Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 545 - 380. Believe in Xu Qingfan once

Wu Lingyu ultimately didn't join a single club, while Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruawen signed up for the yoga club with the friends they had agreed to meet. Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi, on the other hand, were thrilled to have entered the campus radio station.

After dinner, bidding farewell to classmates who still needed to return to the dormitory shower and do laundry, the five girls walked hand in hand along the campus paths in the evening.

"Wanning, Yiyi, when does your radio station start? Can I come and do a guest singing spot when it begins?" Xiao Ruawen turned her head to look at the two.

"This week we're learning the ropes from the seniors. They haven't said when we'll start officially, but I guess it's either next week or the week after."

"Then let's invite Ruawen to sing then!"

They answered Xiao Ruawen's question, one after another.

"Wow~ I really can come sing, hehe, that's great!"

"When it's Brother Fan's birthday, if we're not on holiday by then, we could also send him birthday wishes on the broadcast!"

The campus radio station had a relatively lax management; as long as it wasn't used for confessions of love or to express inappropriate comments, using it for personal matters to this extent was no problem.

"That's a bargain for Brother Fan!"

"Exactly!"

"Hahaha..."

An hour had passed since school let out, the sunset twilight, the afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto every corner of the campus.

The shadows of the buildings gradually lengthened, the metal railings shimmering in the evening light.

The five girls' bond of close to ten years would have been just as strong even without Xu Qingfan.

Or perhaps it could be said that without Xu Qingfan, their relationship might have been even better.

"What about that senior's matter?" After chatting idly for a while, Xia Xiaoxiao brought the conversation back to Xu Qingfan.

"I trust Brother Qing Fan."

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Wanning was the first to express her view.

It wasn't that no girls had sent Xu Qingfan love letters in elementary and middle school; on the contrary, there were many.

But the five girls hadn't taken it too seriously, because among those girls, there weren't many who could match even half of their attractiveness unless Xu Qingfan was literally starved.

Of course, Xu Qingfan wasn't starved, so his historical credibility was checkable.

That's why Lin Wanning was willing to believe that their Brother Qing Fan would not cheat.

"I also trust Brother," Zhang Yiyi was the second to express her stance.

"Brother Fan definitely wouldn't date that senior!" Wu Lingyu also said with certainty, though her clenched fists betrayed her inner turmoil.

"I definitely want to trust Brother Fan, but that senior is really beautiful, you know, I, as a girl, find her beautiful."

"I find her beautiful" is almost the highest praise a girl can give to another girl's beauty, which shows that Chen Mengmeng's reputation as the school beauty wasn't undeserved.

"However!"

Seeing that Xiao Ruawen had more to say, everyone turned their gaze towards her again.

"We're still prettier, hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Xia Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at her unreliable best friend and joined in the laughter.

A breeze blew, rustling the leaves, and as the five of them walked across the lush lawns and under the interlaced eaves, their laughter added a youthful and vibrant atmosphere to the campus.

"So let's give him a chance this time. We'll stay out of it and see how he chooses," Xia Xiaoxiao decided in the end.

"Brother Qing Fan will definitely be fine!"

"Trust Brother!"

"Brother Fan isn't that kind of person!"

"If he dares to flirt with the senior, he'll have us to answer to!"

"Hahaha..."

...

Having finished processing the documents, Xu Qingfan also took a shower at home before returning to school.

He looked up at the clock tower, which showed that it was nearing seven in the evening. The sun and the moon were both visible on the horizon, gazing at each other from afar.

After dealing with the urgent documents, he chatted with Lin Juan about donating to the school, and before he knew it, it was seven o'clock.

[Good thing I was smart enough to order takeout.]

The campus cafeteria was closed at this hour, and Xu Qingfan mentally patted himself on the back for his cleverness, relieved that he had already established Good Taste Takeout two years earlier.

The primary contributor to the school donation was still Good Taste Takeout. For a business that takes from the people, Xu Qingfan and Zhang Chunxue's idea was to give back to the people, that is, to win the hearts of the people.

Last year's promised ten million had already started being invested, with plans to build a hundred Hope Primary Schools in remote mountainous areas; five of them were already completed and in use.

If ten million wasn't enough, they planned to continue investing more money. Charity, industry, internet, and investment were the four pillars he and Zhang Chunxue had decided upon.

[In the future, Xiao Yu will handle charity, Xiao Xiao and Ruawen internet, Wanning and Yiyi industry, Auntie investment, and I will be in charge of being a kept man!]

Xu Qingfan was happily daydreaming in his mind and soon arrived back in class.

"Fan, did you have dinner? I was worried you hadn't eaten, so I packed a hand-grabbed pancake for you," Xiao Ruawen said, taking out the still hot hand-grabbed pancake from her drawer as Xu Qingfan returned.

"I ordered takeout, but I can still have a hand-grabbed pancake, thanks!" he said with a smile as he took the bag from the girl's hand after sitting down.

"Wow, Brother Fan, you secretly ordered takeout. Come clean, what did you eat?" Xiao Ruawen suddenly felt short-changed; the cafeteria was nowhere near as good as takeout!

"Stop messing around." Xu Qingfan slapped away her reaching hand, "What kind of restaurants do you think we have around here? I had Zhengwu Gate, would you eat that?"

