Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 614 - 430. Loves eating teddy bear cookies

"Still laughing? They've all left," Xu Qingfan tapped her plate with his rice spoon.

"If she didn't leave, I wouldn't be laughing," Xiao Ruawen glared at Xu Qingfan and began to eat seriously.

Xu Qingfan shook his head and resumed looking at the chat between him and Zhang Chunxue.

It wasn't a habit for the six of them to have lunch together, but whoever finished first would wait at the entrance of the cafeteria for the rest.

When Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruawen arrived belatedly, the four girls were already waiting at the entrance.

"Brother Qing Fan, have some ice cream, duck!" Lin Wanning ran towards him with two little pudding pops, arms outstretched.

Xu Qingfan ruffled her hair, and the girl happily squinted her eyes.

"Hehe, thanks Wanning!" Once Xu Qingfan took one of the ice creams, Xiao Ruawen reached out to take the other.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wanning protected the ice cream behind her back, shaking her head, "This one is for Wanning, Ruan Wen's is with Xiao Xiao."

"Brother Fan!"

"Brother!"

"Are you two eating together?"

The three approached simultaneously, Zhang Yiyi and Wu Lingyu happily stood next to Xu Qingfan.

After Xia Xiaoxiao handed the extra Five Rams cone she had to Xiao Ruawen, she looked puzzled at the two.

"Uh... right." Xiao Ruawen's hand, holding the ice cream, hesitated, feeling oddly guilty for some reason.

Lin Wanning was already pulling Xu Qingfan home, and seeing this, Xia Xiaoxiao had no choice but to nod and follow.

"Brother Qing Fan, you ran so fast during the flag-raising, Yiyi and I wanted to find you, but then we saw your back with Ruan Wen," Lin Wanning said while slurping her pudding pop, her words muffled.

"Me too," Wu Lingyu stared at him intently.

Xu Qingfan had a good set of teeth, finishing a pudding pop in two bites.

He had a wooden stick in his mouth, patting the two on the head, "I almost got observed like a giant panda this morning, sorry about that, haha."

"No need to apologize," Wu Lingyu smiled sweetly.

"Because Brother Qing Fan is awesome, duck!" Lin Wanning boasted proudly.

"Let me tell you, while I was eating with Brother Fan just now, we ran into Sister Meng Meng!" Xiao Ruawen felt as if Xia Xiaoxiao was observing her and quickly ran over to seek refuge.

"Hmm?"

Her words indeed drew everyone's attention, and the prickling sensation on her back dissipated.

"Brother Fan and I were eating at the second cafeteria, and coincidentally there were no seats, so we had to share a table with Sister Meng Meng."

"I was sitting opposite Sister Meng Meng, and Brother Fan sat next to me," Xiao Ruawen emphasized.

"And then what?"

Xu Qingfan shook his head, also wanting to hear how Xiao Ruawen would spin the story about him.

"Haha... Sister Meng Meng chatted up Brother Fan several times, but Brother Fan just hummed, uh-huh, okay, brushing her off, so rude!" Xiao Ruawen laughed uncontrollably as she slapped his shoulder.

The four girls didn't say anything, but they were satisfied with the outcome.

[Brother Qing Fan really isn't like that with just anyone!]

[It seems we don't need to test Brother Fan anymore!]

[Brother Fan said we five are different, he didn't lie, he isn't really a flirt, because we are family, it's different!]

[Dare to have thoughts about other girls, I'll break your legs... and that too!]

If Chen Mengmeng knew that her initiative had instead earned the trust of the four girls for this player, she would probably cry until she passed out in the bathroom.

"Hahaha... Then Sister Meng Meng asked Brother Fan if he played League of Legends, she's really good, said we could team up, guess what Brother Fan said?"

Xiao Ruawen didn't actually let them guess, immediately giving the answer, "Haha... Brother Fan said haha... sorry, Sister, I usually don't play games much!"

"Hahaha!" The four girls imagined the scene in their minds and could not hold back their laughter either.

"Alright now knock it off, I really don't play games that often," Xu Qingfan gave a white-eyed glare to the five girls reveling in schadenfreude.

"Heehee~ Brother Qing Fan likes to watch us play games, ya!" Lin Wanning said with a giggle, hooking her arm through his.

"Loves to nitpick!" Xia Xiaoxiao said with her eyebrows raised.

"Then I just couldn't help but crack up. The senior must have thought I was laughing at her, and just like last time, she ran off after only eating half her meal."

"Please remove 'might have', thank you." Xu Qingfan smacked the back of her head as if swatting a mosquito.

The five girls instantly burst into laughter again.

After they had left the campus, chatting and laughing, it seemed that Xia Xiaoxiao had also forgotten why Xu Qingfan had been eating with Xiao Ruawen. Xiao Ruawen silently breathed a sigh of relief.

[Eh~ Wait, why am I feeling guilty?]

...

After returning home without much conversation and quickly freshening up, the six of them drew the curtains in their rooms and took a nap.

The two afternoon classes soon came to an end.

On Monday afternoons after school, there were club activities, and Xiao Ruawen hurried off to practice yoga with Wang Xuan as soon as class was over.

Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang also had club activities to attend, leaving Xu Qingfan as the only "veteran" behind in the group.

At four-thirty in the afternoon, it was a bit early for dinner, yet a bit late for afternoon tea.

Just as Xu Qingfan was staring out the window, lost in thought about where to go for a "school walk" later, a pair of warm hands covered his eyes from behind.

"Guess who?" said the person behind him in a strange voice.

For some reason, Xu Qingfan immediately thought of Xia Xiaoxiao, but Xia Xiaoxiao's hands were ice-cold to the touch, clearly not matching the owner of these hands.

"Why is Yu here?"

"You knew it was me, Brother Fan!" Wu Lingyu's heart leapt with joy.

After glancing around the classroom and confirming that no one else was there, she kissed Xu Qingfan's cheek.

After letting go of his eyes, she took Xiao Ruawen's usual seat.

Xu Qingfan turned to look and his eyes immediately brightened.

Because Yu had done something different with her hair—she had tied it in twin ponytails!

"After so many years together, how could I not know," he said, as he pinched the girl's cheek.

In fact, the guy had just taken a blind guess; it had only been a short time since class ended, and ruling out Xia Xiaoxiao, Wu Lingyu was the only one who could have climbed to the fifth floor so quickly.

"Mhm!" Wu Lingyu completely believed him, feeling a faint sweetness in her heart.

"Brother Fan, have some cookies." She opened the package of teddy bear cookies from the morning, picked out an unbroken one, and held it up to Xu Qingfan's mouth.

"Ah~ thank you, Yu," said Xu Qingfan, taking the cookie in his mouth and lightly biting Yu's fingertip in the process.

Wu Lingyu's heart swelled with both sweetness and shyness, and she picked another good cookie to feed Xu Qingfan.

"Xie Rui has to attend track team practice," she said, resting her head on Xu Qingfan's shoulder, implicitly explaining her reason for coming up here.

"And Yu?" Xu Qingfan asked, looking out the window and holding Wu Lingyu's hand, feeling a surge of happiness.

"Yu came to find Brother Fan..." she murmured softly.

Xu Qingfan tightened his grip on her hand: "There's no one at home right now, shall we..."

"No!"

He hadn't finished speaking before Wu Lingyu sternly rejected him.

"I meant shall we take a walk around the school," Xu Qingfan teased her, scratching her nose.

Wu Lingyu showed a look that was both amused and annoyed, as if to say: I'll believe that when pigs fly!

"Sure!" she accepted with pleasure.

[Then Yu will be the first one to stroll Love Avenue with Brother Fan!]
