I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 465. Yi-Yi and Xiao-Yu, who felt like they had met too late.

In another corner of the cafeteria, Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, and Wu Lingyu gathered together.

Wu Lingyu had already sent the conversation with Xu Qingfan to the two of them via mobile phone. The three of them had already brainstormed many solutions in the group chat. This offline meeting was to deepen their consensus on cooperation.

After saying goodbye to their dining companions, the three women each had an ice cream and chatted as they walked home.

Zhang Yiyi bit off a small piece of ice and put it in her mouth, then smiled with narrowed eyes, saying, "After this incident, brother should behave himself."

Lin Wanning was eating a small pudding. Seeing that the ice cream was about to melt into water droplets and drip down, he quickly lowered his head and put it in his mouth.

As if her tongue had been chilled, she instinctively fanned herself with her hand, and only asked when she felt a little better, "So when can we take off the reward duck?"

Wu Lingyu and Zhang Yiyi have been frequently rewarding Xu Qingfan recently, but poor Lin Wanning hasn't been able to sneak into Qingfan's bed since the last time.

"At least...at least six months, maybe three months!" Wu Lingyu said after a moment's thought.

"Ah~ it takes so long?" Lin Wanning immediately looked aggrieved.

"Can I just stay in bed and not reward Brother Qingfan?" the girl asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Pfft~ Hahaha."

Wu Lingyu and Zhang Yiyi burst out laughing at the same time; Lin Wanning's serious demeanor while saying these things was just too hilarious.

"Hey~ You're not allowed to laugh, you're not allowed to laugh, you're not allowed to laugh!"

The more she tried to stop them, the happier they laughed.

"I'm getting angry!" Lin Wanning said angrily, hands on her hips, frowning and puffing out her cheeks.

however.

"Hahahaha!" All she got in return was Wu Lingyu and Zhang Yiyi's Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

Lin Wanning's serious face finally couldn't hold back.

"I'm really angry." She said weakly, and then, hearing their laughter, she couldn't help but laugh herself.

After thinking about it, Wu Lingyu also felt that it was unfair to Lin Wanning.

After the laughter subsided, she said, "Wan Ning is actually right. Logically speaking, only Fan Ge, Yi Yi, and I should know about this. If Wan Ning suddenly doesn't sleep in Fan Ge's bed for several months, Fan Ge is smart enough to guess that the three of us are working together."

Zhang Yiyi initially didn't take it seriously, but after hearing what Xiaoyu said, she instantly became alert.

"Xiaoyu is right. We almost gave ourselves away. Wanning should have crawled into her brother's bed. The last time was in early September, which is more than a month ago."

"Wan Ning wants to crawl into her brother's bed. She'll do it this week since it's a holiday!"

Zhang Yiyi finished speaking with a resolute tone.

"Huh?" Lin Wanning stared blankly with her mouth agape. She had only said it casually, but now it had actually come true?

“That’s right, that’s right. Wan Ning will be going to the lab this week, which will be a good opportunity to test Brother Fan and see if he’s lying!” Wu Lingyu added.

"Correct!"

"If brother doesn't keep his word, I'll do what Xiaoyu did and go to his room to expose his hypocrisy!"

Zhang Yi put an ice cream in his mouth and suddenly clapped his hands.

"It works! It works!"

"That way, Brother Fan will be the one who's at a disadvantage, and we can stand on the moral high ground and condemn him!"

Wu Lingyu's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and she was already looking forward to the scene of Fan Ge being completely subdued by the three of them.

"That's right, seeing this, how can that womanizing brother find other women again!"

Zhang Yi stared intently at Wu Lingyu, feeling as if they had known each other for a long time.

"Yes!" Wu Lingyu nodded seriously, feeling the same way.

Only Lin Wanning's mouth was open even wider.

"Huh?" She felt like she was starting to get a brain.

Zhang Yiyi and Wu Lingyu looked at Lin Wanning together, then smiled at each other.

"Hahahaha!"

"Oh dear, you're all laughing at me again!"

"Stop laughing! Stop laughing!"

Lin Wanning was being silly, scratching them with his two chicken claws, looking both dumb and adorable.

"Hahaha"

"That's it for today, everyone. Good afternoon and sweet dreams."

See you this afternoon.

"Goodbye, squad leader! Goodbye, Brother Fan!"

After saying goodbye to their group members at the cafeteria entrance, Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruanwen left in opposite directions.

Logically, everyone should finish class at the same time and eat at roughly the same pace, so they should all be leaving the cafeteria by now.

Xiao Ruanwen tiptoed and turned around 360 degrees on the spot. Only after she did not find Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yu could she turn her gaze away.

It was the first time since the start of the semester that she and Xu Qingfan had walked home together.

"Do I look good in glasses, Brother Fan?" Xiao Ruanwen quickly walked up to him, bent down and smiled, looking at her little brother.

However, Xu Qingfan's answer was still infuriatingly infuriating.

"It's alright." He said this while looking at his phone screen, without even glancing at her.

"Hmph~ I wonder who was swearing in physics class." Xiao Ruanwen wrinkled her nose, assuming that Brother Fan was just too embarrassed to admit it.

