Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 444 - 322. Are you squatting here to take a dump?
After Zhang Chunxue’s figure disappeared, Xu Qingfan retracted his gaze and lay back on the swing, lost in thought.
[Don’t you think the focus of all these girls’ lives is on you now?]

His mind echoed with Aunt Zhang’s last words.
Honestly, did Xu Qingfan really not notice this himself?
That was certainly impossible.
Leaving others aside, anyone with clear sight could see Lin Wanning’s heart was set on him. There was no way someone as smart as Xu Qingfan could miss or ignore that.
He had just been deliberately ignoring these things all along or intentionally not letting himself think about them.
When they were children, it was because the five girls were still young and needed his care on their growth paths.
But unknowingly, they had all entered their third year of junior high. They were no longer the little girls who needed nurturing to grow up.
If Xu Qingfan continued to deceive himself, saying they needed his care, that would be too hypocritical. After all, if he kept looking after them like this, the girls might end up being cared for into his bed someday.
Didn’t you see that Lin Wanning already showed signs of this?
But to ask Xu Qingfan to just leave things as they were now, not to mention his reluctance, even the five girls wouldn’t agree.
Growing up together since childhood, the six of them had formed an inseparable bond, and life would feel uncomfortable without any one of them.
Don’t look at how fiercely he argued with Xia Xiaoxiao in the morning. In reality, if either side decided to back down first, they could reconcile within seconds.
[But this time, don’t think I’m going to apologize. I’ll never spoil you again, Xia Xiaoxiao!]
Xu Qingfan quickly set aside thoughts of Xia Xiaoxiao and continued to worry about the problem Aunt Zhang had just mentioned.
To change the current life circle of the girls, the best way was undoubtedly to enter a new environment and make new friends.
In fact, Xu Qingfan should also gradually fade out of the girls’ life focus. After all, the six of them would eventually marry and couldn’t live together like this forever.
If they continued cohabiting, the girls would only become more and more dependent on him, unable to leave him.
With his grown-up thinking, Xu Qingfan could easily foresee these issues.
But the more he acknowledged this, the less he wanted to think about it.
In his heart, Xu Qingfan didn’t want the girls to make friends with other boys. If they were to date those boys in the future, that would feel worse than being killed for him.
Xu Qingfan was unwilling to admit that he had possessiveness over the girls. He just wanted to believe he had a father’s mindset, getting upset at the thought of his treasured daughters being taken by someone else.
Xu Qingfan still wanted to be selfish and maintain this increasingly unhealthy relationship.
He told himself in his heart: [The high school entrance exam is around the corner. It’s not good to change the social circle now; let’s think about it after high school...]
At some point, everything would naturally straighten out, using the strategy of procrastination to solve everything.
When it came down to it, Xu Qingfan really enjoyed this cohabitation life. After all, in whose youth could you grow up with five equally beautiful but distinctly different childhood sweethearts?
Coincidentally, Xia Xiaoxiao walked out of the house holding a trash bag, apparently intending to take out the trash.
Each of the five girls had a distinct walking sound. Having lived together for so long, Xu Qingfan could discern these subtle differences, so he could guess the person’s identity without looking.
He stopped his wild thoughts, glanced sideways at the approaching pair of legs, and confirmed it was indeed Xia Xiaoxiao.
Despite Zhang Chunxue saying Xia Xiaoxiao wasn’t at fault, Xu Qingfan didn’t plan to forgive her. This time he was determined to straighten out Xia Xiaoxiao’s tsundere personality!
He kept his head down in silence the whole time, pretending not to see her come out.
Upon seeing Xu Qingfan sitting in the yard, Xia Xiaoxiao’s steps hesitated, and her heart tightened.
But realizing the other person seemed, perhaps, undoubtedly, conclusively treated her like air, Xia Xiaoxiao’s anger flared up, and she clenched her fists, feeling an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.
With a pout of grievance, she quickened her steps, her demeanor and actions no different from a primary school kid throwing a tantrum.
Only after walking a long distance did her blank mind start working again.
"Very impressive, huh? Ignore me, I’ll ignore you too!"
Even when angry, Xia Xiaoxiao was still stunning. If her current appearance were taken and posted online, the comments would undoubtedly be filled with "Ms. Xia is right!"
She lifted her leg to kick a pesky stone in front of her, but the stone didn’t move. She ended up hopping on one foot, crying out in pain.
"Ah ooo ooo ooo!"
Looking at her bruised toe, Xia Xiaoxiao instantly felt like crying.
"Everyone bullies me, boo hoo..." She held back her tears, not letting them spill out, and didn’t attempt to kick the stone again. She limped to the trash disposal spot.
Upon hearing Xia Xiaoxiao’s cry, Xu Qingfan thought she was in danger and immediately stood up to investigate. But seeing she was alone, his initial concern quickly vanished.
After she paused for a few seconds and then limped along, Xu Qingfan pieced together the whole scene in his mind. He rolled his eyes speechlessly but also thought that Xia Xiaoxiao was indeed quite funny.
"What a drama queen," he muttered, shaking his head, and sat back down.
