I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 495. A Prophecy Fulfilled

After a short rest at home, the six of them had to return to school the next day.

With the arrival of winter, unless it's absolutely necessary to go out, everyone wants to stay indoors and in bed 24 hours a day.

In the south, classrooms are drafty and students are constantly coming and going. In winter, being inside one is almost like being in an ice cave.

Therefore, starting a few weeks ago, Xu Qingfan and his five classmates stopped going back to school for evening self-study on Sunday nights.

"The National Meteorological Center predicts that a new and stronger cold air mass will arrive starting tomorrow, which will be the strongest cold air mass since the second half of this year."

"The general public should take precautions against the cold and keep warm."

After the weather forecast replay ended, it was time for them to go to sleep.

"Ha~ It'll only be three degrees tomorrow morning, how am I going to get up? I'll be so glad I don't have to go to school," Xiao Ruanwen said with a yawn.

“You two can at least sleep together at night, but it’s even worse for me to sleep alone.” Xu Qingfan glanced at Lin Wanning, his implication clear.

Lin Wanning flashed a fake smile, revealing two rows of teeth.

In this awful weather of three or four degrees Celsius, unless you're sleeping with Xu Qingfan in your arms at night, it takes a lot of willpower to sneak into bed in the middle of the night.

"Brother Qingfan, come sleep with us like ducks," she jokingly invited.

"Okay," the scoundrel readily agreed.

"Dream on!" Before anyone else could react, Xiao Ruanwen was the first to shout excitedly.

"If you don't mind the dirt, just bring Xiaobai to your bed to sleep." Xia Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, thinking he was dreaming of sleeping with them.

"It's not like I was hugging you two, okay? Okay, just kidding, don't get excited." Seeing that the two women were about to get up and beat someone up, Xu Qingfan quickly waved his hand and changed his words.

"Humph~"

The two hummed in the same way. As the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's company," and Xiao Ruanwen also followed Xia Xiaoxiao's bad example.

Seeing that Xu Qingfan was about to get up, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi removed their hands from his warm abs and lifted the blanket. No one noticed their cheating.

"Get some rest. If you turn on the heating, remember to set the timer, otherwise you'll feel awful when you wake up the next day." Xu Qingfan tugged at his pants to prevent the girls from seeing anything they shouldn't.

"Okay, goodnight, Brother Qingfan!"

Goodnight, brother!

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi exchanged a smile, like dominoes that had been overturned, their bodies tilting in the same direction.

After Xiao Ruanwen turned off the TV screen, the girls returned to the third floor one after another.

Wu Lingyu went into the kitchen to check the timer on the steamer again. After turning off the living room light, she jogged to catch up with Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi, who were still waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs.

Time for bed~

"Ah."

Before they knew it, the five-person team had become: Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruanwen shared one blanket, while Zhang Yiyi, Lin Wanning, and Wu Lingyu shared another.

Silent all night.

The next day.

When the alarm clock rang precisely at 6:30, the heating, which was set to run at that time, had already been turned on half an hour in advance.

The bedroom temperature was a pleasant 20 degrees Celsius, so getting out of bed was no longer a difficult task.

After turning off the alarm clock, Wu Lingyu removed Lin Wanning's thigh from her buttocks and quietly got out of bed.

Aside from Lin Wanning and Xiao Ruanwen still being in bed, Xia Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yiyi also got up two minutes after the alarm clock rang.

The group changed clothes on the bed. After Xia Xiaoxiao took off her pajamas, her straight, slender, snow-white, and flawless legs were exposed to the air.

Even though the five girls slept together every day, their pursuit of beautiful things still made them take a second look at things at this time.

Xia Xiaoxiao put on her thermal underwear and then a pair of school uniform pants. On top, she wore a long-sleeved shirt, a sweater, and a down jacket.

In winter, the school does not require students to wear their school uniforms as the outermost layer, so it is acceptable not to wear the uniform on the upper body.

Wu Lingyu was the first to change her clothes. When she caught a glimpse of Xia Xiaoxiao wearing a hand-knitted turtleneck sweater, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiaoxiao, is that a new sweater you're wearing? I've never seen you wear one before."

Xia Xiaoxiao was secretly delighted, thinking that someone had finally asked, so all the extra time she spent tidying her sleeves wouldn't have been wasted.

"This? This was knitted by my aunt. She only started knitting it last month, so she only knitted two pieces." She pointed to her clothes, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Lin Wanning and Xiao Ruanwen, who were still lazing in bed, to hear clearly.

really.

Upon hearing that Xia Xiaoxiao was wearing a new sweater knitted by her aunt, Lin Wanning and Xiao Ruanwen, who were still lazing in bed, were suddenly jolted awake from their slumber.

