Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 411: I really don’t like Xiao Xiao at all.

After Xu Qingfan’s exciting birthday, the World Cup continued in full swing for the following two weeks.

On July 3rd, Uragu vs Ghana saw the surprising appearance of the "Hand of God"; on the 7th, Windmill Country smoothly advanced into the final by defeating Uragu; and on the 13th, in the final match, Spain and Windmill Country battled it out for ninety minutes, with Spain ultimately outplaying their opponents in extra time, winning 1:0.

As expected, Xu Qingfan’s subsequent predictions for the semi-finalists and the champion and runner-up all came true. Whether it was him, Good Taste Takeout, or the vast number of fans who believed in him, the theme of this hot summer was preordained to be just two words—harvest time!

In just over a month, Xu Qingfan’s Weibo smoothly gained more than ten million new followers, catapulting him to the position of the number one internet celebrity on Sina Weibo.

Furthermore, the mobile registrations and daily active users of Good Taste Takeout also surged from the original 2 million/200,000 to well over five times that number. The registered users smoothly broke through the ten million mark, and the peak daily active users even reached more than four million.

During this period, an interesting thing happened. A kind and simple college student from a university managed to invite over two hundred new users by distributing brochures with his invitation code throughout the entire campus.

According to the official website’s event, for each new user invited, one could receive a reward equivalent to 10 yuan in tasty beans.

However, after receiving the tasty beans, this person did not exchange them directly for rewards but instead followed Xu Qingfan’s strategy without fail.

If Xu Qingfan said it, he would bet on it, following his advice from the group stage all the way to the final.

In the past, Chen Daozai won 37 million with just 20 yuan; the amazing college student, with less than five yuan spent on printing A4 paper, ended up exchanging over 300,000 yuan in vouchers at the final tally.

This was only discovered when he flaunted his success under Xu Qingfan’s Weibo post.

When he told Zhang Chunxue about this, the aunt couldn’t stop smiling.

That same day, an interview with the amazing college student was freshly released.

The interview concluded with the college student’s own words, "Over 300,000 yuan, I was worried at first that they wouldn’t pay, but they settled it quickly and painlessly on the same day. I love Good Taste Takeout, I love Hong Kong’s most affectionate, and I guess I don’t need to worry about my food expenses for the rest of the year, huh?"

As expected, once the interview was published, it instantly became the hot topic of the day and its popularity remained high for over a week, acting like a shot in the arm for the platform’s dwindling traffic after the end of the World Cup.

In conjunction with their earlier project, College Food City, Good Taste Takeout had by now captured nearly ninety percent of the college market nationwide. With the universal spread of smartphones just around the corner, Good Taste Takeout’s transformation into a dragon amidst the winds of change seemed almost a certainty.

...

After celebrating Wu Lingyu’s birthday in July, the tail end of August was spent celebrating Xiao Ruawen’s birthday.

In the blink of an eye, the long summer vacation quietly came to an end.

September 1st.

[Open your eyes, please go outdoors for activities, or gaze into the distance…]

Even though it had been more than two months since they last did eye exercises, muscle memory from long-term practice kicked in, and hands went to the correct positions as soon as the music started.

But since it was just the beginning of the new term, the spirits of the classmates weren’t too high, and they took advantage of the moment after the eye exercises to take a quick nap on their desks.

Lin Wanning originally wanted to lie down and sleep as well, but as soon as she lay down on her desk, Xu Qingfan grabbed her by the nape of her fate.

"There’s one more class and then it’s time to go home, you can sleep then," he said, supporting his cheek with one hand and leaning on the desk, idly playing with the girl’s hair.

Lin Wanning stretched and yawned, rubbing her eyes and saying, "Ha~ I won’t be sleepy by the time I get home."

"Quack quack quack~ I remember last semester when the homeroom teacher said the summer break before going up to the ninth grade is the scariest, and everyone in the class was as energetic as if they were injected with chicken blood. How come everyone became like this just after vacation ended?" Xiao Ruawen dangled her legs from her chair, as if she found it very amusing.

"Be careful not to fall," Xia Xiaoxiao gave her a glance and pushed the girl’s chair down with her hand.

"Why bother with others? The goal for us is to get into the key high school section. You and Wanning need to do well in chemistry this term," Xu Qingfan said, taking out the ninth-grade chemistry book from his drawer for the next lesson—chemistry class.

"The high school section is definitely not a problem, ya. Even if I get only sixty points in chemistry, I can still go there....But I’ll still try hard!" Seeing Brother Qing Fan staring at her with a look of impending doom, Lin Wanning energetically promised.

"Let’s all work hard together!" Zhang Yiyi supported Wanning immediately, raising her fist and saying.

"Right, let’s all work hard together!"

"Mm!"

The time for eye exercises at their school was included in the break between classes, so they had barely exchanged a few words when the bell for class rang.

Since it was the first lesson, as soon as the bell sounded, the chemistry teacher stepped into the classroom right on cue.

"Hello, everyone, I’m your unsuspecting chemistry teacher, my giao’s Zha Zha Hui, the same one as that Hong Kong movie star Zha Zha Hui."

It was the same familiar introduction which Xu Qingfan was hearing for the second time, and he still couldn’t help but laugh out loud with the other students, calling out, "Teacher, stop talking nonsense!"

