How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Before he could speak, Jiang Yiyao across from him said, "Classmate, you said your girlfriend is flirting with other people... You don't think I didn't notice you staring at me the whole time, do you?"

"...I didn't!" Dai Jiajun denied, his eyes wide and his face flushed.

This sudden turn of events also made Chen Nuan, who had come over to stop the situation from escalating further, stop what she was doing.

She looked at Jiang Yiyao, who was speaking, with some surprise.

Jiang Yiyao chuckled and was about to continue speaking, but Xu Yan stopped her at that moment.

Instead, she turned to Dai Jiajun and said, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry."

"You know nothing!"

"Do you think that swearing in every sentence makes you look like a gangster? Then your most urgent task is to take off your school uniform, dye your hair yellow, and go to a factory to tighten screws."

"Pfft...!"

Some of the onlookers lacked basic moral character; some were even snickering.

"you...!"

Dai Jiajun didn't dare to make a move at all. After all, with so many people watching, and him wearing a school uniform, he simply didn't have the confidence or the ability to bear the consequences.

So why rush up and attack Xu Yan? It's simple.

To thoroughly belittle this pretty boy in front of so many people and this beautiful girl.

If the relationship falls apart, it's fine; she's just a woman.

But we can't suffer this kind of loss or injustice.

They just wanted to ruin Chen Nuan's and this guy's reputations. They didn't care whether they knew each other or not; this was what they saw!

However, he seemed to have underestimated the strength of the boy's counterattack and misjudged that the development of some things was simply beyond his control.

Listen carefully.

Xu Yan pointed almost at his chest, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "I'm not close to your girlfriend, so whether you two argue or fight is none of my business. Don't try to blame me for your own failure to keep her. You should even thank me, because if I were really your opponent, you wouldn't even have the chance to have breakfast with her this time."

After Xu Yan finished speaking.

The public opinion surrounding the situation immediately reversed.

Those who had initially been watching and enjoying themselves also began a new round of discussion.

"No, what you said makes a lot of sense."

"Why is this guy trying to flirt with his girlfriend when the girl across from him is so pretty?"

"I just saw it, they only exchanged two sentences..."

"Isn't this a bit of a persecution complex?"

"I think this is a form of control, it's terrifying. My girlfriend can't even say two words to other people... it's suffocating."

"That's ridiculous... How dare someone like that cause trouble for others?"

Faced with Xu Yan's relentless and aggressive approach, which was almost a direct humiliation to the face.

Dai Jiajun was so angry that his veins were about to burst, but he couldn't utter a word.

Fortunately, at this point, the noodle shop owner finally couldn't stand it anymore. "What are you doing! You students are making a scene in my shop instead of eating breakfast, are you? Do you really want me to call your teacher?"

At this moment, Chen Nuan also walked over and glanced at Dai Jiajun.

"Stop messing around, Dai Jiajun."

Although Dai Jiajun felt deeply humiliated, he knew this was not an occasion for him to continue his outburst.

Looking at Xu Yan, whose imposing aura still loomed large, standing before him like a towering pagoda, he gritted his teeth.

"You wait!"

After saying that, he turned his head and left the noodle shop without even looking at Chen Nuan.

Chen Nuan glanced awkwardly at Xu Yan, and then specifically at Jiang Yiyao, before saying softly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Jiang Yiyao couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Chen Nuan say that, "Since you know it's troublesome, don't bring this kind of thing out and affect others."

Chen Nuan hadn't expected this pretty girl to be so rude, even after she had apologized...

She couldn't help but glance at Xu Yan, who had sat down again, "Um..."

Xu Yan glanced at Jiang Yiyao, then looked at Chen Nuan, and said calmly.

"She's right. You should take care of your own affairs. We're fine."

"...Okay, I'm really sorry."

After apologizing repeatedly, Chen Nuan left.

Jiang Yiyao said irritably, "My noodles are all soggy!"

Xu Yan grinned and said, "Luckily, I ate soup noodles, hehehe."

"You big dummy!"

