I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 53. Xu Qingfan is a noob!

The processed turtle and chicken soup is golden yellow, with a few goji berries floating on the oil. It looks, smells, and tastes delicious and is very appetizing.

"Brother Qingfan, what is this?" Lin Wanning asked, picking up a yellow sphere the size of a lychee from his bowl with his chopsticks.

"These are turtle eggs, daughter, if you don't want them, give them to Daddy!" There were only three turtle eggs in total. Lin Qiaoshan had been looking for them for a long time while serving soup, but he couldn't find them. It turned out that his daughter had taken them.

"Huh? Isn't that a bastard? Dad, you can't eat it, Ningning is going to throw it away!" Lin Wanning pretended to throw it away.

"Don't throw it away! Don't throw it away!" Xu Aiguo, Xia Guofu, and Lin Qiaoshan hurriedly grabbed their own bowls to take it.

It's obvious this stuff is really nutritious; look how anxious these three grown men are!

You might scoff at traditional Chinese medicine and dietary supplements, but if you add yin-nourishing and yang-tonifying properties, you'll definitely flock to them.

"You have to start building your foundation from childhood," Xu Qingfan said, standing up and eating the turtle egg that Lin Wanning had placed on his chopsticks.

"Ah! Brother Qingfan, spit it out quickly, or you'll turn into a turtle!" Lin Wanning remembered the story of Spirited Away, where the protagonist's parents turned into pigs after eating pig's trotters, and he panicked and ran around in circles.

"You little brat, what are you doing eating this stuff? It's such a waste!" Xu Aiguo and the others looked at him with expressions of disappointment and disapproval.

Xu Qingfan finished chewing it in a few bites. He thought it was something that could enhance male virility. But it was just an egg yolk. Why make such a fuss?
Xia Xiaoxiao pouted, "[They take cartoons so seriously? Can't they be a little more mature like me?]"
Lin Wanning quickly showed her with his actions that he couldn't: "Key that hides the power of darkness, please show me your true power. Xiao Ning, who made a pact with you, commands you to release the seal!"
"Phew~ Okay, Qingfan-gege, you won't turn into a turtle anymore. Wanning has lifted the curse for you!"

"Hahaha~" The adults burst into laughter at Lin Wanning's childish performance.

"Alright, alright, thank you, Xiao Ning. Let's eat." Xu Qingfan smiled and pulled her back to her seat.

Whether it was the overly nourishing turtle soup or the powerful aftereffects of the turtle egg, Xu Qingfan felt warm all over after only a short time of eating. He was only wearing a handmade sweater knitted by Yao Jinping, but he still felt a little hot.

They didn't eat much of the food they ordered, but the huge pot of turtle stew with free-range chicken was completely devoured, leaving not even the medicinal herbs. The adults all looked quite excited, as there was probably going to be a tough battle tonight.

When she returned, Yao Jinping was carrying two large bags of leftovers. Needless to say, Xu Qingfan's miserable life of eating leftovers was about to continue.

The fishing trio didn't believe in such superstitions. After sending Xu Qingfan and the others back to Lotus Courtyard, they went fishing together again.

The mothers continued their mahjong game from the morning, leaving the three little ones with nothing to do.

Xu Qingfan took out the Little Tyrant learning machine and assembled it: "What games do you want to play?"

"Squirrel Battle!" Xia Xiaoxiao said.

[I beat this game in one life! Let me show you!]
"What kind of game is this? Is it as fun as Snow Bros." Lin Wanning hadn't played many single-player games, so he asked curiously.

Xu Qingfan confirmed the game immediately, and after clicking on the two-player mode, the TV quickly loaded the game screen.

"Wow, I want to play! I want to play!" Lin Wanning was immediately attracted by the two cute little squirrels.

Xu Qingfan handed her the controller, and Xia Xiaoxiao picked up another controller.

Then Xu Qingfan saw Xia Xiaoxiao manipulating the squirrel wearing a hat on the screen to lift up Lin Wanning's squirrel without a hat.

