Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts

He reached out to pull the girl's slipper that was stuck at the ankle, but squatting for too long had made the slipper tightly wedged.

Lin Wanning felt the pain and looked down, then realized the comical sight of her feet at that moment.

"Wuu wuu, I... I didn't know."

"Wuu hiss~" She tried forcefully pulling it herself, but ended up yelping in pain.

"We'll get some dish soap, and I'll carry you back home." Xu Qingfan said, lifting the girl by her armpits.

"Wuu wuu... I... I don't want to go back so soon!" Lin Wanning felt ashamed, her face tear-streaked like a flower-faced cat, and her slipper was still stuck, too embarrassing to be seen by adults.

Xu Qingfan quickly figured out the problem too and rubbed his head, saying, "You ran so fast. Let's first go to the convenience store outside to see if there's anything useful."

"Wuu hmm hmm!" Lin Wanning quickly nodded, her sobs had stopped, her face a mix of crying and smiling, as she opened her arms for a hug.

Xu Qingfan affectionately pinched her little face and turned to squat down.

The girl's arms quickly wrapped around his neck, and Xu Qingfan, supporting Lin Wanning's thighs, stood up again, firmly carrying her on his back.

"The access control is here; this will be your home too, remember that." Xu Qingfan raised his arm and pressed the entrance switch.

"Hmm." Lin Wanning glanced at it and then buried her face back into Xu Qingfan's neck.

"I'll talk about the class division later, let's get the slipper out first, as wearing it too long can impede blood flow." Xu Qingfan kept chattering.

"Hmm." Lin Wanning was very quiet all along.

[Nangong Wenya's touch drives everyone crazy, seems like my head-patting skills are also quite powerful.]

Xu Qingfan thought, [I wonder what this little silly is thinking, how could I dislike her?]

Donghui City had only recently been handed over, many shops on the first floor were still being fitted out, the only place open was a 7-11 convenience store.

"You sit here and wait for me, it'll be just a moment." Xu Qingfan placed Lin Wanning on a chair at the door and said.

"Hmm!"

By this time, Lin Wanning was no longer crying, only occasionally sniffling.

Xu Qingfan gave the girl another head-pat before happily entering the convenience store.

The moment he entered, he spotted what he was looking for, Okamoto lubricant.

First, Xu Qingfan grabbed a 2L bottle of mineral water from the fridge, then casually returned to the cashier, placing the earlier spotted lubricant on the counter with ease.

The female cashier gave him a second look but didn't say anything.

Xu Qingfan had a legitimate use for it, so naturally, he didn't feel embarrassed, paid, and proudly left without the bag offered by the cashier.

Kidding me, ever since Hong Kong enacted the plastic ban, a plastic bag costs fifty cents, highway robbery!

People these days are still quite conservative; BYT doesn't advertise flamboyantly like it would a few years later, so Lin Wanning had never heard of this Okamoto brand.

Xu Qingfan squirted the lubricant onto her feet and easily slipped the slippers off after spreading it evenly.

After being constricted for a long time, a small swelling had formed on the girl's ankle, which Xu Qingfan tenderly soothed.

"Does it hurt?"

Lin Wanning shook her head, "It doesn't hurt, Brother Qingfan, what is this duck?"

It felt like snot, cool and comfortable on her foot.

"Cough cough... it's... it's specially for people to wear bracelets, you know some people have large hands and struggle to wear them." Xu Qingfan blurted out a quick lie, it's reasonable for a convenience store to sell such daily use items, right?

"Ohh, got it, I thought it was something edible." The girl held her cheeks with both hands, sweetly watching Brother Qingfan clean her feet.

The cashier inside the glass window chuckled softly, young people will be young people, seeing the words 'lubricant' and thinking it really was just lubricant.

[But applying it like this to the sole of the foot, and then stepping on it... hiss!] The female cashier felt like she had an epiphany.

