How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Zhou Wentao: ...

Why do I feel like there's something hidden in your words?

……

Chapter 13: Why not just create a new account!

I didn't run into Wen Xueyu at the school cafeteria at noon, but I did bump into Jiang Yiyao and another girl on the second floor.

The girl wasn't as strikingly beautiful as Jiang Yiyao, nor did she possess such an aggressive demeanor.

She has a slender and cute appearance, with pigtails and a red hair clip with white spots.

Although she couldn't compare to Jiang Yiyao, who was standing next to her, she was still considered one of the top girls Xu Yan had ever seen at the affiliated high school.

Why do pretty girls always hang out with other pretty girls? Doesn't anyone want to hang out with a handsome guy like me?

Xu Yan made eye contact with Jiang Yiyao as he passed by, but instead of heading straight for where they were sitting, he simply walked past them.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yiyao looked up and shouted, "Why are you running? Did you go to steal a dog? Come here."

Xu Yan: ?

Didn't you just use the "dog theft" meme this morning? Stealing again! This is your first time stealing, buddy, you'll be prosecuted if you steal again!

The girl next to Jiang Yiyao also looked over curiously, blinked her watery eyes, and watched as Xu Yan walked over with a tray and sat down opposite the two of them.

"Huh? Yao Yao, is this your friend?"

The girl immediately asked.

Jiang Yiyao shrugged. "A good-for-nothing little brother who lives next door to me."

Xu Yan rolled her eyes at Jiang Yiyao, "You called me here just to humiliate me, didn't you?"

"Otherwise, would I be introducing you to a girlfriend?"

"Oh dear, what are you saying?"

The girl next to Jiang Yiyao immediately blushed and patted her on the shoulder, acting coquettishly.

Jiang Yiyao looked at her with a puzzled expression, "I didn't say I was introducing you, you seem to be in a hurry..."

"No way!"

"But don't even think about it, you can't talk to him at all."

Although Xu Yan didn't have any plans to date at the moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Wait, why does it seem like you're the one making all the decisions about me?" after hearing Jiang Yiyao's confident tone.

The sunlight outside the window stubbornly penetrated the glass and fell on the girl's delicate, fair face. When she smiled, she looked like a wicked fox.

“I’m your mother, of course I have a say in things concerning the children.”

Xu Yan: ...

You've been attacking WoW a lot lately, haven't you? WoW's reputation is ruined by people like you!

"It's only twenty yuan for this meal, otherwise I would have thrown it on your head, you ordinary woman."

The boy rolled his eyes, then looked at the girl who was curious about their relationship, "My name is Xu Yan, and I'm in Class 1 of Parallel Class."

For some reason, ever since letting go of his 'obsession' with Lin Jia, Xu Yan felt he no longer had that restraint when looking at girls. It was like he was letting himself go, thinking, "However you see me, I'm just like that."

The girl with pigtails nodded, her smile slightly shy. "Hello, my name is Xiao Lili, the 'Li' in 'pear'."

It has a sweet-sounding name, but it's still not quite as good as the cod burger.

Xu Yan nodded and then looked at Jiang Yiyao, "Is this your new friend?"

"Speaking in code again, huh?" Jiang Yiyao blurted out.

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "You've gone too far!"

Damn it, how could a guy like me stand being treated like this by Jiang Yiyao every day?

Xiao Lili, standing nearby, didn't understand at all and looked at the two of them strangely, asking, "What are you two talking about?"

Xu Yan quickly shook his head, "It's nothing, it's nothing, children shouldn't listen to this."

"Oh." Xiao Lili nodded as if she understood, then looked at the two of them for a moment before saying, "You two have a really good relationship."

Xu Yan and Jiang Yiyao turned to look at Xiao Lili at the same time, their question marks almost turning into mission prompts.

"How did you figure that out?" Xu Yan asked politely.

Jiang Yiyao was quite sharp, "Has no one mentioned in all these years that there might be something wrong with your eyes?"

"Huh? What's wrong with my eyes?"

