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

Although Xie Xiao tried very hard to control his emotions,

how well did Luo Yanran know him?

She still heard the laughter and a hint of anticipation in his tone.

How should she put it, Luo Yanran still felt a bit shy.

But since Uncle Xie had taken the initiative to say it, and her relationship with Xie Xiao was just a certificate and a wedding ceremony away,

it seemed like there was really no issue with her staying at his place.

So, with her face all red, she said, "Okay, I wouldn't want to impose on uncle and auntie."

Xie Qingxiao, from the driver's seat, laughed and said, "Impose what? Your auntie started getting the guest room ready right after she hung up the phone with your mom last night."

Xie Xiao: ...??? Wait, what guest room?

Isn't she his fiancée? Why isn't she staying in his room directly?

It's not easy to tidy up the guest room at their home; it's hardly ever used all year round, so why go through such trouble?

Even though he was inwardly ranting furiously, he saw Luo Yanran looking relieved beside him.

Xie Xiao swallowed back his complaints after all.

Fine then, they would just be in the adjacent room, could a single door really stop him?

No way!

Only when the three of them arrived home did they realize that Dr. Yang had already returned and was busy in the kitchen.

This was something Xie Qingxiao hadn't expected either, "Hey, wife, weren't you on shift today?"

Yang Lan came out of the kitchen and looked towards Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran, "Oh, it's just that I've missed Luoluo so much lately; I swapped shifts with Dr. Zhou."

As she spoke, she walked over and, as usual, Xie Xiao reached out for a hug from his mother, "Mommy~"

Yet, he saw his mother pass him by and hug Luo Yanran who was just behind him, "Luoluo, how come you've lost weight? I've made all your favorite dishes today; make sure to eat lots, okay?"

Luo Yanran sweetly said, "Sure, Auntie, I've missed your cooking."

Xie Xiao stood to the side with his arms still outstretched, dramatically sighing, "Ah..."

Only then did Yang Lan glance at him, her eyes clearly twinkling with amusement.

She still complained, "How big are you now..."

But even as she said that, she still opened her arms to hug her son.

She patted his back a few times, "Why has everyone gotten so thin? Haven't you been eating well?"

Xie Xiao hugged his mother and argued, "I eat five meals a day, right? It's just been a bit busy at the start. Ranran is the one who often doesn't eat properly; talk to her about it!"

Luo Yanran pinched Xie Xiao's waist, how could he say such things!

Xie Qingxiao, looking on at his wife, son, and future daughter-in-law, wore a smile in his eyes but let out a sigh, just like Xie Xiao had done moments before, "So I'm the redundant one in the family, am I?"

Yang Lan felt that this father and son were cut from the same cloth.

Out of embarrassment to hug her husband in front of the kids, she just released Xie Xiao and lightly slapped him, "Come in and help me."

"Xiao Xiao and Luo Luo, you guys go put away your things and take a rest," Yang Lan instructed her son, "The guest room is ready, you show Luo Yan to it."

Xie Xiao gave a heartfelt response, carrying a suitcase in each hand as he led Luo Yanran through the living room, and after seeing his parents enter the kitchen,

he didn't hesitate to push open the door to his own room. Luo Yanran was taken aback, watching him wheel both suitcases inside.

She glanced at the room next door, "Isn't the guest room here?"

Before she could finish speaking, Xie Xiao pulled her into the room.

Then the door closed with a click.

Luo Yanran inexplicably thought of the first time she came to Xie Xiao's house back in high school, when they kissed on the living room couch.

It was also the click of the door then that signaled Uncle Xie's arrival...

Even after so long, Luo Yanran couldn't help but feel her face heat up when she recalled that scene.

```

Even though they had already gone public and received everyone's blessings,

that feeling of youthful awkwardness still existed vividly in her memories.

Every unintentional touch could make her blush and her heart race cluelessly.

And it was the same this time.

Xie Xiao pinned her against the door and leaned down to kiss her lips, his voice light and muffled. "Have I been wanting to do this since you agreed to stay over?"

Do what?

Kiss you, of course...

The kiss was long and carried a hint of excitement.

Luo Yanran quickly melted into it.

Xie Xiao scooped her waist and pressed her close to him.

Through the door, they could occasionally hear noises from the kitchen.

His parents were busy in the kitchen, and here he was, kissing the girl he liked.

Somehow, it felt thrilling.

In the end, it was Luo Yanran, who was more bashful, who pushed him away.

But even so, her lips were a bit moist and slightly swollen.

Xie Xiao gently traced her lips with his finger, his eyes smiling, "They look lovely."

Paired with her flushed little face, she was so beautiful it made his heart flutter countless times.

Luo Yanran listened carefully to the sounds outside and then pushed Xie Xiao away, "Don't go too far."

Xie Xiao looked shocked, "Who's going too far? Didn't you enjoy our kiss just now? So now you're going to pretend you don't recognize me?"

Thinking about her own whimpers just moments ago, Luo Yanran's face turned completely crimson.

She glared at Xie Xiao, annoyed yet helpless.

In the end, she could only turn around and try to open the door to head to the guest room by herself.

Well, although she is now lawyer Luo, she still has no fighting spirit in front of Xie Xiao.

Seeing her intention, Xie Xiao quickly grabbed her hand and apologized, "Don't be mad, I was just joking, I won't tease you anymore, really!"

His voice was soft, "You haven't really taken a good look at my room yet."

It was indeed true, Luo Yanran wouldn't feel comfortable going into his room in front of his parents before anyway.

And since they went out to study, they hardly spent any time at home.

Thinking about it, she really hadn't properly looked at Xie Xiao's room for such a long time.

Seeing that she stopped moving, Xie Xiao knew she was listening.

He quickly pulled her hand and walked inside, "Come, inspect your territory."

Luo Yanran's lips curled slightly, but she controlled it, "It's not mine, it isn't my room."

Xie Xiao said with a smile, "How is it not your room? The master of the room belongs to you, let alone the room itself."

This time, Luo Yanran couldn't suppress her smile.

No one dislikes hearing sweet nothings.

Especially when those sweet words come from Xie Xiao.

Seeing her finally smile, Xie Xiao smiled too, feeling a sigh of relief inside.

Otherwise, if he had really let her go, he might have felt more and more embarrassed just being alone.

At dinner, who knows how awkward he would've been, which would've been too easy for his parents to notice.

Then she would feel even more embarrassed...

And so the cycle continues!
