Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 422 - 307. Xu Qingfan likes big ones_2

```

"Alright, food’s coming right up," Xu Qingfan snapped his fingers, ruffled Xia Xiaoxiao’s hair, then turned to head to the kitchen.

"Hey! You didn’t even ask me what I want to eat!!" Xia Xiaoxiao stamped her feet in frustration, hands on hips.

Xu Qingfan, without turning back, said, "I’m not planning to cook you, so why should I ask?"

"Pfft~" Except for Xia Xiaoxiao, everyone in the room burst into laughter instantly.

"Goose, goose, goose, goose!"

"Ahhh~ Xu Qingfan, I’m going to take you on!" Xia Xiaoxiao charged at him, pretending to fight him bitterly.

The next second, the girl jumped onto his back, pretending to be very angry as she bit his shoulder.

"Stop it, or you really won’t get any," Xu Qingfan said as he caught her thighs and bounced her lightly before speaking.

"Hmph~"

Xia Xiaoxiao hugged his neck tightly and hummed through her nose.

The tsundere girl couldn’t drop her pride to snuggle up to Xu Qingfan on an ordinary day, so she had to replenish her energy in this way.

Once Xu Qingfan opened the fridge to prepare the ingredients, she obediently jumped down and stood beside him, ready to help.

"Ok, slice the beef along the grain, got it?" Seeing the girl standing frozen in place, Xu Qingfan handed her a premium piece of marbled fatty beef from the fridge.

"What’s so difficult about that!" she said, taking the beef from him.

To be able to help out like Wu Lingyu, Xia Xiaoxiao had secretly watched plenty of cooking tutorial videos!

Xu Qingfan finished preparing the shrimp and crabs, then turned around to see that Xia Xiaoxiao wasn’t making a mess of things. Satisfied, he began to rinse rice for congee.

Since the late-night snack was meant to be light, Wu Lingyu tidied up her homework, peeked into the kitchen, saw that she wasn’t needed, and went back to the living room.

At the moment, Xu Qingfan was stir-frying rice noodles over high heat, expertly flipping the noodles that had been fried until fragrant. Anyone knowledgeable would know at a glance that he was preparing to make a wet stir-fried beef ho fun.

For wet stir-fried beef ho fun, you first fry the rice noodles until they’re fragrant and soft. After washing the pan, you add beef, bean sprouts, green onions, and other ingredients with a special thick sauce, then spread it over the fried noodles.

Compared to dry stir-fried beef ho fun, wet stir-fried beef ho fun is richer in texture and less likely to cause indigestion when eaten late at night.

The seafood congee was quickly ready after crushing the rice and boiling it.

Xu Qingfan, holding the pot of congee, and Xia Xiaoxiao, carrying the stir-fried noodles, walked out of the kitchen one after the other.

"Smells amazing!" Lin Wanning and Xiao Ruawen couldn’t wait to sneak a piece of the beef with their hands.

The two had been studying hard all evening just for this late-night meal. After eating, they would brush their teeth and go to bed—it was such a delightful life.

"Go wash your hands, they’re covered in ink," Xu Qingfan chided the two.

"Hehe!"

It was already past ten at night, and the only thing left playing on the TV were those patriotic war dramas.

But at that moment, the TV just served as background noise. The six of them sat around the living room coffee table enjoying the late-night snack, chatting about the plans for Lin Wanning’s birthday celebration the next day.

"Should we bring the cake back to school and share it with our classmates?"

"And then end up on the honor roll again?" Xu Qingfan glared at Xiao Ruawen, who had suggested the idea.

"That’d be cool too, like last time. The whole school celebrated that student’s birthday on the bulletin board, and it was you, Brother Fan, who led the way," Xiao Ruawen pointed at his nose as she spoke.

Xu Qingfan swatted away the girl’s pointing finger: "That time was because that director was too heartless. Not only did he throw away someone’s birthday cake, but he also called for a reprimand. Uncle could bear it, but Brother Fan could not!"

"Brother is so cool," Zhang Yiyi said with stars in her eyes.

That day, right after the director put up the censure notice and left, Xu Qingfan quickly took a marker and wrote "Happy Birthday" in big letters on it, also leaving his name and the date.

Students who were originally just onlookers immediately erupted with excitement, because it was truly cool, especially since Xu Qingfan was already a celebrity at school.

Then more and more students spontaneously came to the notice board to leave their well-wishes. When there was no more space on the notice, they wrote on the wall next to it, until the whole bulletin wall was filled with birthday blessings.

The director, having no other choice, took down the notice of censure that very day.

With the events of the first year behind them, the school naturally did not dare to punish Xu Qingfan, so the matter was left unresolved.

The dragon-slaying hero had ultimately defeated the dragon, a tale from their schooldays worth remembering for a lifetime.

"So that’s why we should definitely take the cake back to school!" Xiao Ruawen, momentarily forgetting to eat, stood with her hands on her hips and said: "Where there’s oppression, there’s resistance!"

