Chapter Six, A Lifetime Gamble.

Roommate knew she had caused trouble, and didn't know what to do when looking at Yan Jia. Yan Jia let out a long sigh and told her, "Speak up, anyway it's already like this."

After returning to the dormitory, he couldn't help but express his strong emotions and criticized Yan Jia harshly with his roommates, saying, "That girl from Automation is so uncultured and rude, she won't be able to get married in her whole life!"

Yan Jia's answer: "I have an advantage in debating."

Can we stop now? I've almost finished the table of contents. Eating more will delay my study!

Xu Yiran and Yan Jia are officially together.

Yan Jia watched as Xu Yiran remained silent for a long time, then nudged him with her elbow and asked, "What are you daydreaming about, Chairman Xu? Quickly share your thoughts!"

Xu Yiran's dormitory and Yan Jia's dormitory have become a joint dormitory.

Xu Yiran sneered, "Which of my words did I say? Is it this one, 'Yan Jia, that woman, with such a vulgar mouth, will never get married in this lifetime'? I'm sorry, I'd rather choose to eat books!"

Yan Jia was so shocked by Xu Yiran's extraordinary behavior that she almost dropped her glasses.

In Xu Yiran's dormitory, roommates surrounded Xu Yiran and clamored, "Leader, you've won so much, why not treat us to a good meal!"

Before the evening self-study, a major event occurred in the School of Information Science: Xu Yiran, the school heartthrob, is about to publicly perform the act of eating books.

Xu Yiran's face became even redder.

4.

The champion of the debate club is indeed not someone to be trifled with. She has a fiery temper. After hearing these words, without hesitation, she stormed over to Xu Yiran before evening self-study and slammed the table, asking, "Who are you calling uncultured? Who are you saying can't get married? Have you ever looked in the mirror before criticizing others? Have you seen how your nose hair is sticking out? You say I can't get married? Ha, I could say the same about your picky nature that prevents you from finding a girlfriend!"

Yan Jia clenched his back molars and uttered harsh words: "Xu Yiran, you're finished, Langwen, you're doomed!"

Yan Jia looked astonished: "Did they just disperse like birds and beasts? No, I don't think so. Clearly, they were indulging in the beauty of adulthood! And how can you compare your brothers to birds and beasts?" Ignoring Xu Yiran's twitching mouth, Yan Jia calmly started eating. "To be honest, I think you've already started to have feelings for me, haven't you? Look at you, every time you act like you want to leave angrily, but in the end, you always enjoy my company from beginning to end!"

Yan Jia stared at Xu Yiran in a daze, and Xu Yiran's smile almost melted her: "It's just that I'm going with the flow!"

I admit defeat, I will eat my words! Xu Yiran said with a twitch of her mouth.

Xu Yiran let go of her hand contentedly, saying, "Whether I grow taller or not doesn't matter. Remember what you said, 'I look better than him.'" After speaking, she strode arrogantly past Yan Jia and entered the venue.

Yan Jia pushed his glasses and dryly followed with a smile: "Hahaha! No, no!"

Xu Yiran immediately took over the conversation: "First and foremost, one must be alive in order to experience the sense of honor brought by dignity. If one does not even have the signs of life, even if they are given the highest honor, they themselves would not know or be able to enjoy it. So, what is the meaning or significance? In any case, it is all meaningless."

Xu Yiran and Yan Jia spoke at the same time.

Xu Yiran gave a cold laugh and said, "Then we have to argue about a topic like 'People without shame are invincible'."

Xu Yiran asked: "What kind of topic do you hope for?"

Xu Yiran frowned and asked her, "Are you so happy just to see me buried in books?"

When Yan Jia walked straight to Xu Yiran's seat in the cafeteria with a plate for the first time, her roommates consciously and neatly chewed their food and moved to other tables while holding their plates, without saying a word. Yan Jia sat down opposite Xu Yiran calmly and confidently.

Result--.

It has been noticed that the person who won the most is an ID called "笑嘻嘻" (meaning "smiling") and he bet on: Xu Yiran likes Yan Jia.

As desired by a few teammates, this message quickly reached Yan Jia's ears.

After the opponent's third argument had faded away, Xu Yan said to Yan Jia, "Take off your glasses and let me have a look."

