Chapter 8, Does she have a boyfriend?

Mina looked for a while, and suddenly curved the corners of her mouth, smiling as she said: "Who knows, perhaps it was provoked."

Xu Haibo turned to look at Mina with a smile, expressing his disdain with a hum.

Xu Haibo furrowed his brow slightly, feeling an inexplicable sense of discomfort in his heart

What do you want to do? Xu Haibo had a look of vigilance on his face

Mina laughed: "Then what are you stretching your neck to look at? I don't believe you haven't seen anything."

As Xu Haibo stared blankly at Xu Ruofan's back, Mina leaned over the edge of the pool and laughed, "Are you looking at the person or at the chest?"

Unable to avoid it, Xu Ruofan had no choice but to summon all of his confidence and walk towards them with a smile

Xu Ruofan smiled and shook her head: "You all have fun, but Second Senior Brother is still more suited for soaking in hot springs." After saying this, she waved goodbye to Mina and left

This is not a conflict, who says that having a boyfriend means one cannot like other boys

Mina said this as she jumped into the water, calling Xu Ruofan to join her in the water

"Go ahead, it's in the bathroom," Xu Ruofan said, "Have you all returned?"

"You can say whatever you want," Mina laughed and said, "He loves me, of course he doesn't believe it. All those who speak ill of me are just jealous of us and want to sow discord."

Then you deserve it, girls hate being called fat

Mina laughed and said: "Where did you learn that? The coach was not competent. Back then, the coach would just throw me into the water, and if I dared to touch the edge, I would get hit with a bamboo pole... It's fine, come down, and I will teach you with Haibo. Haibo is also somewhat professional, I guarantee your safety"

It is likely that, undoubtedly, Xu Ruofan's face turns red when she smiles, though it is unclear what was mentioned that could have caused such laughter.

Mina said: "Don't hum, it's really possible. Sister Fanfan is not that kind of petty person. In the past, when you joked with her, she never got angry, right? This time, she got angry over just one sentence, which is a bit unreasonable, isn't it? Unless she likes you. If a girl likes a guy and he says he is fat, that would indeed be quite hurtful and upsetting."

Mina entered the room and said, "May I borrow your toner? I just realized that I didn't close the cap of my toner properly, and it leaked all over."

Xu Ruofan said: "I actually envy you. Having a larger chest is not good at all; nothing looks good when you wear it, it makes you look really fat. You see, I usually don't wear loose clothes; I have to wear fitted ones. Back in high school, I wore a uniform every day, oh my goodness, it was unbearable, I looked like an old lady... Also, when running the 800 meters, it was the hardest. I was bouncing in the front, exhausting myself, sometimes I had to support myself with both arms like this."

If it were me, would you also go to the trouble of trying to please me

Xu Haibo was taken aback for a moment and blurted out: "Who told you she has a boyfriend? Did she tell you herself?"

Xu Haibo did not respond, and he stretched his neck to look inside.

"Go ahead." Xu Ruofan replied, walking to the window and lifting the curtain to look outside. It was a bit late; although Mina's mother was watching, her parents and Mina were not by her side, and she was somewhat worried about her younger brother.

Because of Mina's words this afternoon, seeing them whispering mysteriously now, Xu Haibo couldn't help but think more, wondering if they were discussing matters of romance, sharing their respective love stories with each other

Mina came out of the bathroom and saw Xu Ruofan standing by the window looking outside. She leaned over and said, "What are you looking at?"

He does not know where he offended her, just because he made a joke at her expense? That surely cannot be the case. They have teased each other many times, and she has always retorted; she has never truly been upset.

Mina saw Xu Ruofan demonstrating the movements and laughed, saying: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, our classmate Du Ying runs in this posture. If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have known the reason. Haha, but it is indeed an enviable trouble. By the way, during class, she always rests her chest on the desk. She sits right next to me, and I often tell her, 'Are you trying to provoke me?'"

After dinner, the adults gathered to play mahjong. Mina's mother and Wu Lei's mother both expressed their dislike for card games and asked the children if they wanted to go bowling. Xu Ruocheng and Mi Yue were very enthusiastic, while Xu Haibo and Mina said it was up to them. Only Xu Ruofan expressed disinterest and decided to return to his room to rest alone

Or perhaps it was being stared at so closely by her that Xu Haibo inexplicably felt a bit flustered, taking a step back and replying: "You know she has a boyfriend, yet you still say you like me."

