I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 458. Joining the Organization
"Why are you always looking this way at me?" Xia Xiaoxiao pushed Xu Qingfan's head back in a disgusted manner.

Ever since Wu Lingyu and Zhang Yiyi went upstairs, that scoundrel of a man has been looking up at the building almost every thirty seconds, because he has a guilty conscience and is afraid that the two of them will fight upstairs.

"Two, two, three, four, can't I do head movements?" Xu Qingfan turned his head back, forth, left, and right, retorting.

Xia Xiaoxiao pouted, rolled her eyes, and continued watching the TV series.

The Legend of Zhen Huan has only been airing for a short time, and it is currently showing the selection of concubines, with Zhen Huan, Mei Zhuang, and Ling Rong being selected to enter the palace.

Xia Xiaoxiao thought this was just another TV drama about princes and commoners falling in love, and quickly lost interest.

Lin Wanning was focused on the negotiations upstairs and showed little interest in them either.

Only Xiao Ruanwen was engrossed in watching the watermelon, holding the scooped-out flesh in her spoon and holding it up in mid-air, forgetting to put it in her mouth.

"Brother Qingfan, where do you want to go?" The dog man had just started to get up when Lin Wanning had already put her hand on his arm.

"Ha, I'm going to the restroom." Xu Qingfan patted her hand, and after letting go, he awkwardly walked into the restroom.

After locking the door, he leaned against the wall and looked at WeChat and QQ on his phone again and again.

Wu Lingyu and Zhang Yiyi still hadn't sent him a single message; it had been almost half an hour since they went upstairs.

As it approached 2 p.m., Xu Qingfan's anxiety intensified.

[Xiaoyu is still angry with me. If she spills everything about my situation in a fit of anger, how can I continue to live in the shadows?]
"My brother is mine now!"

"Don't think that just because you're under the covers, Fan Ge is one of yours. Let me tell you, I'm under the covers too!"

"You, you, you!" (Speechless)

"Hmph!" (Hands on hips)

Just thinking about it sent chills down Xu Qingfan's spine.

Moreover, this was not what he was most worried about. What Xu Qingfan was more afraid of was that Xiao Yu's quarrel would attract Lin Wanning, Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruanwen, especially Xia Xiaoxiao!

At that point, it will truly be a clash of titans, a battlefield of swords and shadows, a life-or-death struggle.

"Xiaoyu, please don't hurt me," the scoundrel muttered softly.

Xu Qingfan's words made no sense at all. Even if Wu Lingyu exposed herself, it could only be considered as helping him to see the error of his ways.

From beginning to end, the only person who truly harmed him was himself!

Of course, they also bear some responsibility for their indulgence.

"Xiaoyu would never betray me, absolutely not!"

Xu Qingfan's trust in Wu Lingyu overcame his suspicion.

After all, if he didn't truly trust Xiaoyu, that scoundrel wouldn't have told her all his secrets.

"I'm just worried that Yi-yi might try to trick me into revealing information. Yi-yi is too clever; what if Xiao-yu accidentally lets something slip?"

Wu Lingyu had always given him the impression of being honest and simple. Despite her excellent academic performance, she always gave people the impression of being a bit simple-minded.

Her naiveté was different from Lin Wanning's natural airheadedness, but Xu Qingfan couldn't quite put his finger on the difference.

As for Zhang Yiyi, the young girl has always been portrayed as taciturn and resourceful, after all, her mother is Zhang Chunxue.

In Xu Qingfan's eyes, it was easy and effortless for him to manipulate Xiaoyu completely.

But the reality is.

"Yiyi, when we go downstairs later, we have to pretend we're angry with each other, so that Brother Fan can't tell!" Just before leaving, Wu Lingyu suddenly grabbed Zhang Yiyi's hand.

Zhang Yi was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood Xiaoyu's intention.

[It was definitely the right decision to let Xiaoyu join us!] she thought to herself.

"I want what I want!"

"We can't let our brother find out that we're working together!" Zhang Yiyi echoed repeatedly.

“We’ll say it like this when the time comes.” Even though she knew the room was well soundproofed, Wu Lingyu was still worried that someone might be overheard, so she whispered in her ear.

"Uh-huh!"

"Xiaoyu, you're right!"

Zhang Yiyi's eyes lit up as she listened, because Xiaoyu's suggestions made perfect sense.

For example, you could ask Xiaoyu to find an opportunity to give this away for free, but you can't just give it away so easily. If the bad brother gets it too easily, he won't cherish it!
"Yiyi, you should tell Fan that I've agreed to keep your secret, but on the condition that you can't do this anymore. It can't be done for a while. We'll discuss the specific time later."

Wu Lingyu looked at Zhang Yiyi with a slightly guilty expression.

"I want what I want!"