Yan Jia picked up her phone without any change in her expression: "Sigh, you're really stubborn. Isn't it just that you've fallen for me and don't want me to leave so soon? Why do you have to make it sound like a struggle?" As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yiran couldn't hold back and sprayed the food out of her mouth.

As she spoke, Yan Jia became so anxious that her eyes turned red and her voice started to choke.

Yan Jia looked at Xu Yiran, and as she looked, she couldn't help but burst into laughter and playfully slapped him, saying, "You are such a rascal! No, we must set a date. I will make you perform the book-eating act in front of all the classmates again!"

Xu Yiran was eating the book like swallowing nails. Yan Jia took out her phone from her pocket and took a photo of him, saying, "Don't stop, keep eating! President Xu, don't worry, I will try my best to make you look handsome in the photo. After all, we are going to post it on the BBS!"

Yan Jia just took off her glasses and asked, "So, have I achieved it now?"

He looked at Yan Jia as if nothing had happened, biting his back molars and asking in a low voice, "Can you behave normally?"

Yan Jia smiled at him and said, "If you like, you should still be able to!"

Xu Yiran said: "This is a fiercely competitive society. Whoever has the ability can live a splendid life. But it's not about who has a noble soul, it's about who can live a splendid life. The premise of pursuing the soul is that you must first be a living being. Has anyone ever seen two corpses lying there comparing whose soul is more beautiful?"

Yan Jia: "Shut up, all of you!"

Xu Yiran's complexion improved slightly.

Yan Jia snorted: "I won't take advantage of you. Once you've bet yours, I'll bet mine. Then you can just pick a guy for me to pursue!"

Xu Yiran's mouth twitched. He really wanted to knock out his stupid roommates with a stick.

Xu Yiran coughed twice, unsurprisingly, her face turned red from coughing again. With a casual attitude, she said, "Then let's consider it a success."

Overnight, the news of Yan Jia and Xu Yiran's bet on eating books spread throughout the entire school. The BBS homepage was filled with numerous hot posts about Xu Yiran eating books, with photos taken from various angles showing Xu Yiran chewing paper. Some even set up gambling games in the posts, betting on whether Xu Yiran and Yan Jia would actually get together. Male students eagerly participated in the bets, reasoning that although Yan Jia may be a bit plain, she still has a spicy and flavorful charm. However, female students refused to participate in the bets, reasoning that our great chairman's precious cabbage should not be snatched away by a country bumpkin.

Yan Jia was stunned for a second, then jumped up happily.

After a brief discussion, the team entered the stage of discussing the battle plan.

For example, during the break, Yan Jia said, "Xu Yiran, didn't you say you were the best at math? Then why couldn't you solve the problem the teacher just gave? You're such a big liar!"

The onlookers are not afraid of big events, and under the guidance of Xu Yiran and a few roommates who seem a bit confused, they collectively applaud.

Xu Yiran sneered, "Did you forget to take your medicine before leaving?"

Xu Yiran held the plate and pretended to leave.

Yan Jia asked me what's wrong with my name and how it became a scam; Xu Yiran said Yan Jia, Yan Jia, with a beautiful appearance, have you achieved it? If not, isn't naming yourself like this deceiving others?

Xu Yiran's mouth twitched | Action: "I admit defeat, I eat books!"

1.

Xu Yiran: "..."

In future public classes, regardless of whether Xu Yiran is willing or unwilling in his heart, the seat next to him has already become Yan Jia's exclusive seat. Every time they sit together, they argue fiercely. Xu Yiran always looks like he can't stand it and wants to leave immediately, but strangely, he never leaves.

After the two got together, the post on the BBS that originally speculated whether Xu Yiran and Yan Jia would end up together was bumped up again.

During the gathering of the dormitory for socializing, a major incident occurred.

So excited? What else could it be if not guilty conscience! It seems that what I said is true! Hahaha! The classmates in the forum will be grateful to me tomorrow. Thanks to me, they can witness Chairman Xu's hilarious reaction in their lifetime! Yan Jia put away her phone and laughed uncontrollably. Xu, on the other side, still didn't know if he was choked, angry, or something else. His face turned as red as Guan Gong's.

The room was occupied by silence for five seconds. During those five seconds, the teammates wanted to flatter Chairman Xu shamelessly and kneel down. After five seconds, Yan Jiayu said seriously and earnestly, "Brother, you are here to argue, not to show off your face!"

