I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 523 523 Confession!

Chapter 523. Confessing!

After "Everyone Chooses C" ended, the students' threshold suddenly rose a lot, so watching the following programs was like watching bland soup, and they could no longer feel any excitement.

The mother and several girls lingered in the Class 10 formation, chatting and laughing as they watched the performance. This group naturally attracted the attention of many classmates.

And to be honest, watching beautiful women is more interesting than watching performances on stage.

"Brother Fan, are your families so familiar with each other?" After Xu Qingfan was "squeezed out" of the chat, Wu Shichong came up to him curiously.

"Pretty much, we've known each other for many years and often have meals together," Xu Qingfan nodded in agreement.

"Wow, I'm so envious of you. Why don't any of my parents' friends have daughters? Otherwise, I would have a childhood sweetheart too!" Wu Shichong said with envy.

Xu Qingfan looked at him, thought for a moment, and then said, "Is it possible that it's just because someone else's daughter isn't pretty, and you mistook her for someone from our village, someone from my neighborhood, or someone your parents' friend's daughter, and you're not familiar with her?"

"Hahaha!" Lai Chenglang thought his summary was very insightful and couldn't help but clap his hands. "That's the truth!"

Wu Shichong pursed his lips, thinking about it, and it really was true. Did he not have any female playmates when he was a child? But back then, he thought girls were too troublesome and went to watch Superman by himself.

"But even if all five of them are this good-looking, it's impossible for them all to be so good-looking," Wu Shichong muttered to himself, glancing behind him.

Xu Qingfan smiled without saying a word. What could he say? He'd been a scumbag since he was a kid, deliberately collecting them.
In the second half, the performances became like monotonous and tedious work on an assembly line, and the program content was also highly homogenized. Xu Qingfan listened to the most popular song at the moment, "Because of Love," at least three times, whether it was a solo, a duet, or a band performance.

Everyone went on and off the stage according to the schedule, and the host no longer spent a lot of time interacting with the audience, leaving immediately after the announcement.

The advantage is that the performance schedule is faster, and the time people spend freezing in the square is shorter.

After 10 p.m., some students who were not interested in the New Year's Eve party had already carried their chairs and left the square.

There aren't many students like this; they make up about one-tenth of the total number.

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi's skit performance went fairly well. The realistic props attracted the attention of many students present, but it was obviously impossible for them to be so exciting that the students applauded and cheered.

"Xiaoxiao, we need to go backstage to get ready!"

"Hello Auntie."

Just as Xia Xiaoxiao was about to get up to prepare, the four classmates who were performing with her ran into the formation of Class 10.

"Keep it up!" Lin Jing patted her head and encouraged her.

"Ok!"

Xia Xiaoxiao was looking at the flowers Lin Jing was holding, still wondering how to subtly suggest Xu Qingfan to go up and give them to her, when Liu Yue said, "Brother Fan, we're waiting for you to give Xiaoxiao the flowers, don't forget!"

"Haha, that's right!"

"Remember to send flowers, Brother Fan!"

"Send flowers! Send flowers!"

After Liu Yue started it, the other three immediately chimed in.

Xia Xiaoxiao had her hands in her pockets, seemingly nonchalant, but those who knew her well could see the cunning glint in her eyes.

"Xiao Fan is going to give Xiao Xiao flowers?" Lin Jing blinked, looking at the two of them with amusement.

“Yes, Auntie, Brother Fan promised yesterday that he would go on stage to give Xiaoxiao flowers during her performance!” Liu Yue didn’t know that Lin Jing was Xia Xiaoxiao’s mother, and said without thinking.

"Then Mom will give the flowers to Xiao Fan?" Lin Jing looked into Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes, smiled, and handed the flowers to Xu Qingfan.

[Mom?] Liu Yue and the other three were shocked by Lin Jing's address and didn't dare to stir things up anymore. They just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Oh, Mom, you decide for yourself. I'm going backstage to prepare." Xia Xiaoxiao was still too shy to admit it in public. "Auntie, let's go backstage to prepare first."

"Yes, yes, goodbye Auntie!" With Xia Xiaoxiao's words as a way out, the others chimed in.

Xu Qingfan took the flowers from Lin Jing's hands and explained after everyone left, "Yesterday afternoon during rehearsal, they teased me about giving Xiaoxiao flowers. I thought they were joking."

"That's great. Xiaoxiao will definitely be happier receiving flowers from Xiaofan than receiving flowers from me." Lin Jing suddenly threw out a direct question.

"How could that be? She's happier receiving flowers from Xiaobai than from me. I know her perfectly well," Xu Qingfan denied.

Lin Jing stopped teasing him and sat down to chat with Yao Jinping next to her.

After Xu Qingfan sat down, he heard Lin Wanning say in his ear, "When I perform on stage at the New Year's Eve party next year, will you give me flowers too, Qingfan-gege?"

