I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 79. Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruanwen's Many Layers of Schemes
"Xiaoxiao!" From afar, Xiao Ruanwen rode her bicycle toward the entrance of the Lotus Courtyard. When she arrived, she asked, "Aren't you going to ride your bike?" Seeing that the two of them were alone, she asked in confusion.

"Good afternoon, class monitor. My dad will give us a ride later. You can park your bicycle in the courtyard; no one will steal it!" Xu Qingfan stepped forward to help him with the bicycle.

"Good afternoon!" Xia Xiaoxiao smiled, a rare occurrence for her.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't even come to play with me during your vacation!" Xiao Ruanwen affectionately hugged Xia Xiaoxiao's arm and acted coquettishly.

"You two wait here for a moment, I'll push the bicycle back first." Neither of them paid any attention to him. Xu Qingfan talked to himself and awkwardly pushed the bicycle away.

When she came out again, Xiao Ruanwen was holding a comic book called "Hilarious Daily Life" in her hand, waving it in front of his eyes: "Brother Fan, you're treating me differently. You don't tell me about drawing comics or writing short stories!"

Xiao Ruanwen showed off her cute little tiger teeth and gave him a fierce glare.

"Haha~ I was originally planning to give it to you as a Children's Day gift, but Zhao Wumian from Class 10 spoiled it." Xu Qingfan shrugged helplessly.

"Tch~ Stop lying! How come Xiaoxiao knew beforehand? You don't consider me a friend at all!!" Xiao Ruanwen took two steps to the right, pulled Xia Xiaoxiao away, and looked like she wanted to sever ties with Xu Qingfan.

Xia Xiaoxiao's expression was tense, but Xu Qingfan still noticed the barely perceptible smile. He knew perfectly well that the two of them had conspired to tease him.

"Xia Xiaoxiao, stop pretending! I saw you smirking! You two are in cahoots to mess with me, aren't you? Tell me, what kind of trick are you up to now?" Xu Qingfan chuckled as he stepped forward and gave each of the two little ones a flick on the forehead.

"You dare to hit someone! Xiao Xiao, let's go, we're never talking to him again!" Xiao Ruanwen wrinkled her nose and glared at Xu Qingfan, then grabbed Xia Xiaoxiao's arm and turned to leave.

"Hey~ Don't go!" Xu Qingfan quickly took two steps to catch up.

"Hmph! Stay away from us. I treated you like my best friend, Xu Qingfan, and you even kept your comic drawing a secret from me!" Xiao Ruanwen pulled Xia Xiaoxiao to her right, telling her to stay away from Xu Qingfan.

"Alright, alright, it was my fault, okay? Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Xu Qingfan walked helplessly beside Xiao Ruanwen, his hands in his pockets.

Hearing the satisfactory answer, the two little ones showed sly smiles. "You have to come with us too!" Xiao Ruanwen said out of the blue.

"Aren't I keeping you company right now?" Xu Qingfan was completely baffled.

"Stupid! What I mean is, you have to spend time with us like you spent time with Wan Ning and the others drawing comics!!"

"Stupid dog!" Xia Xiaoxiao chimed in from the side.

"But you can't draw comics, how can I accompany you?" Xu Qingfan still didn't quite understand what they meant.

"I don't care! We want to do something with you, just like Wan Ning and the others!" Xiao Ruanwen said, her voice both unreasonable and assertive.

"You want to make money too?"

"Xu Qingfan, you're a pig!!!" Xia Xiaoxiao glared at him angrily, then pulled Xiao Ruanwen away quickly after cursing him.

"Stinky pig, stupid pig, big dumb pig!" Xiao Ruanwen's voice came from ahead.

"No? Just say what you want, why are you beating around the bush? How am I supposed to understand if you don't tell me!" Xu Qingfan followed behind, looking constipated.

Thankfully, the two kids didn't add, "True understanding doesn't need to be spoken!"

"I don't know how you got a perfect score in Chinese. We just want to be like Wan Ning and Yi Yi, and publish a comic book with you. Of course, I don't mean drawing comics. You have to think of something that the three of us can do together and that can yield results like drawing comics!" After organizing her thoughts, Xiao Ruanwen clearly expressed their request.

"Huh?" Xu Qingfan really hadn't expected them to mean that.

[Could it be that he neglected them while drawing comics, and the two little ones are jealous?] he thought to himself.