Lin Wanning rubbed his eyes, then focused his gaze intently on the clothes.

"This was hand-knitted by Fan Ge's mother. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was bought from a specialty store. It's so beautiful," Xiao Ruanwen said with envy.

Xia Xiaoxiao simply smiled politely and did not respond.

After confirming that everyone had seen it, she calmly zipped up her pants and turned to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Lin Wanning pouted as she watched Xia Xiaoxiao's retreating figure, her face clearly showing her desire.

She got up, picked up her clothes, put on her slippers, and left the bedroom, intending to crawl into Qingfan's bed for comfort!
At 6:50, the six people sat in the living room drinking tea and eating breakfast.

In winter, morning reading is postponed to 7:10, so they can stay at home at their leisure and leave at 7:00.

After breakfast, they put on gloves and scarves, covering themselves up completely, before the six of them went out together.

The weather was still cold, but the gentle sunlight felt warm on my skin for no reason.

"Cough cough cough, it's so cold~" Lin Wanning put his hands in his pockets and propped up his arms.

Xu Qingfan immediately understood, slipped his hands behind her back, and placed both palms in her pockets, pushing the girl along.

The two's childish behavior was clearly not new, and even Xia Xiaoxiao said she was used to it, because Xiao Ruanwen was also doing the same thing from behind.

Zhang Yi smiled and used her phone to record her interesting daily life.

In last year's Apple photography contest, a few casual snapshots from everyday life made it to the finals, but unfortunately they lost to a photo with the theme "Even the mentally challenged have their day".

"I wish we didn't have to run during the long break, it's so tiring," Lin Wanning said coquettishly, pouting her lips.

"If you don't exercise properly, Wan Ning will need someone to carry her when she climbs mountains again." Xu Qingfan poked her forehead with his chin.

"Hehe~ Brother Qingfan is carrying a duck." Lin Wanning raised her head and smiled as she looked at him.

Xu Qingfan glared at the girl and pushed her to speed across the school gate.

The broadcast above their heads suddenly stopped, and the group immediately sensed that something was terribly wrong.

"Oh dear~ I'm going to be late." Xu Qingfan glanced at the time on the guardhouse; it was almost time for morning reading.

No sooner had he finished speaking than four figures rushed past them and into the school.

"Everyone, run!"

"Go back and wash the dishes at lunchtime if you're late!"

Xu Qingfan and Lin Wanning stared blankly at the four people running away, then exchanged a glance.

next moment.

"Wait a minute, we haven't gotten on the bus yet!" "Wait for us, okay?"

The two remained in their combined mecha form, chasing after each other.

As expected, all six of them were late.

When Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruanwen finally returned to the classroom, panting, the homeroom teacher hadn't arrived yet, so not seeing her meant they weren't late.

Not many students in the class were seriously reading aloud in the morning; half were sleeping, and a third of the remaining half were eating breakfast: fried rice, steamed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks.
There were also essential oils, liniment, and Yunnan Baiyao; the enclosed classroom smelled of all sorts of things.

Xu Qingfan felt a little uncomfortable when he first sat down, so he opened the window a little to let in some fresh air. After a few minutes, the smell seemed to disappear, completely blending into his nose.

"Brother Fan, close the window! It's freezing!" Wu Shichong said, hugging his chest and shrinking his neck.

The window was blowing directly on him, and in less than a few minutes, he was completely awakened by the cold.

After Xu Qingfan closed the window tightly, Wu Shichong was still trembling and his jaw was chattering, whether it was psychological or not.

He glanced at the clothes Wu Shichong was wearing: a summer school uniform, a sweater, and a thin windbreaker over it. That was it.

If you leave the collar of your school uniform peeking out over your sweater and then wear a trench coat over it, you'll still look quite handsome if you don't shake it out.

Unfortunately, he was a greyhound.

"I'm telling you, can't you learn from Lai Chenglang? He's wearing seven or eight layers of clothes, including two school uniform jackets." Xu Qingfan shook his head and tossed him the few hand warmers he had left in his drawer.

"Hey, thanks, Brother Fan." Wu Shichong breathed out a sigh of relief and picked up the hand warmer with trembling hands.

“One of them is his. He prioritizes style over warmth, that’s how it is.” Lai Chenglang didn’t feel ashamed at all. Even though he was wrapped up like a dumpling, he remained confident.

"Hey! I'm not cold." If it weren't for his chattering as he spoke, everyone would probably have believed him.

"puff"

The three girls in the group couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Wu Shichong was quite happy to be able to make the beauties smile, and he felt a great sense of fulfillment.

"What are you laughing at? I was just faking it. Just kidding. I take cold showers at home in winter." Wu Shichong straightened his back and said after the hand warmer started to heat up.

Unfortunately, his cool demeanor only lasted three seconds.

