Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 581 - 410. Coquetry is useless

What does kissing actually feel like? Xiao Ruawen still had no idea even after the evening self-study session ended.

But when it comes to the taste of devouring food, that she knew crystal clear.

And so, before the evening self-study even ended, her desk was already tidied up, spotlessly clean.

The bell signaling the end of class rang.

"Midnight snack, midnight snack!" Xiao Ruawen, shaking the focused Xu Qingfan who was still answering questions, urged him.

Seeing the messy lines on the test paper caused by her, Xu Qingfan could only put down his pen, resigned.

"Let’s go," he said packing up his things and gesturing with his hand for Xiao Ruawen to pull him up.

"Hehe!" She quickly grasped the task, grabbing his arms and yanking him up as if in a tug-of-war.

Wang Xuan stood up soon after: "I haven’t washed my clothes back at the dorm yet, so I won’t join you for the midnight snack."

"Mmm, see you tomorrow then!" Xiao Ruawen, while pushing Xu Qingfan out of the classroom, turned back and waved at her.

"See you tomorrow." Watching the two of them playfully walk away into the distance, Wang Xuan felt a tinge of bitterness in her heart.

It wasn’t laundry she was heading for; she was just afraid that being with Lin Wanning, Xia Xiaoxiao and the others would only make her seem inadequate.

Of course, Xiao Ruawen would not care about the emotional struggles of a defeated dog.

Xu Qingfan certainly didn’t care about any girl other than those five; after all, he was so pure-hearted!

"Next week is National Day, Brother Fan, where’s the new song you promised me?" Xiao Ruawen wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, the intimate gesture drawing many students to stop and watch.

Even having lived twice, Xu Qingfan still quite enjoyed the looks from his male classmates; there was a mysteriously satisfying feel to it.

Feeling the shock absorption from behind, he slowed his steps, "What’s the hurry? There are still a few lyrics I haven’t figured out how to fill in."

"Wow! Let me see, let me see!" Xiao Ruawen clearly hadn’t expected the usually procrastinating, lazy Brother Fan to be so efficient this time.

"Walk properly!" Xu Qingfan nearly tripped when pushed by her, returning a stern look after steadying his steps.

"Hehe~ What’s the theme of this song?" Xiao Ruawen released her arms and instead wrapped them around his arm.

"A patriotic theme." Xu Qingfan tapped her head.

"What?" Xiao Ruawen was flabbergasted.

"Just wait, the video will be released for National Day, and you’re probably going to become a huge hit," Xu Qingfan said, patting her shoulder.

"What song is it, can’t you tell me, Brother Fan?"

"Nope."

"Brother Qingfan, Dovey~"

"I don’t know."

"I really want to know the new song~"

"Go away!"

No matter how coquettishly Xiao Ruawen acted, Xu Qingfan did not reveal any more details.

When Xia Xiaoxiao joined them, she instantly became proper and reserved, not even daring to cling to Xu Qingfan’s arm but filled her gaze with silent reproach.

Their party of six, along with Xie Rui, was the same group that had their first midnight meal during military training.

The proposal to have a midnight snack was Xie Rui’s idea. Belatedly realizing that the money Xu Qingfan gave her father wasn’t counterfeit, she now knew they shouldn’t mention the past incident.

Although she didn’t speak up about it last time, Xie Rui knew the counterfeit money issue should be left in the past, not to be brought up again.

Still, she genuinely wanted to repay Wu Lingyu and Xu Qingfan, so she thought of treating everyone to a midnight snack tonight.

"I made a good sum of money from my part-time job last week, let me treat everyone to a midnight snack!" she said, now that everyone was gathered.

Wu Lingyu was slightly taken aback, as she was also just learning of this; during self-study, Xie Rui had only mentioned getting everyone together for a midnight snack without saying anything about treating them.

