How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

It's obvious who they're waiting for, but this time it wasn't Jiang Yiyao who made Xu Yan wait; it was Xu Yan who took the initiative to suggest it.

A short while later, clear footsteps came from the corridor, and Xu Yan could feel the familiarity of the frequency.

Turning around, I saw Jiang Yiyao slowly descending the stairs, just as I had hoped.

Even in her school uniform, she still looks beautiful and charming, exuding a youthful energy that movies and TV dramas can't capture.

"What are you looking at?"

Jiang Yiyao asked in an annoyed tone when she saw Xu Yan's gaze.

It seemed as if the whole morning was filled with resentment.

Xu Yan laughed, instinctively opening his mouth to tease the girl.

but...

His eyes blinked.

"We just met last night, so why do I feel like I don't really recognize you anymore?"

"...What's the meaning?"

Jiang Yiyao stopped in her tracks, paused, her expression somewhat bewildered, and her eyes held a hint of wariness.

After all, I'm used to this boy's way of speaking. Generally speaking, this kind of inexplicable starting move is usually followed by something that hurts me deeply.

But the boy in front of him shrugged, turned around, and left behind a lazy voice.

"It's okay, it's probably because the filter this season suits you and looks great."

Chapter 129 You're Quite Good at Helping Others

It rained quite a bit in October.

Although it rained heavily during the sports meet, it still ended successfully in the end.

It is said that the leaders are quite satisfied with the sports meet organized by the affiliated high school. However, that's how things are; as long as there are no major mistakes, it is considered a success.

For teachers and leaders, it may just mean that another "to-do item" has been resolved, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, for most students, the brief period of relaxation was quickly followed by a return to the intense study routine.

"Sigh, the outdoor exercise is over."

Qin Yifan lay listlessly on the table.

Xie Fei, who was standing next to him, nodded. "That's life. Short periods of ease, long periods of suffering."

"Hmm? You're quite the wordsmith, aren't you? Is this something you should be saying?"

"So what? I wrote a lot of promotional articles for the sports meet. I wrote 30% of them for our class."

Xie Fei then made that familiar crooked mouth expression again. It's hard to believe that someone so fat can make that kind of face with all that fat.

Qin Yifan said irritably, "What's the point of writing this? I thought you were going to play in a match."

"Hehe." Xie Fei chuckled, "But I did watch a few events, they were quite interesting... How do those sports trainers do it? That high jump, wow, they jumped so high!"

Qin Yifan glanced at Xie Fei, who looked envious.

I thought to myself, "You weigh over 200 pounds, you wouldn't want to do high jump, would you?"

Just then, Xu Yan put down his backpack and came to his seat. He overheard the two talking and immediately smiled at Xie Fei, saying, "If you jump out of the window now and elbow the ground, you'll definitely jump higher than them."

"You fucking idiot, isn't that just jumping off a building?!"

Xie Fei glared at him with his round little eyes. The chubby, adorable boy had no intimidating presence whatsoever when he did this.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing Xu Yan sit down, Xie Fei couldn't help but show an expression of admiration.

"Brother Xu, your 4000-meter run was amazing! I saw someone chasing you the whole time, but you left him behind halfway through. Were you involved in sports before?"

Xu Yan shook his head, "I've never done it before, maybe... it's a bonus on rainy days."

"Isn't this a debuff? How can it provide a bonus?" Xie Fei asked in confusion.

Qin Yifan, standing next to him, couldn't help but sneer, "This kind of Jiahao just thinks running in the rain is too cool, so he's especially excited, you know?"

"..."

Lu Yujie, who happened to be passing by, felt as if he had been shot in the knee.

Damn it, it feels like someone is speaking for me!

Those were supposed to be his lines... but now Lu Yujie couldn't bring himself to say them, and even after the competition ended, very few people knew that he had signed up for the contest!

Damn it... everyone's talking about how Xu Yan got first place.

Lu Yujie felt that this boy had stolen his life. Perhaps it was because of his bad background that he could muster the same drive to fight for meat in the jungle.

The thought that even if the other person tried their best, they still couldn't catch up with him at the starting line made him feel much better.

