How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

【nonsense!】

Hahahaha!

What's so funny?!

The light from the phone screen shone on a slightly flushed face.

Soon, Jiang Yiyao sent another message.

Remember, this is just a small warning from your sister Yao. Show her respect in the future, or it won't be just a scare tactic.

They've finally shown their true colors!

Xu Yan sneered.

Don't forget, you've been living alone lately, so you'd better be careful.

Add a meme of a cunning puppy licking a knife wound.

Yao Yiyao: [It's okay, if anything happens to me, I'll go find Aunt Wang and Uncle Xu.]

Xu Yan: [Why are you tattling? Are you still a child?]

Yao Yiyao: [Girls are always like little kids, haven't you heard that?]

Xu Yan: [I'll listen to you, but then I'll accuse you of trying to steal peaches like a monkey.]

Yao Yiyao: [?]

Yao Yiyao: [If I were really going to steal, you'd be the only eunuch of this new era by now.]

Xu Yan: [Are you really a girl? There's no need to be so perverted, is there?]

Yao Yiyao: [I have no obligation to inform you, but remember this: your nightmare has returned.]

Xu Yan: ...

Xu Yan: [Jiaxin, right? Okay, I admit, you've really impressed me.]

Yao Yiyao: [Are you blind? Is there anyone as pretty as Jiaxin as me? I'm too lazy to argue with you anymore. I'm going to sleep. Wake me up tomorrow.]

Xu Yan: [Okay, I'll definitely call you when I get to the classroom.]

Jiang Yiyao sent an eye-rolling emoji and then didn't respond.

Xu Yan left the chat window and glanced at the message list outside, noticing that the class group was unusually active today.

Perhaps because school starts tomorrow, many people are already eager to share their summer experiences, but Xu Yan is too lazy to read them.

He always felt that he seemed a bit isolated in class, and the reason he had few friends was not because there was anything wrong with him, but because these people were too boring.

These blatant displays of arrogance are so obvious, it's pointless.

However, something unusual happened: Lin Jia, who usually seemed very 'quiet' in the class group chat, talked quite a bit today.

Basically, Lin Jia offered a lot of emotional value to many of the summer travel photos posted by the boys, and because of her positive comments, these boys became like peacocks displaying their plumage. In a series of chat messages, five out of ten were replies from different boys specifically to Lin Jia.

As a result, Xu Yan has become somewhat desensitized to the name Lin Jia.

Hmm, it's time to desensitize.

[Task 2: A satisfying date has been completed!]

[The reward will be given while you sleep, completing the physical enhancement. Get some rest, goodnight.]

You see, even without Lin Jia, there will still be someone to say goodnight to you, even if it's not a person, but just a system.

However, Xu Yan had almost forgotten about the mission before this notification appeared, as he was completely immersed in the 'deception and intrigue' with Jiang Yiyao, thoroughly enjoying the thrill of the battle.

It's just a little strange, is this really a date? What's so satisfying about it?

Oh, so as long as Jiang Yiyao is satisfied, that's fine. Then it's alright. She seemed quite happy today, but it's alright.

A smile doesn't disappear, it just moves on. Don't underestimate a young person's potential; it will eventually show on your own face.

sleep!

When Xu Yan left the park, she thought tonight might be hard to get through, but surprisingly, she fell asleep very easily.

He even had a dream in which he became Superman, punched through a wall, jumped from the eighteenth floor, and grabbed Jiang Yiyao, who was in the bike shed preparing to secretly deflate her bike tires.

Then he ripped off her skirt and wrote tally marks all over her white legs.

Finally, he tickled her fair and rosy soles, repeatedly asking, "Do you submit? Do you submit to your brother Xu now?"

Jiang Yiyao burst into tears, her face full of regret: "I give up! Brother Xu is truly a brother!"

"Sweet!"

Upon waking, the boy holding the flag aloft gave a precise assessment.

Xu Yan sensed something was wrong as soon as he got out of bed.

What exactly is burning so fiercely inside my body?!

"Thump thump thump thump!" She quickly ran to the bathroom and took off her shirt in front of the mirror.

Those bulging arm muscles, those faintly visible abdominal muscles, those broad shoulders and back that are already showing signs of a double-door opening...

Looking down, one sees an even more vibrant and energetic spirit than youthful vitality.

Is this system for real?!

"Hahahahahaha!!"

"What's wrong with this child? Has he gone mad?"

Hearing the almost hysterical laughter coming from the bathroom, Xu Jia'an didn't even bother to wipe the edges of the toilet, and looked at his wife with concern.

