Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 479 - 345. Why isn’t it a multiple-choice question!

With just over ten days left until the middle school exams, they weren't panicking, but their mothers were the first to get anxious.

To ensure that the six treasures had plenty of time to prepare for the exam, the mothers discussed in the group chat and stripped them of their rights to buy groceries and cook.

The most relaxing part of their day, shopping for groceries after school, was gone; as soon as they returned home, delicious meals were waiting for them, prepared by Yao Jiping and Zhao YueMin, whose culinary skills were unquestionably reminiscent of home.

It seemed the moms were worried about pressuring their kids, so they would finish cooking half an hour before school ended, tidy up the house, and quietly leave to avoid disturbing their daily routine as much as possible.

Zhang Chunxue, Wen Wanqing, and Lin Jing would also drop by now and then to bring some fruits and snacks, or some nutritious soup to replenish the youngsters' energy.

In fact, there were no snail girls; it was just the selfless love of a mother for her child.

Speaking of nutrition, Xu Qingfan really felt he had been over-nourished recently with all sorts of herbal tonics every day, and it was making him a bit too fiery.

Living with five delicate girls already, he was bombarded with black chicken soup and old duck soup on a daily basis; it was difficult to avoid problems!

It had been half a year since his first kiss was taken, and in that time, he hadn't experienced another first-kiss-stealing incident, but Xia Xiaoxiao had become increasingly clingy to him.

Perhaps 'clingy' wasn't the right word—at least compared to Lin Wanning, she didn't qualify, but compared to other girls in the past, she was definitely more proactive by more than a little bit.

For example, if it was just the two of them, Xia Xiaoxiao loved to drape her snow-white legs over his, or have Xu Qingfan rest his head on her thighs; she was always rewarding him.

But as soon as there were more people around, she'd revert to her usual aloof demeanor, and the idea of rewards was out of the question.

While he was content with this happiness, happiness without sexual gratification wasn't enough; it was quite torturous.

Besides, there was Lin Wanning, who always went straight to the point, and Xu Qingfan genuinely feared that one day his brain would be controlled by aliens.

Moreover, through their interactions over the past half-year, Xu Qingfan had begun to discern something—Xia Xiaoxiao probably had fallen for him?

In theory, with the bond from his previous life, Xu Qingfan should have been thrilled, but he wasn't.

Okay, he was a bit happy, but not overwhelmingly so!

There was always a thorn in his side, and that was the fact that in his previous life, Xia Xiaoxiao had not accepted him. It was only after his rebirth, when he became more outstanding in all aspects, that she started liking him.

Xu Qingfan would have preferred Xia Xiaoxiao to like him as he was in his previous life—the ordinary him—rather than the improved version of himself after reincarnation.

Even though he knew it was impossible, if it hadn't been for the reincarnation, let alone Xia Xiaoxiao, the other four girls probably wouldn't have liked him either.

But because Xia Xiaoxiao was the first girl he met, he couldn't help but be overly critical of her.

Human nature is such; people tend to be forgiving towards strangers, yet vent their harshness on those close to them.

Perhaps it was because of this thorn that, in this life, he did not choose Xia Xiaoxiao as resolutely as before.

Five girls—Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, Xia Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ruawen, and Wu Lingyu—who to choose?

[Why can't this be a multiple-choice question!]

...

In the last week leading up to the middle school exams, teachers stopped giving lectures. Except for physical education, the remainder of the time was spent in self-study.

Sitting in the stuffy classroom for an entire afternoon, one would realize that their back was already soaked in sweat, and the girls' undergarment colors became discernible.

Xu Qingfan certainly didn't want his female classmates to be subjected to the boys' gaze, so in the afternoon, they all stayed at home to study.

With excellent results in both mock exams, the parents were confident enough to let them skip classes.

"It would be great if we could just wake up and find ourselves in high school," Lin Wanning said, resting her head on the desk after finishing a math paper, idly tapping her pen cap to decompress.

"I'd rather steal Brother Fan's brain for myself, hehe...," Xiao Ruawen said, snuggling close to Xia Xiaoxiao, wrapping her arms around Xiaoxiao's waist to relax.

"Close your eyes, and I'll transfer my power to you, letting my high-density knowledge seep into your low-density brains," Xu Qingfan said, smiling as he set down his pen and placed his hands on the two girls' heads.

"Zzzzzzz~" He massaged their scalps with his hands, making accompanying sounds of imparting knowledge.

"Brother Qing Fan, I can feel it, the power of knowledge!" Lin Wanning closed her eyes in cooperation.

"So this is Brother Fan's realm!"

"How childish." Xia Xiaoxiao gave them a look but didn't continue with her problems, putting down her pen and watching the trio playfully with a smile.

Wu Lingyu was quite thoughtful. She said, "Brother Fan, if you've transferred all your knowledge, won't you be left with nothing?"

"Then take mine!" Zhang Yiyi obediently raised her hand.

"All right, I'll replenish my knowledge from you guys!"

"Hohoho~"

His hands took turns giving scalp massages to the five girls, and the living room was filled with laughter and cheerful voices.

"Hahaha..."

...

The chirping of cicadas was like the countdown of the clock outside the window, and the scores on the test papers were like vines climbing upwards.

The last week quietly slipped by, and the middle school exams had arrived.

Declining their parents' eager requests to be taken to the exam, on the first morning of the middle school exams, the six of them slept for an extra half hour than usual before getting up.

The first subject of the morning, Chinese, wouldn't start until nine, so they only needed to be back at school by eight-thirty.

After breakfast at home, Xu Qingfan was responsible for checking everyone's pencil bags.

"Admission ticket, school card, ID card, 2B pencils, eraser, three black signature pens... all here!" He handed out the clear pencil bags to the five of them, also reminding, "Be careful when copying answers to the answer sheet, don't copy the previous question to the next one, and remember to check your name and examination number before handing in the paper, so you don't scare yourself after the exam."

"Brother Qing Fan, we got it!"

"Thank you, Brother."

"So naggy."

"Thanks, Brother Fan!"

"Brother Fan, let's go!"

Each of them gave Xu Qingfan a high five, with Xia Xiaoxiao receiving an extra knock on the head.

"Xiao Xiao, nail the Chinese exam!"

"Nailed it!"

The six of them shouldered their backpacks and went out the door, and five minutes later they entered the campus, at eight ten in the morning.

Their examination rooms were all in different locations, so after sending the five girls to their rooms, Xu Qingfan finally arrived at his own examination hall.

At eight fifty, the announcement came over the PA system, "Teachers in charge of monitoring the exams, please start distributing the test papers and drafts."

After signing his name on the sealed bag, Xu Qingfan was the first to receive the Chinese test paper.

He immediately flipped the test paper over to look at this year's Chinese composition topic, a semi-commanded composition: The road beneath my feet, the distant ______

An overly dramatic but fitting phrase instantly came to Xu Qingfan's mind.

He wrote on the draft paper: We will take three years of youth and seven exam papers to bet on a tomorrow with the world.
