Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 391 - 285. Can’t let Wanning down!
Xu Qingfan originally thought this trip would allow him to continue to showcase his abilities, but he clearly overestimated his own capacity, or perhaps underestimated Aunt Zhang’s level.
Regarding the cooperation with Sina Weibo, Zhang Chunxue had already had her staff working overtime last night to draft the plan, which he now held in his hand on an A4 paper.
Xu Qingfan silently read the content, which included not only the specific obligations and responsibilities of both parties but also detailed timelines—clearly much stronger than the ideas he had spontaneously come up with last night.
"Alright, Aunt Zhang truly is Aunt Zhang, but what about the kiss we agreed on just now?" Xu Qingfan put down the A4 paper and leaned in with a smile to ask.
Zhang Chunxue gave him a light peck on the cheek, leaving behind a faint lipstick mark, "Our Xiao Fan is still very capable, at least I couldn’t have thought of such a circle-breaking marketing plan."

"Both brother and mom are awesome!" Zhang Yiyi pursed her lips with a smile, walked closer, and kissed each of their cheeks.
"Sister Zhang, your…documents," the secretary happened to push the door open at this moment and was momentarily stunned by the very warm scene.
Zhang Chunxue didn’t mind their intimate interaction being seen by the secretary, since there was nothing to hide. She patted both of their heads and said, "Hmm, you two go wander around a bit, and if you need to go out, just talk to Xiao Juan."
"No need to trouble Sister Zhang, if we go out, we’ll just take the subway by ourselves." Xu Qingfan smiled at the secretary, took Zhang Yiyi’s hand, and prepared to slip away.
"Go ahead, take Yiyi out for a walk for me. I’ll come to take you guys out for lunch at noon," Zhang Chunxue said, feeling that Xu Qingfan spent significantly less time with her daughter compared to Ning and Xiao Xiao, the two other girls.
"Got it, got it, and be safe, right? We’ll definitely be careful."
"Bye mom, bye sister!" Zhang Yiyi was dragged away by Xu Qingfan while she looked back, waved, and bid farewell.
"Have fun," Zhang Chunxue playfully winked at her daughter.
Zhang Yiyi was first taken aback when she saw this, then she promptly responded with a cute wink of her own, the silent understanding between mother and daughter unspeakable to outsiders.
[I can go out with brother again!]
Zhang Yiyi was still thinking about their beach stroll a few days ago. Although it seemed somewhat unfair to her good friend Wanning, she definitely looked forward to spending time alone with her brother more than with the three of them together.
[I can’t let Wanning down.] The girl shook her head, discarding the selfish thought.
Xu Qingfan walked through the vast office hall hand in hand with Zhang Yiyi, unknown to the regular employees working outside that he was actually one of the major shareholders.
As a result, everyone was busy with their heads down, the tapping on the keyboards forming a chaotic symphony.
The two soon took the elevator out of the office building and stood under the eaves looking up; the ten o’clock sun was dazzling, making it hard to keep one’s eyes fully open.
"Got a sun parasol!" Zhang Yiyi moved the backpack she was carrying behind her to the front, unzipped it, and pulled out a small, delicate umbrella.
Xu Qingfan took it and opened it; the small umbrella was barely wider than a sand well cover. "It’s so tiny, Yiyi’s going to get her butt sunburned," he joked.
Zhang Yiyi looped her arm through his, smiling sweetly, "If I stay close to my brother, it’ll be just fine."
The girl could have chosen a larger umbrella when she left home in the morning, but she anticipated the scene that might unfold and shook her head, deciding to take the smallest one instead.
```
Now, it came in handy!
Together they held an umbrella as they strolled under the blazing sun, and within the dry hot weather, beads of sweat quickly dotted their foreheads.
Xu Qingfan and Zhang Yiyi didn’t have any specific destinations in mind, but they decided to head toward the subway station first, where they could enjoy the cool air conditioning.
After passing through security and buying their subway tickets, since they had no particular place to go, they waited until the crowd thinned and got on a train without even checking its destination.
Once they found a seat for two, Zhang Yiyi pulled out a tissue and raised her hand to wipe his sweat.
"Thanks, Yiyi," Xu Qingfan said, lowering his head and taking for granted the girl’s gesture of care.
After wiping her brother’s forehead, Zhang Yiyi glanced at the tissue and noticed that it was only slightly damp since they only walked for a few minutes and Xu Qingfan hadn’t sweated much.
Zhang Yiyi bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then turned the tissue over to the clean side and used it to wipe her own sweat.
[We must protect the forest environment, can’t waste tissues!]
Xu Qingfan was looking at the signs for the upcoming stations, so he didn’t notice her small act, "Let’s get off at the next station and then transfer to Dongshan’s walking street, okay?"
"Whatever brother says," Zhang Yiyi replied, hastily wiping the sweat from her face before he turned around and pinched the tissue in her palm.
"How come you always listen to me? Don’t you have any place you want to go?" Xu Qingfan still hoped the young girls around him would have more of their own opinions and not depend on him for everything.
Zhang Yiyi tilted her body slightly and leaned her head on his shoulder. After pondering for a bit, she said, "I want to go on the ferris wheel with brother!"
As a young girl her age, Zhang Yiyi had naturally heard many legends about ferris wheels—that couples who ride it together might end up breaking up, but if they kiss at the highest point, they will stay together forever.
And the romance of the ferris wheel lies in the fact that, whether at the peak or in the trough, it revolves around you, never leaving you behind.
Zhang Yiyi felt like the saying was about her because her brother was also her sun, of course, he had to be the center of her universe, never to be abandoned!
"Yiyi wants to ride the ferris wheel?" Xu Qingfan blinked his eyes.
"With brother," Zhang Yiyi corrected.
"Then on National Day, I’ll take Yiyi to ride it. By then, the Canton Tower will be open to the public, and if we’re going to ride one, we might as well ride the tallest ferris wheel in the world." Although the landmark of Hong Kong, the Canton Tower, was completed last year, it wouldn’t open to the public until this year’s National Day.
Zhang Yiyi’s eyes sparkled, and eager as if afraid the young man might change his mind, she quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes!"
"We’ll watch the sunset from the ferris wheel, sunset from 400 meters up in the air must be beautiful," he said, naturally putting his arm around the girl’s shoulders.
"Mhm!" Zhang Yiyi shifted a bit so she could get even closer to her brother.
[National Day, brother will go on the ferris wheel with Yiyi~]
[But Wanning... Wanning probably also wants to go on the ferris wheel with brother...]