"If Wan Ning performs on stage, of course I'll give her flowers." Xu Qingfan put his hand on her shoulder. Not counting Xiao Ruanwen, Xia Xiaoxiao is the only one performing tonight.

Therefore, he wasn't worried that sending flowers might turn into a chaotic scene.

Lin Wanning held his large hand and played with it, clearly not jealous or anything.

"How many more performances do Xiaoxiao and the others have?" Yao Jinping asked without specifying a particular person.

"Xiaoxiao is the second to last performer. After this performance on stage, the next one will be performed by Xiaoxiao's class," Wu Lingyu explained patiently.

"Oh, we still have to wait for another show." Hearing that there was still a wait, Yao Jinping stopped paying attention and continued chatting with Lin Jing and Zhao Yuemin.

As for why they didn't go backstage to accompany Xia Xiaoxiao, it's mainly because there are too many people here, and they wouldn't be able to watch Xia Xiaoxiao's performance backstage.

"What are you looking at? You've been laughing non-stop." Xu Qingfan reached out and slapped Xiao Ruanwen, who was playing on her phone.

"Look, it's on our school's online forum. I don't know who was so bored as to photoshop us together." Xiao Ruanwen handed him her phone, showing him their wedding photo with a red background.

The reason it's called a wedding photo is because a white veil has been photoshopped onto Xiao Ruanwen's head.

After looking at the photo, Xu Qingfan gave her a strange look a couple more times.

Xiao Ruanwen understood his look and emphasized, "I just thought the photos were funny!"

Lin Wanning was sitting next to her and naturally saw the photos on her phone. She said, "Ruan Wen and Fan Ge's clothes look like they're matching outfits tonight."

Xiao Ruanwen wore a gray JK uniform tonight, and Xu Qingfan's Armani casual suit was also gray. In addition, both of them had their hair styled, so they really looked like a couple when they stood together.

Xu Qingfan made a hugging gesture with his hands. Xiao Ruanwen understood and silently put her phone away.

[Ruan Wen, are you stupid? Someone photoshopped a wedding photo of you and that stinky Fan Ge, and you're laughing!]
Xiao Ruanwen inwardly scolded himself, but the carefree boy quickly put the matter out of his mind and continued to read his classmates' messages.

Tonight's Licheng Middle School forum was her and Xu Qingfan's special. Besides discussing the song "Choose C," the boys were discussing "Who is the school beauty, Xiao Ruanwen or xxx?" while the girls were discussing Xiao Ruanwen's makeup tonight, and a few people chimed in, "That guy is so handsome, didn't you guys notice?"

Meanwhile, the song also trended on Weibo and Xiaofenshu. In addition to praising the new song, netizens were also surprised that Xiao Ruanwen is still a high school student!

Even if she doesn't debut as a singer, based solely on her current fan base, Hsiao Ruan-wen's fee for a single advertisement would start at least at 100,000 yuan.

Xu Qingfan looked at the smile on her face and just smiled back. It's understandable for a girl her age to have a little vanity.

The five girls each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Their strengths are largely the same, but their weaknesses are quite different.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of their various flaws that Xu Qingfan finds them even more adorable and their souls interesting.

"Wan Ning is so cute."

"Ok?"

Lin Wanning blinked blankly.

"cute!"

Xu Qingfan poked her nose.

"Hehe~ Mm!"

As expected, the time for Xia Xiaoxiao's class to perform arrived quickly. Many students had completely stopped watching the show; the only reason they lingered in the square was to wait for the final scores.

When the stage lights came back on, they treated it like the same boring performance as before, either looking down at their phones or playing cards and chatting with their classmates. In short, they were too lazy to bother watching the show.

"Wow!"

"Fuck!"

But there were still students watching the performance. So, when they saw that the person standing on the stage was a fairy herself, the first person to exclaim in surprise led the others to exclaim in surprise. In less than half a minute, everyone still present had their eyes on the stage.

Xia Xiaoxiao was wearing a red Rainbow Feather Dance dress, while the others were wearing pink, so at first glance, one's eyes would be drawn to her and then it would be hard to look away.

It's difficult to describe the dance I'm seeing right now using modern language. Aside from saying it's "graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a swimming dragon," the only word that comes to mind is "refined."

"Thank goodness I didn't leave early. These legs and this face, all that wind tonight was worth it!"

"Does anyone know which class this performance is from? I didn't listen carefully just now. The girl in the red dress in the middle is the school beauty, right? I think she's even prettier than the girl who sang before!"

"No wonder there were so many incompetent rulers in ancient times!"

Most of the surrounding chatter was just people talking to themselves, because everyone's attention was on the performance on stage, or more precisely, on Xia Xiaoxiao's performance.