Worried that Xie Rui couldn’t afford to treat everyone and not wanting to hurt her pride, Wu Lingyu hesitated to speak, caught in a dilemma of whether to refuse or remain silent.

Lin Wanning and Yiyi likely harbored similar concerns, but Xu Qingfan was much more generous, jokingly saying, "Alright, today we’ll feast at the expense of you, you big spender!"

"Hehe, eat all you like, not maxing out the meal card would be an insult to me!" Xie Rui clearly still remembered what Xu Qingfan had said on the night of military training.

Seeing Xu Qingfan say so, Xiao Ruawen also joined the joking crowd, "If it’s maxed out, let Brother Fan stay and wash dishes in the cafeteria, right into the inner sanctum!"

"Hahaha!"

"Right!"

Seeing that no one refused her request, Xie Rui finally relaxed her tense nerves.

Indeed, she had earned some money from her part-time job this week. She had trimmed the loose threads on jeans, three cents per piece, and she had trimmed two thousand pieces.

The sixty yuan from the part-time job, plus the sixty yuan from this week’s food card subsidy, surely counted as big earnings.

However, when they got to the cafeteria to order, Xu Qingfan and the five girls all just ordered one main dish and one sweet soup each, and the total consumption for the six of them was less than fifteen yuan.

"Auntie, I’ll have seven fried chicken legs, please pack them separately in bags." At five yuan a piece, Xie Rui ordered seven in one go.

After ordering some more snacks like fries and chicken nuggets, they had to make two trips to carry all the food.

"During the military training, it was Brother Fan who treated us to late-night snacks. This time, it’s my turn to treat!" Although the money on her meal card was gone in an instant, Xie Rui felt an unprecedented satisfaction.

"Thank you, Siri!"

"Next time it’s still Brother Fan’s treat!"

"And the time after that, too!"

"And the time after that as well!"

"And even more after that..."

"Hahahaha!"

The five girls cooperated very well in the fun, making the atmosphere of the late-night snack naturally enjoyable, while Xu Qingfan was the one constantly being egged on.

Xie Rui sneakily glanced at him, thinking: No wonder they all like Brother Fan so much.

...

After finishing the late-night snack, they said goodbye to Xie Rui and left.

The weather tonight was lovely; because the campus was far from the city, the sky above was a clear blue.

Xiao Ruawen, touching her soft belly, suggested digesting the food, "It’s the third week since the term started, and we haven’t been to Love Avenue yet. Shall we go for a stroll someday?"

[It’s not like it’s going to be a stroll with just Brother Qing Fan/Brother/Brother Fan/that stinking dog alone. What’s so good about that?] All four girls thought to themselves simultaneously.

Xu Qingfan was equally uninterested in entertaining her, still worried about how to handle his relationship with everyone. There Xiao Ruawen was, talking about such things.

[What nonsense is this Love Avenue, can’t we dedicate our limited time to the infinite service of the people?]

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Xiao Ruawen felt a bit embarrassed for a moment.

"Why aren’t you guys talking?"

"Because the next one up is the water dragon," Xu Qingfan said, patting her shoulder.

"Water your head, stop talking such weird stuff!" Xiao Ruawen clenched her fist and punched him. freewebnøvel.com

Lin Wanning squeezed between the two, suddenly asking, "Shouldn’t we go out during the seven-day National Day holiday, Brother Qing Fan?"

This topic was clearly far more appealing than Xiao Ruawen’s nonsense, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

"Going out? Where to?"

"The scenic spots are all full of people, right?" Xia Xiaoxiao frowned.

"I have to work during National Day, so it looks like I can’t go out and have fun."

Before Wu Lingyu and Zhang Yiyi could speak up, Xu Qingfan’s words had already dampened everyone’s spirits.

"Ah~"

Seeing everyone looking so downhearted, he smiled and then added, "We can’t go far, but we could go back to our village, and bring Little White along!"

"Wow!"

"Yay!"

The five girls were instantly revitalized.
