Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts

The next day.

Worried about being late, Xu Qingfan deliberately got up half an hour earlier.

However, it wasn't too bad; by the time Lin Wanning finished brushing her teeth and washing up, and he carried her downstairs, they were only five minutes later than usual.

Going to school with a wheelchair was quite a novel experience. Xu Qingfan only pushed it a few dozen meters before Xiao Ruawen quickly took over.

After returning to school, without the worry of cars, Xiao Ruawen pushed Lin Wanning forward with all her might.

"Hahaha, charge ahead!"

"Charge duck!"

"Push slower, be careful of stones on the school road."

Xu Qingfan ran a few steps to catch up with them and rewarded each of them with a knock on the head.

"Still charging, huh? Gonna stop or not?" He looked at them speechlessly.

"Hehe, it's fun..." Lin Wanning held her head with a guilty expression.

Xiao Ruawen stuck out her tongue and sheepishly ran back to find Xia Xiaoxiao.

Xu Qingfan pushed her slowly again, deliberately taking a longer route to avoid the steps.

This time slot was peak hours for students returning to the teaching building, and curious glances were cast toward Lin Wanning in her wheelchair.

Lin Wanning lightly bit her lower lip. Although she was used to being watched, sitting in a wheelchair like this was still a bit embarrassing.

Xu Qingfan noticed her embarrassment but didn't tease her; he hurriedly pushed the girl onto the elevator.

After calling yesterday, the elevator was opened early by the teacher, and the sensing plate had already been collected at the security guard post.

"Aren't you coming up?" Seeing them standing at the elevator door, Xu Qingfan asked in confusion.

"Forget it, the fifth floor isn't that high. Fan, I'll take the stairs." Xiao Ruawen chuckled.

"What's there to sit for on the second floor?" Xia Xiaoxiao gave a brief glance.

"Alright, then, we're going up now." Xu Qingfan smiled faintly and closed the elevator door.

He understood their thoughts; perhaps they worried that if they took the elevator, other classmates would want to join too.

Rather than that, it's better to not exercise special privileges in the first place.

The elevator swiftly reached the second floor, and when Xu Qingfan pushed Lin Wanning out, the four girls had already arrived there ahead of them.

"Hahaha, Fan, how come you're slower in the elevator than us walking?" Xiao Ruawen approached and put her hand on the wheelchair, being unhelpful.

Xu Qingfan swatted her hand away and continued pushing Lin Wanning.

When he arrived, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi were already waiting at the staircase, as always. Except for registration day, it was Xu Qingfan's first time visiting the first-year class (1) since the term began.

Xia Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ruawen, and Wu Lingyu were all waiting at the door. As Xu Qingfan pushed the wheelchair in, curious glances from the whole class followed them.

"Over there." Zhang Yiyi gently tugged his sleeve, pointing to an empty double desk and chair.

Xu Qingfan recognized several small items he had given Lin Wanning on the desktop and immediately pushed the wheelchair over.

Zhang Yiyi hurriedly moved a chair aside, creating a space for Xu Qingfan to directly push the wheelchair in.

After settling Lin Wanning in, he smiled and nodded to her group members.

"Call me if you need anything; going back to class now."

"Mm-hmm, goodbye, Brother Qingfan!"

"Goodbye, brother."

Zhang Yiyi just smiled faintly, while Lin Wanning waved both hands, sweetly saying goodbye to him.

Once Xu Qingfan left, two girls who usually hung out with them immediately sidled up.

"Wanning, how's your foot? Is it okay?"

"Yeah, you scared us yesterday when you didn't come to school all day."

Lin Wanning waited until Xu Qingfan's figure had completely disappeared before turning her head back.

She shook her head with a smile: "It's fine, duck, no fracture, just a ligament sprain."

They weren't sure if a ligament sprain was serious, but hearing there was no fracture, they just said, "Good, that's good."

"By the way, Wanning, Yiyi, you both call that guy brother, is he really your brother?"

"Hey~ I've been wanting to ask, he's so handsome; I didn't dare speak when he came in."

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi exchanged a glance, and Zhang Yiyi replied: "Not a real brother, he's..."

Before she finished, the classmates began to jeer: "Oh~ he's a romantic brother!"

"Wow, whose romantic brother is he?" Originally just observing, a male group member now asked curiously.

Just, in a corner where no one could hear, a heart-breaking sound appeared.

Zhang Yiyi glared at the two girls who were making a fuss and continued, "He's our childhood sweetheart that we've grown up with since childhood, calling him brother is just a habit."

"Oh oh oh~ childhood sweetheart!"

"Grown up together."

"Childhood sweetheart~"

"Childhood sweetheart!"

The class burst into another round of uproar, and even the students who were originally drowsy perked up and kept asking, "What's going on? What's going on?"

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi instantly blushed deeply but felt very happy inside.

...

Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruawen returned to Class Sixteen, where Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang, those two noisy guys, unsurprisingly, bombarded him with questions.

"Hey~ Fan, you're finally back! How's your childhood sweetheart?"

"We just bet on whether you'd return to school today; a sprained foot shouldn't be serious, right? Is it fractured?"

"Is it fractured? Fractures are pretty serious, right?"

"Fan, you know, my family owns a traditional medicine shop; we've got some recipes for treating fractures that work quite well."

Xu Qingfan sat down, put his backpack away, and took a sip of hot tea before calmly replying, "Thanks for your concern. No fracture, just a ligament sprain—fortunate in the misfortune."

Wu Shichong didn't understand what a ligament sprain was and looked skeptically at Lai Chenglang.

"Oh~ I actually know this. Fan, it's a minor strain, right? If it's minor, just reduce the frequency of using the foot, and it'll recover in a week or two on its own," Lai Chenglang suddenly clapped his hands and said.

"It's quite severe; the doctor said it'll take over two months to recover," Xu Qingfan replied, looking at him.

"What the hell!"

"No, over two months? That must be serious!"

Seeing Xu Qingfan nod, Lai Chenglang continued, "Initially, you should minimize activity, and when it's almost healed, start rehabilitation training and massage. Fan, do you know how to massage? It's a technique."

Lai Chenglang's face was full of pride, as if to say, "Just ask, wanna learn, I'll teach you!"

"I know, the doctor advised that. If you wonder about my massage skills, just ask Ruawen." Xu Qingfan patted Xiao Ruawen's shoulder and took out his language textbook, preparing for morning reading.

Lai Chenglang's smile froze, but fortunately, Wu Shichong served as his backup mouthpiece.

"No way, Fan, you can massage?"

"Yeah, yeah, Fan is quite good at it; he used to massage us all the time, and even my mom said it was comfortable," Xiao Ruawen nodded and said.

"Your mom... said it was comfortable?"

"This..."

Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang exchanged a glance, their expressions inscrutable.

This is why, somehow, Fan always has goddesses around him; he's comprehensive, so comprehensive!
