How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

Chapter 78 You're Very Famous (Third Update, Please Subscribe!)

Wang Wei's sudden words made Jiang Yiyao hesitate for a moment.

Do you know me?

Wang Wei nodded. "I'm also from No. 1 Middle School. I've heard of you; you're quite famous."

His expression was a little strange when he said this.

Xu Yan guessed it probably wasn't a very good reputation.

"Really? I didn't know."

Jiang Yiyao shook her head, denying the claim that she was famous.

Wang Wei suddenly smiled and looked at her cousin, seemingly this was the first time she had a serious conversation with Xu Yan today.

"Cousin, you probably don't know that she was the undisputed school beauty of our high school, right?"

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Yiyao with a strange expression, "School beauty? Your school does such an awkward thing?"

""

I haven't heard the term "universally recognized school beauty" in a long time; it feels like something from an urban campus novel from ten years ago.

At least I haven't heard anyone discuss this in the affiliated high school. There are very few class beauties; they are mostly described as "generally good-looking" or similar adjectives.

"Get lost, I already said I haven't heard of it. It's probably just some bored people talking about it in private."

Wang Wei: ?

Am I becoming a boring person?

However, Wang Wei didn't care too much about such comments. The girl in front of her was indeed at a level that made people feel somewhat ashamed of themselves, so whether she was a school beauty that people were discussing was not so important.

The important thing is that she knows her cousin, whom she had never paid much attention to before, and their relationship seems to be quite good.

So she put on the sweetest smile she could and looked at Xu Yan, "Cousin, we're QQ friends, right?"

Xu Yan thought for a moment, "If I added them before, then I do. I don't have the habit of deleting people."

Except for Lin Jia.

"Okay, I'll be going now, bye-bye cousin~"

Wang Wei smiled, turned around, and left, thinking to herself.

Why didn't I think my cousin was so handsome before? Compared to him, the boys in my class seemed quite ordinary.

She's not good-looking, her face is covered in acne, she doesn't speak nicely, and she's nowhere near as funny as her cousin...

Xu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief after the whole family left in a hurry.

At the same time.

[Unlock Achievement: Three Times Angering My Cousin]

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

[Unlock Achievement: The Crow Feeds Its Parents]

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

Xu Yan: ?

Two achievements popped up at once? Holy crap, bro, give me more!

We've moved a bit too fast; it's because we're not broad-minded enough and our perspective is too narrow.

If Wang Xinhai and the others had stayed any longer, Xu Yan doubted whether he could have reached the third tier achievement in one night.

However, the claim that he angered his cousin three times is a bit of an overstatement. He only got angry twice at most, right? Where did the claim of three times come from!

"Your cousin is quite interesting."

Jiang Yiyao gave a soft snort and said.

Xu Yan shook his head. "What's so interesting about the little princess? It's probably because you've suppressed her."

This casual remark made Jiang Yiyao's lips curl up slightly. She smoothed the hair at her temple and said, "There's nothing I can do. It's hard for any girl not to feel insignificant in front of me. Sigh, I'm actually a kind person."

This pretentious act really makes them look just like a family.

Xu Yan thought to himself.

"Alright, you guys stop standing at the door. I'll cook, and we can start eating soon."

Jiang Yiyao hurried over and said, "Aunt Wang, let me help you out."

Xu Yan: ...

They're trying to embarrass themselves again; their intentions are despicable!

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Wang was able to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

"Oh dear, we can't let you come. You even helped us pick out gifts. Please go sit in the living room."

"It has nothing to do with me. Xu Yan paid for it all himself. He's just being filial."

"9

"That's how this child is. Although he can be a bit naughty at times, he's still very sensible... By the way, did I pick anything out for you?"

Jiang Yiyao's expression immediately became unnatural.

"Um, this..."

She should deny it and clarify that she and Xu Yan have a completely clean and innocent friendship, without any ambiguity.

But the truth is that he had already given himself a pair of expensive headphones last night.

This is when conscience and instinct begin to clash.

Seeing Jiang Yiyao's expression, Wang Hui chuckled, "It's alright, it's alright. Go sit outside, we'll eat together later."

.

"oh..."

Jiang Yiyao was at a loss for words. The flustered girl could only awkwardly return to the living room.

Xu Yan was half-lying on the sofa looking at her phone, while Xu Jia'an was on the other side.

The moment Jiang Yiyao sat down, Xu Jia'an jumped up.

The boy and girl looked at Old Deng, who had suddenly stood up, with some confusion. Xu Jia'an put away his phone and coughed.

"Hey, I'm going downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes. You guys have a good chat."

After saying that, he took his phone, opened the door, and walked out.

Jiang Yiyao looked at the boy not far away with a puzzled expression. "Does your dad smoke?"

"...It might be a hobby I've recently developed."

This old man, what is he doing? At his age, is he playing this game?

"oh..."

Jiang Yiyao didn't know how to evaluate it, but she could roughly conclude that Xu Yan's unfortunate personality was definitely related to his father.