Xu Qingfan put away his phone and stared straight at her.

Not to be outdone, Xiao Ruanwen raised her head and looked back.

Thirty seconds, a minute later, she was defeated.

"What are you looking at!" Xiao Ruanwen revealed her weapon of mass destruction: two tiger teeth.

Xu Qingfan simply smiled faintly, and the next second, he put his hand on the girl's shoulder and pulled her to his side.

Before Xiao Ruanwen could react, he had already spoken up: "Ruanwen looks quite pretty with glasses on."

Xiao Ruanwen's dimples flashed by, and she proudly boasted, "Actually, it's not so bad. It's just that those glasses are so-so. If I changed to a more suitable pair, I would look even better."

"Hahaha." Xu Qingfan was amused by her again.

"What are you laughing at? It is true!" Xiao Ruanwen was initially a little guilty, but seeing his smiling face, she was instantly emboldened by her anger.

“Yes, yes, yes, glasses don’t suit you. If you wore a black pair, you would definitely look even better.” Xu Qingfan grabbed her fist that was hitting him with his left hand.

"What do you mean, 'yes, yes'? Brother Fan, are you being sarcastic again?!" Xiao Ruanwen's right hand was being grabbed, but she had her free left hand to tickle his armpits.

"I didn't! Don't wrong an honest man!" Xu Qingfan seized the opportunity to trap her hand under his armpit.

At this moment, to outsiders, the two were in an extremely ambiguous position.

In situations like this, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is bound to happen.

"What are you doing?" A chilling voice rang out from behind.

Upon recognizing the voice, Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruanwen were both startled, and their playful antics froze.

Xia Xiaoxiao strode up from behind to the two of them, and when she saw the view in front of her, she was even more furious!
Xu Qingfan put his right arm around Xiao Ruanwen's shoulder, while his left hand completely grasped Ruanwen's soft hand and pressed down on Xiao Ruanwen's large conscience.

Xiao Ruanwen wrapped her left arm around Xu Qingfan's waist from behind, and then he tucked her under his arm.

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at Xu Qingfan, then at Xiao Ruanwen, and finally her gaze settled on the scoundrel's hand pressing down on Xiao Ruanwen's enormous, innocent hand. Xiao Ruanwen followed Xia Xiaoxiao's gaze until she finally looked down and realized that she had been taken advantage of by that scoundrel Xu Qingfan.

"Ah!!!" She suddenly sprang up and jumped behind Xia Xiaoxiao.

"It was Brother Fan who said it first, little Brother Fan is bullying me!" Soon, she pointed her Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger at Xu Qingfan.

Xia Xiaoxiao: ? ? ?

Xu Qingfan: ? ? ?

"What a coincidence! Let's go together. I'm going back for my afternoon nap." Xu Qingfan raised his hand halfway and then lowered it, awkwardly pushing Xia Xiaoxiao away together.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't say a word the whole time, keeping a straight face, but she still obediently followed along.

Xiao Ruanwen held Xia Xiaoxiao's hand, trying to avoid Xu Qingfan, as if there was a Chu River and Han border separating them.

"Fan-ge insulted me, calling me all boobs and no brains, that's why I hit him." This was her explanation for what had just happened, but she would never dare to say the real reason.

Xia Xiaoxiao remained silent, her eyes fixed on the road beneath her feet, her thoughts unreadable.

"That's right! You got such a simple question wrong. What else could you be but a big-breasted, brainless woman!"

"Xiaoxiao, let me tell you something. In math class today, the teacher asked a question: When does four minus one equal five? I said that if you subtract one angle from a quadrilateral, it equals five. But Ruanwen insisted that this was nonsense!"

Xu Qingfan didn't know what he was thinking, but on a whim, he helped Xiao Ruanwen cover up the lie.

Xiao Ruanwen was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself: [You, Fan-ge, I have to rack my brains to think before I lie, but you just blurt it out!]
"That's a fallacy to begin with. If you subtract one angle from a quadrilateral, it becomes five angles. Does that still mean it has five sides?" Xiao Ruanwen spoke with self-righteousness because she hadn't thought things through.

"No... wait a minute, okay?" Xu Qingfan was completely baffled by Xiao Ruanwen. A quadrilateral minus one corner is just five sides, isn't it?!

"If it's not five sides, then how many sides is it?"

Xia Xiaoxiao remained silent as always, but her gaze would occasionally drift to the two of them.

Xiao Ruanwen's palms were sweating nervously. Why hadn't she thought before she spoke? How was she going to cover up the lie now?

"Alright, alright, if you know you're all looks and no brains, then shut up." Fortunately, Xu Qingfan gave her a way out. Even though it was an insult, it still completed the loop of the lie she had just told!

"Hmph~" Xiao Ruanwen turned her head to the side; she was truly angry now!

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Xia Xiaoxiao's right hand had somehow landed on Xu Qingfan's waist and abdomen, and she twisted it forcefully.

"Hiss!" Xu Qingfan instantly wore a mask of pain.

But knowing he was in the wrong, he really couldn't bring himself to be angry with Xia Xiaoxiao.

