Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 639 - 444. Well prepared!_2

"This one's for you, Ruan Wen." He handed the peeled crab to Xiao Ruawen.

"Hey~ Thanks, Brother Fan!" Xiao Ruawen happily accepted it, not forgetting to clip a piece of fish for Xu Qingfan.

"I can peel it myself, just eat your food!" Xia Xiaoxiao said displeased when she saw Xu Qingfan was about to peel another crab.

Xu Qingfan looked at Zhang Yiyi, who shook her head knowingly; with Xia Xiaoxiao having said that, Yiyi, who loved her brother the most, naturally couldn't be outdone!

"Brother, I'll peel it for you!" Zhang Yiyi snatched the hairy crab Xu Qingfan was holding and smiled coyly.

"This one's for Brother Qing Fan to eat!" Lin Wanning had just one spoonful of crab roe left and fed it directly into Xu Qingfan's mouth.

Xia Xiaoxiao's chopsticks in her hand almost slipped.

...

After dinner, the five of them cleaned up just like they did in middle school.

With Little White not around, Xu Qingfan, who didn't need to feed the dog, could sit down and watch TV for a while.

"Brother Qing Fan, we've washed the dishes, are we going home now?" Brother Qing Fan's house was, after all, also Wanning's home, so it didn't sound awkward for Lin Wanning to call it out. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"It was actually the dishwasher that cleaned the dishes, but we can go now, take a walk after dinner," Xu Qingfan turned off the TV.

"Live to nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!" Lin Wanning chirped gleefully.

"It's actually ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!" Xiao Ruawen quickly came out of the kitchen, hugging Lin Wanning's shoulders from behind.

Xu Qingfan saw everyone was ready and stood up from the sofa, saying, "Then let's head out, make sure to check the doors and windows, water, electricity, and the gas."

"The gas is already turned off!" Wu Lingyu checked and confirmed.

"All the windows are locked tight!" Xiao Ruawen declared confidently.

Xu Qingfan nodded in satisfaction and was about to go and turn off the main switch when Zhang Yiyi grabbed his hand, reminding him, "Brother, you can't turn off the water and electricity; the dishwasher is still running!"

"Alright then, I'll come and turn it off tomorrow," Xu Qingfan reluctantly withdrew his hand upon hearing this.

After locking the door, the six of them instinctively looked back at the yard one last time before turning and leaving.

An old house, carrying the dreams of their youth.

...

"Yeah~ Don't worry about Brother Qing Fan's home; mom said it's fine!"

"Alright, alright~ I know, mm-hm, bye dad, see you tomorrow, 'Wood Horse'!"

Wanningyi, Yiyi, and Ruan Wen called their homes while on the road, with only Lin Wanning's call lasting the longest.

"Hehe~ Alrighty!"

"I can stay at Brother Qing Fan's house tonight~"

Seeing everyone looking at her, she said cheerfully after hanging up the phone.

Xu Qingfan, even through the phone, could practically hear Uncle Lin's heart breaking. He could only silently sympathize with Uncle Lin for three seconds in his mind—who asked him to have a 'yellow-haired' daughter!

"Let's go, we'll talk to my parents when we get back, save on the phone bill," Xu Qingfan took Lin Wanning's wrist, casually grabbing Xiao Ruawen, who was closest to him.

"Charge~!" Lin Wanning was even more excited than he was; she dashed out the next second, pulling the two in front.

Xia Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yiyi, left behind, exchanged glances. Yiyi shrugged his shoulders, giving her a helpless smile.

Xia Xiaoxiao felt as if she was stuck with an old complaint in her throat; she always felt that she was ganked by Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi.

[Humph~ Once at my home, it's my turf!]

Despite feeling annoyed, she still took Yiyi's hand and chased after the others.

After all, besides being love rivals, they were also very good friends to each other!

...

"Huh?"

"Why is the living room light on?"

After unlocking the door, Xu Qingfan peeked in and immediately saw Yao Jiping and Lin Jing sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Uh~ Mom, Auntie, why didn't you go out to find a show?"

Xu Qingfan made room, and five heads filed in view of Yao Jiping's gaze one after another.

"Wow~ Everyone's here, come in and have a seat. Have you eaten yet? Auntie will get you some treats!" Yao Jiping completely ignored Xu Qingfan's presence, getting up excitedly and walking over.

Lin Jing looked at Xu Qingfan with a strange expression and also got up, following behind.

