I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 475. Xia Xiaoxiao: I don't plan to date in high school or college.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question. Do we count as a couple?" Seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao was 'smug' and didn't answer, Xu Qingfan patted her.

"What? What couple!"

"You're a genius and you're a couple!"

Xia Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze, immediately pulled her hand away, and jumped back three meters away from Xu Qingfan.

She put her hands in front of her, forcing herself to remain calm as she looked at Xu Qingfan and emphasized, "Xu Qingfan, don't even think about it!"

After watching Xia Xiaoxiao's performance, Xu Qingfan, even though he had expected it, still breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on his understanding of girls, Xu Qingfan knew that the more he said this, the more Xia Xiaoxiao would deny it.

Just like their first kiss on the rooftop, what did Xia Xiaoxiao say back then? She said, "I kissed you to thank you for your birthday present, don't overthink it!"

Of course, even though he was 99% sure, he still had a 1% worry that Xia Xiaoxiao might not play by the rules.

"Really? Xu Qingfan, you think so too? That's great! Let's go home and tell your aunt and uncle right now!" If Xia Xiaoxiao replied like this, Xu Qingfan would be in real trouble.

Fortunately, everything that is happening now is under the control of that scoundrel.

Xu Qingfan took a big step forward, and Xia Xiaoxiao also took a big step back.

"If you back up any further, you'll hit a telephone pole!" He took a few quick steps and grabbed Xia Xiaoxiao's arm, not giving her any more chance to back up.

Seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao was still trying to pretend, he interrupted her, "No, why are you so excited? If you're not a couple, then you're not. Why are you so excited?"

"I...I didn't get excited at all." Xia Xiaoxiao turned her head to the side, determined to deny it.

"No, didn't you ask us what kind of relationship it is when we hold hands like this? I asked you if we're a couple. If you think we're not, then we're not. Why are you making such a fuss?" Xu Qingfan tapped her on the head.

"I...I...humph." Xia Xiaoxiao stammered a few times, wanting to retort, but couldn't find a good reason for it.

"I wasn't being loud at all!" Unable to defend herself against what came before, the arrogant girl chose to refute Xu Qingfan's later words.

"No, no, it was my fault for being so loud, it was all my fault, I mistook a father and daughter for lovers!" Xu Qingfan shook his head and said as he pulled her along.

"That's what it is."

"Xu Qingfan!"

"I'll bite you to death!"

Xia Xiaoxiao was wondering why the stinky dog ​​was suddenly so easy to talk to, but it turned out that the big one was behind her.

She grabbed Xu Qingfan's arm and bit down hard, which looked painful, but actually only left a shallow tooth mark on the stinky dog's arm.

"Watch your image, lady. We're still on the street." Xu Qingfan whispered a reminder as more and more people stopped to watch them.

"Who's your older sister? I'm your mother!" Xia Xiaoxiao glared at him first, then looked around and realized that there were indeed many passersby watching them. Her face flushed red instantly.

"If you know that, why don't you hurry up and leave!" She grabbed the dog's hand and pulled him away from the place.

After running several hundred meters, the two slowly stopped.

Xia Xiaoxiao was only slightly out of breath. After shaking off his hand, she said, "Please don't hold my hand in public anymore, unless you acknowledge me as your mother!"

Seeing Xia Xiaoxiao's proud expression, Xu Qingfan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, as he still had to save face for the girl.

After all, Xia Xiaoxiao said it's not allowed in public, which means it's okay in private.

Xu Qingfan's only comment on this was: Xia Xiaoxiao, who was strong-willed all her life.

"Why are you taking this so seriously? We've been childhood sweethearts, what's wrong with holding hands? Wan Ning and the others don't say anything." He retorted, pretending to be in the wrong.

Xia Xiaoxiao really wanted to say, "They can't either," but she was afraid that Xu Qingfan would retort, "Why should you tell me what to do?" which would make her lose face.

"It was okay when I was little, but now that I'm grown up, it's not suitable!" Xia Xiaoxiao said the last three words one by one.

"Hey~ I'll hold your hand, I'll hold your hand!" The scoundrel suddenly grabbed Xia Xiaoxiao's hand, not giving the girl a chance to speak, and pulled her to continue running.

Xia Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at the back of the stinky dog's head, a faint smile appearing on her face.

On the way from taking the elevator to home, Xu Qingfan was pinched more than ten times by Xia Xiaoxiao, but the scoundrel didn't cry out in pain once, and he didn't let go of her hand.

"If you're so capable, then keep holding my hand." Seeing that they had already reached their doorstep, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly became unhurried.

But what kind of shameless man is he? He would never take such a trivial matter to heart.

"Hey~ you didn't bring your keys? Then I'll open the door." He said, naturally letting go of Xia Xiaoxiao's hand, taking out his keys from his pocket, and opening the door in one smooth motion.

"Mom, we're back!" Xu Qingfan shouted into the house as usual after opening the door.

Xia Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and followed him inside.

"Hey~ Why are you guys up so early today? Has Xiaoyu already gone home?"

Yao Jinping came out of the kitchen, thinking she had forgotten the time. She glanced at the wall clock and confirmed it was just before 5:30. "Auntie!"