Wang Hui rolled her eyes at Xu Jia'an, "Don't you think the child is much happier since Yao Yao came back?"

Xu Jia'an pondered for 0.03 seconds.

"That's true."

The next moment, an even more terrifying noise came from the bathroom: "I am a dragon!"

The couple looked at each other, and Xu Jia'an put down his phone with a serious expression.

"I knew we didn't burn enough money at the grave last Qingming Festival!"

After finishing breakfast, Xu Yan went downstairs.

I first drove the bicycle out of the shed and checked again. Thankfully, it was alright. At least Jiang Yiyao wasn't that weird, going downstairs in the middle of the night to vent her own anger.

I waited for a while, about two minutes.

Xu Yan saw the figure slowly emerge from the stairwell: a white backpack, a loose black T-shirt, and a high ponytail.

The early September sun shone on her fair face, like a sea of ​​pink and white flowers; everything was beautiful.

The only thing that bothered Xu Yan was the denim trousers that covered her legs; for the first time in her life, she hated jeans so much.

"You don't treat your buddies like brothers, do you?" Xu Yan asked the moment she stood in front of him.

"Slow down! I've been waiting for you for half an hour. Can you get up or not? If you can't, you're dropping out of school!"

"You're really angry, Xu Yan." Jiang Yiyao narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Xu Yan. "Stop looking. Summer is almost over, and you won't have any legs to show me anymore."

"...Spreading rumors so early in the morning, huh? Who saw your legs? I didn't grow any myself."

Standing at 1.78 meters tall, he still looks quite convincing next to a girl who is 1.68 meters tall.

Jiang Yiyao, who was not bothered by pressure at all, went straight to the back of Xu Yan's bicycle, sat down gracefully, and looked at Xu Yan.

"Stop talking nonsense, are you coming or not? You're going to be late, aren't you?"

"It's pointless to only run away from things and not face them head-on."

Xu Yan straddled the car, not forgetting to remind him, "You can grab my clothes, but don't take advantage of me, or I'll throw you off."

Jiang Yiyao scoffed from behind, "Trying to take advantage of you? If you haven't experienced it, go to the market and buy two pounds of pig's head meat. At least you can still eat it."

Be even more venomous with your words!

Lord Xu Yan, not holding a grudge against a petty person, stepped on the pedal and set off.

Wandering through the streets and alleys of the old town, the azure sky, tinged with the golden rays of the rising sun, is fragmented into many pieces by the crisscrossing power lines.

The jet exhaust left a white tunnel, and the sunlight thinned the boy's short hair and dyed the girl's flying hair into golden satin.

There was not much more to say during that time; the only sound was the wind passing through the silence.

He couldn't smell the fragrance of her hair behind him, but she could smell the scent of the boy's clothes after they had been dried in the sun.

She gently placed her hands on Xu Yan's waist, her face slightly flushed from the morning sun.

Xu Yan, who was in front, suddenly spoke up, "Do you know about the strange tale of rules in Liangcheng?"

"What the hell?" Jiang Yiyao asked, completely bewildered.

"When there's someone in the back seat, there's bound to be an emergency stop at some intersection."

Jiang Yiyao bit her pink lower lip. "If you dare to slam on the brakes, I'll steal a peach. You try it."

"..." This woman is a sore loser, it's pointless.

Ultimately, no sudden braking occurred; Xu Yan's cycling skills were unbelievably good.

However, at an intersection some distance from the school, Jiang Yiyao directly asked to get off the bus.

Xu Yan stopped the car and looked at the tall girl getting out. "There's still a long way to go. Are you going to walk?"

Jiang Yiyao snorted, "On the first day of school, I don't want people to see me in your car and misunderstand that we have something going on. It would be troublesome for a beautiful girl like me to be embroiled in rumors right after transferring schools."

Xu Yan burst out laughing. "If my mom hadn't kept saying she'd take you around to familiarize yourself with the area on the first day of school, I wouldn't have bothered giving you a ride. And you even misunderstood. My reputation is important too, you know."

This woman is so materialistic, she just uses you and then throws you away.

How is this any different from Lin Jia?

Just as he was about to leave Jiang Yiyao behind and ride away, he heard Jiang Yiyao's voice, "Wait a minute."

Xu Yan turned around and said, "Want to get in the car now? Say something nice first."

The girl, bathed in sunlight, rolled her eyes. "You're crazy. I'll treat you to breakfast since you gave me a ride. If you don't want to eat, fine."

Xu Yan blinked.