```

"I’m not rebelling against you for nothing, happy only if I get reported and criticized as well, right? School rules clearly prohibit bringing in outside food, so sneaking it in this time is a different matter." Xu Qingfan tapped the rebellious girl’s head with the reverse end of his chopsticks.

"Hmph, if we can’t bring it then we can’t, why the violence!" Xiao Ruawen said, visibly upset as she scraped the rice noodles from Xu Qingfan’s bowl into her own and began to wolf them down.

Xu Qingfan was flabbergasted and for a moment forgot to stop her, "Damn, Xiao Ruawen, are you a dog or what!"

"Hahaha!" The five girls burst into laughter, almost falling to the ground.

"Brother Qing Fan, why did you say ’also’?" Lin Wanning spotted the keyword and asked.

Xu Qingfan instinctively looked at Xia Xiaoxiao and before he could speak, the girl answered for him: "Because he is one himself!"

True to her word, as soon as Xia Xiaoxiao spoke, Xu Qingfan snatched the large shrimp from Xiao Ruawen’s bowl.

"Ah~ Brother Chou Fan, I was saving that for last!" Xiao Ruawen protested with a near-tearful look after her food was stolen.

"That’s what you get for taking my fried rice noodles," Xu Qingfan said smugly.

Wu Lingyu glanced at the two of them, then picked up the remaining large shrimp from her bowl and gave it to Xiao Ruawen, "Ruan Wen, you eat mine. Brother Fan needs to eat more to grow."

"Hehe~ Yu is the best! But speaking of growing..." Xiao Ruawen looked down subconsciously, seeing nothing.

She then returned the large shrimp to Wu Lingyu, "You should eat it instead, Yu."

"Indeed, no need to give it to Ruan Wen, she’s old enough already," Xu Qingfan commented dryly.

"Brother Fan, are you asking for a beating?" Ruan Wen said, blushing as she covered her chest when she caught him glancing sideways at it.

Zhang Yiyi and Lin Wanning exchanged glances, then lowered their heads too, able to see their own feet.

The two girls sighed quietly.

[Xiao Xiao is also adorable, Brother Qing Fan, why do you only like the big ones... Wait, not Xiao Xiao, but that place is small... Anyway, it’s not Xiao Xiao’s ’small’...]

[Mom’s is quite big, it should... it should still be able to grow...]

Xia Xiaoxiao instinctively puffed up her chest, feigning disdain as she said: "That’s how boys are."

"It’s not like that... Brother Fan isn’t that kind of person," Wu Lingyu said, looking down to survey everyone’s expressions before speaking up for her Brother Fan.

[But... Brother Fan does seem to enjoy looking at Ruan Wen quite a bit...] The girl thought, and her head drooped a bit in dejection.

"Yu understands me the best, outer beauty is deceptive, true beauty lies within!" Xu Qingfan declared earnestly.

"Yeah right~" Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruawen scoffed in unison.

The other three girls, although not echoing them, were very clear about what kind of person Xu Qingfan really was.

"It’s only to Brother Fan that I’d tolerate that kind of look! If it were someone else daring to look at me that way!" Xiao Ruawen clenched her small fists, her meaning not needing further explanation.

"A girl’s home is known by her fighting, go eat your noodles," Xu Qingfan said as he tapped the girl’s head again.

"Wu~" The wronged girl once again transformed into a dedicated eater.

After finishing their late-night snacks, the six of them tidied up, putting dishes and utensils into the dishwasher.

After brushing their teeth, it was almost eleven at night, and the five girls habitually entered Xu Qingfan’s room to say goodnight to him.

"Goodnight, Brother Fan!"

"Goodnight, stinky dog!"

"Brother, goodnight!"

Lin Wanning was the last one to come in. Imitating what Xia Xiaoxiao had just done, she jumped onto Xu Qingfan’s back from behind, whispered beside the boy’s ear: "Don’t forget, Brother Qing Fan, after waking up tomorrow, I want to see Brother Qing Fan first thing!"

"Got it, I’ll set three alarms then, and be by the bed before six o’clock waiting for you to wake up," Xu Qingfan said, affectionately patting her thigh.

"Hehe~" Lin Wanning pecked his cheek contentedly before jumping down.

"You," he said somewhat helplessly, touching the spot where he was just kissed, spoke in a lowered voice: "If Xiao Xiao sees you, she’ll get angry again. Go back to sleep, you’ll see me when you wake up."

"But Brother Qing Fan hasn’t said goodnight to me yet," Lin Wanning revealed her white teeth, beaming with a smile.

"Alright~ Goodnight, Wanning."

"Goodnight, Brother Qing Fan!"
