Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 609 - 426. Xia Xiaoxiao, you really deserve to die!_2

"No need to be polite!" It felt like a forced reboot, and Wang Xuan perked up completely.

She picked up her book and resumed reading out loud, her voice louder than an entire class combined.

"Homework." Xiao Ruawen took out her homework and handed it to Xu Qingfan, then she too laid her head on the desk to sleep.

However, she kept stealing glances at Xu Qingfan from time to time.

Her normally carefree personality had suffered from insomnia for the first time last night.

Initially, she was figuring out how to reason properly with Brother Fan, to instruct him earnestly.

But somehow, her mind became obsessed, constantly replaying the scenes of her and Brother Chou Fan hiding in the school building at night.

What Xiao Ruawen couldn't deny to herself was that her heart was in turmoil.

Of course, she blamed all these on the hormones of adolescence, which had nothing to do with the true feelings of her heart, nothing at all!

[How should I talk to Brother Fan...]

Yet whatever the case, she now felt a bit uneasy about facing Xu Qingfan alone.

Even now, when she wasn't alone with him, she felt somewhat inexplicably guilty.

Men didn't harbor so many thoughts; Xu Qingfan distributed the homework to the class representatives of each subject, returned to his desk, and fell asleep within minutes.

During this time, Guo Youcai came for a round of classroom inspection and almost burst out in anger when he saw the state of morning reading.

However, after seeing Xu Qingfan also sleeping, he decided to leave quietly.

"Mr. Guo, your class has the worst morning reading in the whole grade, and the reading isn't even louder than my speaking, how can this be acceptable!" The young deputy head caught Guo Youcai just as he was about to return to his office.

"It's just after a long holiday, it's normal not to adjust their schedule yet, we need to be more lenient with the kids, with good rest during the morning reading, they'll have the energy to listen attentively during the next four classes."

Guo Youcai turned back, patting his shoulder earnestly.

"It's not..."

"I know what I'm doing, don't worry about it."

Deputy Head: ???

...

Xu Qingfan continued to sleep through the morning reading and the first two periods, only regaining his energy during the big break.

Monday's big break was for the flag raising. After arranging the class in a line, they descended the stairs on the left side first.

"Brother Fan, did you know, it seems like there was a thief in the boys' dormitory last night."

"Yes, yes, yes, the dorm supervisor was asking us one by one if we lost anything, don't know whose stuff was stolen."

Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang obviously also regained their vitality, standing still under the Five-star Red Flag, then resumed their non-stop chatter.

"Pfft... really, did anyone lose something?" Xu Qingfan almost couldn't hold back, could this thief be referring to him and Xiao Ruawen?

"Don't know about that, no one in our class lost anything, but a guy in our brother class did lose something." Lai Chenglang said.

"Someone in the next dorm actually lost their underwear, Brother Fan, do you know what happened next?" Wu Shichong replied.

"Cough!"

"And then what happened?"

Xu Qingfan thought: I'm not carrying this ridiculous pot!

"Haha... haha the underwear was taken by a rat!"

"Because it had protein on it!"

As the two of them took turns speaking, the moment the words left their mouths, everyone nearby started convulsing, clearly holding back their laughter.

"What..... pfft!"

Xu Qingfan was about to ask what protein they were talking about when he glimpsed the sleazy expressions on their faces and instantly understood.

God damn protein!

"So how did you know it was the rat that ate the protein?" He struggled to keep from laughing.

"Haha... silly Kun was shouting that someone had his underwear, then we thought it'd be fun to help him look for it."

"And indeed, it was found under the bed with signs of rat bites!"

"And not just that, beside the gnawed area, there was that stuff, you know!"

Without Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang needing to explain, the enthusiastic classmates around had already pieced together the whole story in just a few words.

Classes fifteen and sixteen had the same teachers and also had physical education together; thus, everyone was very familiar.

"Awesome."

Xu Qingfan's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he began looking for Yao Haikun among the next class.

