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

Chapter 18, 11th of the chapter speaks.

With Zhang Yiyi joining us, our leisurely summer vacation has become even more fulfilling.

Zhang Chunxue seemed to have no job, as she was responsible for picking up and dropping off Wan Ning and Yi Yi at the martial arts school every day. Lin Wan Ning, who originally only came to the martial arts school in the afternoon, now stayed at the martial arts school all day long.

Having Qingfan by my side for most of the day makes me incredibly happy.

Zhang Chunxue would also take them out for fancy meals and buy them toys from time to time.

In his previous life, Xu Qingfan would never have dared to dream of having such a childhood.

Just like that song says, your childhood and my childhood seem different!

Time always flies when you're having a good time.

In the blink of an eye, July came to an end, and Xu Qingfan's birthday arrived.

......

......

July 31st, sunny and extremely hot.

We agreed to take a day off today, so I don't need to go to the martial arts gym during the day.

Xu Qingfan was sleeping soundly on the cool bamboo mat when he felt a tickling sensation on the tip of his nose. He opened his eyes again.

Lin Wanning had somehow appeared at his house and was now using a beauty filter on him, tickling his nose with strands of her hair.

Xiao Ruanwen was squatting at the foot of the bed, tickling the soles of his feet with a calligraphy brush. However, Xu Qingfan's feet were not very ticklish, so he only noticed it now.

"Hehe (#^.^#)~ Good morning, Qingfan-gege!"

After Lin Wanning noticed that he was awake, she pinched his lips with her hand, making his lips pout, turning them into the same sausage lips as in Ashes of Time.

Being woken up by someone is usually very annoying, but seeing Wan Ning's cute smile, Xu Qingfan found it hard to stay angry. He couldn't very well kick Ruan Wen at the foot of the bed, could he?

He wanted to live a little longer.

"Happy birthday, Xiao Fan!" Xiao Ruanwen thought Xu Qingfan hadn't noticed him, so she sneakily moved to the head of the bed and suddenly popped her head out, startling him.

Xu Qingfan placed his hand on her head; it wasn't round enough, Wan Ning's was still easier to touch.

"Ha~ Good morning, when did you guys arrive?" Xu Qingfan handed his hand to Lin Wanning, who used both hands to pull him out of bed.

"We just arrived not long ago. Aunt Zhang and Yi Yi were chatting with Aunt Lin Jing at Xiao Xiao's house. We took the key from Xiao Xiao and then sneaked over."

Xiao Ruanwen usually speaks with a strong voice, but now she speaks in a low voice, which has a strangely cute feel to it.

"Yes, yes!" Lin Wanning nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Fan, hurry up and get up and brush your teeth. I'm going back to see if Xiao Xiao is done." Xiao Ruanwen rubbed his face and tiptoed out of the room.

"Brother Qingfan~" As soon as Ruan Wen left, Lin Wanning stopped pretending and rushed into Xu Qingfan's arms to "suck him in".

"Brother Qingfan smells so good!"

"I don't smell nice on me at all, but I can't smell it myself."

"It smells so good, even better than Mom's perfume!"

Xu Qingfan was both amused and exasperated. Lin Wanning suddenly raised her head and looked at him with her blinking eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"I dreamt about Brother Qingfan last night. Brother Qingfan, you asked me with a smile, 'Hehe~ why are you staring at me?'"

"Like this?"

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Qingfan felt his heart melting, and he really wanted to sing: I'll pluck the stars for you, I'll pluck the moon for you, I'll give you everything you want, even my phone chat history.

Lin Wanning's ears suddenly twitched. She thought she heard footsteps coming from the living room, so she quickly got away from Qingfan.

When I turned around again, they were standing at the door of the room.

"Good morning, Yi Yi." Xu Qingfan saw her too and waved to Yi Yi.

Zhang Yiyi pursed her lips, gave him a smile, and two dimples bloomed on her cheeks.

Xu Qingfan and Lin Wanning walked out of the room together. As they passed the door, Xu Qingfan habitually reached out and patted Yi Yi's head.

Just as he was about to step away, he was suddenly pulled.

Xu Qingfan turned around and saw Zhang Yiyi tugging at his clothes, her mouth opening and closing, her chest heaving violently.

Before Xu Qingfan could even ask what was going on, Zhang Yiyi started making a gurgling sound in her throat. She suddenly tilted her head back, revealing the veins on her neck, and her face turned bright red.

After a long, long time, so long that the air seemed to freeze, she suddenly tensed her whole body and, as if using all her strength, uttered a sound from her mouth:

"Gurgle...gurgle...caw...caw..."

"Coo coo...caw caw..."

"Coo coo coo..."

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

The first time it was blurry, but the second and third times the sound became clearer and clearer, more and more coherent.

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, she seemed to lose all her strength and staggered. Fortunately, Xu Qingfan caught her in time so she didn't fall.

Zhang Yi's eyes were filled with tears, and her temples were damp with sweat. The sunlight fell on her tear-stained eyelashes, like the bright moon over the vast sea, and the tears of a mermaid turning into pearls.

Looking at her stubborn smile, Xu Qingfan suddenly felt like crying too.

"Gurgle gurgle."

"Gurgle!"

However, hearing Wan Ning's "gurgling" sound from the side made him hold back his tears.

Lin Wanning was very excited. Yi Yi was finally going to join their Guga Cult! That was great!

Zhang Yi opened her lips, wanting to respond to Wan Ning, but her throat was too sore to make a sound.

"Okay, Yi Yi is already the best. Sit on the sofa for a bit, I'll go brush my teeth." Xu Qingfan wiped the sweat from her forehead and helped her sit down on the sofa.

Zhang Yiyi kept staring at his face until Xu Qingfan went into the bathroom, and she still couldn't bear to look away.

Lin Wanning looked at Yi Yi, then at Brother Qingfan, and finally decided that Brother Qingfan was more important. After saying "Goo-ga" to Yi Yi, he slipped away to the kitchen to find Xu Qingfan.

Don't ask why I went to the kitchen; when we were renovating, we put the bathroom next to the kitchen to save time.

"Brother Qingfan, is Yiyi unable to speak?" The bathroom door was unlocked, and Lin Wanning walked in and asked in a low voice.

Xu Qingfan looked up at the mirror and said with a smile, "I don't think so. Yi Yi just said 'gu gu ga ga'. I think Yi Yi probably doesn't like to talk."

"Is that so?" Lin Wanning tilted his head, suddenly becoming insecure again.

"Of course! Yi Yi just started 'cooing and quacking' a moment ago. If we coo and quack with Yi Yi more often, she'll start to like talking," Xu Qingfan said with a smile.

"Gurgle gurgle! (Brother Qingfan is right)"

Xu Qingfan had something on his mind. He had refrained from inquiring about Zhang Yiyi's situation for some time, but after what had just happened, he was determined to find out more from Aunt Zhang.

What could be causing a child to be unable to speak?

Xu Qingfan quickly finished washing up and pushed Wan Ning out of the toilet.

"Brother Qingfan, why are you pushing Ningning like that?"

"I need to pee."

"Ohhh!"

Click, the door was locked from the inside.

"Shh-"

"Wan Ning, can you please stop booing?"

"Oh, oh, oh!"
