Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts

Time flies, and by mid-December, Li City's weather begins to experience a historic drop in temperature.

For commuting students, the hardest part of the day isn't keeping warm, but how to get out of bed after the alarm goes off in the morning.

As the weather got colder, Xu Qingfan had already become accustomed to not leaving the bed until the last possible minute.

But today, he noticed something was amiss.

Xu Qingfan opened his eyes in confusion and saw half a head poking out like the corner of a landmine.

He barely needed to take a closer look, immediately guessing it was Lin Wanning by the scent in the bedding.

Xu Qingfan reached out and touched the girl's arms and legs, only then realizing she was still in her pajamas, no wonder it felt so comfortable to hold her.

"Mmm~ Brother Qingfan... sleepy," Lin Wanning murmured as she felt the movement, barely opening her eyes.

Upon making sure she was in Brother Qingfan's arms, she closed her eyes again, comfortably placing her leg on top of Xu Qingfan.

"Wanning, why did you come to my room and not change clothes?" Xu Qingfan slid his hand under her clothes, his large hand generating warmth from the friction.

"Brother Qingfan, the bed, comfy," Lin Wanning said with a sweet smile and bubbling breath.

The room was dark, the curtains drawn, and the alarm clock for getting up hadn't rung yet.

Xu Qingfan's sneaky paw quickly moved from behind to the front, and Lin Wanning gave a symbolic resistance a few times, realizing it was in vain, she closed her eyes and decided to give in.

[Anyway, this is quite comfortable as well.] Lin Wanning's lips formed a faint smile, thinking to herself.

But her smile didn't last long.

"Ah~ Brother Qingfan, you can't eat that!"

"Wu~ I don't want to..."

...

After a vigorous morning exercise, both Xu Qingfan and Lin Wanning were warm, not feeling the cold even with bare arms exposed to the air.

After their workout, they quietly dressed and got out of bed before anyone else awoke.

"Brother Qingfan, if you don't brush your teeth next time, I, I'm not playing with you!"

The two brushed their teeth in the bathroom, with Lin Wanning, toothbrush in mouth, hands on hips, glaring at him huffily.

"Let's see if you dare to sneak into my bed again," Xu Qingfan tapped the girl's nose and smiled lightly, "Besides, next time won't stop the kissing."

Lin Wanning took a mouthful of water, gurgling as she rinsed and spat out the toothpaste suds.

She looked at Brother Qingfan and herself in the mirror, tip-toed closer to Xu Qingfan, leaned her tilted head on his shoulder, and smiled foolishly at their reflection.

"Hehe~"

Xu Qingfan, seeing her like this, felt equally happy.

"You look so silly," he said, rubbing the girl's head with his hand.

"I'm not silly!"

"Brother Fan is the silly one, Wanning is smart!"

Lin Wanning coquettishly acted cute in the mirror, sometimes wrinkling her nose, sometimes raising her eyebrows.

"Alright, alright, stand still and let me wipe your face for you," Xu Qingfan picked up the towel soaked in hot water, wrung it out, and steam could still be seen coming off it.

Lin Wanning obediently closed her eyes, letting Xu Qingfan spread the towel over her face, rubbing her forehead, rubbing her cheeks.

After rinsing and wiping a second time, the girl's face was now rosy and apple-like.

"Bite." Xu Qingfan opened his mouth wide, pretending to bite her, only to be gently punched on the face by Lin Wanning's little fists.

"Hehe~ Brother Qingfan, let me wash you!"

When it was Xu Qingfan's turn to wash his face, Lin Wanning considerately took over the towel.

"Does it feel good, Brother Qingfan?" Lin Wanning, at 165 centimeters, had no trouble reaching up to help the taller Xu Qingfan, who was 185 centimeters, clean his face.

"Mhm."

"Is it anywhere close to as comfortable as with me just now?"

The smile at the corner of the dog-man's mouth was harder to suppress than an AK.

"Just now... Ah, Brother Qingfan, you're so naughty!"

Realizing what Xu Qingfan meant, Lin Wanning's pretty face blushed even more.

...

"Strange, Fan and Wanning, you two are up so early today." At breakfast, Xiao Ruawen commented, observing the two looking refreshed.

"Hehe~"

Lin Wanning responded with a smile, flashing her teeth; she knew she wasn't quick-witted, better to wait for Brother Fan to explain.

"Well, that's nothing, just because it's Friday today, looking forward to the afternoon off," Xu Qingfan answered vaguely.

"Right, Christmas and small Xiao's birthday are coming soon, and so is New Year's Day. This year has flown by pretty fast," Xiao Ruawen got distracted, counting out the upcoming events on her fingers.

"Our class still hasn't settled on a New Year's performance. I don't know whether to go with a skit or a song," Wu Lingyu, a bit inexperienced as class president for the first time, faced a cacophony of different opinions from her classmates, which resulted in indecision.

"Wow, Yu, your class hasn't decided yet? There's only two weeks until the competition, our class is singing, we've already decided," Xiao Ruawen said in surprise.

"Some in the class suggested singing, a skit, street dance, or a folk dance. I don't know who to listen to," Wu Lingyu looked at Xu Qingfan, hoping for his opinion.

"Well, what's there to listen to? Yu, just go back at noon and have your classmates vote. Whichever gets the most votes, that's what you rehearse," Xiao Ruawen suggested nonchalantly.

"But that's a compromise. If you want the rehearsed program to be selected, you still have to make up your own mind."

The discussion kicked off with Xiao Ruawen, followed by Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, and Xia Xiaoxiao expressing their opinions.

"I think voting is good. It doesn't waste any effort, and nobody gets offended."
