How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

It's not unpleasant to listen to, but it sounds very soft.

Xu Yan did not reach out and embrace the soft, fragrant body so close to him, even though it seemed within easy reach and could be concealed by a legitimate reason.

But he stood there motionless, like a statue.

soon.

Shu Ying used the support to straighten her body, her face slightly flushed.

The boy's slight smirk was clearly visible.

He's making fun of himself... How awful.

If this happened at a company, she could fire the person without any repercussions.

But he wasn't his subordinate; he was just a young boy he'd only known for one night who was still in school... which made it even worse.

"You didn't even bother to help me up."

She had a slight dissatisfaction, but this resentful look was not as hurtful as her usual self, and was even less so than when she was expressionless.

Xu Yan smiled and said, "I was afraid of offending you."

What are you afraid of! You did it on purpose.

Seeing the other person's smile, Shu Ying stepped forward.

When they arrived at the bustling street, amidst the neon lights, Xu Yan reminded the other person, "Call a designated driver. Don't drive after drinking."

"It has already been called."

She rolled her eyes at the boy, then, remembering something, asked, "Want me to give you a ride home?"

"No need, it's not even on the way. You've had so much to drink, you should go back and rest early."

"Not many."

"I know that the most common thing people say when they drink is, 'I'm not drunk,' but there's no need for that."

Xu Yan shrugged.

Seeing the other person's indifferent attitude, Shu Ying snorted, "You know everything, except you can't drink it, right?"

"I've already said it's unnecessary, after all, I don't have that many worries."

One sentence left Shu Ying speechless.

I did come to box tonight because of some troubles, but drinking with him... it doesn't seem to be because of that.

His mental state is indeed enviable; I wasn't as carefree as him when I was a student.

"Okay, you can go now, I'll wait for the designated driver."

Shu Ying reached out and touched the strands of hair on her forehead. The messy black hair was reflected in various colors by the neon lights in the night, and the messiness was also a kind of beauty.

Xu Yan nodded and walked towards the roadside where the taxis were parked.

Seeing the other person turn around so easily, Shu Ying knew that this boy really didn't have any more fantasies or desires for her.

This should have been a comfortable performance, but it also raised a hint of doubt.

Is it because I'm too old and have no appeal to this guy?

After all, from the beginning until now, he hasn't even tried to ask for my contact information, let alone inquire about my work, lifestyle, or personality details...

Like a passing NPC, you can just go through the process... The problem is, I don't have any quests for him.

"Xu Yan".

As if possessed, Shu Ying called out the other person's name.

Xu Yan stopped and turned to look at her. "Is there anything else?"

"You..." A single strand of hair brushed past her eye, but she ignored it, only gently biting her tender red lower lip. "Are you still coming to box tomorrow?"

The boy, who was standing still with one hand in his pocket, thought for a moment and said, "Probably, I don't know."

"Oh."

"Is there anything else?"

"It's gone."

"Get some rest, goodbye sister."

"..."

Shu Ying thought to herself that he must have figured something out in the end.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have specifically added "older sister"... Really, do they really think they can appease themselves with such a title?

It's really bizarre and despicable.

Soon, Xu Yan got into a taxi and left, without even waiting for the designated driver to arrive.

Although I wasn't very drunk.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, the designated driver in front drove smoothly.

This familiar route home will pass by familiar scenes that I've seen countless times.

She opened the car window, letting the howling wind tousle her hair. It wasn't hot; in fact, it was somewhat cool, which seemed to help alleviate the effects of the alcohol.

Shu Ying felt that her rationality had returned to her mind. Everything that happened tonight was just an unexpected episode in her otherwise formulaic life, which was why it felt somewhat special to her.

In reality, life doesn't offer unexpected surprises every day, and that little boy named Xu Yan won't always seem interesting.

Novelty is such a fragile thing; maybe if I see this guy again tomorrow, I'll find him boring.

So go home and get some sleep; this memory is not worth mentioning.

Just as I was thinking this, while waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, the window of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class parked next to me slowly rolled down, revealing a smiling young face.

"Hey beautiful, it's fate that we're waiting for the bus at the same intersection. Want to add each other on WeChat?"

Shu Ying didn't say anything, calmly rolled up the car window, and gave the middle finger before it was completely closed.

When the red light ended, the car started again and sped along the road, and she slowly leaned back in her seat.

For some reason, I recalled the moment when I leaned against his chest, and how he could have easily taken advantage of me by simply reaching out.

Instead of doing that, he couldn't help but fantasize about what it would feel like to be held by him at that moment.

My face felt hot again, probably because the car window was closed.

Yeah, he's more interesting.

[Spend a perfect evening with a beautiful stranger, sharing fine wine.]

[Unlock achievement: The Journey of a Scumbag.]

[Reward: 10 achievement points and 2000 RMB cash!]

Damn, what does "cultivating the skills of a scumbag" even mean? He's never even tried flirting with a girl, let alone with an older woman.

Shu Ying was indeed different from the other girls at school, but she didn't cause Xu Yan much of a stir.

He knew perfectly well that it was just the novelty of leaving his familiar environment that was acting up. The difference in their status was huge, and if he were to expect anything, he would undoubtedly become a clown.

So she didn't even try to add his contact information. She's the kind of woman who seems easy to talk to and not so cold, but her guard is actually on high alert.

The first meeting is probably when she's easiest to talk to; as for subsequent meetings... she'll only become more and more difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, Xu Yan was only thinking about completing tasks to earn achievement points.

Speaking of missions...

What happened to my task, buddy? Trying to shirk it, huh?

[Mission complete!]

[Bonus Skill: Lingering Fragrance]

【Lingering Fragrance: Passive skill that ensures your oral health, preventing any bad breath. It may even produce a captivating fragrance.】

Xu Yan: ?

Good oral health, no bad breath...that sounds great, but what does the following part mean?

So embarrassing!

What's the intention behind specifically describing the existence of this effect? ​​Quickly retract the second half!

[The skill effect cannot be changed; the entire skill can only be deleted.]

Oh, well, there's nothing I can do about it then.

Since we've already given it, we can't just take it back, right? So here's the crucial question...

If you've been given the skill, wouldn't it be a waste not to try it out?

What if the system is lying, right?

system:【...】

……

Chapter 63 This is not bad either

The first day of the holiday.

Although he had acquired new skills and it seemed unnecessary to clean his mouth, Xu Yan still maintained a ritualistic and normal washing routine.

The main issue is that if you don't frantically stir something in your mouth every morning and then spit out white foam, wouldn't anyone find it strange?

Since her parents were both on leave today, there was no one at home by the time Xu Yan finished her work.

Just as I was thinking about what to have for breakfast, there was a calm and rhythmic knocking at the door.

Xu Yan was taken aback.

This information age is amazing! My food delivery arrived at my door before I even thought about ordering it?