"This bad older brother must be severely punished; he's so careless!"

Zhang Yiyi naturally had nothing to say, after all, she could only not crawl into her brother's bed again for a short period of time, but Xiaoyu had to postpone this free gift indefinitely!
Great, needless to say!

"Yes, it's the same with Wan Ning. They won't be rewarding him for the foreseeable future." Wu Lingyu blushed as she spoke, and she couldn't think of any good words to replace it.

"Pfft~"

Zhang Yiyi smiled and pinched her cheek: "It's settled then!"

"Mmm!" Xiaoyu also showed a simple and honest smile.

After agreeing on all the details, the two left together with smiles on their faces.

When they reached the corner of the stairs, Wu Lingyu and Zhang Yiyi tacitly separated by three feet, suppressing their smiles.

"Yiyi, you can go down now," Wu Lingyu said, taking a deep breath.

"Hmm!" Zhang Yi looked at her with a slight shiver, but his composure crumbled in less than half a second.

"Come on, don't let your brother know!" She squeezed Xiaoyu's hand, then let go and turned to go downstairs.

Watching Zhang Yiyi's figure disappear around the corner, she finally didn't have to hold back anymore and burst into laughter.

Wu Lingyu felt she was really bad for trying to trick Yi Yi into not rewarding Fan Ge, but in reality she had already given it away for free, so there was no question of whether it was easy or not!

[Now that I've joined the Wan Ning family, the exact duration of the "short-term" period is entirely up to me!]
Wu Lingyu had considered the idea of ​​forbidding Wan Ning from giving rewards on one side, while secretly giving rewards herself on the other.

However, she quickly dismissed this idea, not because she felt ashamed, but simply because she felt that Fan Ge's behavior this time was really too much. Not only was he not punished, but he also wanted a reward?

no way!

[Unfortunately, this matter cannot be discussed in short stories.]
Unable to tell Xia Xiaoxiao openly, Wu Lingyu wasn't without options. At worst, she would start keeping a one-on-one watch on Xia Xiaoxiao from today onwards.

[If I accidentally discover Xiaoxiao and Fan Ge again, could I become a triple agent?]
A whole host of mischievous ideas seemed to spring up out of nowhere and instantly filled her mind. Wu Lingyu felt that she had really gone astray.

[It's all Fan Ge's fault!]
"Cough cough~"

Just as she was lost in thought, her cell phone rang.

Wu Lingyu snapped out of her daze, turned on the screen, pressed the message pop-up, and the interface jumped directly to QQ.

The QQ Mail notification showed three unread messages, but just a few seconds later, there were already eight.

Wu Lingyu clicked on it with suspicion, only to find that it was a fake "QQ email notification," and the real one was a three-person group that Zhang Yiyi had just created.

Lin Wanning: Huh?

Who added me to the group?

Yes, Yi-yi! How did your talk with Xiao-yu go?

Ah, Xiaoyu is in the group too!
Xiaoyu, I didn't say anything!

I know nothing!
Xiaoyu, I really don't know anything!

Wu Lingyu chuckled as she watched Lin Wanning's barrage of comments, then typed in a nine-grid format: 【I know everything now. [Smirk]】

After sending the message, she turned off her phone and put it away. Once she had calmed down, she walked downstairs with a stern face.

Whether it was telepathy or not, Xu Qingfan happened to push open the bathroom door at that moment, and the two of them spotted each other immediately, gazing at each other from afar.

Wu Lingyu looked away first. She was worried that she would mess up her performance, but when she saw Xu Qingfan's face, she knew that she had been overthinking it.

Xiaoyu is very angry!
That stinky Fan actually framed her for being angry because she was jealous! Unforgivable!

Xu Qingfan's heart sank when he didn't see Zhang Yiyi. Fortunately, when he turned around, he saw Yiyi sitting on the sofa playing on her phone.

[It's good that nothing bad happened.]
He breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

Xu Qingfan turned his gaze back to Wu Lingyu, but the latter truly regarded him as something filthy, quickening her pace downstairs and deliberately avoiding the opportunity to meet him.

Wu Lingyu sat down next to Xiao Ruanwen, with the sofa armrest right next to her. She couldn't believe that Brother Fan would be so shameless as to sit next to her!

however.

Xu Qingfan was truly shameless. He sat down on the far right armrest of the sofa and, quite familiarly, placed his hand on Xiaoyu's head.

"It's not over yet? It's almost 2 o'clock and we should be going to school." The scoundrel casually remarked.

"Brother Fan, can you watch it all before you go? It's so good!" Xiao Ruanwen only remembered that she still had the spoon in her mouth when she spoke. So much time had passed, and her mouth tasted metallic.

"Then I'll tell the driver to pick us up at three o'clock."

"We still need to go to the supermarket," Xia Xiaoxiao said to him, putting down her phone and turning her head.