"Hello Auntie!"

"Hello, Auntie Lin!"

Zhang Yiyi and Lin Wanning, one on each arm, hugged Yao Jiping, and Xiao Ruawen blinked before warmly wrapping her arm around Lin Jing's.

"They'll be staying over tonight," Xu Qingfan said, to which Yao Jiping either didn't hear or didn't have time to respond.

"Auntie, we want to sleep here tonight."

"Auntie, is that okay?"

When Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi asked, Yao Jiping responded instantly, "Of course, that's okay! There are three empty rooms on the second floor. I'll get you new comforters in a moment, and from now on, they'll be your exclusive rooms!"

"Hehe~ Thank you, auntie!"

"Thank you, auntie!"

"Auntie, you're the best!"

Xu Qingfan rolled his eyes so hard they nearly reached the sky, thinking it turned out his mom really was reserving the remaining three rooms for them.

Could Yao Jiping emerge as the only winner when Xu Qingfan marries five wives?

"Mom, where's dad?"

"Mom!"

"Don't shout, who knows where he's gone fishing!" Yao Jiping scolded him with a glance, "You know where the new comforters are, don't you? You're not busy, so go and help the ladies with three sets of bedding!"

Xu Qingfan:...

Thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea for Yao Jiping to bond with them and considering she might have to save the day when things blow up in the future, Xu Qingfan didn't object.

"Auntie, your skin is so nice, no wonder Fan is so fair!"

"Auntie, your hands... You can tell you do housework often, you've worked hard!"

Watching his mom get buttered up by their excessive flattery, Xu Qingfan shook his head in amusement and silently headed upstairs.

[If mom ever dares to ask me why I'm such a flirt, I'll have the nerve to say it was her choice, my idol!]

...

Fixing bedding was particularly frustrating, but telling himself that he would probably (strike that)… definitely be sharing these comforters in the future lit up Xu Qingfan's enthusiasm.

"Ruan Wen will probably like this yellow set..."

"This white set should be Yiyi's pick."

"Wanning probably won't be picky and will choose the room opposite mine."

Xu Qingfan grasped their preferences exactly and after placing the comforters in the respective rooms, he quickly set them up.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, and Xiao Ruawen excitedly ran upstairs to pick out their exclusive rooms.

"I like this Charizard, can I choose this room, Brother Qing Fan?" Sure enough, Lin Wanning went straight into the room facing Xu Qingfan's bedroom, pointed at the bed without much inspection, and spoke.

"If Wanning wants this room, Yiyi and I will check out the next one!" Xiao Ruawen didn't compete with her, taking Yiyi to leave.

"This is going to be Wanning's room from now on~" Lin Wanning took off her shoes, jumped onto the bed and happily rolled around a few times.

"I knew you liked Charmander, so I picked it out especially for you," Xu Qingfan said with a smile.

"Hehe~ Thank you, Brother Qing Fan!" Lin Wanning showed off her adorable fanged smile.

Xu Qingfan pulled her up from the bed and they left together, with Xiao Ruawen and Zhang Yiyi unsurprisingly picking the rooms he had in mind.

The second floor originally had an area of over 170 square meters split into seven rooms. Aside from Xu Aiguo and Yao Jiping's master bedroom on the far east end, the other six rooms were paired side by side, ensuring physical privacy.

The chief architect of the house—Ms. Yao Jiping!

Xu Qingfan didn't believe for a second that his mom had no ulterior motives.

Even though Yao Jiping always said she wanted a daughter, even though she treated Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao better than she treated him.

But just for this aspect alone, Xu Qingfan could sincerely exclaim, "Love you, mom!"

Compared to the little bits of maternal love others received, he was far happier with Yao Jiping's unique brand of love!

Currently, Xiao Yu and Yiyi were staying in opposite rooms, the scoundrel and Lin Wanning were across from each other, and Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruawen were opposite rooms.

[Wanning and Yiyi haven't come to play with me for a long time, they wouldn't happen to tonight...]

[If Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yu were also to come...]

Standing at his own room's doorway, the scoundrel took a deep breath of cool air.

So whether anything would happen tonight, Xu Qingfan was already looking forward to it.

The five girls came out of the rooms one after another.

"What are you doing just standing there?" Xia Xiaoxiao pushed him dissatisfied.

"Brother Fan, what are we playing now?"

"Ha… how about Killers of the Three Kingdoms?"

"No way!" The five of them refused in unison.
