I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 484. Can't be washed away, this is a real dog.
Xiao Ruanwen was driven to the brink of despair, but Xu Qingfan's decadent music continued.

"Ruan Wen."

Why do you always emphasize "Xiaoxiao"? Is it because you feel guilty?

"Why did you take me to Love Avenue last time? Wasn't it because you actually like me?"

As the man spoke, his right hand gradually gripped the girl's hand, lifting it against the wall.

Last time, Xu Qingfan got a hard slap on his left cheek from Xiao Ruanwen's vulva. This time, he's learned his lesson and will control her right hand first.

As for the girl's other left hand, just in case, he also took control of it.

"You and me... I didn't do anything wrong, why would I be guilty!"

"Let me go!"

Xiao Ruanwen was completely flustered at this moment, and she couldn't even explain herself whether she had been right about what Brother Fan had said, which was why she felt guilty.

Xu Qingfan naturally couldn't let go of her. He held the girl's left hand and slowly moved it around until it stopped at her heart.

He said, "Listen to yourself, if you weren't feeling guilty, why is your heart beating so fast, Ruan Wen?"

"I...it's hot!" Xiao Ruanwen was in a state of confusion, turning her head to the side to avoid looking at him.

Xu Qingfan pulled in his stomach and slowly moved his palm to his heart.

"Do you know that you always talk about Xiaoxiao in front of me? It really hurts me."

"You asked me last time if I liked Xiaoyu, if I liked Wanning, and if I liked Yiyi and you."

"I admit it, I like you all, but... why don't you ask me if the person I like even more is you?"

The man's face was full of melancholy, and his knuckles were white as he gripped Xiao Ruanwen's hand tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.

Xiao Ruanwen turned her head away again, her face a mixture of confusion, astonishment, shock, and smugness, staring blankly into Xu Qingfan's eyes.

Xu Qingfan resisted the urge to force a kiss and continued to deceive him, saying, "I'm not saying this to coerce you or to get your response."

"I just hope that you can understand my feelings."

"Ruan Wen, do you understand?"

Xiao Ruanwen felt as if countless bees were buzzing around her brain; apart from hearing the buzzing sound, she was like a computer that had crashed.

[Fan Ge's favorite person is me, and he likes me the most.]
Xu Qingfan continued to move closer, and the tips of their noses soon touched intimately, their lips and teeth only less than a fingernail's width apart.

Xiao Ruanwen gradually came to her senses, but perhaps worried that Fan Ge would suddenly kiss her, she was tense and on high alert.

"Whether Ruan Wen likes me or not, and regardless of whether I will be with Xiao Xiao in the future, I just hope..."

"I just hope that Ruan Wen, you won't say things like you're going to help Xiao Xiao when it's just the two of us, okay?"

Xu Qingfan recalled the scene of chasing a taxi in his past life, portraying the humble image in love so vividly that it would be a pity if he didn't go into film and make a name for himself.

Xiao Ruanwen wanted to speak several times, but she fell silent again because she didn't know what to say.

From childhood to adulthood, Xu Qingfan had always been a spirited and ambitious man in her eyes. The young girl had never seen him like this before, so humble and insignificant.

[Fan. Fan said I'm his favorite person, but he's already gone to the rooftop with Xiaoxiao!]
[what do I do.]
Even she herself had to admit that when she learned that Xu Qingfan's favorite person was her, Xiao Ruanwen was delighted, no, it would be more accurate to say she was overjoyed.

but.

So what can we do?

Xia Xiaoxiao had gone to the rooftop with Fan Ge several years before her. Even though she liked Fan Ge very much, it could only be said that they were destined to be apart.

[No matter what, I would never do anything to betray Xiaoxiao, so it's even more impossible for me to be with Fan Ge!]
Before Xiao Ruanwen could speak, the scoundrel spoke again.

"I see."

"I will never make things difficult for you again. I will keep my feelings for Ruan Wen buried in my heart forever."

"Don't worry, Ruanwen, I definitely won't put any pressure on you."

As Xu Qingfan spoke, he suddenly broke into a bitter laugh, a laugh that was even more unsightly than crying.

Xiao Ruanwen felt as if her heart had been stabbed several times. She wanted to tell Fan Ge the truth and that she liked him too.

But whenever she thought of Xia Xiaoxiao, all the words in her mind became unspeakable.

"Alright, I know everything, Ruanwen, you don't need to say anything more." Xu Qingfan gently covered the girl's mouth with his hand. Now that things had come to this point, the scoundrel was no longer worried that Xiao Ruanwen would slap his ass.

Fan Ge's warm smile made Xiao Ruanwen's heart tremble. She felt she would never forget that smile tonight.

