Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 447 - 323. Knowing the mistake is good_2

"Don’t move around."

Xia Xiaoxiao felt her face burning hot, and she apologized in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "I’m... I’m sorry."

This proud young lady suddenly became so easy to talk to that Xu Qingfan began to feel a little uncomfortable. He looked up at Xia Xiaoxiao again and, under the light, saw the girl with her head down and blushing like peach blossoms.

Indeed, humans are visual creatures. Faced with Xia Xiaoxiao in this state, Xu Qingfan suddenly didn’t feel so resentful anymore.

His tone softened as he spoke, "It’s okay, just try not to move around too much."

"Mhm."

The smiles bloomed on the faces of the four girls watching the drama unfold behind them; it looked like this pair of bickering buddies was finally making up.

Xu Qingfan, worried about suffering from another odorous foot, wiggled his index finger into the spaces between Xia Xiaoxiao’s toes to hold it steady and also to expose the bruised sides.

"Mmm~"

Xia Xiaoxiao’s body was sensitive in its own right, and being touched this way made her shiver uncontrollably on the couch.

She clamped her gums together to keep from making noise, little knowing that the more she suppressed her breathing, the more irresistible it became to others.

Perhaps it was because the air conditioning was on, but Xia Xiaoxiao’s foot felt ice-cold to the touch. The graceful arch of her foot wasn’t spoiled by the slight red and swollen area.

Even though Xu Qingfan didn’t harbor any peculiar thoughts, he couldn’t help but let his fingers lightly stroke the smooth back of the girl’s foot when touching such a pair of jade-like feet.

However, this was agony for our friend Xiaoxiao. Already ticklish by nature, the touch on her foot was unbearable. The unclear mixture of pain and pleasure caused her to emit intermittent moans from her mouth and nose.

Xiao Ruawen, Wu Lingyu, and Zhang Yiyi didn’t notice anything unusual, only Lin Wanning pondered to herself.

"Xiaoxiao’s noises now... do they sound like that day when Brother Qingfan and I..."]

But she quickly shook her head. "It shouldn’t be, Brother Qing Fan and I were only like that... Xiaoxiao can’t possibly be the same just by getting her foot rubbed..."]

"Is it... is it better now?" Xia Xiaoxiao asked with a trembling voice, her face burning red.

Xu Qingfan then realized that he had been ice-massaging her toe for nearly ten minutes.

Pretending to be nonchalant, he withdrew his hand, changed his squatting position to kneeling on his right knee, and said unhurriedly, "It’s almost better. I’m going to apply some Red Flower Oil now."

"Mmm...."

Xu Qingfan dried Xia Xiaoxiao’s foot, then poured the Red Flower Oil Wu Lingyu handed him into his palm, rubbed his hands to warm it, and began gently massaging to reduce the swelling.

"Ah~"

This time Xia Xiaoxiao really couldn’t help but cry out in pain; each time Xu Qingfan’s thumb pressed over her foot, her cries of pain rose higher.

"I can’t do this anymore... Ah... it hurts... Ah!"

By the end of the five-minute massage, Xia Xiaoxiao was limp on the couch, drenched in sweat.

Realizing Xu Qingfan had finally pulled away, she looked at him through bleary eyes.

"It’s okay, another round tonight and it should be much better," Xu Qingfan said, taking the towel Wu Lingyu handed him and wiping his hands.

Upon the brief eye contact, Xia Xiaoxiao quickly lowered her head again in embarrassment.

"Mmm... thank you."

Hearing the rare ’thank you’ from Xia Xiaoxiao, Xu Qingfan genuinely smiled.

He passed the towel back to Yu, stood up, and patted Xia Xiaoxiao on the head, "Pay more attention where you’re walking next time."

"Oh..."

After Xu Qingfan entered the bathroom, Xiao Ruawen immediately pounced excitedly, "Hahaha... I can’t do this... it hurts... Ah!"

Xia Xiaoxiao instantly got the mental image, and hugged her head in embarrassment and annoyance, "Ahh ahh ahh~ You’re not allowed to say that!"

Wu Lingyu went to put away the first aid kit properly; Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi exchanged glances, both their faces brimming with joy.

Even though Xiaoxiao might become their rival on the path to winning Brother Qingfan’s heart in the future, she was also their family, their friend.

Therefore, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi scorned the use of any schemes or plots, as the family should be united and happy together!

When Xu Qingfan came back into the living room, the scuffle between Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruawen had already ceased.

Lin Wanning immediately bounced up, grabbed his arm, and asked, "Brother Qingfan, it’s almost two o’clock, are we still going to school this afternoon?"

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked towards the living room clock and sure enough, there were less than five minutes left until two in the afternoon.

"Brother Fan, Xiaoxiao hurt her leg; it would be inconvenient to go to school, right?" Having skipped classes all morning, Xiao Ruawen was feeling rebellious and didn’t want to go to school either.

Seeing that Xu Qingfan was about to look her way, Xia Xiaoxiao quickly turned her head away out of guilt.

"Then I’ll send another text to the homeroom teacher, saying our stomachs are still upset from bad food and we’ll continue the afternoon off," Xu Qingfan said with a smile, pulling out his phone.

"Yay!!!"

Sounds of cheers filled the living room instantly.

Relations were mended, no school for the afternoon, not to mention it was Wanning’s birthday and Aunt Zhang’s set visit.

All the happiness stacked together made their spirits soar to their zenith at the moment.

The six of them sat side by side on the couch, watching Pearl River TV’s "The Seventy-Two Tenants of Prosperity."

Xu Qingfan sat for a while before realizing that Zhang Chunxue was missing. He asked with confusion, "Where’s Aunt Zhang?"

Xia Xiaoxiao sat beside him and after hesitating for a few seconds, still replied, "She went upstairs."

"Mmm."

The living room went quiet again, save for the TV where 369’s trademark cursing, "You’re a dead man, a decapitated ghost," could be heard.

Xu Qingfan also didn’t know if this counted as making up with Xia Xiaoxiao. He had originally thought if she didn’t apologize, then he wouldn’t forgive her!
