How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Xu Yan didn't care at all about such harsh words like "Don't leave after school." She would give him the middle finger without turning around, and anyone who dared to chase after her would be considered a woman.

However, this did not happen, and Xu Yan led the silent Shen Yourong smoothly into the school.

Xu Yan didn't say anything special during the conversation, nor did he ask about the process; he had already heard enough.

As they climbed the stairs, Shen Yourong couldn't help but look up and whisper, "Thank you for today..."

Xu Yan shook his head indifferently, "It's nothing, just a small matter. It just so happens that I'm a positive person and can't stand idly by."

Shen Yourong thought he would say more, just like those boys who would try to open her heart and get closer to her.

But Xu Yan didn't say anything.

The girl wearing thick black-rimmed glasses tightened the shoulder straps of her backpack, making her chest appear exceptionally full and round due to the force of her arms, to the point that even her school uniform jacket could not conceal it.

Another silent flight of stairs. "Um... why did you give your name?"

Xu Yan smiled. "Anyway, it's not my name."

"Isn't that a bit unfair to Qin Yifan...?"

"It's alright, he's a righteous person too, I'm only happy to say that to him."

Qin Yifan likes to help others, which was the most useful information Xu Yan learned yesterday; his arrogance ranked second.

"?" Shen Yourong didn't quite understand the reasoning, but seeing Xu Yan's relaxed appearance, she could only nod slightly, "Thank you anyway..."

"They said everything's fine now. Were you always treated like this in your old class?"

"...It started when she thought I was seducing her boyfriend."

"Oh, so it's not true love. She thought you seduced her boyfriend, but in the end, she threatened you to do her homework and copy her test papers as revenge? That's pretty realistic."

Xu Yan commented that she really has the potential to be a revenge heroine who discovers her husband's affair, pretends not to know, secretly bides her time, endures humiliation and hardship, and finally takes down her husband and mistress in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, the road became too narrow.

Shen Yourong hurriedly explained, "I really didn't seduce her boyfriend. I didn't even know Zhang Ziyu was her boyfriend... We only chatted for a few minutes. Maybe it was because her boyfriend defended me when she questioned me that made her even more upset..."

Xu Yan: ? I don't think I fell for that green tea bitch's trick, did I?

He glanced again at Shen Yourong's aggrieved and vulnerable expression: "So you're just going to put up with this?"

"...I don't know what to do. She said if I don't do what she says, she'll tell everyone what kind of 'white lotus' or 'green tea bitch' I am, pretending to be weak on the surface but secretly seducing other people's boyfriends..."

"That's just a rumor."

"But people with better interpersonal relationships tend to believe what they say... Not many people will speak up for me, and I don't want to be portrayed as that kind of person."

Xu Yan glanced at Shen Yourong. Her dark hair obscured most of her expression, but she seemed to be feeling wronged and at a loss.

The boy sighed softly and said, "But if you keep swallowing your anger like this, they'll think they really have something on you, and in the end they might still be unable to resist spreading these rumors. When that happens, if you try to explain, someone will question you: why would someone who isn't like that obey her orders?"

"I..." Shen Yourong seemed unable to answer this question, but Xu Yan did not intend to continue to persuade her, as he himself had a lot of personality problems.

So in the end, all I said was, "If they try to threaten you like this again, it's best to tell the teacher directly, since there's no guarantee someone will show up in time next time."

Shen Yourong nodded. "I understand. Thank you this time..."

"fine."

The boy took the last step up the stairs, bathed in the sunlight of the corridor. His tall, slender figure suddenly stopped, almost catching Shen Yourong off guard.

He turned around with a smile in the golden sunlight.

The sunshine, the handsome and youthful face, and the bright and piercing eyes were like a strong gust of wind impacting the girl's fragile vision.

He smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, how about letting me copy your answers on the next exam?"

"..."

Seeing the girl's stunned expression, Xu Yan laughed, "Just kidding."

