I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 433. Will they be happy?

After walking along the long-awaited Love Avenue, the sun began to set.

Xu Qingfan walked in the direction he came from, with Wu Lingyu tugging at his clothes from behind. The two occasionally looked up at the sky or exchanged glances, their steps leisurely and cheerful.

However, this happy little path could only be walked by the two of them in places where no one else was around.

During his period of reflection, Xu Qingfan felt a renewed sense of guilt.

"Where else would Xiaoyu like to go?"

Wu Lingyu looked up at him and smiled: "It's six o'clock, let's go eat first."

"After dinner, we'll buy two popsicles to cool off, but unfortunately, they don't sell Green Tongue popsicles at school." Xu Qingfan still remembers that Xiaoyu's favorite popsicle was Green Tongue.

"Ok!"

[After dinner, I sat on the steps with Fan Ge, eating ice cream and enjoying the evening breeze!]
Wu Lingyu really liked this ending!

After getting their food, the two sat down at the cute senior student spawn point in the second cafeteria, but unfortunately the cooldown hadn't ended yet and no senior student spawned.

When the two of them get their food, they pack the dishes and rice separately, so each person gets three dishes, and together they can have six dishes.

Seeing the natural smile on Wu Lingyu's face, Xu Qingfan also smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Although he was a complete scumbag, at least he was responsible and brought happiness to Xiaoyu.

The meal didn't take long; before 6:30, the two had already bought ice cream and were sitting idly in the laboratory building.

In the evening, the laboratory building is mostly frequented by students who have just finished their club activities, while some come to enjoy the evening breeze and seek peace of mind.

After climbing to the fifth floor, the two sat side by side on the steps, with a red sun immersed in an orange sea on the horizon.

Xu Qingfan opened the packaging and put a chilled bayberry in his mouth.

Wu Lingyu was holding colorful little ice cream cones, shaped like mushroom umbrellas, with a small wooden stick at the bottom to hold them in place.

She had an ice cream in her mouth and rested her head on the boy's shoulder.

A gentle evening breeze swept by, and a few strands of hair danced in the wind.

Wu Lingyu stared blankly at the horizon, wishing time could stand still at this moment.

“Xiaoyu,” Xu Qingfan suddenly spoke.

"Hmm." Wu Lingyu squinted and pretended to sleep.

"I think I've gone a bit too far lately. Every time I'm with you, I can't help but think about those things." The scoundrel deeply regretted his behavior just now.

Wu Lingyu pouted slightly, thinking to herself: You actually know that!

"Don't do this at school again, Fan-ge." She wasn't actually against it, as long as it wasn't in public.

Of course, it would be even better if Xu Qingfan could spend his limited time with her like he is now.

Xu Qingfan's eyes lit up: "Then does that mean it's okay if I'm not at school?"

Wu Lingyu's expression showed a hint of embarrassment and annoyance: "Nowhere else will do!"

"Can't we even be at home when it's just the two of us?" Xu Qingfan asked, leaning close to her ear.

"Brother Fan, you're ignoring me~"

After all, it was Xiaoyu who couldn't bear to say anything unpleasant.

Xu Qingfan knew when to stop, and put his arm around her shoulder, promising, "I promise, I will never do that again in public, unless..."

"Hmm?" Wu Lingyu raised her head in confusion.

"Unless it's something Xiaoyu wants." Xu Qingfan lowered his voice and chuckled mischievously.

"Ugh~ Fan-ge, you're so annoying!" Wu Lingyu finally couldn't take it anymore and punched his chest with her little fists.

After a long while, the girl blushed again and rested her head on his shoulder.

Xu Qingfan's phone rang a few times in his pocket. He took it out to check and saw it was Xiao Ruanwen asking where he'd been gallivanting and why he hadn't returned to class yet. Xu Qingfan thought for a moment, but ultimately didn't reply.

Wu Lingyu also saw the content above and asked somewhat guiltily, "Brother Fan, are we going back?"

It was just past 7 p.m., and there was still half an hour before the first evening self-study session, so there was really no need to go back so early.

But for some reason, after seeing Xiao Ruanwen's urging message, Wu Lingyu felt a sudden, inexplicable panic, and the faint sense of happiness she had felt earlier disappeared.

