How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Lin Jia didn't even know how she finished her breakfast.

The noodles that I used to find incredibly delicious now taste bland and even... my stomach and intestines feel a bit twisted and spasmodic.

I think I've heard the saying that mood can affect the function of internal organs.

Lin Jia never imagined that she would be affected by Xu Yan to this extent... There was never anything like this when they were in the same class, so how did things change after they left?

How annoying... He's annoying too, and that girl is annoying too.

Especially that beautiful mirror, like one cast from a gemstone, makes one want to smash it.

But after she finished eating, as she stood up, she suddenly looked up and looked around.

"What's wrong with Jiajia?"

Xiao Yujie looked at her best friend with a strange expression.

"I feel like someone is watching me..."

She looked around but didn't find any obvious eyes watching her. The only thing that caught her attention was a girl quietly drinking porridge in the corner of the breakfast shop.

Her thick black bangs almost completely covered her face; she wore black-rimmed glasses and a school uniform jacket...

Is it her?

I don't seem to know them.

"Oh my, you're so pretty, it's normal for people to notice you. Let's go, we'll miss morning self-study soon."

"Um."

Maybe I'm overthinking it. As for whether she's pretty or not... no one is as pretty as that girl.

Thinking of Jiang Yiyao made her feel pressured, and even the thought of Xu Yan brought her a bittersweet feeling.

After all, when that girl was putting pressure on him, he didn't stop her at all, didn't say a word to her, and didn't even give her a glance.

There is a clear difference between deliberately ignoring something and obviously not caring.

"So you're this aggressive towards other men?" Xu Yan couldn't help but tease with a smile as they walked out of the breakfast shop.

"Tch." Jiang Yiyao, who was holding an umbrella, also dropped the gentle expression she had shown towards Xu Yan, reverting to her arrogant and domineering demeanor. "I've seen plenty of these little green tea bitches. How dare she bring up the past in front of me... Doesn't she know how many years we've known each other?"

Xu Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Then one tea can still subdue the authority of another."

"Wait a minute, haven't you mentioned me to her at all?"

Jiang Yiyao narrowed her eyes and suddenly began to scrutinize the boy.

Xu Yan blinked. "I'd like to bring it up, but how? You weren't back then, and we haven't seen each other for almost two years."

Originally intending to accuse Xu Yan, Jiang Yiyao became hesitant and timid upon hearing Xu Yan's seemingly innocent words.

He turned his face to the side.

"That's your own fault..."

Xu Yan was about to retort when he looked at the girl's delicate profile and slightly disheveled sideburns, and he suddenly smiled.

"Forget it, it's all in the past, it's not that important anymore."

These words sounded somewhat like Lin Jia's previous arguments, but Jiang Yiyao no longer intended to retaliate.

"Um."

The response was so brief and understated, it was as if it had truly become a thing of the past.

Sometimes Xu Yan really wonders if things that seem insurmountable now will seem ridiculous and childish when viewed from a future perspective. But that's normal, since you can't judge your past self by your current mindset; all the emotions you had back then only prove that you were real at the time.

The stories that happened, the emotions that were experienced, are all genuine.

Let your childhood sweetheart outsmart the scheming woman, while you remain uninvolved, having a wise scholar debate your arguments.

[Achievement unlocked: Beautifully invisible.]

[Reward: 10 achievement points and 1000 yuan!]

[Congratulations! Your achievement points are full, and you have successfully upgraded to Tier 2: 0/200.]

[Unlock Tier 2 achievement rewards: Level 1 Critical Hit Cashback Card, and a cash reward of 10000 yuan.]

Xu Yan: ?

Xu Yan: !

[Level 1 Cashback Card: Cash back up to 10000 RMB of your spending within 24 hours, with a random bonus of 1.5 to 5 times. Can be used at any time.]

Although the limit is 10,000 yuan, is it possible to get up to 50,000 yuan in cashback?

This amount of money might not seem like a lot for future expenses like getting married, buying a car, or buying a house, but for a high school senior like myself... it's a huge sum.

It's hard to say whether your parents have that much cash on them, and of course, it's not certain that you'll actually get the highest multiplier of five times.

But that's already a pretty outrageous amount. Anyway, there's a safety net. I already have about 23,000 to 24,000 in savings. If I get lucky and get five times the return, 100,000 will be within reach.

It's only been a few days? The achievement of advancing to the second tier will only become more and more outrageous. Xu Yan suddenly felt that the Maybach that Wen Xueyu drove every day was nothing. Don't underestimate a young man's potential!

Brother Tong, kill them all!

"Why are you suddenly laughing so lewdly?"

Jiang Yiyao was enjoying the atmosphere of the two of them strolling in the rain when she suddenly heard a strange laugh. When she turned around, Xu Yan's lips were practically curled up to the sky.