"Which squirrel is Ningning's duck? Why are they all moving? I clearly didn't move!" Lin Wanning looked at the controller and then at the screen, finally looking at Xu Qingfan in confusion.

“Xiaoxiao has lifted your squirrel up. You can press jump to get it down,” Xu Qingfan explained with a smile.

Xia Xiaoxiao was even faster. Before Lin Wanning could jump, she threw him out, sending him crashing straight into the steel monster.

"Ah! It wasn't me!" Looking at the missing heart in the upper left corner, Lin Wanning pouted, feeling wronged.

"Have fun, don't bully Wan Ning!" Xu Qingfan patted Xia Xiaoxiao's head, both amused and helpless.

"Hehehe~" Xia Xiaoxiao continued to do as she pleased, picked up a wooden box and smashed it, knocking Lin Wanning unconscious while also killing the still-living monster.

Then Xia Xiaoxiao realized that knowing how to play might not be a good thing. "Brother Qingfan, teach me how to play!" Lin Wanning handed him the controller.

"Okay, I'll teach you. This is for picking up items, and pressing it again will throw them. This is..."

Watching Xu Qingfan hug Lin Wanning from behind and teach him how to play games, Xia Xiaoxiao felt inexplicably jealous!
"Ouch! I got electrocuted again! Brother Qingfan, can you help me play?"

"It's over, it's over!"

"."

Xia Xiaoxiao unconsciously gripped the controller tighter and tighter. After the cheating couple lost their last life, Xia Xiaoxiao decisively chose to quit the game.

"This isn't fun, let's try something else!" Xia Xiao said.

Xu Qingfan assumed Xia Xiaoxiao was tired of Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers and wanted to try a different game. "Then what do you want to play?"

"Let's play something we've never played before!" Xia Xiaoxiao made up her mind; she wanted the little rascal to teach her step by step!
"Contra?" Xu Qingfan asked.

"No, it's so ugly!"

"I've already played it!"

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?"

"do not want!"

After searching for more than ten minutes, they found that either Xia Xiaoxiao had already played the game or Lin Wanning thought the characters were ugly. They looked at a whole bunch of two-player games but couldn't find any that satisfied the two young ladies.

Finally, they had no choice but to start with the single-player game list: "How about this one?" Xu Qingfan asked the two after loading Kirby.

"Wow! So cute! Brother Qingfan chose the pink one!" Lin Wanning was immediately attracted by the four adorable Snorlax on the screen.

After Xu Qingfan selected a game, he handed the controller to Xia Xiaoxiao: "Teach Wanning how to play, I'm going back to my room to play on the computer for a while."

Xia Xiaoxiao: "???"

"Little one, move quickly! The monster is coming!"

[Xu Qingfan is a complete villain!!!]
Xia Xiaoxiao channeled her grief and anger into power, unleashing her inner strength and completing the game with a single life. Lin Wanning watched from the sidelines, applauding enthusiastically.

"Little classmate, you're amazing! You're much better than Brother Qingfan. Even when he helped me beat the Snowman Brothers, we couldn't get past the second level!" Lin Wanning clapped and praised.

"Of course!" Xia Xiaoxiao proudly raised her head.

The two then moved on to the Snow Bros., and when the final boss was defeated, Lin Wanning finally smiled with satisfaction as he watched two snowmen on the screen each standing next to a princess.

"We finally rescued the princess! Miss, you're amazing!" Lin Wanning gave two thumbs up, and his address to Xia Xiaoxiao had changed from "little classmate" to "Miss" without him even realizing it.

"Xu Qingfan is just a noob. You'll never beat the game if you play against him!" Xia Xiaoxiao completely lost herself amidst Lin Wanning's repeated calls of "little miss."

[Actually, Lin Wanning isn't so bad after all; Xu Qingfan is the worst!]
What is a "cooked dog"?

It means I'm not good at playing games.

"Yes! Brother Qingfan is a noob!!"

The two little ones looked at each other and smiled.

Thank you to Brother Luanshi Diyin for the 100 Qidian Coins!
