How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

"What are you thinking?"

Xu Yan took the initiative to release his hand, ending the ambiguous contact.

Ye Shutong simply took a step back quietly. "They should be waiting for you. I'm going to take a shower."

Xu Yan: ?

"Damn it! My phone!"

Remembering his phone still in his pocket, Xu Yan quickly went ashore and took it out to check...

Ok?

It still works!

He shook off the water droplets on the spot, and it seemed that there were no problems for the time being. He could even see Qin Yifan's messages urging him on.

The setting sun was gradually darkening on the horizon when Xu Yan saw Ye Shutong, who had already come ashore, take a towel that had been placed on a deck chair on the shore, and say while drying her hair, "Is your phone broken?"

"Will you pay for it if it breaks?"

Xu Yan responded irritably.

The girl, straddling her long legs and displaying her perfect figure, remained expressionless, as if she hadn't been particularly affected when the girl had jumped into his arms.

It was almost like a pre-planned process, no wonder she was so confident when she reached out. But the question remains: what exactly is she trying to do out of the blue? She's almost turned her life into a dark comedy.

Is it because of boredom? Or is it due to mental instability?

The most important reason is that Ye Shutong is not like she used to be; it's difficult to fathom her inner thoughts and ideas now.

"You can tell me if you want it."

Xu Yan sighed. "Never mind, it's not broken, and that's not important right now. The main thing is I'm completely soaked. How am I going to explain to people later that I fell into the river?"

"There are no clean clothes here," Ye Shutong said after thinking for a moment.

"Nonsense, I can't change it even if you're here, unless you come with me after you take a shower."

There's no good way, let's just explode them all at once!

"I'm not going."

She resolutely refused.

Xu Yan stared at her, wide-eyed. "Then what should I do?"

"You can tell them that something has suddenly come up and you can't make it, and then stay here."

"Stay here?" Xu Yan looked at the girl with suspicion, who spoke without any hesitation, as if she had prepared her answer in advance. "What are you going to do here?"

"Wait until the clothes are dry, or wait for me to order new clothes for you."

"Clang!"

Ye Shutong opened the door leading from the balcony to the inside, walked barefoot to the edge, and then put on slippers.

Just as Xu Yan was about to say something, his phone vibrated; it was a voice call invitation from Qin Yifan.

The boy could only open it, and the sound was a bit low, probably due to water entering the device.

"Feed? Where are you?! Did you fall into the toilet?! We're about to start eating!"

"There was a slight mishap, but I'll be there soon."

That was all Xu Yan could say.

"Okay, hurry up!"

After the voice call ended, Xu Yan watched as Ye Shutong, who had already left, walked towards a room without looking back.

Xu Yan also went out onto the balcony. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to follow. As for staying here... and then telling Qin Yifan and the others that he suddenly had something to do? Obviously, that was impossible.

He was about to go downstairs.

Just as he was going downstairs, his phone vibrated.

It's news from Ye Shutong.

There are clothes available on the first floor where you can change.

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment. When he walked downstairs, he saw clothes, pants, socks, shoes and even... underwear laid out on the living room table!

I didn't see it when I arrived, how did it suddenly appear? Did someone deliver it just now?

What Xu Yan found even more incomprehensible was that the style and color of the clothes and pants were almost exactly the same as what he was wearing, with only minor differences, and they were even his size.

The shoes are the same style, but the brands are clearly different and they are more expensive.

So she had planned this all in advance, which is why she was able to have it prepared and delivered on time? Wow...

Unable to understand, Xu Yan immediately sent a message.

Are you... mentally sound?

Ye Shutong: [What do you mean?]

Even someone as brilliant as me can't understand what you're trying to do today.

After sending the message, Xu Yan didn't receive a reply until he had dried himself off and changed into a full set of clothes and shoes.

If you're angry, I won't do it again.

Xu Yan: [...]

Ye Shutong: [Smiling emoji]

Invincible.

