How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Is it still growing?

Xu Yan has grown to 1.8 meters tall... but among today's young people, 1.8 meters doesn't seem to be a particularly outstanding height... Xu Yan has even seen a few high school freshmen who are taller than him.

These kids these days are developing incredibly fast; it's not just their finances that are expanding, but also their physical condition.

"Well, I see."

Anyway, by the time I got home, those two were probably asleep, and by the time I woke up during the day, no one would know whether I had been drinking or not.

I went out under the cover of night, and when I got downstairs I saw the address that Shuying had sent me. When I looked back, the lights on the third floor were still on.

Is Jiang Yiyao still not asleep? Is she going to have insomnia tonight? Xu Yan thought darkly.

The girl is indeed having trouble sleeping; she's taking a shower.

After washing my silky body with hot water, my skin was still glowing white, except for one spot that was glaringly red.

I saw more noticeable red marks on my collarbone in the mirror.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yiyao's face couldn't help but turn red, and she bit her lower lip tightly.

"What a perverted freak!"

How long will it take for these marks to disappear? I have to attend evening self-study tomorrow night, even though I can hide them by wearing my school uniform jacket and zipping it up.

But what if someone sees it? How do you explain that? A mosquito bite?

On the other hand, if it weren't here, where else would he kiss me that I would find acceptable?

At this moment, Jiang Yiyao had completely forgotten that the bet was for the boy to lick her, not to kiss her indiscriminately.

Her fingers unconsciously caressed her body; it was no longer just a simple act of washing.

Neck? No, it would leave more noticeable marks...

A cheek? He wouldn't be satisfied so easily...

Ears? Absolutely not, they get so itchy when I touch them...

When her fingers touched her lips, she felt an electric shock-like sensation and instantly released her grip.

That's an even more unacceptable place!

So... it seems there's no other way. As if all strength has been lost, my arms hang limply, letting the hot water wash over my body.

Perhaps I can regulate my body temperature, perhaps I can wash away the sweat I produced today, but that trace, that lingering burning sensation on my collarbone, can never be completely washed away...

I arrived at my destination by taxi.

A bustling and vibrant nightclub street.

Actually, this place isn't called Nightclub Street; it's just that the surrounding area is full of places that provide nightlife for young people, such as billiard rooms, KTVs, nightclubs, quiet bars, and shops that cater to both daytime and nighttime customers.

Over time, it became known as Nightclub Street. If you call it by its normal name, the driver might not know where you want to go and might have to think for a while, but if you call it Nightclub Street, they'll bring you there immediately.

Xu Yan hadn't been here many times. After all, he didn't have much money before, and he wasn't free enough to let loose. He always thought of himself as a good boy wearing a red scarf, so he naturally avoided such places.

But now that these concerns are gone, all you need to understand is one thing: Your life is your own. As long as you can afford it and don't harm yourself, how you enjoy it is your own business. You'll never find true happiness living in the opinions of others.

When Xu Yan arrived, he immediately saw Shu Ying standing at the street corner, carrying a small bag.

Even the darkest night couldn't seem to conceal her presence. She didn't need neon lights or bright streetlights to highlight her; her mere presence was the best identifier.

However, being too charming can also attract a lot of trouble. When Xu Yan arrived, there was a young man with dyed white hair, dressed in hip-hop style clothing, who was trying to chat her up.

"It's so boring to be alone."

"I'm waiting for someone."

"A beauty like you actually needs to wait for someone? I think that guy is being incredibly disrespectful. I happen to be alone too, isn't it fate that we bumped into each other here? Why don't we just go for a drink? There's no point in waiting for a man who doesn't respect you."

Shu Ying was already getting a little impatient.

Do these people all think they have a special set of conversation skills that are enough to flirt with any woman?

If this weren't a busy street, but a more private setting with fewer people, she might have used even more aggressive language.

Whether or not you will hurt the other person is not important. The truth of this society is that when you try to get close to a stranger, you are at risk of being hurt.

Who says this isn't a dark forest?