After saying that, he strode towards the classroom.

Shen Yourong stood there, then slowly lowered her head, sighed softly, and took out her phone to select a contact and send a message...

"I haven't even contacted you yet, and you dare to contact me directly?"

The midday sun bathed the campus, and the corner behind the teaching building was a place where couples often appeared during evening self-study breaks.

Chang Yu was familiar with this place; there were no surveillance cameras here.

She wanted to see what this bitch was up to by daring to ask her to come over.

"Um."

The girl in front of me, wearing black-rimmed glasses, was bowing her head slightly, just like her usual timid and introverted self.

"So what are you going to do? Repent or apologize? Don't waste my time. If you don't satisfy me, you and that Qin Yifan will be in for a world of hurt."

Seemingly still not satisfied, Chang Yu continued her threat menacingly, "Otherwise... I'll tell the whole class and the whole grade what kind of person you are. Don't think you'll be safe just because you're in the honors class!"

"Don't rush, listen to this first."

Shen Yourong calmly lowered her head, opened her phone, and a clear voice flowed out.

[What did I tell you before? I was right behind you during the exam, and I asked you not to block my view of the test paper so I could see it a little. What did you do?]

"..."

[Bullshit! Stop trying to deny it, I'll beat you to death, you bitch!]

"..."

If Xu Yan were here, he would probably applaud and praise: I knew the recording could be used like this!

Chang Yu stared in disbelief, finally realizing what was happening, her face turning bright red.

She was practically screaming: "You fucking recorded me! You bastard!"

Enraged, she wanted to retaliate, scratch her face, and destroy her phone! But the girl in front of her, who had always been timid and dared not fight back against grievances, raised her head at this moment.

Looking at her with an unprecedentedly cold gaze, a demeanor and expression never before seen on her face, made Chang Yu abruptly stop what she was doing.

All I heard her say was, "Actually, I was waiting for you to slap me this morning. That way, I could go to the headmaster with the injury and the recording. Bullying classmates and threatening to cheat should be enough for you to get punished, maybe even expelled from the school, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Yu's anger began to subside and gradually turned into lingering fear.

A person's rationality and intelligence can make them excellent, but they can also become timid and even cowardly when weighing the pros and cons.

Her eyes trembled as she looked at Shen Yourong, "You...you really are a hypocrite! How could you be so vicious!"

Shen Yourong, however, revealed a relaxed smile, like a snow lotus in bloom. In Chang Yu's eyes, this smile was even full of evil and malice.

"Vicious? Just a little bit more vicious than you."

Chang Yu's eyes flickered as her mind raced.

She feigned composure, gave a cold snort, and said, "Alright, let's just pretend I was joking about what happened before, and call it even. Since we're not in the same class anymore, let's not have anything to do with each other anymore. Let's pretend we don't know each other!"

"Isn't that too easy on you, Chang Yu?"

Chang Yu:?

She glared at Shen Yourong, enraged and embarrassed, trying to intimidate her again with her expression, "Then what do you want to do!"

"Bang!"

"ah!!"

Shen Yourong stepped forward and punched Chang Yu hard in the abdomen. Almost instantly, Chang Yu lost the strength to speak and collapsed to the ground.

The force was so great that Chang Yu was unable to struggle to her feet and fight back. She couldn't even speak for a moment, and the pain and anger brought tears to her eyes.

But when she looked up, all she saw was Shen Yourong's cold face. She took off her glasses, revealing her beautiful face, her eyes charming and affectionate, a quality that seemed completely out of place for someone her age.

"You know there are no security cameras here, and I'll keep this recording until I graduate."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Your boyfriend seems to have heard about this. He was texting me this morning to comfort me and ask if I was okay."

The abdominal pain and the verbal humiliation almost caused Chang Yu to collapse instantly.

Her eyes were red and swollen: "Shen Yourong...!"

Shen Yourong's smile vanished, replaced by a final warning.

"Don't mess with me, you bitch."