True to form, Zhang Jiahui immediately switched back to the local dialect, "For future chemistry classes, unless something unexpected happens, we’ll be teaching in Cantonese. That’s it for the introduction, let’s start the actual lesson now."

This was a humorous and witty chemistry teacher, and Xu Qingfan, who had studied chemistry for his bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in his previous life, could not deny that this teacher had been an influence on him.

It was just the pure Cantonese teaching that resulted in a few students in the class who only spoke Mandarin lagging behind in chemistry.

Wu Lingyu had been with them for so long that she can now speak Cantonese fluently, so there’s no need to worry.

"Before we start the lesson, let me ask my students a question. What is the field of chemistry?"

"Chemistry is a science based on experiments!" As soon as he finished speaking, a student who had pre-studied enthusiastically shouted the answer.

Zha Zha Hui shook his head, "Chemistry is everything, everything you see in your life falls under the category of chemistry!"

"For instance, some food products advertise that they contain no chemical ingredients. Even air is a chemical, so what are they selling? They can’t possibly be selling an empty vacuum bag, especially since the bag is made of polyethylene, which is also chemistry."

"Many classmates in our class might not make it into high school, while others may continue on to get their doctorate. But regardless, I hope that after having my class, you won’t be deceived by some highfalutin pseudoscience anymore."

The five girls turned around in surprise and looked at him, their expressions seemed to say, are there really teachers like this?

Xu Qingfan shrugged with a smile, "Let’s start the class."

...

On the way back from school.

"Goose, goose, goose~ this chemistry teacher is so fun, it’s my first time seeing a teacher give lessons in Cantonese."

"But his Mandarin, if you listen to it the whole time, it’s torture too." Xia Xiaoxiao imagined such a scene and instantly frowned.

"Brother Fan, is there anything in this world that does not fall under the category of chemistry?" Wu Lingyu was quite interested in this question.

She had been thinking for almost a whole class period, but it seemed that, just as that teacher said, chemistry is everything.

"Brother Qing Fan is... Eh~ that doesn’t seem right either, Brother Qing Fan is also chemistry." Lin Wanning was about to answer quickly but then realized that her Brother Qing Fan was also chemistry.

The other three girls also pondered this question, but none of them came up with an answer, and eventually, they all turned their gazes to Xu Qingfan.

Xu Qingfan indeed knew the answer; his university ideology and ethics class had not been wasted. He said, "You listen to his nonsense. Chemistry is everything is definitely wrong. This is a materialist view that exaggerates the importance and proclaims that all phenomena in nature arise from the movement of matter and the interaction of forces.

It overemphasizes the importance of the material world, ignoring the existence and influence of non-material aspects of human spirit and consciousness. So it’s wrong!"

Xu Qingfan spoke in abstractions, and naturally, the five girls found it confusing.

"Speak human language!" Xia Xiaoxiao walked over and tugged at his ear.

"Ouch~ what are you doing?" Xu Qingfan promptly retaliated, aiming his hand at the girl’s armpit.

"Ah~ Stinky Xu Qingfan!" Xia Xiaoxiao instantly ran off with her chest covered in embarrassment. That bad dog, she didn’t know if it was on purpose, but he had just touched her somewhere else.

[It must have been on purpose!]

Luckily, only the two of them knew about this scene. Xu Qingfan awkwardly put his hand back in his pocket, feeling strangely that it was all too familiar.

Pretending nothing had happened, he continued as if nothing had happened, "Ahem... In human language, that is, philosophy, religion, thought, soul, that kind of idealistic things, they do not fall under the category of chemistry."

"Oh~" The four girls suddenly saw the light.

Xia Xiaoxiao glaring at him with annoyance, pondered whether what that stinky dog touched just now was idealistic or materialistic?

"Brother Qing Fan, I got it. For example..." Lin Wanning shyly glanced at Xu Qingfan before continuing, "For example, my liking for Brother Qing Fan doesn’t fall under the category of chemistry, right?"

"And also, my love for the meals Brother Fan cooks, that’s not chemistry either!"

"Hoping for dad to get better!"

"Wishing for everyone to be well."

"To beat up this Xu Qingfan!" Xia Xiaoxiao said lastly, revealing her fangs.

"Haha, Xiaoxiao’s is wrong, but all the others are right. I like Wanning, like Yiyi, like Ruan Wen, like Yu, and most of all..."

Xia Xiaoxiao, who had clenched her fists, unconsciously relaxed them, her mouth slightly agape, her fangs forgetting to retract, waiting to hear from Xu Qingfan’s mouth "and most of all, I like Xiao Xiao the most!"

However.

"And most of all, I don’t like Xiaoxiao, these things do not fall under the category of chemistry!"

"Ahhh~ Stinky Xu Qingfan! I’m going to bite you to death!!"

"Hahaha~ Help, my wife is trying to murder me!" Before the girl could pounce on him, Xu Qingfan had already started running.

"You’re gonna murder... Nonsense, you’re not my husband, you’re a stinky husband. Xu Qingfan, stop right there!" Xia Xiaoxiao stomped her feet in anger and in the next moment, chased after him too.

"Hahaha..."