Jiang Yiyao started eating her noodles with a sour expression. Although the earlier incident had caused quite a commotion, it didn't affect the atmosphere between the two of them.

They continued eating as if nothing had happened, each going about their own business.

It wasn't until they were almost finished eating that Jiang Yiyao looked up at Xu Yan, who seemed to be in a good mood. "Smiling so happily, do you really think he broke up with you?"

Xu Yan shook his head. "If I thought that way, I wouldn't have been so assertive just now."

Jiang Yiyao snorted, "At least you still have some sense. That girl... there's something off about her. Be careful."

Something's not right.

Xu Yan asked curiously.

Jiang Yiyao shook her head, "How would I know? You're all in the same class... If you're curious, why don't you just ask?"

"I'm sick, so I'm asking this... Oh, right, I found something."

"what?"

Jiang Yiyao looked at the boy with a puzzled expression.

Xu Yan winked at himself, "You seem to really care about me lately. What, you want to control me before you've even graduated... Wait, don't break the bowl, I won't say anything more!"

"..."

After a pleasant breakfast, the two parted ways at the school gate as usual, maintaining a clear sense of boundaries.

Xu Yan used to think that the other party might really be avoiding suspicion, but now... he seems to look around when he enters the room, feeling inexplicably guilty.

Is the current situation one of both people having ulterior motives?

It's hard to say.

As I slung my backpack over my shoulder and headed upstairs, before I even reached the classroom door and went inside, a familiar figure came towards me.

"Xu Yan..."

What are you doing here?

Xu Yan looked at Chen Nuan, who was standing there, seemingly having waited for a long time, with a strange expression.

I used to think her smile had a sweet, girlish quality, but now, in my eyes, her smile seems a little less innocent.

It's undeniable that Jiang Yiyao might have played a part in it, but Xu Yan doesn't believe Jiang Yiyao would bewitch him.

Chen Nuan maintained her smile, then lowered her head somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry... I didn't expect things to turn out like this, and it affected you and your friends..."

Xu Yan shook his head. "You've already apologized, so this matter is over."

Is it really over? Will that Dai Jiajun come looking for trouble again?

These are all unknowns and uncertainties, but Xu Yan doesn't care. His unspoken message is that your scenes with that person are over for him.

Chen Nuan nodded gently, her smile apologetic, almost forced, and pitiful look.

"Actually, we were on the verge of breaking up a long time ago. I wanted to make things clear to him this morning... but I didn't expect him to get so agitated just because I said hello to you... It's too much. Don't worry, if he keeps bothering you, you can tell me immediately, and I won't let him make things difficult for you."

At first glance, this statement seems reasonable, but something just feels off.

How did it become that you have to protect me?

We don't have that kind of bond, do we?

Seeing Xu Yan remain silent, Chen Nuan thought for a moment and said softly, "You don't need to worry about anything, we've completely broken up."

Xu Yan snapped out of his daze and shook his head at Chen Nuan in front of him.

"Whatever happens to you two is none of my business, just don't drag me into it, thank you."

After saying that, he bypassed the somewhat bewildered Chen Nuan and went straight into the classroom.

……

P.S.: I'll try to get some monthly votes and add an extra chapter tonight!

Chapter 94 Brother Jie is awesome! (Third update, please subscribe!)

Xu Yan didn't fully understand why Chen Nuan had deliberately said those words to him outside the classroom.

In short, during their only conversation, Xu Yan smelled a subtle aroma of tea wafting towards him.

Good tea needs to be shaken slowly.

I might have a biased feeling, after all, I'm not a professional tea taster, but ultimately her thoughts have nothing to do with mine, we're just classmates.

Once you're in your seat, put your backpack down.

An Lulu arrived earlier than me and was already memorizing English vocabulary on her own while looking at her vocabulary book.

Xu Yan didn't make a sound to disturb him. Instinctively, he reached into his desk to take out his homework, which he had to hand in later.

The familiar feel returned.

For some inexplicable reason, Xu Yan pulled out a Dove chocolate from the drawer.
