How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Chapter 37 I'll Splash You with Blood!

"I...you...You're not going to say anything?! Are you just going to let him slander and defame our relationship like this?!"

Zhang Ziyu was so red he was about to explode. He immediately stood up and stared at Shen Yourong.

He knew that only Shen Yourong could help him turn things around now. Although he didn't know why Chang Yu wanted to break up with him, the first thing that came to his mind after realizing this was that he could openly pursue Shen Yourong.

That's why he couldn't wait to find Shen Yourong and get back to her.

He had seen Shen Yourong without her glasses by chance, so he knew clearly that compared to Shen Yourong, Chang Yu was nothing.

Besides, Shen Yourong is just a little withdrawn. As long as he persists in opening her heart, they'll eventually get together. He's really done his research; Shen Yourong's zodiac sign is just a bit slow to warm up, and she just doesn't like replying to messages!

Xu Yan remained silent, leisurely eating his meal. This time, he didn't intend to answer for Shen Yourong.

Having said all that, Xu Yan felt that he had already done more than enough if Shen Yourong still didn't have her own opinions and didn't dare to express her true thoughts directly.

That is to completely respect the fate and destiny of others.

"Zhang Ziyu..."

It was still very faint, but this time I could hear it clearly.

Zhang Ziyu felt a glimmer of hope, for he finally saw Shen Yourong struggling to lift her head and look at him, her eyes behind her glasses deep and unfathomable.

She'll soften her heart...

A girl like her wouldn't stand to see her former friend in a difficult situation because of some random guy!

She would say...

I hate you.

"...What?"

Zhang Ziyu seemed to have misheard, a ridiculous smile still on his face.

This time, Shen Yourong lowered her head before finishing her sentence, stubbornly meeting Zhang Ziyu's questioning gaze.

"I hated you...ever before...and now!"

"This...this isn't right, is it? You must have misspoke. What did I do to annoy you? It was clearly just me..."

Shen Yourong did not answer Zhang Ziyu's question this time. She seemed to have used up all her courage. She timidly reached out and tugged at Xu Yan's sleeve beside her.

"Um?"

What's going on? Why did you start touching me like that while we were talking? I was just trying to help you out, and you're taking advantage of me?!

Her eyes seemed to be red, as if she was about to cry from grievance.

"Please...take me away from here, okay?"

The girl, who did not receive an immediate answer, seemed even more nervous and embarrassed. She gripped Xu Yan's sleeve even tighter, until her knuckles turned white and lost all color.

Until Xu Yan burst out laughing.

"Why should we leave? There are others who should leave."

He looked up at Zhang Ziyu, who was still in a daze and looked incredulous.

"Alright, stop playing the heartbroken, despondent character. You should just put on a red nose and play the clown instead."

"you...!"

"We're about to eat. You can stay here and let me humiliate you if you want, but I've never seen this kind of fetish before, and I'm not opposed to being a verbally abusive S for once."

"..."

Zhang Ziyu had no choice but to leave, displaying numerous subtle expressions and actions conveying reluctance and regret for his defeat, but unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.

Xu Yan couldn't understand why some people liked to do such things—drinking heavily after a breakup, running into the rain to get soaked, or even modifying their knives. Did they really think that by performing their sadness for the whole world, someone would feel sorry for them and change their mind?

They'll just find you terrifying and extreme, and hate you even more.

Instead of indulging in self-pity, try playing the role of a sleeping husband or a passenger on the subway; perhaps that will give you a sense of participation.

"Alright, they're gone, you can let go of their hands now."

"Ah... I'm sorry!"

Shen Yourong hurriedly let go of her hand, lowered her head and pretended to shovel rice into her mouth, her face as red as the morning glow.

Xu Yan was genuinely skeptical. It was a senior year of high school; could any girl still be this shy and nervous? It was just a touch of sleeve... Was it because he was just too charming?

Why isn't Jiang Yiyao shy at all? She even wants to kill me!

"It's alright, let's eat."

Xu Yan started showing off with his head down!

You end up insulting yourself when you're actually cursing someone. While it can feel good to call someone an idiot, it's exhausting to always try to avoid repeating yourself.