Xu Yiran and his roommates arrived at the classroom relatively early. After they all sat down one by one, Yan Jia appeared at the classroom door with her companions. Instead of heading to the automated area, she walked straight towards Xu Yiran.

Just eat it! But let's make it clear, you'll have to cover the cost of buying a new book later!

On the first day of the new month, Yan Jia took off her glasses completely. With her chin raised, Yan Jia, who had taken off her glasses, asked Xu Yiran, "Give me a straightforward answer, did I catch up with you or not? If we continue to delay, it would be unfair to the enthusiastic onlookers who have been eagerly waiting for the result!"

Xu Yiran rubbed her chin and pondered for a moment: "I don't feel like arguing with you, so be it. Hurry up and tell me, who should I pursue?"

Yan Jia calmly reminded him: "It's peak dining time now. If you leave, you won't find another seat. Do you want to squat in the corner and eat with a plate in your hand?"

Yan Jia realized it was too late to stop it. Xu Yiran calmly instructed her roommate to speak well and continue, from the beginning to the end.

Yan Jiaya responded with a cold smile, "What do you have to prove that you can find a girlfriend?"

Xu Yiran is the president of the student union, who has always presented himself as a high and cold academic genius. Suddenly, when his classmates heard that he was going to eat books, which seemed irrelevant, they all became restless and rushed towards the classroom where Xu Yiran was studying.

Xu Yiran hummed arrogantly and didn't speak again.

In the classroom, more than half of the students have already sat down. The students who noticed Yan Jia's trace in time immediately watched eagerly with excitement, paying close attention to Yan Jia's next move.

Xu Yiran glared fiercely at several roommates and said, "Shut up!" He turned to look at Yan Jia and sneered, "What's there to be afraid of? Am I supposed to be afraid of you?"

Roommates unanimously expressed that the eldest is truly despicable. Clearly, he has been almost ruined by a little girl, yet he insists on stubbornly maintaining his dignity, like a terminally ill mental patient beyond cure.

8.

7.

Yan Jia urged impatiently with a displeased expression: "Stop talking nonsense, eat, eat, eat!" Her enthusiasm infected the onlookers, and they joined in the urging: "Eat, eat, eat!"

The final topic is: Is survival important or dignity important? Xu Yiran and Yan Jia are on the affirmative side and need to debate that life is more important than dignity.

Xu Yiran politely said, "Not at all, it's just a stroke of luck to encounter a topic that our team's Yan Jia excels at!"

Xu Yiran was choked by this bet. He imagined the feeling of having his throat filled with scraps of paper and felt that this woman in front of him was too ruthless.

Xu Yiran suppressed the urge to rub her nose, pursed her lips, and sneered at Yan Jiatu's black-framed glasses covered in dust, saying, "You need to be convincing. How can you prove that you can get married?"

Yan Jia has the urge to kneel down for him: "You are so good-looking! You are the most good-looking in the whole world and universe! The competition is coming soon, and you are still paying attention to these details. Can you be a bit more sensible, brother?"

Yan Jia smiled and said, "I told you so. You must have already started to be interested, otherwise you could just eat while squatting. There's nothing special about it. At most, you'll just be watched by others. Anyway, you won't continue to sit here!"

Xu Yiran raised his hand, and Yan Jiahong looked at him with blushing eyes, being on guard to dodge at any time... Could he be angry and hit her out of embarrassment?... As a result, Xu Yiran gently placed his hand on her head and started to stroke it.

Xu Yiran has been tormented by Yan Jia's words to the point where he can't say anything. He grits his teeth and swallows his food, planning to finish quickly and leave as soon as possible, so he won't have to endure the torture of this delusional patient anymore.

Yan Jia added from the side: "So, we believe that it is more important to be deadly than to save face!"

Xu Yiran continued to sneer: "Let that heart die, I will not call you!"

After a while, Xu Yiran said to Yan Jia, "Let's talk."

Just give it a try: "Okay, let's pretend what you said is true."

Xu Yiran coughed continuously without catching her breath, coughing until her face turned bright red.

After a brief shock, the onlookers pulled out their phones one after another. In an instant, Xu Yiran and Yan Jia were like male and female celebrities who had won the Golden Globe Awards, being crazily shot by the flashing lights.