From Xia Xiaoxiao's perspective, you and I have such an ambiguous relationship, yet you still try to seduce my best friend like this. The fact that you're not angry is already a testament to your self-cultivation!
"Let's hurry up, Xiaoyu, Wanning, and Yiyi have probably been waiting for a long time!" Xu Qingfan took Xia Xiaoxiao's hand and led the way.

[Ruan Wen wouldn't lie to me; things must be as they say.]
The next two days passed peacefully and uneventfully.

The last class on Friday.

"Next Monday is the first midterm exam since the start of the semester. To put it simply, this exam will test the students' progress over the past half semester. To put it more broadly, I don't know what to say. Anyway, everyone should study hard when you get back!"

A burst of laughter and applause erupted in the classroom. After the noise subsided, Guo Youcai continued, "Next up are the parent-teacher meeting, the school anniversary celebration, and the school sports meet. The sports meet will be held on the day of the school anniversary celebration, and the school will be open to the public. If any of you have family members who would like to visit the school, you can register with me when you come back next week."

That's all for now. I won't keep you from your holiday any longer. School's out!

As soon as Guo Youcai finished speaking, some of the students who had already prepared for the starting line immediately began to sprint.

See you all on Sunday.

"Brother Fan, please log in tonight! I'm going to carry you with my Kassadin mid lane!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, or we'll have to queue again to get into the game!" Wu Shichong grabbed Lai Chenglang's backpack and ran away.

As everyone left one by one, only a few people remained in the class after Xiao Ruanwen packed her schoolbag.

"Hmph~ If I finish reading all these books in my backpack, my midterm grades will definitely be higher than Fan Ge's!" Xiao Ruanwen used her thighs to hold the backpack together and managed to zip it up with difficulty.

Xu Qingfan rolled his eyes at her speechlessly: "Why didn't you bring a suitcase to pack?"

"Oh yeah~ My backpack is so heavy, I'll bring a suitcase for the final exams!" Xiao Ruanwen hunched over the moment she struggled to put on her backpack.

Xu Qingfan shook his head, tossed his schoolbag to her, and held it for her from behind.

"Phew~" Xiao Ruanwen instantly felt relaxed and said exaggeratedly, "Thank you, Brother Fan! Brother Fan, you're so strong, so amazing, and have such big muscles, how about you carry my backpack for me?"

"Hurry up." Xu Qingfan's tone was disdainful, but he still doted on her.

"Hehe~ Okay!" Xiao Ruanwen immediately took off her schoolbag and gave it to him, then carried Fan Ge's schoolbag on her own back.

Everyone quickly met at the top of the stairs on the second floor. Although Wu Lingyu, Xia Xiaoxiao, Zhang Yiyi, and Lin Wanning also brought a lot of books, their backpacks were not as stuffed as Xiao Ruanwen's.

Wu Lingyu came up behind Xu Qingfan and tried to lift him up, but goodness, he couldn't even lift him up with one hand.

"Ruan Wen, what did you bring back? Why is your backpack so heavy?" she asked.

"I didn't bring much. I just brought textbooks, workbooks, error notebooks, and reference books for each subject, and that's it." Xiao Ruanwen spread her hands, indicating that these were all for review.

"Ruan Wen, can you manage to look after so many?" Zhang Yi asked the question everyone wanted to ask.

“That’s how I studied in junior high,” Xiao Ruanwen said matter-of-factly.

"But in junior high, you only need to take six exams," Lin Wanning reminded him.

"Oh, I think so!" Xiao Ruanwen realized belatedly, but quickly smiled and said, "Hehe~ It's okay, it's not like I don't have Brother Fan!"

"Waaah~ Brother Fan, stop hitting me." After receiving two taps on the head, she hid behind Xia Xiaoxiao.

"You didn't bring a single book, while Ruan Wen brought so many, which means she brought yours too!" Xia Xiaoxiao still spoke up for her best friend at this crucial moment.

"That's right, that's right!" Xiao Ruanwen's eyes lit up upon hearing this; that made perfect sense!
"You don't deserve glasses?" Xu Qingfan simply retorted.

Ah, right!

Xiao Ruanwen then remembered this matter. She quickly realized that she could get glasses anytime, but she didn't have much time left to study.

"I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough. I need to study hard and pass the exam to surpass Brother Fan!"

"How about we go to the old house to study together on Saturday?"

Xiao Ruanwen's words immediately evoked memories of the girls studying for their high school entrance exams in the old house.

“Hehe~ Okay!” Lin Wanning was the first to respond.

“Okay.” Xia Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Me too." Wu Lingyu had originally planned to go home to see her parents this week, but since she had exams, she decided to go back next week.

“Old house, let’s review!” Zhang Yiyi stretched out her hand, and the others placed their hands on it.

Finally, he looked at Xu Qingfan, who was still standing in the same spot.

"Here it comes." Xu Qingfan smiled and had no choice but to place his hand on it as well.

"review!"

"Take it!"

Good luck on your midterm exams!

"The old house!"

There was no rehearsal beforehand, and people were shouting all sorts of things.

The six people stared at each other blankly, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha"
