"How about this? We can video chat and sleep, and when you wake up, Wanning, you’ll see me first thing when you look at the screen,"

Lin Wanning shook her head like a bobblehead doll: "No, no, that’s not the same as seeing Brother Qingfan, I want to see the real person!"

"Brother, no cheating!" Zhang Yiyi naturally sided with her good friend and echoed in agreement.

"Yiyi, have you decided what you want for your birthday gift?" Unable to think of a solution, Xu Qingfan decided to change the subject.

"I already told Brother,"

"You told me already? When?" he blinked, puzzled.

Smiling, Zhang Yiyi shook her head and placed her finger on his lips, "I’ve told you already, Brother, think hard!"

Xu Qingfan quickly recalled their past moments, and realized there weren’t many occasions where he was alone with the young girl, except for the Xiangjiang trip and the World Cup event.

[During the beach walk, Yiyi called me her sun, and asked if I’d date in high school, seems like that’s it. At Dongshan, I accompanied Yiyi to take photo booth pictures, but the wedding photo came out blurry and wasn’t kept. Could it be that?]

[Oh right, the Ferris wheel! I promised to take Yiyi on the Ferris wheel during the National Day!]

"I know what Yiyi wants for her birthday gift," he said confidently, rubbing her head after a moment.

The girl’s eyes lit up, "Brother knows?"

"What kind of duck is Brother Qingfan?"

Holding up three fingers, Xu Qingfan mouthed the words "Ferris wheel," "Is that right?" he asked.

"Mm-hmm!"

Zhang Yiyi’s face brightened with a joyful smile as she hugged his arm and leaned on his shoulder: "Brother is great!"

"What kind of duck, tell me!" Lin Wanning insisted, squeezing herself between them and wrapping her arms around both their arms.

"Going on the Ferris wheel, with Brother," Zhang Yiyi thought for a moment, then added: "and with Wanning."

"Wow~ is it the tallest Ferris wheel in the world at ’Xiaomanyao,’ that sounds great!" Lin Wanning’s eyes shone brightly; she was the one who told Zhang Yiyi about the Ferris wheel.

But after the surprise and excitement, she quickly calmed down, [It’s Yiyi’s birthday, Wanning, you can’t be so selfish!]

Lin Wanning put away her smile and said earnestly: "Why does it include me? It’s Yiyi’s birthday, so of course, Yiyi should go on the Ferris wheel with Brother Qingfan. The three of us can go anytime, but Yiyi’s fifteenth birthday only happens once in a lifetime!"

Zhang Yiyi felt warm inside; just thinking about that time she secretly took a wedding photo without telling Wanning made her feel guilty.

"We made a pinky promise to always be together, so we should go together!" Zhang Yiyi raised her little finger and said just as earnestly.

Lin Wanning felt guilty as well, she always forgot about Yiyi every time she snuggled into Brother Fan’s bed, but Yiyi always remembered her every time.

"Yiyi, you’re so kind!" With that thought, the girl couldn’t help but hug the girl in front of her tenderly.

"Wanning is the kind one!" Zhang Yiyi hugged back the girl in front of her.

Just as the two were enacting a deep sisterly bond in the living room, suddenly, a sound of a thigh being slapped broke the atmosphere.

"Damn, how could I be so stupid!" Xu Qingfan blew on the spot he had just slapped on his leg.

Both Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi blinked in confusion, not understanding what Brother was up to.

"Brother Qingfan, what are you talking about?"

"What’s wrong with Brother?"

The two asked simultaneously.

"Wanning, you want to wake up and see me right away, right?" Xu Qingfan asked confidently.

"Yes," Lin Wanning nodded blankly.

Following suit without thinking, Zhang Yiyi also nodded along.

Xu Qingfan snapped his fingers: "That’s easy, on your birthday, I’ll set an alarm early and then wake you up."

"Ah?" The two girls hadn’t expected this solution and looked somewhat stupefied.

"See, I’ll wake up at six in the morning, then come to the room next door to wake you, and the first person you see when you open your eyes will be me," Xu Qingfan explained with a shrug.

"But.... but..." Lin Wanning had imagined a different scenario! Enjoy exclusive chapters from novelbuddy

[Shouldn’t it be me sneaking into Brother Qingfan’s bed in the middle of the night, then counting his heartbeats as I fall asleep, and when I wake up, open my eyes and say ’good morning’ to Brother Qingfan?]

"No buts, your birthday surprise is this, but you can still change it if you don’t like it," Xu Qingfan said, pinching the girl’s face with a grin.

"Oh~" Lin Wanning pouted, feeling aggrieved.

Only Zhang Yiyi stood awkwardly to the side, sticking out her tongue, clearly feeling sorry for offering her good friend bad advice the night before.

"Let’s go, it’s time to buy groceries, and then we can head back to my place, just in time for eleven thirty." He glanced at the wall clock; it was already half-past ten.

"Yeah!"

Lin Wanning exchanged glum looks with Zhang Yiyi, both of them shrugging and wearing helpless bitter smiles on their faces.

...

After a shopping trip to Xingfa Market, the electric bike loaded with plastic bags carried the three of them back to Lianhua Courtyard.

Today was rare in that Yao Jiping hadn’t dragged Lin Jing out to play mahjong; the living room buzzed with activity when the three of them arrived home.

After the pleasantries, Xu Qingfan was sent to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Wu Lingyu wanted to join him, but Yao’s mother pulled her back.

In the living room, Yao Jiping sat with Lin Wanning on her left and Xia Xiaoxiao on her right, and next to them were Zhang Yiyi and Wu Lingyu.
