Han Wenwen's Plan

Han Wenwen blinked her fox eyes as if it were only natural. "I found it in novels. Why are you reacting so strongly? There's nothing inappropriate for minors in there."

Little He Qing let out an "ah," not understanding. "This still doesn't count as inappropriate for minors?"

"Let me see." Han Wenwen took the book back and looked it over. "Nope, there isn't, because I wrote it all myself. In my eyes, the content of this whole book can be summed up in four words: perfectly innocent."

Little He Qing didn't dare agree. She carefully hugged the pillow and secretly looked at the contents of the book again, only to feel more and more embarrassed the longer she read.

Han Wenwen put the chips aside, licked the chip dust from her fingers, then pulled out a wet wipe from beside her and wiped her fingers. "In my opinion, the reason your relationship with Lin Zhengran has stalled is because the two of you are too familiar with each other as childhood sweethearts. Have you ever seen a saying online? The more familiar someone is, the harder it is to make a move on them."

"But Jiang Xueli has known Lin Zhengran for many years too. She's the same as me."

Han Wenwen leaned against the wall, her nonexistent fox ears twitching as she offered advice to her bestie. "Although I don't know exactly what happened between Jiang Xueli and Lin Zhengran during this period, I can boldly infer that Jiang Xueli must have done something recently that she couldn't have done before. It changed her relationship with Lin Zhengran and gave Lin Zhengran a sense of novelty."

Little He Qing blinked blankly.

She didn't understand.

Han Wenwen looked at her. "Otherwise, when would a tsundere ever get the upper hand? All I can say is that I underestimated Jiang Xueli a little. Just like you, she has an absolute fixation on Lin Zhengran, the kind of fixation where it has to be him."

Little He Qing continued blinking blankly. While those words were about Jiang Xueli, they were also about her, and a blush likewise appeared on her little face.

Han Wenwen continued explaining, "So if you want the relationship to progress, you need to make a change. That's why I made this secret manual for you. I'll read you a few entries..."

She casually found a page. "For example, on this page I wrote that the next time you go to his house, don't just stand there stupidly or sit there stupidly. Instead, after you sit down, you need to make a move to show yourself off. It doesn't need to be too complicated. For example, after sitting down, tuck the hair by your ear back and sneak a look at him."

After saying that, she even demonstrated it. She brushed aside the loose hair by her ear, her fox eyes giving He Qing a charming glance as she said gently, "Like this. Doesn't it have a nice atmosphere?"

Little He Qing felt that when Han Wenwen did this action, it wasn't too much, but as soon as she imagined herself doing it in front of him, she felt so embarrassed she could crawl into the sewer.

Han Wenwen said, "Another example: when eating, if you don't mind food Lin Zhengran has eaten, you can put the things he's eaten into your mouth little bite by little bite. This kind of intimate action has an unexpected attraction to boys, and it can be used repeatedly."

Little He Qing buried her head completely in the pillow. Her brain had already begun to overload from shame and smoke.

The boiler exploded.

Th-this already counted as indirectly doing that, right?

"And another, another, another example, this one. Since you've already decided on him, it's fine to appropriately do some slightly shy actions too. For example, when the atmosphere feels right, pretend to accidentally sit on his lap, then secretly give his ear a light bite?"

Little He Qing really couldn't take it anymore. She lay face-down on the bed and covered herself with the blanket. "Wenwen, stop talking, stop talking! These things aren't things people our age can do at all! They're too embarrassing!"

"Then switch it to blowing in his ear?"

Her voice came muffled from under the blanket. "Isn't that all the same?! I can't possibly do it! Even if I threw away all shame and did it, he would definitely get angry! He's very fierce. He'll knock me on the head!"

Han Wenwen saw Little Qing hiding under the blanket, wrapped up like a giant silkworm cocoon, and imagined the things she had just described. "It's not that bad, is it? These things don't even count as kissing or hugging. I only wrote them down because I thought they weren't going too far. If I had a boy I liked, I'd think doing this was perfectly normal. I'd definitely be dying to seduce him eight hundred times a day."

Little Qing Qing secretly poked her head out from under the blanket, her pure, clean eyes speechless. "Wenwen, you've already been corrupted by novels. You're not pure anymore."

Han Wenwen burst out laughing and stroked Little Qing Qing's head. "Qing Qing, you're seriously adorable. I really don't know how Lin Zhengran manages to hold back. But if you don't make any changes at all, you'll lose, you know. Besides, what's wrong with doing a few intimate things with the boy you like?"

