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

There was also a facepalming shy emoji at the end of the text.

Luo Yanran's face, which had not yet cooled down, heated up again!

She covered her face with her hands, burying it between her knees.

Where did tonight's courage come from for her?

Yet the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift slightly into a smile, and the feeling wasn't bad at all.

Xie Xiao, who obviously hadn't caught on, was also quite cute.

Luo Yanran thought, maybe next time she could be more proactive.

She loved to see Xie Xiao looking so bewildered...

She couldn't resist taking out her phone and sending a message to Liu Ou, "I'm together with Xie Xiao now, and I even took the initiative to kiss him...(✿◡‿◡)"

Liu Ou, who had gotten off an intersection early and was taking a stroll back home with Lin Yu: ?????

She stopped walking, seriously rereading the message sent by her best friend.

Lin Yu, puzzled, also stopped and asked, "What's up?"

Liu Ou checked the message again, then looked up at Lin Yu, "Is this real right now?"

Lin Yu: ?????

He hesitated as he looked at the girl in front of him, "Did you get too caught up in the movie?"

Liu Ou took a deep breath, "Xie Xiao..."

She paused, wondering why she was asking Lin Yu, who had been with her the whole time, wouldn't it be useless?

Seeing her bring up Xie Xiao and then suddenly stopping, Lin Yu's heart jumped. Could it be that she also saw the kissing just now?

This? This? Xie Xiao never said he was with Luo Yanran; was that like playing the rogue?

The righteous Lin Yu started to waver, should he join Liu Ou later in condemning Xie Xiao?

But Xie Xiao really was a good bro.

He was still wrestling with the idea when his phone vibrated.

He pulled it out to see a message from Xie Xiao, which read, "Sorry bro, I'm in a relationship now, with Ranran, (*^▽^*)"

Lin Yu saw the happy emoji that followed.

A twisted expression crossed his face.

He glanced again at Liu Ou's phone, "Did you just get a message?"

Liu Ou looked him in the eye, glanced at his phone, and said, "You too?"

Lin Yu cursed under his breath, "Fuck! Is this damn dog telling the truth?"

"No wonder he was playing rogue in the cinema just now!"

"What?" Liu Ou's voice suddenly rose, then she recalled the off behavior of the pair after the movie.

She squinted her eyes and looked at Lin Yu, "What did you see? Why didn't you tell me?"

Lin Yu touched his nose, feeling somewhat guilty, "I... didn't really see anything."

But facing a girl's bright, questioning eyes, which were silently staring straight at him, Lin Yu felt even guiltier.

At the same time, he couldn't help cursing Xie Xiao in his mind, what kind of situation was this?

It wasn't he who had been playing the rogue, so why was he feeling guilty for him?

"Just, just saw Xie Xiao seemed like... he kissed Luo Yanran," Lin Yu said, adding quickly, "The cinema was too dark, actually, I couldn't see very clearly, maybe I was mistaken."

"Alright, then," but unexpectedly, Liu Ou clapped her hands energetically, "Good for Xie Xiao."

"Huh?" Lin Yu looked at Liu Ou somewhat bewildered. Hadn't he been prepared to criticize Xie Xiao with her? Why was she praising him now?

Liu Ou, in a good mood, patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, "Let's go, hey, you don't understand. Luoluo has been paying attention to Xie Xiao for a long time, anyway, this is good news."

Her steps became sprightly as she walked, "I'm too full today, or else I'd definitely treat you to a late-night snack to celebrate."

Lin Yu stood there for a moment before following her.

As he watched her happy profile, he felt like he really didn't understand girls' thinking at all.

Was she, really that happy?

Lin Yu thought, she truly was a strange person...

He couldn't help but take another glance at Liu Ou, and quickly looked away when she turned around.

After sending Lin Yu a message, Xie Xiao waited until he got off the car but didn't get a reply.

He couldn't help clicking his tongue, feeling somewhat disappointed.

This must be the loneliness of showing off to a friend who has already fallen asleep.

The sound of Xie Xiao opening the door was very light, so as not to wake up Xie Qingxiao, who was already asleep.

He glanced at the shoe cabinet, Doctor Yang wasn't on the night shift tonight either.

He moved even more quietly.

Yet, he still saw the door to the master bedroom open when he passed by the living room.

Yang Lan walked out and asked softly, "You're back?"

"Did I wake you?" Xie Xiao asked with a hint of apology in his voice.

Yang Lan waved her hand, "No, I got up for some water."

They knew that Xie Xiao had gone to help out at the stall today, and they were eager to ask how it went.

But now it was very late.

Yang Lan told him, "Get some sleep soon."

She walked two steps towards the kitchen then remembered, "Do you want a midnight snack?"

Xie Xiao shook his head, "No need, I'm still very full, mom, have your water and go to sleep early, don't mind me."

A smile he couldn't suppress lingered on his face.

Yang Lan felt that there was something odd about her son today, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.

In the end, she still urged him a few more times before going in to drink some water.

On her way back to her room, she finally sensed something off, why did Xie Xiao seem to be radiating happiness tonight?

After closing the door, Xie Xiao immediately sent a message to his girlfriend, "I'm home. Gonna take a shower first."

He hadn't received a reply to his message about a kiss, and Xie Xiao guessed she was feeling shy.

Indeed, she replied quickly to this message with a docile, nodding rabbit sticker.

Xie Xiao felt that Luoluo, in love, seemed to choose stickers that were also all soft and squishy.

It just makes you want to tease her, doesn't it?

Having been preempted by his girlfriend twice today, Xie Xiao felt a bit competitive now. He sent another message, "Want to video call?"

The other side replied with three question marks, "???"

Then added, "Why are you being a hooligan?"

Xie Xiao chuckled softly, and he responded, "Sorry, I missed typing a bit earlier, do you want to video call after I finish my shower?"

At that moment, Luo Yanran was lying in bed. When she saw his previous message about taking a shower and the next asking about a video call,

Her mind instantly conjured an image.

She had seen Xie Xiao shirtless before...

But a video call during a shower, isn't that a bit... too much?

So he was teasing her on purpose, right?

Luo Yanran bit her lip; they say love affects your IQ.

It must be true, otherwise Luo Yanran couldn't understand why she would impulsively make a video call just because Xie Xiao was deliberately teasing her.

Until Xie Xiao's surprised face appeared on the video.

Luo Yanran then realized, what had she done?

Xie Xiao, looking into the dark screen, hesitated before calling out, "Ranran?"

From the other end came a muffled, "Mm..."

The voice sounded a bit frail, "I didn't mean to..."
