How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Still somewhat dazed from the impact, the first thing Jiang Yiyao did after regaining her senses was to punch Xu Yan in the waist.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you!"

Xu Yan, clutching her back, turned around and looked at her, annoyed. "What do you mean, 'on purpose'? You yelled so urgently, I thought something had happened to you!"

"You better not have done it on purpose."

Jiang Yiyao glared coldly at Xu Yan, then got out of the car.

Xu Yan looked at her, puzzled. "Why are you getting out of the car? Are you going to walk back?"

Could it be that you've also got a system task that requires you to walk home?

"I want to eat this."

Jiang Yiyao pointed, and Xu Yan saw a barbecue restaurant by the roadside. It was quite crowded, with tables set up outside.

The aromas of cumin, chili, and various flavorings begin to fill the nasal cavity, causing one to automatically salivate.

"Eating barbecue at this time of day?"

"Do you eat barbecue for breakfast?"

"Get lost! What I mean is, aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea tomorrow if you eat such unclean food tonight?"

Jiang Yiyao sneered and asked, "I'm asking you, is it because you're older that you're healthier, or is it because you're healthier now?"

"Nonsense, of course it's this time."

"So if you don't eat junk food now, are you going to wait until you're old to eat it?"

"..."

Damn, what she said makes so much sense.

The girl standing beside the bicycle stood with her legs straight, her eyes revealing a cool and resolute air. She possessed a uniquely cool and stylish charm.

Xu Yan hesitated for a moment, "But it's too late, my parents will probably call to urge me later."

This isn't the behavior of a mama's boy. During holidays, his parents basically don't care much about Xu Yan's whereabouts. Only on school days do they make an extra effort to ask Xu Yan to come home early and not wander around outside.

Jiang Yiyao rolled her eyes. "Stop talking nonsense. Just call your aunt and uncle and tell them it's my treat. After you eat, go home."

"Isn't this a bad idea?"

"Besides, it's your treat. Anyway, you look like you really want to eat."

"...Wait a minute."

Xu Yan dialed his father's number directly and explained the situation. Xu Jia'an did not give Xu Yan any instruction and even asked Xu Yan if he had enough money for a late-night snack.

As the most sensible and filial son in the entire Liangcheng Normal University Affiliated High School, Xu Yan immediately replied, "That's definitely not enough. How much money will you give me every day? Transfer me 100 first, thank you and goodbye."

Having listened to the whole thing, Jiang Yiyao looked at Xu Yan with a cold smile, "Although I knew you were shameless, I didn't expect you to be so unscrupulous, trying to have your cake and eat it too."

Xu Yan smiled as he received the payment.

"If I say I'm treating tonight, do I have any bottom line?"

"Young Master Xu is the most principled man I've ever met!"

Jiang Yiyao gave a thumbs-up, her face full of approval.

Xu Yan burst into laughter.

"Just kidding. I won't treat you to anything if you praise me. I have money to spend."

"I kill you!"

Although there was some noise and commotion, we managed to find a place to sit down and order our food without any problems.

"What would you like to drink?" Jiang Yiyao asked.

"Cola will do."

"Eating barbecue but not drinking beer?"

"Are you sick? You have class tomorrow, why are you drinking beer? You've developed a drinking habit in the past two years?"

Xu Yan looked at her suspiciously, while Jiang Yiyao calmly handed the menu to the waiter next to her, "Just add two bottles of iced cola."

Then he turned his head and said, "I was just testing you, to see if you act like a good boy in front of your parents, but actually smoke and drink in private."

"Damn, I was supposed to be the one to say that joke!"

The girl's lips curled slightly, exuding a wicked and arrogant charm: "That's just how clumsy you are, you can't even keep up with a joke."

"You're really something."

So the question is, what hot games can we play?

When the barbecue arrived, the two ate and chatted.

"How was your first day at the new school?" Xu Yan asked, eating a skewer of beef wrapped with cilantro.

"I'm so sorry, I've been doing a bit too well. I'm popular with my classmates and teachers, which may have disappointed you."