9.

A new post has appeared on the BBS, discussing whether Yan Jia, this "land pig," has successfully won over Xu Yiran, a high-quality "big cabbage." If Yan Jia hasn't won over Xu Yiran, why do they seem more and more ambiguous now? If Yan Jia has won over Xu Yiran, why hasn't anyone performed the "eat book" act yet?

Yan Jia quietly lifted her foot and stomped hard on Xu Yiran's foot. Xu Yiran's face still showed a perfect smile, but her lips were trembling slightly.

He said: "Attention, all students of the school. I have an announcement to make. Our schoolmate, Xu Yiran, has a crush on our schoolmate, Yan Jia." Due to this confession, Yan Jia did not ask Xu Yiran to perform the book-eating act again.

Yan Jia anxiously followed Xu Yiran out of the door.

His roommates happily spread this message outside. Xu Yiran sometimes wonders if these guys are mischievous monkeys from the Water Curtain Cave, and is afraid that if the matter doesn't get bigger, there won't be any excitement to see.

Xu Yiran's cheeks were filled with food, making them bulging, but she still managed to make a mocking expression: "Don't even think about it! So you think you've won me over and now you want me to eat another book? Let me tell you, the next person who eats a book without a doubt can only be you!"

Yan Jia nodded: "Ah, quite handsome."

Yan Jia's roommate accidentally revealed that Yan Jia's approach to Xu Yiran was actually a bet made with her dorm sisters.

After the story was told, Xu Yiran remained silent for a long time. Yan Jia and her roommates sat nervously, waiting for the verdict. Xu Yiran's roommates, on the other hand, couldn't stop snickering and wanted to say something, but were silenced by a fierce look from Xu Yiran.

Then... ... Then Xu Yiran's face turned red again. This time, he didn't choke or cough, but his face turned just as red as the previous two times.

Yan Jia looked up, with an incredulous expression: "So, you knew all along?"

Yan Jia took enough photos, put away the phone contentedly, and said, "Okay, let's just eat this."

Yan Jia remained unfazed, asking Xu Yiran who she should pursue. Xu Yiran, with a sly smile, said, "Pursue me!" The onlookers booed. The excitement was about to reach its climax! Like Xu Yiran, they were all waiting for Yan Jia to refuse and then eat her words.

Xu Yiran's mouth twitched, rendering her unable to speak.

When the roommates showed this post to Xu Yiran, they chuckled and said, "Boss, look, your great reputation has spread far and wide! And how long do you plan to be so mysterious? Your original intention was clearly not like this. Is it because of jealousy and competition due to your success?"

Yan Jia smiled and replied, "Yes, and no!" She tiptoed and patted Xu Yiran's shoulder, "The force is mutual, and similarly, liking this kind of thing is also mutual!"

Yan Jia widened her eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

Yan Jia said: "In response to public demand, the reputation of the opposing team's third speaker is extremely high. Firstly, because he is handsome, and secondly, because he is truly eloquent and articulate in debates. I have watched replays of two of his matches, and he is indeed good-looking and quite impressive. During the free debate, he was almost invincible."

Xu Yiran: "What solution?"

Xu Yiran put down the calculus book and said with a calm face, "Don't let me be the only one performing monkey tricks. It's your turn too! I'll choose a guy for you to pursue. If you can't catch up with him," Xu Yiran extended her arm and took a thick English dictionary from the neighboring seat, "then you'll have to eat this for me!"

Xu Yiran had never known what it felt like to fail, until now. This is his first time.

Yan Jia is smiling happily: "You are such a stubborn person! You say no with your mouth, but your heart may already be looking forward to it! However, I won't give you the chance. I will always take the initiative to sit next to you!"

Yan Jiaya sneered and said, "Are you interested in me? Afraid that if I pluck my eyes out, other rivals will appear?"

Xu Yiran looked at Yan Jiajian speechlessly, "Everyone scatters like birds and beasts when they see you. Don't you feel awkward?"

Yan Jia said: "You can pick it, but what if you start liking me from now on?"

Xu Yiran still seemed to be in a trance, and it wasn't until Yan Jia pulled him that he came to his senses. He turned his head and glanced at Yan Jia, seemingly asking nonchalantly, "Did you just say he's quite handsome?"