What's going on? Ascending to immortality on the spot?

Xu Yan struggled to suppress the smirk from his lips as he looked at Jiang Yiyao. "Are you short of money lately?"

Jiang Yiyao looked completely bewildered. "What? Young Master Xu is very rich lately, is he going to keep me as a mistress?"

"Here, name your price and I'll cover it."

"One hundred thousand a month." The girl said irritably. She was too lazy to even blush at such a ridiculous statement. Of course, if anyone else dared to ask her that, they would have to think twice about whether their third leg was strong enough.

"three."

"two."

"one."

Then Xu Yan started counting down on the spot, and his serious demeanor made Jiang Yiyao feel a subtle tension.

Then he saw the boy, who had finished counting down, smile at him and say, "I'm a little short on funds lately, how about two hundred a month?"

"Get out of here!"

Oh my god, he almost installed it on me! It scared me half to death!

When Xu Yan arrived at the classroom, he placed the umbrella at the back to let it dry.

Perhaps because of the rain, the air was damp, which was not pleasant to behold, as the various smells mixed together were not pleasant.

After a deep thought of 0.01 seconds, Xu Yan still felt that Jiang Yiyao's room smelled better.

As soon as he sat down, a gust of wind blew in from outside after someone opened the window, and Xu Yan immediately changed his mind.

Ahead was a young girl with a long, snow-white neck, her thick, smooth black hair slightly obscuring her crystal-clear earlobes, and the areas that couldn't be covered were covered by skin that was radiant.

They truly deserve to be called the shining stars of Experimental Class 5.

The cod burger has a very unique flavor, which goes beyond the category of "pleasant to smell". It's hard to find a suitable description. It seems to be a scent that you can't find in any shampoo, shower gel or laundry detergent, with a faint lime scent.

Combined with her long, glossy black hair, it's easy to imagine an elf emerging from a dense forest.

What kind of fancy tricks should I use to tease this girl today? Xu Yan was thinking about this when he suddenly stopped in his tracks as he was about to take out his notebook from the drawer.

It wasn't that there was a mousetrap hidden inside, but rather that there seemed to be something strange...

I took it out and looked at it.

A whole bar of Kinder chocolate.

Ok?

Who put it in there? Xu Yan himself would never put such a thing in there. He was so-so about sweets; he could eat them, but he wouldn't specifically want to buy them.

It's unlikely that a boy would deliberately put chocolate in another boy's drawer... so it's most likely a girl.

It seems normal for girls to secretly give Xu Yan gifts, given his appearance. The problem is that Xu Yan suddenly remembered that there were always some chocolates in his drawer during the period when he was in junior high school and about to take the high school entrance exam.

They're all chocolate...

Are these girls really that free? If they like me, they should just say so openly. Why secretly send me gifts? If they just say it outright, they can refuse me openly.

Why don't you just write your bank card number on the table? A sensible girl will deposit the money herself.

Thinking about trivial things, let's get back to the most crucial question: who sent it?

Having only been in the experimental class for a short time, Xu Yan only had a few new classmates with whom he was familiar and got along well, and considering that she was a girl who liked desserts... Xu Yan looked at Wen Xueyu in front of him.

Doesn't she like Ferrero Rocher? Why did you give her this one?

If it wasn't her, could it be...? Xu Yan suddenly thought of Shen Yourong, the bespectacled girl who had recently become quite close to her and had helped her twice.

Just as Shen Yourong's habitually shy face appeared in his mind, he saw her carrying a schoolbag and coming in through the front door out of the corner of his eye.

As if sensing the strange gaze, she glanced at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan smiled and nodded. She blushed slightly like a startled rabbit, immediately lowered her head, and hurriedly sat down in her seat, just like Hakimi hiding in a plastic bag.

She just arrived... and it doesn't seem to be her.

Who is that?

Finally, his gaze fell on the back of the girl at the very front of the fourth group. She was beautiful and slender, and her long, straight black hair perfectly complemented her temperament.

No, how could it be Ye Shutong?

Xu Yan really couldn't guess who it was. Oh well, let's just consider it a gift from nature.

The tranquil life of your senior year of high school is stirred by ripples; she has been silently watching over you, always... always.

[Achievement unlocked: Secretly observing.]

[Reward: 10 achievement points and 2000 RMB cash.]

Has the second order become two thousand?!

Xu Yan immediately took out his phone and opened the app to see what to buy in the store today, completely ignoring the strange achievement description.

By the way, it's almost October, remember Haji Yao...

An Lulu, the class monitor wearing glasses, calmly walked up to the podium and wrote two names on today's duty roster.

Xu Yan

Shen Yourong
