Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 352 - 257. Five Women’s Conspiracy
Xu Qingfan, with a toothbrush still in his mouth, looked down at the broken washbasin, speechless for quite a while.
’[I’ve never heard of anything like this in my previous life. Maybe let Yu take the blame.]’
If the washbasin had been damaged by him, Yao Jinping would definitely not let him off without a scolding, but if the culprit was Wu Lingyu, she would probably just ask with concern if anyone was hurt and then complain about shoddy workmanship.
Why is there such a big gap between people? Xu Qingfan squatted in the toilet brushing his teeth, speechless for quite a while.
After finishing his troubled wash and dodging obstacles to escape from the bathroom, Xu Qingfan went straight to Xia Xiaoxiao’s next door, only to find both doors firmly locked.
"It’s past ten o’clock, they can’t possibly still be asleep. Where have these two run off to now?" With his plan to let Yu take the fall falling through, he had no choice but to return home.
Xu Qingfan took out his phone, opened QQ to check, and found that all five girls hadn’t sent him messages today, which puzzled him even more.
But girls always have some secret topics they only share among themselves, so Xu Qingfan just sent a "Where are you guys?" in their six-person group chat and didn’t dwell on it any further.
The most urgent task was to find someone to fix the toilet as soon as possible, not to mention he hadn’t had breakfast yet.
Xu Qingfan grabbed his money and keys, put on his shoes, locked the door, and left.
The June rains hadn’t arrived yet, and the whole city was enveloped in a dry, hot atmosphere, with incessant cicada chirps that were irritating to hear.
It was only a little past ten in the morning and the temperature was already close to thirty degrees, with many men walking around shirtless in the heat. A gust of wind brought no relief as it was merely the output from air conditioning units.
After downing a chilled bottle of Vitasoy, Xu Qingfan finally gained some appetite and managed to eat a whole serving of rice noodle rolls.
After breakfast, he hurried to Guangming Road’s hardware and home renovation strip.
"Could you make it cheaper, 1,500 should do it." Even as a multimillionaire, he still followed the philosophy of saving where he should and spending where he must, rolling up his sleeves and haggling with the middle-aged shop owner.
"You must be joking, sell it to me for 1,500. I come here for stock and will take as much as you’ve got. The lowest I’ll go is 2,800, and you’ll get the same price at other stores!" The owner, with an indifferent expression, picked at his teeth with a toothpick, looking very punchable.
Xu Qingfan rolled his eyes, convinced that the several stores had conspired together; otherwise, how could a broken washbasin be so expensive? To think that the average price per square meter in Li City was only a tad over 3,000!
"2,800 it is then, but can you get it done before twelve o’clock, at Lianhua Courtyard." But he couldn’t just not get it fixed, so he had to begrudgingly accept the inflated price.
"Hehe~ I’ll have it done for you before 11:30, time to pay!" The middle-aged man’s demeanor changed instantly, cheerfully stating.
While Xu Qingfan’s toilet repair saga was unfolding, the five girls had also managed to meet up successfully.
"Sorry, sorry, I overslept," Xiao Ruawen rushed in last, still biting into a half-eaten pork bun.
"Ruan Wen, slow down, don’t choke," Wu Lingyu quickly handed her the milk tea they had ordered earlier.
"Choke~" The girl guzzled down half a glass of lemon water, caught her breath, and then said, "Thanks, Yu. Let’s get started!"
"Still so impulsive," Xia Xiaoxiao teased, shifting over to make room for Xiao Ruawen to sit.
"Hehe, now that Ruawen’s here, let’s begin. The 8th birthday brainstorming session for Brother Qingfan officially starts!" Lin Wanning announced energetically, palms together.
"I’ll go first, Brother Fan likes the anime world, right? What if we cosplay as K-ON! on his birthday?" Xiao Ruawen clearly came prepared, putting forth her idea as soon as she sat down.
"That’s good!"
"Agree!"
"I’m fine with whatever."
"I’ll listen to everyone."
The five girls exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus, agreeing to cosplay, but the characters would be decided later.
"Then I’ll go second. We can get up early and sneak onto Brother Qing Fan’s bed, and give him a scare when he wakes up!" Lin Wanning had thought about this little surprise for a long time. It fulfilled her small wish to sneak into Brother Qing Fan’s blanket and could also give Brother Qing Fan a start.
"Ah?"
"This..."
Zhang Yiyi was in the know, so she didn’t give her opinion, while Wu Lingyu would accept anyone’s ideas, even if she didn’t like them.
"What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Isn’t it good, isn’t it good?" Seeing Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruawen’s expressions, Lin Wanning took her hand out from under her butt and asked.
"Well... It’s not that it’s bad, hahaha, it just feels more like a fright than a surprise," Xiao Ruawen explained with a laugh.
"It’s fine, though. It’d be even better if we each drew a pig face on his face," Xia Xiaoxiao also shared her opinion.
"Hee hee~," Lin Wanning giggled at the thought of Brother Qing Fan’s expression when he would wake up and find a pig face drawn on his own in the mirror.
"We’ll get spanked by Brother Qing Fan for that, won’t we?"
"What’s there to be scared of? When the time comes, we’ll let Xiao Xiao take the lead, hehe~ and we’ll watch the drama from behind," Xiao Ruawen snuggled into the girl’s embrace and laughed.
"I’m spanking you right now!"
"Goose goose goose~ Xiao Xiao, I’m sorry, don’t ah~"
[But getting spanked by Brother Qing Fan also isn’t so bad... hee hee...]
The second suggestion also quickly reached a consensus: all five of them would sneak into the blanket and scare Xu Qingfan. Whether or not to draw a pig face would be decided later.
"Rent out a movie theater, play a memory video." Then Zhang Yiyi shared the idea she had thought about all night.
"I agree."
"I think that can be improved. Like those prank videos abroad, we start with a normal movie clip and then suddenly insert our video!" How else could Xia Xiaoxiao be the surfing champion? She immediately suggested an improvement.
"Xiao Xiao is onto something. I think we can also agree in advance to invite some elementary school classmates to watch together!"
"Should we invite the uncles and aunties too?" Wu Lingyu also rarely voiced her opinion.
"Of course we should. When we turn off the lights inside the theater and it’s pitch black, nobody will know who’s there anyway. Halfway through, when we suddenly say we need to go to the bathroom, then we come in singing ’Happy Birthday,’ pushing the cake trolley. We’ll definitely move Brother Fan to tears!"
"Wow~"
The girls pictured the scene in their minds; it promised to be thrilling.
"When the time comes, we all sing ’Happy Birthday’ together. We have to say some really touching words; we must make Brother Fan cry!" Xiao Ruawen imagined the scene of a tough guy shedding tears and laughed wildly, "Goose goose goose~"

"Let’s move Brother Qing Fan to tears, make him drop precious pearls!"
"Make Brother cry!"
"Play this stinky dog dirt!"
"Noted, noted. Let’s continue..."