Two people, laughing and joking, took their change of clothes to the shower. In the changing room, while undressing, the two young girls inevitably observed each other's figures. After a round of comparison, they both expressed admiration for each other's physiques

She stretched her neck and glanced down the gravel path leading to the bowling alley, but saw no one. However, she did notice Xu Haibo playing basketball on the court by the roadside, all alone. He dribbled, took jump shots, and drove to the basket, seemingly not tiring at all, as he hadn't taken a break for quite some time.

Xu Haibo jumped into the water: "How can a little girl have such a dirty mind"

Xu Ruofan took a nap until 3 o'clock. After getting up, she quickly freshened up and took her swimsuit to soak in the hot spring

"Let's go swimming together, while there are fewer people around," Mina enthusiastically invited

Upon exiting the hot spring changing room, one is greeted by a large swimming pool. Most of the guests come here for the hot springs, so at this moment, there are only about seven or eight people in the expansive pool. Xu Haibo and Mina are sitting by the poolside chatting, both of them are wet, clearly having been swimming for a while.

Is that so? I remember you went to learn when you were in elementary or middle school

Xu Haibo strongly suspects that Xu Ruofan is experiencing her menstrual period, leading to emotional instability. Clearly, she was no longer angry with him last night; during their dinner at the night market, he even treated her to play the claw machine for quite a while. However, early this morning, she seemed to have some emotional distance from him again. When he spoke to her during breakfast, she merely responded with noncommittal sounds, completely avoiding eye contact and not giving him a proper look. Given how much she enjoyed eating ice pops last night, it should not be related to her menstrual cycle.

Xu Haibo turned around and leaned over the edge of the swimming pool, peering inside once more, but did not see Xu Ruofan's figure.

After driving for over an hour, the two families arrived at the hot spring resort hotel, where the other two families they had arranged to meet were already present

It is impossible, as there is a room in between. If anyone were to hear, it would be her parents and younger brother sleeping next to her. Thinking about it this way, she felt a sense of dread; if she were to accidentally utter his name or even hum a sound that her family could hear, it would truly feel like a death sentence.

Xu Ruofan and her mother lived in the same room. After returning home, they watched a movie. As the movie was nearing its end, they heard someone knocking at the door. When they opened the door, it was Mina.

Xu Ruofan smiled and said, "Then I must thank Uncle Mi for going."

Xu Haibo pondered for an entire morning and also probed Xu Ruofan throughout the morning, yet in the end, he remained utterly perplexed

As Xu Ruofan walked towards the two of them, he unconsciously assessed Xu Haibo's physique, which was far better than what he had imagined in his dreams. He had loved swimming since childhood and had even received some semi-professional training. With a standard build of broad shoulders and a narrow waist forming an inverted triangle, coupled with his tall stature, his physique stood out even more. Sitting side by side with Mina by the pool, they resembled an advertisement from a fashion magazine, perfectly matched.

So, Nafan Fan has a boyfriend now, so you don't need to worry about her anymore

"No, I cannot swim," Xu Ruofan replied

Xu Ruofan smiled in deep agreement: "I have done the same, it's just a subconscious action. When I sit down, the table happens to be in that position, so I just place it there casually, making it easy."

The two siblings, Wu Lei and his sister, are abroad and did not come with their parents. Although Xu Ruofan had anticipated this, he felt somewhat disappointed.

"No, I came back by myself. My mom is still there playing with my sister and your brother; I estimate they will be back soon." Mina said in the bathroom, "I used your essence and cream directly, as I also wanted to change to a new set. Let's see if this one of yours is good to use or not."

Mina envies Xu Ruofan's ample bosom and curvy hips, which can be described as a perfect S-curve, while she herself has a flat chest and a flat bottom, lacking any appeal.

"Tsk tsk." Mina laughed, "Why do I feel like you are trying to win over your girlfriend?"

Mina stepped forward, gazing at Xu Haibo with a smile and said, "How is it? A bit unexpected? A little jealous?"

Why

Thus, from now on, let us play together and not pay attention to her. If she gets angry or jealous, it indicates that she likes you

Xu Ruofan tilted her chin towards the basketball court and said: "Do boys really have so much energy? They swam for half a day and still have the energy to play basketball. I haven't done anything all day and I still feel tired."

Xu Ruofan not only avoided Xu Haibo, but also felt a bit embarrassed when seeing Fang Zhe and An Ran during breakfast due to the sounds heard last night. It was only when departing that he told the two of them to keep in touch and that they should find opportunities to go out and have fun together.

If you say someone is fat when they are not, are you not being rude

Xu Ruofan envied Mina's tall figure, narrow shoulders, slim waist, and long legs, which were truly model-like. Standing together, her legs appeared short and thick.

