Five girls now had big question marks above their heads. After exchanging glances, they all turned their eyes towards Xu Qingfan.
But the young man had already fallen back asleep, seemingly impossible to question about the cause. Therefore, the four girls once again uniformly set their gaze on Xia Xiaoxiao, wanting to hear her explanation.
Xia Xiaoxiao really wanted to hit someone, to wake up this stinky dog!
Listening to what was being said, it wouldn’t be good if Xiaoxiao heard. What does it mean, it wouldn’t be good if she heard? Was Xia Xiaoxiao some kind of jinx? Were these even human words?
[They bully me in reality, and now in my dreams, too!]
[And seeing Ruan Wen on his own bed first thing in the morning, shouldn’t he be shocked? Why does he look so accustomed to it!]
The atmosphere in the room grew slightly eerie because the person involved, Xia Xiaoxiao, didn’t speak, so the four girls also tacitly remained silent.
Thinking this, she couldn’t help but glance doubtfully at Xiao Ruawen, but she quickly averted her gaze.
[Ruan Wen wouldn’t... this damn dead dog!]
Xia Xiaoxiao bit her teeth in silence; she was quite curious to see how Xu Qingfan would react when he woke up and saw her.
"Wake him up!" The girl commanded, then kicked off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, stepped over Xiao Ruawen and Wu Lingyu, and sat on Xu Qingfan’s body.
Lin Wanning, not wanting to be outdone, squeezed past Zhang Yiyi and also lay down, resting on her arms to observe Brother Qingfan.
"Brother Fan, wake up~" Xiao Ruawen began by blowing in his ear.
"Brother Qing Fan, the sun is shining on your bum~" Immediately after, Lin Wanning whispered into his other ear.
"Big lazy pig, Brother."
The chirping and twittering of the three girls sent shivers down Xu Qingfan, who had just started light sleep after waking up shortly before.
"Brother Qing Fan, get up~"
"Brother, time to wake up~"
Their seductive voices swirled around his ears, the lingering sound was enchanting, and Xu Qingfan had a hard time distinguishing dreams from reality.
Half-asleep, he opened his eyes, only vaguely seeing a girl sitting on him.
Due to the remnants of his previous dream, Xu Qingfan subconsciously thought it was Lin Wanning who was on top of him, and as he spoke, he shocked everyone again, "Wanning, get off, Xiao Xiao is about to wake up."
"Open your eyes and see who I am!" Xia Xiaoxiao, no longer able to restrain herself, broke out.
"Damn~ Xia Xiaoxiao!"
At the same time as Xu Qingfan was in a state of panic and astonishment, the four girls popped their heads out from under the covers and unanimously blessed him:
"Damn!" Xu Qingfan cursed with another quintessential phrase, thankfully pinned down by Xia Xiaoxiao this time, unable to spring up and throw another big, sudden punch.
Xia Xiaoxiao pulled out a ribbon shooter she had prepared from her pocket; like a smart and brave female spy in a thriller, she aimed at his face and fired.
The next second, a "pop~" sounded in the bedroom, and countless colorful ribbons fell like a shower of flowers onto Xu Qingfan’s face.
"Dummy!" Xia Xiaoxiao leaned down to brush the streamers off Xu Qingfan’s face and kissed his cheek in front of everyone in the room, "Happy birthday." She whispered softly.
Xu Qingfan’s mind was still filled with Xia Xiaoxiao’s whisper, the next instant, Lin Wanning moved her head closer and kissed the same spot the other girl had just kissed.
"Happy birthday, Brother Qing Fan!"
"Brother, happy birthday!"
"Brother Fan, happy birthday!"
"Fan... Brother Fan, happy... birthday."
The four girls took turns approaching him and planted kisses on his left and right cheeks. Xu Qingfan felt like he must still be dreaming, because such science fiction scenes shouldn’t occur in reality.
Waking up early in the morning to find five youthful and unbeatable beauties crawling out of your bed, then each of them kissing your cheek to wish you a happy birthday, if that’s not a sci-fi flick, what is?
"Brother Qing Fan, today’s your birthday, don’t you remember?" Seeing Xu Qingfan staring blankly at them, Lin Wanning pinched his nose and laughed.
A moment later, the dizziness from the lack of oxygen brought his consciousness back to reality.
"Hmm~ Today is my birthday?" Xu Qingfan asked in a sleepy voice after Lin Wanning withdrew her hand.
"Of course!" The five voices chimed in unison.
Someone couldn’t hold back and chuckled first, and the laughter spread magically to the others.
Thus, within Xu Qingfan’s bedroom that morning, a scene straight out of a cherry blossom anime unfolded.
The five beautiful girls lay on his tiny, rickety wooden bed, laughing their heads off, their laughter more melodious and pleasant than any song he had ever heard.
Xu Qingfan rubbed his temples and tried to recall properly – today was indeed the 29th, the day of his showdown with Balagui, and his actual birthday.
After a while, the five girls stopped laughing, sprawled all over Xu Qingfan’s bed in various poses, still with a hint of smiles on their faces.
"Brother Fan, why did you just say not to let Xiao Xiao hear?" Xiao Ruawen finally remembered that piece of business and asked.
The others were curious about this question too and propped themselves up to look at Xu Qingfan.
"Uh... Hiss..." Xu Qingfan was suddenly at a loss for words. Was he supposed to honestly say that he dreamt about sleeping in the same big bed with four girls, but kept it a secret from Xia Xiaoxiao?
If he said that, not only would Xia Xiaoxiao want to cut him, but Ruan Wen, Yiyi, Wanning, and Yu would also look at him with strange eyes, right?
"Yeah, and Brother Qing Fan, what did you just say about telling me to come down quickly, Xiao Xiao is about to wake up, what exactly did you mean?" Lin Wanning wasn’t the warm little quilt anymore; even she was piling on.
Xu Qingfan shook his head, "Don’t know, don’t know, did I say those things? Can’t remember after waking up."
Having said that, he then attempted to get up and flee the scene. It was a sin; how could he, such an innocent young man, have such an absurd dream!
The next instant, the bedroom erupted with the girls’ screams.
"Ah~ Brother Fan, why aren’t you wearing pants!" Xiao Ruawen reflexively closed her eyes tight, then the next second, she stealthily opened a small sliver to peek.
"Xu Qingfan, you exhibitionist!" Xia Xiaoxiao, who had seen it all, stared unflinchingly at his red underwear.
"Brother Qing Fan, that area..." Lin Wanning shyly covered her face with her hands, but the gaps between her fingers were nearly as wide as the East African Rift Valley.
"Brother, you..." Zhang Yiyi finally understood what the sharp object was from before.
"Brother Fan, I’ll get you some pants." Only Yu, the sweetest, immediately thought to go to the wardrobe to find him pants.
Xu Qingfan fled amidst the girls’ screams, what was wrong with sleeping in just underwear in his own room!
"Hahaha!" After the red underwear had completely vanished from the room, the five girls burst into laughter again.
Soon, roars of anger could be heard from the bathroom:
"Who painted my face , damn it!"
