Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 432 : 313. Admitted

"Xiaoxiao, you like Brother Fan, don't you?" Xiao Ruawen blew a breath in her ear and continued to speak.

Xia Xiaoxiao shivered, stammering as she opened her mouth, "I.. who.. he... I don't like him!"

Xiao Ruawen had a faint smile on her face. She turned her head to the other side of the girl's shoulder and continued in her left ear, "Xiaoxiao, you do like Brother Fan."

By this time, Xia Xiaoxiao was already angry. She turned around to face Xiao Ruawen, preventing the girl from attacking her sensitive ears any further, and pouted, "Only a ghost would like that annoying jerk. It's impossible, impossible in this lifetime!"

"Pfft~"

Xiao Ruawen was successfully amused by Xia Xiaoxiao's shy and embarrassed expression, pointing at her while laughing heartily, "Goose goose goose.. hahaha Xiaoxiao, you are so cute!"

"You are cute; your whole family is cute!"

Furious with embarrassment, she pounced on Xiao Ruawen in the bathtub, but the latter's jujutsu wasn't learned in vain. The outcome of the battle was quickly decided.

"Hehe~ Anyway, it's just the two of us here. Xiaoxiao, be honest, I definitely won't tell anyone." Xiao Ruawen pressed Xia Xiaoxiao's hands behind her back, pinning her against the edge of the bathtub, while her other hand tickled her madly.

"Haha... No.... Only a ghost... likes... likes that stinky dog!" Despite the inhuman torment she was suffering, the hardest part of Xia Xiaoxiao's body remained her mouth.

"Then why did you say when you were arguing with Brother Fan, ahem~" Xiao Ruawen suddenly released Xia Xiaoxiao, coughed twice, took a deep breath, and then mimicked, "Xu Qingfan, I will no longer like you ever again!"

She imitated Xia Xiaoxiao's actions and expressions when she was angry, surprisingly capturing the essence quite well.

Instantly, Xia Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed, she couldn't face anyone. Saying it herself was one thing, but being faced with it by a friend was another. It was extremely embarrassing. Without thinking, she pounced again, "Ah, ah, ah~ Ruanwen, you are so annoying!"

A moment later.

"Haha... I don't... Only a ghost... likes him!"

"Xu Qingfan~ I will no longer like you~" Xiao Ruawen continued to be mockingly sarcastic in her ear.

"Ah, ah, ah... Haha... Xiao Ruawen, just wait... Haha... just wait!" Xia Xiaoxiao had just started to resist, but was quickly subdued by Xiao Ruawen.

The playful scuffle between the two girls continued for a long time.

More than ten minutes later.

"Xu Qingfan~ I will no longer like you..." Xiao Ruawen's voice was hoarse from laughing, but she still spoke weakly.

On the other side, Xia Xiaoxiao was no better off. She simply gave up, lazily saying, "Yes, I did like Xu Qingfan, but that was before. Now, I will never like him again!"

Xiao Ruawen's eyes lit up, and she hugged the girl's fragrant shoulders with what strength she had left, "Hehe... Xiaoxiao, you just keep being tsundere. If you keep being this way, Brother Fan won't want you anymore."

"I..." Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the content on QQ, her eyes dimming for a moment, stubbornly saying, "Anyway, he never liked me. Only a ghost would like him!"

Xiao Ruawen had an auntie-smile on her face, "Xiaoxiao, you just keep being stubborn. Brother Fan's words were just said in anger. Anyone with eyes can see that Brother Fan treats you differently from everyone else."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoxiao felt extremely aggrieved, showing her little tiger teeth, "Isn't it obvious that he treats me differently? He only bullies me!"

"Pfft~ How can that be called bullying? It's a reflection of your special relationship. You two are childhood sweethearts from birth, more so than with us... Okay, maybe not longer than with us combined, but still, I think Brother Fan treats you differently from everyone else!" Xiao Ruawen said decisively, though she couldn't precisely articulate the differences.

[Yeah... We do know each other the longest.... Could it really be like Ruan Wen says... That he treats me differently from everyone else.... But he only knows how to bully me!]

Xia Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought, replaying the bits and pieces of their fifteen years together in her mind.

Seeing that the girl seemed to be listening, Xiao Ruawen continued, "For example, this time, wasn't it the first time Brother Fan got so angry and said those hurtful words? Do you know why?"

Xia Xiaoxiao stared at her blankly, subconsciously nodding, then shaking her head.

Xiao Ruawen's auntie-smile broadened as she continued making stuff up, "It's because Brother Fan cares too much about you!"

"Hmm, hmm?" Xia Xiaoxiao nodded but then felt confused. Was there such a saying?

"Think about it, if Brother Fan hadn't been arguing, and he was wronged by his most cared-for childhood sweetheart, wouldn't you be aggrieved if it were you?" Xiao Ruawen stopped smiling, looking serious as she asked.

Xia Xiaoxiao imagined herself being the victim, subconsciously nodding. If Xu Qingfan wronged her, she would be extremely aggrieved!

"That's right. It's because Xiaoxiao, you wronged Brother Fan and didn't trust him, so Brother Fan was very aggrieved and got angry," Xiao Ruawen pinched the girl's face and continued, "Then, instead of giving him a break, you said you would ignore him for the rest of your life, never wanting to see him again, and never liking him again. Those hurtful words!"