But is it not quite appropriate for me to gamble like this?

Xu Yiran closed the laptop screen with a sinister smile, saying, "You guys don't understand anything. I'm waiting for her to play with fire and burn herself, helplessly falling in love with me during the process of pursuing me!"

Onlooker pig roommates who think the progress of the incident is too slow spoke up: "We have a solution!"

5.

Xu Yiran sneered and said, "I suggest you keep wearing it, given your propensity for attracting disasters."

The third speaker on the opposing side rebutted, "Can a person who shamelessly lives on still be considered truly alive? His soul has long been dead!"

After the debate in the courtyard, Yan Jia and her roommates made a bet while changing clothes in the restroom next to the arena, claiming that they could approach Xu Yiran in a very special way and win him over.

"Let's make a bet!" Yan Jia exclaimed, "Do you dare?" Her tone was full of provocation.

On the eve of the final, Yan Jia asked Xu Yiran: "What kind of topic do you think will be given for the debate in the final?"

Yan Jia pushed his glasses and said, "Are you trying to challenge me?"

Xu Yiran felt that eating paper was even more choking than eating steamed buns. After eating one and a half pages, he really couldn't eat anymore.

After the problem appeared on the screen, Xu Yiran quickly glanced at Yan Jia. Her eyes were full of meaning, as if saying, "Look, how lucky you are. The problem is in your area of expertise!" If it weren't for the competition, Yan Jia would have taken off her glasses and slapped Xu Yiran's face.

Yan Jia enjoys taking photos so much that it's a delight to watch. "Don't gross me out, I'd rather have you eat a book!"

Xu Yiran was speechless as he looked up to the sky. Like a hero cutting off his own arm, he picked up the book and started reading from the first page of the table of contents... and began eating.

The roommates collectively shrugged their shoulders and spread their hands, with an expression of "she doesn't let us speak, we tried our best." Xu Yiran fiercely scolded a few guys who were more trouble than they were worth.

"Are you stupid or what? I would never hit a girl, especially not you!" He gently patted her head and said, "I came out to tell you something, something that would embarrass me if I said it in front of others. Actually, that day when you guys were betting in the women's restroom, the noise was so loud that I could hear everything from the men's restroom!"

Yan Jia asked when she had a moment, "Have I caught up with you now?"

It was soon the day of the debate competition. I don't know if it was because Xu Yiran and Yan Jia had been arguing and bickering all day long for some time, but when it came to the competition, the two of them displayed an unprecedented tacit understanding and power with their sharp tongues, easily making their way to the finals through all obstacles.

In the classroom, Xu Yiran was confronting a girl.

Yan Jia sneered twice and said, "I designate a girl for you to pursue. If you can succeed, it proves that you really have no trouble finding a girlfriend, and I will admit defeat. If you fail, it means you lose!" She glanced at the book on Xu Yiran's desk and said viciously, "Whoever loses will eat the calculus book!"

The best thing in the world is probably when the person you like happens to like you back.

No sooner had Xu Yiran not expressed his position, his roommates became restless: "Exactly! We also have this suggestion! Oh, how coincidental! Yan Jia, didn't we discuss this together? How could our ideas be so consistent?"

Yan Jia didn't care at all and continued to talk to herself: "Otherwise, if one day I sit somewhere else and you voluntarily call me to sit next to you, even if I catch up with you, what will you do?"

Xu Yiran took a deep breath and put down the plate.

Yan Jiachong pushed his glasses and said, "If I were not normal just now, I would have sat on your lap directly."

Yan Jia quietly loosened the fist that had been tightly clenched, took a deep breath and whispered: "I was so nervous, I thought he was really going to leave."

Eat! Don't be stubborn, Chairman Xu, there are so many people watching you!

That year, he made a bet with his dormitory brothers. If he could win her over, each person would give him ten dollars. He wholeheartedly played the role of a lovesick man who fell in love with her at first sight, acting so convincingly that sometimes he even forgot it was a bet. A month later, she agreed to be with him, and he won thirty dollars. But he started to worry every day that she would find out his ulterior motive for approaching her. Finally, one day, the truth came out, and he panicked, his eyes turning red. But she just laughed and said, "Who do you think paid those thirty dollars?"