On the other side, Xu Qingfan was patiently cleaning the girl's feet. Running down from the seventh floor, Lin Wanning's soles had gathered quite a bit of dust, originally fair, they had turned grey.

Direct hand washing wasn't cleaning it well, so Xu Qingfan squeezed a bit more lubricant on his hand and went back to scrubbing her feet, which now got much cleaner.

Lin Wanning had the smallest feet among the five girls, only size 34, so it was no surprise her slippers would slide down to her ankles.

Ancient people believed that a woman's small feet were exquisite, but the deformed feet formed by foot-binding were not genuinely beautiful.

Only the feet of the girl before him, delicate and radiant in his hands, perfectly round and luminous like six-inch-long jewels, were a true treasure of the world.

Especially now with her entire sole covered in lubricating oil, it was as if, as if sugar coating had been applied over a piece of fine jade, irresistibly sparking more than just the idea of playing with it.

Xu Qingfan was someone who had risen above crude interests. He had applied so much oil solely to help Lin Wanning clean her feet; yes, he was just that considerate.

"Mm~ Brother Qingfan."

"What is it?" Xu Qingfan looked up at her seriously.

"It... it's enough." Lin Wanning, meanwhile, shyly lowered her gaze,

"The other one, do you need help washing it too?" Xu Qingfan had to twist open a bottle of mineral water to rinse her foot.

"No need... Thank you, Brother Qingfan!" Lin Wanning playfully scraped her toes across the back of his hand.

Xu Qingfan helped her put on her shoes, washed his hands clean, then stood up again, "It's okay, the issue with the class divisions isn't what you think, I'll explain it slowly to you."

"Mm!" Lin Wanning nodded earnestly. She wasn't sad anymore because Brother Qingfan still liked her!

[So Brother Qingfan likes playing with Wanning's feet!]

Lin Wanning had figured it out; just now, Xu Qingfan clearly did more than just wash her feet; it was more like he treated her feet... like toys?

She wasn't entirely sure, but the understanding girl wouldn't mention it; that would just make Brother Qingfan embarrassed.

[If I ever accidentally make Brother Qingfan angry in the future, I'll let him play with my feet!]

The afternoon sun was harsh as they crossed the street to Licheng Square and quickly ducked into a small grove for shade.

At this time, the elderly generally took their naps, making it a rare quiet moment.

Xu Qingfan held the girl's hand as they weaved through the trees, all the while explaining to her why he had decided to switch classes in high school.

Truth be told, there wasn't much to say; it was just the same old plan to expand social circles, which even Wu Lingyu couldn't argue against, let alone the girl before him.

But Lin Wanning didn't object, not because she didn't want to but because she knew it was already settled; arguing was pointless, and it was better to negotiate more terms with Brother Qingfan!

"So Brother Qingfan only discussed it with Yu, you weren't just keeping me in the dark, right?"

"Yes, I just talked to Yu this morning. Had I known you'd worry so much, I wouldn't have done it." Xu Qingfan felt somewhat guilty; he hadn't expected Lin Wanning to be so easily persuaded and regretted playing any tricks.

"Hmph~ Brother Qingfan is always like this!" She grabbed Xu Qingfan's arm and bit down, leaving a tooth mark.

It seems girls love doing that, biting their boyfriend's arm when they're upset.

However, Lin Wanning didn't use much force, so it only left a faint mark that would fade soon.

Xu Qingfan didn't quite understand her words but still earnestly said, "I know I was wrong; I won't do it again."

Fortunately, Lin Wanning didn't ask what his mistake was but suddenly stopped, turned around to face him.

"Brother Qingfan."

"Yes?"

"Shouldn't there be a punishment for doing something wrong?" Lin Wanning asked.

"Yes." He nodded.

Xu Qingfan had already decided, even if the girl wanted the stars in the sky, he would invest in aerospace to pluck them for her.

"Then." Lin Wanning didn't finish speaking, just tip-toed.

The next moment, a pair of rosy lips landed on his.

Xu Qingfan:!!!

[Again?]