He even walked up to a group of people who were chatting and said with a smile, "Xu Yan ran well. I wasn't in good shape that day, but luckily you held on."

Xu Yan: ?

Where did this person come from?

Qin Yifan turned his head and glanced at Lu Yujie, who was still smiling politely. "What do you mean? You participated in the sports meet too?"

Lu Yujie: ...

He felt his cheeks burning. "I participated in the 4000 meters..."

Qin Yifan smiled and looked at Xie Fei, "Do you remember me?"

Xie Fei shook his head immediately, "I thought he was helping me write promotional articles, no wonder I was so tired from writing them, damn it!"

"..."

Lu Yujie stopped talking, his face darkened, and walked away.

Xu Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You look a little pale. Can you tell?"

Qin Yifan watched Lu Yujie's miserable figure disappear and sneered, "He deserved it. Winning is one thing, but running like that and still trying to act tough? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?"

Xie Fei chuckled, "It seems that before the race, he went around telling everyone he was participating in the 4,000 meters, but after the race, he disappeared by himself, and we almost couldn't find him."

Xu Yan didn't care about these kinds of trivial things that happened frequently.

After all, a school is a small society with all kinds of people, some likable and some disliked. Of course, this is not a reason to attack the other party, but you can't blame yourself for being passive and defensive.

These past few days have mostly been spent in this relaxed yet fast-paced atmosphere of classes, leaving Xu Yan feeling somewhat helpless with his newly acquired skills and savings.

November is getting closer and closer.

Unfortunately, Xu Yan was on the list for Friday's big clean-up.

Because of their height and long legs, they were directly responsible for cleaning the windows and sweeping the ceiling fans.

"Do a good job and clean all the windows properly, or you'll be held responsible."

Qin Yifan, who didn't need to clean, walked past Xu Yan, who was standing on a stool wiping the windows, with his hands in his pockets. Xu Yan pretended to throw the rag in his hand at Qin Yifan's face.

"grass!"

Qin Yifan dodged, but tripped and fell to the ground with a thud.

Xu Yan laughed so hard her whole body was shaking. Qin Yifan was so angry that he wanted to get up and retaliate, but when he looked up, he saw a cold face.

"Squad leader!"

Qin Yifan's voice was visibly trembling. His usual swagger and Jiahao-like demeanor had vanished, as if he had returned to his true self.

Are you going to do a thorough cleaning?

An Lulu asked in a cold voice. Qin Yifan got up, dusted himself off, and said, "I don't need it..."

"If you're not doing the spring cleaning, what are you doing? Do you really want to join in?"

"Uh... no way, I was just saying hello to Xu Yan~"

Xu Yan, who was pretending to diligently wipe the windows, immediately spoke up, "Squad leader, he kept interfering with my window-wiping, and even said he'd make me look bad if I didn't clean them properly..."

"Are you some kind of elementary school kid? Why are you tattlering on me?!"

Qin Yifan's eyes widened.

Then he saw An Lulu's even colder gaze, "You wipe it, Xu Yan, go help the other students."

"Okay~"

Xu Yan jumped off the stool, smiled at Qin Yifan, and ran off in small steps.

Qin Yifan: ? ? ?

"No, class monitor, I don't need to do cleaning. I'm not in this group for the big clean-up!"

"Everyone else is busy with their own things. Since you're so free, come and help out. Consider it a contribution to the class. I'll talk to the homeroom teacher."

What are you saying? Praising yourself? What kind of praise do you need?!

This is a threat!

But under An Lulu's indifferent gaze, Qin Yifan could only pick up the rag that Xu Yan had just thrown down, stand on the stool, and look ashen-faced as if he were about to be hanged.

Damn it, how come I believe Xu Yan's accusations but not his own explanations?

Inside the classroom, Xu Yan was already helping Wen Xueyu, who was struggling a bit, wipe the blackboard.

"Who exactly told you to erase the blackboard? Can you even manage that, you little potato?"

Xu Yan immediately asked a question.

Wen Xueyu's face was a little flushed. "They said the others were too much work, so they made me erase the blackboard... Besides, I'm not as tall as Little Potato, okay? I'm over 1.6 meters tall!"

The girl argued.
