Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 592 - 416. Yu’s Heartbreak_2

"Pfft!"

"Bang bang!"

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Ruawen slapped the wall, laughing so hard she held her stomach, while Xia Xiaoxiao covered her head with her hand, not wanting to watch.

Wu Lingyu, not knowing why, felt a lot better. She stroked Xu Qingfan's head and spoke in a gentle tone, "Xiao Fan, how about we watch Superman tomorrow?"

"You just spoil him!" Xia Xiaoxiao said sourly.

"Alright, Sister Yu, let's go set off the fireworks!" Xu Qingfan grabbed the girl's hand and they ran off together.

"Haha goose... Hey, why are you guys running off?"

Xiao Ruawen, still slapping the wall, paused mid-laugh and yelled towards their retreating backs.

"Hmph~"

Xia Xiaoxiao turned her head away, feeling upset. She wanted Xu Qingfan to act coquettishly with her like he just did with the other girl.

[All day long he's either bullying me or being grumpy!]

Xu Qingfan had no idea what they thought; he simply felt that Wu Lingyu seemed off tonight, so he wanted to cheer her up.

Indeed, Wu Lingyu's face brightened up again because of their earlier interaction, momentarily pushing aside what she had seen on the rooftop.

Village nightlife was scarce; in earlier years people would all be asleep by eight or nine o'clock. Now that they had internet, it had improved slightly, but most still wouldn't stay up past ten o'clock at night.

At 9:10 PM, Xu Qingfan brought all the fireworks he had bought up to the rooftop.

As soon as the hundreds of spinning fireworks laid out on the ground were ignited, it was like stirring a nest of fireflies; the dark night gained eyes, with countless fireflies dancing about.

To know who your favorite person is, look at the first person you see when the fireworks burst.

Yao Shulun and Lai Man Yao both looked at Yao Zixin, Yao Jianjun and Song Junzhu exchanged loving glances.

Wu Lingyu looked at Xu Qingfan, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Qingfan, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi looked at Xu Qingfan, and Xiao Ruawen also looked at Xu Qingfan.

Meanwhile, Xu Qingfan, at that moment, looked up at the sky, thinking of Aunt Zhang who might still be busy.

[It's a pity Aunt can't see these beautiful fireworks.]

He picked up a lighter and ignited the rest of the fireworks. The sky was soon filled with the brilliance of the fireworks.

Word spread among the villagers; people either stepped out of their houses or came to the rooftop to watch this sudden fireworks display.

Xu Qingfan stepped forward and took Zhang Yiyi's hand, whispering in her ear, "Happy Birthday."

"Yes!" Zhang Yiyi said with a smile, resting her head on his shoulder.

Zhang Yiyi's birthday actually ended two days ago, but at that time Xu Qingfan was busy and had only managed to have a simple meal with her.

With tonight's fireworks as an apology, Zhang Yiyi forgave him instantly because she had never really been mad at all!

Lin Wanning took Zhang Yiyi's other hand, and the three of them swayed under the moonlight.

Wu Lingyu, with mixed feelings, eventually ran over and took Xu Qingfan's hand.

Soon, Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruawen joined them as well.

The hands of the six people were like oars, guiding the Moon Boat towards the distant horizon.

Seeing this scene, Yao Shulun, Lai Man Yao, Yao Jianjun, and Song Junzhu exchanged glances. They didn't understand the affairs of young people but were greatly impressed!

Yao Zixin also wanted to join, but his mother quickly pulled him back.

Without disturbing them, the four adults quietly left the balcony with their little cousin.

The fireworks lasted only ten minutes. After the last brilliant display, the sky returned to darkness.

With the excitement over, many people returned to their homes.

Xu Qingfan watched their expressions closely, [Wanning's happy, Yiyi's sweet, Ruan Wen's excited, Xiao Xiao's just okay, and Yu... Why does Yu still seem a bit upset?]

"Let's clean up the rooftop and head back."

"Okay!"

Six figures busied themselves on the rooftop, quickly cleaning up the scattered fireworks debris.

"Brother Qing Fan, where do we put this trash?" Lin Wanning asked, holding two boxes of used fireworks casings.

"Just leave it in the yard for now; I'll throw it away after I wake up tomorrow," Xu Qingfan thought for a moment before replying.

"Ah? Can't we sell these? Why throw them away?" Xiao Ruawen asked, holding five boxes of fireworks, stacked higher than her head.

