How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

"Did Yao Yao come back alone this time?"

There was almost twice as much food on the table as usual; Xu Yan could only experience this kind of scale during holidays.

Some experiences are things you never get even during holidays, like the girl next to me right now.

Jiang Yiyao, who hadn't changed her clothes but simply tied her loose long hair into a high ponytail, sat down next to Xu Yan.

On the other end of the line was his mother, Wang Hui, speaking.

Compared to her previous harsh attitude towards herself, Jiang Yiyao was like a completely different person now, with a sweet smile and kind eyes.

A bad woman can switch forms at any time.

"Yes, it's more convenient for my parents to work over there."

"Will transferring schools in your senior year of high school affect your studies?"

Xu Jia'an asked the same question that Xu Yan had asked before.

Jiang Yiyao thought for a moment and replied with a smile, "No, I just felt that the environment there wasn't really suitable for me to study properly."

"Isn't No. 1 High School a top-tier school? Isn't it uncomfortable studying there?"

"Hmm... it's not good, that's why I'm thinking of transferring schools."

Xu Yan noticed that a complex emotion flashed across Jiang Yiyao's face when she said those words, but it was only fleeting.

"I see..."

"The affiliated high school is also a very good school, it won't have any impact."

She adjusted quickly, showing no signs of any unnecessary emotion.

"That's good. It's perfect that you're going to the same school as Xu Yan. You'll have company on your way to school, haha."

Xu Jia'an said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu Yan asked curiously, "Which class did you transfer to?"

"Experimental Class 3"

Xu Yan was taken aback. "The experimental class?"

Seeing Xu Yan's gaze, Jiang Yiyao couldn't help but reveal her true nature with a sneer, "What, you're in a regular class?"

"...Is the parallel class getting in your way?"

The boy stubbornly refused to admit it.

Xu Yan actually had very good grades when he entered school, thanks to the solid foundation he had built in junior high school.

However, it's unclear whether it was due to not adapting to the surrounding environment or the influence of certain personality traits during puberty, but he gradually fell behind. Everyone around him was making progress, while he was the only one who could barely maintain an average level, so he could only struggle in the regular class.

Jiang Yiyao chuckled and lowered her voice, "You didn't bother me, so to be honest, I should apologize."

"Had a change of heart? But it's okay, don't be too self-conscious. A good experimental class is no worse than a regular class."

"I was able to get into the honors class after transferring schools, while you've been stuck in a regular class for two years. That's true, but it might have hurt your pride, so you should apologize."

"..."

Is this what you call academic humiliation? While saying the word "little," he also made a gesture that insulted Han Nan.

"Never underestimate a young man's potential, Nalan Yiyao."

Xu Yan gripped the chopsticks tightly.

Jiang Yiyao lowered her head to eat, but her voice could still be heard clearly.

"Don't talk about fortunes changing every thirty years, I'm afraid you'll sink into the river."

"That's ridiculous. I'm a good swimmer; Liang Jiang can't drown me."

"It's okay, I'll show up in time. I'll take the blame."

Xu Yan: ?

He's flying on a sword!

Xu Yan couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to this cunning and vicious girl.

I listened to Jiang Yiyao's hypocritical conversation with her parents, watching how she hypocritically played the role of a well-behaved girl who excelled in both character and academics.

After they had finished chatting, Xu Yan, having finished his meal, leaned back in his chair and started scrolling through his phone.

Suddenly, the Queen Mother across from them delivered an important speech, "Has Yao Yao eaten her fill?"

The girl next to him politely put down her chopsticks, leaving her rice bowl clean. Xu Yan remembered that Jiang Yiyao had eaten two bowls, right?

If he could eat any more, he'd be a glutton.

"Yes, I'm done eating."

"Alright, Xu Yan, what are you standing there for? Take them home, it's not safe to do it so late at night."

Xu Yan looked up, annoyed. "She lives downstairs, how can she not be safe? Is there some weird rule in our building that absolutely no one can go downstairs alone?"

"Hey, you unlucky kid..." Wang Hui was about to speak.

Jiang Yiyao smiled and stood up. "No need, I'll go back by myself later. I'll wash the dishes for Aunt Wang first."

"Oh? No need, no need. Why are you washing dishes? Come and have a meal, no need to be so polite."

"It's alright, Aunt Wang. It's been so long since we last met, and to be able to enjoy such a delicious meal, I, as the younger generation, can't be so inconsiderate. You all sit down, I'll do it. Give me a chance to show off!"

As he spoke, he began to tidy up. While his parents' faces gradually lit up with smiles, Xu Yan's expression turned sour.

