The girl's small hand hidden under the blanket clenched secretly as she said, "But... but I don't want to stay in the dorm."
Before Xu Qingfan could speak, she quickly added, "When I was in elentary school, my roommates would isolate , and every ti it was my turn to be on duty, they would create a lot of garbage in the trash bin, and I had to go back and forth several tis to take it out."
"Brother Fan... can we not stay in the dorm, please?"
Feeling the girl's body trembling, Xu Qingfan hugged her tightly, "What happened... Never mind, it's all in the past, Yu doesn't want to stay in the dorm, then we won't stay."
"Really?" Wu Lingyu's eyes were hopeful, as if she was afraid Brother Fan might change his mind, not daring to blink even once.
"What do you an 'really'? Of course, it's true. If Yu isn't comfortable staying in the school dormitory, then we won't stay," Xu Qingfan said indulgently as he pushed the girl's head gently, and Wu Lingyu leaned on his shoulder.
"If we don't stay in the dorm, then it doesn't matter whether we are in the sa class or not," Wu Lingyu was easily satisfied as long as she could wish Brother Fan good morning and good night every day.
[But if I could be in the sa class as Brother Fan, that would be even better...]
"OKOK, then it's settled, Yu, you need to back up at lunchti!" Xu Qingfan grabbed Yu's palm and high-fived his own right hand.
Wu Lingyu was bewildered at that mont.
[What's settled? And what's this about backing up?]
"Uh... Huh?"
Seeing the girl's clueless expression, Xu Qingfan slapped his forehead and then explained, "During lunch, Aunt Zhang will bring up the matter of high school class divisions, and I will pick up the conversation and say, we have already agreed, it's fine to assign classes randomly in high school, then Yu, you add on, yes, we agreed, random class assignnts in high school."
Seeing that Yu was still spacing out, Xu Qingfan waved his hand in front of her eyes: "Do you understand?"
"Uh... yeah," Wu Lingyu hesitated repeatedly, but eventually nodded her head with difficulty.
Although it felt wrong to betray a good girlfriend, she was even less willing to betray Brother Fan.
[Brother Fan and I agreed, we are also part of it, that's not lying!]
"Then that's what we'll say, be alert at lunchti, Yu," Xu Qingfan's mood improved significantly now that he had sorted out things with Wu Lingyu.
The only snag was the issue of staying in the dorm; his original plan was for everyone in high school to stay in the dorm, but he hadn't expected Yu to suffer from a dorm PTSD.
Even though high school roommates might not be like those in elentary school, they might also be the sa, and since there were alternatives, why not eliminate the possibility from the root.
Moreover, Xu Qingfan had thought it through, as long as everyone ate in the school cafeteria and stayed for study halls in the classroom in high school, even if they lived together, their contact ti each day would not be much.
With plenty of opportunities to expand their own new circles afterward, the girls should not concentrate their entire lives around him anymore.
"I understand," Wu Lingyu nodded her head, feeling a slight tinge of disappointnt.
[I thought Brother Fan was going to kiss ...]
Ever since the day of the King ga, she had dread many tis of kissing Xu Qingfan, in her own boudoir, but he was never her!
There were Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, Xiao Ruawen, and even Xia Xiaoxiao; she had even dread about Aunt Zhang once, but never herself!
After more than half a year of tornt, Wu Lingyu was almost going mad with the desire to kiss, why had Brother Fan kissed everyone else but not her!
Xu Qingfan had no idea about Yu's inner drama; after explaining everything he needed to, he let go of the girl's shoulders.
"Alright, Yu is the best behaved, I'll go make breakfast for you, you brush your teeth and wash up," he patted the girl on the head and slipped back into his slippers before leaving the bedroom.
The room door was opened and then closed again.
Watching Brother Fan's retreating figure, Wu Lingyu felt a little pout forming.
Wanning even gets a good morning kiss, Brother Fan doesn't even kiss ... Brother Fan?
Suddenly, the room door was pushed open again, and Xu Qingfan poking his head inside startled Wu Lingyu.
