How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

As he spoke, he tried to pull his companion away.

Although it's only a five-point deduction for hygiene, it's not a big deal. We're in our final year of high school, so it won't cause any serious problems.

However, the strange things happening everywhere still made An Lulu very unhappy. She had to speak out about anything she was dissatisfied with and couldn't stand being wronged at all.

"you..."

Just as she was about to step forward to speak, a hand grabbed her forearm.

An Lulu immediately overreacted and wanted to shake off this person, no matter who it was.

She dislikes uninvited physical contact and hates it when someone bothers her at such times.

But before she could react, the other person had already let go of her hand and stood in front of her.

She paused for a moment, then looked at the tall figure as he walked directly up to the boy who had been speaking aggressively and with inexplicable hostility.

"What...what are you going to do? This is a school!"

Xu Yan's sudden appearance was quite oppressive, causing him to feel a sense of panic. His eyes seemed to clear up as he realized that he was just a member of the student council, not a real leader with power.

Xu Yan smiled at him, but he didn't understand what the smile meant.

The boy reached out and grabbed him directly.

"you...!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't do it!"

The boy, who had been silent as if watching a show, started shouting, and the girl panicked, thinking it was about to escalate into something serious.

Xu Yan quickly pulled his hand out of the other person's pocket and opened his palm.

The group of people stood there, stunned.

Xu Yan held some fragments in his hand, which were very similar to those from before.

"this..."

The girl paused, looked up at Xu Yan, and then at her companion.

The boy looked very unpleasant and was speechless for a moment. His expression was so sour that you could almost smell it.

Xu Yan smiled and looked at the group, "I understand. It probably fell out accidentally while you were recording. Of course, if we still have to deduct points because of your mistake, I'll ask the teacher to check the surveillance footage later."

The boy clenched his fist slightly, looking at Xu Yan, "Check the surveillance footage? Surely not... that doesn't prove anything..."

He wanted to say something else.

But at this moment, An Lulu also spoke up, "It doesn't matter if we lose five points or something. If it's because of us, of course it's fine. But if it's because of you, I can't accept it."

"..."

The group of people looked at each other.

The young couple stood there, inseparable, showing no intention of moving aside.

This shows that they are not willing to compromise their stance in the slightest.

Seeing the situation freeze, it was the girl who finally spoke up, "...It was indeed our mistake. We're sorry, we won't deduct any points."

An Lulu's expression finally softened.

Xu Yan simply nodded, and the three of them quickly left. The boy took the lead and walked very fast; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he had been wronged.

Xu Yan clearly heard An Lulu let out a long sigh of relief. He turned his head and looked over. "Are you alright?"

An Lulu lowered her head, then raised it again, seemingly trying to calm herself down. "I'm fine."

Seeing the girl shaking her head, Xu Yan couldn't help but laugh, "You seemed to be shaking a little just now, are you really okay?"

This is a detail that Xu Yan observed earlier. An Lulu looked quite cool when she said those words, but it was clear that her legs were a little weak and her hands were shaking when she walked up.

An Lulu was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly tidied her hair. "No, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

Xu Yan nodded. "Then maybe I saw it wrong. Let's go eat."

"...I do tend to tremble when I get emotional, it's been like this since I was a child, so I don't like to be affected by my emotions."

They admitted it anyway.

Xu Yan looked at the other person's expression; they seemed quite embarrassed, and their faces even changed color slightly, which was rather cute.

This is what a typical young girl is like.

"It's okay, I feel pretty good. At least it proves that it's a real emotion, not an act. I think it's cool."

Handsome?

An Lulu thought it was still cooler for the boy to just walk up and reach into his pocket.

Of course, she was too embarrassed to say it directly, so the two of them walked out of the classroom and headed towards the stairwell.

An Lulu couldn't help but ask, "But wasn't it a bit too hasty of you to just reach into his pocket? What if he'd already thrown everything away and had no pockets left?"

Xu Yan chuckled as he pulled his hand out of his pocket, revealing another pile of shredded paper.

An Lulu's pupils dilated slightly, as if she was only just realizing what was happening.

Then they heard the boy's magnetic voice, "I put it there myself, why isn't it there?"

……

Chapter 131 And you even followed me?

It was An Lulu who suggested the location; it was a restaurant on the street outside the school that looked quite clean.

It has a slight "trendy" restaurant vibe, but not too much. The menu includes traditional dishes as well as some innovative dishes with trendy names.

Xu Yan never expected that An Lulu would like to eat at this restaurant.

At An Lulu's suggestion, we ordered three dishes, which should be enough for two people.

Sitting in a clean spot, Xu Yan asked curiously, "You like eating at this place?"

An Lulu said softly, "I don't eat here often, but sometimes there are unexpected situations and I don't have time to go to the cafeteria, so I eat here. It's quieter here."

"Quiet? That's not exactly what you'd expect from a meal. And what about the taste?"

"It's not bad."

"Goodness, you really are something, class monitor."

For the first time, Xu Yan uttered the name he had kept hidden in his heart.

Before he even realized it, An Lulu's expression had changed.

What does he call himself?

What a strange name!

But her lips moved; in the end, she chose not to press the matter.

Xu Yan thought of a new topic, "By the way, those people...do you have some kind of history with them? Why are they targeting our class like this?"

An Lulu did not shy away from the question, saying, "It's aimed at me."

"That boy?"

"you know?"

"I don't know. When they came in, they saw me standing next to you, and that guy gave me a disgusted look. So, it turns out he has a past with you?"

"There's not much of a story. He was my classmate in junior high school, but we haven't had any contact since we were separated into different classes."

Xu Yan laughed and said, "There must be a story from when you graduated from junior high school. Did he confess to you and get rejected?"

The girl looked at him strangely, pushing up her glasses. "Why would you think that?"

"I guessed right?"

"No."

"Hmm? What's the reason for that?"

The girl calmly took a sip of tea from the table. "His boyfriend from junior high liked me. He confessed to me, but I rejected him. Then he found out, and that's how it ended."

Xu Yan: ...

Is this even a language of Earth?

Her boyfriend?!

Xu Yan was stunned for a long time before picking up the water and nodding repeatedly, "I still didn't think it through. I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous before."

What junior high school did An Lulu attend? I'd better avoid this!

"You don't need to apologize; it's not a common occurrence anyway."

"I don't understand, but let's respect that first."

Xu Yan was initially worried that the boy might cause him trouble behind his back, and he was prepared to be challenged. Damn it... now he was actually a little afraid that the other party would come after him.

"But after so long, he's probably back to normal by now."

Xu Yan quickly waved his hand, "We can't say things like that. Orientation is a matter of personal freedom. We should just respect that."

An Lulu looked at the other person strangely, "You're really amazing."

Soon, the food was served.

Xu Yan tried the dish first and felt that it tasted okay. It wasn't particularly amazing, but it was above average.

Having gotten used to the local cuisine, it's nice to try something different once in a while.

Xu Yan, true to form, had a good appetite and finished almost all the food.

"This is delicious, but it must have been expensive, right? How about we split the bill, class monitor?"

Xu Yan said this.

I glanced at the menu when ordering and saw that most dishes were priced above 15 yuan, which would be a bit of a strain for an average high school student.