I also do not know, it seems that just because I said she was fat yesterday, no, it was the day before yesterday, she has been giving me the cold shoulder for the past two days

"Why do I feel like your chest has grown again? Is it a C or a D cup? I'm so envious," Mina remarked while looking at Xu Ruofan's chest.

Do not joke with me

The two girls are of similar ages and are well acquainted, always having endless topics to discuss. After taking a shower and completing their skincare routine, it was already noon, and they went together to a buffet restaurant for lunch. Due to the longer duration of their massage in the morning, they did not encounter any other companions during their meal. Mina asked Xu Ruofan what time she would get up in the afternoon to go to the hot springs together. Xu Ruofan replied that there was no need to wait for her; she would go ahead if she got up first, and they could meet at the hot spring.

Xu Ruofan suddenly felt reluctant to go over, thinking that standing with the two of them at her height was simply inviting trouble. Just as she hesitated about whether to pretend not to see them and sneak past, Mina called out to her: "Over here, Sister Fanfan."

Friends should not provoke each other to anger, and it is best not to disregard it casually

"How can I tease you? I am helping you with a rational analysis. Matters of the heart are quite mysterious; just because you didn't like her before doesn't mean you won't like her now or in the future." Mina thought for a moment and smiled, saying, "How about I help you try her out?"

Xu Haibo said: "I feel like she is angry with me"

Xu Haibo innocently said: "I was just joking, she is not fat at all, she must know I was joking, what is there to be angry about?"

I turned back to tell Shang Tao and see whether he agrees with what you said

You have a boyfriend now, do you still need me to comfort you

So confident?

Xu Ruofan felt a sense of unease in the morning after unconsciously fantasizing about Xu Haibo in her dream. She was reluctant to speak to him, but Haibo seemed to sense something, constantly lingering around her and subtly probing her with his words. This made her increasingly anxious, and she even seriously considered whether she had accidentally called his name in her dream and that he might have heard it.

Come on, I'm here trying to talk to her, and she is ignoring me. If I ignore her too, wouldn't that just make things worse

Upon careful consideration, it seems that she has been holding onto her phone incessantly these past two days. Particularly the night before last, when even the gaming console could not capture her attention. She sat on the kang, engrossed in her phone, chatting merrily with someone, and it appeared that she was often sneaking smiles.

Xu Ruofan's unintentional joke was heard by Xu Haibo, who felt that she must still be upset about him calling her fat. What has happened to her? Why has she suddenly become so petty? He couldn't help but tease her

As soon as Xu Ruofan returned home and put her things away, Mina knocked on the door to find her, saying that her father had booked a complete luxury beauty and body care package for the two of them, just waiting for her arrival

Mina said: "There is no need to thank him, my dad is also generous with others, a connection, it was given for free, they went to the hot springs after taking a shower, let's enjoy it first and talk later"

If it were any other time, Xu Haibo would definitely take the opportunity to tease Xu Ruofan a bit and make a joke. However, he was unsure if she was still angry with him, so he naturally did not dare to provoke her further. He cautiously initiated a conversation: "Are you going to study? I will support you, and I guarantee you won't drown."

Mina's family is out in full force. This year, Mina is also in her third year of high school, attending the same school as Xu Haibo but in a different class. Her mother passed away due to illness when she was young. After her father remarried, he had another daughter, Mi Yue, who is of a similar age to Xu Ruocheng. Although she is a stepmother, Mina has a cheerful personality and has always maintained a harmonious relationship with her stepmother and younger sister.

Does she really have a boyfriend? No way, she hasn't mentioned it to me, and she doesn't seem like it either

Several families booked a large private room for dinner. The adults were just starting to enjoy their drinks, while the children had already eaten their fill. Xu Ruocheng and Mi Yue were playing video games together, while Xu Ruofan and Mi Na sat next to each other, engaged in a conversation about skincare, nail art, and various celebrity gossip. Xu Haibo was scrolling through his phone, occasionally glancing up at Xu Ruofan, watching her chat happily with Mi Na. The two would sometimes whisper to each other, followed by a shared, knowing laugh.

Mina, with a mysterious smile, said: "There is another possibility, that Fan Fan has developed feelings for you."

Xu Ruofan said awkwardly: "I have studied, but I haven't mastered it. I have been holding onto the ladder by the pool and haven't dared to go into the water"

"This is how confident I am." Mina raised her chin and smiled proudly at Xu Haibo before walking away