Someone was cooking in the kitchen, while the two people sitting in the living room seemed to be separated by a vast galaxy.

The situation, which should have been one of natural interaction, was instead so cold and awkward that it made people feel uneasy.

Jiang Yiyao couldn't help but frown. "Say something."

He also stretched out his long leg and kicked Xu Yan.

Xu Yan sat up straight, adjusting his posture, looking puzzled. "What did I say? Why are you acting so strangely? It's not like it's your first time at my house."

Jiang Yiyao was too embarrassed to admit that she was feeling a little strange, so she bit her lower lip.

I'm bored.

"Go play if you're bored..." He swallowed the words back, almost treating her like one of the guys... If he said it out loud, he'd be on Xiaohongshu's wanted list, you know?

The girl, with her exceptionally high shrewdness, glared at him angrily and demanded, "What did you say?"

"If you're bored, go play King of Glory... Didn't you used to really enjoy playing it?" Xu Yan wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, quickly trying to salvage the situation.

"Who still plays that after all this time?"

"If you're bored, go to sleep. I'll wake you when the food is ready."

Xu Yan helplessly shrugged.

"You really know how to entertain guests."

Jiang Yiyao gritted her teeth.

Xu Yan grinned and said, "You're not a guest. Didn't you hear what my mom said? We're all family."

"Who says we're family? Stop trying to take advantage of me!"

"See, I can't be affectionate with you, and I can't ignore you either. You're harder to raise than a giant panda."

It's not like anyone asked you to support them.

She leaned back on the sofa and took out her phone to look at it.

It's better not to struggle at all, just be yourself and not waste your energy on trivial matters.

Maybe I've really relaxed, or maybe I've used up a lot of energy shopping this afternoon.

As I leaned against it, I felt more and more comfortable, and my eyelids gradually became heavy.

I don't know when...

thump.

It was an extremely faint sound, like a dewdrop falling in a quiet valley.

The boy, looking at his phone, tilted his head slightly, resting it against his arm.

Her eyes narrowed, and her breathing became even.

The phone in his hand fell onto the sofa, and his legs were casually placed, showing no restraint whatsoever as usual.

The fragrance wafted around my nose, and her body temperature felt like a hot wind blowing from the equator.

Her exquisite face was right before my eyes, with a straight nose and lips as pink as jelly.

Xu Yan's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. He turned his head stiffly, picked up his phone, and continued looking at it as if nothing had happened.

However, their posture and movements were unconscious; they didn't move at all.

Then they heard noises from the kitchen. "The food's ready, Xu Yan, come help..."

Just as Wang Hui was about to speak, she noticed two young people on the sofa, their postures odd but...

Xu Yan immediately turned his head, unsure of what to say, his expression slightly embarrassed.

Wang Hui gently put down the dish, gave Xu Yan an "OK" sign, and tiptoed back to the kitchen.

Xu Yan: ...

No, whose house is this?

So we were filming Parasite!

"Click!"

Old Xu finally strolled back, but the noise was quite loud, and the girl who was lightly sleeping on his arm groggily opened her eyes.

Then I saw Xu Jia'an holding the doorknob, and...

Hmm? When did I fall asleep? What am I leaning against? Is it a pillow? It feels so comfortable...

wrong!

Old Xu, awkwardly gripping the doorknob, chuckled. "How about... I go buy another pack of cigarettes?"

"Oh, Uncle Xu!!"

As the girl blushed and quickly distanced herself from Xu Yan, the whole house, including the kitchen, began to fill with joyful laughter.

The little incident didn't affect the peaceful dinner. Xu Jia'an and Wang Hui didn't do anything awkward to tease the young people; they acted as normal elders, nothing more.

After finishing their meal, with nothing to do and it being too early to rest, the two decided to take a walk to digest their food.

Stepping out of the apartment building, the familiar neighborhood seemed unremarkable, but the breeze blowing in tonight was exceptionally pleasant.

The two didn't talk about anything special; they mostly just walked their own way, and there seemed to be less to talk about than ever before.

During the conversation, Jiang Yiyao suddenly asked, "I remember in junior high school, weren't you quite close to a girl from another class?"

Xu Yan was stunned. Was she talking about Ye Shutong?

However, I don't recall the two having much interaction.

He asked curiously, "Why are you asking this? I have plenty of girls I'm close to, I don't know which one you're talking about."

"

Jiang Yiyao glared at the boy, "Never mind, it's nothing."

baffling.

After their walk, they went home separately. The two were used to not saying goodnight to each other, since saying certain things to someone they were too familiar with would just be awkward.

It's like when you've known a good friend for a long time, and suddenly one of them shows you ambiguous intentions, you start to feel uncomfortable.

After returning home, Jiang Yiyao took out her phone and opened a chat window.

The last message was from a few days ago.

She thought for a moment and typed it in.

The other party replied to the message very quickly.

They seemed to have a really good relationship back then; people often saw them together at lunchtime or during breaks. Then something happened, and the girl stopped coming to school for a long time; everyone thought she had dropped out.

By the way, I think she's going to the same school as you now.
