How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

"Oh... well, then let's eat more?"

Ye Shutong: ?

She rarely showed a slightly puzzled expression, as if she was surprised that the other party would say that.

Wen Xueyu realized that her words seemed a bit ambiguous, so she quickly explained, "Because I think you seem a little thin... It's okay to eat more."

Try your best to show your sincerity so that you are not lying or being hypocritical.

But in other people's eyes, she'll probably just seem cute, cute enough to purify the world.

Ye Shutong slowly composed herself. "Okay, thank you."

After saying that, he picked up the plate and left.

Xu Yan had already returned to the classroom by this time.

Many people in the classroom are still talking about interesting things that happened during the sports meet, whether it's trivial matters or things that almost caused a huge uproar.

Whoever makes a foolish mistake or breaks the rules becomes the target of public criticism.

Then someone had a brilliant idea and led the team to victory.

Xu Yan leisurely walked to his seat and found that the seat next to him was empty; An Lulu had not returned yet.

That's normal. As the class monitor, she always needs to help with things like the sports meet. She eats late, so she comes back late too.

What should I do? I don't feel safe with the class monitor not around.

But looking ahead, I saw Shen Yourong's familiar back.

She's really easy to spot. This girl might not be very tall or slender, but the way she always hunches her shoulders and seems very withdrawn makes her easy to identify.

Xu Yan didn't even pick up a pen; he simply extended his index finger and poked the other person's back.

"what..."

It's like a voice-activated doll; it reacts when you poke it and lets out a scream.

She looked back in a panic and saw Xu Yan's cynical smile.

"W-What's wrong...?"

She thought Xu Yan had something to ask her, never imagining that the boy was just playing around.

"It's nothing. What were you doing during the sports meet? I didn't really see you."

Shen Yourong thought for a moment, then answered softly, "I found a place to secretly read..."

"Aren't you afraid of getting caught by Old Wang?"

Does she really enjoy studying that much? Well, given her personality, it seems like she doesn't have much else to do.

"N-nothing... I'm hiding behind a tree."

"You're still hiding? Do you think hide-and-seek is one of the events at our sports meet?"

"Isn't this better?"

Shen Yourong asked with some concern after hearing what was said.

"It's okay, but it's good to watch the competition. It's quite interesting. It's too boring to just stay cooped up studying all the time."

"I watched your game..."

Unexpectedly, Shen Yourong replied in a very low voice.

Xu Yan was stunned. "You looked at me?"

"right..."

Her face quickly flushed, turning a very noticeable red, especially her ears hidden in her hair.

What's there to be embarrassed about? Such a handsome guy is meant to be admired.

"So how do I feel?"

Xu Yan smiled and asked directly.

"You...I..."

The girl immediately became hesitant and flustered, as if talking about these things was something shameful. Xu Yan chuckled.

Hahaha, is this something to be shy about?

"without..."

She lowered her head, looking aggrieved.

Oh no, what if this makes me want to bully him even more?

Xu Yan tried his best to suppress his Chu Sheng personality, propped himself up on his elbow, rested his chin on his hand, and looked at the other person, saying, "How does it feel to take so many selfies these days?"

Xu Yan didn't know how to put it precisely, but the general idea was to make her feel whether she had opened her heart a little and become more open.

Upon hearing this question, Shen Yourong quickly looked up at Xu Yan and then asked softly, "How...are you feeling?"

Xu Yan: ?

Whose heart is this supposed to open? Turns out, I'm the one being won over!

The boy felt a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It's cute."

While it's not just cute, it's not exactly lying either.

"Okay, okay..."

"So you don't need to be so careful all the time. At least when you're talking to me, you don't have anything to hide, right?"

What does it mean to take something out?

It seems that some words are worth keeping in one's heart and pondering them carefully.

She chatted briefly with Shen Yourong, and before more classmates returned to the classroom, she turned away, as if hiding in her own little nest.

What followed was the boring evening self-study session.

As An Lulu and Ye Shutong returned to their seats, the daytime hustle and bustle gave way to endless tranquility and languor for the night.

Xu Yan was reading a book when he suddenly slumped onto the table.

It seemed like I was exhausted from the day, but it was just pure boredom and drowsiness.

"..."

The subtle movements were his adjusting his posture, his arm rubbing against the table, crossing the '38th parallel' between the two of them.

An Lulu glanced down; his elbow was almost touching the back of his hand that was gripping the corner of the book.

My gaze shifted slightly, and I saw his closed eyes and his gently sleeping face.

His short hair couldn't cover his eyebrows and eyes, and his breathing was even without snoring.

Based on her personality, if a classmate is sleeping nearby, she would probably remind them to pay attention in class, or wake them up by pushing or calling them.

but...

After a moment of silence, she moved the book a little and shifted her body slightly to the side.

I moved the chair slightly, but accidentally made a sound.

The boy, who was resting on his arms, opened his eyes with a somewhat dazed look. He saw An Lulu's unusually flustered expression, and even her movements of fixing her hair seemed a bit uncoordinated.

"what happened?"

So he asked.

"...Go to sleep."

An Lulu lowered her head, placed her hands flat, and continued reading.

"Oh... just call me when the teacher arrives, thank you."

"Ah."

After saying this, the boy didn't think too much about it and closed his eyes again.

His face was still turned towards the girl.

His sleeping face was reflected in An Lulu's glasses.

The classroom lights are on.

A breeze is blowing through the open window.

It wasn't summer, so there were no cicadas chirping; she could only hear soft breathing beside her.

……

Chapter 121 has a reward? (Bonus Chapter 2!)

The sports meet proceeded as scheduled on the second day, but Xu Yan had nothing to do that day.

So Xu Yan basically wandered around like a street urchin all day, occasionally helping his classmates get water, offering assistance, and even writing speeches to submit to the broadcasting room.

So, I wouldn't say I've been particularly successful.

There's no way around it. Although I really want to do nothing and just lie around, my goal is still too big. He's tall and handsome, so it's easy for him to become a prime target.

After watching the intense sports meet all day, I drifted off to sleep reading a book in the evening...

You know what?

After everyone was exhausted during the day, they slept exceptionally well at night because no one had the energy to whisper secrets anymore.

Moreover, Xu Yan was surprised to find that he hadn't been caught sleeping during evening self-study sessions these past two days.

Huh? Is the 4x400 championship really that powerful? It's practically a get-out-of-jail-free card.

In short, the first two days of the sports meet went smoothly, and the third day, the day of Xu Yan's second event, the 4000-meter race, finally arrived.

However, Xu Yan had a bad feeling when he went out that day.