She raised her left hand, which Xu Qingfan had just released, and involuntarily placed it on Fan Ge's face.

But realizing what she was doing, she quickly pulled her hand away.

"I...I understand. I promise I won't mention Xiaoxiao in front of you anymore." She felt guilty and lowered her head, not daring to look at Brother Fan.

Xu Qingfan knew that this was about enough for today. Making Xiao Ruanwen feel guilty was the first step, and then gradually sinking into depravity was a matter for later.

He released his right hand, which was clasped tightly with his own, and lowered the girl's hand again.

My arms are a little numb from holding them up for so long.

While they couldn't kiss on the lips, they could still kiss on the cheek. Taking advantage of Xiao Ruanwen's lowered head and lack of vigilance, the scoundrel tilted his head and gave her a light peck on the right cheek.

Xiao Ruanwen was stunned. How dare that stinky Fan-ge!
"It's normal for a brother to kiss his sister, right?" Xu Qingfan explained calmly.

I, Xiao Ruanwen, was speechless.

"Didn't Ruan Wen say she treated me like a brother? From now on, I will only treat Ruan Wen like a sister. There will never be any more transgressions between siblings."

The dog-man raised his hands and blinked as he assured him.

"Hmph, you better keep your word!" Xiao Ruanwen pouted, which was a way of accepting his explanation.

"Also, nothing is allowed tonight. You know what I mean!"

Xiao Ruanwen originally wanted to say that she was not allowed to talk about Xiao Xiao, but remembering what Brother Fan had just said, that he did not want her to talk about Xiao Xiao when they were alone, she listened to him.

"I'm not telling anyone about tonight's events," the scoundrel laughed.

He was even hoping that Xiao Ruanwen wouldn't reveal what happened tonight, since he had pulled off a clever move, making Xiao Ruanwen mistakenly believe that she was the person she liked the most.

Xu Qingfan had only asked her to ask if he liked her more, but Xiao Ruanwen didn't ask!
As for who this scoundrel likes the most, it's definitely whoever's by his side!
"And don't think you can fool me with sweet talk about marrying five wives. I still remember it all!" Xiao Ruanwen crossed her arms and climbed a few more steps, not daring to get too close to Brother Fan.

"."

Xu Qingfan was speechless for a moment. He had said so much, how come this stinky Ruan Wen was still thinking about this!

[What's there to ask? Of course I want to marry all five of you!]
"Ask, ask, ask. What's there to ask? Of course, it was just a joke with Auntie. It's not like ancient times with three palaces and six courtyards. How could you marry five wives?" His expression changed to one of being wronged, his face darkening as if he were embarrassed and angry.

"Hmph~ It was Fan-ge himself who said he liked all five of us. What normal person likes five people!" Xiao Ruanwen wouldn't let this matter go easily until she got to the bottom of it.

"No normal person would have five childhood sweethearts like me!"

"I just can't help liking you all, especially you, Xiao Ruanwen, what can I do about it!"

Xu Qingfan seemed to have given up, waving his hands as he spoke.

Xiao Ruanwen was instantly rendered silent.

Indeed, whose childhood and youth are like Xu Qingfan's, with five perfect childhood sweethearts!
[But how could you say something like that to my face!]
[Where's your face? Fan Ge, where's your face??]
"Ahem, Brother Fan, don't be anxious. I didn't say I was blaming you."

"That's right. You need to be more careful in your daily life and not become a slave to your desires. Marrying five wives is a pipe dream. Neither I, Xiaoxiao, Wanning, Yiyi, nor Xiaoyu would agree to it."

"What I mean is, Fan-ge, don't end up with nothing. Make a choice as soon as possible. No matter who you choose in the end, I will support you because I will always be your sister!"

Xiao Ruanwen stammered and said a lot. Unconsciously, her stance had changed from helping Xiao Xiao win over Xiao Xiao Fan Ge to "No matter who you choose in the end, I will support you".

For the first time, Xu Qingfan wanted to use the word "cute" to describe Xiao Ruanwen. The way the girl cautiously probed, afraid of saying the wrong thing, was extremely cute.

"Can I choose Ruan Wen too?" he asked with a smile.

"Of course... of course not!" Xiao Ruanwen almost blurted out her agreement.

She didn't know what to say, so she could only glare angrily at Brother Fan.

"Alright, it was just a joke, Ruan Wen." Xu Qingfan stopped smiling and turned his back to her.

Xiao Ruanwen felt a pang of pain in her heart. She felt that Fan Ge must be extremely disappointed at this moment, and the reason he was turning his back to her was simply because he didn't want her to see it.

