How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

"No way!!"

Wen Xueyu grabbed Ma Jiamin's arm and pulled her outside, glancing back at Xu Yan as she said, "We're going to eat, bye-bye~"

Oh, you still remember to say goodbye to yourself? What a polite girl.

It seems that truly wealthy families have excellent upbringing.

"Bye-Bye."

Watching the two girls leave chatting and laughing, Xu Yan put one hand in his pocket and prepared to walk towards the cafeteria when someone suddenly called out to him.

“Hey, Xu Yan.”

Turning my head, I saw Chen Nuan's smiling face.

Xu Yan looked at her strangely, "Is something the matter?"

"Can't I just call you if there's nothing wrong?" Chen Nuan said with a smile, her voice slightly strained, sounding somewhat unreal. Perhaps it was because Xu Yan didn't think anyone would speak in that tone in real life; she wasn't a costumed character, and Xu Yan wasn't a costumed character fan herself.

Xu Yan shook his head. "I just think your voice sounds weird."

"What's strange about it?" Chen Nuan's face lit up with joy, and she immediately asked with curiosity.

"Because you give me the feeling that we're already very familiar with each other and can talk freely, but we don't seem to be that familiar, do we?"

Chen Nuan: ...

Seeing the girl's speechless expression, the color on her face suddenly turned somewhat gloomy.

Xu Yan laughed at this moment instead, "Alright, I'm going to eat, bye-bye."

"...Bye-Bye."

A somewhat stiff farewell.

Xu Yan left the classroom feeling relaxed. He didn't know what Chen Nuan was planning, but he didn't think it was a good thing that a girl who had just broken up with her boyfriend was treating him so specially.

Even if she has a competitive instinct, she should direct it towards the right people. After witnessing the charm of girls like Jiang Yiyao, Wen Xueyu, and Ye Shutong, Chen Nuan is clearly not up to the task.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, it was already packed with people, and it was difficult to even stand in line.

By the time we got to the front of the line, many popular dishes were already sold out, like chicken legs, chicken wings, and braised pork... Damn, can these high school students eat this much? Is this a school or a pig farm?!

What? I'm a high school student too? Never mind then.

After finally getting a full plate of food, Xu Yan began to survey his territory like a lion, trying to find a suitable spot to sit down and show off.

When he saw two familiar figures, he paused instinctively, then immediately prepared to make a run for it.

"stop!"

As a result, he stood up with chopsticks in hand and grabbed Xu Yan's clothes before he could slip away.

"What are you doing! What are you doing pulling and shoving in the cafeteria!"

Xiao Lili glared angrily at Xu Yan, "You ran away as soon as you saw us, are you feeling guilty?!"

Holding the tray, Xu Yan couldn't move around much and looked at Xiao Lili with annoyance. "What do I have to be guilty about? I'm just a humble person."

"Don't even try! Lower your head, or I'll flick your head!"

Xu Yan held the plate in one hand and covered his lower body with the other.

A look of horror.

"Is it really that twisted?"

Xiao Lili: ? ? ?

"What are you thinking about! Forehead! Oh dear... Yao Yao, look at him~~"

Xiao Lili then shook Jiang Yiyao's arm, who was eating.

Jiang Yiyao, who couldn't even pick up the food because of the shaking, turned to Xu Yan and said, "You made this mess of your own business, so you have to figure out how to fix it yourself."

Although his hand was released, Xu Yan did not slip away but chose to sit down at the table.

He put down his plate and said helplessly, "What do you mean by 'committing a sin'? The way you put it..."

"Then let me play it!"

Xiao Lili's rather anxious appearance amused Xu Yan. "Is it really necessary?"

"Of course!" Xiao Lili thought for a moment, "From childhood to adulthood, I've only ever been flicked on the head by my father!"

Xu Yan nodded. "Then now, I can be your dad."

Xiao Lili: ?

Jiang Yiyao couldn't stand it anymore, "You're too good at taking advantage of others, aren't you? You even take advantage of my best friend?"

Xu Yan blinked. "How about you be the mother?"

Jiang Yiyao thought for a moment, then realized something was wrong, "You're even taking advantage of me!"

"whee."

That's a saying, "Isn't it good to take advantage of whoever gets something?" For someone like me, who considers it a loss if I don't find money on the street.

