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

Luo Yanran looked up at him when she heard his words, her eyes somewhat resentful, "Do you need some personal space?"

Xie Xiao chuckled and covered her big eyes with his hand, "No, I'm just asking. I mean, maybe we need a study room, you might need to look at documents in there in the future?"

Luo Yanran responded with an "Oh," sounding quite obedient.

Xie Xiao chuckled again and pinched her cheek, "You~"

And then he kissed her once more.

The driver in front glanced at them through the rearview mirror, and, having seen what he did, dared not look again.

The youth of today.

Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran's account was still operating, amassing nearly a million followers.

Mainly because Xie Xiao hadn't focused much on this in recent years, so he only posted videos occasionally.

They didn't do livestreaming of goods for sale or anything like that, anyway, it was very low-key.

But no matter what, their high attractiveness and the title of "scholarly couple" still very much excited their fans.

When they got to the mall, Luo Yanran started to hesitate, "What should I buy?"

It didn't seem right to buy clothes or bags considering her grandmother's age, especially since Luo Yanran's grandmother had passed away early.

She indeed lacked experience in this area.

If she asked Xie Xiao, he actually didn't know either.

He looked innocent, "Lin Yu and I used to just take grandma out to eat and then buy a cake. We also bought a thermos and a phone before, but this year I really don't know."

Luo Yanran gave up and sent Xie Xiao to buy her a milk tea while she called Liu Ou on the side.

Xie Xiao felt somewhat helpless; great, his wife's temper was getting bigger the more he pampered her.

His eyes gleamed with mirth, but he loved this feeling.

Xie Xiao lined up at the very end of the queue, with four or five people ahead of him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Xie Xiao checked his phone while waiting.

When it was his turn, he barely looked up, "Signature milk tea, less sugar, no ice, thank you."

He finished replying to messages before scanning to pay.

But the milk tea server today seemed a bit cold, not talking at all.

Xie Xiao muttered to himself, then looked up only to see Zhou Mianmian staring at him.

Xie Xiao was stunned.

He hadn't seen Zhou Mianmian since the high school reunion.

The last he heard about her was that she had run away after reporting Yan Shi.

In the years that followed, no one mentioned her any longer.

So seeing her all of a sudden startled him.

A young girl behind him, apparently also having waited too long, craned her neck to check, "Why is it taking so long?"

Zhou Mianmian seemed to snap out of it and hurriedly bent down to start making the milk tea.

Xie Xiao didn't say anything, watching her turn to make the tea and then stepping aside to let the next person order.

The milk tea was quickly ready.

Xie Xiao said, "Pack it up, thank you."

Zhou Mianmian couldn't help but glance at him again, her hands trembling slightly as she packed the drink.

She hadn't expected to encounter Xie Xiao.

She had been on this side for half a year.

Over the years, she constantly moved places fearing Yan Shi's family would find her, although she knew it was unlikely they would still seek her out.

But she was scared.

A life on the run was not pleasant, but it was still better than getting beaten every day.

Half a year ago, she had seen someone watching a video of Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran on the bus.

She couldn't help but ask what it was.

Only then did she learn that Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran had been together all along.

Zhou Mianmian, as if self-torturing, watched their videos many times.

She knew before that Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran had both come here for university,

So she didn't even know why she had come herself.

But after graduating high school, she couldn't find any decent jobs here.

Yet, she still persisted for half a year.

She had never thought about finding Xie Xiao, but today, she still encountered him.

Zhou Mianmian watched as he thanked someone for the items, then turned around and left, just as if they were strangers.

Only after so many experiences did Zhou Mianmian realize how great Xie Xiao was, and how serious he was when he liked her.

Xie Xiao was too outstanding, originally the person by his side could have been her...

It's a pity that back then she simply didn't understand, didn't understand anything...

Suddenly, she told a coworker next to her, "I need to go to the restroom, I'll be quick..."

"Oh..."

The coworker said something behind her, but Zhou Mianmian didn't hear it as she ran out and looked around.

She quickly spotted the person she was looking for, standing in front of a girl, whispering something.

The girl was holding a milk tea that he had just bought. Zhou Mianmian didn't know what Xie Xiao had said, but the girl raised her milk tea up to his cheek.

Then Xie Xiao lifted his hand, held her hand, and kissed it gently.

Zhou Mianmian took two steps forward and clearly saw both of their faces and the smiles on them.

Indeed, the girl was Luo Yanran.

Zhou Mianmian felt somewhat bitter but also found it natural.

No one knew better than her about Xie Xiao's depth of feeling and persistence.

She also knew how much Luo Yanran liked Xie Xiao.

Suddenly, she no longer had the courage to walk over.

The couple in front of her matched each other so well.

Zhou Mianmian suddenly became very aware that even if she had been with Xie Xiao, they would not have had the chance to stand there together.

She would likely only drag Xie Xiao down.

Instead of standing beside him like Luo Yanran, striving to reach higher places together.

When young, she was foolish and thoughtless.

Now, having experienced so much, Zhou Mianmian reflected many times, even when Xie Xiao no longer liked her, he had still given her many hints.

Xie Xiao was a good person, as was Luo Yanran,

and she had always been a vain and unrealistic person.

That's why she always stumbled and suffered on the same path.

At this moment, everything was too late.

Actually, there were plenty of kind people around her, but she had squandered all that kindness.

Everything was due to her own doing.

Zhou Mianmian did not proceed further, but instead turned and went back.

Luo Yanran pulled back her hand, "Why are you like this, I even asked Liu Ou..."

Her gaze suddenly fixed on a figure behind Xie Xiao.

That silhouette seemed familiar.

It looked a bit like Zhou Mianmian.

She had followed the two for so long before that not only was she familiar with Xie Xiao's silhouette, but she recognized Zhou Mianmian's as well.

"I know, my bad, I'll stop laughing now, okay?" Xie Xiao said with a laugh, apologizing yet noticed that Luo Yanran was staring blankly at something. He turned around, "What are you looking at?"

But behind him were only passing pedestrians, "What happened?"

Luo Yanran seemed hesitant, but finally spoke up, "I just saw a silhouette that looked a lot like Zhou Mianmian."

Xie Xiao paused for a moment, looking towards the direction where he bought the milk tea, "I saw her just now when I was buying the milk tea, she was at that milk tea stall."

Now it was Luo Yanran's turn to be stunned.

She blinked, looking at Xie Xiao, as though she wanted to say something but was unsure how to articulate it.

Xie Xiao smiled helplessly, "She didn't say anything, I guess she didn't want us to recognize her. Let's go, we have to buy presents for grandma."

Luo Yanran's heart suddenly felt relieved, "Okay."
