"Yes!" All of Jiang Yan's worries instantly vanished, and she threw herself at the slightly bashful Jiang Youbai. "I'm super, super, super happy right now!"
Her soft, fragrant body made intimate contact with his, and the fresh scent of grass almost wafted over him. The unfamiliar sensation made Jiang Youbai stiffen for a moment, but then his alpha instincts took over, and he wrapped his arms tightly around Jiang Yan's body.
Almost all the students had left the school.
Jiang Youbai pulled Jiang Yan along as they walked out. Jiang Yan moved slowly, inhaling the pleasant cream scent from Jiang Youbai's body.
Jiang Youbai helplessly ruffled her hair and tried to reason with his newly acquired girlfriend: "You can't go around sniffing a boy's pheromones like that."
"Why not?" Jiang Yan shamelessly pressed her cheek against Jiang Youbai's hand as she asked.
"Because..." The soft touch on his fingers was distinct, and Jiang Youbai, usually eloquent with a hundred excuses for laziness, suddenly found himself at a loss for words. Finally, he managed to utter a very inadequate response: "It's not good."
Jiang Yan, looking puzzled, asked earnestly, "Why isn't it good?"
Jiang Youbai couldn't tell if his little girlfriend genuinely didn't understand this common-sense issue or if she was deliberately teasing him.
In the end, he managed to regain his composure and gave a clearer answer: "Because only intimate people can do that."
Then, his little girlfriend delivered the knockout blow: "But we are intimate, aren't we?"
The sky seemed so beautiful, the road so wide, and the flying birds so clever and cute...
Having found a girlfriend, Jiang Youbai saw everything in a positive light. He no longer needed sleep and spent his days boasting about his girlfriend eight hundred times a day.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Yang regained his freedom after finishing training. Upon hearing the word "dismissed," he turned and left immediately, pushing his aircraft to the edge of the speed limit.
The academy was holding another grade meeting.
Jiang Yan sat with her classmate Lu Ningning in the back, and a boy quickly sat down next to them.
Jiang Yan was disappointed, realizing she couldn't sit with Jiang Youbai this time. She resigned herself to inhaling the scent of braised pork instead.
However, suddenly someone walked down the aisle in the distance. Wearing a tank top and pants, with a cap on his head, he had a lean yet powerful physique. His foxy eyes, filled with mischief, lazily scanned the room...
The boy sitting next to her suddenly raised his hand high, as if signaling. When Jiang Yan looked over, he smiled sheepishly: "The president asked me to save him a seat."
Jiang Youbai quickly found his way over and sat down next to Jiang Yan.
On the podium, the leader droned on, quoting obscure classics in an attempt to make his speech more thought-provoking. However, it seemed to have only achieved a certain medical effect—the insomnia problem that even hospitals couldn't solve was now cured in this moment.
Even caught between the sweet and savory aromas of braised pork and cream, Jiang Yan couldn't help but nod off.
Jiang Youbai, the student council president who should have been setting an example, openly laid his head on the desk. His foxy eyes were misty, but he still remembered to cushion the desk under Jiang Yan, afraid she might bump her head.
Finally, the meeting was over.
Last time, Jiang Yan had been watching those couples pairing off, but this time she had become one of them.
Lu Ningning rushed off to read her comics, while Jiang Yan and Jiang Youbai, having no classes, strolled hand in hand to find something delicious to eat.
At the intersection, however, stood a strange person. With a lean build and a headband, he was looking around. Even with his back turned to them, they could sense the cold aura emanating from him.
...
Lu Yang had rushed all the way to the academy gates, coldly persuading the old gatekeeper to let him in. But once inside the vast academy, he lost his bearings.
Lu Yang had to restrain himself as he asked his mother for Jiang Yan's classroom. His mother didn't know the details either, so she asked Jiang Yan's mother.
After all this roundabout effort, the information he obtained was useless because all the students were in a meeting today.
So Lu Yang stood guard at the only open exit of the meeting hall, hoping to find Jiang Yan and ask her why she wanted to break off the engagement. If it was his fault, he was determined to change.
But he never imagined that their next meeting would happen like this.
Jiang Yan suddenly received a call from her mother, and asked in confusion: "Lu Yang? Why does he want to find me? Didn't we already break off the engagement?"
The hand holding hers suddenly tightened. Looking up, she saw Jiang Youbai's foxy eyes fixed on her as if he had detected some dangerous signal.
Oh, right, she hadn't explained about her ex-fiancé to him. Because that had been resolved before she started pursuing Jiang Youbai.
Jiang Yan hung up and explained to Jiang Youbai: "It's all in the past. We've already terminated the engagement. It has nothing to do with him..."
But before Jiang Yan could finish, the cold-looking man with the headband seemed to spot something. He turned around, his gaze landing on Jiang Yan, then stiffly moving to their tightly clasped hands. Something seemed to shatter in his eyes.
Lu Yang stared at their joined hands, his eyes reddening, and managed to squeeze out two words from his throat: "Jiang Yan..."
