Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts

May 30th, Friday, the students at Experimental Primary School celebrated Children's Day in advance. Each grade group brainstormed and presented five programs; in the end, the entire school across six grades organized over thirty mini-games for the students to enjoy. "Brother Qingfan, I can't figure this one out; 'hit a word every fifteen days.' What word is it?" After pondering for a long while, Lin Wanning couldn't figure out the answer and handed the riddle note to Xu Qingfan. Upon receiving the note, Xu Qingfan initially thought Lin Wanning hadn't finished reading it but indeed, it was about hitting a word every fifteen days. "Ahem... this... I think... it should be…" Xu Qingfan tactically coughed, thinking, "The impression that I'm infallible in Lin Wanning's eyes won't be ruined by a mere riddle, right?" "Even Brother Qingfan can't figure it out?" Little Wanning looked dejectedly at the prize area where a double-diamond four-wheel drive Audi was on display. "Brother Fan, you dropped something!" Suddenly, a student volunteer at the stall pointed to a piece of paper on the ground and spoke to Xu Qingfan. "Huh? I didn't drop anything!" Although Xu Qingfan said this, he still bent down to pick up the A4 paper from the ground and then saw the bold and blackened words "Complete Guide to Riddle Answers." [Bingo! Bingo! The lantern riddle Wanning had is number 83!] Xu Qingfan quickly scanned for number 83, thankfully the answer wasn't obscure; it was simply the word "fat." "This is yours, what's your name, kid? I'll buy you a Coke sometime!" Xu Qingfan nonchalantly patted the shoulder of the person who had just spoken, and handed the paper back. The touch from Xu Qingfan infused the person with motivation; his eyes gleaming as he stared at Xu Qingfan: "Brother Fan, my name is Zhao Wumian, from Class 10 of the first grade! Brother Fan, you don't know, last semester when you flipped your bangs and turned around to go on stage to receive the award, you looked incredibly cool. Brother Fan, you're my idol, what's your QQ number, Brother Fan I..." Xu Qingfan's hand awkwardly hung in mid-air as he handed back the paper, listening to this self-proclaimed fanboy chatter nonstop for almost a minute. Thank goodness he didn't blurt out, "Brother Fan, let's go fencing together," or else Xu Qingfan would have definitely run away. Things like Nantong, way too scary! "Here's my QQ number, thanks." Xu Qingfan picked up a pen from the desk and wrote down his seven-digit QQ number on a sticky note. Speaking of which, he had to register dozens of accounts before he got this QQ number; by the year 2002, the newly registered QQ numbers were usually nine digits. "Brother Qingfan, if you can't figure it out, let's just leave it. There's a game over there where you blow ping-pong balls across water, and Wanning wants to play!" Lin Wanning tugged at the hem of Xu Qingfan's school uniform. "Ahem how can such a simple riddle stump your Brother Qingfan, isn't fifteen days half a month, and what word is that?" Xu Qingfan countered. "Fat!" Lin Wanning jumped up excitedly on the spot. "Brother Qingfan is amazing! And look, we can't figure out this one either!" Lin Wanning pulled Zhang Yiyi next to Xu Qingfan, then ran ahead excitedly to claim the prize. "I don't know." Zhang Yiyi sweetly smiled, handing over the paper and tilting her head as she looked at him. [Oh no, not another gank!] Xu Qingfan guiltily took the note and read: It's not about the bamboo getting taller joint by joint, guess a type of plant. Luckily, he knew this one. Getting a fright for nothing, Xu Qingfan confidently wrote in Zhang Yiyi's little notebook: It's sugarcane, silly! As he handed back the notebook, he also gently patted the little girl's head. "Oh⊙∀⊙!" The little girl looked at the content in the notebook, nodding her head as if she understood. Having never been to the countryside, she had no idea what sugarcane was, especially since if judged only as a fruit, sugarcane's taste was quite average. Most importantly, chewing on a stick was hardly graceful! Therefore, Zhang Chunxue had never bought sugarcane home to eat, and without anyone introducing it, even if Zhang Yiyi saw those long, black sticks on the street, she wouldn't know what they were for. The two little ones went to redeem their prizes with their answers, and sure enough, both quickly returned to Xu Qingfan with the prizes they desired. "Brother Qing Fan is the best!" Lin Wanning shouted, holding up her newly acquired remote-control car. "Awesome, Brother Qing Fan is awesome!" Zhang Yiyi also took out a notebook, wrote something in it, and waved it up and down in front of Xu Qingfan. Xu Qingfan remembered the help from Brother Zhao just now and approached him again, saying, "Do you know 'Hilarious Daily'?" "I know it! I love watching it!! These past few days, I've visited every bus stop billboard in Li City. Brother Fan, do you want to hear a joke? I'll tell you one!" Zhao Wumian said excitedly. Xu Qingfan: ... [It seems I've met a super fan with a double BUFF.] He originally wanted to randomly check how much the students from Experimental Primary School knew about "Hilarious Daily," but unexpectedly encountered a big fish right off the bat. "Really? You also think the comics we draw are good-looking?" Lin Wanning, after hearing this, excitedly pulled Zhang Yiyi's hand and stepped forward. "Definitely for real! Look at this, it's all my..... What!! You say the comics are drawn by you!!!!!" Zhao Wumian had just pulled out a notebook from his bag and pointed incredulously at the trio after realizing it. "Of course we draw them, our pen name is Deeply in Love, 'Deep' from Yiyi's name, 'Love' from my Wanning, and 'In' from Brother Qing Fan!" Lin Wanning announced proudly, counting on her fingers as she introduced. Zhao Wumian was so astonished he couldn't speak coherently: "You...you guys....I.....comics..." "Thank you for liking our comics. I'll gift you a signed copy next Monday," Xu Qingfan said, patting the other's shoulder and smiling as he took the notebook Zhao had pulled out. Upon opening it, it was filled with battle-damaged panels of the comic. He smiled and signed on the cover: Deeply in Love—Xu Qingfan Zhang Yiyi and Lin Wanning, looking at the pitifully created comics in the notebook, couldn't help but burst into laughter. The two little ones, learning by example, picked up pens and wrote under Xu Qingfan's signature: Deeply in Love—Lin Wanning Deeply in Love—Zhang Yiyi 2003.5.30 Watching the three new signatures appear on his notebook, Zhao Wumian's mood took a long time to calm down: "Brother Fan, rest assured, I'll definitely help you promote 'Hilarious Daily' at school!" "No need, no need, otherwise you might end up getting disciplined by the school like me," Xu Qingfan said with a dismissive wave of his hand. "How can I not! Fan affairs are not your concern!! I've decided to promote 'Hilarious Daily', even Jesus can't stop me!" Realizing he might have spoken too loudly, he whispered, "Don't worry, Brother Fan, my dad's on the school board, they won't discipline me!" Apparently worried Xu Qingfan might not believe him, Zhao Wumian left with a "Just you wait" before rushing out. "Brother Qing Fan, where is he off to now?" Lin Wanning asked, shaking her head in confusion. "I have no clue!" A few minutes later. "Hey, hey, hey, I want to announce something here, our Brother Fan's 'Hilarious Daily' comic will officially go on sale on Children's Day, everyone make sure to come....ah...let me finish talking..." Suddenly, the public address system above their heads blared before cutting off. All the teachers and students participating in the event were utterly confused, only the three kids at the booth looked at each other eye to eye.