[Hmm? Can't find him, probably moved to another planet to live overnight.]

Mice would eat the protein on underwear—he'd only heard about it on the internet before, and never did he expect to encounter a real case in reality.

So it seems, commuting to school does have its benefits, at least you don't have to worry about mice nibbling on your underwear.

Of course, there are drawbacks too; missing out on firsthand experiences of such sensational news always feels a little less satisfying.

Xu Qingfan shook his head, merely considering this an episode in life, and redirected his focus back to the rising Five-star Red Flag.

"Today's flag-raising ceremony will announce two major events!"

"First, the school's centenary celebration is on the twentieth of this month. All clubs will have the opportunity to perform on stage, and the school will also organize related fun activities and a handwritten newspaper competition. I hope everyone participates actively."

"Secondly, on this centennial occasion, our school has decided to adopt a new school anthem, the very popular 'Misaligned Time' on the internet, penned and sung by our very own Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruawen. I believe you all must have heard it during the holidays."

As Song Dongsheng had expected, the entire school, with more than three thousand faculty and students, erupted instantly.

"'Misaligned Time' is our school anthem?!"

"I've been playing 'Misaligned Time' on loop these past few days!"

"Me too, have you seen the video? It's literally tear-jerking!"

"Haha, did our school even have an anthem before this?"

"..."

Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruawen instantly became like pandas, drawing curious glances from the students around them.

"Ruan Wen, your singing is really beautiful!"

"Awesome, Brother Fan, you know how to write songs too?!"

"Epic!"

Song Dongsheng obviously couldn't control the situation, trying numerous times, yet the commotion of the crowd continued unabated.

"All classes, exit in an orderly manner!"

His words were like a fuse, igniting the crowd who were already curious about what Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruawen looked like, wondering if they had three heads and six arms. In an instant, students swarmed towards them.

Within seconds, they were surrounded from every direction.

"Oh crap."

Xu Qingfan was genuinely startled by the spectacle, his eyes immediately sought Xiao Ruawen, who was being swarmed, and without a second thought, he ran towards her.

"What are you still doing here, wanting to be gawked at?"

"Ah—Brother Fan." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Xiao Ruawen had not had the chance to respond before her body was already being pulled along by Xu Qingfan.

Fortunately, not everyone recognized them. The two took advantage of the crowd not yet fully encircling them, and ran without looking back.

"So it's them, huh?"

"So handsome, and the girl is so beautiful!"

"They're such a good match, do you think they're dating?"

Following the explanation by some enthusiastic students, more and more people became aware of the two fleeing hand in hand, who were none other than Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruawen.

"So romantic, right? It feels like something out of a TV drama!"

"TV dramas can't even create scenes like this, Murong Yunhai only takes you to lease fish ponds, haha!"

"So boring!" Xia Xiaoxiao glared at the girl who mentioned romance, huffing away alone and leaving the pair of chattering girls staring at each other in bewilderment.

"Is she talking about us?" one of the girls pointed at her own face.

"Seems like it."

"Tsk, with such a bad temper, no man would want her even if she's pretty!"

"Exactly!"

As if afraid Xia Xiaoxiao wouldn't hear them, the two deliberately raised their voices.

Xia Xiaoxiao's steps were steady, her heart undisturbed.

[Funny, that stinky dog is totally mine, you're the one men don't want!]

[It's because she didn't want to be surrounded, that Ruan Wen ran with him. Ruan Wen is the best sister!]

One is a stinky dog marked by her, the other, her best sister for life. No matter who she doubted, she shouldn't doubt Xiao Ruawen and Xu Qingfan.

Xia Xiaoxiao started to feel guilty for her earlier jealousy; she remembered Xu Qingfan had once called her unreasonable.

[Isn't that being unreasonable?]

[Ruan Wen was helping me, how could I be jealous of Ruan Wen!]

Xia Xiaoxiao, you really deserve to die!