"Stead buns or noodles, what would Yu like for breakfast?" Xu Qingfan asked with a smile.
"Noodles... noodles will be fine, thank you Brother Fan."
"Got it."
After the door was closed again, Wu Lingyu finally let out a slow breath.
"Phew~ thankfully Brother Fan didn't hear."
Looking at the pink walls she had specially painted for her and the pink princess mosquito net, Wu Lingyu's mood instantly brightened, and she smiled happily:
"This is lovely."
...
By nine in the morning, guests started arriving at the house.
The first to arrive were three young girls. Except for Xiao Ruawen's father, who indeed didn't have ti, all the other adults ca.
Knowing that Wu Lingyu and Xia Xiaoxiao had their rooms here, Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi were visibly jealous.
Zhang Yiyi hid it rather well, but Lin Wanning genuinely pouted so much she could hang clothes on her lips.
Fortunately, Yao Jiping seed clueless, but she was actually a master at maintaining calm, pointing to the empty bedrooms and saying, "I didn't know what decorating style you'd like, so I didn't arrange it beforehand."
Lin Wanning clearly took her at her word, visibly delighted, and said complintarily, "Auntie, I like however you've arranged it!"
Speaking of which, it was true. Not counting the teahouse on the first floor, there were a total of seven rooms in the house. It wasn't clear whether Yao Jiping designed it on purpose or by accident.
After touring the new ho, the five girls and their mothers headed to the kitchen to prepare lunch, while Xu Qingfan was tasked in the tea room to serve tea and water to the relatives and friends.
More and more relatives arrived, all from Yao Jiping's side. From Cong City, relatives called but said they couldn't match the status and wouldn't join the bustling gathering.
Xu Qingfan naturally preferred they didn't co, as it would only result in mutual dislike.
Watching his grandfather still vigorous and chatting animatedly with people, and his uncle letting his two-year-old cousin ride on his neck, Xu Qingfan felt a satisfaction indescribable to others.
Feeling exceptionally good, he took out his treasured Dahongpao tea from Mount Wuyi.
"Eh~ this tea is not bad. Xiao Fan, where did you buy it?" Lin Qiaoshan too was a tea lover. The tea was smooth to the taste and fragrant after each sip, truly a fine tea.
"From the mother tree in Mount Wuyi. Aunt Zhang gave a little. I usually can't bear to drink it." Xu Qingfan poured him another cup.
The mother tree had stopped being harvested in 2006. If any authentic tea remained in the market, the current market price started at least at a hundred thousand.
"Haha, then I must drink a few more cups!" Lin Qiaoshan clearly knew the market well, and his look at Xu Qingfan softened significantly.
[Seeing how filial you are, I won't hold it against you for eloping with my daughter.]
"What mother tree, son tree, I think it's not as good as Yue Tea." Yao Jianjun sipped lightly without tasting anything fancy.
Yue Tea was a healthy tea beverage series launched later by the Haowei Group, particularly popular among seniors, especially those in the fishing community.
"Uncle, you shouldn't drink this. I'll get you a bottle of Yue Tea from the fridge." Xu Qingfan pretended to dislike the tea and moved the teapot a bit farther away.
"Hahaha..." There was an uproar of laughter in the tea room.
...
anwhile.
Wu Lingyu was sowhat distracted today, handing over sugar when asked for salt, and pouring dark soy sauce when asked to add light soy sauce.
"Did you not sleep well last night, why do you look so listless?" Yao Jiping dried her hands and touched her head, concerned.
"No... um, a little." With all her best friends present, Wu Lingyu couldn't tell the real reason, so she just went along with what her aunt said.
"Then Yu, why don't you rest outside for a bit, and we'll help Auntie!" Lin Wanning jumped up and hugged her arm.
Wu Lingyu's guilty gaze darted away. The person she least dared to face was Wanning because Wanning always spoke about studying in the sa class in high school, but she had secretly backstabbed with Brother Fan.
"Alright."
Yu's face was all smiles, but her thoughts were:
[Wanning, I'm sorry; I can't disobey Brother Fan's words.]
