Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 564 - 397. Also My Childhood Sweetheart_2

After the last class, Xiao Ruawen slung her guitar over her shoulder. "Brother Fan, I'm off. Remember to listen to the campus radio!"

"Got it. I'll bring you some oranges when I come back." Xu Qingfan stretched and looked at her.

"Hmm~ If you're so eager to get me oranges, I might just tell my dad!" the girl scolded playfully, hands on her hips.

This Xu Qingfan was genuinely scared, "I don't know what you're talking about. If you don't want oranges, have a banana instead."

Outside the window, two sparrows chirped on a branch, as if mirroring their chatter.

"You'd better not know, Brother Chou Fan. Heehee, I'm off!" Xiao Ruawen couldn't resist ruffling his hair before leaving, her clear laughter seemed to wrap around him.

As she disappeared from sight, Xu Qingfan returned his gaze to the window.

The two sparrows earlier there had also gone, leaving him alone in the classroom.

No one usually stayed in the class after school, so earlier it had just been him and Xiao Ruawen chatting.

"Hey!"

As he zoned out, a familiar voice rang in his ear, snapping him back to reality.

Xu Qingfan turned around, and sure enough, it was Xia Xiaoxiao standing behind him.

Backlit, the girl's short-sleeved uniform and ponytail from his memory gave him a sense of disorientation between reality and illusion.

"Aren't you leaving?" Xia Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose.

There was no such thing as a previous life, Xu Qingfan shook his head and smiled at her, "Let's go."

But when he got up, Xia Xiaoxiao had no intention of leaving. Instead, she sat down in his seat.

"So messy." She complained while helping the boy organize his desk and drawer, her eyes never leaving the mess.

But Xu Qingfan seemed to turn to stone, staring at her without blinking.

This is not some old friend's semblance, this is the genuine old friend!

"Hey!"

Another "hey" pulled him back to reality, Xu Qingfan grumbled at Xia Xiaoxiao, "Hey what, don't I have a name?"

"Hmph~ I called you so many times but you didn't respond!" The girl blushed, likely because of his staring.

Xu Qingfan couldn't explain his zoning out, so he changed the topic, "Uh... just thinking about something. Why are you here?"

"Can't I be here?" Xia Xiaoxiao frowned disapprovingly at him.

Alright, nervousness had really nuked his emotional intelligence.

"No, no, I mean, why did you come just now? It's the third week of school, counting the military training." As she got up, Xu Qingfan happily nudged her towards leaving.

Hearing this explanation pleased Xia Xiaoxiao, but she pretended to be tough, "It's not like I wanted to come. Auntie told me to check on you, otherwise, I wouldn't bother!"

The real story was that she and Yao Jinping volunteered to check if Xu Qingfan was studying properly.

"It's been a week, and my mom hasn't come to find me. Why wouldn't she just ask me directly?" Xu Qingfan said, feeling a bit helpless.

Seeing that Xu Qingfan believed her, Xia Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief, "Because you're a liar, you fooled me to get my allowance when we were kids!"

"How was that fooling? I looked out for you when we were little. Taking a bit of protection money isn't too much, is it?" Back to their usual banter, he put an arm around her shoulder.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't bother to push it off, she quite enjoyed this state, "You wish! It was me looking out for you. Without me watching you do homework, you wouldn't even get into middle school!"

"How dare you mention it? You wouldn't let me copy, not even from Yu!" He paused after saying it, feeling something odd about it.

"Absolutely not! Copying is forbidden!" Fortunately, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't notice anything wrong and rebutted calmly.

"Fine, fine, you took care of me. Without you, I'd be a poor kid who couldn't get into middle school. Thank you!" If this was for the girl from his past life, it wouldn't be wrong.

"Just so you know!" Xia Xiaoxiao rarely showed her tiger teeth and made a funny face at him.

"Your tongue coating is white. You're getting a heat stroke, better get some herbal tea."

"Uh? Really?" Xia Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, breathing out nervously, relieved to not smell anything.

"Maybe I was wrong. Even if not, drink some, it's good for your body." He just didn't want to continue their previous topic, thus making this up.

The girl who ate in the school cafeteria every day and avoided spicy snacks and instant noodles was unlikely to get a heat stroke.

"Okay." Xia Xiaoxiao only thought Xu Qingfan was showing concern, so she agreed gladly.

The high school section still had a Huang Zhenlong direct store, where students loved the herbal tea and tea eggs.

Usually, they drank herbal tea for sore throats and bought tea eggs when hungry but with two more classes left before dismissal.

In the evening, students were either at the cafeteria, on the playground, or in the dorms showering, making the store empty when they arrived.

Xu Qingfan paid for two cups of herbal tea, and both stood by the store entrance enjoying themselves.

"Hey? Isn't that Qingfan? What, got a heat stroke?" Song Dongsheng, having finished a meeting and feeling slightly hungry, decided to grab a tea egg and coincidentally ran into Xu Qingfan.

"Old…Mr. Song, such a coincidence!" He narrowly avoided calling him Old Deng.

"Hello, Mr. Song." Xia Xiaoxiao greeted as well.

"So, how's your work at the student council? Not interrupting your young hearts, I hope?" Song Dongsheng walked closer with a mischievous grin.

Xu Qingfan wanted to say yes, but he still smiled politely, "Not at all. This is Xia Xiaoxiao from Class One, my childhood sweetheart, second in the district during the entrance exam."

Song Dongsheng was a bit surprised; he knew the top three from the district were at Licheng Middle School but didn't know Xu Qingfan knew Xia Xiaoxiao.

"Good, good. Near vermilion gets stained red, you guys are living proof!" He nodded appreciatively.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't like talking to strangers much, so she just nodded back as a response.

When Principal Old Deng went inside the store, Xu Qingfan wanted to pull Xia Xiaoxiao away, but then the broadcast came on.

"Can you hear me, can you hear me?"

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Ruawen from Class 16. Here's a song 'Waiting for you to finish class' for you all!"

"You live~ in an alley, I rented an apartment there♫"

Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao exchanged smiles, lifting their heads to listen to the broadcast.

"Remember~ the love letters I wrote for you, it's been ages, and I'm still writing them♫"

Song Dongsheng had unknowingly walked back outside, holding a half-eaten egg, and stood by Xu Qingfan, both now fixed on the broadcast.

At the same time, countless students, teachers, and cafeteria workers either stood in the cafeteria, on the playground, or on the roof, all lifting their heads to the broadcast.

A three-minute song silent enchantment spell was cast over the entire campus.

Song Dongsheng chewed his egg thoughtfully.

"When you receive the love letter~ it means I've already gone far away♫"

Not until the last note ended did people snap out of their daze.

"The song is called Waiting for You to Finish Class. Did you like it, Brother Fan?"

The campus switch seemed to turn back on, and countless baboons from Emei Mountain began their eerie calls.

Song Dongsheng looked astonished at Xu Qingfan, "You're in Class 16 too, right? Do you know this girl?"

"Yes, she's also my childhood sweetheart." Xu Qingfan nodded in acknowledgment.

With that, he took Xia Xiaoxiao's hand and left, leaving Song Dongsheng with a bewildered look.