"Xiaoyu has already taken the bus home. We didn't go out this week, so we came back relatively early."

After changing her shoes, Xia Xiaoxiao ran towards Yao Jinping. She looked into the kitchen but her mother wasn't there.

"Oh, is that so? Jingjing made an appointment with Yuemin to get her hair done. I just dyed my hair last week, so I didn't go." She explained while helping Xia Xiaoxiao take off her schoolbag.

"Oh, okay, Auntie, I'll cook with you today!" Xia Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.

Among the mothers, Zhang Chunxue and Wen Wanqing were busy with their careers, Li Meijuan rarely saw her husband in Hong Kong, and Yao Jinping also had her husband to accompany her. Therefore, Lin Jing and Zhao Yuemin became very good friends.

Firstly, Lin Jing and Zhao Yuemin live close by; secondly, they both have a lot of free time; and thirdly, their situations are quite similar. Not to mention, Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruanwen are each other's best friends. It's only natural that the two mothers can get along.

"There's a parent-teacher conference on Sunday. Who's going, you or my dad?" Xu Qingfan asked, catching the schoolbag that Yao Jinping tossed to him with one hand.

"parent meeting?"

"Is it during the day or in the afternoon?" Yao Jinping asked, pausing for a moment.

"Auntie's class starts in the afternoon, from 4 pm to 6 pm, which avoids our school time," Xia Xiaoxiao replied from the side.

"What, Mom, you want to have another get-together?" Xu Qingfan saw right through his mother's thoughts. She kept saying she wanted to have a get-together, but she really just wanted to find people to chat with, play mahjong, and talk about parenting.

"How could it be again? The last gathering was so long ago!" Yao Jinping glared at him.

Xu Qingfan recalled that the last time everyone gathered together was during their housewarming party in the summer after junior high school, which was in July.

“That’s quite a while. Are you eating at home or at the Licheng Hotel? I’ll call and make a reservation now.” He nodded and said.

"What's so good about food outside? It's expensive, unhygienic, and doesn't taste good at all. Of course, we should cook at home!" Yao Jinping suddenly clapped her hands, seemingly having an idea.

She took off her apron, put it on Xia Xiaoxiao, and said, "Xiaoxiao, can you watch the ribs stewing inside for me? I'm going to find my phone and let everyone know in advance."

Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance. He shrugged helplessly, while Xia Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose, glared at him, and turned to go into the kitchen to busy herself.

Xu Qingfan tossed Xia Xiaoxiao's schoolbag onto the sofa and followed her into the kitchen to help.

"Do you think my mom's dyed hair looks good?" he asked casually as he put on his apron.

"Of course Auntie is beautiful!" Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him, not understanding what the stinky dog ​​meant by asking that question.

Suspicion arose within her, and she leaned back to glance at the door again, making sure Yao Jinping hadn't returned before asking, "Why are you asking this?"

"Why don't you dye your hair too, and turn it red?" Xu Qingfan came up behind Xia Xiaoxiao and helped her tie her hair up with his hands.

Xia Xiaoxiao was startled by his sudden action. He was genuinely afraid that Xu Qingfan would do something inappropriate in the kitchen. Surprisingly, he was also a little excited.
"Godly gold!"

"Why dye your hair when you're still in school?"

She reached behind her head and slapped away Xu Qingfan's hand that was tying her hair.

Xu Qingfan sniffed the girl's fragrance. He couldn't go any further; Kun'er was getting restless.

He stepped to the side, suppressing the urge to hug Xia Xiaoxiao from behind.

"I was just saying, I just think you would look really good with red hair."

“White and pink look good too,” the dog-man added.

"I won't dye it! I don't care what you think, I care what I think! I think black hair looks great!" Seeing the stinky dog ​​leave behind her, Xia Xiaoxin felt both relieved and a little lost.

"Whatever you want," Xu Qingfan said, ending the conversation with a single sentence.

Before Xia Xiaoxiao could think of a new topic, the jerk suddenly spoke up: "Xia Xiaoxiao, you're not planning to date in high school or college, are you?"

"what?"

"Of course!"

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned by his question, and her answer almost came out off the cuff.

“Okay, I understand.” Xu Qingfan nodded, and this time he was truly silent.

Xia Xiaoxiao: ? ? ?

[No, what do you understand? You understand?]
[You don't understand anything, Xu Qingfan, are you an idiot?!]
[Ugh, this stinky, deadbeat dog is driving me crazy!]
On the surface, Xia Xiaoxiao remained calm as always, but in her heart, a huge storm was brewing.

[Why couldn't he have asked me separately? First, ask if I planned to date in high school, and I'd say no, then ask about college, and I'd say I'd think about it. Shouldn't it have been like this?!]
[We were just talking about dyeing our hair, and suddenly she's asking if we want to date in high school or college? Who asks questions like that?!]
Xia Xiaoxiao was speechless, she was so angry at Xu Qingfan.

She just wasn't planning to date in high school, who said she wasn't planning to date in college either!

Xu Qingfan: You said it! (Plays recording)
Xia Xiaoxiao: Aa ...
