My childhood sweetheart, who was reborn with me, ended up as a loser.

Chapter 43 I Hate Being Lied To

Xu Qingfan made a phone call that lasted almost half an hour. The microphone in his hand was so hot that he couldn't hold it anymore. He glanced at the time and reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Wanning.

"See you tomorrow, Ning."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Qingfan-gege!"

When Xu Qingfan hung up the phone and turned around, he found Xia Xiaoxiao raising her neck slightly, looking at him with a haughty look that was neither contemptuous nor disgusted.

(`へ´*)ノ

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xu Qingfan was completely baffled.

"I'll see how long you can keep this up on the phone." Xia Xiaoxiao turned the TV volume up again and stopped looking at him.

Xu Qingfan walked to the coffee table, picked up the remote control, and set the air conditioner temperature to 27 degrees Celsius. "We'll get up at 8:30 tomorrow. Wan Ning said a car will come to pick us up at the entrance of the community. We'll go to Wan Ning's house for breakfast then."

"Oh." Xia Xiaoxiao didn't care much. If she didn't want to avoid Xia Guofu, she would have preferred to stay at home and sleep in.

"I just thought of something else. Is buying domain names very profitable? Do you know how to buy domain names?" Xu Qingfan shamelessly lay down on her small lap, blinking his beautiful peach blossom eyes at her.

Xia Xiaoxiao put her hands on his face and pinched his lips, nose, and cheeks like she was playing with clay. Hehe, so fun!

"Buying domain names is definitely profitable. If you buy the AI.com domain name now, you can sell it for a hundred million US dollars in the future."

"You need to find an agent to buy an international domain name. Why don't you ask your Aunt Zhang to buy it? She's incredibly resourceful." Xia Xiaoxiao released her grip on his lips, letting him speak.

"It's not the right time yet. Let me make a few more stunning appearances first. Can you help me recall which domain names are valuable? Then I'll have Auntie buy them all at once."

Xu Qingfan was not afraid of troubling Zhang Chunxue. As a minor, if he wanted to start a business, he would always need an agent. At present, his godmother and Aunt Zhang were the most suitable.

"We'll see. You might as well just buy a small power plant and mine BTB inside. BTB is easy to mine at the beginning." Xia Xiaoxiao pinched his lips again.

"If you want to grow bigger and stronger, use the BTB you've acquired as a platform, and then your aunt in the free United States can be the legal representative of the platform."

"Let's not talk about such high-level topics. You know I don't understand them. Let's talk about my first novel instead. What do you think I should write about?" Xu Qingfan asked, removing her hand.

"Is that even a question? Just write romance novels without thinking!" Xia Xiaoxiao said bluntly.

"Online novels won't work. I want to go for a high-class route. Besides, I'm afraid I'll have bad luck in my old age if I plagiarize 'Love Continent'," Xu Qingfan said helplessly.

"You can't even write The Three-Body Problem, yet you still want to be highbrow. You might as well just write children's literature."

"That works too. I really enjoy reading Pipilu and the Magic Cube Building. What do you think about me writing Coco?"

Since Xu Qingfan copied the line "Death is not the end, forgetting is," he must be interested in "Coco," but localizing the story would be quite difficult.

"That's a good idea. You know about the Ghost Festival, right? We can change the Day of the Dead to the Ghost Festival, and you can figure out how to localize the other settings yourself," Xia Xiaoxiao casually suggested.

The Ghost Festival is not a commemoration of ancestors, but of the countless soldiers and compatriots who bravely sacrificed their lives during the War of Resistance against Japan. However, in recent years, very few people in the Guangdong region have celebrated the Ghost Festival.

The two discussed the new book for a while longer. It was already past six o'clock in the evening, and Xia Xiaoxiao still didn't want to go home, so Xu Qingfan had no choice but to take her back with him.

"Godmother, we're back!"

After getting the key from Xia Xiaoxiao and opening the door, Xu Qingfan first peeked inside to observe secretly.

"Xiao Fan, where did you guys go? I almost called Ruan Wen's house," Lin Jing said as she dried her hands on her apron and walked to the kitchen doorway.

"Hehe, I just went to Ruan Wen's house to play for a while and lost track of time." Xu Qingfan smiled apologetically, then asked, "Didn't Uncle Xia say he'd be back today? Why haven't I seen him?"

"Don't even mention him. Your Uncle Xia got a phone call and then rushed out without even eating dinner."

Xia Xiaoxiao's ears perked up. Upon hearing that Xia Guofu wasn't home, the discomfort she felt instantly vanished, and she pushed Xu Qingfan into the house with her.

"Mom, I'm hungry!"

"Okay, have some fruit first, dinner will be ready soon."

Lin Jing returned to the kitchen with a smile. Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance and remained silent for a moment.

"I just hope he never comes back," Xia Xiaoxiao muttered softly.

Xu Qingfan wanted to say that you shouldn't say things like that, it's like cursing someone to have an accident, especially since Uncle Xia drives a big truck.

However, he knew that Xia Xiaoxiao didn't mean it that way.

The two returned to their room to discuss their secrets. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that Xia Xiaoxiao's bed was more comfortable to lie on, and once he lay down, he didn't want to get up.

"I'm reminded of a debate topic I saw before: Does forgiving the trauma of one's family of origin mean forgiving one's childhood self or betraying one's childhood self?"

"First of all, I didn't have any childhood trauma. I just... I just hate that they lied to me..." Xia Xiaoxiao's voice grew softer and softer.

"Why don't you just be honest with Uncle Xia and tell him you saw the three of them shopping together, and that you know everything?" Xu Qingfan suggested.

"You should be honest with him for me. I have nothing to say to him." Xia Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and lay on the desk.

"Okay, we'll follow Uncle Xia another day when we have time, and take pictures to prove he's cheating. Then we'll make sure he leaves with nothing, and he, his mistress, and his child will starve!"

"Little one?"

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't react. Xu Qingfan went over to take a look and found that she had fallen asleep on the desk at some point.

......

I slept without any dreams.

The next day.

Today, it was unusual that Xu Qingfan woke up Xia Xiaoxiao, who was still sleeping in. After quickly brushing their teeth and washing their faces, the two of them grabbed their keys and some change and ran downstairs.

Sure enough, a Buick MPV was already parked downstairs, waiting for them.

Xu Qingfan led four dogs from the neighborhood to the car. A driver got out of the car and helped open the trunk.

Lin Wanning told me on the phone yesterday to bring all the dogs in the neighborhood and take them to his secret base to play. I just don't know where Wanning's secret base is.

"Thank you, Uncle."

"Don't be shy, little one."

After getting in the car, the driver drove quietly. Xia Xiaoxiao rested her head on his shoulder to catch up on sleep, so Xu Qingfan had to take out his MP3 player and give her one of his earphones.

The morning sun was shining brightly, and soon the cheerful melody of "Seven Mile Fragrance" filled my headphones.

"The sparrows outside the window are chattering on the telephone pole."

"What you said really evokes a summery feeling~"

But then again, it's already National Day, so why is it still summer?
