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

The two of them actually ended up going to the movie theater upstairs to buy popcorn.

Sometimes Xie Xiao felt that the world was really quite small.

Otherwise, why would two people heading in different directions still run into each other?

Zhou Mianmian was also stunned when she saw them, standing there uncertain of what to do.

She quickly glanced at Xie Xiao, and then unconsciously lowered her head.

In front of Xie Xiao, there was always a feeling of not daring to look up.

She only felt this way in front of Xie Xiao.

She didn't dare to look longer, for the longer she looked, the more she couldn't help but think, "Why? He used to be her Xie Xiao. How wonderful it would have been if she had stayed with him..."

In the past, when she was less mature, she thought such thoughts were justified, but now even having these thoughts made her feel ashamed.

After all, she had grown up.

But upon seeing the outstanding boy before her, although she tried hard to control herself,

she still felt aggrieved and wanted to be with him.

You won't feel anything for what you've never had, but she really had enjoyed his kindness and tenderness toward her.

So even with the effort to control herself, she still longed for it.

Seeing Zhou Mianmian lower her head as if she didn't want to greet them, Xie Xiao took Luo Yanran's hand and said in a low voice, "Let's go buy popcorn."

Luo Yanran initially thought that since they had met and made eye contact, it would be awkward not to say hello.

But seeing Xie Xiao's suggestion, she paused for a second and then nodded, "Let's go then."

Now Xie Xiao and Zhou Mianmian seemed like strangers.

Zhou Mianmian might still feel a little awkward, but Luo Yanran knew that Xie Xiao's attitude was very natural.

He truly treated Zhou Mianmian as a stranger now.

Luo Yanran was taken by Xie Xiao to buy popcorn.

She just wanted to eat the popcorn from the movie theater but didn't want to watch a movie there.

This quirk sounded quite strange.

But Xie Xiao always indulged her unconditionally.

Every time he would go to the nearby theater to buy it for her, then at home, he wouldn't get upset even when she complained that the popcorn had gone soft.

This time was no different.

Luo Yanran's eyes were filled with a tender smile. She turned to glance back, but the figure of Zhou Mianmian had already disappeared.

On the way back, Xie Xiao didn't mention Zhou Mianmian, as though he really had just passed a stranger.

"Lin Yu is getting ready to go abroad; I need to see him off," said Xie Xiao, followed by a sigh, "It's November already..."

Once Lin Yu left, he'd be gone for three or four years, and although he theoretically could come back,

everyone knew that medical students were busy, especially those going abroad for exchanges; they were even busier.

Luo Yanran was also startled, "Wasn't it said to be in November?"

She took out her phone and checked the time, realizing that it indeed was already November.

She thought, Hai Ou must have started to feel secretly upset in her heart.

And she herself had been too busy lately to pay much attention to her.

In fact, Liu Ou's sadness was inevitable, but it wasn't as severe as Luo Yan thought.

Lin Yu was set to leave for study abroad in a week.

The matter of Liu Ou's studio's two bosses planning to split had ceased to be a secret.

So she was quite relieved, as she had already sided with An Ji.

As for the junior girl who was frantically pursuing Lin Yu, she had finally calmed down.

Today was a rare day when Lin Yu wasn't conducting experiments, so the two of them had been affectionately lingering at home together since morning.

Liu Ou checked her phone, "My parents said they want us to come home for dinner in a couple of days."

Although today was Saturday, Liu Ou was supposed to work overtime. She didn't expect that the client had a last-minute matter and couldn't make it, which is why she had time off.

Otherwise, I could have gone back today.

Lin Yu hummed in agreement, "Okay, I don't have classes next week."

Liu Ou nodded, "That's perfect. I'll take a couple of days off, and we'll go back and keep Grandma company."

Mentioning Grandma, Lin Yu sighed softly, "Grandma, it's just a lot of trouble for you guys to take care of..."

After all, he was worried about the old lady, but before he could finish his sentence, Liu Ou pinched him.

Then she said fiercely, "If you say that again, I'll get angry!"

Lin Yu was amused by her fierce look and couldn't help laughing.

He reached out to pull her hand down, "I'm sorry, I won't say it again. It's your duty to take care of Grandma, after all, who else would do it if not my wife, right?"

Thinking of this, he remembered that the custom-made ring had arrived two days ago, but he hadn't found the opportunity to give it to her.

The scene of Xie Xiao's marriage proposal was made quite grand.

Lin Yu had thought about it, but he also remembered that when he saw the proposal scene, he took the chance to ask Liu Ou, "Do you envy them?"

But she said, "I don't like that kind of thing. I prefer, um, how should I put it, a private space, a sudden surprise when it's just the two of us..."

She didn't elaborate, but then, seemingly having a realization, she asked him with a smile, "Why? Are you planning to propose too?"

Back then, Lin Yu hadn't planned on proposing yet.

But now everything was ready.

He reached out and stroked Liu Ou's head, "I'm going to the restroom."

Liu Ou let out a sound, "Then grab me some yogurt on the way."

Lin Yu was somewhat amused, "Do the bathroom and kitchen look like they're on the same route to you?"

Liu Ou said with a laugh, "Doesn't matter, it's on the way now."

Lin Yu sighed, nodded, "Alright, on the way."

Then he turned and went in.

Liu Ou glanced over, "How come you're even going to the bedroom to use the bathroom..."

But she didn't dwell on it much and took out her phone to reply to Luo Yanran's messages.

It was clear that her best friend was even more anxious and worried than she was.

Liu Ou actually knew that everyone around her was probably worried about Lin Yu leaving.

Asked if she was worried? Of course, she was worried.

But what could worrying do? She couldn't stop Lin Yu from leaving, nor could she go with him.

That's just the reality, so all she could do was try her best to adjust herself and then tell everyone not to worry.

They would always be fine.

Otherwise, everyone would be worried together, and Lin Yu wouldn't be able to leave with a peaceful mind either.

Looking at the ring on her finger, at least they were tied together now, right?

Even though she was the one who had initiated it, the process didn't matter, the outcome was what was most important.

As she was thinking, her phone vibrated. It was a video call from Luo Yanran.

Luo Yanran, still worried about Liu Ou after returning home, couldn't help but send a message.

Knowing she was home alone, she made the video call.

As soon as it connected and she saw Liu Ou was by herself, she felt even more distressed, "Are you home alone?"

Liu Ou shook her head, "No, Lin Yu is also here, he's just in the restroom. Why aren't you two going out on a date?"

Xie Xiao appeared behind Luo Yanran, smiling, "We just came back from a date."

Liu Ou teased them, "You two are so sweet, always so lovey-dovey every day."

Xie Xiao placed the popcorn in front of Luo Yanran, then picked up a stand meant for live streaming and propped up her phone, "As if you and Lin Yu don't get lovey-dovey every day too..."

He was cut off before finishing his sentence as Luo Yanran secretly tugged at his trousers.

Xie Xiao turned to look at her and noticing her signaling, glanced at the phone.
