Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

High school was about to start too, and Xie Qingxiao, teaching the first year this year, was also busy.

Moreover, the teachers had to meet in advance, so bringing Xie Xiao and the others over was a way for him to steal some leisure amidst the busyness.

And there's no need to mention Doctor Yang, who was never not busy.

So after dinner tonight, they would have to go back tomorrow.

Xie Xiao felt a bit sorry for them, going back and forth like this must be tiring.

He even mentioned it during dinner.

But Doctor Yang chuckled, "It's different. Although Mom and Dad are busy, they still want to try their best to not miss any important days in your life."

She spoke with a smile, "Bringing you to college today, didn't you see some people had both their grandparents with them? We are comparatively low-key."

As she spoke, she also reached out and took the hand of Luo Yanran, who looked envious, "Not to mention we still have to send off Ranran."

Xie Qingxiao said, "Exactly. You should think of yourself as just along the way."

Xie Xiao couldn't win them over, so he just smiled apologetically.

Luo Yanran was genuinely envious, but the hand held by Yang Lan felt very warm.

Such a family was really great.

It was precisely why someone as warm as Xie Xiao had been raised.

The hotel Xie Qingxiao booked was not far from the college.

After dinner, Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran sent them to the hotel before planning to head back to the school.

Yang Lan reminded them, "No need to come tomorrow."

Xie Xiao insisted, "I'm free anyway, I'll send you off and then stroll around the school a bit more."

Yang Lan sighed, looking at Luo Yanran, "Ranran, you just rest well in the dorm, the school is big, and it can be quite tiring."

However, Luo Yanran shook her head with a smile, "It's okay, Auntie, after we see you off, we can still walk around the campus together."

In the end, the two parents didn't insist, since they also wanted to see more of their children.

Xie Xiao holding Luo Yanran's hand, stepped out of the hotel and exhaled as he looked at the completely unfamiliar city.

The day had actually been quite rushed.

It was only now that he suddenly felt like they had truly arrived in a completely new city.

Their college...

Xie Xiao turned to look at Luo Yanran, "Should we walk back?"

Luo Yanran touched her little stomach and nodded, "Let's walk back."

Auntie had kept adding food to her plate, and she felt embarrassed not to eat it, so now she was still a bit stuffed.

Xie Xiao noticing her small gesture, couldn't help but laugh, "Next time just say no if you can't eat anymore, if I don't speak up, my mom could keep serving you endlessly."

Primarily because he thought Luo Yanran was too thin, he couldn't help but want her to eat more.

Sometimes Xie Xiao also felt this way.

"I was worried Auntie might think I'm picky," Luo Yanran confessed, still a bit embarrassed.

Indeed, she was slightly picky with food, but just a little, feeling it's completely normal for everyone to have their like and dislikes, picky eating is normal too...

Xie Xiao, holding her hand and walking forward, said with a resigned tone, "Still, you don't have to keep eating, eating until you are full isn't being picky."

They walked hand in hand through the crowded snack street.

Their school wasn't far now.

As Xie Xiao passed the snack street, he always couldn't help but take a few extra glances, thinking of Lin Yu and Grandma.

Luo Yanran seemed to think of them too, saying softly, "I wonder how Grandma and the others are doing?"

Xie Xiao glanced at her, "Lin Yu said everything is good, they went ahead to get accustomed to the environment and started their stall, business isn't bad near the school. The prices have been slightly raised, after all, in a new place, pricing too low might invite malicious competition..."

And Grandma wanted to prepare more money for Lin Yu, but they never skimp on quantity or ingredients.

A couple of days ago, Xie Xiao even watched Lin Yu's live stream, and a lot of people came to buy.

Mmm, lots of pretty girls around.

After all, we are near the school, and it's university now.

Throughout the evening, Xie Xiao saw quite a few people asking Lin Yu for his WeChat.

Thinking about this, Xie Xiao jokingly said to Luo Yanran, "This guy might even find a girlfriend."

Luo Yanran uttered an "ah," her first thought being of Liu Ou.

But she also knew that Liu Ou had said he and Lin Yu were not suitable for each other.

It wasn't about not liking or feeling; it was about not being suitable.

Many relationships in the world are filled with regrets; even someone as adroit as Liu Ou couldn't avoid dissatisfaction.

At that moment, Luo Yanran sighed, "I originally thought that Liu Ou at least felt differently about Lin Yu, but it's also good this way. Their lives are different now, which is for the best."

Both glanced at each other but didn't broach the subject further, as their stances on this matter were somewhat different.

Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran walked down the campus path, occasionally encountering seniors riding past them on bicycles.

Xie Xiao felt that, after the military training ended, he also needed to buy a bike since it was really quite a distance.

Luo Yanran laughed, "Can I ride on the back seat of your bike later on?"

Xie Xiao glanced at her, "You can sit in the front too."

Just as they were speaking, a young couple passed by them, the girl sitting in the front of the bike.

Their figures were very intimate.

Xie Xiao, still watching, couldn't help but say, "I've been curious for a long time, in winter, isn't the girl just blocking the wind for the guy when sitting like this?"

In the past, during winter in school, he could occasionally see young couples in secret romances whizzing by like this.

It was so cold in winter, and Xie Xiao could see the girl's face flush red and her smiling expression.

He felt like his own face was freezing stiff, not understanding how she could still manage to smile.

Luo Yanran fell silent for a moment, looking at Xie Xiao as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xie Xiao uttered an "Hmm?" "What's wrong?"

"Xie Xiao, you really lack a romantic bone in your body," Luo Yanran stated matter-of-factly.

At this point, Luo Yanran's dormitory was not far away.

But this school was really big; Xie Xiao still had to take a long walk back later.

When he heard Luo Yanran say he lacked romance, Xie Xiao, seeming unsatisfied, stopped walking.

Luo Yanran was also pulled to a stop by him.

Looking at him confusedly, "What's wrong?"

Xie Xiao huffed, "Am I really that unromantic?"

Luo Yanran hesitated a bit, as if to say, maybe a little, huh?

But probably fearing hurting her boyfriend's ego, she shook her head seriously, "Of course not."

Xie Xiao, seeing the serious expression on her face, couldn't help but chuckle, suddenly pulling out something shiny and thin from his pocket.

It slipped from his palm, a necklace.

Luo Yanran was stunned, looking at the shiny necklace adorned with a plain white ring hanging from it.

With a smile in his eyes, Xie Xiao looked at her, "Does this count as a little surprise?"

Her heartbeat quickened, "But, is this a ring? Or is it a necklace?"

Who gives a ring like this?

And it seemed so sudden.

Xie Xiao smiled, helping her put it on, "Consider it a little thought of mine; this ring is made of silver. In the future, I'll replace it with a big diamond ring for you, or even a gold ring, since gold holds its value better..."

As Xie Xiao fastened the clasp, he kissed her ear, still flushed under the lamplight, "I just wanted to mark you now, let others know you're taken."

You are so outstanding and dazzling, it makes me a bit anxious.