"I'll pass on the stewed meat. Never mind," Xiao Ruawen dismissed with a disdainful wave of her hand.

On regular holidays, her grandparents' favorite activity was to take her for morning tea, but Xiao Ruawen had long since grown tired of eating the same few dishes over and over again.

"Do you want to share half? I can't eat it all," he broke the purple sweet potato flavored hand-grabbed pancake into two portions, looking at the girl.

"Hehe, sure, I've been wanting to sneak a bite!"

As the sky began to darken, students who had finished their baths returned to the classroom one after another.

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, that senior from yesterday wants to add your QQ, why have you set it to reject strangers?"

"Yeah, Brother Fan, you remember that Meng Meng senior from the Magic Club yesterday, right?"

Just as they reached the classroom door and saw Xu Qingfan's silhouette, Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong were already making their presence known with their loud voices.

"What does she want with my QQ?" Xu Qingfan continued writing his homework, his tone indifferent.

"Come on, it's not nothing, there's something going on. Meng Meng senior said that Du Haitao is looking for someone to teach you a lesson, and she wanted to chat with you privately," said Wu Shichong, rushing over excitedly.

"Yeah, yeah, Brother Fan, you should really add her. I sent you her QQ number in private. Meng Meng senior is really looking out for you."

Xu Qingfan thought to himself that the two suck-ups were at it again and, feeling helpless, he simply shook his head and didn't bother engaging with them any further.

Xiao Ruawen saw this and naturally felt quite smug, [It seems Brother Fan is still trustworthy after all!]

"No, come on, Brother Fan, say something!"

"The senior is so pretty, even if it's not a big deal, adding her on QQ shouldn't be an issue, right?"

The two sycophants had already made promises in front of Chen Mengmeng and, seeing that Xu Qingfan was not paying them any attention, they became anxious.

"Can you two not be so noisy? Can't you see Brother Fan is studying? If he doesn't get into Tsinghua or Peking University, you two will be the culprits!" Xiao Ruawen was not the type to have a lot of patience, and seeing the two continue their chatter, she angrily slammed the table and scolded them.

Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong looked at each other and reluctantly shut their mouths.

Wang Xuan felt incredibly satisfied after hearing that; Ruan Wen was like her own outspoken avatar.

[Who cares about adding some senior's QQ? Luckily I already have Brother Fan's QQ!]

Xiao Ruawen glared at them once again before stealthily reaching into Xu Qingfan's drawer and grabbing his phone.

The unlock code was six zeros, and once she entered it, she had immediate access to the home screen.

Xu Qingfan glanced at Xiao Ruawen, not particularly worried since there was nothing on his phone at the moment that he needed to hide.

As for any time in the future when there would be things on his phone not meant for others' eyes, he could use alternative accounts or a spare phone; there were always ways around it.

Unperturbed, Xu Qingfan was not worried in the slightest.

After opening QQ, Xiao Ruawen indeed saw the messages that Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong had privately sent him.

She went into the chat, deleted the QQ number, and then couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

Even though Xu Qingfan's demeanor suggested he would not add her, no one knew if he might go 'hehehe' over the senior in his own time.

[Now that I've deleted the QQ number, Brother Fan won't have the chance to add her!]

Xiao Ruawen took another look at the two avatars; she originally wanted to delete the QQ accounts of the two nuisances Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong as well, but on second thought, she decided against it.

Doing so would be excessively controlling, and she, Ruan Wen, was not that kind of person.

She entered their six-person group chat, typed "I am a big fool," and then quickly deleted it, feeling completely content as she put the phone back where it belonged.

[?]

[?]

[??]

[?]

Soon, the four girls who witnessed this message all responded with the same content.

[???]

Worried that Xu Qingfan might catch on to her, Xiao Ruawen finally sent a question mark from her own phone as well.

"What are you laughing about?" Suddenly hearing muffled giggles, Xu Qingfan glanced at Xiao Ruawen.

"Giggles... What? Was I laughing?" Xiao Ruawen immediately resumed a serious expression.

"Weirdo, get on with your homework," he said dismissively and returned his focus back to his test paper.

"Hehe, okay."

Wang Xuan covertly observed their interaction, filled with envy.

Unfortunately for her, Xu Qingfan hardly ever joked or chatted with her unless it was necessary.

Wang Xuan then turned her attention to Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong, and immediately shook her head in distaste.

Talking to them would be worse than doing her homework!

"Oh right, Wang Xuan, which clubs did you join? I signed up for the Magic Club and the Chemistry Club. How about joining me? The Chemistry Club is really fun, and you can even participate in competitions!"

"And the Table Tennis Club is not bad, either. I can teach you if you don't have the basics. I've won a championship in the district!"

With a simple "I know, I'm going to study," Chen Mengmeng dismissed them and the two eager beavers had no choice but to redirect their enthusiasm to Wang Xuan.

"Can you keep it down? Brother Fan is doing his homework, and I need to study too," Wang Xuan said, and then she stole a glance at Xu Qingfan, hoping he might notice her.

However, Xu Qingfan never once looked up.

"Uh... right, okay," the deflated duo muttered and fell silent.

A thought suddenly struck Xu Qingfan, reminiscent of a joke he had read in his previous life, and he smiled to himself.

Your goddess, my lickspittle.