Seeing Xu Yan start eating with his head down, Shen Yourong was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Are you angry...?"

"Angry? Why?"

"Because...last time you told me to be brave, but this time I still..."

Intermittent, seemingly difficult to speak of.

Xu Yan smiled. "I think you did quite well this time. At least you said you disliked the other person yourself, right? That proves you're capable of doing it. These things, once you do it, you'll do it again."

"Really?" Shen Yourong looked up nervously, her eyes behind her glasses seeming to shine.

"Really." Xu Yan said with a gentle smile.

"That's good..."

"But that doesn't mean I'm not angry."

"what?"

"How can I not be angry? I was really looking forward to eating, but how could someone talk so disgustingly and greasyly? They sound even greasier than my dad at his age. I can hardly eat anymore."

"Then...then I apologize to you, I'm sorry."

Seeing her lower her head in a humble and earnest apology, even though it's wrong to bully a fool, she's really perfect for teasing.

Besides, what kind of good person am I? Hmm? I was born...? Then it's alright.

"Shouldn't you at least show your legs when you apologize?"

Xu Yan casually joked.

Instantly, the girl's cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head in a panic.

Just as Xu Yan was about to say that he was just joking and that he couldn't help but be sarcastic,

But then they saw Shen Yourong slowly reach down and then gradually pull up her trouser leg, revealing her long, fair legs inside.

The calves are shapely, slender, and glossy, so smooth that it feels like you could slide down a slide with your tongue on them.

My thigh... um? Why can't I pull it up?

"Is it...okay?"

Her face was blood red, like cinnabar mixed with milk, and the girl's voice trembled. Her eyes were misty, as if tears were about to spill from her glasses.

Xu Yan coughed twice. "I was actually joking..."

Is this the amazing contrast of an autistic bespectacled girl? I acknowledge her initiative, but isn't she a little too dull?

"Huh? Ahhh?"

Shen Yourong looked like she was about to cry, as if she hadn't expected the other person to be joking at all.

Xu Yan couldn't help but laugh, "But it's okay, your legs are very beautiful."

"Waaah...don't say it."

Looking at the girl who was almost burying her face in her legs, Xu Yan couldn't help but sigh.

It's so rare to find such innocent girls these days.

In a corner where he couldn't see, Shen Yourong was secretly taking out her phone and deleting Zhang Ziyu and Chang Yu from her friends list.

There are no evening self-study sessions, so school ends relatively early in the afternoon.

Two beautiful girls with different styles, each with their own unique charm, were standing not far from the school gate, waiting for something.

With her hair in pigtails, Xiao Lili, looking a little shy, huddled close to Jiang Yiyao beside her. "Yaoyao...you go home with him, why are you making me wait here?"

The crowds were immense, and the line of students leaving school was a sea of people.

However, Jiang Yiyao frowned, just like an investigator who would not let any criminal go unpunished.

"Of course, I can't keep an eye on him by myself. What if he runs away?"

"Surely it's not that bad... We agreed to go home for dinner together, how could he possibly run away?"

Jiang Yiyao sneered, looking at the naive girl with pigtails, "What was your first impression of Xu Yan?"

Xiao Lili thought for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "It was just one guy..."

"to be honest!"

"A handsome guy."

She answered honestly.

Jiang Yiyao scoffed, "Superficial. He may look respectable, but he's actually cunning, treacherous, and shameless. If he feels guilty, he'll definitely be thinking about how to escape rather than making amends."

How can you be so sure?

"Because that's exactly what I did."

Xiao Lili: ...

What should I say? "Birds of a feather flock together"?

"You guys are really interesting..." she replied dryly.

"Alright, enough talk, he's out, let's go!"

"oh oh!"

Xiao Lili followed Jiang Yiyao's footsteps, and saw a handsome young man riding a bicycle stand out from the crowd.

"Xu Yan, you squat down and cross your arms!"

Xiao Lili: ? ? ?

Jiang Yiyao shouted directly.

Xu Yan, riding his bicycle, suddenly looked at the two women.
