Ten o'clock at night.
One after another, the five girls finished their showers and returned to Xu Qingfan's room.
Since it was a mid-way decision, Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, and Xiao Ruawen didn't prepare overnight clothes in advance and naturally ended up wearing the pajamas of Xia Xiaoxiao and Wu Lingyu.
Fortunately, Xiao Ruawen and Xia Xiaoxiao were of similar height, and Yu, standing at one meter sixty-eight, mostly bought clothes in one size fits all, which happened to fit Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi just right.
Clothes could be borrowed to wear, but clearly, fabric in other places was not meant to be shared.
"Gaga... *cough* let's go to sleep after we finish this round."
Xu Qingfan swallowed spit, feeling that his breathing was somewhat constricted.
They were playing the simplest version of the word association game, taking turns to say a word starting with "GG".
"What gaga? There's no such word!" Xia Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.
"Exactly, Brother Fan, don't try to change the subject!"
Xiao Ruawen, completely unaware of her own allure at the moment, extended her arms as if to throttle his neck.
Xu Qingfan forced himself not to look at her chest, but the faint outline of those two little bumps was really hard to ignore.
"How can there not be... the gaga from 'gaga randomly killing', how is that not a word!" He swatted away Xiao Ruawen's hands, daring only to glare angrily at Xia Xiaoxiao.
"Oh~ so Brother Qing Fan is this gaga duck, then it's my turn, hee hee giggles, the giggling giggles!" Lin Wanning pressed pause on the timer, raising her hand as she spoke.
It was Wu Lingyu's turn, she already had an answer ready, and immediately delivered a killer response, "How old are you? The 'how old' for asking one's age."
"Other country, the 'country' belonging to other countries," Zhang Yiyi followed Yu's train of thought, coming up with another answer.
It was her turn again so quickly, Xiao Ruawen was instantly bewildered; she had been focused solely on correcting Xu Qingfan and hadn't thought about her next word at all.
"Ah... why is it my turn so soon, don't rush, let me think!" She scratched her head in dismay, with only thirty seconds left, where could she quickly come up with a word?
The pajamas were already loose, and with her hands on her head , Xu Qingfan felt he suddenly had a panoramic view of majestic mountain scenery.
Zhang Yiyi pursed her lips, just watching Xu Qingfan, curious to see how long it would take for Stinky Brother to realize she was watching him.
Time ticked by, and with only the last ten seconds left on the countdown, each second began to sound with an urgent ticking.
Xiao Ruawen suddenly clapped her hands excitedly, coming up with a word nobody had ever heard of before.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Xiao Ruawen justified herself confidently, "Expensive steel, as in the steel of steel, this steel is expensive, so it's called expensive steel!"
Xu Qingfan's mouth twitched, and he could justifiably sneak a glance at her, "Why don't you say 'expensive liver,' your liver is really expensive!"
Xiao Ruawen, with an incredulous look, straightened up and retorted, "Brother Fan, how dare you criticize me, when your 'gaga' is acceptable, why isn't my 'expensive steel'!"
Xu Qingfan was at a loss for words, not because he had nothing to say, but because she had ample bosom!
"Hmm~ no comeback, huh!" Xiao Ruawen saw him go silent and triumphantly stood with hands on hips, chest out.
Quickly, Xiao Ruawen noticed something was amiss and followed Xu Qingfan's gaze downward.
Her pretty face turned red instantly.
[Brother Chou Fan is peeking again!]
But worried about Xia Xiaoxiao noticing something odd, she just quietly sat back down, slouched a little, not giving Xu Qingfan another chance to take advantage.
Only Zhang Yiyi's eyes moved back and forth, always keeping an eye on the two.
She felt slightly wronged, although she wasn't wearing anything herself, Stinky Brother hadn't given her a single glance!
[Big liar brother, he even said last time that mine are also...]
At the thought, her face shifted to an expression of shy embarrassment.
Noticing Xu Qingfan looking at her, Zhang Yiyi scrunched her nose and gave him a small glare.
The jerk must have thought Zhang Yiyi saw everything he had just done, hence the glare at him.
But in reality, it was indeed Xu Qingfan who awkwardly shifted his gaze away.
"Control, as in manage or control," the game continued, and it was Xia Xiaoxiao's turn next, the girl providing an answer that was beyond dispute.
Then it was Xu Qingfan's turn, "Expensive turtle, the 'turtle' of a turtle, meaning this turtle is very expensive."
He shamelessly continued, and after saying it, he even dared to make a face at Xiao Ruawen proudly.
Though it was a bit of a cheat, it was still reasonably explained, so the game continued.
"Expensive port, the 'port' of a harbor!" It was Lin Wanning's turn, and she didn't make things up like the other two.
"I know, Expensive Port is a place name!" Xiao Ruawen slapped her head, annoyed that she hadn't thought of that word just now.
Lin Wanning smiled sweetly, revealing two cute dimples.
"Melons and fruit, the 'melons and fruit' of vegetables and fruits." It was Zhang Yiyi's turn again, and she used up the word she had originally planned to say last round.
"Yiyi is amazing!" Xu Qingfan gave her a thumbs-up, which was partially meant to gloss over the recent mishap.
Zhang Yiyi smiled back as well, her cheerful innocence like that of an angel.
"Lonely and widowed, the 'lonely and widowed' of elderly without support." Wu Lingyu followed up.
"Ah~ how did it come to me so quickly again!" Xiao Ruawen was about to scratch her ears and cheeks but met Xu Qingfan's gaze and ended up lowering her half-raised hand again.
"GG... GG... Congo, 'Congo' as in the country!" At the critical moment, Lin Wanning's mention of a place name provided her with an idea.
Xiao Ruawen smugly glared at Xu Qingfan, her expression saying: Let's see what you come up with for the next round!
"Guang Gong, as in Guangzhou University of Technology." Xia Xiaoxiao finished speaking albeit somewhat embarrassedly, because it clearly wasn't a word.