Yan Jia looked through the lenses and saw his expression clearly. He smiled triumphantly and said, "You, my defeated opponent, have lost to me not only in words but also in intelligence! You didn't expect that I wouldn't choose to bury myself in books, but instead agreed to pursue you! Let me remind you, don't fall for me in the future and embarrass yourself!" Xu Yiran felt it was a miracle that he didn't slap Yan Jia in the face. He was truly impressed with his own self-restraint.

Xu Yiran pursed her lips and said, "It means you are better at the first half of the sentence."

Two other team members also said that we must find a way to stop the opponent's third speaker from talking endlessly, otherwise we will definitely lose.

My roommate explained the whole story in detail.

Yan Jia took off her glasses and asked Xu Yiran what she thought. After a moment of confusion, Xu Yiran asked, "Why don't you wear contact lenses?"

2.

In recent times, Yan Jia and Xu Yiran have seemingly become the prospective couple in the eyes of the public. There are high expectations placed on them for this expedition. On the BBS, someone even posted, "When a husband and wife work together, their benefits are immeasurable. May our esteemed School of Information Science be the first to achieve success and return with honor!".

Soon, the city will hold a debate competition for college students. Xu Yiran and Yan Jia have been selected as members of the debate team, with Xu Yiran appointed as the team captain and Yan Jia as the vice captain.

Two days later, another post appeared on the BBS. The poster said they would never believe in this superficial world based on appearances again. Yan Jia took off her shabby glasses, tidied herself up, and miraculously transformed into a beauty. Meanwhile, Xu still appeared to be a deep person, but in reality, he was so shallow. After Yan Jia became beautiful, she didn't hesitate to perform the act of eating books again!

Xu Yiran almost choked on her own saliva: "Can your face get any thicker?"

When she went out, she kept apologizing, "Xu Yiran, believe me, I made this bet with my roommates just to find a reason to approach you boldly! Without this bet, I wouldn't have had the courage to get close to you!"

The third speaker of the opposing side was quickly thrown off balance by the seemingly logical and well-founded but actually erratic debating style of Xu Yiran and Yan Jia. Their impressive performance in the previous rounds was not able to be sustained. In the end, Xu Yiran and Yan Jia, representing the school, emerged as the champions of the city-wide college debate competition.

They are two classmates from the same college but different majors. They take many common subjects together. In the past, students from different majors would automatically sit in designated areas during class. Those studying computer science would sit in the middle area of the classroom, those studying automation would sit in the left area, and those studying information would sit in the right area. There were very few people who sat in the wrong seats. However, this pattern was broken by Yan Jia in the first common class after the book-eating incident.

Yan Jia's face revealed a sinister smile, as she extended her hand and slowly bent her fingertips towards herself, saying, "Me!"

On a sunny day, Xu Yiran was in the broadcasting room. After conveying the school's spirit to all the students, she privately and insincerely used the microphone to make a very straightforward and cool confession to Yan Jia.

Yan Jia said, "I'm not nearsighted, why do I need to wear contact lenses? I wear glasses because my mom went to have my fortune told and was told that I would have six months of bad luck. I have to wear this thing to block it. According to the calculation, I can take it off next month!"

10.

After a month, Yan Jia felt that she was only pursuing Xu Yiran's rhythm in class a bit slowly. She couldn't stand Xu Yiran's cold and hard face until now. She felt that she needed to speed up the progress and not disappoint the expectations of the vast audience who were waiting to watch the show.

Xu Yiran was panting heavily, and couldn't bear the posture of having to get up and leave immediately. He picked up the book on the table and patted it, but then... he put the book back on the table and opened the cover with a huff, starting to read.

Xu Yiran sighed and said, "Yan Jia, I must say you are quite something. Are you just thick-skinned or do you have an exceptionally strong mentality? I would rather bury myself in books than pursue you. Not only do you not understand worry, but you also plan to flaunt it on BBS!"

"Good!" Yan Jia replied.

Yan Jia added from the side: "So there is a saying that goes, 'Fate is one's own, but the face is given by others.' Not valuing one's own things first, but excessively caring about what others give, is a kind of prioritizing the less important over the more important."

6.

Xu Yiran sneered: "Isn't that perfect? You can use your lewdness to force me to study!"

After the award ceremony, the third opponent gracefully shook hands with Xu Yiran and said, "Your cooperation was wonderful, I was even dizzy from the debate!"

