How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

A date with Jiang Yiyao?

Will my future self and Jiang Yiyao have countless entanglements?

To be honest, if Xu Yan hadn't suddenly seen Jiang Yiyao again today, he felt he would have gradually forgotten about this girl.

Like many passersby who briefly appear in your life and then disappear in a hurry.

Xu Yan never imagined she would come back, and he couldn't even imagine how he would have so many stories with this girl who had changed in every way except for her personality.

This is a somewhat absurd and inexplicable emotion.

The description even hints at a missed date between him and her... Is this a story made up by AI?

Despite the many hesitations and unavoidable awkwardness, since it was a mission, there was no reason not to do it. Besides, physical enhancement... sounded quite tempting.

Ideally, it should be the kind of enhancement that allows you to survive a fall from the 18th floor, making you invincible when playing in the Dark Caverns at night.

Xu Yan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

"Try it again? It's like you're forcing yourself. Yao Yao is so pretty now." Wang Hui, the mother, said irritably.

"You're talking as if your son isn't handsome."

Xu Yan tossed his not-so-long hair.

Wang Hui scoffed, "You call yourself a human being?"

Xu Yan: ?

Xu Yan changed his shoes and went out. Although it had been more than two years since they last met, he knew the location of Jiang Yiyao's house very well; it was right downstairs.

Standing at the door, Xu Yan didn't hesitate for long before knocking. It wasn't like he was trying to flirt or fawn over anyone; he was just doing a task, so there was no shame in it.

Not only do you knock on the door, but you knock loudly and forcefully.

A moment later, footsteps could be heard from inside, along with an impatient voice, "Who is it?"

"Yaozi, open the door, it's your brother Xu."

"nerve."

"Hey, Xu Yan, hurry up!"

"Crunch."

The door was pushed open a crack, revealing a face that, even now, is still stunning.

She's quite tall, so why is her face so small? It feels like if you slapped her, her whole face would be covered in handprints, but unfortunately, that's hard to test.

She frowned at herself. "Are you crazy? Knocking so loudly, I almost called the police, you know?"

Xu Yan shrugged. "I was just worried you might not be able to hear me because you're hard of hearing."

"roll!"

Jiang Yiyao was about to close the door in an annoyed manner, but the quick-thinking boy reached out and pressed his hand against the door to stop her.

Jiang Yiyao was stunned for a moment, her expression turning sour. "Let go, I'm calling for help!"

"Go ahead and yell, this is my turf, you can yell your lungs out... Hey, wait a minute, I was just kidding, don't yell!"

Seeing that Jiang Yiyao was about to open her red lips and cry out, Xu Yan finally gave in a little.

"What exactly do you want?"

Jiang Yiyao asked impatiently.

Xu Yan also dropped his nonchalant expression. "My mom said you moved back..."

"What, do I have to pay you protection money?"

"You moved back just before school starts...did you drop out?"

"Xu Yan, if you can't speak properly, you don't have to." Jiang Yiyao glared at Xu Yan and said irritably, "I'm back to study, the procedures are all done, is there a problem?"

"Back to study? You mean...?"

"Your school."

"Huh? Transferring schools?"

"What, you own the school, and you won't let me study there?"

"You're really being irritating. I didn't mean that at all."

Why is she suddenly coming to my school? There was no warning at all... But then again, it makes sense. Where someone chooses to study, whether they transfer schools or not, has nothing to do with me.

So I rephrased it as, "I'm just wondering, won't transferring schools suddenly during my senior year of high school have any impact?"

Noticing that Xu Yan's tone had returned to normal, Jiang Yiyao became less confrontational.

"What impact could it have? Is there anything else? If not, you can leave."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem inclined to close the door immediately, Xu Yan first let go of the door, then looked at the mottled wall next to her, which was covered with children's graffiti, without looking the other party in the eye.

"My mom asked me to invite you to dinner."

"Aunt Wang... I have no choice but to go. I'll pack up and come over."

Jiang Yiyao answered in this way.

Xu Yan turned around. "From what you're saying, if I called you, you wouldn't have come?"

Jiang Yiyao scoffed, "I'll think about it."

"What are you considering?"

"Consider what kind of knife to bring."

"...So violent."

Have you ever heard of "going to a banquet alone with a single sword"? Do you know the Green Dragon Crescent Blade?

"How disgusting, you're setting my Azusa's rhythm like this."

"You're always coming up with your lousy jokes. I'm going to close up and clean up now. I'll be up in a bit."

"Alright, hurry up and come over, the food is ready."

Xu Yan was too lazy to argue with her anymore, but he couldn't understand it. Would he really have countless entanglements, even regrets, with a girl like this in the future? What a joke! Were there no other women in the world?

However, Xu Yan had a darker thought: what if his lack of success was caused by this woman? That would make much more sense.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Xu Yan was about to turn and leave, Jiang Yiyao called out to him.

"What's wrong?"

Then we saw Jiang Yiyao open the door wider, fully revealing her appearance and figure.

She didn't change her clothes, but instead swapped her sneakers for open-toed slippers. There was no colorful nail polish, only full, round, and distinct toes that radiated a delicate and crystalline luster. The veins on the instep were faintly visible, and there was no dead skin or cracks, only healthy and bony ankles.

She held out her clenched fist. "I feel bad coming to your house for dinner without bringing anything, so I'll give you a small gift."

"You even brought a gift for a meal, being so polite... What gift?"

Will she give herself a gift?

Xu Yan reached out to take it with a skeptical look, and then saw her flip her wrist, open her palm, and reveal a... valve core.

"Isn't this a bicycle valve core? Why are you giving me this... Wait, could this be...?"

Remember to cheer yourself up for school tomorrow!

"Bang!"

Xu Yan clenched his fists and watched the security door close rapidly.

Good grief, no wonder I saw her lurking around her bicycle like that, it was her bicycle's valve core!

How could she be so mean!

"Jiang Yiyao, you fucking get out here!!"

Hmm? But how does she know which bicycle she owns...?

Hearing the loud knocking at the door that then gradually faded away, the girl smiled happily.

She even hummed a little tune with contentment.

However, he still frowned when he saw the pile of cardboard boxes that had just been moved in in the living room.

"Never mind, let's change our clothes first."

Moving the boxes was a bit of a struggle.

"Clang—"

The box tipped over and a letter fell out, a letter that was rarely used in this era.

Her first reaction upon seeing it was to blush slightly, and like a guilty thief, she quickly picked up the letter, even squeezing it so hard that her fingers wrinkled a little.

"Just burn it!"

He said this, but after hesitating for a while, he sighed and carefully smoothed it out before putting it in a beautiful box to preserve it.

After doing all this, he couldn't help but space out for a while before standing up and shaking his head.

"Still so annoying...but still pretty stupid, believing whatever I say, hmph."

She was already looking forward to seeing a little boy tomorrow morning, or even tonight, carrying an air pump downstairs, only to end up looking completely bewildered and scratching his head in confusion.

The flower language associated with valve cores is "playing with".
