Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts
Chapter 772 520: Beware of Being a Scumbag

After everyone filled their stomachs, there was still an hour before the New Year's Eve party started.

Xia Xiaoxiao and her classmates who were performing had already changed into fringed dresses, with skirts fluttering, showcasing their svelte beauty in every move.

"Here's another bag of warm babies; it's especially cold tonight. Who else needs some?" Xu Qingfan took another bag of warm babies from the cabinet and placed them on the table after opening the package.

"Thanks, Brother Fan."

"Alright, I still need some."

After the initial interaction, Xia Xiaoxiao's classmates were no longer overly formal and continued to generously stick warm babies on themselves.

When the sun completely set, the outdoor temperature kept dropping and was only five degrees.

Xu Qingfan turned off the living room heater, opened the door to feel the weather outside, and a gust of cold wind hit him, making him shiver.

"Whew~ It must be only four or five degrees; this winter is a bit cold." He blew on his hands and rubbed them together before closing the door again.

"It's not too bad; with so many warm babies, even four or five degrees below zero is bearable." Classmate A opened their coat, with the lining densely covered with warm babies like life-saving armor in a historical drama.

"Sorry, Brother Fan, we used up your warm babies again." Liu Yue glanced at that classmate, feeling a bit embarrassed by their extravagance.

(Extravagance: a Cantonese term meaning having a lot, also referring to someone being generous or lavish.)

"It's fine, it's fine, just don't catch a cold. I'll get some more." Xu Qingfan said casually.

"That's enough, Brother Fan, no need to get more; they won't fit on our bodies anymore." Liu Yue waved his hand repeatedly.

"Qingfan, come here!" Lin Wanning sat in a wheelchair calling him over, "Squat down."

After Xu Qingfan obediently squatted down, she took the scarf from her lap and wrapped it around his neck.

"Thanks, Wanning." Xu Qingfan smiled at her, stood up, and patted the girl's head.

In the living room, everyone changed into their outfits; besides those who did their styling, Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, and Wu Lingyu were fully wrapped up.

They wore cute animal hats on their heads, wool scarves around their necks, oversized warm down jackets, and wool cat socks on their feet; they could even brave Ningguta without a problem.

Xiao Ruawen held up a selfie stick excitedly, searching for angles to take photos, and those in the frame would smile or make peace signs in cooperation. Even before the official performance began, a light layer of sweat formed on her forehead.

The Japanese JK uniform naturally accentuated her figure, and as she kept running around, the short skirt hovering above her thighs would occasionally flutter, quite teasingly.

"Everybody look at the camera, let's take a group photo before we set off." Xiao Ruawen called to the people in the room after stretching out the selfie stick at the door.

"Coming, coming!"

"I want to stick close to the beautiful girls!"

Xia Xiaoxiao's classmates were the most enthusiastic, rushing to pose within the camera's range first.

Xu Qingfan pushed Lin Wanning closer, and before he could speak, Xiao Ruawen said, "Wanning, you're blocking the camera, Brother Fan, why don't you lift Wanning up."

"Wow!"

"Boyfriend power!"

Everything was captured on camera, and when Xu Qingfan picked up Lin Wanning by the waist, Xia Xiaoxiao's classmates started to cheer immediately.

Lin Wanning said nothing, just tilted her head and leaned it against Brother Fan's head.

Xiao Ruawen continued taking photos by clicking the shutter more than ten times, and even after Xu Qingfan placed Lin Wanning back in her wheelchair, she hadn't stopped snapping.

After putting on his shoes, Xu Qingfan helped Lin Wanning put on her shoes, pushed the wheelchair to the yard, and waited for them.

"Guess who I am?" Zhang Yiyi sprinted over behind him, covered his eyes with her hands.

Even though the girl's voice was somewhat disguised, Xu Qingfan could easily identify it as Zhang Yiyi's voice.

"Don't mess around, Xiao Bai." Xiao Bai didn't cause any trouble, though he did poke his head out.

The dog, wintering in its house, waited for a moment, and seeing no one calling for it again, withdrew its head into its body.

"Oh, you're annoying~" Zhang Yiyi playfully attempted to hit him, feigning anger, but her hand was caught by Xu Qingfan.

"Cold?" He blew warm air onto the girl's hands and then put them in his pocket.

"Brother Fan, I want some too!" Lin Wanning, watching them play, extended her hand as well upon seeing Brother Fan warm up Zhang Yiyi's hands.

"Okay." Xu Qingfan held Lin Wanning's hand, fitting one hand in each pocket.

The bystanders exiting the living room, having put on their shoes, noticed this scene.

Xia Xiaoxiao's classmates looked at each other, increasingly uncertain about their relationships.

"Why are you blocking the door, let's go." Xiao Ruawen was the last to come out and noticed everyone still blocking the way.

"Oh, oh, oh..." The four of them snapped back to reality, nodding foolishly as they stepped off the porch.

Xu Qingfan released the hands he was holding, turned to look at them, saw that everyone was well bundled, and then said, "Cell phones, meal cards, keys, everyone check if you've got everything."

"Got everything."

"I have everything too."

They all came with backpacks, enjoying a cozy shower here, and their dirty clothes were now stored in the backpacks.

"Haha, let's go quickly, let's set off!" Xiao Ruawen jumped up and tapped his head, then boisterously ran out of the yard.

Xu Qingfan shot her a look: I'll deal with you when we get back tonight.

Xiao Ruawen stuck out her tongue; perhaps about to perform on stage, she was overly excited, and so she displayed a lot of small movements.