In the end, Xu Yan couldn't get away with it and was arrested for his many evil deeds. He incurred the wrath of the public and had to let Jiang Yiyao hold his arm down. He only stopped after Xiao Lili flicked his arm.

If Xu Yan had known that Xiao Lili only had this much strength, he wouldn't have bothered to avoid her.

It turned out to be muscle weakness; when it bounced up, its forehead didn't even turn red.

"Oops! I didn't use enough force just now, let's try again!!"

Xiao Lili said with dissatisfaction.

Xu Yan scoffed, "Dream on! You always think opportunities are endless, so you never cherish what's in front of you. This is your punishment!"

Xiao Lili looked pleadingly at Jiang Yiyao beside her: "Yaoyao, look at him~~"

"I'm getting a little tired of seeing me every day. There's nothing I can do. I'm Captain Dragonfly, and I can only make fair judgments. You two are even now."

"Ugh... Humph!"

Xu Yan didn't know what this was all about, but he had a feeling that Xiao Lili was up to no good, so he should be careful when walking on the street from now on.

"By the way, how difficult did you guys find your exams today?"

While eating, I casually asked.

Because of this topic, Xiao Lili immediately forgot about what had just happened.

"This is a bit difficult. I really can't solve the last big math problem... I feel like I lost a lot of points."

"You can't solve something so simple? Have you started dating someone lately?" Jiang Yiyao looked at her friend suspiciously.

"No way! It's really hard, okay! Besides, I'm with you every day, so if we're going to talk, it'll be with you~ hehehe."

"Hey, have you guys been playing with neodymium copper lately? Would it be convenient to have another victim character?" Xu Yan asked curiously.

"Get lost! You ask us how our exams went, but what about yours?"

Jiang Yiyao asked in an annoyed tone.

Xu Yan had been waiting for this moment, and the Dragon King gave a crooked, cold laugh.

"All I can say is that you're in trouble."

Jiang Yiyao: ?

The girl's expression immediately changed.

Xiao Lili looked at the two of them strangely: "What do you mean, 'doomed'... what happened?"

Jiang Yiyao suppressed her momentary panic, "It's okay, he's just pretending. Do you really believe he did well on the test?"

"Right, if you could have done well on the exam, would you have needed to be in the experimental class now?"

Xiao Lili posed a soul-searching question.

Actually, people like Jiang Yiyao who pretend to understand but deliberately mislead you aren't scary. It's people like Xiao Lili who are genuinely innocent and asking questions that are truly devastating.

Xu Yan suddenly felt that the food no longer tasted good.

"It's okay, the warm score will prove it to me..."

"By the way, Xu Yan, are you free tomorrow night?" Xiao Lili suddenly asked.

Xu Yan looked at her strangely, "We have a holiday tomorrow afternoon, so there's nothing to do. What's wrong?"

"Isn't it Yao Yao's birthday tomorrow? Let's go out for dinner together, just the three of us."

Xiao Lili blinked as she spoke.

Xu Yan glanced at Jiang Yiyao, who was still eating and had no expression, and said, "If there's nothing else, then it's fine."

Okay~

There were no further topics of conversation, and Xu Yan didn't linger after finishing his meal. After all, he had an exam in the afternoon and needed to review and fill in any gaps in his knowledge. Besides, they weren't in the same class, so there was no need to follow etiquette and leave together.

When Xu Yan left.

Xiao Lili looked at Jiang Yiyao curiously: "Why don't you just ask him about eating and let me ask him?"

"Because I'm too lazy to communicate with him. If I were to say something, he would definitely say a bunch of annoying things."

"for example?"

Jiang Yiyao thought for a moment, then sneered and said, "What, you invited me to dinner because you have a crush on me? What, you said you had a good reason to invite a third wheel when the two of us could have eaten together... In short, it's annoying. He won't bother you with any more questions if you say what you want to say."

"I see~"

Xiao Lili nodded as if she suddenly understood.

Jiang Yiyao looked at Xiao Lili strangely, "You understood?"

Xiao Lili nodded very forcefully this time.

"Okay, I understand. I'll just say I suddenly had something to do tomorrow!"

Jiang Yiyao: ?
