After Differentiation, I Marked My Arch-nemesis - Chapter 18

Time flew by, and soon it was Friday.

Jiangcheng No. 1 High School ended at 3:30 p.m. on Fridays after two periods. Class 1’s last class was chemistry. Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian left the classroom with their bags ten minutes early. The chemistry teacher saw them but didn’t say a word.

There was no point in saying anything anyway.

Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian left the academic building and went straight to the bike shed.

Two minutes later, they were walking toward the school gate with their bikes.

Chen Huaian looked at Jiang Youli and said slowly, “Boss, today…”

“No,” Jiang Youli said in a flat voice.

Chen Huaian was speechless.

“You guys go ahead,” Jiang Youli said.

Chen Huaian immediately stopped and grabbed Jiang Youli’s arm, making a long face. “Boss, you haven’t hung out with us for a whole week.”

This week, Jiang Youli had gone straight home after school every day.

She used to hang out until dark before going home.

Now…

It was just too strange.

“Why should I go out?” Jiang Youli asked, her expression unchanging.

“What?” Chen Huaian asked, even more confused. “Boss, what did you just say?”

“I said, why should I go out?” Jiang Youli repeated.

“Boss, you’ve changed,” Chen Huaian said. “You weren’t like this before.”

“What was I like before?” Jiang Youli asked with interest.

“Before, you were the one who organized most of the hangouts,” Chen Huaian said, unable to understand. “Now you go straight home after school. This is so unlike you.”

Jiang Youli sighed. “I’m getting old. I don’t have the energy to go out anymore.”

Chen Huaian was speechless.

What is my boss even talking about?

“Alright,” Jiang Youli said.

She patted Chen Huaian’s shoulder reassuringly. “Next time, for sure.”

Chen Huaian looked down in disappointment. “Okay, fine…”

Only God knew when “next time” would be.

He didn’t ask. There was no point anyway.

“Let’s go,” Jiang Youli said, pushing her bike forward.

“Okay,” Chen Huaian said, following her.

They left the school gate and went their separate ways.

Just like the past few days, Jiang Youli rode her bike to a street sign across from Jiangcheng No. 1 High School. This week, Qiao Yixun had walked Lu Yaoyi home every day after school, so she waited for them under that street sign every day.

Then she would secretly follow them, like a thief.

Not long after, the school bell rang, and the school gate was quickly flooded with people. Jiang Youli sat on her bike, meticulously staring at the gate, afraid she would miss them.

Soon, Lu Yaoyi and Qiao Yixun appeared in her sight, one after the other.

She followed them skillfully.

She had spent the whole week secretly escorting Lu Yaoyi home. Although she wouldn’t admit it, everything she had done was to make sure Lu Yaoyi got home safely with her own eyes.

She had figured something out.

She felt that the reason she was so unhappy was because Qiao Yixun was a player.

And a player like Qiao Yixun was trying to go after Lu Yaoyi.

Ultimately, she just didn’t want Lu Yaoyi to be messed around with by an Alpha like Qiao Yixun.

Even though she hated Lu Yaoyi, she had to admit that Lu Yaoyi was an excellent person. Lu Yaoyi absolutely deserved a better Alpha and deserved to have the best Alpha. She thought that the person who could stand beside Lu Yaoyi hadn’t appeared yet.

Besides, Lu Meishan and Guan Luyu were so good to her.

She had been hypnotizing herself all along.

Everything I’m doing is to repay Lu Meishan and Guan Luyu for their kindness.

In fact, she was also a little angry.

She was angry at Lu Yaoyi.

Lu Yaoyi knew that she and Qiao Yixun were good friends, so why didn’t she ask her what kind of person Qiao Yixun was? If she did, she could have warned her that Qiao Yixun was a player who liked to mess with people’s feelings. She had been waiting for Lu Yaoyi to message her, but she never did. She, on the other hand, would never proactively tell Lu Yaoyi, lest that narcissist think she cared about her.

Hmph. I don’t care about Lu Yaoyi.

Today, she successfully completed her mission of escorting Lu Yaoyi home.

She hid so well that she wasn’t discovered by Lu Yaoyi or Qiao Yixun.

Saturday

Today was Qiao Yixun’s birthday. She had rented out an entire floor of the most luxurious hotel in Jiangcheng and invited a bunch of friends to celebrate with her.

Jiang Youli was also there.

Her good friends also came to Qiao Yixun’s birthday party.

They were now in a private karaoke room, Room 104, singing.

This room was only for students from Grade 11. There were about ten people, all friends. After all, it was more fun to hang out with people you knew.

Right now, Jiang Youli was sitting on the sofa, drinking a soft drink and singing.

Li Henian didn’t allow her to drink alcohol. So she could only drink a soft drink to avoid making him worry.

The entire room was filled with deafening singing, and colorful lights flashed across everyone’s faces. The air was filled with the scent of alcohol.

Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian were playing a dice game where they would lie and drink if they lost.

Of course, Jiang Youli didn’t drink. Chen Huaian and a few others did.

After some time, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A familiar figure, elegant and beautiful, walked in.

Jiang Youli was instantly stunned when she saw the girl at the door.

It was… Lu Yaoyi?!

How is Lu Yaoyi here?!
