Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts

Chapter 258 - 180. Only the world where Little White is hurt has been reached

Saturday, 8:00 AM.

Xu Qingfan was still comfortably sleeping in, when suddenly he felt as if someone was brushing his nose with a strand of hair, tickling him, and he promptly sneezed.

"Achoo~"

Upon opening his eyes, he saw Xia Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ruawen, and Wu Lingyu, three girls with their heads huddled together, all looking down at him.

"Whoa~ what are you doing!" Xu Qingfan was startled, and only after realizing it was the three of them did he speak in annoyance.

"Brother Fan, it’s already eight o’clock and you’re still not up. I came over at just past seven!" Xiao Ruawen said, putting up her hair that had been the culprit behind the tickle behind her ear, chiding him.

"Lazy pig!" Xia Xiaoxiao also scorned, completely forgetting that she herself had only just gotten up to brush her teeth and hadn’t even had breakfast yet.

"There’s still hot noodles in the pot."

"Ha~ Yu is the best!" Xu Qingfan yawned, getting up and patting Wu Lingyu on the head with a laugh.

Wu Lingyu smiled sweetly, while Xia Xiaoxiao disdainfully punched him on the back.

After Xu Qingfan spent ten minutes brushing his teeth and came out of the bathroom, he quickly polished off the bowl of noodles Wu Lingyu had served for him.

"All right, let’s get going!" He finished the cup of black tea in one gulp and then burped lightly.

"I’ll wash the bowl." Wu Lingyu reached out to grab the empty bowl on the table.

"Oh, that’s so kind of you, but I can do it myself." Xu Qingfan said as much, but made no move to actually do it.

"Brother Fan, you’re really something!"

"Eh?" Xu Qingfan gave Xiao Ruawen a death glare, "Don’t want the new song anymore?"

"Hehe~ What I meant was, Brother Fan, you eat so quickly, it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Xiao Ruawen quickly backpedaled when her soft spot was squeezed.

"Virtue!" Xia Xiaoxiao bit her lip and glared at him.

After Wu Lingyu came out of the kitchen, the four of them shouldered their backpacks and left together.

They caught a taxi at the corner and soon arrived at Lin Wanning’s house.

When they got to the yard in front of the villa, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi were already at the door tending to the flowers and plants. Seeing them arrive, they ran up excitedly.

"Brother Qing Fan!"

"Good morning, everyone!"

"Morning, have you had breakfast?" Xu Qingfan asked with a warm smile.

"We had buns! Have you had breakfast yet, Brother Qing Fan? Oh, and..."

"And milk tea!"

"We’ve eaten, Yu made noodles."

Xu Qingfan was about to say more when Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly pointed at the empty doghouse and asked, "Where’s the dog?"

"Oh!" Lin Wanning covered her mouth in surprise.

She had been feeling like she was forgetting something, and now she remembered she had forgotten to bring the dog home yesterday!

"I knew something felt off, so I left Little White at the other house!" Lin Wanning said, suddenly realizing her mistake.

"Ah, won’t it starve to death?" Xiao Ruawen asked, a bit worried.

"Being hungry for half a day is no big deal, I’ll go feed it after lunch, that’ll help it slim down a bit—it’s as fat as a pig!"

A kilometer away, Little White’s dog bowl was being noisily smacked around by its paws, accompanied by howls that sounded like wails of a ghost.

"Awoo~"

"Yap yap yap, what are you yapping about, yap any more and I’ll cook you into dog meat!" The neighbor’s auntie said, wielding a pot spatula as she walked over to the door.

Little White covered its mouth with its paws, looking so pitiful that the auntie couldn’t help but laugh. She went back inside to fetch some leftover porridge from breakfast and poured it into Little White’s bowl.

"Woof woof!"

...

"What should we wear for the performance?" The six friends were walking on their way to the Piano Store, and Xiao Ruawen was already looking forward to the official show day.

"Wear Hanfu, everyone, together!"

They had worn Hanfu for their elementary school graduation ceremony and, although six months had passed and everyone had grown a bit taller, they could still fit into them.

"You guys wear them, I won’t!" The latest Hanfu made Xu Qingfan look like an eunuch from the ancient royal court, and he refused to wear it a second time.

This was actually quite normal; after all, traditional male attire in ancient times required matching headgear and facial hair, and with Xu Qingfan being short and having a clean appearance, he indeed resembled an eunuch.

"Pfft~ Hahaha..." The five girls remembered Xu Qingfan’s embarrassing look on the day of the graduation ceremony and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Xiao Fan, come to me!" Xiao Ruawen imitated the empresses from TV dramas, extending her hand to summon Xu Qingfan.

"How dare you! Is it for you to call my pet name directly? Guards! Send Xiao Ruawen to the cold palace!" Xu Qingfan said, haughtily with his hands on his hips.

"Brother Qing Fan, what about me, what about me, which concubine am I?" Lin Wanning asked eagerly, her face beaming with a smile.

"Wanning? He pretended to think for a moment then said, "Wanning, you’ll be a palace maid from the laundry department, specially responsible for washing my clothes and cooking my meals, haha..." Xu Qingfan couldn’t help but laugh out loud after speaking.

"Brother Qing Fan, how could you be like this, I’m not playing with you anymore, hmph!" Lin Wanning crossed her arms and pouted indignantly.

"Just kidding~ Our Wanning is definitely the empress, you are all my empresses!" Xu Qingfan pulled the girls over to comfort them.

"You wish!" Xia Xiaoxiao was the first to disagree.

Wu Lingyu looked back and forth between Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao, her eyes darting around as if deep in thought.

Zhang Yiyi was quietly smiling, enjoying the atmosphere.

"Wanning, let’s ignore him. We’ll be the queens of the daughter country, and Fan is our personal eunuch!" Xiao Ruawen pulled Lin Wanning back to her side, keeping her away from Xu Qingfan.