As expected, when Xu Qingfan turned back, Xiao Ruanwen caught a glimpse of disappointment, but it was quickly replaced by that familiar smile.

[Fan-ge, you said you didn't want to ruin everyone's friendship, but I don't want to ruin my friendship with Xiaoxiao either. You can understand me, right?]
"Let's go, evening self-study is almost over." Xu Qingfan extended his hand in invitation.

Xiao Ruanwen gazed at him quietly, then suddenly smiled gently, like a spring breeze.

"Mmm!" She placed her hand in Xu Qingfan's, and once she held it, she refused to let go.

They've already said everything they could and needed to say.

As for what cannot be said, what should not be said, all those words could only be buried in a smile between the two of them.

When I returned to the classroom, there were only a few minutes left before evening self-study ended.

"Class monitor Fan, what did the teacher want with you guys? Why were you gone for so long?"

"Yes, the homeroom teacher just came into the classroom and saw that you two weren't in your seats, so she asked you where you went."

Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang engaged in a question-and-answer session, demonstrating the strong curiosity of the onlookers.

Xiao Ruanwen's heart skipped a beat. Before she could think of an explanation, Xu Qingfan spoke first.

He said, "It's nothing. The teacher wanted us to be tour guides for the school's centennial celebration. Later, Ruan Wen wasn't feeling well, so I accompanied her to the infirmary."

"What the hell?"

"Distinguished alumni will act as tour guides!"

Sure enough, the attention of the four people in the group was drawn to the previous topic, and no one cared why they took so long to go to the infirmary.

“Our alma mater was founded earlier than our Party, so there must be many famous alumni. However, I had to run 100 meters that day, so I declined.”

Xu Qingfan spread his hands and continued.

"No, Brother Fan, you're confused!" Wu Shichong pounded the table excitedly.

“That’s right! If becoming a tour guide can attract the attention of important people, wouldn’t that save us twenty years of detours? Why bother with studying at all!” Lai Chenglang said excitedly.

Because Xu Qingfan was usually quite low-key, the two of them were unaware that the school's most important person was right in front of them.

"It's more than twenty years! Brother Fan, you're so handsome. If you could catch the eye of a rich woman, you'd save yourself a lifetime of detours!"

"Um?"

The three female trainees in the group were immediately displeased and glared at Wu Shichong with murderous intent.

"Haha, just kidding, don't get excited, don't get excited, I was just joking." Wu Shichong immediately became honest.

"Students should act like students. They should study for the rise of China. Being so utilitarian is not good!" Xu Qingfan waved his hand and earnestly instructed.

Xiao Ruanwen's hand had somehow climbed onto his waist and twisted it without any regard for reason.

Xu Qingfan couldn't figure out what he had done to offend this young lady. He turned his head and saw Xiao Ruanwen baring her lower teeth at him.

[Wow, Fan is such a good liar, I wonder if what he just said was true or not.]
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruanwen tightened her grip again after loosening her hold.

"Ouch, you're still doing this!" Xu Qingfan slapped her hand away and rubbed his lower back.

"What do you mean, 'again'? What are you talking about, Brother Fan?" Lai Chenglang asked, puzzled, unaware of the subtle actions between the two under the table.

"It's nothing, a stinky mosquito was biting me just now, but I swatted it away," Xu Qingfan explained.

"Oh, there are a lot of mosquitoes in autumn, huh?" Wang Xuan agreed, but then stopped mid-sentence.

Are there mosquitoes in autumn?
The group barely had time to chat before the school bell rang.

As soon as get out of class ended, Xiao Ruanwen took Xu Qingfan's hand and walked outside. Xu Qingfan asked her what she was doing, but she didn't respond.

"Say!"

"Were you lying to me about what you just said upstairs?"

Upon reaching the stairwell, Xiao Ruanwen released her hand and sternly questioned her.

Xu Qingfan never expected that Xiao Ruanwen would become suspicious because of his skillful lying. Despite being full of question marks, he still held up three fingers and swore:

"Everything I just said is true. If I'm lying, I'm a dog!"

"Pfft, you always were!" Xiao Ruanwen rolled her eyes at him, then turned and left.

She was still willing to believe the oath Xu Qingfan had made, especially since Xu Qingfan hadn't actually lied to her.

[I only asked you to ask me if I liked you more, but I didn't say yes, so this obviously doesn't count as lying!]
[As for everything else, I truly consider Ruan Wen a younger sister. How can a sister I'm close to not be a younger sister?]
Xu Qingfan carefully reviewed the situation and, after confirming that he hadn't lied, let out a long breath.

After all, who would want to be a dog when they can be a decent human being?
The scoundrel shook his head and quickly gave chase.
