Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 569 - 401. He still can’t be rewarded

It was a good thing no third party witnessed this scene, or else they really couldn't clear their names even by jumping into the Yellow River.

After the flashlight fell onto the bed, it rolled slowly to the floor, emitting a dull thud.

Xu Qingfan gradually came to his senses, and the place where Xia Xiaoxiao was hit no longer hurt as much, their gazes locked, and they looked at each other for a while.

"What are you trying to do?" Xu Qingfan asked, still somewhat dazed, with a feeble tone.

"Erm..." Xia Xiaoxiao's mouth opened slightly, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.

"You... want to kill me?" Xu Qingfan's tone was still weak, but his body tensed up, ready to fiercely counterattack at the slightest hint of movement from Xia Xiaoxiao.

"???"

Three big question marks appeared above Xia Xiaoxiao's head, but soon she realized why Xu Qingfan might have misunderstood. First the choking, then the covering of the mouth, it did seem hard to explain.

"Whose BY kit did you buy it to use with?" Rather than trying to explain the unexplainable, she chose to be the first to accuse.

Xia Xiaoxiao looked as cold as frost, the moment she thought about that matter, the slight embarrassment in her heart instantly vanished.

"Huh?"

Xu Qingfan had expected Xia Xiaoxiao to explain it was all just a playful act, but what on earth was a BY kit?

"What are you talking about?" He even began to doubt whether he was dreaming, as if he were in the second layer of a dream heist.

"Convenience store, BY kit, who is the girl you were holding hands with!" Xia Xiaoxiao didn't beat around the bush anymore, honesty is always the killing move, she went straight to the point.

But Xu Qingfan became even more confused. Although every word Xia Xiaoxiao said was in Chinese, he couldn't understand when they were strung together.

"What convenience store, what BY kit, Xia Xiaoxiao, are you talking nonsense in your dream?" He took advantage of the dim light to look around, making sure there were no weapons around the girl before he let out a sigh of relief.

Xu Qingfan always felt this scene was so familiar, his senior colleague Cheng, wasn't this how the world ended up straddling him?

Xia Xiaoxiao's emotions gradually stabilized because she saw shock and confusion on the face of the stinky dog, but no sign of guilt.

"In the afternoon, when we went to the convenience store to buy stuff, why did the clerk tell me that you last came here with a girl buying condoms!"

She expected Xu Qingfan to provide a reasonable explanation, so she didn't beat around the bush this time.

"What?" Xu Qingfan's eyes widened with incomprehension. He genuinely couldn't understand why the nosy clerk would slander him unprovoked.

"Slander! Defamation! This is a blatant slander!!" He slapped the bed frame forcefully, suddenly infuriated.

Xia Xiaoxiao was already ninety percent convinced. She wasn't the kind of girl to make a senseless fuss, and naturally, she was more willing to believe Xu Qingfan over a stranger.

"So you didn't buy... buy that, and you also didn't... you know, right?" Her eyes brightened, now suddenly aware of being shy.

Seeing Xia Xiaoxiao's tone softening, Xu Qingfan finally let go of his worries. With a slight push from his knees, the girl unexpectedly toppled over.

"Ah~"

After a cry of surprise, Xia Xiaoxiao found herself in the stinky dog's embrace.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but you should first explain why you were choking me just now?" Xu Qingfan bit the girl's nose lightly, watching her with a fierce gaze.

At her core, Xia Xiaoxiao was just a little lamb, and being hugged by Xu Qingfan, she immediately lost her nerve.

"I... I was trying to find your phone... It was under your neck." She turned her head, pressing her ear against Xu Qingfan's nose.

"Ah-hm~"

As a result, as soon as Xu Qingfan blew lightly, she trembled uncontrollably.

"Looking for my phone by choking me, are you trying to fool a ghost? Xia Xiaoxiao, are you after my life?"

Xu Qingfan knew the girl was sensitive and intentionally spoke close to her ear, causing Xia Xiaoxiao's body to squirm uncontrollably.

"I... I just wanted to play a prank, I really just wanted to get the phone." Xia Xiaoxiao tucked in her neck, but the ticklish feeling didn't subside.

"Ah~"

But Xu Qingfan went ahead and bit down on half of her ear, munching on it as though it were a pig's ear.

"Stop... Xu Qingfan I know I'm wrong.... Hmm-ah please don't." The girl, turned into a little lamb, lost her usual arrogance. Even the voice in which she spoke was coquettishly soft.

"You better clarify what's the deal with that condom thing, don't make it seem like I'm bullying you." If his hand weren't slipping into the girl's pajamas at that moment, his words might have been somewhat believable.

[You are clearly bullying me right now!]

"Well... it was after you went to... you went to buy water, and that... stop... the clerk told me, you last came holding a girl's hand, to buy that."

Xia Xiaoxiao managed to finish the sentence with difficulty.

"Did she really say that? She said I came here holding a girl's hand to buy condoms?"

Xu Qingfan was still somewhat in disbelief. If it were really the case, then the only thing he wanted to say was that she had chosen a surefire way to die. In Hong Kong, his own turf, someone dared to slander him?