The girl took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you one more chance. If you apologize to me for what you said, I'll let go of the incident of you eating the book."

Xu Yiran nodded angrily and said, "Yes! I will fight with you until the end!" He took another big bite of rice, intending to finish his meal as quickly as possible.

She began to not confine herself to sitting only beside Xu Yiran during class, and now even during meal times, she persistently lingers around Xu Yiran.

If we want to trace the cause of this "eating books" incident, we have to go back to the freshman debate a month ago.

Xu Yiran silently browsed through the posts. At this point, he had been tormented to the point of losing all patience. He wondered how he had let the situation, which he could have easily controlled, spiral out of control to such an extent. He slowly scrolled the page to the bottom, squinted his eyes, let out a cold laugh, and mockingly called the people who commented before him "foolish humans." Then, he also put on a disguise and made a bet.

Xu Yiran's smile is as warm as a spring breeze: "Yes! I have known everything for a long time. Otherwise, why do you think I would talk about you for no reason in the dormitory? And why did this conversation reach your ears? When you made a bet with me, do you think I am that foolish? You said you would choose a girl for me to pursue, and I wouldn't add a sentence to exclude you and give you a chance?"

Xu Yiran raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Compared to deceiving people, I can't compete with you. Just look at your name, it's clearly a blatant scam!"

After exchanging greetings, the third speaker on the other side let go of their hand and said goodbye.

Xu Yiran squinted her eyes and said, "Compared to me?"

In this way, every time Yan Jia takes off her glasses, every time Xu Yiran chokes, coughs, and blushes, a new month quietly slips into their bickering days.

From the second day of the "eating books" incident, Yan Jia began to "pursue" Xu Yiran in her own unique way.

After the city-wide college debate competition, there was a subtle change in the relationship between Xu Yiran and Yan Jia. Although they still bickered, it was not as intense as before, but rather had a hint of flirtatious banter.

3.

The third speaker from the opposing side tightly held Yan Jia's hand and said, "Yan Jia, I know you! Do you remember? We met at the debate club in high school! Back then, you didn't wear glasses!" He turned to Xu Yiran, who suddenly had a slightly cold expression on his face for some unknown reason, and said, "Yan Jia was so impressive back then, a good student and beautiful. I don't know how many boys secretly admired her!"

Xu Yiran choked and said, "Yan Jia, do you have a delusional disorder? I'm not leaving because I got here first and took the seat. If anyone should leave, it's you. Why should I leave?"

The girl named Yan Jia across the room glared at Xu Yiran with a fierce look in her eyes. She walked up to his desk and selected the thickest calculus book from the stack he brought for self-study. With a loud "bang," she slammed it down in front of Xu Yiran.

Just a second before entering the final, Xu still grabbed Yan Jia and solemnly asked again, "Who looks better, me or the opponent, in the third debate?"

The school-wide freshman debate competition has concluded after several rounds of intense competition. The finalists are the computer team led by Xu Yiran and the automation team led by Yan Jia. Without Yan Jia, Xu Yiran's sharp and cold tongue would have been invincible. Unfortunately, he met Yan Jia. In the final, Yan Jia used poison to fight poison and defeated Xu Yiran with even more cutting and sharp remarks.

Yan Jia looked at him after he took a big bite of food and said, "To be honest, I can tell you're a bit annoyed. How about this, tomorrow you take the initiative to invite me to sit next to you for a meal. Even if I pursue you, what do you think?"

At the beginning of the debate, both sides were evenly matched. As the debate entered the stage of free discussion, the entire competition entered an unprecedentedly intense phase. The third speaker from the opposing side confidently stated, "Dignity is more important than survival. If there is no dignity, what is the meaning of life?"

Upon hearing Yan Jia's answer, Xu Yiran appeared stunned. He seemed to feel hurt by the behavior of an unruly person who did not follow the rules.

Yan Jia held up the pre-prepared mobile phone and "click" captured the precious moment of Xu Yiran "spraying rice for love".

Yan Jia walked up to Xu Yiran's roommate and stood still. With a "bang", she slammed the book in her hand onto the table, pushed up her glasses, and calmly said, "Brothers, could you move to the back and leave this seat for me? I need to chase after your eldest brother!" After a moment of stunned silence, the roommates collectively gathered their books and moved to the back.
