How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Xu Yan's lips twitched.

Now that's great, there's finally a place to use the cashback card!

Chapter 55 The Naughty Dog

"Tomorrow's a holiday, what are you planning to do?"

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, bathing office buildings and crowded streets during the morning rush hour.

The summer heat was gradually dissipating, and the autumn breeze swept freely through the hems of the boys' and girls' clothes and the rolling tires of bicycles.

Jiang Yiyao felt that she had become familiar with Xu Yan's scent, especially when the wind brought it to her nose.

This feeling is special.

How to put it? Perhaps it's like someone who's trying to lose weight and is disciplined enough to run at night. They always seem to run down the same street because they can always smell the aroma of barbecue there.

"What can we do? We have to make the most of these few days to study hard and do practice tests."

The boy's voice came through the wind, and it felt special, like two people talking on the phone through a curtain.

Slightly distorted, but it avoids eye contact.

"Can't you put a little effort into lying? It's so clumsy, it's like you're talking with your feet."

Xu Yan: ?

Isn't that a bit too vicious?

"Okay, I admit I'm going to play games like crazy at home during the holidays."

Xu Yan said, half-jokingly.

"Tch, useless thing." The girl behind her made a merciless comment, and she, sitting sideways, actually felt it was very unfair.

A girl should sit like this to be elegant, but it's actually not comfortable, and she can only see half of the scenery and half of his profile.

"I can't lie, and I can't tell the truth either."

"Because the way you speak exudes a rotten and decaying aura, like a hyena."

Hyenas? Those are no good creatures, especially female hyenas, whose reproductive structure is quite remarkable and who are very aggressive.

"What do you mean 'rotten at the bottom'? This is scarlet putrefaction. Be careful, it might infect you."

Xu Yan said dismissively.

Despite making herself sound so pathetic, she still obediently sits in the back seat. Ha, women.

"Those few days of vacation..." Jiang Yiyao paused for a moment, seemingly about to say something, but then stopped abruptly, only saying half of what she meant.

Clearly, this young man, whose temperament is not yet mature enough, is already quite eager to try it out.

"What's wrong? Don't leave things unsaid."

"Hmph, it's nothing."

Jiang Yiyao originally wanted to say that the day was not far away... but unfortunately, it wasn't a holiday, so she wanted to come earlier.

But wouldn't it be pointless to say it out loud? So, conflicted, I kept it to myself.

Oh well, if he doesn't remember, he doesn't remember. I didn't really need it anyway.

Xu Yan remained silent for a moment, then spoke towards the direction of the wind.

"I'm not actually that curious, or rather, the person who was forced to listen didn't have that strong desire to explore."

"I don't understand, what are you barking like a dog?"

Jiang Yiyao said, embarrassed and annoyed.

"What I mean is, usually the person who deliberately keeps their mouth shut is the one who suffers more; be careful not to choke on your words."

"Get lost, it's none of your business."

Xu Yan chuckled, said nothing more, and steadily continued to pedal.

Looking at the rising sun in the east, Xu Yan felt he had guessed what she was about to say. She was quite impatient, wasn't she, Ji Yao?

Jiang Yiyao refused to speak.

She felt that Xu Yan already knew. That's how young boys are; they keep things bottled up, hoping to surprise someone with something big... but they can't actually deliver anything. They're only good at messing things up.

Ha, she wouldn't expect that.

Jiang Yiyao got out of the car not far from the school gate, and Xu Yan noticed that she was getting closer and closer to the school gate.

Why not avoid it? Because you're not afraid?

Arriving at the classroom, I put down my backpack in my familiar spot, guessing that I'd be changing seats soon, probably after the National Day holiday.

As soon as I put down my schoolbag, my hand instinctively reached into the drawer.

...really.

How many days has it been like this?

Xu Yan glanced at it; today's chocolate was Dove white chocolate.

Since that day, her drawer has been replenished with desserts every morning, not a large quantity, just enough to last a day. The key is that no matter how early Xu Yan arrives each day, he has no way of accurately identifying who is putting the desserts in her drawer.

He even suspected that the system had been secretly modified, generating random desserts for his drawer every day.

This level of 'persistence' brought back memories of his junior high school days. He remembered that it was similar, starting from a certain day and continuing until he graduated from junior high.

