Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts

"No way, if it's Brother Fan, then there's definitely no problem. Mom, you'll definitely regret it in the future!" Fortunately, He Caiting hadn't gone crazy over celebrities yet. After she finished speaking, she added:

"But mom's company is pretty awesome too. A lot of my classmates are using Ku Mao Music. Hehe, at worst our family will go from being billionaires to millionaires."

Chen Yan shook her head helplessly, smiling, "Alright, alright, earning so much money is eventually for you. That Mr. Xu's family must be very powerful, you shouldn't demean yourself by helping him release any singles. In the end, you'll just be laughed at behind your back."

"Wuwu, got it, Mom." He Caiting pouted in disappointment.

She had specifically returned to Li City Shan Karla High School for Xu Qingfan, and now her plan to pursue her crush hadn't even started before it faltered.

Remembering Xu Qingfan's behavior that day, Chen Yan continued: "Well, Mr. Xu is indeed very outstanding. During your student years, you should focus more on your studies and make more friends."

She spoke vaguely, but she thought her daughter would understand.

"Alright, Mom, I know. That'll do, I'm going to brush my teeth and sleep now. You should rest early too, goodnight!" He Caiting, obviously picking up the underlying messages from her mother, couldn't help but feel a bit unhappy.

After hanging up the phone, she stared blankly at her reflection in the mirror for a long time.

[I'm not as pretty as they are, and I've lost the family advantage too. How am I going to get close to Brother Fan...]

...

"Dadadada~ Dudududu~"

On the way back, five girls hummed the melody of "Firework."

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, when can you come up with lyrics?" Xiao Ruawen changed from her usual demeanor today, clinging to Xu Qingfan's hand and not letting go, sinking deep into his soft chest.

"What kind of lyrics can match this tune, I'm so looking forward to it!"

Xu Qingfan looked up at the moon. After the rain, the sky was clear tonight without a single cloud, and the moon shone very brightly.

"Do you like singing so much, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" Instead of answering, he turned his head to look at the girl and asked back.

"Ah? Me, I don't know," Xiao Ruawen blinked and shook her head in confusion.

"My mom wants me to be a teacher, and my dad wants me to join the military, but I definitely won't listen to him!" she added.

"Singing, don't you want to sing?" Xu Qingfan asked with a smile.

"Ah, ah, Brother Fan, there you go again, you know that my family would never allow it!" She scratched her head, somewhat frustrated, and playfully slapped the young man entertaining her.

"Why not? Wanning, what do you want to do in the future?" Xu Qingfan beckoned, and Lin Wanning obediently trotted over and snuggled into his embrace.

"Hehe~ I want to draw manga, but Brother Qing Fan's serialized novel hasn't been updated for over half a year!" Lin Wanning wound her arm around his other arm, her fingers playfully poking at it.

[Of course, I want to be Brother Fan's wife!] she said to herself.

"Er..." Xu Qingfan was momentarily choked up.

He had planned to write again after the middle school exams were over, but by then, he had lost his train of thought and had to abandon the story after writing over three hundred thousand words.

[Could a good author exist who has never abandoned his work?] Xu Qingfan comforted himself with righteous indignation.

"Drawing that is boring, I've thought of a new script, and this time we'll definitely continue the glory of Hilarious Daily!" An image of a certain bunny suddenly popped into his mind, and he declared outright.

"Wow! Brother Qing Fan is the best!!"

"Thank you, Brother!"

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi said in unison, sweetly rejoicing.

"Well, back to the matter with Ruan Wen, I'm planning to establish a music company soon, and we'll definitely need to nurture independent musicians, so Ruan Wen, you actually don't have to worry about anything."

Xu Qingfan's gaze swept over the five girls, finally resting on Xiao Ruawen.

"Ah? A music company? Really!" Xiao Ruawen's eyes lit up like bright bulbs.

"What, really or not, of course it's real, haven't I promised before to make you big stars? Now we have our own company, no fear of any hidden rules!"

On the lonely, dark campus path, Xu Qingfan said loudly.

"Then it's you who would be the one, right!" Xia Xiaoxiao still remembered that incident, that shameless Xu Qingfan had said 'Since it's all the same, might as well take advantage of me.'

"I'm saying, why do you always tarnish my reputation, am I that kind of person!" Xu Qingfan retorted angrily.

"Yes!"

"Hahahaha!"

The five girls said in unison, their clear laughter carried far away by the wind.

[Spot on judgement!] Xu Qingfan silently added to himself.
