I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 47. A Peaceful New Year
Merry Christmas Eve, Brother Fan!

"Merry Christmas Eve!"

"This is for your brother Fan!"

"."

Back in the classroom, as soon as he sat down, the female classmates, as if they had planned it beforehand, all came over with beautifully made greeting cards to give to Xu Qingfan.

"Thank you, thank you." In no time, Xu Qingfan's hands were full of colorful cards, and the table was covered with fruits and snacks.

Xu Qingfan was completely baffled. It was Christmas Eve, but the elementary school students were all busy playing in the mud and watching cartoons; they wouldn't be celebrating any foreign holidays.

For example, on the boys' side, nobody takes Christmas Eve seriously at all. They're still discussing the various plots of Blue Cat's 3000 Questions in the dorm as usual.

The boys in the class all looked at them with surprise and envy, and then curiously inquired about it when their group members returned.

He hurriedly stuffed everything into his backpack. Seeing his three group members secretly laughing, Xu Qingfan knew perfectly well that they were behind it all.

He glared at Lin Wanning with a serious expression, pinching her cheek with his small hand; the soft, pink flesh felt even better. "Tell me! What happened?"

Lin Wanning stuck out her tongue and raised her hands in surrender: "Wanning was clearly involved in what happened last time, so why did you have to take the blame yourself? Brother Qingfan is a big idiot!"

Xu Qingfan knew she was referring to the previous public reprimand.

When Guan Bianyue led the principal to the class to find the students, Xu Qingfan immediately stood up and admitted that he had planned it all. His thinking was simple: a public reprimand meant nothing to college students, but it was a bolt from the blue for elementary school students. Since he didn't care, it was best for him to accept the blame.

To everyone's surprise, after Xu Qingfan stood up, Lin Wanning also stood up: "Me too, Ningning participated too!" she said.

After that, Xiao Ruanwen, Xia Xiaoxiao, and Zhang Yiyi also stood up, and then more and more students stood up until the whole class stood up.

For a moment, Xu Qingfan was genuinely moved, and then he was taken away by Guan Bianyue and the principal.

"Thank you, Ningning! So this is a surprise you arranged?" Xu Qingfan patted the little girl's head and asked with a smile.

"Hehe! Ningning saw this on a TV series. On Christmas Eve, you should send a greeting card to the person you like!" Lin Wanning said proudly.

Xu Qingfan could guess which TV series Lin Wanning was referring to: the Korean drama Winter Sonata. Since its introduction to mainland China, coupled with its heartbreaking theme song "From the Beginning to Now," it has dominated the charts on every stereo and television set in every street and alley across the country.

Although he's mentally an adult, Xu Qingfan was still deeply moved to receive so many greeting cards at once. "Thank you all!"

"Team leader, this is for you. Thank you for tutoring me in math." Chen Qiuyue was the first to hand out her greeting card.

Zhang Yi handed him her handmade greeting card without saying a word, but the smile on her face spoke volumes.

"This is a greeting card that Yi Yi and I made together. It's for you, Brother Qingfan!" Lin Wanning also took out the greeting card she had carefully prepared from the drawer.

After receiving Lin Wanning's card, Xu Qingfan had collected all the greeting cards from the girls in the class.

He carefully stored the greeting cards from Zhang Yiyi and Lin Wanning in the drawer, while he secretly stuffed Chen Qiuyue's into his schoolbag, waiting to open them together when he had time.

Xu Qingfan first opened the card Zhang Yiyi had given him. As soon as the folded card was unfolded, a three-dimensional little tree appeared in the center, with Zhang Yiyi's delicate handwriting on it:

I want to hold your hand like this and never let go.

Can love remain forever pure and without sorrow?

I want to take you cycling.

I want to watch baseball with you.

[No worries like this]

[Singing as we go]

Xu Qingfan smiled faintly. He remembered mentioning to them during a chat that his favorite song was Zhou Binglun's "Simple Love," and he hadn't expected Zhang Yiyi to remember. He then opened the greeting card Lin Wanning had given him. The little girl's message was simple, her childish handwriting reading: "Brother Qingfan is the best!"

Xu Qingfan's heart skipped a beat, and a series of images suddenly flashed through his mind: the crabapple tree, the shrine maiden's outfit, the pink-haired girl, the deep well, and the end of the world.
“Sakura is the best!” Dead memories attacked his brain.

Jiangnan is just a lousy writer, he doesn't know anything about dragons. Xu Qingfan suddenly had the idea of ​​intercepting the other party.

But thinking about it, it's fine. Copying the Martial Soul Continent is alright, but as for the Dragon Clan, he doesn't have such good writing skills.

Receiving gifts is a momentary pleasure, but returning them is a nightmare. After emptying both pockets and racking his brains to come up with a bunch of blessings, Xu Qingfan finally managed to give a gift back to each of the girls who gave him greeting cards yesterday.

No wonder everyone says that scumbags are most afraid of holidays. Xu Qingfan has truly experienced this. He has to rack his brains to give gifts to a few ordinary female classmates. If he had to date several girlfriends, he would be completely drained!

[No, I deserve to die! Why did I have such thoughts?] Xu ​​Qingfan raised his hand and smacked himself on the head.

"Xu Qingfan! What are you daydreaming about? Get back to rehearsing!" Guan Bianyue walked over and glared at him.

"My bad, my bad, I'm sorry." He scratched his head awkwardly.

The New Year's Eve party is just around the corner, and each grade has to put on five performances. Xu Qingfan's class successfully passed the first round of eliminations and can participate in the final New Year's Eve party.

After taking elective courses for almost a semester, many students in the class had mastered certain musical instrument skills. Guan Bianyue found these students, formed a small band, and even paid out of his own pocket to find a music arranger to help with rehearsals, playing Mr. Luo Dayou's "Childhood".

Because they were short of a drummer, Guan Bianyue thought Xu Qingfan had a strong learning ability, so she assigned him to the job.

"One last rehearsal!"

"On the banyan tree by the pond, cicadas are chirping, heralding the arrival of summer."

"Only butterflies perch on the swings by the playground."

"."

"Xiaoxiao, look, it's Xiaoxiao!" The camera moved to the lead singers Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruanwen, and parent Qu Linjing clapped her hands excitedly.

"When did this brat learn to play drums and gongs?" Yao Jinping laughed when she captured Xu Qingfan playing the drums with great enthusiasm.

"The last time I heard this song was when I was in middle school. Now my child is in elementary school."

"Haha, I'm getting old!"

An old song suddenly evoked sadness and nostalgia among the parents and teachers in the audience.

When the melody transitioned, Xiao Ruanwen, following the pre-arranged plan, shouted into the microphone, "Shall we all sing together?"

Nobody knows why the sun always sets behind the mountains.

"No one can tell me if there are immortals living in the mountains."

The sparse singing from the audience gradually became more and more unified, and by the third line, the entire square was immersed in the ocean of the song "Childhood".

"The class that won the Special Prize at the 2002 New Year's Eve Gala of Experimental Primary School is Class 16 of Grade 1! Their performance was the song 'Childhood'!"

"Teacher Guan!"

"Teacher Guan!"

"."

Amidst the cheers and jeers of all the students, 2002 quietly passed by.
