Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 421 - 307. Xu Qingfan likes big ones.

In the following weeks, the six of them gradually settled back into the rhythm of school life.

Although they were about to enter the ninth grade with the new term, none of them felt much pressure, and life continued to be leisurely and slow.

The new chemistry teacher was humorous and droll, even reciting mnemonic rhymes in Cantonese as if issuing periodic interest from a tea house.

Moreover, with Qingfan, who had been a chemistry prodigy, giving them extra help, they all scored full marks on the chemistry quizzes.

Combined with their consistently stable performance in other subjects, the high school entrance exam seemed like just an insignificant hurdle on their path to advancement.

Half a month flew by...

...

September 24th, Tuesday.

Tomorrow would be Wanning’s birthday. The Secret Base had already been decked out with festive balloons and banners ahead of time, the cake had been pre-ordered, and even Little White, the gatekeeper cat of the yard, had been hauled to the pet clinic for a bath and had its butt trimmed into a heart shape.

Wanning’s desired birthday gift remained unchanged; she hoped to wake up to see Brother Qingfan on her birthday.

But that was to be expected, as the path of a young girl’s growth already lacked nothing, with best friends, a pet dog raised together, loving parents, inexhaustible pocket money, and most importantly, Brother Qingfan, who doted on her unconditionally.

For Wanning, limited edition bags and jewelry, or collector’s edition plush toys, were no match for Brother Qingfan’s simple morning kiss.

Yes, because a birthday surprise wasn’t about diving under the covers as anticipated, Wanning had added a specific request: on her birthday, Qingfan was to kiss her forehead and then say good morning.

[In the morning, Brother Fan will gently sweep aside my bangs, lean down to kiss my forehead, and then say to me, "Good morning, duck, my little princess Wanning..."]

[Hee hee hee...]

"What are you grinning about? Focus on the paper," Qingfan said as he tapped Wanning’s head with a pen, urging her on.

"Ah... oh, hee hee~" Hearing Brother Fan’s voice, the girl instinctively nodded.

She let go of her cheeks, which she had been cupping in her hands, and upon seeing Qingfan’s face clearly, she couldn’t help but giggle again.

"Stop twirling your pen and focus on the paper as well," Xiao Xiao said as she knocked her pen against Qingfan’s head.

Ruan Wen, upon seeing Qingfan’s deflated expression, couldn’t help but feel like laughing, but when she was met with the serious gaze of discipline committee member Xiao Xiao, she wisely covered her mouth with both hands to stifle her laughter.

Yiyi and Lingyu were self-disciplined top students, unperturbed by external distractions once they entered study mode, and thus remained engrossed in their work.

Once Ruan Wen managed to suppress her laughter, Wanning also ceased daydreaming, and soon the living room was filled only with the "swish swish" of pens writing on paper.

Despite Wanning’s birthday being the next day, the evening self-study routine, a habit ingrained over time, could not be missed.

"Ring, ring, ring—"

At 9:30 p.m., the alarm clock placed in the center of the dining table went off, signaling the end of their evening self-study for the day.

Aside from Lingyu, who was still engrossed in an unsolved math problem, the other five instinctively put down their pens and stretched languidly at their seats.

Little White, hearing the commotion, jumped off the sofa and made its way over.

"Meow~"

"Mmm~ Little White!" Ruan Wen hugged the passing cat in a daze of excitement.

"Supper, supper, Brother Fan, make supper!" Wanning got up and patted Qingfan’s shoulders.

"Hurry up, I’m hungry," Xiao Xiao said, resting her chin on the table and lightly tapping Qingfan’s arm with her nail.

"I want some too! Brother Fan, I also want to eat seafood porridge!" said Ruan Wen, sandwiching the cat between her arms.

Qingfan withdrew his hand from Xiao Xiao’s teasing touch and looked at Ruan Wen with resignation, "Where am I supposed to get seafood at this hour!"

"There’s some in the fridge," she said, petting the cat’s head.

"That’s for Wanning’s birthday dinner tomorrow. If it’s gone, are you going to the market to replace it?" Qingfan asked with a sidelong glance.

"It’s okay, duck, we don’t need to eat it tomorrow, let’s eat it tonight, and celebrate the birthday early!" Wanning said, rubbing her soft belly.

"Brother Fan, did you hear that? The birthday girl Wanning wants seafood porridge, go and cook some~" Ruan Wen, having put down the cat, came over to massage him servilely.

"Hehe~ Brother Fan, does that feel good?"

"Mm~ not bad, put a little more strength into it." He squinted in pleasure.

"Yeah, right there, Ruan Wen, when did you get so good at this... Hey, be gentle!" Qingfan turned to look and was startled to find that Xiao Xiao had swapped places with Ruan Wen behind him. He shuddered in shock.

"Darn, Xiao Xiao, are you trying to poison me!"

Xiao Xiao withdrew her hand, crossed her arms, and her loose pajamas suddenly accentuated a graceful curve.

Qingfan pursed his lips, [Don’t think you can seduce me like that!]

He raised his hand to hit her but then stopped as Xiao Xiao stood there nonchalantly, challenging him with an expression of "what are you going to do about it."

Qingfan’s hand fell gently as he patted her head and then turned to ask, "Yu, Yiyi, what do you guys want to eat?"

Zhang Yiyi glanced at Wanning and smiled, "Seafood porridge and stir-fried beef ho fun."

"Brother Fan, same for me." Lingyu finally finished her math problem and looked up at him with a smile.