Therefore, Xu Yan now has to change his approach.

Since we couldn't catch them in the morning, it might mean they weren't released in the morning at all, so they were released after evening self-study? Then who left the classroom the latest?

Xu Yan's gaze swept across the entire classroom, including the bespectacled girl who had just entered and, after meeting his eyes, nervously and shyly looked away.

You are all suspects now!

Well, it's not really important. Xu Yan is too lazy to be a famous detective. As long as nothing special, like something from the past, doesn't appear in the drawer, he won't bother to investigate the secret.

"Finally, it's vacation time, damn it!"

Qin Yifan was drinking iced cola early in the morning, leaning against the table next to Xu Yan. Before, he had been leaning against Liu Shusheng's side.

"Drinking iced cola first thing in the morning, are you really not afraid of getting sick?"

The speaker was Ma Jiamin, who was sitting next to Wen Xueyu. Xu Yan had gradually become familiar with her over the past few days. Ma Jiamin and Qin Yifan seemed to have known each other for a long time, probably because of their families. Their connection was probably no less than that between Xu Yan and Jiang Yiyao.

"Young people have strong stomachs, what's there to be afraid of as long as it doesn't spill out of their pockets?" Qin Yifan didn't care about saving face in front of Ma Jiamin, unlike his usual reserved and flirtatious self.

Xu Yan looked at the two of them with amusement, "Be careful you don't get diarrhea when you're old and end up being beaten by the caregiver on the bed."

Qin Yifan glared at Xu Yan, annoyed. "You talk as if I'm old and can't find a wife or children to support me. You'd better be more venomous."

"Do you have any plans for the holiday?" Ma Jiamin suddenly asked.

Qin Yifan chuckled, "Playing games."

"Can't you have some ambition? All you do during vacation is play video games. Boys are so boring, aren't they, Xuebao?" Ma Jiamin said, looking at Wen Xueyu next to her.

Just as Wen Xueyu was about to nod in agreement, she heard Xu Yan say to Qin Yifan, "Great minds think alike. If we don't play games, are we supposed to beat our wives?"

The girl bit her lower lip. "Well, it's alright... After all, playing games is much better than partying outside."

Ma Jiamin: ?

When did you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, betray us? You're not even married yet, how can you make such timid, wife-like remarks!

She sighed, then said irritably, "Playing games is so boring. Do you want to go out and play tomorrow?"

"What's there to play? I don't believe anything is more fun than games," Qin Yifan said with absolute certainty.

Ma Jiamin didn't want to talk to this guy anymore, so she turned to Xu Yan and said, "Xu Yan, do you want to come out and have some fun? You've got nothing to do anyway."

Xu Yan thought for a moment, "Then it depends on what we're doing... If it's just shopping with you girls or something, then forget it."

That's not playing around, that's a rally race.

"I don't think shopping is interesting. It's better to look at Taobao at night... I mean, the weather's been nice lately, so we can go camping, have a barbecue, and eat something. Xuebao can go too."

"Huh? I'm going too?" Wen Xueyu was taken aback.

Ma Jiamin smiled and looked at her friend, "Aren't you going?"

Hmm? If I don't go, then it'll just be Xu Yan, Ma Jiamin, and maybe Qin Yifan... Damn!

"I can go too... I have nothing else to do anyway."

Before she could say more than a few words, Wen Xueyu's face had already turned red, which was very noticeable because her skin was so fair.

Ma Jiamin didn't expose him, but looked at Xu Yan and asked, "So, are you going or not?"

Xu Yan replied helplessly, "Come whenever you have time, but don't make it too expensive, I can't afford it."

It's not that I really can't afford it; my current savings are more than enough for the expenses of a normal high school student.

Ma Jiamin smiled and said, "Then we have four people now."

Qin Yifan was stunned.

"Four? You're counting me?"

"Nonsense, if you, this rich dog, don't go, who's going to treat us?"

"Damn it, are you trying to kill an old man here?!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm thinking of inviting a few more people, it would be nice to have more fun."

Qin Yifan snorted, "Suit yourself, you can't take money out of my wallet anyway."

"Can I only call girls?"

What time tomorrow?

He's definitely a closet pervert.
