Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 566 - 399. Treat you like a superstar
After dinner, the sky had gradually darkened.
Since it was an unexpected encounter, Wu Lingyu wasn't called to join.
However, on the way back to the teaching building, Xu Qingfan did buy an extra old-fashioned popsicle for Yu.
The sunset turned from orange to red, and the six of them stood in the corridor connecting the first and second-year buildings, eating their popsicles.
"High school has so much homework, duck, you can't finish it, just can't finish it!" Lin Wanning leaned on the railing, tapping the metal barrier with the wooden stick from her finished ice cream.
"Exactly, Chinese, math, English, biology, geography, history, politics, physics, chemistry—every subject has a workbook, plus we have to write test papers. When will it end!" Xiao Ruawen empathized, hugging Wanning from behind for comfort.
"That's high school for you. After you split into arts and sciences in second year, you can drop three subjects, but the amount of homework is pretty much the same," Xu Qingfan said with a smile, feeling quite okay about it himself.
Chinese class for math, math class for physics, physics class for English, just never paying attention in class.
Wu Lingyu's eyes suddenly lit up because she remembered what Brother Fan had promised her, that they would be in the same class in the second year!
"You can listen to the teacher and do the homework at the same time, that way you won't have so much to do during evening self-study," Wu Lingyu shared her experience with everyone.
"But in math, if I don't listen for a moment, I lose track of where the teacher is."
"Exactly, duck!"
Seeing Xiao Ruawen and Lin Wanning both turn to look at her, Wu Lingyu shook her head and laughed: "Not math, la, it's those subjects like geography and history where you can listen to the teacher and make notes while filling in the workbook answers. It's doable."
"Oh oh oh I thought you meant like Brother Fan, not listening at all during class and just doing the homework," Xiao Ruawen nodded vigorously.
"Then I'll give it a try tomorrow, duck," Lin Wanning told Xu Qingfan with a wink.
"Yu's method is pretty good, that way you won't get distracted during class. I've seen Ruan Wen zone out in class, and while the teacher had reached page 38, her book was still on page 28."
After being called out by the girls, he likewise responded in kind.
"You you you, I don't zone out often!" Xiao Ruawen stepped away from Lin Wanning, pointing at him huffily.
"Then let's just say occasionally."
Xiao Ruawen thought about it, still visibly angry, and said, "Not even occasionally!"
"Anyway, you do!"
"I don't!"
"You do!"
"Ah ah ah, Brother Chou Fan, I'm going to take you on!!"
"Scared of you?"
The two used their finished ice cream sticks as weapons to duel, while the audience consisted of four girls and countless classmates sneakily watching.
"Go Brother Qing Fan!"
"Go Ruan Wen!"
"Go Brother!"
Their shouts made the duel seem both ridiculous yet slightly official, and in the end, Xu Qingfan emerged the more skillful, successfully poking the school badge on the girl's uniform.
"Easy peasy." Xu Qingfan proudly sheathed his 'sword', putting the stick he had just used back in his mouth.
"Hmph!" Xiao Ruawen grimaced, then stood back next to Xia Xiaoxiao, her face flushing slightly.
Because Xu Qingfan's attack had hit her in a sensitive spot, causing her to still feel strange all over.
"You always call others childish, but you're the most like a primary schooler." Xia Xiaoxiao glared disdainfully at the always ridiculous Brother Chou.
Xu Qingfan raised his finger in a 'I'll teach you a lesson later' gesture, Xia Xiaoxiao responded similarly by defiantly tilting her head up.
"Why has Yiyi been looking at her phone all this time?" Xu Qingfan leaned over and saw the girl browsing through messages in the class group chat.
"They're asking where they can listen to the song Ruan Wen sang this afternoon, I told them it's a new song and hasn't been released yet." Seeing everyone leaning in, Zhang Yiyi handed her phone over for them to look.
"Hehe~ Ruan Wen is going to be famous, the broadcast station's group was discussing it just now." Lin Wanning also opened her phone for everyone to see.
"She's probably going to be famous. Before, people on Weibo only knew your voice, I guess it won't be long before they start posting your photos, and then you'll have crazy fans blocking your way." Xu Qingfan said, laughing while patting Xiao Ruawen's head.
"Ah, should I set my Weibo to disable comments?" Xiao Ruawen was genuinely a bit panicked at that thought, fearing annoying crazy fans might show up at school.
"Getting scared now, huh? And you still want to be a big star?"
"I... I'm worried it might affect everyone." That was indeed Xiao Ruawen's main concern.
"Don't be nervous, it won't come to that unless one day you become as famous as Wang Xinning."
"It's all because you scared me!" Xiao Ruawen glared at him with slight resentment.
"It should be fine, just like in elementary school when we used to draw comics, no one treated us like pandas to be gawked at."
"Exactly, it's all Brother Chou Fan scaring me!"
However, Xiao Ruawen seriously considered: [If I could really become as famous as Wang Xinning, maybe Dad wouldn't oppose my singing anymore?]
"Let's go, big star, time to head back for evening self-study." Seeing Xiao Ruawen still standing there daydreaming, Xu Qingfan tapped her on the head to snap her out of it.
"Hmph~ Wait till I become a big star, the first thing I'll do is to write your essay!"
"Dare to dream, even if you become a big star you'll still be my canary in the hand. I'm already nice enough not meddling too much, and you dare write an essay on me?"
"I'll write, I'll write!"
"Then I think you have a death wish," Xu Qingfan said, tapping her on the head while his mind was busy thinking of other things.
[The Voice of China seems to have started in 2012, maybe by then Good Taste Takeout could sponsor it, locking in a championship for Xiao Xiao wouldn't be too audacious, right?]
"You see, he's not talking, he must be thinking about that sneaky business!"
"Talking about it today, acting on it tomorrow!"
"I guess Brother Fan didn't establish a music company with good intentions!"
Xu Qingfan had been lost in thought, but it was hard to ignore with constant shoulder shoving.
"Nice one, Xiao Ruawen, just when I thought about how to boost you as a big star, you stab me in the back to my face!"
"Nah nah nah~ with Brother Fan's words, you can't trust a single punctuation mark!" Although she said so, she still meekly hid behind Xia Xiaoxiao and asked, "What's the plan then?"
"What plan? To tell your dad about your harmful singing habit and let him break your legs!"
"Xiao Xiao, you hear him!"

Xia Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders, she had already heard, but she expressed her helplessness.
"Speak up instead of acting like a grade schooler all the time." However, as leader of Xiao Xiao's support squad, Ruawen still had to speak up.
"Blue-collar Platform is starting a singing competition soon, similar to Mango Channel's Super Girl. I plan to get Aunt Zhang to invest some advertising money, becoming a gold father. I'm not outright saying Ruawen should be the champion, but making it to the finals should be a breeze." He explained his plans thoroughly.
"Ah?"
"Interested? By then, the biggest gold father will be me, you won't have to worry about any sneaky tactics." Seeing her stunned expression, Xu Qingfan lifted his chin and spoke.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Ruawen jumped in front of him the next second, shaking her shoulders as she spoke: "But no need to rig it, playing fair is fine!"
"Eh~ for some reason my neck feels sore all of a sudden, and this leg, feels like it's not even mine."
"Brother Fan, how did you know I'm the best at massages? I'll give you one during the evening self-study session!"
People were used to the girl's quick change of face, but they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha..."
