How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

"Your school."

"Huh? Transferring schools?"

"What, do you own the school? You're not letting me study there?"

"You're really being irritating. That's not what I meant at all."

Why is she suddenly coming to my school? There was no warning at all... But then again, it makes sense. Where someone chooses to study, whether they transfer schools or not, has nothing to do with me.

So I changed my approach, "I'm just wondering, won't transferring schools suddenly during my senior year of high school have any impact?"

Noticing that Xu Yan's tone had returned to normal, Jiang Yiyao became less confrontational.

"What impact could it have? Is there anything else? If not, you can step down."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be closing the door immediately, Xu Yan let go of the door first, then looked at the mottled wall next to her with children's graffiti, avoiding eye contact.

"My mom asked me to invite you to dinner."

"Aunt Wang... I have no choice but to go. I'll pack up and come over."

Jiang Yiyao answered in this way.

Xu Yan turned around. "From what you're saying, if I called you, you wouldn't have come?"

Jiang Yiyao scoffed, "I'll think about it."

What are you considering?

"Consider what kind of knife to bring."

"...So violent."

Have you ever heard of "going to a banquet alone with a single sword"? Do you know the Green Dragon Crescent Blade?

"Oh, you're being so dirty-minded, you're setting my Zishen's pace like this."

"You're always coming up with your lousy jokes. I'm going to close up and clean up now. I'll be up in a bit."

"Alright, hurry up and come over, the food is ready."

Xu Yan was too lazy to argue with her anymore, but he couldn't understand it. Would he really have countless entanglements, even regrets, with a girl like this in the future? What a joke! Were there no other women in the world?

However, Xu Yan had a darker thought: what if his lack of success was caused by this woman? That would make much more sense.

"wait a moment."

Just as Xu Yan was about to turn and leave, Jiang Yiyao called out to him.

"what happened?"

Then we saw Jiang Yiyao open the door wider, fully revealing her appearance and figure.

She didn't change her clothes, but instead swapped her sneakers for open-toed slippers. There was no colorful nail polish, only full, round, and distinct toes that radiated a delicate and crystalline luster. The veins on the instep were faintly visible, and there was no dead skin or cracks, only healthy and bony ankles.

She held out her clenched fist and said, "It would be bad if I didn't prepare anything for your dinner, so I'll bring you a small gift."

"You even bring a gift for a meal, so polite... What kind of gift is it?"

Will she give herself a gift?

Xu Yan reached out to take it with a skeptical look, and then saw her flip her wrist, open her palm, and reveal a... valve core.

"Isn't this a bicycle valve core? Why are you giving me this... Wait, could this be...?"

Remember to cheer yourself up for school tomorrow!

"boom!"

Xu Yan clenched his fists and watched the security door close rapidly.

Good grief, no wonder I saw her lurking around her bicycle like that, it was her bicycle's valve core!

How could she be so mean!

"Jiang Yiyao, you fucking get out here!!"

Hmm? But how does she know which bicycle she owns...?

Hearing the loud knocking at the door that then gradually faded away, the girl smiled happily.

She even hummed a little tune with contentment.

However, he still frowned when he saw the pile of cardboard boxes that had just been moved in in the living room.

"Never mind, let's change our clothes first."

Moving the boxes was a bit of a struggle.

"Clang!"

The box tipped over and a letter fell out, a letter that was rarely used in this era.

Her first reaction upon seeing it was to blush slightly, and like a guilty thief, she quickly picked up the letter, even squeezing it so hard that her fingers wrinkled a little.

"Just burn it!"

He said this, but after hesitating for a while, he sighed and carefully smoothed it out before putting it in a beautiful box to preserve it.

After doing all this, he couldn't help but space out for a while before standing up and shaking his head.

"Still so annoying...but still pretty stupid, believing whatever I say, hmph."

She was already looking forward to seeing a little boy tomorrow morning, or even tonight, carrying an air pump downstairs, only to end up looking completely bewildered and scratching his head in confusion.

The flower language associated with valve cores is "playing with".

……

Chapter 4: Did the monkey steal peaches?

"Did Yao Yao come back alone this time?"

There was almost twice as much food on the table as usual; Xu Yan could only experience this kind of scale during holidays.

Some experiences are things you never get even during holidays, like the girl next to me right now.

Jiang Yiyao, who hadn't changed her clothes but simply tied her loose long hair into a high ponytail, sat down next to Xu Yan.

On the other end of the line was his mother, Wang Hui, speaking.

Compared to her previous harsh attitude towards herself, Jiang Yiyao was like a completely different person now, with a sweet smile and kind eyes.

A bad woman can switch forms at any time.

"Yes, it's more convenient for my parents to work over there."

"Will transferring schools in your senior year of high school affect your studies?"

Xu Jia'an asked the same question that Xu Yan had asked before.

Jiang Yiyao simply thought for a moment and replied with a smile, "No, I just felt that the environment there wasn't really suitable for me to study properly."

"Isn't No. 1 High School a key school? Isn't it uncomfortable studying there?"

"Hmm... not good, that's why I'm thinking of transferring schools."

Xu Yan noticed that a complex emotion flashed across Jiang Yiyao's face when she said those words, but it was only fleeting.

"I see..."

"The affiliated high school is also a very good school, it won't have any impact."

She adjusted quickly, showing no signs of any unnecessary emotion.

"That's good. It's perfect that you're going to the same school as Xu Yan. You'll have company on your way to school, haha."

Xu Jia'an said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu Yan asked curiously, "Which class did you transfer to?"

"Experiment Class 3"

Xu Yan was taken aback. "An experimental class?"

Seeing Xu Yan's gaze, Jiang Yiyao couldn't help but reveal her true nature with a sneer, "What, are you in a regular class?"

"...Is the parallel class bothering you?"

The boy stubbornly refused to admit it.

Xu Yan actually had very good grades when he entered school, thanks to the solid foundation he had built in junior high school.

However, it's unclear whether it was due to not adapting to the surrounding environment or the influence of certain personality traits during puberty, but he gradually fell behind. Everyone around him was making progress, while he was the only one who could barely maintain an average level, so he could only struggle in the regular class.

Jiang Yiyao chuckled and lowered her voice, "You didn't get in my way, so to be honest, I should apologize."

"Had a change of heart? But it's okay, don't be too self-conscious. A good experimental class is no worse than a regular class."

“I was able to get into the honors class after transferring schools, while you’ve been stuck in the regular class for two years. That’s true, but it might have hurt your pride, so you should apologize.”

"..."

Is this what you call academic humiliation? He made a gesture that insulted Han Nan while saying the word "little".

"Never underestimate a young man's potential, Nalan Yiyao."

Xu Yan gripped the chopsticks tightly.

Jiang Yiyao lowered her head to eat, but her voice could still be heard clearly.

"Don't talk about fortunes changing every thirty years, I'm afraid you'll sink into the river."

"It's a mess. I'm a good swimmer. Liang Jiang can't drown me."

"It's okay, I'll show up in time. I'll step on the head if it's good."

Xu Yan: ?

He's flying on a sword!

Xu Yan couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to this cunning and vicious girl.
