Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 403 - 294. Asura Field? Doesn’t exist!

Seeing Xu Qingfan about to speak,

in an instant,

Xia Xiaoxiao’s fingernails turned white from gripping her chopsticks too tightly, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi tensed in anticipation, and Wu Lingyu’s nails dug into her flesh because of her extreme nervousness.

Only Xiao Ruawen was still eating her dumplings, seemingly the sweetened milk had run out on this side, so the girl flipped the bun to continue dipping it in sweetened milk with the clean side.

The girl smacking her lips while eating caused quite a distraction. The group’s gaze, originally fixated on Xu Qingfan, inevitably shifted partly toward her.

Zhao YueMin was speechless and on the verge of collapse inside. As a mother, she was fighting battles for her daughter and was about to kick off a fight when her good daughter was still eating dumplings!

But now wasn’t the time to quibble over this because Xu Qingfan had already spoken, saying,

"Mom, look at you, no one’s drunk here. Why are you talking like that? It’s as if whoever I choose would just marry your son. Right, Xiaoxiao, Ruan Wen?"

"I wouldn’t marry you even if you were the last man on earth, always bullying me!" True to her tsundere nature, Xia Xiaoxiao blurted out her insincere retort without a 0.01-second hesitation.

"Hehe~" After swallowing her dumpling, Xiao Ruawen laughed and said, "Brother Fan is really nice, but talking about marriage is way too early, we’re still just junior high students!"

"You heard that, right? Eat more veggies, old man and old lady. Stop daydreaming about grand affairs all the time." Xu Qingfan nonchalantly reached out with his chopsticks to place a huge piece of pig’s trotter into each of his parents’ bowls.

[My dear parents, just enjoy your pig’s trotters, and please stop making trouble for me!]

Lin Wanning hoped Brother Qingfan would ask her the same question. She wouldn’t give a contradictory answer like Xiaoxiao did, but rather would announce in front of everyone, "I want to marry Brother Qingfan!"

Though she would feel shy for a while, after saying this everyone would surely bless her and Brother Qingfan’s future, so it didn’t matter.

Unfortunately, Xu Qingfan didn’t pose the question again, and Lin Wanning, seeing him back to eating his meal, pouted in disappointment.

If Zhang Yiyi were asked, she would probably say with determination, "If Brother dares to choose, I dare to marry!"

As for Wu Lingyu, the girl would most likely shyly lower her lashes, gently nod her head, her cheeks flushed with a faint blush, and whisper, "Mhm."

Clearly, in the brief moment shorter than 0.01 seconds, Xu Qingfan had instantly clarified his thoughts and made the most appropriate choice.

Wen Wanqing rubbed her daughter’s head. Lin Wanning’s unhappiness was almost written on her face, and as her mother, she naturally knew what was on her mind.

Lin Jing was mentally sweating for her own daughter, too. Being tsundere might be okay if Qingfan only had one female classmate around, but that also depended on the situation!

What time was it now? The enemy’s high ground was about to be broken; if she didn’t defend her tower, it was only a matter of time before their base would be breached.

Zhang Chunxue, on the other hand, was quite open-minded. As long as this brat didn’t let Yiyi down, he could do whatever he wanted.

Zhao YueMin gave up because of her daughter’s passive approach to the game.

As for Li Mei Juan, she really had no idea what was going on. After hearing Xu Qingfan’s words, she just felt that Xiaofan, that kid, was well-cultured and articulate. Anyone would feel good listening to him!

Fortunately, in the time that followed, none of the parents tried to probe further. Xu Aiguo and Yao Jinping didn’t continue to speak and add to his difficulties, allowing Xu Qingfan to survive the crisis of the battlefield without any mishaps.

[Wait a minute, that’s not right. If we’re just friends, why do I always think of a battlefield?] Suddenly struck by this thought, Xu Qingfan tilted his head in confusion.

It seemed that the five girls had explained in advance to the classmates coming over for the meal that they didn’t need to chip in for the expenses, nor did they need to bring gifts for Xu Qingfan.

The five girls’ exact words were, "Your presence is the best gift we could ask for!"

This was in line with Xu Qingfan’s thinking. With his current wealth, there was almost nothing in the world he couldn’t buy, so the value of the gift or whether there was a gift at all really didn’t matter to him.

Instead, it was the intention of the five girls that touched him.

Once the waiter had brought the dessert fruits, the five girls once again stood up and pulled him along.

Having had the experience from the morning, Xu Qingfan was very obedient in following this time.

He was pushed by the five of them to a piece of paper mounted on a board. The paper was nearly three meters long and half a meter wide.

It was densely covered with the names of every student and elder present, and these tightly packed words formed the four large characters "Happy Birthday." The remaining blank spaces were surrounded by numerous warmhearted short blessings, like countless dazzling stars in the night sky.

The five girls said in chorus:

"This is for you."

"For Brother Qingfan!"

"A gift for Brother!"

"Do you like it, Brother Fan?"

"We give this to you, Brother Fan."

Xu Qingfan’s ears suddenly couldn’t hear because his eyes had already recognized the handwriting of the authors.

The rows of blessings had all been written by the five girls themselves, and he could even imagine the scene of them sitting on the ground writing on it.

Someone passed a brush into his hand, then lifted his right hand and guided him to add the final stroke to the character for "joy" in "Happy Birthday."

"Brother Fan?"

"Brother Qingfan!"

The girls took turns fanning him, and Xu Qingfan’s consciousness finally returned to his brain. He stared blankly at the five girls, his eyes brimming with emotion, deep and gentle, as if his eyes contained a clear spring.

Unfortunately, the emotional atmosphere didn’t last long before Xiao Ruawen interrupted it with her singing.

"Brother Fan, go ahead and cry. It’s not a sin for a man to cry~"

"Cry your head off!" he originally intended to thump her on the head, but in the end, he opted for a gentle rub instead.

Xu Qingfan then patted each of the five girls on the head in turn before saying, "I love this gift, really love it!"

"Yay!" Hearing that their hard work over a week was appreciated, the five girls happily jumped and danced around.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn’t really want to jump, but Xiao Ruawen insisted on holding her hand.

Once everyone had eaten their fill, they finally took a group photo in the hotel lobby that included hundreds of people.

Xu Qingfan and the five girls held the extra-large paper with "Happy Birthday" written on it at the very front, their parents stood behind them, and behind those were people standing wherever they could.

After setting up the lights and the camera, the photographer, who had been booked in advance, directed everyone to shout "Cheese" at the same time.

A photograph that Xu Qingfan would cherish for a lifetime was thus taken.

After the photo was taken, everyone swarmed towards Xu Qingfan.

"Happy Birthday, Brother Fan!"

"Ah~ hold steady, don’t drop me!"

"Brother Fan is awesome!!!"