As for the clothes that were taken off... Xu Yan thought about it and figured they weren't worth much anyway, so he'd let Ye Shutong do whatever she wanted with them.

And the underwear... I threw it in the trash.

I'm still a little embarrassed.

Xu Yan walked out of Tianzi No. 1 with mixed feelings.

Not long after, footsteps echoed again in the quiet detached villa, from the third floor to the first floor.

A tall, slender girl in a white spaghetti strap dress walked step by step into the living room on the first floor. She looked at the somewhat messy living room and noticed the clothes abandoned on the sofa.

He took out the prepared bag and put the items in one by one, regardless of how wet they were.

After finishing the installation, she frowned slightly, then scanned the entire living room for a moment before finally arriving at the trash can.

There was something extra in the trash can that should have been empty. She thought for a moment, her expression changed abnormally, but she still bent down and reached her hand inside.

"This is unbelievable... What kind of strange experiences are these? Is tomorrow going to be some kind of apocalyptic scenario?"

As Xu Yan walked towards the barbecue area, he muttered to himself.

It's all so abnormal. I just don't know if what I can't accept is this abnormal life, or Ye Shutong, whom I can't understand now.

Sigh, whatever, I guess I'll just have to live with it. With a system like this, how could I possibly lose to her?

Are you kidding me!

It was getting dark, and evening was passing by. Before Xu Yan even reached the barbecue area, he spotted an acquaintance.

Wearing round-framed glasses, a white short-sleeved T-shirt, and with long hair, An Lulu, exuding an intellectual charm, was standing in front of a small stall by the roadside.

They didn't even realize they had arrived.

When Xu Yan tiptoed over, he found the girl staring intently at a chubby bear plush toy on the stall.

"The class monitor?"

Xu Yan softly called out the other person's name.

An Lulu's whole body trembled slightly, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes. Then, she guiltily adjusted her glasses and looked at Xu Yan.

"...You've arrived?"

"What are you doing here, class monitor?" Xu Yan asked curiously.

An Lulu shook her head, adjusting herself back to her original indifferent and aloof state. "They were worried you wouldn't be able to find the place, so I said I'd pick you up halfway since I was going to the restroom."

"Oh, as long as they don't come to kill me halfway."

An Lulu:?

"Since you're here, let's leave."

An Lulu was about to turn around.

Xu Yan asked, "Class monitor, do you like this?"

The boy pointed to the unlucky bear on the stall shelf. It was a game stall where you could buy five balls for twenty yuan, put them into the cannon, and take away whatever doll you knocked down.

The cannon barrel wasn't close to the doll, but it wasn't so far away that it would instantly kill your interest.

An Lulu didn't speak, but just looked at Xu Yan strangely.

Xu Yan explained, "I saw you staring at this bear for a while. If you want to play with it, you can. It's only twenty yuan, not expensive."

An Lulu shook her head, tilted her head back slightly, and looked somewhat disdainful. "I just glanced at it out of boredom. Who said I liked it? I'm in my final year of high school, I don't have time to cultivate this kind of interest."

"Oh~"

Xu Yan smiled, then took out his phone and said to the shopkeeper standing next to him, "Twenty yuan for five, right? I'll scan your code."

"What are you doing?" An Lulu was stunned.

Xu Yan said nonchalantly, "I think Cod Burger and Sister Ma might be interested. Let's see if we can take a few down and bring them to them on the way."

"what?"

"After all, I didn't spend any money today, so I feel a little embarrassed. It's time to show some courtesy."

As for what Qin Shao, who truly put in the effort, will gain? He will reap something even more precious, such as his own friendship and genuine respect!

He didn't mention himself at all.

An Lulu frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "It wouldn't be good to keep them waiting... I bet they're already eating."

"Anyway, it won't make a difference if it's delayed a little longer. Five balls, it'll be quick."

The boss had already handed the ball to Xu Yan, who then put one in.

Then he muttered to himself, "Sister Ma, I'll just give her a My Little Pony."

1

"Bang!"

He launched it right after saying that.

