"Lingyu, the organization now entrusts this sacred and arduous task to you. You won’t let the organization down, will you?"
Wu Lingyu looked like an underground agent meeting, nervously looking around. After confirming no one was paying attention here, she anxiously grabbed the Happy Summer Vacation book from Xu Qingfan’s hand, "I got it. Don’t tell anyone else." The little girl answered quietly with her head down.
"Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know. Be careful while doing your homework. If Xiaoxiao finds out, we’ll be in trouble." Xu Qingfan rubbed Wu Lingyu’s head with a grin.
Wu Lingyu glanced up at him and quickly looked back down, "I will write it when no one is around..."
"Good luck. I’ve seen your final exam papers. Your foundation is still not solid, isn’t it?" Wu Lingyu got 100 in Chinese and 98 in Math in this semester’s final exam, ranking third in the entire grade. Xu Qingfan thus lectured her.
"Mm." The little girl humbly nodded and accepted his criticism.
"So, you see, I’m doing this for your good. Doing two Happy Summer Vacation books can fill in the gaps, uh... reinforce your weak areas!" Xu Qingfan held back his laughter and finished his words seriously.
Wu Lingyu showed a puzzled look on her face, staring at Xu Qingfan, making the scene suddenly quiet.
"Thank you. I will definitely complete it well!" The little girl nodded firmly, clutching Xu Qingfan’s Happy Summer Vacation book to her chest.
"Pfft... ahem, ahem, hmm, as long as you understand my good intentions. I’m really looking forward to seeing your name above mine on the honor roll next semester!"
Because Wu Lingyu’s initial ’W’ is ahead of Xu Qingfan’s ’X.’ When the scores are the same, the little girl’s name is ranked above his.
"I will work hard. Classmate Qing... Qingfan, thank you!" Wu Lingyu looked at him gratefully and nodded solemnly.
"Pfft~ Well," Xu Qingfan felt that if he didn’t run, he would burst out laughing. He patted the little girl’s head and then ran off immediately, "I need to do some Olympic math problems at home. Once I’m done, I’ll teach you. Bye!"
The breeze ruffled Wu Lingyu’s loose long hair as she watched Xu Qingfan’s back disappear, and the little girl smiled sweetly, still clutching the Happy Summer Vacation book tightly, thinking to herself.
[Classmate Qingfan is really a good person!]
When Xu Qingfan ran back to his own courtyard, he kicked a stone, unable to hold back his laughter, the stone hitting Big Yellow on the head, causing the dog to bark.
"What are you barking at? Bark again, and I’ll eat dog meat!" Xu Qingfan picked up a stick to scare Big Yellow. The dog, seeing him coming, immediately got up and ran away.
Standing on the corridor at her house door, Xia Xiaoxiao saw the scene below, unconsciously smiling.
"Idiot!" she muttered quietly to herself.
When Xu Qingfan walked up to the third floor, Xia Xiaoxiao had already returned to the living room. He sat beside the little girl carelessly, "Your dad isn’t back yet?"
The little girl continued changing the TV channels, ignoring Xu Qingfan.
"The crayfish business is no longer profitable, so why does he still go out so often?" He continued talking to himself, "Didn’t Auntie talk to him? He’s out every other day."
"Xu Qingfan, are you annoying?" Xia Xiaoxiao couldn’t take it anymore, turned off the TV, and threw the remote at his chest, then got up and walked to her room.
"Hey! What are you mad about?" Xu Qingfan stood up and followed her.
Xia Xiaoxiao turned back to glare at him but didn’t lock her room door.
Originally, Xia Guofu had agreed to come back this weekend, but he called yesterday and said he couldn’t make it. Xu Qingfan happened to ask at the wrong time and kept asking, so how could Xia Xiaoxiao not be angry?
"Okay, okay, don’t be mad. I won’t ask anymore, won’t ask anymore. Let’s play house. I’ll be the dad, and you’ll be the daughter. How about that?"
"Cough~" Xia Xiaoxiao sat on her bed, tilting her head to glare at him. She couldn’t help but laugh in anger at Xu Qingfan’s words.
"Xu Qingfan, have you no shame? I’ll be the mom, and you be the son. Then I’ll play!" Xia Xiaoxiao put on a stern face and glared at him with her hands on her hips.
"Wishful thinking, you aren’t even taller than me, and you want to be my mom!" He stepped forward and pulled Xia Xiaoxiao up from the bed, then comfortably lay down himself.
"Get off!" The little girl pushed him off the bed in disgust.
"Why push me? Okay, if he doesn’t come back, so be it. I even wish my dad would go far away, he’s always nagging at home."
"I’ll tell Uncle Xu later!" Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him with a ’you are doomed’ expression.
"You’re asking for a beating!" Xu Qingfan got up and tackled Xia Xiaoxiao onto the bed.
"Stupid Xu Qingfan, let go of me!"
"Do you know you were wrong?" He took off his slipper and pressed Xia Xiaoxiao down, slapping her butt hard.
"I’m not wrong! I’ll still tell Uncle Xu you hit me!!" The little girl stubbornly retorted.
"I think you’re just asking for another beating!" Xu Qingfan lifted his hand, ready to slap Xia Xiaoxiao’s butt again, but the little girl was prepared this time. Taking advantage of his single-handed grip, she turned to face him, pressing Xu Qingfan beneath her.
"Say, who was wrong?" The little girl glared at him fiercely but cutely, gripping his arms.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. Can you spare me now?" Xu Qingfan struggled but couldn’t shake free, so he quickly begged for mercy.
"Who’s the mom?" Xia Xiaoxiao’s face lit up with a victorious smile, she asked with a laugh.
"Now you’ve gone too far!" Xu Qingfan’s body strained, but alas, girls often had more strength at a young age, making it impossible for him to break free.
"Call me mom quickly, or... or I’ll bite you!" Xia Xiaoxiao opened her mouth wide, pretending to bite.
"Bring your ear close, I’ll whisper it to you."
"Hmph, I bet you wouldn’t play tricks!" Xia Xiaoxiao indeed moved closer, putting her ear to his lips.
Xu Qingfan gently blew into her ear, making Xia Xiaoxiao shiver from the stimulation. He smoothly turned the tables, pressing the little girl beneath him again, "Naughty daughter, daring to ride on daddy’s head, looking for a spanking!"
He quickly smacked Xia Xiaoxiao’s butt a few times and ran out of the room without even bothering to wear his slippers.
"Xu Qingfan!!!" Xia Xiaoxiao picked up his slipper from the floor and threw it at his back, but missed.
How could she not know that Xu Qingfan was actually trying to comfort her, although his methods were still as clumsy as ever?
"So annoying!" The little girl covered her stinging butt, speaking with a shy and annoyed expression.
"I want to use the left keyboard!"
"You can have it." Xu Qingfan gave up his seat, letting her sit on the left side.
"Hmph, I’ll explode you!" Xia Xiaoxiao controlled the purple bomb man Lanlan, angrily placing bombs.
The computer screen was filled with the desert map of Bubble Bobble, with exotic music playing from the speakers and the constant sound of bomb explosions ringing out.
"I’ll explode you, I’ll explode you!" Riding an owl mount, Xia Xiaoxiao recklessly charged at Xu Qingfan.
"Hey, hey, hey~ You can’t play , you’re committing suicide!" Seeing his character turn into a bubble, Xu Qingfan pouted.
"Lousy dog!" Xia Xiaoxiao drew a pig on Xu Qingfan’s arm with a pen, looking pleased with herself.
"Can you stop drawing on my face..."
"Losers pay the price, unless you call me mom!"
"Draw if you want, let’s go again!"
