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

Xie Xiao stared at his name crossed out several times, seemingly able to discern his own frantic state of mind from the somewhat disorganized strokes.

Xie Xiao decisively took a screenshot.

But instead of sending it immediately, he sent a message, "Teacher Luo, I'm stuck on the second major question and can't proceed, the solution process in the reference answer is abbreviated."

When Luo Yanran saw this message, she had already cleaned up her desk and was ready to wash up. Her hand movements stopped, somewhat surprised; this shouldn't be happening.

She opened her own paper; the second major question was a consolidation question, truly not difficult, and beyond Xie Xiao's level to be unable to solve.

She couldn't figure out whether he genuinely didn't understand it or was deliberately teasing her.

As if knowing her skepticism, Xie Xiao sent over his paper, where the handwriting, though usually nice, was now somewhat scrambled.

Next to it were his calculations done on the fly—wrong, too.

Luo Yanran didn't understand. She carefully reviewed Xie Xiao's calculation process and then realized he had calculated one number incorrectly, leading to mistakes in the entire rest of the process.

The conclusion: carelessness.

She sent over the complete process from her own paper, then circled the incorrectly calculated number on his paper and sent it back to him.

After a while, not hearing back from Xie Xiao, she guessed he had probably gone off to solve the problem and simply went ahead to wash up.

Xie Xiao had indeed gone to work on the question. No wonder it didn't come out right—he hadn't made a mistake in the process; it was his own small careless error.

Having written down the correct answer, Xie Xiao was satisfied. This time he used a different method of solving it, differing from Luo Yanran's.

Xie Xiao took a picture of his solution process and sent it over, "Thank you, Teacher Luo, for the guidance. I've learned to think out of the box, so is there a reward?"

A blatant display of shamelessness.

Sure enough, six dots came first from the other side, followed by the question, "What reward do you want?"

Xie Xiao outright laughed and replied, "Isn't that up to you, Teacher? I'd be happy even with a pat on the head."

After sending that, he just stared at the 'typing...' indicator.

For about six minutes.

The reply from the other side finally came, "It's getting late. You should sleep now. Goodnight."

Xie Xiao clicked his tongue. Was she implying that he could have anything he wanted in his dreams?

In the end, Xie Xiao could only send a goodnight in return.

After a stretch and getting up to move around, he finished the rest of the questions.

He even did an additional practice paper to reinforce the basics.

After finishing, he saw it was already past eleven forty.

With classes to attend the next day, Xie Xiao washed up and went to bed.

But whether it was the joy of going out on a date during the day or his own psychological suggestion being strong enough, he truly dreamed of everything...

Not only was there patting from Teacher Luo, but also hand-holding...

On that dazzlingly white skin, even a little redness was evident, and those beautiful eyes shimmered with moisture. Even though nothing had happened, it felt alluring...

When Xie Xiao abruptly awoke, his face was still a little red.

Daylight was already breaking through.

The bedroom was hot, probably because the underfloor heating had been on for too long.

Xie Xiao felt a lingering restlessness within his body.

He sat on the bed with his legs crossed for a few minutes to calm down.

Finally sighing, he went into the bathroom.

After coming out, he changed the sheets and washed them along with the clothes he'd taken off.

Xie Qingxiao was just stretching on the balcony when he saw his eldest son come out to hang clothes early in the morning, and he couldn't help but smile.

He sighed deliberately on purpose, "Ah, young people~"

After hanging the clothes, Xie Xiao glanced at him and said, "Oh, middle-aged people..."

After revealing a meaningful smile, he turned and went inside.

Xie Qingxiao: ...Although he said nothing, I can't shake the feeling that what he meant was 'how does it come to powerless middle-aged men'?

Xie Xiao got up early today and had breakfast before leaving the house, which was rare.

On the way, he even ran into Lin Yu on the bus.

Lin Yu still looked half asleep, which made Xie Xiao curious, "Not helping grandma at the stall today?"

Normally, he was someone who would arrive just on time, but today he was somewhat early.

"The old lady said she's taking a day off, not setting up the stall. It's pretty good; she's always so busy to no end." Lin Yu yawned, then it seemed he thought of something, "That senior Hai Ou absolutely refused to take money. What should I buy later to spend that thirty bucks? If she doesn't like it, isn't it a waste?"

"No, bro, her name is Liu Ou!" Xie Xiao said with some speechlessness but understood his concern.

Lin Yu really cared about money; he felt that if Liu Ou didn't like what he spent money on, it would be a waste.

"I'll ask Luo Yanran for you later," Xie Xiao said, securing a reason to flirt today.

But Lin Yu looked utterly confused, "I can just ask her myself, it's not like I don't have her WeChat."

Xie Xiao silently gave him a look, "Lin Yu... you really have no EQ!"

As they were talking, the bus suddenly braked hard, and the girl next to Xie Xiao was flung into his arms, pushing him towards Lin Yu.

He frowned slightly and pushed the girl's shoulders back a bit, "Be careful."

The girl's face turned bright red, and she quickly looked up at Xie Xiao, apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't manage to stand firm just now..."

Her companion let out a suggestive laugh.

Xie Xiao said it was no problem and stepped back, showing no further interest in conversation.

The girl bit her lip and stole a few glances at Xie Xiao.

Xie Xiao didn't notice because he saw that Lin Yu, this EQ-less dog, had already started privately chatting with Luo Yanran.

He was speechless and rolled his eyes.

After getting off the bus, he walked shoulder to shoulder with Lin Yu into the school gates, "Lin Yu ah..."

Just as he was about to criticize Lin Yu's waywardness, a female voice came from behind, "Senior Xie Xiao!"

Xie Xiao paused and turned to look, seeing the girl who had bumped into him running over with a bag in her hand. She reached Xie Xiao and awkwardly ran her hand through her hair.

Then, with her head lowered, she handed over the burger in her hand, "Thank you just now, senior. I'm Liu Sixuan from the eighth class of second grade, could I add your WeChat?"

Not really.

Xie Xiao was thinking about how to refuse without embarrassing the girl, but Lin Yu next to him spoke up, "No, girl, if you're going to offer a burger and ask for someone's WeChat after falling into a stranger's arms, doesn't that seem like they saved your life or something?"

Xie Xiao: ...Nicely done! That's Lin Yu for you.

Xie Xiao didn't take her burger and smiled, "Thank you, but I've already had breakfast, and just now I didn't really want to stay still; there was just too little space, otherwise I would have dodged. After all, being hit really hurts."

Biu, the follow-up hit was a success.

In the end, the young girl walked away with red-rimmed eyes.

Lin Yu looked at him curiously, "Not playing the nice guy anymore? You were all smiles even when Zhou Mianmian was mad before, but now nobody's upset and you're suddenly not playing the nice guy?"

Xie Xiao gave him a look and snorted.

Lin Yu didn't get it at all. Xie Xiao now had Teacher Luo Yan, so he had to remain pure and innocent.
