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

Xie Xiao looked at Luo Yanran in front of him, who was seriously looking at him.

Honestly, deep in her eyes, there was also a hint of unease.

Xie Xiao smiled, reached out to take the book from her hand, and walked toward the cashier, "Is this a gift from your dad? Why don't you want it?"

Luo Yanran honestly said, "Because I want to live with you. If you think it's awkward, then never mind, I'll tell my dad not to buy it."

Xie Xiao's steps halted, utterly unable to deal with such a direct girlfriend.

Seeing him suddenly stop, Luo Yanran also stopped, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just that I can't really handle the way you talk to me," Xie Xiao said in a tone of resignation mixed with frankness.

Looking at her, her face filled with surprise.

"Is this what you call being straightforward? Do you want to live together with me?" His tone wasn't teasing or playful; it was very serious.

Xie Xiao didn't wait for her to reply before he smiled, "I want that too. Since your father wants to give it to you, then you should keep it, and we can live together. I'll take care of the utilities and bills."

He spoke earnestly, "Ranran, there's actually quite a big gap between your family's circumstances and mine, but I will work hard, although these words might sound empty now."

Xie Xiao took her hand, his voice gentle, "But I still want to say that I have always been striving for our future."

Step by step, seriously making my way forward, the future waiting for me is to marry you.

The bookstore was always quiet, and the people inside hardly ever seemed in a hurry.

Everyone carefully selected the books they wanted and then paid for them.

Finally, they either walked out with their books or found a place to sit down and read in peace.

Actually, Xie Xiao felt it was quite like a relationship, with only two outcomes: either going separate ways or spending a lifetime together.

But ever since Xie Xiao came back to life, the first person he laid eyes on was Luo Yanran.

He knew that there was only one end for him, he would definitely marry Ranran.

If Ranran didn't like him, then he would pursue her.

If she did, then he would treat her well.

This was something Xie Xiao had decided since he was reborn.

His rebirth was a secret.

Wanting to spend a lifetime with Luo Yanran was also kind of a secret of his, but at this moment, he didn't mind sharing this not-so-secret secret with her.

Luo Yanran looked at the boy in front of her, seriously talking about their future.

Actually, he was wrong, saying that these things sounded empty now.

Such earnest talk of the future or family might seem unreliable and hollow to parents at this age.

But for a girl in love, this was already a very good, very heartwarming confession.

Beyond anything else, it was moving.

No matter what they would become in the future, at this moment, he was seriously considering their future.

And the person in front of her was Xie Xiao.

His family background wasn't as poor as he had described, with parents who were doctors and teachers.

He himself was also quite outstanding, if it weren't for their age and what lay before them.

Even if Xie Xiao was to go home with her now, Luo Yanran believed her parents would like him too.

At the moment, she didn't express how touched she was, instead, she smiled and said, "Okay then, we'll work hard together."

If we're going to walk down this path together, then let's both work hard toward a further future.

"But I need to correct you, your family is already quite outstanding."

Luo Yanran said in a soft voice, "My dad actually has a lot of respect for doctors and teachers. I heard that he wanted to study medicine in the past, but my grandmother hoped he would take over the family business..."

Now that I think about it, it's just a short sentence, but my dad must have gone through his own struggles and compromises, right?

Luo Yanran suddenly remembered her father's expression when he found out she had gained admission; it was indecipherable, a mixture of relief and perhaps disappointment.

All he said was, "Let me know when the admission notice arrives."

But the next day, he started arranging to buy her a house.

If you don't think about it carefully, or if you're not paying attention, it's very easy to overlook this kind of silent love from your parents.

Luo Yanran's mood suddenly lifted a bit, her parents loved her more than she had imagined.

Xie Xiao, holding her hand after they had bought the books, asked as they walked out, "What shall we have for lunch?"

"I want to have that pickled fish," Luo Yanran mentioned, getting a bit excited, "I heard from the class group that it's really tasty."

Xie Xiao nodded, "Then let's go have it."

The plan was already set, to watch a movie after lunch.

Well, then maybe go to a hotel or go shopping and then to a hotel.

But at this time, they both were carrying books, which probably made shopping inconvenient.

Xie Xiao couldn't help but swallow at the thought of the hotel.

And right at that moment, Luo Yanran also thought of the hotel, glanced at the books in his hand, and hesitantly asked, "...Is the hotel far? Should we go back and drop off the books first if it's not?"

Xie Xiao thought it must be the hot weather, definitely not because he was letting his thoughts run wild.

After a few seconds of silence, he said, "It's a bit of a distance, we'll need to take a taxi."

If they went back now, it would probably be hard to leave again.

Luo Yanran nodded, "Then I'll help you carry some."

Xie Xiao dodged her hand, "It's not heavy, just take care of holding onto me."

Luo Yanran looked at his outstretched hand.

She couldn't help but smile, reaching out to take it.

The young man's dry palm gently wrapped around hers.

It was reassuring.

After the meal, Luo Yanran started to offer to pay again.

Then Xie Xiao blocked her with one sentence, "Don't, Ranran has to save up to support me, let me take care of this little expense."

He said with a smile, then went ahead and paid with a scan of his phone.

Luo Yanran blinked, "Does that mean I'll just provide a house in the future? You'll take care of everything else? That's not okay."

Her tone was firm.

Xie Xiao glanced at her, "So, you'll do the grocery shopping when we occasionally cook at home?"

His tone was both playful and suggestive.

The words he spoke made one's heart race with thoughts of the future.

Luo Yanran took a deep breath and said softly, "I'll support you, I'm really looking forward to living together with you."

They were like two fledgling birds about to leave the nest; though there was reluctance and fear, there was even more anticipation for the sky beyond.

Xie Xiao looked at her earnest expression, pulled her hand closer, and kissed it, "Me too."

Now all that was left was waiting for the college admission notices to arrive.

But before going to school, Xie Xiao clearly had something else on his mind.

It wasn't his fault that he was consumed with thoughts; after all, he was a young man who had just begun to taste the fruits of love.

At the age of eighteen or nineteen.

That's hard to control.

So, when they watched the movie, Xie Xiao spent more time looking at Luo Yanran.

The movie wasn't as captivating as she was.

And he couldn't help but remember the time before they got together when he went to the movies with Lin Yu and the others.

How shamelessly he had acted the rogue.

Thinking back to that scene, Xie Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

Then Luo Yanran, who seemed to be seriously watching the movie, suddenly turned to look at him and whispered, "Do I look good?"

Xie Xiao's gaze was too obvious, and Luo Yanran found it hard to ignore.

So, in the flickering light of the movie, Luo Yanran saw the clear smile at the corner of his mouth.