Xu Qingfan, seeing her funny appearance, couldn't help but laugh, "You don't understand, do you? The recycling station doesn't accept these casings because they contain yellow clay which is worthless, and also for fear that there might be some unburnt gunpowder inside, which could explode when recycled."

"Oh~ Brother Fan, you know so much." After Xu Qingfan took a paper casing from her, Xiao Ruawen's head finally emerged.

"Let's go, my grandfather and the others are going to sleep. We've bathed, so let's rest early too, we need to wake up early to watch the sunrise tomorrow."

"Yeah!"

"Watch the sunrise!"

...

After taking turns bathing, the six of them each returned to their own rooms to sleep.

It wasn't even ten o'clock at night, and besides the streetlights still on, there were hardly any other lights left on in the houses.

Going to bed two hours earlier than usual, all six of them were a bit excited.

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi were thinking about how they had sneakily kissed Xu Qingfan during the game of hide and seek tonight.

Xia Xiaoxiao was imagining Xu Qingfan acting coquettishly towards her.

Xiao Ruawen sometimes thought of Xu Qingfan's face, and at other times, she shook her head as Xia Xiaoxiao's figure appeared.

Wu Lingyu bit her lower lip and zoned out, the scene she saw on the rooftop replayed in her mind like a slideshow.

Although Yu always felt very inferior and deep down believed she didn't deserve Xu Qingfan,

as a girl, whenever she watched movies or TV shows, she couldn't help but fantasize about becoming Cinderella and marrying Xu Qingfan, who transformed into a prince.

But now, those dreams had dissipated like smoke into rain, never to return...

Wu Lingyu's fingernails turned white from clutching the blanket too tightly, and a faint bite mark was left on her lips.

[Brother Fan is in love... Brother Fan has a girlfriend... Brother Fan belongs to someone else now... Brother Fan... Brother Fan... but I like Brother Fan so much too...]

As her thoughts swirled, a crystal-clear tear uncontrollably slid down from the corner of her eye.

Wu Lingyu felt a blockage in her nose and could not understand why she was crying, after all, Xu Qingfan falling in love really had nothing to do with her.

Perhaps because Xu Qingfan hadn't told her?

But then,

[Brother Fan can fall in love of course, Brother Fan originally had no obligation to tell me.]

That was her rationalization, but Wu Lingyu still felt aggrieved in her heart.

She thought, given how close they all were, at least he should have told her if he was dating someone...

"Wuwu~ Brother Fan doesn't need me anymore... wuwuwu..."

Tears soaked her pillow as numerous memories surfaced in her mind.

There were the times Xu Qingfan had comforted her throughout their childhood, that day at home when she had stealthily kissed Brother Fan, the incident outside the restroom door, the two secrets shared only with Brother Fan, and that night under the blanket.

"Wuwu... wuwuwu..."

Recalling all these, Wu Lingyu could not help crying even more bitterly.

Considering everything that had happened between her and Brother Fan, why hadn't he told her about his relationship?

Wu Lingyu's heartbreak deepened as her thoughts raced; she used to be thrilled about having little secrets just between her and Brother Fan, but apparently, she wasn't the only one with secrets with him...

Wu Lingyu felt lost because Xu Qingfan was the whole direction of her life; if Brother Fan was in love and didn't want her, where was she supposed to go from here?

Wu Lingyu felt like she had been abandoned by Xu Qingfan, even though it hadn't actually happened, her heart was convinced that it had.

[Yu has no home now…]

Once this thought took root, she felt as though she was being painfully stripped and flayed, clenching her teeth tightly.

She lasted less than a minute before she was drenched in sweat, in agony so intense that she felt she couldn't go on living.

[Brother Fan can't not want me!]

[I must find Brother Fan and clarify everything!]

Wu Lingyu was so distressed that if she did not confront Xu Qingfan for clarity, she feared she might literally lose her mind.

Once she decided, Wu Lingyu got up from her bed, put on her shoes in the moonlight, and left her room.

Next door was Xu Qingfan's room, using her previous experience, she managed everything from opening the door and closing it to getting under the blanket in one smooth motion.

As she wrapped her arms around Xu Qingfan from behind, the agonizing feeling temporarily vanished.

But before she could even catch her breath for long, she suddenly heard Xu Qingfan speak.

"Yiyi, stop it."

Wu Lingyu was stunned, her heart shattered.
