Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 474 - 342. Xia Xiaoxiao’s Excessive Demands

On the rooftop, the unified shadow finally separated.

The urgent gasps of breath sounded like a pipa poem being played, with the deep strings blaring like a downpour and the light strings whispering like secret talks.

The damp tips of her hair resembled someone who had just been fished out of water, and a slight breeze passed by, quickly condensing on her face.

The rooftop, the warm sun, the young man and woman snuggled against each other, the world seemed to be reduced to only this corner.

Xu Qingfan reopened his eyes, gazing at the horizon, his heart indescribably throbbing and flustered.

Xia Xiaoxiao also reopened her eyes, hugging the boy tighter with both arms, feeling embarrassed and blushing, yet she did not regret the decision she had just made.

Xu Qingfan had done so much for her, and in that moment just now, the girl felt that apart from giving him her first kiss, there was nothing else she had to offer in return.

That was what she thought, so she did just that.

The experience was extremely beautiful, more so than the sum of her first fifteen years of life.

[Only a fool like Ruan Wen would think that kissing is meaningless, haha, she doesn't understand a thing!]

Thinking back to what Xiao Ruawen once emphatically told her, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help but want to laugh.

[But what should I do now.....]

Xia Xiaoxiao shyly buried her face in his neck, her exhaled breath causing Qingfan to tremble uncontrollably.

On the other side, Xu Qingfan was also full of thoughts.

If before he could deceive himself by saying that without using the tongue it didn't count for much, but what was this situation now?

In the past more than ten minutes, he had countless opportunities to speak up and stop it, but he didn't.

First Lin Wanning, then Xia Xiaoxiao, he felt he was really worthless.

He couldn't even think about future possibilities with other girls; he was just full of regret, regretting that his lower desires had controlled his better judgment just now.

[But I can't blame myself, right? In that kind of situation, would dodging have made me less than a beast?]

Faced with the choice between being a beast and being less than one, Xu Qingfan very decisively chose the former.

What he had just done could no longer be explained as merely brother and sister, and there was also the prevous encounter with Lin Wanning.

Xu Qingfan realized he really couldn't resist temptation, clearly not cut out for a career as an official.

[Look at yourself, your hand is still in that place on the girl!]

Xu Qingfan swallowed his saliva and stealthily moved his hand upward.

"Hmm~"

Xia Xiaoxiao almost lost her balance, but fortunately, she was wrapped in his arms, preventing a fall.

Both kept silent by mutual understanding as if pretending the event never occurred.

Xu Qingfan's heart was still struggling; he kissed and touched her, so shouldn't the next step naturally be a confession, despite being a little young? But he would take responsibility.

But currently, the issue was that there wasn't just Xia Xiaoxiao he needed to be responsible for, but Lin Wanning too!

If he chose Xiao Xiao, what would happen if Lin Wanning, feeling wronged and upset, exploded in emotion?

"Brother Qing Fan, how could you do this, you clearly at the hotel last time..."

Wouldn't Lin Qiaoshan chase him down with a watermelon knife?

Yet if he chose Wanning, Xiao Xiao going to Lin Jing and Yao Jinping would spell one thing: death.

It seemed like whatever he chose, death was the only outcome.

[Since it's death either way, why not... just... Unlike Cheng, who is a pure teddy bear, I'm different, I just want to give them a home!]

Humans are selfish creatures, and for once, Xu Qingfan felt the impulse to be a good man.

Wanting to be good to every girl he cared about, how could that not make him a good man?

Unfortunately, Xia Xiaoxiao had no idea what he was thinking at the moment, or she would surely drag him to jump off the rooftop with her.

Their chaotic breathing gradually stabilized, and though they were still embracing in the most intimate pose, both felt indescribably awkward.

Xia Xiaoxiao's body slowly regained strength, no longer needing to rely on Xu Qingfan to stand steady.

But just thinking about what his audacious hands had done a moment ago made her feel weak as if electrocuted.

[How could he be like that... Such a pervert!]

Xia Xiaoxiao quietly smoothed out the wrinkles on her trousers behind her back, her face covered in a touch of charming blush.

At the same time, she was pretty anxious, because they were still junior three students, and puppy love was definitely out of the question, but...

[But he had already gone that far just now...]

Xia Xiaoxiao felt that Xu Qingfan surely liked her too, otherwise why didn't he reject her just now?

