Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 580 - 409. What does kissing actually feel like?

The idle chat didn’t last too long before the bell for evening studies rang.

Sunday evening study was perhaps the most relaxed moment of the week; firstly, the homework load was light, and secondly, everyone had just finished their holiday, so the students’ restless hearts had not yet settled.

Even as the homeroom teacher sat at the podium, continuous whispers persisted throughout the classroom.

Almost a month into school, the students had gradually figured out that high school teachers seemed to be less involved, so their initial fear had faded.

Although Xu Qingfan did not think highly of his middle school, he had to admit that of the four stages—elementary, middle, high school, and college—the most responsible teachers were indeed in middle school.

"The selection test for the math competition class is next period, and any interested students can sign up to participate. Expanding your knowledge can be very helpful for your studies," the teacher announced at a leisurely pace after sitting down and taking a sip of tea.

"The physics and chemistry competition tests will be held during the second session of evening study on the next two days, respectively. Any interested students should prepare in advance."

Xu Qingfan merely glanced faintly at the homeroom teacher on the podium before continuing to look down at the company reports on his iPad.

After holding a certain percentage of shares, Apple Company would send new products to their shareholders each time they released them; the iPad 2 he was currently using had arrived in just such a way.

Xiao Ruawen was similarly uninterested in the competition tests, hiding her phone in her drawer and playing with it.

If someone was observing closely at that moment, they would have noticed her breathing was rapid, she was in a state of excitement, and even her cheeks were tinged with a faint blush.

The reason was obviously related to the content she was currently viewing:

[What to do when your boyfriend gets aroused while kissing?]

[What is a real kiss?]

[Why do they say a French kiss is the best aphrodisiac between lovers!]

[Why are kisses so intoxicating?]

[...]

A gateway to a new world had thus opened for Xiao Ruawen.

Previously half-knowledgeable about everything, she was for the first time systematically learning about the many points of kissing.

Xiao Ruawen felt she had become both dirtier and stronger.

[So last time, what Brother Fan and I did wasn’t really kissing.]

For some reason, realizing that Xu Qingfan’s first kiss wasn’t with her made Xiao Ruawen feel a bit unhappy.

[I’m just worried about us arguing over the first kiss, that’s why I’m unhappy!]

[Yes, that’s it!]

Xiao Ruawen felt she had found the crux of the issue, of course, it wasn’t possibly because she was jealous that Xiao Xiao had taken Brother Fan’s first kiss. She was too happy to even consider that, especially since she was a leading member of the Xiao Xiao fan club!

[But really, what does a true kiss feel like? Xiao Xiao could actually kiss Brother Fan for nearly an hour...]

"Ah!" Just as Xiao Ruawen was lost in her thoughts, Xu Qingfan suddenly nudged her with his elbow.

Many people turned their gaze toward them, including the homeroom teacher who was making announcements on the podium.

Realizing her blunder, Xiao Ruawen immediately played dead by laying her head on the desk, while her hand hidden under the table pinched Xu Qingfan’s thigh hard.

"Brother Fan, what are you doing~ You startled me!"

Xu Qingfan swatted her hand away irritably, "I was about to ask you the same thing, I’ve called you several times and you didn’t respond."

Knowing she was at fault, Xiao Ruawen secretly stuck out her tongue, and following the conversation asked, "What did you want to ask me?"

"Yu said she wants to have a midnight snack tonight, and asked what you think," Xu Qingfan glanced at her.

"What else can I think? Of course we’re eating!" After making sure no one was looking at her, Xiao Ruawen began to lecture Xu Qingfan with great fervor.

"The scope of the exam covers middle school content and the first three units of freshman year. Students, please make use of your time to review," Guo Youcai concluded his announcement from the podium.

Xu Qingfan finished replying to Wu Lingyu in the group chat and returned to looking at his report.

Xiao Ruawen pretended to be a diligent student with her textbook for a while but soon couldn’t suppress her curiosity and went back to looking at her phone.

During the second evening self-study session, the class saw a reduction in attendance by a third, but Xu Qingfan’s group was the only one full in number.

"Brother Fan, aren’t you participating in the competition?" Wang Xuan had initially thought if Xu Qingfan was going, she would too, but seeing him seated there the whole time, she couldn’t help but ask.

Just as Xu Qingfan was about to reply, his number one fan, Wu Shichong, had already blurted out, "What level do you think Brother Fan is at? He doesn’t need to bother with minor competition selections; he’s definitely been preselected!"

"Pfft~ Hahaha!"

Listening to this, Xiao Ruawen wanted to laugh, but Wang Xuan took it seriously and hurriedly packed her stationery box to go take the exam.

"I bet it was you who spread that rumor on Tieba that I scored 810 in the middle school exams, just making stuff up!" Xu Qingfan was somewhat speechless.

The highest score for middle school exams is only 810; there should be a limit to boasting!

"So Brother Fan, were you really preselected or not?" Wang Xuan was just about to leave, but on hearing this she paused.

Wu Shichong guiltily used his textbook to cover his face, as it was indeed a rumor he had started.

"No, I’ve always been in competitions during elementary and middle school and got a bit tired of it. I plan to focus my energy elsewhere in high school," Xu Qingfan said in an even tone.

"I told you Brother Fan is awesome. It’s not that he was preselected; he simply couldn’t care less about participating in competitions!" Wu Shichong immediately revived full of energy, "How does that saying go? I’m not targeting anyone, but I mean to say that everyone present here, you’re all trash!"

No one responded to Wu Shichong’s self-entertainment; Wang Xuan had a moment of realization and nodded, "So that’s how it is."

"Yeah." Xu Qingfan suddenly realized something was off, glanced sideways, and noticed that Xiao Ruawen, usually a chatterbox, had gone quiet tonight.

"What are you looking at so intently?" He leaned in, and before he could see clearly, Xiao Ruawen quickly turned her screen off in a fluster.

"Brother Fan, you’re so annoying, trying to peek at a girl’s secret!" Xiao Ruawen’s cheeks were flushed as she stood with her hands on her hips, glancing uncontrollably at his lips.

"A girl’s secret? Now I’ve got to see it!" Xu Qingfan moved in closer, teasing.

"Go away, get lost!" Xiao Ruawen hid her phone and pushed him away with all her might.

"Just let me have a look, it’s not like you’ll lose a piece of meat."

"No way!"

The two tugged at each other until Xiao Ruawen whispered in his ear, "Do you believe I’ll spill about you and Xiao Xiao going up to the rooftop this Saturday?"

Xu Qingfan immediately behaved, sitting upright like a gentleman.

Wu Shichong, Wang Xuan, and others were curious about what they had whispered, but Xu Qingfan glared and said, "What are you looking at? Study!"

"(ˉ▽￣～) Cut~~"

The crowd burst out in jeers, and Xiao Ruawen stifled a smug smile on the side.

[Little Brother Fan, easily handled!]

[Little Brother Fan, hahaha....]

[But really, is kissing actually that enjoyable?]
