angry. She was nervous all morning. Well, that stinky Fan slept soundly all morning!

If Li Meijuan weren't from Sichuan or Chongqing, and if her grandmother hadn't passed away long ago without any family tradition to carry on, she would have said "I'm from the mountains of Sichuan" at this point.

Even so, the irritable Xiaoyu still startled everyone, even Zhang Yiyi, who was hiding under the bed thinking of a solution, had her mind pause for a moment.

"Ah!" Xu Qingfan had a sudden inspiration and sprang up from the bed like a carp leaping out of its shell.

"Ah!" The dog of a man suddenly came back to life, not only bumping into Xiaoyu's forehead but also giving her a big fright.

Wu Lingyu was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, pitifully clutching the spot where she had just been hit.

Having already felt unwell and wronged all morning, and with her forehead still throbbing painfully, Xiaoyu could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah... Hmm?"

"Xu Qingfan, what are you doing!"

"Xiaoyu, are you alright?"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The situation suddenly became chaotic, with a bewildered Xu Qingfan, an angry Xia Xiaoxiao, an anxious Lin Wanning, and Xiao Ruanwen rushing over after hearing the noise.

Of course, there's also Zhang Yiyi hiding under the bed.

And then there's Wu Lingyu, who unexpectedly makes eye contact with her.

Zhang Yiyi: It's over!
Wu Lingyu: Sure enough, it was under the bed!
