How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

The boy was taken aback. Why was there only a small piece today? Perhaps it's due to a downgrade in consumption.

Well, it's not really that bad. Xu Yan just thinks it's impressive that he can persevere like this.

At least I wouldn't remember doing the same thing every day, except for washing up and eating.

Holding the chocolate in her palm, An Lulu's gaze drifted over at some point, and she had stopped memorizing vocabulary.

"Eating chocolate first thing in the morning?"

Her eyes looked strange.

Xu Yan glanced at her. "Class monitor, did you see anyone come to my seat this morning?"

An Lulu calmly shook her head, "I didn't see it, and I wasn't the first one to come to the classroom."

"Oh."

An Lulu is one of the earliest students to arrive at class. After all, she lives in the dormitory and studies diligently. There are very few students in the class who arrive earlier than her.

This means that, just as I guessed, the mysterious person who always hides things in my desk and whom I consider a gift from nature, probably waits until the very end of evening self-study to hide things in my desk.

This also explains why my resources didn't refresh on my desk on the first day after the National Day holiday ended.

And it must be someone from your own class. The seats were changed yesterday, so people from other classes shouldn't know immediately.

It feels like we're filming a suspense movie, doesn't it?

Xu Yan tore open a Dove chocolate bar and stuffed it into his mouth, while seemingly casually glancing around the classroom, trying to find someone who was paying special attention to him.

Unfortunately.

When I arrived at the classroom, I automatically attracted the attention of many girls, and I couldn't find any useful clues at all.

No wonder the detective characters in suspense films are usually not handsome men; it just shows how much effort those directors put into it.

As Xu Yan was savoring the silky smoothness of the Dove chocolate, An Lulu's voice came from beside him.

"Have you decided which project you want to apply for?"

The moment she uttered those words, the chocolate melted in her mouth, turning into a rich, sweet flavor.

Living your life again, you recall how utterly dull and uninteresting your youth was. You never participated in any significant group activities, nor did you ever intend to express yourself. It's as if, in the memories of others' youth, you were merely remembered as a name.

Since I'm doing this important work, how can I remain unknown and live a mediocre life?

[Task: Participate in at least two events at the upcoming sports meet.]

[Task Reward: Insight.]

Xu Yan: ?

Just as I was about to answer An Lulu's question, the key information popped into my mind.

Xu Yan almost laughed.

Just as I expected, as long as I can be patient and not rush to make a decision, the system will take action.

See, if we had signed up yesterday, we would have missed out on a task, which would have been a huge loss.

But what does this insight mean? Insight, insight... the insight of the First God?

"I'm asking you a question."

Seeing Xu Yan suddenly space out, An Lulu thought that the boy just didn't want to sign up and was pretending to be out of his body.

So he urged her on, sounding a little impatient.

She is a very composed person, and although her attitude towards teachers and classmates isn't overly friendly or approachable, she is very patient. But somehow, when facing this boy, she always felt like her bottom line was being constantly challenged.

It's as if Xu Yan has a taunt aura; you have to attack this taunting enemy first.

He was probably just glad that he lived in a peaceful era.

Xu Yan snapped out of his daze and looked at the girl beside him: "Let me see which items are left on the form?"

An Lulu was stunned for a moment before realizing that Xu Yan seemed to be agreeing? But it seemed so. Even if he didn't want to participate, given his physique compared to the other boys in the class, he would be forced to participate anyway.

Registering early allows you to choose your own program, which is definitely a wise move.

She thought for a moment and said softly, "We're short one person for this 4x400 meter relay. Would you like to give it a try?"

Xu Yan frowned. "One person per lap relay? What about 4x100?"

Do you think this kind of project would still exist today?

An Lulu said irritably.

Indeed, in professional competitions, the 100-meter dash is a physically demanding event, requiring explosive power. But for high school sports meets, it's all about finishing quickly so you can relax and play on your phone.

Therefore, they are in high demand, and the spots were basically all taken yesterday.

"Okay, then let's go with 4x400."

"Then I'll fill in your name."

"Ah."

Just as An Lulu was about to take back the form, "smack!"

She felt an unfamiliar warmth on her little finger. Looking down, she saw that the boy's index finger had touched the tip of her little finger.

She gently withdrew her hand, then clenched her fist slightly.