"Is your vision so poor that you'd lose even to a blind person playing spot-the-difference? Otherwise, how did you come to the conclusion that we have a good relationship?"

"???" She was confused, feeling that there was something strange about the two of them. "But... it can't be that bad, right?"

Jiang Yiyao scoffed, "It hasn't come to the point where they're actually fighting each other with knives."

"You really want to kill me?"

"Who knows? You'll find out if you make me angry twice more."

"..." This is pointless; this woman can't handle this.

Xu Yan ate his food in silence. It was alright; the knife hadn't reached his neck yet, and the food just had to stay warm.

Xiao Lili found the bickering between the two increasingly amusing. "How did you two meet?"

Jiang Yiyao ate her food in small bites, then mumbled, "Didn't I tell you? My neighbor has been clinging to me since we were kids."

I'm not some big pig clinging to you, am I?

Xu Yan retorted irritably, "I don't know who insisted on following me around when we were kids. When the family asked, they always blamed me and made me get scolded."

Hearing this, Jiang Yiyao blushed instantly. "Who's shifting the blame! Did I treat you to an ice cream afterwards? It was three rings!"

"Anyway, this is what it is."

"We're all adults now, so let's not talk about the past, okay? Isn't that childish?"

"I'm still two months away from turning 18, thank you."

"Oh, then you have to call her 'older sister'."

Xiao Lili immediately raised her hand, "I still have five months until I turn 18!"

As a result, Xu Yan and Jiang Yiyao both turned to look at her, revealing very similar smiles.

"Call my sister."

"Call me brother."

"..." The girl with pigtails blushed and looked at the two of them, "You two are really...!"

But they had no power to harm her. Instead, the two men moved closer and whispered in her face as if tempted by some demon, "Say it, say those two words."

The girl could only clench her fists, her face flushed, and grit her teeth as she shouted out two words, "Bad guy!"

Xu Yan and Jiang Yiyao immediately sat back down, feeling utterly bored.

"I thought she would say that the two of us are Chu Sheng."

"Yeah, at the very least, he should be stupid, right?"

"Being a bad guy is boring, it's like being a spoiled brat."

"They're just too thin-skinned; they can't bring themselves to curse."

"Isn't it because you didn't teach well?"

"It's alright, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn from what you see and hear, and you can be properly influenced."

Xiao Lili: ? ? ?

Are there still humans here? I'm going to report this to the United Nations: aliens are having a feast!

"I'm finished eating. You guys take your time. I'll be going now."

Xu Yan quickly finished his lunch and left with his tray.

The two girls ate quite politely, unlike Xu Yan who wolfed down his food, so they hadn't finished eating yet.

However, now that Xu Yan is gone, Xiao Lili can boldly ask some questions.

"You two don't have a bad relationship, do you?"

Jiang Yiyao paused for a moment, then calmly replied, "It's alright, there's no deep-seated hatred."

"Oh, I understand."

"What did you figure out? I've noticed you're a bit of a gossip. Are you really that interested in relationships? Tell me what you've figured out."

Xiao Lili smiled slightly, "I've seen it in Japanese anime. Childhood sweethearts who used to be very close missed each other because of some small misunderstandings. When they finally grew up and understood their feelings, a beautiful girl who suddenly appeared would seize the opportunity, and then the childhood sweetheart would become the loser."

"..." Jiang Yiyao covered her face and sighed, "Now I know why you're so pretty, but you're not very popular in class."

Xiao Lili blinked. "Why? Because I like to tell the truth?"

"Let's eat, Lili."

"Ow."

"Just to add, your name sounds like a loser."

"How about I give you this name?"

"Do you want me to feed you if you don't want to eat?" When she saw Jiang Yiyao's forced smile, Xiao Lili obediently lowered her head to eat and stopped talking.

Jiang Yiyao made much more noise with her chopsticks, as if she were using the plate as a drum set.

She didn't show much emotion; she even felt a little like laughing.

This is really chaotic!

When Xu Yan finished evening self-study tonight, he didn't encounter any class bullies or off-campus thugs blocking the gate. However, there was no ride-sharing service available tonight.