"Fan-ge, don't worry about him. He's got his eye on a girl from the next class and wants to dress up to bump into her," Lai Chenglang said, revealing his grievances.

Upon hearing that there was some gossip to hear, Xiao Ruanwen, Wang Xuan, and Chen Qi all perked up their ears.

"Who is it? Who is it? Are your grades good?" Xiao Ruanwen asked impatiently.

During her innocent student days, the only questions asked were about appearance and grades. Asking about someone's appearance was considered impolite, so she could only ask about their grades.

"It's the class monitor from the next class, the one with the two pigtails, you know the class monitor."

"I don't know where this kid got in from, he added me on QQ without saying a word, and we chatted for almost half a month before he told me."

Lai Chenglang pounded his palms, as if he were cursing the heavens for being blind and letting this kid get involved.

"Get lost! What's wrong with me? Apart from Fan Ge, who is indeed a little bit more handsome than me, I'm the second most handsome in our class!" Wu Shichong slapped him.

"vomit!"

Have you no shame?!

"Cough cough cough."

The two clowns started fighting on the spot until Xu Qingfan coughed tactically. Everyone immediately opened their books to a random page and started reading aloud along with the scattered reading voices from the class.

Guo Youcai probably found the smell in the classroom unpleasant, so after standing at the door for a few minutes, he opened the front and back doors and went back inside.

Not long after he left, the student sitting near the door immediately locked the door again. As the saying goes, ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring. How could the student sitting near the door not know whether the classroom is cold or not?

Xiao Ruanwen covered her mouth and nose with a book and continued to gossip, "Hey, how did you two meet?"

Wu Shichong's desire to share was instantly aroused. He closed his eyes slightly to savor the moment, and after opening them again, he lowered his voice and said, "Weren't we doing cleaning the week before last? Lai Chenglang forced himself to play ball instead."

"Get lost! I just won at rock-paper-scissors!" Lai Chenglang punched him in annoyance, trying to explain himself.

Wu Shichong ignored him and continued, "Then after I finished mopping the floor, I went to the toilet to get some water, and guess what? When I came back, Guan Xintao was sitting in my seat looking all fresh and clean."

The group exchanged glances, and although they were completely confused, they chose to listen to him continue.

“I asked her what was wrong. At first, she was shy when she saw me. She explained to me that the view from my spot was especially beautiful.”

"Then she took the initiative to add me on QQ, and that's how we started chatting."

Wu Shichong emphasized the word "proactive".

"Awesome." Xu Qingfan gave a thumbs up, feeling like he had forgotten something.

"Awesome." Seeing this, the others also gave him a thumbs up.

"Heh, it's nothing special." Wu Shichong waved his hand dismissively, appearing nonchalant on the surface, but secretly he was overjoyed.

Another few minutes passed.

"I don't see anything interesting looking out the window from this angle," Lai Chenglang muttered to himself. Damn it, he should have deliberately lost the rock-paper-scissors game that day.

"You don't know anything!" Wu Shichong said smugly.

What have I forgotten?
Xu Qingfan stared blankly at his Chinese textbook, feeling as if he had forgotten something very important.

The thirty minutes of morning reading passed by quickly.

The first class on Monday was "Death English," taught by an elderly teacher whose voice was so awful that Xu Qingfan didn't even want to talk about it—it was practically a lullaby.

Fortunately, Xu Qingfan had a foundation from his doctoral studies in his previous life, and he had been doing rehabilitation training all these years, so it didn't matter whether he listened to English classes or not.

Just as Xu Qingfan was drifting off to sleep, unable to distinguish between dream and reality, a hurried voice suddenly shattered his sweet dream and broke the lifeless classroom atmosphere.

"Brother Wanning twisted her ankle, quickly carry her to the infirmary!"

Many students in the class were suddenly jolted awake, including Xu Qingfan.

Before he could even think, Zhang Yiyi's voice, almost crying, came again: "Wanning, Wanning twisted her ankle, brother, come quick!"

Xu Qingfan instantly felt a surge of energy rush to the top of his head, all sleepiness vanished, and he jumped up and rushed out of the classroom.

Soon, Xu Qingfan and Zhang Yiyi disappeared from the corridor.

The farce came quickly and went even faster; from Zhang Yiyi's appearance to Xu Qingfan's departure, it took no more than ten seconds.

Before the English teacher could react, Xiao Ruanwen was the second to stand up.

"Teacher, I... I'm going to check on Brother Fan. I'm sorry." After bowing slightly, she ran out without the teacher's permission.

Even now, the English teacher is still completely bewildered.

"Well, there was a slight mishap. Let's resume the lesson. Does anyone remember where the teacher was just now?"

Why was the answer to question eight "boy"?

Yes, question eight.