Looking up at Jiang Yiyao, his eyes made his meaning clear: Who told you to wash the dishes? Are you trying to show off? You think you're so sensible?

As expected, Xu Yan was greeted with two extremely unusual coughs from Xu Jia'an, followed by a probing question posed to him, "Xu Yan, it's not that your father is being nosy, but in this family..."

Xu Yan pushed back his chair and stood up abruptly. "Stop talking, I'll help you. You go watch your suggestive videos."

"Cough cough cough, you're spreading rumors about your father, aren't you! I only go online to check international affairs!"

Wang Hui rolled her eyes at Xu Jia'an, watching the two young people scrambling to clear the table of dishes, finding it an exceptionally pleasing and enjoyable sight. This was the retirement life she had always dreamed of.

She suddenly remembered something and tugged at Xu Jia'an beside her.

"Hey, Lao Xu."

Xu Jia'an immediately puffed out his chest, raised his head, and looked at his wife with a sincere expression. "Wife, after all these years, don't you still believe me? Am I the kind of person who likes lowbrow tastes?"

Wang Hui said irritably, "Who asked you that? Come on, let's go for a walk to digest our food, I'm a little bloated."

Xu Jia'an looked at his wife strangely, then glanced at the two young men darting in and out of the kitchen and living room, and hesitated, "Should we leave them at home? Wouldn't that...?"

Wang Hui glanced at him and said, "Then give me your phone now, and I'll see what videos you've been watching these past few days."

Xu Jia'an stuffed his phone into his pocket and stood up with lightning speed.

"Let's go!"

"Clang!"

Xu Yan, who had placed the plates in the sink, poked her head out and asked, "Why did they go out?"

"You've gone for a walk."

Jiang Yiyao said as she turned on the tap.

"oh."

Xu Yan glanced at Jiang Yiyao, who was washing her hands and seemed to be really planning to start washing the dishes.

He thought for a moment and said, "Alright, everyone's gone, so stop pretending. Go back now, I'll take care of the washing."

Before reaching out, Jiang Yiyao first tucked a strand of hair that had fallen from her temple behind her ear, an ordinary action that stirred up a fragrance.

It was just a minor ripple.

"Who said I was putting on an act? It's you who should go outside and rest if you don't want to help. Don't bother me."

"How could washing dishes affect you? It's not like I'm getting paid."

When I was a kid, I could get two yuan for washing a dish.

Then Xu Yan stood next to Jiang Yiyao and squeezed in, saying, "Make room for me."

Jiang Yiyao stopped in her tracks. "No, I won't give way. You don't need to pretend."

He was happy to let himself wash, but the person who said that was Jiang Yiyao, and Xu Yan's rebellious mentality came up.

So she forced her way in, saying, "You want to eat and wash the dishes at the same time? You want to have it all? I'll do it."

Jiang Yiyao was completely bewildered. "Are you kidding me? Stop pushing me!"

"I'll squeeze you!"

A boy's strength is certainly not something a girl can contend with. Jiang Yiyao was immediately pushed to the side and staggered a couple of steps.

The girl couldn't stand it anymore and rushed over. With a burst of strength, she slammed her buttocks into Xu Yan's side. Xu Yan, who had anticipated this, immediately lost his balance.

Jiang Yiyao lost her balance instantly because she didn't hit Xu Yan. A normal guy would probably have softened and helped her up at this point, but Xu Yan, who was already prepared, dodged the impact and then briefly charged back into the air!

"Bang!"

"what!"

Jiang Yiyao almost collapsed against the wall.

Feeling momentarily disoriented, Jiang Yiyao turned around and glared at Xu Yan. "Xu Yan! Are you even human?!"

Most guys would probably soften when faced with complaints from a beautiful girl like Jiang Yiyao.

But Xu Yan could only say, "Hahahaha!"

What are you laughing at?!

The girl, who seemed to feel increasingly wronged, pouted, lowered her head, and squatted down on the ground.

"Waaah..."

Xu Yan: ?

So you're crying already? High offense, low defense, only offense, no defense?

"You really cried?"

Xu Yan leaned closer and asked softly.

The other person didn't answer, but just kept sobbing with their head down, and the situation immediately entered the age-old problem: how to comfort a crying girl.

Xu Yan, feeling instantly overwhelmed, helplessly moved closer, bent down, and softly apologized.

"I didn't mean to, I just wanted to help you wash the dishes..."

Before she could finish speaking, the girl squatting on the ground suddenly reached out her hand, her movements as fast as lightning, like a blur.

This move is...

"The monkey steals the peaches!"

"grass!"

"Hahahaha!"

The laughter echoing in the kitchen had transformed from that of a boy into that of a girl.
