How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Xu Yan looked at Qin Yifan strangely, "Why get rid of her?"

Qin Yifan didn't explain further, just kept shaking his head, "You'll understand once you've experienced it, but you'd better not try it. That's all the advice I can give you."

"Oh, thank you."

"fine."

"By the way, what's your WeChat ID? QQ is fine too, let's exchange contact information."

Xu Yan took the initiative to make the suggestion.

Qin Yifan was taken aback for a moment, "Add me on WeChat?"

"Is that not allowed? Or is there an entry fee?"

Qin Yifan said irritably, "Do I need your paltry sums? Even though you're a newly promoted guy who's only been here for a day, since you're so insistent..."

"Stop with the nonsense, are you going to add me or not?"

"Damn, don't I need to grab my phone?"

"I understand~ That's what being a tsundere is like, right? It's embarrassing to be asked for your contact information, isn't it?"

"You're shy, my foot!"

"If you weren't a guy, I'd almost see the progress bar above your head, like you're playing some obscure game."

"Get lost! Don't disgust me."

"Ha ha ha ha."

After adding each other's contact information, Qin Yifan casually added Xu Yan to the class group. However, Xu Yan had no intention of commenting for the time being, and put away her phone, looking ahead with a bored expression.

Even without classes, everything is happening vividly. The boys and girls are playing around, chasing each other in childish games, and the little boys playing pranks that make the girls angry.

Only the figure at the very front of the group remained firmly seated. When someone came to greet her, she would only give a perfunctory response, or perhaps just a nod.

Xu Yan's mind was flooded with images from long ago, some of which were blurry and faded like old photographs.

The sounds were quickly dispersed by the school bell, turning into a sky full of floating clouds.

Normal classes, breaks, and evening self-study. Apart from the occasional brush past each other, there was no interaction, and even eye contact was rare.

When Xu Yan finished school in the evening, he was riding his bicycle not far from the school gate when he suddenly remembered something, stopped his bicycle, and took out his phone.

He sent a message to Jiang Yiyao, asking if she wanted him to give her a ride home.

I waited for two minutes but there was no response.

Xu Yan suddenly realized what was happening.

"Oh no, she's going to roll away!"

I got on the bike and started pedaling furiously.

He pedaled the bicycle to its fullest extent, letting out a deafening roar, like an angry lion!

"Um... the last train is almost here, are we really going to be able to get home if we don't get on?"

At the bus stop near the school gate, Xiao Lili had been with the girl beside her for a while.

Several cars had already passed by, but Jiang Yiyao insisted on waiting a little longer.

Xiao Lili didn't know what she was waiting for. Could it be that these cars weren't her favorite colors?

"Oh dear, the next bus is leaving soon, what's the rush? Is there someone you urgently need to see?"

Jiang Yiyao kept a close eye on the time on her phone.

Xiao Lili sighed, "I don't actually have anyone in a hurry to see, but it seems like there's someone you particularly don't want to see?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Jiang Yiyao's whole body trembled.

Xiao Lili narrowed her eyes. "You seem to be running away from something, hesitating to go home... What happened?"

Jiang Yiyao quickly shook her head, "It's nothing, I just really miss you and want to chat with you a little longer."

"Do you even believe that yourself?" Xiao Lili couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You've been here with me for over ten minutes, and you haven't looked up at me more than a few times. You've been looking at your phone the whole time..."

"Okay, stop rushing us. Let's take the next bus, alright?"

"...I'm not in a hurry, it's mainly about what you need."

"Okay, how about we don't go home tonight? Did you bring your ID?"

Xiao Lili's eyes widened. "I like men, don't mess with me!"

"My orientation is fine, what are you thinking? I've discovered that you seem naive, but you actually know everything."

"I'm not talking to you about that, the car's here, let's go!"

Xiao Lili realized that she couldn't be too compliant with Jiang Yiyao, otherwise Jiang Yiyao would start attacking her.

She looks exactly like Xu Yan. Can't these two just be locked in for good?

From the moment she got on the bus until she got off, Jiang Yiyao remained in a state of worry.

To be honest, I really don't want to go home. Damn Xu Yan... how did he actually get promoted?

Don't ask yourself how you know; there's always a way.

Although she did indeed practice that song almost inexplicably, when the possibility became a certainty and was placed in front of her... just thinking about that scene made her wish she could turn into smoke and vanish into thin air.

Singing to him face-to-face alone...that's so weird!

She really wanted to leave, and she was terrified and acting suspiciously on her way home. Oh no, she'd been branded a dog thief.

I carefully entered the building, not wanting to wake the motion-activated lights, and instead used my phone's flashlight to guide me up the stairs.

I was praying in my heart.

It's this late... that bastard should be asleep by now, right? I should just get up early tomorrow and run away as soon as possible. If I keep doing this for a few days... this matter will probably really be off the hook.

Does Gun Dao feel ashamed? So what! He's lied to himself before; if he's lying, he's lying!

She reached the third floor without any trouble and breathed a sigh of relief. Once inside, she didn't plan to open the door no matter who knocked.

With a sense of relief at surviving a disaster, she prepared to take out her keys to open the door.

In that very instant.

"Jiang Yiyao is quite good at dodging."

The demonic voice echoed in the upper hallway, followed by the motion-activated lights.

The light illuminated the boy sitting on the steps above, a cold smile on his face.

Jiang Yiyao's eyes widened, and she was so frightened that she almost dropped her keys.

Seeing Xu Yan about to get up and walk towards them, Jiang Yiyao's mind raced for a moment, and she made a decision instantly.

Open the door!

Kill him, hurry up!

Just get to that place!!

"Click".

The lock was turned, and the door opened slightly.

Before she could even crawl inside, a gust of wind blew towards her.

"Smack."

Xu Yan grabbed her wrist and pulled her entire body close to his eyes, easier than lifting a chick.

"What...what are you going to do!"

Jiang Yiyao's pretty face turned deathly pale, and she trembled as she spoke, unable to speak coherently.

Xu Yan, who was holding her arm and standing in front of her, his tall figure casting a shadow over her, had a cold expression.

"Let's go in together and have a good talk."

"I...I have nothing to talk to you about. Let go of me right now, or I'll call for help...!" The girl tried to scare Xu Yan away with her bluster.

Xu Yan chuckled, took out his phone from his pocket, and tapped something, the sound echoing in the empty stairwell.

"How about this, if you successfully move up a class, then..."

"Then sing me a song by yourself."

"Want to sing?"

"Yeah... I remember you used to sing pretty well, I suddenly want to hear you sing again."

"Okay, then that's settled."

"..."

Jiang Yiyao's pale face instantly flushed red. She glared at Xu Yan, "You recorded me?!"

"yes."

"You...you don't trust me at all? You even record what you say!"

Xu Yan laughed out loud, "Nonsense, if I hadn't recorded it, you would have escaped. Didn't you just want to run away? Don't worry, you ran away tonight, and I'll bring the recording to your class and play it for the whole class tomorrow."

"you!!"

Jiang Yiyao seemed to have lost all her strength and abilities in an instant.

He could only watch as Xu Yan's arrogant smile drew ever closer, and he spoke to him.

"Ms. Jiang, you wouldn't want this recording to be heard by your new classmates, would you?"

"..."

"Let's go, we don't have much time left~"

We're out of options, we're really out of options.

She let her arms hang limply, opened the door, and walked in with heavy steps.

"Hehehe..."

The boy, with a lewd grin, closed the door.

Jiang Yiyao felt like crying; she suddenly seemed to understand what it felt like for a young girl to make a mistake.
