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

Old Xie rarely had such a conversation with Xie Xiao, and the result was that it made Xie Xiao even more sentimental.

In the evening, she opened a video call with Luo Yanran in her room.

Luo Yanran had just finished taking a bath, wearing a camisole nightgown.

In the past, she would have been shy, always dressing quite conservatively.

But now that everything that should and shouldn't have been done has been done, she no longer had any reservations.

In her hand, she was holding a cup of milk that her aunt had just brought over.

Xie Xiao watched her approach and then sit down.

His gaze swept from her face to the cup of milk, "Do you need to drink milk every day?"

"Pretty much. I've been drinking it since I was little, and auntie warms it up for me every day." She muttered softly, and reached up to touch her face, "Did I gain a lot of weight?"

She felt that without the pressure of studying, people tend to gain weight easily.

She had gained three pounds when she weighed herself yesterday and had explicitly told her aunt that she wanted to lose weight.

But the aunt said she was too thin.

That same evening, her mom called to talk about how painful dieting is...

The day after Luo Yanran had finished her exams with the second-highest scores, Mother Luo flew away again.

She was truly busy, so it was rare for her to have spent these few days with Luo Yanran.

Lately, Father Luo has been staying at home, however.

That evening, father and daughter even had dinner together. At the table, Father Luo asked if she wasn't eating much because the food wasn't to her liking.

Then the aunt tattled on her.

At this moment, Luo Yanran said, "My dad just sent me an academic report on the dangers of dieting. Oh my god, the last time we texted was half a year ago."

Then Luo Yanran replied dryly with a thanks to her dad.

Xie Xiao laughed upon hearing this. Although she complained with her words, her eyes were clearly filled with laughter.

His Ranran enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by her parents.

However, Xie Xiao was honest, "You are definitely not fat. Don't diet. I used to feel you were too thin. I could feel your bones when I hugged you."

As he spoke, he seemed to recall certain images, and his Adam's apple bobbed, "I could hold you..."

Luo Yanran's face instantly turned red, "Hey, what are you thinking about! What's on your mind?"

Xie Xiao said with a smile, "I'm thinking about seeing you tomorrow. We are going to spend the whole day together. I've booked the hotel, and you promised to dance."

Xie Xiao watched her blushing shyly and thought it was cute, so very cute.

So he continued to tease her, "Miss Luo hasn't forgotten, right?"

"I haven't!" Luo Yanran fanned herself and whispered, "I told my aunt and dad that I would be staying at Hai Ou's house tomorrow."

And Liu Ou himself was still traveling.

But a good student lying didn't really seem to raise any suspicions.

Yet Luo Yanran still felt a bit guilty; she had hardly ever lied to her family.

Even now, she had a guilty look on her face as she mentioned it.

Xie Xiao, seeing this good child rarely lying and looking all red-faced while doing so, felt somewhat pity, "It's okay. After the dance, we can go back."

Although he did want to do something, since after their first time together, the two of them never had the chance to... do certain shy things.

Even before the results came out, they had met a few times, but it was all normal activities like eating out and watching movies.

After the results, they couldn't even meet face to face.

Xie Xiao's scores were good, and his family relations had always been pleasant. Lately, it felt like Old Xie had spent quite a bit of money taking people out for meals.

And he was still jovial about it.

Upon hearing Xie Xiao's words, Luo Yanran blinked and looking at Xie Xiao, she asked in a drawn-out tone, "Really???"

Xie Xiao was silent for thirty seconds, or was it a minute?

At any rate, he saw Luo Yanran smile.

Xie Xiao sighed and said in defeat, "Actually, it's not true. I really miss you."

What he thought, he left for himself to ponder deeply.

Luo Yanran watched him with a smile, "So, see you tomorrow? I'm going to bed now."

Xie Xiao nodded, "Then goodnight, wife."

The one called wife left a dry goodnight in response and then hung up the video call with a blushing face.

Xie Xiao, holding his somewhat hot phone, just smiled.

It felt like he didn't need to sleep tonight.

His mind was filled with thoughts of tomorrow.

Xie Xiao sighed. Great, bringing up that topic was no help at all. How would he get any sleep tonight?

And he was really curious, what dance would Teacher Luo Yan perform tomorrow?

Luo Yanran was also awake at that time.

After hanging up the phone, she finished her milk.

Then she sat on the bed for a while but eventually stood up and opened her wardrobe.

There were actually a lot of clothes inside.

Many of them were new, brought by her mother during her last visit.

However, Luo Yanran reached straight for a box in the bottom drawer.

She had bought it a long time ago, but did she really want to wear it?

In the end, she blushed without even opening the box and quickly stuffed it back.

No, she couldn't get over it mentally.

Luo Yanran sighed softly to herself.

Eventually, she went over to her desk, opened the drawer, and there lay a small box.

It was the birthday gift she had prepared for Xie Xiao.

She hoped he would like it.

Luo Yanran opened the box and looked at its contents with tenderness in her eyes.

In the end, she decided not to think about anything and just went to bed to sleep.

...

Xie Xiao woke up very early the next day, as he couldn't sleep much anyway, and besides, he had things on his mind.

The flower shop was right at the entrance to the residential complex.

He had specifically mentioned he might need it quite early.

And the shop owner opened early.

Still, the owner was surprised to see Xie Xiao arrive at 5:30 am, "This early?"

"Yes, sorry to make you open up so early," Xie Xiao apologized.

The owner shook his head with a smile, "No problem, I had to prepare some opening celebration baskets anyway, and I needed to open early. Here, your flowers are ready."

A large beautiful bunch of carnations was brought out by the owner.

After thanking the owner again, Xie Xiao took the flowers back with him.

Dr. Yang usually got up at six-thirty in the morning, so he had time to make her breakfast now that he was back.

He placed the lovely flowers and the small gift box on the table.

Yang Lan was awakened by the faint sounds from outside.

But it was about time to get up anyway.

She listened and was sure she wasn't mistaken.

The sounds were coming from outside.

She patted her husband beside her and then got up to head for the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she smelled the aroma of food.

She looked towards the kitchen, and just as Xie Xiao heard her and turned around,

he was holding a bowl of porridge.

Xie Xiao revealed a smile, "Mom, you're awake?"

Xie Xiao came out of the kitchen.

He placed the porridge on the table and then, holding the flowers, approached Yang Lan, "Mom, it's my birthday today. Thank you for your hard work."

Yang Lan was momentarily stunned before responding, taking the flowers from his hand as if she didn't know what to say for a moment, "No, it's just... you, this child..."

Xie Qingxiao came out of the bedroom and was briefly startled at the scene,

then laughed, "A surprise attack, huh?"

Xie Xiao nodded with a smile, "A surprise!"

"You cooked as well?"

"Yes. I prepared it especially for my mom..."

Yang Lan let out a sigh, "I need to wash my face. I can't let my son's early morning efforts go to waste. Wait for me."

Then she turned and went back inside, holding the flowers.

Xie Qingxiao looked at his son in front of him, "Not bad, kiddo."
