Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 606 - 425. You must not have any ideas about Brother Fan.

"Oh my god, what do I do now?"

Xu Qingfan looked at the bright red handprint on his face and couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Only when he left did he realize his face was painfully hot. He found a secluded bathroom to check and indeed saw his swollen face like a pig's head in the mirror.

Xu Qingfan tried using tap water to cool it down but even after more than a minute of washing, there was no improvement.

It wasn't that he felt pain, but he was about to meet Wanning and Yiyi soon, and he didn't know how to explain himself to these girls.

Claiming he hit himself too hard while trying to kill a mosquito?

Surely even a fool wouldn't be fooled by that!

"I've got it!"

"I'll go to the infirmary and ask the school nurse for a couple of fever-reducing patches!"

No longer dominated by stupidity, Xu Qingfan's intelligence reclaimed the high ground.

Thinking it, he immediately posted "Meet at the school gate" in the group chat, then ran non-stop to the infirmary.

The infirmary was right next to the administrative building, also close to the laboratory building.

When he reached the infirmary, the school nurse was already turning off the lights, preparing to leave.

Xu Qingfan timely thought to himself and politely said, "Hello sir, I accidentally hit my face while walking. Could you give me some fever-reducing patches?"

Since it's on campus, whether it's the school nurse or the principal, students are accustomed to addressing them as 'teacher.'

The school nurse turned the lights back on in the infirmary, his gaze shifting to Xu Qingfan's swollen right cheek and the shiny handprint on it.

His lips twitched, giving Xu Qingfan a couple more glances.

[The kid's quite handsome; good looks probably mean he's not a troublemaker, so he must have been cheating!]

Having spent over twenty years on campus, he'd seen all sorts of cases and instantly guessed why Xu Qingfan had been hit.

As for why it wasn't from a boys' fight: well, from his understanding of high school boys, unless it was something really serious, those boys absolutely wouldn't come to the school nurse. In two words, it's embarrassing!

"Did you bump into a female student?"

The school nurse looked him up and down with a disdainful expression, his lips couldn't be held back; he was openly mocking him!

Xu Qingfan:...

[Old Deng, you've narrowed your path!]

Xu Qingfan showed him a generously kind smile, and indeed felt too embarrassed to argue, especially since Xiao Ruawen's hand was open when she hit him.

The school nurse chuckled and turned around to get him a bottle of frozen Nongfu Spring from the refrigerator.

"These fever-reducing patches won't reduce swelling on that face of yours, use this instead, wrap it in a towel and ice it for more than ten minutes after you get back to the dorm."

Xu Qingfan really wanted to bite him, didn't he know that fever-reducing patches wouldn't reduce swelling?

[I just wanted something to cover it, mind your own business!]

"It's okay, teacher, I commute from home. I'll just ice it when I get back. Could you give me two fever-reducing patches to cover it up?" Xu Qingfan continued to smile, though his facial muscles were stiff.

The school nurse gave him another meaningful look, shook his head, then bent down again and took out two fever-reducing patches from the refrigerator.

"Two dollars each, cash or school card?"

"School card."

After paying, Xu Qingfan used the infirmary's mirror to properly apply the two fever-reducing patches, finally managing to cover up the handprint on his face.

He awkwardly endured the process, then without looking back, he sprinted away.

"I'm not coming back to this damn infirmary for the next three years!" He cursed as he ran some distance away.

The five girls were standing under a streetlight; he could see them from a distance as he approached from the darkness.

Noticing Xiao Ruawen was also there, Xu Qingfan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because just then, he'd remembered something.

[Xiao Ruawen knows about my fling with Xia Xiaoxiao!!!]

It just goes to show, when the little head is in charge of the big head, there's not much intelligence left.

Xu Qingfan tried to see it from Xiao Ruawen's perspective: "You've already kissed Xiaoxiao, even went up to the rooftop, and now you dare to come and kiss me, what am I to you?

I'm Xiaoxiao's best friend, how could you treat me like this!"

Thinking this way, Xu Qingfan felt that getting hit was indeed deserved.

"Brother Qing Fan, why are you so slow, duck!" Lin Wanning was the first to spot Xu Qingfan approaching and shouted at him.

Xiao Ruawen, seeing the figure emerge from the darkness, turned around feeling guilty.

"You took so long in the bathroom.... what happened to your face?" Xia Xiaoxiao initially spoke with disdain, but upon seeing something on his face, she immediately asked with concern.

"Brother Fan, why is your face swollen?" Wu Lingyu moved closer, pained as she poked the fever-reducing patch on his face.

"Let me see, Brother Qing Fan!" Lin Wanning tiptoed closer, gently blowing on his face.

"How did brother get hurt?"

Except for Xiao Ruawen still standing there, helpless, the four girls all showed ample concern.

Seizing the detail from Xia Xiaoxiao's earlier words, Xu Qingfan started his act: "Oh~ what bad luck, I was looking down at my phone in the bathroom, and since the lights weren't on at night in the first-floor restroom, I accidentally walked into the women's bathroom!"

"Can you believe it? Just then, a girl came out of the stall right as I walked in, mistook me for a pervert who walked into the women's room, and slapped me hard."

"Pfft!" Xiao Ruawen's cheeks puffed up, rattling like a squirrel with its mouth stuffed with nuts.

Fortunately, the four girls were all focused on Xu Qingfan's face, so they didn't notice the odd behavior of Xiao Ruawen at the moment.

"What happened next, Brother Qing Fan, what happened next?" Lin Wanning was both sympathetic and curious.

"Then, after she hit me, she took off running. I didn't even have time to react, still looking at my phone, and I didn't get a good look at her!"

The dog of a man gritted his teeth, putting on a good show.
