I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 527. Truth or Dare Night Chat

They chatted until almost midnight before ending, and the six of them yawned and went upstairs to sleep.

"When Wan Ning sleeps tonight, be careful not to step on her feet," Xu Qingfan said to the four girls beside him after carrying Lin Wan Ning back to bed.

“Wan Ning will sleep between Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao, so there’s no need to worry,” Zhang Yiyi said after thinking for a moment.

"You guys take care of it. I'm going back to sleep. Please help me prepare pajamas for my mom and aunt." Xu Qingfan was so sleepy that he started to yawn. Before leaving, he rubbed Lin Wanning's head.

"Okay, goodnight, Brother Qingfan!" Lin Wanning put on the hood of her pajamas, and with a tug, her two fluffy rabbit ears stood up instantly.

Xu Qingfan smiled knowingly, said goodnight to everyone, and left the room.

Wu Lingyu took three sets of pajamas out of the closet and put them in the next room. When she returned, the four girls had already washed up and gone to bed.

After she turned off the light, she quickly crawled into bed as well.

Perhaps because so much had happened tonight, no one felt sleepy while lying in bed.

"Tomorrow's the start of the holiday, this week went by so fast," Xiao Ruanwen said casually, looking at the dark ceiling.

"This year has gone by so fast, it's all over in a flash." Wu Lingyu moved over to get more blankets.

What year is next year?

"The Year of the Rat, the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, and the Dragon—next year will be the Year of the Dragon," Zhang Yiyi replied.

"What does a dragon roar?"

"Wuhu~ Wuhu~"

Xiao Ruanwen asked and answered her own question, and everyone burst into laughter, "Hahahaha!"

Once, while browsing in a library, they saw wallpapers that mimicked animal sounds. When they pressed the corresponding animal, the wallpaper would emit the corresponding sound.

The kitten, puppy, and ox all made normal noises, but when it was the dragon's turn, the sound it made changed to "Wuhu~ Wuhu~".

"Ahem. During the performance tonight, there were so many flashing lights from the audience that it startled me," Xiao Ruanwen said after stopping her laughter.

That's how late-night chats in the dorm are—we talk about whatever comes to mind, whatever we feel like.

"When I saw Ruan Wen's mother go on stage to present flowers, I thought I was seeing things, but it turns out it was real," Lin Wanning said softly.

"It's all because of that stinky Fan-ge! He didn't even tell me my mom and aunt were coming, he scared me half to death!" Xiao Ruanwen said with a smile, but her voice sounded fierce.

"Brother Fan said he wanted to give Ruan Wen a surprise, and your performance will start right when Auntie arrives," Wu Lingyu explained.

"More like being frightened," Xiao Ruanwen muttered, pouting softly.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Ruanwen spoke again: "By the way, Fan said you two made a promise that if Fan goes on stage to give flowers, Xiao Xiao you will kiss him. Is that true?"

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Xia Xiaoxiao's answer.

After a brief silence, Xia Xiaoxiao replied, "There was no agreement."

"?"

The four of them, including Xiao Ruanwen, slowly typed a question mark: If we're not sisters, why are you being so honest?
The room fell silent again. Xia Xiaoxiao didn't continue to explain, and the others forgot to ask further questions, so the situation remained at a stalemate.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Wanning, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, finally asked, "Xiaoxiao, why did you kiss Brother Qingfan tonight? Aren't you afraid people will misunderstand?"

As if she were digging for answers, her heart was still pounding as she spoke.

Everyone was waiting for Xia Xiaoxiao's answer, however...

Xia Xiaoxiao organized her thoughts, thought for a moment, and finally said only two words: "It's okay."

"."

Thank goodness, the last time they were this speechless was the last time.

"Haha, when we go back to school tomorrow, everyone will probably think you and Fan are dating." Xiao Ruanwen wasn't too speechless, and she joked with a laugh.

"Hmm." Xia Xiaoxiao gave a casual "hmm," as if she really didn't care.

The group of people in the darkness looked at each other in silence.

The five of them actually knew what each other was thinking, but they were afraid of ruining their friendship, so they kept the sensitive topics to themselves.

But suppressing them like this isn't a good solution. It's like playing cards; Xia Xiaoxiao has already played her card, and if they keep refusing, they'll only be "springed out."

"Xiaoxiao, you like your brother, right?" Zhang Yiyi said what no one else wanted to say.

Several breaths, some long and some short, were heard in the dark room.

Are we finally going to talk about sensitive topics?

So exciting!
Xia Xiaoxiao answered without hesitation this time: "I like it."

The answer was still two words, but this time the certainty was 100%.

