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

"Damn! I'm so jealous!" Qi Yan sighed, placing his arm on Lu Ci's shoulder and pushing Xie Xiao with his hand, "Beat it!"

Even Shen Jun'an let out a sigh, "Although I have a girlfriend, I'm feeling a bit jealous right now!"

After all, his girlfriend wasn't at the same school and couldn't meet him after class.

Feeling sour.

Xie Xiao took a couple of steps forward with the push from Qi Yan, a look of pleasant surprise on his face.

He didn't look back, just waved his hand behind him.

He also had a backpack on, with today's books still inside.

He just didn't want to make an extra trip to the dormitory.

He walked up to Luo Yanran and naturally reached out to take the backpack from her, "Waited long?"

Luo Yanran didn't let go, "I'm fine on my own, didn't wait too long. I arrived just in time."

In the end, it was Xie Xiao who was carrying one backpack in his hand and another on his back, with the other hand holding Luo Yanran's as they walked out.

Luo Yanran took out her phone to call a cab.

This scene was captured on someone's phone.

And then it was posted on the school forum.

The title was: I can't be the only one eating dog food! That freshman couple from military training is really sweet! Heard they were high school classmates too!

But the young couple knew nothing about it.

This was also their first visit to the small apartment.

Since it was still early, the two thought about checking it out and considered ordering takeout for lunch.

Then in the afternoon, they could go shopping and start decorating the place themselves.

The word "home" made Xie Xiao's mouth twitch into a smile unknowingly.

His and Luo Yanran's home.

It was the goal he was striving for in the short term.

It took the pair a while to get into the complex as it was their first time there.

The apartment was in Building 9, Floor 8.

While going up the elevator, Luo Yanran quietly complained to Xie Xiao, "I guess it's my dad's old habit of being a businessman; he really likes anything with an 8 in it. If Building 8 hadn't sold out, he probably would've bought an apartment on Floor 8 of Building 8."

Xie Xiao just looked at her animated expression and smiled.

He reached out to ruffle her hair, "Isn't that good? It's auspicious."

"My mom calls it tacky," Luo Yanran said seriously. "I feel like I have no right to judge. It's bought for me, after all."

Xie Xiao laughed outright.

When they reached the eighth floor, since it was a studio apartment, it wasn't very large, and there were five rooms on the floor.

Luo Yanran's was 803.

It was their first visit and they hadn't registered their fingerprints, so they used a key to open it.

The apartment was well-furnished, and upon entering, they were greeted by a young girl's fairy tale decor.

Whether it was the lacy bay window or the cute, pink cushions on the sofa.

But undeniably, Xie Xiao thought it was quite cute.

Luo Yanran, however, was stunned for a moment, "My God, I'm now on my mother's side. My dad's taste is unbelievable."

Her voice was lacking in energy, "Does he still treat me as a child?"

When she opened the shoe cabinet and saw the pink slippers, she was certain her father really did treat her like a child.

Xie Xiao couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Uncle is pretty cute."

Luo Yanran handed him a pair of disposable slippers with a sigh, "I forgot to tell my dad not to bother with these. Later, I want to buy matching ones with you."

Matching slippers, pajamas, toothbrushes—all were on Luo Yanran's prepared shopping list.

After Xie Xiao changed his shoes, he led her inside, "Uncle doesn't even know me. Otherwise, he might have prepared a pair..."

Xie Xiao paused for a moment, "Suddenly, I feel like a bad guy who's seduced a young girl."

Luo Yanran was amused by his comment.

They took a quick look around the apartment, a studio with a kitchen and dining area included.

Though the sparrow is small, all its vital organs are present.

It's actually pretty nice.

And Luo's father had everything basic prepared.

There's not much they need to buy.

When Xie Xiao opened the refrigerator, he even saw fruits and vegetables inside.

He was somewhat surprised.

Luo Yanran also saw it, "My dad asked me before if I was going back home for the National Day. I said I wouldn't and wanted to come see the apartment, so he must have had someone prepare it."

At this moment, Xie Xiao felt as if he truly had a lady of high status as a girlfriend, didn't he?

This was a plotline he had never encountered in real life, although he had seen it on TV.

But he was a bit worried about another issue, "Will anyone come over?"

After all, it would be pretty embarrassing if someone saw him.

"They probably won't." Luo Yanran pointed to the keys on the shoe cabinet as she spoke, "The person left after dropping off the keys."

Xie Xiao suddenly embraced her, his voice laced with helplessness, "What should I do? The pressure just got even bigger~"

Luo Yanran did not understand, "Why is there more pressure?"

"Because your family gives you so much, I hope that being with me isn't you settling, nor do I want to lower your living standards, so I have to work even harder." Xie Xiao's tone was light, but firm, "I hope you won't regret being with me."

"Of course not, we'll work hard together." Luo Yanran said and kissed him on the lips.

There was a smile in her eyes; she didn't say anything like you don't have to work too hard.

If a guy is willing to work hard for her, she thought the best thing she could do was to work hard with him, to keep up with his pace, and improve together.

Xie Xiao needed encouragement, not comfort.

The longer Luo Yanran was with Xie Xiao, the better she understood him.

So after she spoke, Xie Xiao also smiled.

Smiling, he said, "Good. So let's put in some effort for our lunch now?"

They had originally planned to go out to eat, but there was meat and vegetables in the refrigerator, weren't there?

Xie Xiao had originally thought that since there were meat and vegetables in the fridge, it probably meant that Luo Yanran knew how to cook,

He wasn't great at it, but he could help out and, later on, wash the dishes or something.

But he hadn't expected Luo Yanran to say innocently, "I don't know how to cook."

Xie Xiao: ...

"Neither do I... well, not that I can't, I can follow a recipe, but I can't guarantee it'll taste good." Xie Xiao honestly admitted.

Luo Yanran looked at him full of expectation.

Ultimately, the cooking was taken over by Xie Xiao, while Luo Yanran became the assistant.

Though Xie Xiao's cooking wasn't so great, it was definitely edible.

The two of them still had a joyful meal together.

Mainly because Luo Yanran was really supportive, the kind that would compliment while eating.

Xie Xiao had already heard her exclaim no less than thirty times, "Wow, Xie Xiao, you're really amazing~"

While his vanity was satisfied, he seriously looked at Luo Yanran and said, "Are you praising me so much because you want to avoid cooking in the future?"

Luo Yanran smiled sweetly at him, "Is that okay?"

Of course, it's okay.

He simply couldn't refuse the sweet compliments from the little Miss Luo.

Even though Miss Luo didn't cook, she was still very proactive about washing the dishes.

By the time she finished washing the dishes and came out, she saw Xie Xiao sitting on the couch waving to her, "Ranran, come here for a moment."

It was only when Luo Yanran walked over that she realized Xie Xiao was setting up a new account.

There were only two letters, "XX."

She asked, puzzled, "Are you creating a new account?"

"Yeah." Xie Xiao nodded, looking at her, "So tonight I'm going to live stream with Lin Yu, do you want to appear on camera?"
