Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts

A minor unpleasant incident didn't disturb the good mood of the six people on vacation. After bidding farewell to Xie Rui, the car quickly turned around and was back on the road.

"Brother Qing Fan, was the note you gave really counterfeit?" On the way back, Lin Wanning curiously asked.

Xu Qingfan found it amusing and rubbed the girl's head, "Didn't you just act so earnestly without knowing?"

"Hee hee~ Because I didn't want Siri to feel guilty!" Lin Wanning cutely stuck out her tongue.

"But her dad is so... how could he hit someone!" Xiao Ruawen frowned, the others were all politely avoiding talking about Xie Rui's father, only she said whatever came to her mind.

"We shouldn't meddle in other people's family affairs, Yu should take the chance to ask." Xu Qingfan smiled and took a pomegranate out of the bag to sniff.

"Yep, got it!" Wu Lingyu obediently nodded.

Just like Brother Fan helped her when she was most helpless, Wu Lingyu also hoped she could help Xie Rui if possible.

The topic wasn't very pleasant, and Lin Wanning soon forgot about the counterfeit note. Remembering something Brother Qing Fan had promised her on Monday, she rubbed her hands together gleefully:

"Hee hee hee, Brother Qing Fan, you said you had an idea for a script, are we going to start writing it this weekend?"

Xiao Ruawen's eyes also lit up, "And the lyrics, Brother Fan, the lyrics for that song too!"

Xu Qingfan, as if playing Whack-A-Mole, smacked the two on the head and then said with exasperation, "Just a few days ago you were eager to help me share the workload, but I see that it's more like you're adding to it."

"Hee hee!" The two weren't annoyed and laughed, covering the spots where they had just been smacked.

"Brother, tell us your ideas, and I'll write them with Wanning." Zhang Yiyi leaned her head on his shoulder, squinting and pointing at the car's sunroof.

"Mhm mhm mhm, and we'll even write Brother Qing Fan's name on the script!" Lin Wanning immediately nodded along; in fact, more than drawing comics, she and Yiyi craved Qing Fan's exclusive company.

"That's a good idea." Xu Qingfan snapped his fingers, then looked towards Xiao Ruawen.

"What... what?" Xiao Ruawen instinctively leaned back, resting her weight in Xia Xiaoxiao's arms.

"Look at you, you want to be a singer in the future, but if you can't write lyrics or compose music, that won't do, will it?" Xu Qingfan said with a smile in his eyes.

"Then... should I write them myself?" Xiao Ruawen blinked, uncertain.

"Bingo!" He put his hands together, "Tomorrow morning, I need to go to Hong Kong to check on the company's situation, and I'll teach Wanning and Yiyi how to write the script when I come back at noon, then at night I have to continue planning the next steps in the company's development."

"Yay!" After getting Xu Qingfan's schedule, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi excitedly raised their hands.

"What about me, Brother Fan?" Xiao Ruawen pointed at herself, puzzled.

"You... Should rely on yourself." Xu Qingfan patted her shoulder.

"It's not..."

"No 'it's not'; just do it, work hard, Brother Fan believes in you." Xu Qingfan rubbed the silly girl's head, feeling an inexplicable sense of amusement.

The real reason was that the original lyrics were in Japanese, and Xu Qingfan only knew a few phrases.

Moments later, a loud shout erupted from inside the car.

"But I don't know how!"

"That's why you need to learn."

"Ah! Wah~" Xiao Ruawen covered her face as if her heart was shattered, and collapsed into Xia Xiaoxiao's embrace, "Wah... Xiaoxiao, you'll help me, right?"

Xia Xiaoxiao: ???

"Wah wah wah~ Xiaoxiao, you'll definitely help me, right!" Seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao didn't respond, Xiao Ruawen stealthily pried open her hand to steal a glance at her.

"Nyeh nyeh nyeh!"

Xia Xiaoxiao, lost for words, punched the crying freak; she originally wanted to spend a sweet weekend at home with her stinky dog, especially now that Yu was going back home this week.

"Alright, alright, stop acting, I'll help you, okay?" Who would make Ruan Wen a member of the Xiaoxiao Party, of course, she could only spoil her.

"Yes! Xiaoxiao is the best!!" Xiao Ruawen's face changed in a flash, rubbing against her like a kitten.

Xia Xiaoxiao could only wistfully glance at Xu Qingfan, she hadn't revisited those sticky moments with the stinky dog for a while after that incident, and who knows how long it would be until the next time.

But as soon as she thought that Xu Qingfan probably only did that with her, Xia Xiaoxiao immediately felt less anxious—the advantage was hers!

"Hee hee, with the two of us as Zhuge Liangs on lyrics, we'll definitely be better than Brother Fan the cobbler alone!" With the addition of the genius girl Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ruawen began to feel more confident.

However.

"Since you're so great, next time you don't need to find me for composing music, right? What does a cobbler know about composing," Xu Qingfan retorted.

"Wah~ Brother Fan, I was wrong!"

"Nyeh nyeh nyeh!" Xiao Ruawen instantly reverted to the pure and naïve 170 cm tall high school girl.

"Hahaha..."

...

After dropping off the girls one by one at their homes, the sky had gradually darkened by the time he got home.

Since Wu Lingyu would be traveling to Chu Gang City with Xu Qingfan tomorrow, she was staying over at his house tonight.

"Go take a shower first, dinner won't be ready for a while."

"You're back, were you tired from the military training this past week?"

In the kitchen, Lin Jing and Yao Jiping were busy cooking. When they saw the silhouettes of the three poking their heads in, they smiled and spoke.

"Not tired at all, it rained all week, so we just ended up watching videos in class."

"Auntie, are you making eggplant casserole? It smells so good!"

Xia Xiaoxiao and Wu Lingyu naturally picked up aprons hanging on the wall and put them on before joining the helping crew.

"Auntie saw the video of Xiaofan playing the piano, you looked so cool!" Seeing Xu Qingfan still standing at the doorway, Lin Jing smiled and said.

"Oh, that's right, I bought a piano and put it in your room, go see if you like it." Yao Jiping, as if she had just remembered, added.

Xu Qingfan was slightly surprised, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, "Hmm, thanks, mom."