“I like my brother too. I’ve liked him since I was in first grade.” Zhang Yiyi spoke in a very relaxed tone, as if she were sharing her favorite anime character with a good friend.

“Me too! I’ve liked Brother Qingfan since I was in kindergarten!” Lin Wanning immediately added.

Another moment passed.

Wu Lingyu also spoke up: "I also like Brother Fan. I secretly liked Brother Fan even before I knew him."

"Ok?"

Xiao Ruanwen was the only one left who didn't speak. Since it was a sisters' late-night chat about the truth, they naturally couldn't hold back.

Even though it was dark, Xiao Ruanwen still felt that four pairs of eyes were watching her.

"Why are you all looking at me? Brother Fan isn't a hundred-yuan bill. Who...who said everyone has to like Brother Fan?" she said nervously.

"Hehehe"

The four of them lay on the bed without saying a word, smiling with their lips pursed, making Xiao Ruanwen extremely embarrassed.

"What are you laughing at? You are not allowed to laugh!"

"At most, compared to other boys, I have a tiny bit of a crush on Fan Ge, but that's only because we grew up together, and that's a forced feeling!"

"You're not allowed to laugh!"

The mockery never stopped; in fact, it intensified.

"Hahahaha!"

There was mockery of Xiao Ruanwen's stubbornness, as well as hearty laughter after everyone talked things out and felt relieved.

"Ahem. I don't know what you're laughing at, but I don't like Brother Fan!" After the laughter subsided, Xiao Ruanwen pouted and emphasized again.

“Yes, yes, Ruan Wen doesn’t like her brother.” Zhang Yiyi, with a sly smile, pretended to agree, but was actually mocking him.

"You're right, aren't you? The tiger won't roar if it doesn't show its power!" Xiao Ruanwen happened to be sharing a blanket with Zhang Yiyi, so she tickled her armpits.

"Ah~ Hahaha. Ruan Wen, I was wrong."

"Is it still right?"

"Haha... wait a minute... hahaha." After forcefully suppressing Zhang Yi, Xiao Ruanwen surveyed the surroundings with disdain: "Who else is laughing?"

"Hehe, Ruan Wen, I wasn't laughing." Lin Wanning covered her mouth with her hand, her cheeks puffed out.

"Hahaha!"

After another burst of laughter, the late-night chat in the dorm continued.

“Ruan Wen doesn’t count. Wan Ning, Xiao Yu, Xiao Xiao, and I all like our brother, but there’s only one brother.” Zhang Yi stared blankly at the ceiling.

Xia Xiaoxiao understood the implication in her words and said, "Then let's wait for him to make his own choice."

Moreover, to be honest, Xia Xiaoxiao was quite confident in her victory, after all, she and Chou Gouzi had just poured their hearts out to each other not long ago.

"Hmm." None of them raised any objections to Xia Xiaoxiao's relatively fair assessment.

After all, she wasn't the only one confident; Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi, who knew a lot about the inside story, were equally confident.

As for Wu Lingyu, Xiaoyu thought to herself: [Brother Fan has already made his choice; he wants it all.]
"So, Xiaoxiao, did you and Brother Fan really just go to the teaching building to watch the performance tonight, and did you not do anything else?" Xiao Ruanwen asked curiously.

Xia Xiaoxiao blushed, involuntarily recalling the scene of their kiss that night. Fortunately, the room was pitch black, so she didn't have to worry about being seen.

"No," Xia Xiaoxiao replied simply.

The main reason she doesn't tell the truth is that she's afraid others will feel a sense of urgency, which could lead to an arms race and an uncontrollable situation.

So, she was doing it for everyone's good, and in order to avoid ruining their friendship, she had no choice but to tell this white lie.

"Ah~ I thought Brother Fan was taking you away to confess your feelings, but it turns out that's not the case?" Xiao Ruanwen said.

"No, we don't plan to date in high school," Xia Xiaoxiao insisted.

However, this time the "we" specifically refers to her and Xu Qingfan.

Everyone immediately became alert, and even Lin Wanning could hear the underlying meaning in the message.

She asked, "Brother Qingfan said he wouldn't date Xiaoxiao in high school?"

"He said he didn't want to date in high school." Xia Xiaoxiao only repeated half of the story, leaving out the part about the stinky dog ​​saying he liked her.

For the same reason, I didn't want to arouse suspicion in others.

"If you're not planning to talk about high school, what about college?" Xiao Ruanwen knew the least, so she was the most curious.

“He didn’t say,” Xia Xiaoxiao replied.

Although she didn't say it, in the context she understood, the stinky dog ​​would probably have a sweet romance with her in college.