Xu Qingfan's thoughts immediately returned to his past life. After the New Year's Eve party in his first year of high school, he and Xia Xiaoxiao were strolling on the campus. Xu Qingfan said that he was playing cards with his classmates and did not see Xia Xiaoxiao's performance.

Actually, his claim that he was playing cards with his classmates and didn't see her performance was a lie he told Xia Xiaoxiao. He liked girls so much back then, he certainly wouldn't have missed her performance, but he probably had a brain fart at the time, and his chauvinistic nature prevented him from admitting it.

Xia Xiaoxiao was not angry after hearing this. Instead, she walked silently to the street lamp, took off her down jacket and threw it to Xu Qingfan before he could speak. Then, she danced under the street lamp in her skirt.

Memories from two lifetimes overlapped at this moment, and Xu Qingfan got sand in his eyes, blurring his vision.

Looking back on everything now, I realize I was quite foolish in my past life. No wonder Xia Xiaoxiao went to study in the US without saying a word.

"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan!"

Lin Jing's voice pulled him back to reality. Before he could ask, "What's wrong?", he heard the aunt say, "Why are you still sitting there? Go and give Xiaoxiao the flowers. The performance is almost over!"

"Oh, right!" Xu Qingfan felt a chill run down his spine. How could he have forgotten something so important!

After placing his phone on Lin Wanning's lap, he got up without thinking, grabbed the flowers, and sprinted backstage.

"Hello, senior, I'm here to deliver flowers." Xu Qingfan only recognized Chen Mengmeng, so he approached her without thinking and said this.

Chen Mengmeng glanced at the stage, patted his back to comfort him, and said, "Don't rush, the performance isn't over yet. Wait until the music stops before you go up."

After catching his breath, Xu Qingfan nodded gratefully to her: "Thank you, senior."

Chen Mengmeng pouted and casually asked, "Is the girl performing on stage your girlfriend, junior?"

The other two hosts had noticed Xu Qingfan early on, and after hearing this, their gossip instincts kicked in, and they went over to chat with him.

"Junior, your girlfriend is really beautiful. And that girl who was singing just now, could they both be your girlfriends?" another female host joked.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm a senior in high school and I've never had a boyfriend. I'm so envious."

"Hey~ seniors, stop joking. We've been childhood sweethearts since we were little, like family." Xu Qingfan waved his hand and pretended to hit the senior who was teasing him.

"Didn't the junior date one of them?" Chen Mengmeng pressed.

"We've agreed that we won't date in high school." Xu Qingfan felt quite sorry for the person in front of him in his past life, so his attitude was relatively friendly.

"What about universities?" Chen Mengmeng pressed on.

The other two noticed that she was acting strangely, but Chen Mengmeng didn't care. She just wanted to know if she still had a chance.

"University... Oh, I'll talk about it now. The music's over. I'll go up on stage to give the flowers to my senior first. I'm afraid she'll beat me up tonight if I'm late." Xu Qingfan waved his hand and strode up the steps in a few steps.

"Are you alright?" The girl poked his arm.

Chen Mengmeng bit her lower lip, shook her head, and watched Xu Qingfan's back without saying a word.

After the performance ended, the applause from the audience lasted for a long time, and quite a few boys who were acting like hooligans were whistling.

Xia Xiaoxiao's dance pose froze at the last second. When Xu Qingfan came on stage, she seemed to have a telepathic connection and turned around immediately. Then, she saw the stinky dog holding flowers walking towards her.

The cameraman captured the subtle, flirtatious glances between the two perfectly. If real-time comments were available, the screen would be filled with "perfect match" comments.

Moreover, Xu Qingfan was the first boy to give flowers to a girl that night, which made the students present even more excited.

"Together!"

Someone, seemingly eager for drama, shouted something that Xu Qingfan, standing so far away, heard. Fortunately, no one else followed suit, so there was no need to worry about a chaotic scene erupting for the time being.

"Here you go." Xu Qingfan handed the flowers to Xia Xiaoxiao, unusually without uttering a single flirtatious remark.

"Mmm." Xia Xiaoxiao held the flowers in her arms and blinked at him.

Xu Qingfan restrained his urge to rush up and kiss her, and gave her a thumbs up: "Great."

"How amazing is it?" Xia Xiaoxiao asked.

Xu Qingfan was a little suspicious. When did Xia Xiaoxiao become so talkative?

“Fantastic!” he replied.

"Okay!" Xia Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Then I'm leaving." Xu Qingfan pointed behind him.

"Mm." Xia Xiaoxiao nodded again.

It was like an idol drama coming to life; none of the classmates, judges, or hosts urged them on. Instead, they were all enjoying the drama.

Xu Qingfan nodded and turned to leave the stage, but before he had taken two steps, Xia Xiaoxiao called him back.

"Xu Qingfan!"
