By the time they returned home, it was nearly twelve o'clock.
After ten o'clock, the sun had already become scorchingly hot. After walking all morning, the backs of the five girls were soaked with sweat, so the first thing they did upon returning home was to turn on the air conditioner and then each cracked open a can of chilled Coke and downed it.
After tethering that "dog with lust in its heart but not in its loins" in the backyard, Xu Qingfan also followed them back into the house.
When people are overly tired, they seem to always enjoy sitting on the floor. Take, for instance, the five girls in front of him, neatly seated in a row with their backs against the sofa and their legs stretched out straight.
"Brother Fan, this one's for you." Seeing Xu Qingfan enter, Xiao Ruawen tossed the extra can of Coke she had grabbed to him.
Xu Qingfan caught it steadily, clearly accustomed to the girls' unguarded demeanor in front of him.