Xu Qingfan is similar. It's not hard to be a scumbag; the hard part is getting over your own conscience.

He wasn't a hypocrite. If the roles were reversed, and Xia Xiaoxiao or Lin Wanning were the ones secretly dating five boyfriends behind his back, Xu Qingfan would absolutely go crazy.

Like many playboys, they boast about having slept with hundreds or thousands of women, but when asked to marry a wife who has been with thousands or tens of thousands of men, they hypocritically say, "I must be crazy to marry a wife like that!"

They even have the audacity to say: Don't let down good girls, and don't waste bad girls!
There's no such thing as a free lunch! Animals should be locked up together!

Xu Qingfan has always held this view, and even though the boomerang has hit him, he still holds this view, which is why he's feeling emo.

“Let’s go back then, and come here to enjoy the breeze again next time,” Xu Qingfan said, looking into her eyes.

"Okay." Wu Lingyu nodded, then stood up and grabbed his clothes again.

The two walked quietly back to the teaching building, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in their ears.

The scoundrel's guilt wasn't incurable, as long as the five girls immediately declared, "We don't mind, we want to be with him!"

It can cure diseases instantly when stored properly.

He suddenly asked, "Xiaoyu, do you think I'm greedy?"

Wu Lingyu stopped abruptly, and after feeling the resistance from the clothes, Xu Qingfan also stopped.

She looked into Xu Qingfan's eyes, wanting to blurt out "I don't think so," but another voice in her heart made her open her mouth slightly, hesitant to speak.

Xu Qingfan's heart skipped a beat. He was really afraid of hearing Xiaoyu say "I feel," because then he would no longer be able to deceive himself.

If that's the case, why ask at all?
A typical man's mentality is roughly like this: he wants it, but he also feels guilty.

He said these meaningless things only to hear words of comfort from Wu Lingyu, hoping to alleviate his guilt.

He may never have thought of it that way, but in people's subconscious, they are always trying to find reasons and excuses for themselves.

"I...I don't want to leave Brother Fan." Wu Lingyu took two steps forward and opened her arms to hug him.

Xu Qingfan sighed and gently stroked her hair: "I'm sorry."

Why does he only dare to ask Xiaoyu this kind of question? Besides the fact that only Wu Lingyu knows the reason for all his crazy actions, is it also because he subconsciously thinks that Xiaoyu is easy to talk to, so he just takes advantage of her?
That scoundrel only cared about himself from beginning to end, never once considering whether Wu Lingyu felt any guilt.
What girl in the world would willingly share the same man with another woman? Would she willingly become a mistress?
Besides, she's not just number three, she's practically number five!
Wu Lingyu closed her eyes, trying not to let her tears fall.

She really didn't understand why Fan Ge was saying all this. Wouldn't it have been better to just be happy like before? Now he's made it impossible for her to be happy at all.

"Brother Fan, please don't ask me anymore. Waaah, I don't know." Wu Lingyu's voice was trembling with tears.

Wu Lingyu's feelings for Fan Ge are genuine, but her affection for the four girls is also real. So she really can't answer this question, otherwise she'll just live with guilt forever.

Xu Qingfan hadn't thought that much about it before, but when Xiaoyu cried, he immediately realized that if Wu Lingyu answered that she didn't mind, how would she face Xiaoxiao Wanning and the others in the future?
[You only ever think of yourself, Xu Qingfan, are you even human?]
"Snapped!"

"Waaaaah~ Brother Fan?" Wu Lingyu was startled by Xu Qingfan's sudden self-harm, her tearful eyes showing a look of astonishment.

"Xiaoyu, I know I was wrong. I promise that no matter what the future holds, I will never let you feel guilty."

"I won't take advantage of your feelings for me to manipulate you."

He held the girl's delicate body tightly in his arms.

"Brother Fan, it's enough that you like Xiaoyu." The girl's tears flowed like a kite with a broken string.

Xu Qingfan felt a chill run down his spine: "I will always love Xiaoyu, forever and ever!"

Wu Lingyu's delicate body trembled: "Mmm!"

Neither of them spoke again, and the last rays of the setting sun cast long shadows of each other.
