Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts

Xu Qingfan seemed to have approved Wu Lingyu's statement because Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi were the most important people to each other, and he was also the most important person to the two of them, so he could accept his own two-timing behavior.

After a brief encounter, Xu Qingfan held her as they lay on the bed, staring at the white ceiling above for a long time without speaking.

"Xiaoyu, you're really good." The scoundrel buried his head in the girl's bosom, digging around like a child.

Lingyu's mom smiled as she gently stroked the back of his head, though she had many thoughts running through her mind.

[When would be a good time to tell Wanning and Yiyi about me and Brother Fan?]

[There's really no need to sneak around at night. Since it's already a done deal, picking a time to just say it would be fine.]

[Maybe wait a bit longer...]

"Xiaoyu, I really like you."

Originally, Xu Qingfan wanted to pull his head out from Wu Lingyu's collar, but finding the narrow opening too small, he had to remove his head from inside the girl's clothes again.

Wu Lingyu tapped his forehead lightly, slightly complaining about Brother Fan for stretching out her clothes.

"Since no one sees it, isn't it more comfortable a size larger anyway?" Xu Qingfan understood her look and grinned, showing his teeth.

Wu Lingyu rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "It's uncomfortable when it's larger, hm~ Brother Fan, stop burrowing."

The delicious dessert was just found by him, so naturally, Xu Qingfan couldn't easily give up.

He transformed into a culinary connoisseur, not missing an inch of the dessert's texture.

Especially the delightful strawberry jam in the center, sweet and sour, leaving a lingering taste, making him unwilling to leave.

At first, Wu Lingyu resisted a bit, but quickly resigned and closed her eyes upon realizing it was futile.

She fantasized herself as a flower in spring, with a diligent little bee extracting her nectar.

The flower secreted pollen, the little bee collected nectar; it was a win-win process.

The creations of nature are always so miraculous.

...

Suddenly hearing footsteps outside the door, Wu Lingyu's previously fuzzy mind instantly became clear.

"Brother Fan, did you lock the door?" She pressed Xu Qingfan's head down with both hands, watching the door warily.

"I think I did, why?" Xu Qingfan hadn't heard any footsteps, and after speaking, he continued diligently gathering nectar.

Wu Lingyu was too lazy to say more, directly pushing Brother Fan's head away.

She had experienced long ago how unreliable he could be while engrossed in such moments.

Fortunately, in winter, wearing more clothes, she zipped up her jacket, instantly leaving no trace behind.

Xu Qingfan's clothes were neat, so there was no need to tidy up the crime scene, but Wu Lingyu still tossed a jacket over to cover his prominent area.

"What is it, Xiaoyu, did you hear footsteps?" Xu Qingfan was still a little dazed, watching Wu Lingyu dress up and walk toward the door.

Wu Lingyu didn't answer. After opening the door...

Well, no one was there.

"Perhaps I heard wrong." Wu Lingyu returned with a slightly embarrassed look.

"I thought so; I was paying attention with my ears and didn't hear anything." Xu Qingfan sighed in relief. After this interruption, the thought of treating Xiaoyu to some food was no longer appealing.

"Uh... I'll go take a shower first." Calming down, Wu Lingyu felt sticky and uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll handle some documents then." The scoundrel nodded and said.

The room quickly only had him left. Xia Xiaoxiao, who was taken away by Lin Jing for a chat, hadn't returned for an hour.

Or maybe Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to spend time with her mom. Xu Qingfan didn't think much, opened the computer, and started working.

...

At nine o'clock in the evening, after showering at home, Xia Xiaoxiao came to Xu Qingfan's room.

"Where's Xiaoyu?" Seeing only him there, Xia Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

Xu Qingfan glanced at the time and said, "Maybe in her room, didn't you see her when you came in?"

"Is that so, I'll go check." Xia Xiaoxiao turned and left after speaking.

Sure enough, Wu Lingyu was in her room blow-drying her hair. The sound of the dryer covered her footsteps, so she didn't notice Xia Xiaoxiao coming.

"Xiaoxiao." Seeing Xia Xiaoxiao come in, she turned off the dryer and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Xiaoyu, let me help you blow it dry." Xia Xiaoxiao gave a gentle smile, walked over, and picked up the dryer.

"Okay."

The two, fresh and lovely, sat cross-legged on the bed. Xia Xiaoxiao adjusted the wind power, and while blow-drying, said: "Last time I got up at midnight to use the bathroom, Xiaoyu, did you go to the bathroom too?"

Xia Xiaoxiao naturally referred to last time when she planned a midnight visit to Xu Qingfan but ended up having Wu Lingyu swoop in instead.

As for the scene of running away in slippers, she chose to forget selectively.

"Yeah, might have been unable to sleep after drinking milk tea before bed." Wu Lingyu nodded, not exposing her either.

"Yeah, me too, drinking milk tea before bed isn't good."

[Seems Xiaoyu hasn't suspected anything.]

Xia Xiaoxiao quietly sighed in relief, as long as Xiaoyu didn't suspect her.

"Right, I haven't drunk it since then."

"Yeah, me neither."

"..."

"..."

The two fell into silence for a moment, with the buzzing sound from the dryer being the only noise in the room.

After a while.

"Alright, the rest can air-dry naturally." Xia Xiaoxiao stopped blow-drying once about eighty percent was dry.

"Thanks, Xiaoxiao."

Wu Lingyu smiled gently, and Xia Xiaoxiao smiled back.

The two exchanged glances, then put on slippers the next moment and left the bedroom together.
