How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

In the early morning, the eastern sun was just rising. Xu Jia'an rubbed his still sleepy eyes as he walked out of the bedroom.

As I get older, even though I go to bed early, I still feel like I haven't slept enough when I wake up in the morning, and I feel listless and there's nothing I can do about it.

At night, one might also have to deal with the ravenous passion of married life, and figuring out how to avoid it is a treacherous affair.

Being woken up by the urge to urinate before you're fully awake is also a painful thing. When I was younger, I could hold it in pretty well. When I felt the urge to urinate, I felt like I could sleep in a little longer without any problem. But now, once I feel the urge to urinate, I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't go for a while.

We had only just reached the bathroom door.

"Whoosh!"

A dark shadow suddenly darted out from beside me, creating a gust of wind.

Old Xu was completely dumbfounded. What the hell? Does he have such a big rat in his house?

"Dad, I'm in a hurry, I'm going to be late for school!"

"Bang!"

When the bathroom door opened and closed again, Old Xu, who was swaying precariously from the wind, finally realized what was happening and started banging on the door while shouting angrily.

"It's not even seven o'clock yet, what are you doing being late! Get out here right now! Your old man can't hold it in any longer!"

"If your kidneys are strong, then hold it in a little longer!"

"Hurry up!"

After all, he was the son he had raised and raised, so there was really nothing he could do.

But after waiting for a while, Lao Xu suddenly realized what was going on.

"You went to university?"

"Yes, my stomach hurts."

"Screw you! Just cut it off already, I really can't hold back anymore!"

Old Xu, whose legs were starting to tremble, banged on the door.

The boy inside shouted, "It's so runny, you can't even break it! If you're really in a hurry, go find a water bottle!"

"Holy shit!!"

In the end, Old Xu relied on his strong willpower to hold on until Xu Yan solved the problem and he was released. When he was finally free, he was filled with gratitude for the beauty of life.

When he returned to the living room, Old Xu realized that something was wrong.

"Why are you up so early to go to class today?"

Xu Yan had already changed her clothes and put on her schoolbag, and had also taken care of washing up in the kitchen.

"Yeah, after all, we're moving up a grade, so we need to get used to the pace of the experimental class in advance."

"That's not wrong... Wait a minute? Promotion? When did that happen!"

Xu Yan then realized that he was so excited about confronting Jiang Yiyao the moment he was promoted that he hadn't even told his parents.

"Ah...it happened yesterday. It was the placement test, right? I did pretty well, and they gave me a spot to move up a grade...Don't go to the wrong place for parent-teacher conferences next time."

"You're pretty good, kid! What score did you get?"

This was something Old Xu hadn't expected; Xu Yan would have such a breakthrough in his senior year of high school. He and his wife had worried about Xu Yan's studies before, but eventually they just relied on his self-discipline, thinking there was no need to put so much pressure on a seventeen or eighteen-year-old.

I didn't expect him to take it so seriously when there wasn't much expectation. How can this not be considered a pleasant surprise?

"619, I think that's the score, first in the class."

"Taking away the young master?!"

Old Xu knew Xu Yan's previous score level; he had never scored above 600, which would only be considered average in a place like the affiliated high school.

But by June 619th, none of my colleagues' children who were in high school had heard of it!

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Why would I lie to you about my own grades? If I lie to you now, can I lie about the college entrance exam?

"You child, you're lecturing me now."

Although he was indeed somewhat excited, on the surface, Xu Jia'an still had to adopt the demeanor and authority of a father and give Xu Yan earnest advice.

"Although I did well on this exam, I can't be arrogant. The college entrance exam is a long battle... One exam doesn't mean anything. This small victory is not a victory, nor is it worth showing off..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Jia'an's phone rang.

Xu Yan watched as Xu Jia'an, who was halfway through his act, answered the phone with a mature and composed demeanor, "Hey, Lao Chen, what's up?"

"Huh? You're asking me to go drinking tonight so early in the morning? Sure, it's the perfect time to celebrate with a good drink tonight."

"What are we celebrating? My son scored 619 on the entrance exam at Liangcheng Normal University Affiliated High School and got into the experimental class. Shouldn't we celebrate? Hahaha, thanks, see you tonight!"

Who asked you?

Xu Yan sighed, picked up his schoolbag and walked towards the door. If he didn't leave now, it would be too late. He was too lazy to care what Xu Jia'an was talking about.

After hearing Old Chen's forced smile and blessings on the phone, Xu Jia'an couldn't stop smiling.