"What are you saying? I'd be happy if you adapted well, how could I possibly be disappointed?"

"Next time you say something like that, remember to smile nicely and don't cry."

Is it that obvious?

Xu Yan devoured another skewer of grilled cauliflower.

"I know you too well. Stop with the nonsense."

"I always feel that you have too many misunderstandings about me, really."

"Where's the misunderstanding? By the way, I heard you've been pursuing a girl in your class for almost two years and still haven't won her over. Is that true?"

Suddenly, Jiang Yiyao asked this question.

Xu Yan almost choked on his cola.

After coughing twice, he glared at Jiang Yiyao and said, "What do you mean by 'licking'? Besides, that's not what you call pursuing someone."

"But there is such a girl, right?"

Jiang Yiyao grinned, and Xu Yan felt that her expression wasn't entirely one of schadenfreude, but he didn't know what it was.

Xu Yan thought about it for a moment, but decided not to hide anything from himself.

"She's just a friend I've known for a long time. I never thought about dating her. It's just that we've gotten a little closer, and she's a bit more successful, so it caused some gossip. But it's nothing to do with her now."

"Tsk, you know perfectly well whether you have such thoughts or not, you don't need to explain to me."

Jiang Yiyao ate at a fast pace, but her movements seemed a bit more aggressive.

"Who explained it to you? They told you not to believe or spread rumors."

"cut."

The two quickly finished their meal, but when Jiang Yiyao got up to pay the bill, the owner told her that Xu Yan had already paid for it.

The girl paused, then looked at Xu Yan in surprise. "You're really treating?"

Xu Yan pushed the bicycle out, straddled it, and said, "It's your first day at your new school, and we haven't seen each other for so long, so it's perfectly normal to treat you to a meal. Besides, I already said that I would never go back on my promise. Get on."

Jiang Yiyao stood there for a moment before getting into the car, though her expression was slightly unnatural.

As the boy started the car, the wind began to whistle restlessly.

She muttered, "There are clearly things I haven't done."

"What are you babbling about? Give me that 20,000 yuan."

"Nothing, just asking about the diagnostic test in three days."

Jiang Yiyao, her face slightly flushed, pinched Xu Yan's waist, not too hard, but after releasing her grip, she didn't let go of his waist, gently holding it.

"What's wrong with the diagnostic test?"

"Don't you have any goals?"

"Yes, I have."

"what?"

"Three days from now, I will make it into the experimental class. Not only that, I will surpass you and humiliate you with my grades."

"Your courage is commendable, but do you realize that your mental state is off?"

"Just wait until I surpass you, that's all."

Jiang Yiyao: ?

"Get out of here, you bastard!"

"Hahahahaha."

A gust of wind blew in his face, blowing aside the boy's short bangs.

The scent of a man, devoid of any sweat, enveloped the girl behind him.

They worked tirelessly, stirring up dust along the entire street. The boys' biggest worry was probably not knowing where to go, but their greatest fortune was that they could go anywhere.

The grass grows lush and the birds fly; youth is wild and vibrant.

"You go up first, I'll go park the car."

"Oh."

After dropping Jiang Yiyao off at the entrance of her apartment building, Xu Yan pushed his bike to the bike shed on his own.

When he locked his car and went back upstairs to his apartment building, he saw a figure standing at the entrance on the third floor.

"Why are you still here?" Xu Yan's gaze met that of the tall girl looking at him from the doorway. Before Jiang Yiyao could speak, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hahaha, you didn't forget your keys, did you?"

"...You really are quite ill, here you go!"

As a result, Jiang Yiyao took out a notebook with a Rogue Rabbit cover from her schoolbag and handed it to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan looked completely bewildered. "What does this mean?"

Jiang Yiyao snorted coldly, "Didn't you say you wanted to surpass me in grades? I'll give you a chance. This is an English vocabulary notebook I made myself when I was in No. 1 High School. It's simple and efficient. You'll know once you use it. It depends on your comprehension."

"Really? Like the Bodhi Patriarch... How about I come find you at three o'clock tonight?"
