Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts

If you asked Zhang Yiyi what she felt right at this moment?

She could still describe it, feeling like she was getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, turning on the light and her head going completely blank, only hearing the "zzzzt zzzt" sound that comes from a malfunctioning machine.

Lin Wanning had said that when kissing you should close your eyes, she listened;

Lin Wanning had said that when kissing you should do that, and she did that too;

Lin Wanning also said that when kissing you should wear jeans, hmm, she didn't.

Zhang Yiyi truly regretted it at this moment, deep regret, not heeding Wanning's advice—and now suffering the consequences right before her eyes!

She had thought she could just endure it, how uncomfortable could it be? But, she never could have imagined, never have imagined!

All calculations taken into account, but there was one thing both Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi had missed—that in a private space like the bathroom, Xu Qingfan's boldness was extraordinary!

If Zhang Yiyi's mentor had been Xia Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao would probably also have told her, make sure to wear jeans!

As for the reason...

"Wuu~"

Zhang Yiyi truly felt like she was going to break down at this moment. If she could grit her teeth and withstand the stormy winds and rain above the water, the underwater reefs and rapids would undoubtedly be the death of her.

The little boat had capsized, and the girl, like clutching at the last straw, wrapped her arms around his neck. If it weren't for Xu Qingfan's supporting hands, she feared she might sink into the sea and drown at any moment.

But then again, if it weren't for his mischievous hands supporting her, the girl likely would have swum back to shore ages ago.

Before making a decision, Zhang Yiyi not only sought advice from her "senior" Wanning but also looked up content about kissing online.

She knew that there were many types of kisses; like how most couples lightly touch lips to mark their first kiss once they confirm their relationship.

But Zhang Yiyi was not satisfied with just that. What she wanted was that kind of kiss, first this way, then that way, and then once more that way.

So she continued to scroll down, soon learning many shocking things from one not-so-serious blog.

Zhang Yiyi was full of confidence initially, thinking that Wanning simply hadn't been prepared, that's why she was defeated so thoroughly by Xu Qingfan.

And she, Yiyi, was like a student who had memorized her textbooks thoroughly, feeling confident when the real test came about—wouldn't Brother Xiao Fan be easy to handle?

But then.

[The kissing manual didn't say anything about Brother using his hands.... wuuu..... wuuu wuuu...]

"Rustle rustle, rustle rustle—"

It seemed as though the whole world had narrowed to a single, confined small cubicle, outsiders could not come in, those inside could not leave, nor did they want to leave.

Zhang Yiyi once heard that if you want to teach someone to swim quickly who can't swim, the best method is to throw them into the water.

She had initially been skeptical, but now she wholeheartedly agreed!

As time passed, after placing her entire focus on the naughty Brother, she felt her mind grow increasingly clear.

"Pop~"

Zhang Yiyi withdrew and began to try her newly acquired knowledge in counterattack.

It didn't take long before she felt a change in her brother.

Zhang Yiyi was like a little squirrel in the forest, diligently gathering pine cones, increasingly exerting her effort.

This was a mutual rush of squirrel and pine cone, with only the small tree as a witness.

Time seemed to pass unknowingly. If you asked Xu Qingfan, he'd say, just a few minutes; ask Zhang Yiyi, and she'd say it felt as long as a century.

The squirrel finally broke through the pine cone's shell, savoring the delicious flesh inside, but the little squirrel herself was already breathless, completely wiped out.

It was a confrontation with no victor, or more accurately, a win-win situation.

Both were like children tasting delicious chocolate for the first time, tirelessly delighted.

Gradually, Xu Qingfan was no longer satisfied with touching through clothing, and just as he prepared to take further action, footsteps outside the door startled the two of them, making them shiver simultaneously.

Then, there was the sound of middle-aged women's conversation.

"To think she had the nerve to sell us discontinued goods after over a decade of friendship!"

"As long as you understand her true nature, just consider it a few thousand bucks spent on a lesson."

"I should have listened to you, Jingjing, one should never buy home appliances from acquaintances, it caused you to make this trip in the blazing midday."

Xu Qingfan's hair stood on end, Zhang Yiyi too was startled wide-eyed.

Because the ones outside the toilet were none other than Yao Jiping and Lin Jing!

The conversation continued.

"Jingjing, do you think the kids have eaten? Gone for a week again, once they go off to college, I guess it'll be even harder to see them," Yao Jiping said with a touch of sadness, standing in front of the sink.

"They have to grow up after all; they can't stay by our side for life," Lin Jing said with a smile, shaking her head.

"Why not? Xiaoxiao is so beautiful and outstanding, why not find a live-in son-in-law for her? Otherwise, she'll really be living all alone for life," Yao Jiping, without others around, hugged her best friend from behind just like they used to in school days.

"Let Xiao Fan be my live-in son-in-law. In the future, if it's a boy, he'll have the Xu surname, and if it's a girl, she'll have my Lin surname," Lin Jing said irritably, splashing water at her.

"Of course, I have no objections, as long as that rascal is willing," Yao Jiping's heart skipped a beat, and she cheekily dodged the question.

Lin Jing gave her a stern look; after so many years, she knew her like the palm of her hand—how could she not see through Yao Jiping's little schemes.

"Let's hurry up and finish using the bathroom and pay the bill, it's over thirty degrees outside, the donkey-hide gelatin, and bird's nests, if we don't get them back in the fridge soon, they'll melt."
