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

Xie Xiao felt the icy sensation gradually warm up.

The girl in front of him slowly blushed.

The place was indeed crowded, with many people walking around and the noise was loud.

So he quickly let go of Luo Yanran.

Then he reached out to wipe the moisture from the corner of her mouth, his voice carrying a smile, "Hmm, the last bite is shared, I love you."

Luo Yanran looked at the boy in front of her, who said "I love you" in a gentle and natural tone.

It wasn't any special occasion, but it seemed like just a very ordinary phrase.

The feeling was as if his love for her was something very natural.

Luo Yanran's face uncontrollably began to heat up.

Was it because of Xie Xiao's words or because of the stares they were getting from the passersby?

In the end, she hurriedly pulled Xie Xiao by the hand and moved forward.

Xie Xiao still heard her mutter, "That's cheating."

Although she said that, both of them clearly knew, the cheating was something Luo Yanran allowed herself.

Xie Xiao then took her hand in his, "Did you have lunch?"

Luo Yanran shook her head, "I sent you a message and when you didn't reply, I figured you were busy and didn't have time for lunch, so I was waiting for you."

With her free hand, she touched her belly, "But I did have some snacks."

Xie Xiao made a sound of acknowledgment, "Then do you want to eat something?"

Luo Yanran turned to look at him, "That's up to you. I'm not very hungry."

Xie Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Then how about we go out for some Cantonese food..."

"No way! There's so much to eat right here at the snack street!" Luo Yanran quickly interrupted him, "I've been wanting to come here and you wouldn't let me. I finally got the chance!"

Xie Xiao, with a smile, reached out and tapped her nose, "Then why did you say it was up to me?"

Luo Yanran indignantly replied, "I just thought saying it that way would make me sound nicer."

She was afraid that later Xie Xiao would hold her accountable for eating two, no, one and a half ice creams.

Xie Xiao was immediately amused by her, "Alright, I know you're the most obedient."

He said it with a smile filling his eyes.

That somewhat fascinated Luo Yanran.

It was really strange, they had been together for so long, yet she still found herself fascinated and moved by Xie Xiao.

It was the countless times she felt moved for you.

In the end, Xie Xiao still followed her wishes and searched for food in the snack street, not to mention that it was her first time there.

But she really did her homework.

Along the way, Luo Yanran led Xie Xiao to many famous stalls.

Mostly they didn't hit any landmines, but there were still one or two failures.

However, it didn't affect their full stomachs.

Xie Xiao still carried two bags, inside were snacks she had taken a few bites of but didn't finish.

And he was also too full to eat any more.

Luo Yanran was holding a cup of milk tea in her hand.

At that moment, she burped, "I'm so full, so full, I feel like my belly is sticking out."

Xie Xiao glanced at her flat belly, "Where's the belly? You're too thin."

Luo Yanran pulled his hand over to her belly, "Feel it."

Xie Xiao felt around a couple of times, "No fat."

Luo Yanran was amused by his antics.

Finally, the two of them started laughing foolishly at each other.

Zhou Mianmian stood not far away watching them.

Xie Xiao's face was very familiar to her.

Over the years, she had always dreamed of Xie Xiao, the dreams were of those years when he had treated her the best.

The young man inside had a radiant smile and gentle eyes, just like now.

But in her dream, it was she who was gazed at tenderly, yet now it was another woman who received his gentle gaze.

She felt somewhat torn inside.

At that moment, her roommate called out to her, "Mianmian, what are you looking at?"

Speaking that, she followed Mianmian's gaze, then exclaimed, "This couple looks so good together."

Zhou Mianmian forced a smile, "Really?"

"Yes, look how well-matched they are!" her roommate said cheerfully. "That girl is also really beautiful—she looks mixed, doesn't she? And the guy is both tall and handsome, a perfect match."

Zhou Mianmian hummed in agreement and said simply, "Well-matched."

Then she turned to her roommate, "Are you done shopping? Let's go."

Xie Xiao, who was talking to Luo Yanran, always felt a gaze on him and turned his head to look, just in time to see Zhou Mianmian turning to leave.

He paused for a moment, then squeezed Luo Yanran's hand, "Is that Zhou Mianmian?"

Luo Yanran also turned to look and saw Zhou Mianmian's retreating figure. Having just met her not long ago, she recognized her at a glance.

"It's her. I didn't expect to meet her here."

It was strange, she used to think City B was so big, but now it seemed like they could bump into each other just by turning around.

She looked at Xie Xiao, "Should we go say hi?"

Xie Xiao gave her a puzzled look, "Why should we greet her when we're not even close?"

After that, he took her hand and continued walking forward, "Are you full? Should we go watch a movie this afternoon or go home?"

Luo Yanran smiled, "Can we watch a movie at home?"

"We can, but didn't you just say you wanted to eat popcorn from the cinema? There won't be any if we go home..."

"Then let's go upstairs and buy some popcorn first and then head home..."

"Ugh, fine, but you can't start complaining that it's gone soft later, acting like a kid..."

"I won't..."

Luo Yanran couldn't help but turn back for one more glance, but Zhou Mianmian's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Their paths diverged, just as their lives had completely diverged starting from that year in high school.

The current Zhou Mianmian wanted nothing to do with them.

Luo Yanran glanced at Xie Xiao, who was busy replying to a message.

And now, they also wanted nothing to do with her.

Their lives were completely different now.

The current Zhou Mianmian was no longer a thorn in Luo Yanran's side, but someone she could comfortably refer to as her "school junior."

Just a school junior—the tangled relationships among the three of them had actually ended back in that year of the college entrance exams,

Luo Yanran had not really been magnanimous—she had still been harboring those feelings in her heart for so many years.

It wasn't until she met Zhou Mianmian again that she finally let go of the long-held feelings in her heart.

Because of Xie Xiao's attitude, and because of Zhou Mianmian's attitude.

So Luo Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, and a ray of light finally pierced through that dark corner of her heart.

The insecure Luo Yanran had finally stepped out.

After finishing his message, Xie Xiao discovered her staring and smiling at him, "What? Realized how handsome your husband is?"

"No, I've just noticed your skin's getting thicker," Luo Yanran shifted her gaze away but then admitted, "But handsome is right."

She confirmed it with a nod of her head.

Xie Xiao seriously said, "No wonder Liu Ou says you're a bit lovesick… Is it true?"

"Don't you like it?" Luo Yanran looked at him discontentedly, as if ready to pounce and bite if he said no.

Xie Xiao quickly replied, "How could I not? I really like it!"

With that, he leaned in to plant a quick kiss on her face, "Always be lovesick for me, okay? Please~"

His eyes were smiling, his tone teasingly sweet.

Luo Yanran thought that she would probably be lovesick for Xie Xiao for a lifetime.

Really, Luo Yanran could never not love Xie Xiao.
