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

Luo Yanran's heartbeat was still fast. She reached out and touched the ring, which Xie Xiao had given her,

even if it was a grass ring, she would like it.

Xie Xiao, looking at her with tender eyes full of warmth, took her hand, "I made the ring myself, went and learned from a master. It was quite easy to learn, definitely not as difficult as the pendant you gave me. It's not worth much, but in the future, I'll give you more that are worth a lot."

"It's very precious," Luo Yanran said softly, her voice filled with joy,

Xie Xiao turned to look at her.

Her eyes, under the streetlight, appeared especially beautiful and brimming with moisture, "The affection of a young man is the most valuable, and it's likely hard to come by in the future."

At different ages, the state of mind is different.

At least Luo Yanran knew that when Xie Xiao was making this ring, his love for her must have been full to the brim, spilling over with no place to rest.

So she cherished it.

Xie Xiao smiled and sighed, "Silly girl."

No matter what, after sending Teacher Xie and Doctor Yang away the next day.

The two had not finished exploring the campus yet.

The military training began on the third day.

All of Xie Xiao's roommates had arrived.

Each of them was pretty scholarly, just like Xie Qingxiao had described.

And each had excellent grades.

Xie Xiao originally thought his own grades were okay, but compared to two top scholars and one ranked second in the province, his really didn't stack up.

He smiled and said, "So why are all the top scholars in our dorm? Am I just here to make up the numbers?"

Since they were boys of similar age, they got to know each other really fast.

Shen Jun'an, who was not a top scholar like Xie Xiao, also sighed and pushed his glasses up, "I am somewhat hurt."

He glanced at Xie Xiao, "At least you are the most handsome, while I have nothing going for me."

Lu Ci, with a bit of a baby face and looking younger, laughed and said, "It's fine, have you seen my height? I swapped my height for intelligence. If you think of it this way, doesn't it feel a bit better?"

He was only 175 cm tall, indeed not quite impressive among three roommates all over 180 cm.

But he spoke frankly, not embarrassed at all, and even mentioned his parents were merely over 160 cm, so his height was a result of his effort.

At this moment, Xie Xiao and the others gave a good-natured laugh upon hearing his words.

Qi Yan, obviously from a well-off family, good-looking, and with a face full of self-adoration, said, "Ah, only I am the favorite of the heavens, handsome, wealthy, and clever. To ensure you don't ostracize me in the future, let me treat you to dinner tonight."

He spoke with a laugh in his voice, clearly joking.

Xie Xiao breathed a sigh of relief inside, glad that his college roommates seemed to be nice people.

On the first night, everyone was eager to build a rapport, and they spoke quite freely.

Xie Xiao told Luo Yanran that he was having dinner with his roommates that night.

She replied with an emoji pack, Zhang Fei's "I'm the same!"

Xie Xiao wanted to laugh every time he saw it; such a pretty little girl, why did she always like these weird emojis,

As they were about to head out together.

Qi Yan casually remarked, "I'll tell you, I came to study finance because of a girl I like, who is one year older and also in this major. I came here for her, so what if I'm a bit young and handsome? Other things aren't small either! But she rejected me!"

Qi Yan sounded a bit sad, "Considering you all look like good students, you probably don't have girlfriends, right?"

Then both Xie Xiao and Shen Jun'an said at the same time, "We do!"

And then the two exchanged a glance.

Lu Ci couldn't help but tease, "So, are you guys saying you didn't get top scholar because you were dating?"

"No, that's not it; I genuinely didn't make the grade," Xie Xiao said with a smile, "I'm not that impressive."

Shen Jun'an laughed a little, "My girlfriend is the top scholar of our class."

As he spoke, he pushed up his glasses, his eyes smiling, yet unable to hide his pride.

The other three fell silent.

Xie Xiao took a deep breath, "Jun'an, why don't you foot the bill for this meal?"

Qi Yan was not having it, "You pay for it! I won't!"

Although that was said, in the end, Xie Xiao paid for the meal.

Only because he said leisurely as everyone scrambled to pay, "I forgot to mention, my girlfriend is also at our school."

So no one else grabbed the check, and Xie Xiao ended up paying under everyone's speechless gazes.

On the way back, Qi Yan was still texting some upperclassman, muttering to himself, "I must get myself a girlfriend this semester!"

Xie Xiao just smiled; he understood his roommates all too well.

The next day military training began.

Different schools had their military training in different locations.

Surprisingly, Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran hadn't seen each other for three days since military training started.

He was feeling a bit down about it during lunch that day and let out a sigh.

Lu Ci glanced at him, "What are you sighing for?"

"Nothing, I just miss my girlfriend. We're at the same school and haven't seen each other for three days, and my girlfriend is really beautiful," Xie Xiao explained seriously, "I'm afraid some blind guy might try to flirt with my girl."

Even the upperclassman Qi Yan was texting glanced over at him.

At first, they thought he was just showing off his relationship.

But after giving it some thought, they realized it was indeed quite sad.

Shen Jun'an sighed, "It's a good thing my girlfriend is from another school. She's coming to see me tomorrow."

It was a kind of boasting that didn't care about others' feelings.

Over the past few days, Xie Xiao had figured out that this guy was a sly one.

He looked harmless but often caught you off guard with an explosive comment.

Xie Xiao rolled his eyes and took out his phone to send a message to Luo Yanran, [Miss Luo, they're all bullying me because we can't even see each other at the same school.]

A consoling emoji was sent from the other side.

Xie Xiao felt a bit better.

In his heart, though, he was thinking he'd need to find an opportunity to take a break to see Miss Luo.

He really thought about it.

But what he hadn't anticipated was that he wouldn't have to look for Luo Yanran.

Because she came to him.

Evening assemblies were more for rest or to sing songs and socialize with the neighboring troops.

Xie Xiao had planned to ask for leave tomorrow night.

At this time, some seniors would usually come over to watch them.

To mock their juniors a little and then reminisce about their own youth.

The male to female ratio in Xie Xiao's class was skewed towards more males than females, so the few girls often received some preferential treatment.

One of the girls seemed to have taken a liking to Xie Xiao on the first day of military training, and even added his WeChat from the class group afterwards.

During the assembly that evening, they suddenly heard the instructor say, "The girl in the second row from the left, what are you looking at?"

The girl's voice rang out clearly, "Reporting to the instructor, looking at a handsome guy!"

A few chuckles came from the crowd.

It wasn't an official training session.

The instructor, not much older himself, simply laughed and asked, "Then, which handsome guy are you looking at?"

Laughter erupted from the class group.

Shen Jun'an nudged Xie Xiao, "It seems like it's He Xiuxiu."

He Xiuxiu was the girl who was interested in Xie Xiao.

Sure enough, He Xiuxiu said out loud, "Looking at Xie Xiao, of course!"

The teasing got even louder.

The instructor, chuckling, called out, "Xie Xiao, step forward."

Xie Xiao sighed and could only step forward.

Then he heard the instructor ask, "Does Xie Xiao have a girlfriend?"

It wasn't just their class; the classes next to them also started to join in the teasing.

The crowd was noisy.

Xie Xiao felt somewhat helpless.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a familiar voice come from behind the instructor, "Reporting to the instructor, he already has a girlfriend!"