Seeing Little He Qing start to waver, she asked word by word in a soul-seizing voice, "Want to try? Maybe it'll make your relationship progress."

Little He Qing bit her lip. After thinking for a long time, she buried her face in the bedding again, but then suddenly remembered something. "Right, Wenwen, let's not talk about these things for now. There's something else I want to discuss with you."

"If something's up, just say it. Do we still need to be polite with each other?"

The giant silkworm cocoon sat up and spread its wings. Han Wenwen understood at once and wrapped herself in the blanket together with Little He Qing, their two heads sticking out adorably. "Although I'm not in the same class as Lin Zhengran, I know that besides Jiang Xueli, there should usually be other girls who like him too, right? After all, he's handsome, good at studying, strong in every aspect, and has been very popular since elementary school."

Han Wenwen admitted this point. "That's true. I've also noticed that quite a few girls in class secretly like him, and even girls from other classes come to talk to him."

"C-can you secretly help me keep an eye on him? Just... you understand what I mean, right?"

Han Wenwen thought for a moment. "Little Qing Qing means you want him to talk to other girls less, right? That's easy. But I have to warn you first. I'm his deskmate now, so if I keep more of an eye on him in the future, there might be some rumors about us in class. You're not allowed to get angry."

Little He Qing smiled and gave an "mm." "Of course. I'm the one asking you to do it, after all. As payment, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"It's a deal!"

The two besties hooked pinkies.

Han Wenwen deliberately asked wickedly, "So what do you say about what I mentioned just now?"

Little He Qing was so embarrassed she had no face to meet anyone. "I'll think about it. Let me think about it!"

In the end, Little He Qing gave in. It was just that things clearly didn't go the way Han Wenwen had imagined. Some things worked when she did them, but when Little He Qing did them, it was only wasted effort.

So ever since the two besties made this series of plans today, during the last half month before winter break, the only one who suffered was Lin Zhengran.

For example, a few days later, Lin Zhengran discovered that the previously obedient Little He Qing had begun acting up in front of him for no reason.

For example, while sitting perfectly fine beside him, she suddenly started scratching the hair at her temples again and again for no reason.

Lin Zhengran asked, "Is your head itchy? How long has it been since you washed your hair?"

Little He Qing gave an awkward "ah" and immediately stopped her hand. "My head isn't itchy... I just... wu wu."

Failure. Cross this one off in the little notebook.

Another example was one weekend, when Little He Qing went to his house to play, and Lin Zhengran opened a box of cookies.

He took a bite, and Little He Qing snatched it over, holding it in her hand with a conflicted look.

Because she knew this counted as indirectly, well, that, and she was so embarrassed she simply could not bring herself to bite into it.

Lin Zhengran had no idea what this Silly Girl was trying to do, so he picked up another piece and took a bite. Little He Qing once again took the piece he had eaten from and held it in her hand.

After this happened several times in a row.

Seeing her clutching a handful of half-eaten biscuits, Lin Zhengran was speechless to the extreme. "Are you a hamster? Hoarding food right in front of me? There are so many in the box, so why do you keep snatching mine? Give them back!"

With that, he rewarded her with a knuckle on the head.

Little He Qing clutched her aching head, looking like she wanted to cry but had no tears, and returned all the biscuits to Lin Zhengran.

"Sorry."

Failure. This one was crossed out too.

As for blowing into his ear, how could Little He Qing possibly have the nerve to do something like that? She chose to settle for the next best thing and blow at his hair instead.

So one day, while Lin Zhengran was sitting on the school steps thinking about something, he noticed He Qing standing behind him and blowing with a whoosh, messing up his hairstyle.

He fixed it with his hand, and He Qing blew it messy again. He fixed it, and she messed it up again.

Veins bulged on Lin Zhengran's forehead.

It was hard. His fist was hard! "He Qing! Have you been going crazy lately or what?! Stand at attention in front of me and take your beating!" Seeing that she jumped in fright but still obediently came over and stood there, he rewarded her with a Head Flick.

Little He Qing clutched her head and crouched on the ground, looking pitiful and aggrieved. It's no use at all. Not a single one worked, and all I've done is make him angry every day.

And He Qing was not the only one acting crazy lately. There was also a certain Han Fox. Neither of the two Best Friends was easy to deal with.