She was on the right path, the only problem being that it was a bit too early; if it were three years later...

[If it's three years later, I will definitely drag him to announce to the whole world that this stinky dog is mine!]

Thinking of their future happy life together, Xia Xiaoxiao's cheeks bloomed with a bright smile.

[It's a pity I'm still too young now... and... and I just like him a little bit, it's not like I have to marry him... The kiss was to thank him, and I won't fuss over the hand incident, hmph~]

Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of love strategies she had seen online, which seemed to say that girls shouldn't be too forward, or the boys won't cherish them.

[If he dares not to cherish... I... I'll bite him to death!]

While Xia Xiaoxiao was in her own world of anxiety, Xu Qingfan was also struggling internally, as becoming a scumbag was indeed a bit too difficult for someone who was a paragon of pure love.

"Xu Qingfan..."

Fortunately, Xia Xiaoxiao's sudden voice broke the deadlock and Xu Qingfan drew back just in time before sinking too deep into the mire.

"Hmm?"

Xia Xiaoxiao bit her lip and finally spoke up, "I kissed you just to thank you for the birthday gift, there's no other meaning, you... don't overthink it..."

"Ah?"

Before he could ask any questions, Xia Xiaoxiao had already escaped from his coat and staggered away from the rooftop.

Xu Qingfan watched in a daze as the girl's figure disappeared around the stairwell corner, his mouth open but without producing a sound.

Just when he thought Xia Xiaoxiao had left, she suddenly turned back, stood at the top of the stairs, and waved at him.

"Thank you for the birthday gift, I really like it!"

"Thank you, Xu Qingfan!"

He nodded mechanically, watching Xia Xiaoxiao turn to leave, and then she looked back with a smile, "You can't tell anyone about today's incident!"

After the girl finished her last sentence, she vanished from his sight as if fleeing.

Yet, in a corner where he could neither see nor hear, another sentence echoed.

"I like you, Xu Qingfan!"

Looking at the empty rooftop, Xu Qingfan stood rooted to the spot in a stupor.

If it wasn't for the lingering warmth of her on his tongue, Xu Qingfan would have thought he was dreaming.

The cold wind poured down his collar, chilling his neck, and Xu Qingfan finally regained a bit of clarity.

[So I don't have to choose anymore?]

...

The girl ran home, stumbling all the way, opening and closing the door in one fluid motion.

Not until she had locked her bedroom door did she slide to the floor against the wall, hugging her knees, gazing vacantly with an unstoppable, silly grin on her face.

"Heeheehee..."

"Kissing... heehee... he's so outrageous..."

Every time she thought back to the scene just now, Xia Xiaoxiao felt as if all her strength had drained away, and her cheeks were scorching hot like a steam engine.

She had made up her mind; happiness is achieved by fighting for it herself, so forget all the strange comparisons, she, Xia Xiaoxiao, wanted to compete, really compete!

[The stinky dog's first kiss is already mine, and he will definitely be mine too!]

Perhaps because this life presented her with a strong rival, Xia Xiaoxiao was noticeably more proactive.

Despite what she said on the rooftop about not having him overthink things, it was merely a strategic ploy from "The Art of War" to feign retreat in order to lure the enemy.

[Men are a tough breed; the more you play hard to get, the more they'll follow the rules!]

Don't get it wrong; this phrase was something she found online while looking up love strategies, whether it worked was yet to be verified.

"Hmph~ he's so good at it!"

She held her cheeks in her hands, blushing and feeling shy as she thought of Xu Qingfan's impressive "oral skills."

Xia Xiaoxiao initially thought she knew a lot just by sticking out her tongue, but she had no idea, absolutely no idea!

[That stinky dog must have secretly watched those bad videos!]

But it really wasn't Xu Qingfan's fault; in this life, he had never watched a single bad video; his knowledge came solely from his past life.

Even though it was his first real-world scenario, just a few simple movements combining lips, tongue, and teeth were enough to completely overwhelm Xia Xiaoxiao.

Xia Xiaoxiao fanned her face to cool her blushing cheeks, only getting up with the aid of the doorknob once the flush was less apparent.

Her gaze inadvertently glanced at where she sat just moments before, quickly exhaling a breath.

"Phew~"

[Good thing I wore my long johns today.]
