Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 602 - 423. You can pursue love, but be mindful of the impact.

A blockbuster song, "Misaligned Time," had made Xiao Ruawen’s name thoroughly famous across the campus.

Ever since she returned to school, students had been flocking to Class 16, drawn by her reputation. After someone at the window pointed her out as Xiao Ruawen, the crowds would erupt with exclamations, time and again.

As the person involved, Xiao Ruawen found this still quite novel at first.

Being ogled like a celebrity was a new experience for her, but after a while, it inevitably became a bit of an annoyance.

"Seriously, don’t they have homework to do?" she paused in writing, looking out the window somewhat helplessly.

"Wait a couple of days, it’ll calm down. Who asked you to become so popular?" Xu Qingfan tapped her head with his pen.

"What are you all doing here? Go back to your own classes!"

A teacher came down the corridor to shoo the students away, and the crowd that had gathered to watch the excitement instantly scattered.

"Crap, it’s the grade leader." Lai Chenglang glanced at the door and immediately crouched down, feeling guilty even though he hadn’t done anything.

"Bullsh*t... Damn, it really is!" Wu Shichong initially didn’t take it seriously, but after a sidelong glance, he also sprang into a flurry of fake movements in just a second.

"What are you two afraid of if it’s just the grade leader?" Xu Qingfan couldn’t understand the pair—he hadn’t done anything wrong, so why be so guilty at the sight of the grade leader?

"Brother Fan, you don’t understand."

"Exactly, you don’t get it!"

The two of them kept their eyes on the teacher at the door, straightening their backs only after the grade leader had left.

Xu Qingfan snorted. He had been a student himself; it was just like how mice fear cats, and students naturally fear teachers.

It was like how some students always wanted someone to accompany them to the teacher’s office, purely for courage.

Wang Xuan looked at the pair with disdain, then turned to Xu Qingfan and said, "Brother Fan, why didn’t you put your name on the song credits as the lyricist and composer?"

Whether it was Misaligned Time or the songs Xu Qingfan had written for Xiao Ruawen before, the name given as the lyricist and composer was that of their primary and middle school band—After School Tea Time.

The reason was simply that Xu Qingfan had felt, if he had revealed his identity as a lyricist and composer so early, it wouldn’t maximize the benefits.

When he stepped into the spotlight in the future and gradually revealed the mystery, he would gain a lot of attention.

But now, he could coolly claim, "It’s nothing. I just don’t really like being famous."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan was genuinely awestruck. [A true idol should be indifferent to fame and wealth like this!]

"So that’s why." She nodded, appearing enlightened.

Xiao Ruawen secretly elbowed him: [Dare to flirt with another girl right in front of your lady, acting like I’m invisible, are you!]

Xu Qingfan elbowed her back, Xiao Ruawen elbowed him again, and he did the same.

They continued until the bell for class rang, playing happily.

"The teacher’s coming."

Xu Qingfan whispered a warning, and Xiao Ruawen was indeed distracted enough to look away. He seized the opportunity to grab her hand and clamp it between his thighs.

After several attempts, Xiao Ruawen couldn’t pull her hand back and murmured in embarrassed annoyance, "Let go!"

Xu Qingfan, not lifting his head, continued doing homework single-handedly, but his legs clamping her hand tightened even more.

"Brother Chou Fan, I’m counting to three!"

Xiao Ruawen tried to pull her hand back but was afraid of attracting the homeroom teacher’s attention, so she could only whisper threats.

"Three, two, one." Xu Qingfan counted down emotionlessly for her.

"You!"

Xiao Ruawen felt like Xu Qingfan was treating her like a cat because that was how she usually played with Little White—holding it in her arms, keeping it from running away even though it struggled to escape.

But speaking of which, after having such a thought, a strange feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Hmph~ Brother Chou Fan."

Xiao Ruawen cursed under her breath and picked up her pen, giving in to letting him fiddle with her hand.

"We need to announce a few things." Guo Youcai turned on the microphone, "We need to start planning this month’s bulletin board, and the theme is the Xinhai Revolution. The publicity officer should arrange the schedule."

"Secondly, last week a student was scratched by a stray cat on campus. When you play with cats, be mindful of safety. If you’re bitten or scratched, don’t take it lightly; tell a teacher immediately, and get a leave for rabies vaccination."

"Also, every year from August to October is the peak period for snakes to appear. It’s not the cartoon characters Bear Brothers; there are real snakes!"

The students burst into laughter, and once the laughter died down a bit, Guo Youcai continued, "Be careful not to look only at your books while walking at night, and watch out for snakes on the ground. A snakebite is no joke."

"That’s all I have to say, the class president and Xu Qingfan, come out for a moment."

After finishing, Guo Youcai left the classroom, and Xu Qingfan had no choice but to let go of Xiao Ruawen’s hand.

"Brother Fan, what does the homeroom teacher want with you guys?"

"Do you think it’s about the song?"

Lai Chenglang and Wu Shichong asked simultaneously.

"How would I know?" Xu Qingfan shrugged and pushed Xiao Ruawen to head out with him.

"Is there something you want, Teacher?" After leaving, they approached Guo Youcai, and Xu Qingfan asked.

The homeroom teacher nodded at them, looking at Xu Qingfan first, and said, "Qingfan, why didn’t you participate in last week’s competition class exam?"

"Oh... I had other things to do in high school, didn’t have much time to focus on competitions." Xu Qingfan scratched the back of his head.

Guo Youcai opened his mouth as if to say something but then remembered how nonchalantly Xu Qingfan had mentioned donating to the school, and he sheepishly abandoned his plans to play the teacher.

"Hmm, it’s good to have clear goals in high school," he said, nodding in approval, then continued, "I have something else to discuss with the class president, so Qingfan, you go back to evening self-study for now."

"Oh, okay."

Xu Qingfan shot Xiao Ruawen a glance and flicked the back of her hand before leaving.