"What 'ah'?! Do you have one? If not, hurry up and think of one!" Xia Xiaoxiao glared at him reproachfully.

"How could I have come up with this idea on a whim? Drawing comics was just a coincidence that I had when I went to the library with Xiaoxiao that day. Or rather, what do you want to do, and what are you good at?" Xu Qingfan directly passed the buck back to him.

The two little ones fell into deep thought, and their walking speed unconsciously slowed down. Xu Qingfan did not urge them, but patiently followed beside them.

"What do you think of my singing?" Xiao Ruanwen replied somewhat uncertainly.

"Singing?" Xu Qingfan considered the feasibility of this idea.

Undoubtedly, he remembered many hit songs that had not yet been released, but Xu Qingfan was worried that if all of these songs were written by a seven-year-old child like himself, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Can't you?"

When Xiao Ruanwen and Xia Xiaoxiao saw that Xu Qingfan had not said anything further, they couldn't help but show their disappointment.

"Do you mean I should write songs for you guys to sing, or should we form a band together like we did for the New Year's Eve party last semester?"

"Huh?!" "Brother Fan, you can write songs???"

The two little ones stared at Xu Qingfan, speechless.

"I do have a little idea." Xu Qingfan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, after all, it was plagiarized.

"Then what are we waiting for! Brother Fan, hurry up and write!!" Xiao Ruanwen seemed to have suddenly become a different person, excitedly stepping forward to hug Xu Qingfan's arm.

"Who is Brother Fan? I remember he was just a stinky pig, a silly pig, a big dumb pig just now?" Xu Qingfan deliberately ignored the two little ones and walked with his head up, looking up at the sky.

"Brother Qingfan! Help us write a song~" Xiao Ruanwen gave her best friend a look and started to imitate Lin Wanning's coquettish manner.

Xu Qingfan got goosebumps all over when he was called "Brother Qingfan".

Xia Xiaoxiao was too embarrassed to lower herself to act coquettishly towards Xu Qingfan, and simply held onto his other arm quietly.

"Please, Brother Qingfan! Wenwen wants to sing too!" With her childlike voice, Xiao Ruanwen's imitation of Lin Wanning's coquettish manner was incredibly charming.

"Alright, alright, stop shouting. Let go of me, we're almost at the convenience store!" Xu Qingfan was afraid that his parents would see him with one woman on each side.

"So, will you agree or not?" Xiao Ruanwen asked.

"I promise, I promise, okay? I'll write it when I get home tonight!" Xu Qingfan helplessly raised the white flag in surrender.

"yeah!!!"

Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruanwen simultaneously released their grip on Xu Qingfan's arms and happily high-fived each other in celebration.

When a girl who can kick someone her own age away suddenly starts acting cute and affectionate towards you, Xu Qingfan exclaims that he can't handle the contrast.

"Brother Fan, how long will it take you to finish writing the song?" Xiao Ruanwen was already getting impatient, after all, singing was her favorite thing to do.

Which little girl with a dream of music hasn't fantasized about having her own song?

"I've memorized it all. It's a song that suddenly came to mind when I was listening to 'Dongfeng Po' a while ago. I'll sing it for you!" Xu Qingfan said.

"Sing it out! Sing it out!" the two said, clapping their hands as they did so.

"I'm a little tone-deaf, so don't laugh at me!"

"Brother Fan, hurry up and sing! Stop being so long-winded!"

“Then I’ll sing it. The song is called ‘Looking Out the Window’.”

"When the swallows leave, the branches are laden with red beans."

"The traveler should not ask when he will return."

"."

She sang "Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land"—one step, one cough.

"You said you wouldn't laugh!" When Xu Qingfan sang in the opera style, he couldn't hold back and his voice cracked, and the two little ones covered their mouths and giggled.

"Heh~ Brother Fan, we weren't laughing! Cough cough," Xiao Ruanwen said, forcing back a laugh.

"I'm not singing anymore!" Xu Qingfan was already a top-ranked Karthus player in the Chinese server, and after the two of them laughed like that, he lost all the courage to continue singing.

"Waaaa~ Brother Fan, we were wrong, please keep singing, the song is so good!"

"I won't sing!"

Sing it out!

"I won't sing!"

"Sing, sing!"

"I won't sing! I won't sing!"
