"Boss, I'm so nervous, man. Could someone confess to me tonight? If there are too many people, who should I pick?"

Early in the morning when he arrived at school, Chen Dongdong started muttering beside himself.

This guy was as excited as a sow in heat, acting as if the event he was attending tonight was his own birthday party.

Even before school was dismissed, he had already changed into his flashiest clothes underneath his uniform.

"Dongdong, wake up, you're not going to have a girlfriend."

Being annoyed by him to no end, Xu Fan gave him a serious pat on the shoulder and started to bring him down a notch.

As for Chen Dongdong's excitement, Xu Fan didn't find it strange. After all, aside from the last camping trip, the class hadn't had a group activity for a long time.

It wasn't just him, all the students who received the invitation were looking forward to it.

"Weird..."

The bell for class had already rung, and as the teacher walked into the classroom, Xu Fan, puzzled, glanced over at Xia Xiaodie's empty seat.

These past few days, under arrangements made by Xia Yanyu, Xia Xiaodie had arrived at school very early every day, but now, Xu Fan hadn't seen a trace of her.

Could she be preparing a birthday gift?

Although Xia Xiaodie told him that she had already prepared the birthday gift for Shimeng, Xu Fan couldn't entirely grasp the truth from this mischievous girl's words.

Who knows, this mischievous girl might have intentionally skipped class to prepare a gift for her best friend.

Xu Fan didn't think too much into it and simply focused on attending his classes.

However, by noon when school was dismissed, Xia Xiaodie still hadn't shown up at her seat.

This couldn't help but worry Xu Fan a bit, and as people around him had already left the classroom to eat lunch, he walked straight to Shimeng in the front row.

"Shimeng, why didn't Xiaodie come today?"

Although Xia Yanyu had grounded Xia Xiaodie, she surely wouldn't be so extreme as to forbid Xia Xiaodie from contacting even Shimeng.

Xu Fan thought to ask Shimeng if he could find out any bit of news.

"I, I don't know..."

Hearing Xu Fan mention Xia Xiaodie, a hint of nervousness flickered in Shimeng's eyes as she stooped to arrange the clothes she needed to change into for the live broadcast, stammering, "She might be preparing something..."

"Preparing what?"

Xu Fan frowned, about to ask further when Shimeng, holding her backpack, walked out of the classroom.

"Xu Fan, I'm going to the vocal music room now."

"Why is everyone acting so weird..."

Shimeng looked very strange today, and Xu Fan shook his head, quietly pondering to himself.

Could it be that the mischievous girl is sick?

Impossible...

These past few days, Xia Xiaodie had been as lively as a dragon, showing no signs of sickness at all.

Unable to figure out why the mischievous girl would skip class, and not caring whether Xia Yanyu would find out, Xu Fan pulled out his phone and called Xia Xiaodie.

But the call didn't go through; Xia Xiaodie's phone had been turned off...

"Damn it..."

After sending messages on both QQ and WeChat to Xia Xiaodie without getting any response, Xu Fan cursed under his breath and directly called Xia Yanyu.

He had gotten Xia Yanyu's number when he was involved with Bingdilian before, and with no one else to ask for news at this point, he needed to ask this eternal iceberg if he wanted to know what on earth Xia Xiaodie was up to.

Xia Yanyu's phone wasn't turned off, but the moment she heard it was Xu Fan's voice, the woman didn't hesitate and immediately hung up the phone.

"Damn! Eternal iceberg, old maid..."

After making several calls to Xia Yanyu, the woman learned it was him calling and hung up faster each time, until finally, she just turned off her phone.

Xu Fan was so angry he almost smashed his phone.

"Damn it, when I get the chance, I'll pull down your pants and thrash your ass!"

At this point, it was like asking the heavens and getting no answer, asking the earth and it not knowing. Xu Fan's only option was to patiently wait, hoping Xia Xaodie would show up at the birthday party in the evening.

Soon, an afternoon of classes had painfully dragged by.

This meant that it was almost time to let loose, the bunch of animals in the class immediately cheered.

Some students who had prepared gifts in advance directly started presenting them to Guan Shimeng.

Guan Shimeng was overwhelmed with gifts, but her smile seemed somewhat accommodating.

Although she was saying thank you, her gaze was constantly observing Xu Fan at the back row.

"Xu Fan, let's go, Shanshan and the others are already waiting at the school gate. Xiaodie probably won't miss it..."

Tonight's coming-of-age party wasn't just for students from Zijing Middle School; Guan Shimeng had invited other childhood friends and friends as well.

Shanshan was the one Xu Fan had celebrated with last time.

"Yeah, sure, let's not keep them waiting."

Today was Guan Shimeng's day to be happy, and Xu Fan didn't want to spoil everyone's mood because of himself, so he smiled, stood up, and walked out of school with everyone.

Upon exiting the school gate, they saw a bunch of fashionably dressed girls waiting there.

Leading them was clearly one of Guan Shimeng's close friends, Shanshan.

This nightclub queen level girl, for once, didn't have men hanging around her today; in fact, she had brought a group of pretty girls only.

Most likely knowing Guan Shimeng's personality, she didn't want any dubious men ruining her best friend's coming-of-age party mood.

The group of girls Shanshan brought were of exceptionally high caliber, and given their usual style, they leaned against the fancy cars and instantly mesmerized all the animals in the class.

They were nearly drooling like dogs.

Hearts may pound, but Chen Dongdong, who had just claimed he'd be the king of the nightclub, and his gang were still greenhorns; they were so nervous at the sight of the girls that they found themselves unable to speak.

"Xu Fan, make sure you cover for us when we get to Prosperous Dynasty."

After chatting with Guan Shimeng for a while, Shanshan winked and led a group of girls toward Xu Fan.

This forward approach almost made Chen Dongdong's gang drop their eyes in shock.

All of them were anxious about not snagging girls, and there you are, the big brother, too ruthless, right? She's coming straight to you?

"Boss, boss, you know her?"

After shepherding away Shanshan's group, Chen Dongdong's gang of animals immediately pounced towards Xu Fan.

The envy in their eyes almost devoured Xu Fan.

Xu Fan casually nodded and said, "Yeah, met once before."

"Once, just once?"

Chen Dongdong and his gang nearly cried after hearing that.

With all that hair tossing and flirtatious eye throwing, was that really just a one-time meet-up effect???