"Yes!" Xia Xiaoxiao first nodded, but then seemed to remember something and quickly shook her head, "It wasn't quite like that... She pointed at something on the shelf... and told me that you were no good!"

The girl emphasized the last few words, suggesting somewhat of a personal grudge.

[You are indeed no good, rotten to the core!]

"Smack!"

"I think you're beating around the bush, in need of a good sorting out, aren't you?"

"Wuuu~ It's true!" Xia Xiaoxiao bit her teeth and held firm.

"Slap!" He smacked again, gradually making sense of the situation and its origins.

[It must be because of the last time we bought lubricant with Wanning, that punk misinterpreted it.]

But looking at the obedient Xia Xiaoxiao in front of him, he felt like he wasn't at a loss.

"The place she was pointing at, aside from that thing, wasn't there bottled lubricant for sale next to it?"

"Ah?"

Xia Xiaoxiao recalled for a moment, then uncertainly replied, "It seems there was..."

"Slap! What do you mean 'it seems'? There was, I bought that thing last time!"

Xia Xiaoxiao stood there with her mouth agape, a touch of guilt welling up inside her, but that feeling quickly dissipated.

[How can he even say that, buying this or that, is there any difference?]

The girl furiously thought of getting up, only to receive another slap on her butt from Xu Qingfan.

"You're still hitting!"

"Don't rush, let me explain." He knew Xia Xiaoxiao must have misunderstood and hurriedly rubbed the just slapped area to soothe her, thinking anyway he wasn't losing out.

"Speak!" The angry girl no longer paid attention to these things.

"Here's the thing, remember Wanning cried and ran out of the moving banquet..."

"It was her!" Xia Xiaoxiao exploded with rage.

"Slap! Can you listen until I finish!" Xu Qingfan was nearly at a loss for words.

"Speak!"

"When she ran out, she didn't change her slippers, and in her haste, the shoe got stuck in her ankle and she couldn't get it out by hand, so I bought lubricant from the convenience store, that's all!"

Fearing Xia Xiaoxiao would continue to jump to conclusions, Xu Qingfan quickly explained the situation in the simplest terms.

"Is that it?" After hearing the whole story, the girl was speechless for a while.

"What else would you think? Using lubricant for some weird stuff?" Xu Qingfan bumped his head gently against hers.

"Ow~ That hurts!"

After hearing the explanation, Xia Xiaoxiao's anger instantly vanished, and she let Xu Qingfan hug her like an obedient baby.

"Hmph~ You just have wild imaginations, coming in the middle of the night to strangle my neck. I see you just want to take my life!" Xu Qingfan wouldn't indulge her, sending another slap her way.

"Sorry~" Xia Xiaoxiao rarely blushed shyly, cooing her words.

"Hmph!"

Xu Qingfan continued to pretend to be angry, but in reality, he had already calmed down; the contrasting coquettish behavior of Xiaoxiao, who could resist that?

"Xu Qingfan, I know I was wrong." Having apologized once before, Xia Xiaoxiao was now more practiced.

She held his face with both hands, looking into his eyes sincerely.

Xu Qingfan really couldn't stand that look, and his hands, previously mischievous, stopped their erratic movements, shyly turning his head away.

"I forgive you," he said in a very small voice.

"Then can your hand come out now?" Xia Xiaoxiao felt she had regained the upper hand and was greatly pleased with herself.

"Uh..." Since he was caught out, it would be embarrassing to continue.

Xu Qingfan obediently withdrew his hand and laid it flat on the bed.

"Then we're even, I accidentally misunderstood you, and you hit me... now we're square!" Xia Xiaoxiao adjusted his head so he was facing her again and continued seriously.

But the fleeting blush on her face caused Xu Qingfan's Adam's apple to bob.

"Square, then square."

"Xu Qingfan."

"What is it."

...

"Xu Qingfan."

"Yeah."

The dim room, the ambiguous position, their breathing increasingly heavy.

"Xu Qingfan... that thing you bought... the shoe remover, have you used it up?"

"What do you want to do?" Xu Qingfan was startled.

"I'm just curious and asking randomly." Xia Xiaoxiao said.

"Not yet, it's hidden in the bottom drawer." He couldn't help feeling expectant.

"Oh, I'm going back to bed!"

Xia Xiaoxiao forced herself to calm down, quickly climbed off him, and after putting on her shoes, she staggered out of the room.

[I shouldn't be doing that, at least not until I'm in college!]

Once she had rushed back to her own room, Xia Xiaoxiao looked down at her own pristine feet, feeling a blush of embarrassment for the thoughts that had just crossed her mind.

[I actually thought... I thought about using my foot...]

Xia Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously, casting out the terrifying thought.

Kissing is fine, hugging is fine, spanking... reluctantly fine.

But anything more, no way!

[At least I have to be of age, maybe I'll reward him on the rooftop tomorrow then.]

Having thought it through, Xia Xiaoxiao promptly went to sleep.

Just that, a certain dog of a man had a rough night ahead.