"Then 3:30," Xu Qingfan changed his mind.

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yi exchanged a glance, then continued chatting on their phones.

"Xiaoyu, your phone keeps ringing, why don't you check it?" Xu Qingfan still wanted to strike up a conversation with Wu Lingyu, so he casually brought up a topic.

Wu Lingyu's hands clenched silently. Why didn't she open it to take a look? It's all because you're sitting here!
"Class group chat," she replied casually.

"Oh, it's the class group chat. I've muted all group messages except for our six-person group," Xiaoyu replied, and Xu Qingfan continued the awkward conversation.

Wu Lingyu looked up because Brother Chou Fan's hand was still on her head.

If she weren't afraid that Ruan Wen and Xiao Xiao would notice something was wrong, she would have already aborted it in a fit of anger.

[How come I never realized Fan Ge was so annoying before!]
[Hmph~ You'll be so embarrassed if you don't say anything!]
"You're going to record a demo this week, right? Ruanwen, how's your singing going?" After realizing that Xiaoyu was ignoring him, Xu Qingfan went to chat with Xiao Ruanwen instead.

"It's just a few lines that were changed, it's not like we're recording a new song, why are you asking, Brother Fan?" Xiao Ruanwen looked at her like she was an idiot.

"."

"I was just worried you'd forget how to sing it after a few weeks. After all, it's going to be the school song from now on, so of course we should take it as seriously as possible." Xu Qingfan was unable to refute, and his voice grew softer and softer.

"Okay, Fan-ge, shut up. Don't disturb our TV viewing." Xiao Ruanwen gave her a reassuring look, and when she turned back to look at the TV, she realized that the ending theme song was already playing.

"See? It's all your fault." Despite the misunderstanding, Xiao Ruanwen still looked at him reproachfully.

Xu Qingfan: ? ? ?

"I'm going home to pack my things," Xia Xiaoxiao said, getting up first.

"Oh no~ I still left my schoolbag at home!" Xiao Ruanwen only remembered after being reminded by her.

"Hehe~ I didn't bring my schoolbag home!" Lin Wanning turned off her phone screen before saying with a grin.

"I didn't bring any either," Zhang Yiyi said with a slight smile, tilting her head.

"Ah~ I should have known better than to bring it. I was thinking I could study at home!" Xiao Ruanwen covered her face with her hands, on the verge of tears.

"You're supposed to be a good student, but none of us bring homework except you!"

"Woooooo~"

Xu Qingfan tapped her on the head and then said, "Alright, stop pretending. We'll go home with you to get your homework later. It's no big deal."

"Hehe~"

"Kill Brother Fan! Kill all the heartless bastards in the world!"

Xiao Ruanwen placed the half-eaten watermelon on the coffee table, then stood up and started throwing wild punches at Xu Qingfan.

Wu Lingyu glanced at him secretly and nodded in agreement.

Xu Qingfan subdued the madwoman with one hand and flicked her forehead: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. How am I a heartless man?"

Xiao Ruanwen rubbed her forehead, which had just been flicked, and pouted, saying, "When did I say you were a heartless bastard? I only said I wanted to beat Brother Fan to death, do you understand?"

"I think you're guilty, Fan-ge!"

Xiao Ruanwen suddenly slapped him again, then happily ran off to pet the cat.

"Hmph~ That's exactly right!" Wu Lingyu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Xu Qingfan:
"No!" Xu Qingfan replied in a low voice.

"Yes!" Wu Lingyu was finally able to swat his hand away from her head.

"no!"

"that is!"

Xu Qingfan hadn't had a toothache like this in a long time. Xiaoyu had always been the epitome of obedience in his mind, but he never expected her to have a rebellious phase.

"No, it isn't!" he whispered in the girl's ear, not giving her a chance to argue, before the scoundrel got up and left.

"No, then no." Wu Lingyu pouted, sulking as she watched his departing figure.

Actually, after these few minutes of arguing, her anger had subsided by more than half. There's no way around it, Xiaoyu is just that easy to coax.

Who told him to be Fan Ge, Xiao Yu's favorite Fan Ge?

Wu Lingyu smiled again and took out her phone after watching him walk away.

Her phone had been ringing all day, and she was curious about how Yi Yi and Wan Ning's conversation was going.

The first thing Wu Lingyu saw when she opened her email notifications was two new messages at the bottom of the screen.

[Lin Wanning: Welcome Xiaoyu to the big family! *★，°*:.☆\(￣▽￣)/$:*.°★*]

[Zhang Yiyi: Welcome, Xiaoyu!]

Wu Lingyu looked up and saw that Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi had put down their phones and were looking at her.

Wu Lingyu lowered her head to edit the message.

[Wu Lingyu: This is my first time here, please be kind to me!]

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