She looked at Xu Yan with a slightly displeased expression, "What are you doing?"

For a fleeting moment, her heart skipped a beat, though she recovered quickly, like a computer that had paused for 0.01 seconds. But her gaze involuntarily fell on his impeccable profile.

Looking at his eyes from this angle, his long eyelashes, no less impressive than a girl's, are like eyes inlaid with jewels...

The golden beaches bear the wet marks left by the waves.

Xu Yan asked curiously, "Our school has a 4000-meter track?"

An Lulu awkwardly brushed the strands of hair by her ear with the hand that Xu Yan had accidentally touched earlier, her little finger slightly raised as she ran it across the ends of her hair.

"Hmm, nobody's applying for this project... You're not going to apply for it, are you?"

The longest running event in this sports meet was a nightmare for ordinary students; basically only physical education students could finish the entire race. Other students who signed up just ran about as far as they could, pretended to be exhausted, and then gave up.

Only a few can finish the race, but that's just about fighting for the spirit of sports; achieving results is extremely difficult.

These kinds of projects are usually only signed up as a last resort, when people are forced to sign up. An Lulu didn't expect that Xu Yan would set his sights on this project when there were still quite a few projects left.

What's going on? Have they gone mad?

If anyone else had done this, An Lulu would definitely have thought it was Jiahao's behavior, that he didn't understand his own strength and just wanted to make a name for himself.

However, Xu Yan's expression was relaxed and carefree, showing no signs of bravado or excitement, as simple and calm as ordering a dish from a menu.

"Let's go with this one. Anyway, no one else is going to participate, so I'll do it."

Xu Yan's relaxed and casual demeanor made An Lulu hesitate.

"you sure?"

She didn't know what Xu Yan's decision was. Did he intend to just run a couple of laps and then pretend to be exhausted and give up? That would be fine, and not many people would criticize him, but it would undoubtedly be... quite degrading and embarrassing.

An Lulu also didn't really want this boy to be the kind of person who liked to fool people.

Xu Yan nodded, "Don't worry, I'll finish the walk, I won't embarrass you too much."

An Lulu frowned. "What does this have to do with me... You represent Experimental Class 5."

Xu Yan grinned and said, "I understand, that's exactly what I meant."

You better mean that!

An Lulu remembered the unlucky bear that the boy had given her in the game, which was now placed on her bedside table in the dormitory.

Suddenly I felt that Xu Yan and it were somewhat similar, because they both looked like they deserved to be punched.

The girl was about to speak.

Suddenly a voice came from beside them, "Did you register for the 4,000 meters?"

Xu Yan and An Lulu both turned to look at Ye Shutong, who had somehow entered the classroom.

She calmly put down her schoolbag and looked over with indifferent eyes.

Even though I asked the question, she seemed to be the least concerned one.

Xu Yan was also puzzled by Ye Shutong's curiosity about this. "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Ye Shutong glanced at An Lulu, who was also looking at Xu Yan with a questioning gaze, and then she didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly: "Pretty impressive."

To others, such words would likely sound like mere polite formalities.

But coming from Ye Shutong... you know, she's too lazy to even offer insincere pleasantries, let alone force herself to praise others against her will.

Its value is self-evident.

Xu Yan didn't react to this, but some people overheard it.

Lu Yujie put one hand in his pocket, feeling incredibly powerful.

She walked straight into Ye Shutong's line of sight, and then said to An Lulu, who hadn't reacted yet, "Class monitor, sign me up for the 4,000 meters too. I run every morning, so I'm in good shape."

An Lulu:?

This is truly pretentious.

"you sure?"

He had only spoken familiar words to Xu Yan, but the tone was noticeably different.

He seemed somewhat worried about Xu Yan, but his attitude towards Lu Yujie was more like a provocation.

Lu Yujie seemed not to notice the difference at all, smiling and nodding confidently.

"I'll try my best to contribute to the class and get good grades. By the way, Xu Yan, there are a lot of techniques for long-distance running like this. You can ask me for guidance if you have time. Maybe it can help you improve in the end."

Looking at Lu Yujie's confident expression, which seemed so genuine.

Xu Yan really wanted to ask the other party.

I reported that the 4,000-meter run had a mission and some extras, what about you?

Don't tell my buddy you have guts.