I need to tell my wife as soon as she wakes up.

Just as he was thinking this, there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door. He thought it was Xu Yan who had forgotten something and rushed back.

He walked over and knocked on the door, muttering, "I told you not to get cocky just because you got 619 on the test. You didn't even bring your things... Hmm? Yao Yao?"

Upon opening the door, they found Jiang Yiyao looking unwell, panting, and in a great hurry.

"Uncle Xu, is Xu Yan here? Could you please ask him to come out for a moment? I need to talk to him."

"So early..." Xu Jia'an shook his head and said, "He just left not long ago. What do you want to see him about?"

"Damn it...run faster."

"Huh? What?"

"Oh...it's alright, Uncle. Since you've already left, let's just forget about it."

Jiang Yiyao gave up her idea of ​​chasing down Xu Yan and forcing him to delete her singing recording, since if he was on guard, he definitely wouldn't wait for her.

We'll just have to wait for another opportunity.

"By the way, Yao Yao, do you know about Xu Yan being promoted to a higher grade this time?"

Xu Jia'an couldn't help but ask.

"..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiyao gritted her teeth, "I know... I know it all too well!"

"Hahaha, that's great! How about this, you guys don't have evening self-study tomorrow, so let's all come over to my house for dinner to celebrate. Do you have time?"

Jiang Yiyao originally wanted to refuse directly, as she was in a state of anger and found it difficult to accept sitting at the same table with Xu Yan for a meal.

But as she was about to say it, she suddenly remembered something, and a sweet and obedient smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Okay~ Then you must call me, Uncle."

"Okay, okay."

"I'm off to school now, goodbye Uncle Xu~"

"goodbye."

The girl closed the door and slowly walked down the stairs, each step feeling as heavy as if she were stepping on a corpse.

"Just wait to die, Xu Yan!"

"The sun shines brightly overhead, and the flowers smile at me~"

Xu Yan leisurely hummed a song all the way to the school gate, where he bought two meat buns, three shumai, and a bottle of soy milk from a breakfast stall.

The reason he didn't sit down and eat a bowl of hot green pepper and pork noodles was that he was genuinely worried about being arrested by Jiang Yiyao at the breakfast shop.

It sounds like a naive worry, but Xu Yan has no doubt that Jiang Yiyao is capable of doing such a thing.

Don't underestimate the bond between us, you bastard!

There weren't many people early in the morning, and the school gate wasn't crowded. The security guards checking if students were wearing school uniforms were already on duty early.

As Xu Yan was walking towards the door, a slightly familiar figure caught his eye. Turning his head to look, he realized that Shen Yourong, wearing black-rimmed glasses, was walking over from the other side, her head slightly lowered, seemingly looking at the road or her toes.

As students who were promoted from the same batch of Experimental Class 5, the two didn't actually interact that much; it seems they only had that one interaction at the beginning.

After that, Shen Yourong didn't take the initiative to contact him, so Xu Yan had no obligation to open her heart.

However, the boy did notice that she was indeed quite introverted. Even an extroverted girl like Ma Jiamin couldn't persist in talking to her for long, let alone others.

She seemed to simply read, write, and listen to lectures quietly in the classroom before leaving after school.

Xu Yan didn't have much to say about these people; they were just classmates he'd recently met. They had their own lives, ways of doing things, and basic values. Trying to integrate into a group with the intention of advising others... it was just too paternalistic and showed an excessive sense of self-importance, without considering whether the other person needed it at all.

However, Xu Yan still planned to take the initiative to greet the other party; there was no need to pretend he hadn't seen them.

"Shen Yourong!"

However, this greeting did not come from his own mouth.

As Xu Yan stopped, Shen Yourong seemed startled by the sound and trembled all over.

Even Xu Yan, who was not far away, did not notice and hurriedly looked back.

Then she saw three girls in school uniforms with backpacks smiling at her from behind. "Why are you walking so fast? Can't you even hear us?"

Shen Yourong immediately lowered her head nervously, her voice trembling, "I...I didn't notice, I'm sorry."

"Hehe, you seem pretty shameless. Perfect timing, I need to talk to you about something."

Three girls walked towards Shen Yourong, their faces smiling, but the tone of their voices made Shen Yourong's eyes tremble even more.

"...Shouldn't we just say it here?"

With a tentative question in mind, I tried to muster the courage to look into the other person's eyes, but the moment our eyes met, I recoiled as if pricked by a needle.

The short-haired girl at the head of the group simply asked, "We're all old classmates, should we invite you over?"

"..."