It's understandable that they don't talk about it in high school, since they'll be living together.

However, after entering university, they are unlikely to attend the same university or even the same city, so they will naturally not be able to continue living together like they did in junior high and high school.

In Xia Xiaoxiao's vision, it would be best if the two of them could get into Tsinghua or Peking University together, study in the same college and the same major, and have a sweet four-year romance starting from their freshman year.

Apart from Wu Lingyu, among the others, only Zhang Yiyi has a chance to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, unlike the other three who are basically guaranteed admission.

Because Xu Qingfan had not revealed his intention to stay in the province to study at university, Xia Xiaoxiao subconsciously assumed that the two of them would attend one of Tsinghua or Peking University, so as not to waste their scores.

"He didn't say that, but then again, what has Brother Fan done to deserve that all four of you like him at the same time?"

Xiao Ruanwen almost let it slip.

The four of them were already skeptical of Xiao Ruanwen's claim that she "didn't like Brother Fan," so no one laughed at her for revealing her secret again.

"But Brother Qingfan is so good, he's incredibly good!" Lin Wanning pouted, a faint smile unconsciously appearing on her face when she mentioned Xu Qingfan.

"Because he's the older brother!"

"Brother Fan is a ray of light in my life. That's probably where the term 'white moonlight' comes from."

The group got more and more emotional as they talked, and it looked like it was about to turn into a "praise Fan" conference. Xiao Ruanwen quickly stopped them, saying, "Alright, alright, wait until Brother Fan is here next time before you talk about it. I'm getting sick of listening to all this mushy stuff."

"Pfft!" Everyone couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, guys are all lustful creatures, has Brother Fan ever done anything too outrageous to you guys?"

Xiao Ruanwen suddenly remembered the time when Brother Fan hugged her that night, and became curious about how far Brother Fan and his girlfriends had progressed.

"Let me start. The worst thing they ever did to me was when they kissed me during the King's Game last time." She started by recounting her embarrassing moment, but everyone knew it was pointless.

Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, Xia Xiaoxiao, and Wu Lingyu were all waiting for someone else to speak first. After Xiao Ruanwen finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Xiao Ruanwen asked.

The four girls' faces flushed simultaneously, as they were all thinking about the most outrageous things Xu Qingfan had ever done to them.

Clearly, these are some things that are not suitable for children.

"Is it going too far? Brother Qingfan likes to touch my feet. Is that going too far?" After thinking about it, Lin Wanning decided not to tell anyone about picking mushrooms.

"Pfft, hahaha!" Only Xiao Ruanwen burst into laughter and slapped her thigh, but the others were used to it.

Zhang Yi ignored her laughter and said, "My brother doesn't seem to have done anything too outrageous to me. I can't remember."

There are too many things I can remember, especially the last time I stayed overnight in Donghui City, I barely slept a wink that night.

"Cough... I don't think I did that either. Does it count if Brother Fan sometimes spanks my butt?" Wu Lingyu was struggling to suppress her laughter, thinking to herself, "Yi Yi has such thick eyebrows and big eyes, yet she's so adept at lying."

"Wow, Fan Ge is such a beast! Touching Wan Ning's feet and patting Xiao Yu's butt, he's so despicable!" Xiao Ruanwen said disdainfully.

She suddenly placed her hand on her full conscience and had this thought: If she weren't afraid of being beaten, Brother Fan would probably want to touch me even more, right?

She immediately shook her head, banishing the strange thought from her mind.

"Ruan Wen, why are you shaking your head?" Zhang Yi asked, puzzled.

"Oh no, I think a mosquito just flew by," Xiao Ruanwen explained awkwardly.

Are there still mosquitoes in winter?

"It might have mutated."

Xia Xiaoxiao was the only one left who hadn't spoken. After listening to what they had just said, Xia Xiaoxiao felt even more confident of victory. Hilarious! Touching feet and patting butts was going too far; she'd done those things since elementary school!

"Cough. Once in junior high, we drank alcohol and everyone got drunk. We fell asleep together in a daze."

“I remember, I remember, it was during the Spring Festival in 09, at the old house!” Xiao Ruanwen answered quickly.

"Yes, his hands started moving around after he fell asleep, but he probably didn't mean it. I removed his hands after he woke up, so he probably didn't know."

Xia Xiaoxiao felt she needed to assert her sovereignty appropriately, but not too much, so she chose to bring up this insignificant little matter.

"Wow, I've never heard you mention this before, Xiao Xiao. Where is it?" Xiao Ruanwen touched him all over.

Xia Xiaoxiao slapped her hand away. After all, she was still a virgin, and it was a little difficult for her to say these things.

"above."