The ball hit the My Little Pony figure on the left accurately, and the figure fell to the ground.

The shopkeeper chuckled and placed it on the table. "Your aim's pretty good, young man!"

An Lulu watched Xu Yan's actions with a strange look in her eyes. He then began to recite, "If it's a cod burger... give her one of these."

"Snapped!"

Another shell.

This time, it hit a Hello Kitty cat on the right.

Both shots hit.

"She shouldn't dislike this," Xu Yan said with a smile, glancing at An Lulu in particular.

An Lulu felt a sudden tightness in her chest. She had completely forgotten what she had just said about the time issue. What was on her mind was that he had fired two shots and had three left, so...

My gaze was fixed on the unlucky bear, which was quietly waiting to be taken away by its owner.

"Who else was there?"

Xu Yan asked a question.

An Lulu opened her mouth, but felt as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat, and didn't know what to say.

Xu Yan suddenly realized, "Oh, and Zhang Yawen too. I'm not very familiar with her. Does the class monitor know which one she likes?"

An Lulu couldn't help but clench her fist slightly. "It's a milk dragon, right? Her profile picture is always a milk dragon."

"Okay."

"Snapped!"

"Three shots, all in! That's impressive, kid!"

When the boss brought the dragon plush toy over again, An Lulu really couldn't hold back anymore.

Two more shots left, and he's hit them both so far...

"Which one should I fire the remaining two shots at..." Xu Yan moved the position of the cannon barrel, and when the muzzle passed over the unlucky bear, An Lulu could hear her heart pounding.

"He hasn't fired those two shells yet," An Lulu felt she couldn't bear it any longer, and her face turned an unnatural color.

"It's getting late, maybe we should stop playing."

The tone of his voice was a bit off.

Xu Yan looked at An Lulu with a smile and said, "Class monitor, is there anything you want? I'll give it a try."

"Whatever, I don't know."

She tilted her head slightly, adjusted her glasses, and her face, which usually exuded an intellectual and somewhat aloof air, was no longer so calm and composed.

"Okay, I'll see how it goes. We can't waste it, right?"

He slowly aimed, and there it was—the unlucky bear.

An Lulu, who seemed a little impatient, had her face turned to the other side, but her peripheral vision was frantically moving closer to the unlucky bear, her hands behind her back clenched into fists.

"Snapped!"

This time.

It missed the unlucky bear, hitting the edge of the shelf by a hair's breadth.

But An Lulu felt as if she had been struck, her face burning with an unfamiliar heat.

Xu Yan opened his mouth in surprise, "Ah... this didn't hit? It was the last shot, let's leave it to fate, class monitor. Don't blame me if you don't get it."

Hearing this, An Lulu really couldn't hold back anymore; she felt that the other person was doing it on purpose.

To manipulate one's feelings of not acknowledging this preference, and then to cruelly torment oneself, is like kneading one's emotions like dough.

How utterly despicable!

"...Hurry up!"

"Snapped!"

Before An Lulu could even calm herself down, the shell was launched.

She had become uncontrollably focused on that unfortunate bear.

"You're amazing, kid! Want to try again with 5 out of 4?"

"No need, do you have any bags? Please pack it up for me, thank you, boss."

My vision was somewhat unfocused, as if my glasses had lost their function.

Xu Yan then took the unlucky bear out of the bag and said, "Let me see which child wants this unlucky bear?"

An Lulu:! ! !

The girl blushed instantly, clenched her fists—the situation was very serious!

But just before she was about to lose her temper and become so embarrassed that she couldn't bear it anymore, Xu Yan handed it to her.

"Just kidding, this is for you, class monitor. Please take good care of me in the future."

He had a bright smile and was still handsome.

Instead of feeling ashamed and annoyed, I loosened my clenched fist and even stretched it out... accepting the unlucky bear that I had been staring at for a while without any dignity or standing.

Unexpressed emotions, strange feelings, in conclusion...

It's not his fault, it's that he's too awful!
