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

Luo Yanran's eyes lit up when she saw Xie Xiao.

She quickened her pace, almost running over to him.

Xie Xiao reached out his hand to steady her as she rushed over, "There's no need to hurry, slow down."

Luo Yanran smiled, the weather was so hot that even a short run had brought sweat to her forehead, "Have you been waiting long?"

Xie Xiao shook his head, "No, I've just arrived. You don't have to rush next time, take it slow, I'll definitely wait for you."

Luo Yanran blinked and then nodded, "Okay."

It was getting late, and Xie Xiao planned to go for lunch first, and then... well...

Maybe they'd see a movie, stroll around the shops, or cough cough get a room or something.

After all, it had been nearly a month since he had been intimate with his girlfriend, and as a normal male, Xie Xiao definitely thought about it.

However, he hadn't mentioned it to Luo Yanran yet, as such things were better when both parties were in the mood for it to be more natural.

Xie Xiao didn't pick a place too far for lunch. There was a trade city near the school with quite a complete set of establishments, and many students frequented it.

Getting off the bus, they saw people whose skin had darkened several shades, and it was clear that the majority were freshmen who had just finished military training.

Xie Xiao looked down at the difference between his and Luo Yanran's skin tones and suddenly laughed, "Is the color difference between us particularly obvious now?"

Luo Yanran lifted her arm and compared it with Xie Xiao's, then laughed as well, "You look like a little piece of charcoal."

Without thinking, Xie Xiao said, "

Luo Yanran uttered an "Ah" as she looked at him, her face reddening.

Xie Xiao looked at her blushing face, "What's wrong?"

He hadn't said much, so why the sudden flush?

Luo Yanran didn't speak for a while, and only after a while did she stutter in a low voice, "After we eat, there seems to be a hotel nearby..."

Xie Xiao: ...??? Is this some kind of windfall?

But how did she guess what he was thinking?

Xie Xiao was genuinely curious...

"Why suddenly bring up a hotel?" Xie Xiao thought about their recent conversation; there wasn't really any indication, was there?

So when Xie Xiao used that adjective, Luo Yanran thought that it had indeed been a long time since they had been intimate.

So Luo Yanran took the initiative to speak up.

Xie Xiao had not expected that, so had he, by accident, achieved his goal in advance?

But that was a good thing, wasn't it?

He said with a smile, "Then after dinner..."

"Let's eat first!" With a thin face, Luo Yanran interrupted him outright.

Xie Xiao took the hint and closed his mouth.

But one could still see from his eyes and eyebrows that he was in a really good mood.
Experience more tales on empire

The two of them didn't have much of an appetite at noon, mainly because the weather was just too hot, so they decided to have Cantonese cuisine.

At least it was lighter.

Unexpectedly, the place was quite crowded.

They had to wait a while before their number was called.

And Luo Yanran hadn't expected to run into Tang Lingling and Wang Wan again, though the two of them didn't look too happy, as if they were in a quarrel.

It was Tang Lingling who saw Luo Yanran and the others first, her gaze lingering on Xie Xiao for a moment, before she approached, "Didn't expect to see you again."

```

Luo Yanran actually felt she was a bit odd, but she was a fan of her mother's, so she said, "What a coincidence."

Then she saw Wang Wan glance over here before walking away.

She didn't even call Tang Lingling.

Luo Yanran let out a sigh to remind Tang Lingling, "Wang Wan left."

Tang Lingling just gave a nonchalant "Hmm" and didn't even turn around. "I wanted to smack her even if she didn't leave."

She looked at Xie Xiao with interest. "So this is that boyfriend of yours from the forum. He's quite handsome in person."

Xie Xiao didn't know their relationship, but felt that the girl in front of him seemed to have no malice, so he smiled and said, "Hi."

Luo Yanran, feeling a bit possessive, took Xie Xiao's arm and said, "My boyfriend, Xie Xiao."

Tang Lingling laughed and looked at Luo Yanran earnestly, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your boyfriend's type. I like them a bit more muscular. Alright, I won't disturb you any longer, I'll be going."

As she said that, she waved her hand but hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Wang Wan, that person, is a bit... Well, I'm not the kind to talk behind someone's back, but just don't trust her too much, okay? I'm off."

Having said that, she really turned and left, but before she did, she passed her number to Luo Yanran. "Don't waste it, this place is hard to get into."

Xie Xiao turned back to Luo Yanran. "Is she your classmate?"

"Sort of?" Luo Yanran glanced at the number in her hand. It was five spots ahead of theirs.

"We're in the same class. The girl who just left without coming over, she's the roommate that I thought had something against me. She's that pretty girl from the dorm next door I thought had issues with me." Luo Yanran chose her words carefully, "But it seems like there might have been some misunderstanding today."

Xie Xiao understood. "Because of that roommate?"

Luo Yanran nodded. She couldn't really say anything else, and apart from Wan Wan showing some disdain towards her, she hadn't really done anything. In the end, she said, "Anyway, it all just feels a bit odd to me, but Tang Lingling seems to have a nice personality."

Xie Xiao agreed; the girl from before seemed very straightforward in the way she talked and looked at people. "She's a bit like Liu Ou."

Luo Yanran considered it and disagreed. "Nothing like her, Hai Ou is one of a kind."

Xie Xiao noticed that his little girlfriend was to some extent, like a die-hard fan of Liu Ou's.

Possibly because Liu Ou had always been there for her, so Luo Yanran tended to think of Liu Ou first whenever something happened.

Xie Xiao felt a twinge of jealousy, so he asked, "What about me, then?"

Luo Yanran looked at him, clueless, "What?"

Right at that moment, it was their turn for the number Tang Lingling had given them.

The two of them went in first.

It wasn't until they were seated and had ordered that Luo Yanran looked serious again and asked, "What were you asking just now?"

"I mean, if Hai Ou is one of a kind, then what about me?" Xie Xiao asked word by word.

His gaze was earnest as he looked at Luo Yanran.

Ever since they got together, whenever they went out to eat, they had always sat side by side, rarely facing each other.

So at this moment, Luo Yanran was looking at Xie Xiao in profile.

Her eyes brimmed with mirth.

After a while, she asked word by word. "Xie Xiao, are you jealous?"

Her voice was full of laughter she couldn't hide.

Xie Xiao didn't blush; instead, he was very straightforward, "Yeah, because I realized that I seem to be less important to you than Liu Ou. The first person you think of when something happens is her, not me, so yeah, I'm a bit jealous."

His voice was calm, and his gaze was very serious as he looked at Luo Yanran.

It was as if he didn't see anything wrong with being jealous of his girlfriend's best friend.

With a smile tugging at the corner of her lips, Luo Yanran let out a "huh."
