For three years, there was a saying at City No. 1 High School: “No. 1 at City High is Wang Xiaoqi, while Xu Yinong is perpetually second.”
One evening after a self-study session, Xu Yinong was doing cleaning duty alone and was focused on sweeping the floor. When she straightened up, she saw the “No. 1” leaning against the classroom door frame watching her.
Xu Yinong: “What are you looking at? Stop showing off.”
Wang Xiaoqi smiled, “I’m not doing anything.”
She continued sweeping, her tone unfriendly, “Move your feet!”
Wang Xiaoqi stepped aside, “I’ve always outperformed you on exams, so how about I treat you to a meal to make up for it?”
Xu Yinong’s attention shifted slightly, “You’re making up for it?”

Wang Xiaoqi, after hanging up the landline phone, interrupted, “You all seem to have a lot of free time?”
Later, Wang Xiaoqi and Xu Yinong ran into each other in the break room.
“Manager Xu, don’t you have any loose shirts for your female employees?”
Xu Yinong: “Manager Wang, what do you mean by that?”
Wang Xiaoqi leaned against the door frame, lazily as he did years ago, “What do you think?”
Xu Yinong, unimpressed, retorted, “Manager Wang, is this how you talk to your clients?”
“Then, dear client, what role do you think suits me?” Wang Xiaoqi smiled, “Ex-boyfriend?”
“……”