"Think about it, weren't you very sad and upset when you saw that QQ message earlier? Brother Fan must have felt the same way!" Xiao Ruawen finished speaking and patted the girl's head, as if trying to wake her up.

Xia Xiaoxiao thought again about the QQ message, saying she was unreasonable, said she was self-centered, and called her an overgrown baby!

[How am I self-centered... Even if Wanning had just arrived, could he just mess around like that, setting up a tent.... and yelling at me.... I was wrong, but wasn't he too!]

As she thought about it, Xia Xiaoxiao felt like crying again. Although she was wrong, Xu Qingfan was the one who was wrong first. If anyone needed to apologize, it should be him apologizing to her first!

"Boohoo... So, he can just bully me like that?" Her voice was choked with sobs as she questioned.

"Err..." Xiao Ruawen scratched her head. Her original plan was to bring everyone back on good terms. Now, she had no choice but to continue along this line, "Of course, Brother Fan bullying you was wrong, but Xiaoxiao, breaking things and saying those words was also wrong. So, it's even."

"He was wrong first!" Xia Xiaoxiao shouted stubbornly.

"Yes, yes, Brother Fan was wrong first, but someone has to take the first step, Xiaoxiao. If you apologize first, once Brother Fan realizes his mistake, I'll help you teach him a good lesson." Xiao Ruawen seemed to be looking out for her, and indeed she was.

"Why should I apologize first? I'm moving back home this afternoon, and if he doesn't apologize, I'm never coming back!"

Xiao Ruawen helplessly placed a hand on her forehead. She leaned in and whispered in the girl's ear, "But Xiaoxiao, you like Brother Fan."

It was as if Xiao Xiaoxiao's switch was flipped; she shuddered all over.

"If you keep being like this, once Brother Fan's patience runs out and your childhood sweetheart advantage is gone, how will you compete with others?" Xiao Ruawen continued to persuade.

The first person that came to Xia Xiaoxiao's mind was Lin Wanning. Everyone could tell that Lin Wanning liked Xu Qingfan, well, except for that clueless fool!

If the term 'straight man' had existed in 2010, the girl would definitely have cursed, "Xu Qingfan, you're such a dead straight man!"

[What if Xu Qingfan ends up with Wanning and abandons me... How dare he after everything... He dares to abandon me!]

Xia Xiaoxiao became anxious. A future without Xu Qingfan was no future at all.

"He always bullied me, from when we were kids until now... Boohoo..." She started crying again, feeling wronged.

"Because Brother Fan sees all of us as sisters, only you are different," Xiao Ruawen's words echoed in her ear.

"So, he can bully me... Wanning is older and sneaks into bed!" Xia Xiaoxiao clenched her fists in anger.

Xiao Ruawen held back her laughter; she saw clearly that Xia Xiaoxiao was jealous, jealous of Wanning.

"What's that saying, 'siege can be breached, an agreement can be reached!' If Wanning can sneak into bed, so can you!" She held the girl's soft hands.

"But... but..." Xia Xiaoxiao's little secret was exposed, and her face turned red, "We're grown up now, boys and girls should not have physical contact!"

"Ah! But it's Brother Fan, not someone else. Xiaoxiao, you are just jealous of Wanning, right?"

"I... I'm not jealous.... Jealous of who... I'm not, don't make things up!" Xia Xiaoxiao's face reddened.

"Okay, just the two of us here; I surely won't tell anyone. Xiaoxiao, just admit it." Xiao Ruawen held the girl's chin in her hands, looking into her eyes.

Perhaps due to the person in front of her being her best friend or maybe because keeping her thoughts bottled up was tiring, Xia Xiaoxiao avoided her gaze and shyly nodded.

"Hoohoo~ Hehehe... I knew it, ah~ haha." Xiao Ruawen was so excited, as if she had just heard some big gossip, dancing in place.

"Xiao Ruawen!" Xia Xiaoxiao was both ashamed and angry, glaring at the girl in front of her.

"Hehe~ Alright, heaven and earth can witness, only you and I know this!" Xiao Ruawen put away her auntie-smile, raised three fingers, and swore to the sky.

When Xia Xiaoxiao stopped glaring at her, she lowered her hands and continued hugging the girl's arm, "Well, Xiaoxiao, the competition is tough. Wanning surely likes Brother Fan, and I think Yu does too, and so does Yiyi."

"Wanning is cute and obedient, Yiyi is quiet and elegant, and Yu, well, let's not even talk about Yu, Yu is world's number one!" Xiao Ruawen counted on her fingers.

Xia Xiaoxiao was previously stunned. Seeing Xiao Ruawen counting and not even mentioning her in the end, she looked at her quizzically.

"What's with that look, Xiaoxiao!" Xiao Ruawen understood her look and angrily pounced to pinch her cheeks, "Does everyone have to like Brother Fan? Brother Fan is great, but I really only see him as a brother!"

"Really?" Xia Xiaoxiao still doubted.

"Really!" Xiao Ruawen looked very serious.

A moment later.

"You really don't like him?"
