Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 694 - 478. Brother Fan’s little mouth doesn’t lie, meow

It was eleven o'clock at night.

As Xu Qingfan's mouse clicked on the nearly destroyed crystal for the last time, the screen displaying their victory appeared on all five players' monitors.

"Haha, in the end, it's up to me to sneak in and win the game, huh? Was that the last one?" Xu Qingfan put down the mouse and leaned back comfortably.

"Burp~ Yeah, yeah, my mom is calling me to bed again, Brother Qingfan goodnight!" Lin Wanning finished the still-warm milk on her desk with a satisfied belch.

"Me too, me too, haha, I fought to the death to stop their recalls, Brother Fan, did you see that!" Xiao Ruawen said with exuberant spirits, checking her game stats immediately on the gaming platform.

"Goodnight, everyone!"

"Goodnight!"

After everyone gradually left the group chat, Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao exchanged glances.

Both quickly looked away, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a bit awkward.

"I kind of want to eat some of Yu's dumplings." The dog of a man casually started a conversation.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it a little. Why did it sound so ambiguous?

Wu Lingyu said she was going to make dumplings around nine, so Xu Qingfan, originally a substitute, took her place.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm going to bed too." Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at the lubricant on the bed and got up to leave.

"Hey." Xu Qingfan called out to her.

"What?" Xia Xiaoxiao, who was just about to get up, sat back down.

"That... you take it and throw it away, I don't need it alone," he said, pointing in the direction of the bed.

Xia Xiaoxiao: ???

[What does he mean he doesn't need it alone, is he hinting at something?]

Having certain images come to mind, Xia Xiaoxiao's ears turned a bit red again.

[Dream on, I'm not helping you!]

"You keep it yourself then; I don't need it either!" She stood up, glared at the lousy dog, and left without looking back.

Soon after, the sound of the door closing with a "bang" followed.

Xu Qingfan blinked. He wasn't hinting at anything, really; he was just worried that Lin Jing might overthink if she noticed the lube was missing.

"I should have returned it earlier; now I don't even use it..."

He didn't finish his sentence when the door opened again.

"I'm here to get my phone!" Xia Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed her phone from the table and this time, she really did leave.

"Goodnight, I'm going home to sleep!" She stressed again before closing the door.

The dog of a man, who had his mouth slightly open, closed it and let out a long breath.

"Whew~ That startled me!"

He went to lock the door and then sat back down in his computer chair, propping his legs up on the table while playing with his phone.

"Brother Qingfan, mom said we're gathering at your place the day after tomorrow morning, teehee!"

"Dumpling picture, dumpling picture." This was sent by Yu.

"Screenshot, screenshot, Brother Fan, take a look, I'm the MVP, it's me!" This was sent by Xiao Ruawen.

"The dumplings smell so good, Yu, come feed me quickly!" This was also sent by Xiao Ruawen.

"That's great, I love these gatherings the most!" This was still Xiao Ruawen.

"Why is no one talking?" This was yet another message from Xiao Ruawen.

Xu Qingfan smiled knowingly and opened a private chat with Wu Lingyu.

"Xiao Xiao is going to sleep at her place today, Brother Fan didn't go back on his word, over!" The dog of a man sent the message.

"Yeah, got it." After sending that and feeling it was a bit too cold, Wu Lingyu added an emoji of "kitty takes notes in a little book."

While chatting with Wu Lingyu on his phone, the dog of a man opened another private chat, this time with Xiao Ruawen, on his computer.

Xiao Ruawen, basking in the glory of her four-kill screenshot, instinctively clicked when she heard the QQ notification and then saw what Xu Qingfan had sent.

[Xia Xiaoxiao, has she ever mentioned anything about lubricant to you?]

Xiao Ruawen: ???

[What lubricant, like bicycle lubricant?] She tilted her head as she typed her reply.

One couldn't really blame Xiao Ruawen for being ignorant. At her age, knowing about contraceptives and contraceptive medication was already a sign of watching too much TV, let alone knowing about lubricants—that was truly beyond her knowledge.

Xu Qingfan didn't explain the difference between this lubricant and that lubricant. He opened his browser, searched for the same product using keywords, and sent Xiao Ruawen a screenshot along with the instructions.

Soon, Xu Qingfan's screen was filled with question marks.

[??????????????????????]

[No, why are you guys buying stuff like this?]

[Why would you buy something like this!!]

[Speak!!!]

Xiao Ruawen turned into a Zaun keyboard warrior, typing furiously and loudly on the keyboard.

However.

At this moment, the dog of a man was leisurely chatting with Yu.

[Brother Fan, is it okay if mom and I come over early on Sunday to help Auntie with lunch preparations?]

[How could we let Auntie help out? Although we will all be one family in the future, for now, she's still a guest, right?] Xu Qingfan immediately replied.

As soon as Wu Lingyu saw the phrase "we will all be one family", her heart burst with joy.

[I'm not listening, I'm not listening, mom and I want to come over in the morning!]

[Not going to listen, huh?] The dog of a man even added a "ferocious dog baring teeth" emoji.

The typing indicator remained active above the chat box with Wu Lingyu, for thirty seconds, one minute.

Just as Xu Qingfan grew curious about what kind of an essay Yu was writing, the message was finally sent.

[I want to see Brother Fan sooner.]

Without even a punctuation mark, the thoughts of a sixteen-year-old girl, how could they stay hidden?

It wasn't like the sun which stung the skin and kept people at bay, but rather like an unexpected encounter in life, always poking you when you least expect it.

Wu Lingyu's cheeks were flushed red, her hands holding the phone were slightly trembling, and her eyes did not blink as she stared intently at the screen, afraid she might not get Brother Fan's reply at the very first moment.

Suddenly, Xu Qingfan felt an indescribable dryness in his mouth. He unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and guzzled it down.

Whenever the girl displayed her affection without any reserve, the sense of guilt in the man's heart deepened.

I also want to see...

He knew very well what to reply to make the girl's heart bloom with joy, but the more he knew, the harder it was for him to continue editing his message.

Xu Qingfan indeed wanted to see Yu sooner, but in all that, was it more about wanting to see Yu, or was it more about being used to sweet-talking Yu to keep her happy?

He closed his eyes and began to envisage Wu Lingyu's image in his mind.

After a moment, he replied: [I also want to see Yu sooner!]

Xu Qingfan confirmed, in that moment, he truly wanted to see Yu sooner, without any other considerations mixed in.

Once she received Brother Fan's reply, Wu Lingyu hugged her knees, her smile blooming like a flower, and the brightness in her eyes seemed even shinier than the phone screen.

[Okay!]

After sending that last character, Wu Lingyu put down her phone and rolled back and forth on the bed, hugging her comforter.

She lay back down on the bed, raised her phone with both hands, and Xu Qingfan's latest message appeared on the screen. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

[I want to see Yu sooner, just as much as Yu wants to see me sooner.]
