The New Year’s Eve dinner lasted until eight o’clock in the evening, with many dishes still remaining on the table, only that everyone couldn’t eat any more.
"I’m so full, burp~"
"What should we do with all these dishes?" Xia Xiaoxiao wiped her mouth with a napkin and looked to Xu Qingfan and asked.
"We’ll leave them for Little White to have a few more meals, we’re all going back tomorrow." He glanced at the dinner table; actually, it wasn’t too bad -- the seafood and other expensive ingredients were all taken care of, only the chicken, pork, and greens were left, which were perfect for feeding the dog.
"Little White’s going to turn into a pig!" Thinking of Little White’s solid feel, Xiao Ruawen laughed.
"Hahaha..."
After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner, they buzzed about like busy bees — the kitchen had a dishwasher installed not long ago, so they only needed to scrape the leftover food from the dishes before putting them in for a wash with the press of a button.
By the time Xu Qingfan came back from taking out the trash, the six of them were sitting in the living room again.
Wu Lingyu had already brewed some hot tea; the scent wafted through the house, a nice touch for a post-dinner drink in front of the TV.
"This is great~" Lin Wanning looked at their carefully decorated home and felt inexplicably happy.
"It’s a pity we can only stay for one night, we can’t come back until after school starts." Xiao Ruawen said with a bit of regret.
"Staying one night is still very good, ah, on such a long night, do you want to watch movies, or watch movies, or watch movies?" Xu Qingfan said, laughing.
"Watch more movies?"
"No way, there are no good movies left to watch!"
"Brother Qing Fan, let’s continue playing Truth or Dare!" Lin Wanning clearly still remembered the topic that Xu Qingfan had avoided last time; this time, she was determined to get the answer she wanted to hear.
"This is good!" Xiao Ruawen clapped in agreement.
"Truth or Dare, let’s play!"
"I’m in." Xia Xiaoxiao said.
"Then I’ll play too!"
Before Xu Qingfan could even speak up, the five girls had already reached a unanimous decision.
"Uh... why don’t we play The Three Kingdoms Kill, the God characters are recently out." Xu Qingfan was sweating bullets.
"We don’t want to!"
"Hahaha~"
The five girls spoke loudly in unison.
Three minutes later.
"Brother Fan, go take a shower upstairs!" Xiao Ruawen was the last one to take her change of clothes into the bathroom, poking half her body out to tell him before closing the door.
"Got it, got it!"
"Ah~ Wanning, don’t get my clothes wet!"
"Ruan Wen, yours are so big, let me wash them for you~"
"Haha, no, don’t come over here!"
"Yu, your skin is so smooth...."
"Mhm~"
Listening to the seductive sounds coming from the bathroom, Xu Qingfan’s mind involuntarily conjured up some images that were not suitable for children. He shamefully swallowed his saliva.
[When will this brazen way of living ever come to an end!]
He went to the kitchen, drank a cup of cold water to calm his nerves, and then went up to the second floor to take a shower in another bathroom.
Stepping into the shower and stripping down, Xu Qingfan unexpectedly discovered that the bald spot on his calf had started to grow fuzz, "No wonder it’s been feeling itchy lately." He muttered to himself.
Boys usually take quick showers. He took ten minutes to finish bathing and put his dirty clothes in the washing machine. When he came back downstairs, the five girls were still in the bathroom.
"Brother Qing Fan, is that you coming down?" Lin Wanning heard the footsteps and asked, standing barefoot behind the door.
"Yes, hurry up with your showers!"
"Brother Qing Fan, can you order some takeout on the computer? We want beer!" Once they confirmed it was Xu Qingfan outside, the girls inside relaxed.
"What’s so great about beer? Didn’t we already try Pearl River beer last time?"
"No way~ The internet says Budweiser tastes good, and the beer last time wasn’t even cold, Brother Qing Fan, please buy it!"
"Yeah, it’s not every day we celebrate the New Year, Brother Fan, just buy it once!"
"Could it be that someone is worried about getting drunk and embarrassing themselves?"
Xia Xiaoxiao, who knew Xu Qingfan best, hit the nail on the head with her remark, prompting him to immediately say: "Haha! Even if you get drunk, I won’t!!"
The bathroom quickly filled again with the girls’ laughter and playfulness: "It’s my turn to scrub the back!"
"Gently~ Ah!"
Xu Qingfan shook his head, resigned, opened the computer in the first-floor gym, logged onto the official website of Good Taste Takeout, and started picking out products.
Half a month had passed, and now more vendors had joined Good Taste Takeout. Remembering Aunt Zhang who had been running around for this matter made him feel a pang of heartache.
[She really is the number one aunt!] Xu Qingfan could only keep his gratitude for Aunt Zhang in his heart, planning to repay her slowly when he had the chance.
After buying beer, peanuts, snacks, and also placing an order on Good Taste Milk Tea for six fruit teas, Xu Qingfan had a feeling that the girls would probably only take a sip or two of beer before giving up.
About ten minutes later, the takeout arrived, and after Xu Qingfan went to pick it up, another seven or eight minutes passed before the five girls emerged from the bathroom, one after another.
In the prime of youth, the girls after bathing were wearing only their thin nightgowns, their hands soft, their skin like creamy jade, like freshly blossomed lotuses.
Seeing the snacks and beer already laid out on the coffee table, they excitedly ran over.
Once Wu Lingyu tossed the dirty clothes into the washing machine and returned, their ’crossing-year’ pajama party officially began.
"Brother Qing Fan, why did you buy milk tea too?" Lin Wanning opened an iced Budweiser, took a sip, and her previously relaxed eyebrows instantly furrowed into a cute line. After belching from the unfamiliar taste, she commented: "Burp~ It still tastes so weird!"
"I knew 100% you wouldn’t like beer, so I bought this especially, thoughtful, right!"