"Sorry for the long wait, there's a bit of a traffic jam."

Just before Shu Ying was about to explode, a familiar voice appeared beside them.

She slightly raised her head, and the white-haired man looked over curiously as well.

When he saw Xu Yan's face and his aura, especially his striking height... he subconsciously took a step back.

In nature, body size is also the most direct standard for measuring strength.

This touches upon the underlying code of genes.

"Let's go."

Shu Ying stepped forward and took Xu Yan's arm.

Despite the thin clothing, Xu Yan could feel the woman's obvious body temperature. Whether it was due to the material of the clothes or her own temperament, he wanted to reach out and put his arm around her waist to feel just how supple her body was.

It seems they got a little carried away. To be honest, it's all Jiang Yiyao's fault.

It's because she's so easy to bully, like a soft persimmon, that her arrogance is fueled.

The white-haired man didn't know what to say, so he could only turn around and leave with a hint of regret, clearly feeling that he had no chance against this young man.

"Damn, they picked someone so young..."

It seems you can still hear the complaints fading into the distance.

The boy, with one hand in his pocket, turned around with amusement to look at Shu Ying, who was still holding his arm. "Sister, he said you're an old cow eating young grass."

Shu Ying couldn't help but squeeze Xu Yan's wrist hard.

It has no loose skin or flesh; it feels quite firm and elastic to the touch.

Am I old?

In any other context, she wouldn't doubt her age; after all, her charm is undeniable.

But in front of Xu Yan, it seemed like an insurmountable obstacle.

Xu Yan shrugged. "I think it's just right."

"Just right?"

Is there really such a saying? Shouldn't you comfort yourself by saying you're not old, or that a mature temperament is more attractive?

The boy, with a slight smile, spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Because only you can make me willingly call you 'sister,' that's why I said it's just right."

It's as if you can hear the sound of the sea breeze stirring up waves in your heart.

She turned her head to look ahead, preventing Xu Yan from seeing her expression and color.

"You're so glib... I just find you hypocritical."

Xu Yan nodded. "Then let go of my hand, sister. What, do you like getting close to hypocritical people so much?"

"..."

……

Chapter 109 A Good Reward for You~

She let go of his hand.

After all, the two weren't really that close. Before, they just had a reason to avoid being approached, but now they didn't have that excuse anymore.

However, she didn't dislike the aura emanating from Xu Yan.

Holding someone's arm can be a sign of intimacy or politeness, but only the person involved truly knows the specifics.

She felt that her heart rate was not accelerating and her emotions were normal and stable.

"I've noticed you're getting better and better at talking."

Walking down the bustling street, Shu Ying spoke in a somewhat strange tone.

Xu Yan didn't care about any of that; as long as he was in a good mood, that was enough.

"Really? I feel like I was pretty good at talking from the start. You mean it's like gradually taking off a mask of pretense and then revealing your true nature?"

"As long as you know."

Xu Yan smiled and said, "Actually, it's more that you understand me better."

Shu Ying turned her head and looked at Xu Yan strangely, seemingly not expecting him to say that.

Xu Yan continued, "Isn't getting to know someone about them the way you get to know them better? Could it be that you're the kind of person who opens up to someone the moment you meet them?"

"Of course not." She sighed softly.

Xu Yan nodded, deeply agreeing, "That's true, after all, I don't feel like I understand you at all right now."

"You really want to know me?"

Huh? They've turned the tables?

"So what are we going to do next?" Xu Yan changed the subject directly, and then got the eye roll he wanted from Shu Ying.

She has quite a good presence. Xu Yan thinks this woman is suited to be in a movie, specifically a role that involves rolling one's eyes.

It doesn't offend anyone at all; on the contrary, it has a unique charm.

"Wasn't it you who arranged this?" Shu Ying said irritably, no longer bothering to dwell on the boy's attempt to change the subject.

There's no need for that; she's not the type to be petty or argumentative.

"Oh? You mean you'll do whatever I say?"

The boy spoke in a strange tone, which could easily be misinterpreted, but Shu Ying didn't care.
