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

Luo Yanran glanced at him and smiled, "It's nothing."

Qi Yan was still there, so many things still had to be discussed behind closed doors.

Xie Xiao felt there was definitely something going on because he almost blew his cover and his heart was still beating a bit fast at the moment.

Although Qi Yan didn't have anything particular to do, he didn't plan to stay and be a third wheel, so he simply made an excuse and left.

After Qi Yan left, Xie Xiao didn't plan to go up either, he just held Luo Yanran's hand and pulled out his phone to check the time.

Luo Yanran noticed the battery was full.

But she remembered that Xie Xiao's mobile phone battery was at most half full when they left that morning.

And just now when they came back, he said he had been out meeting clients all day.

The doubt in Luo Yanran's heart grew heavier, but of course, it was also possible that he had charged it fully in the office before going out to see clients.

But what kind of client meeting requires taking a shower...

Forget it, Luo Yanran couldn't be bothered to guess; she went straight to the point, "Where did you go today?"

Xie Xiao was about to ask what they were going to eat tonight or whether they could go home and cook, as it was not too late yet.

But then Luo Yanran abruptly asked this question.

Xie Xiao hadn't yet recovered from the shock, but he still stuck to his earlier statement, "I went with Qi Yan to meet clients..."

When he looked into Luo Yanran's eyes, Xie Xiao suddenly couldn't continue speaking.

In the end, he sighed, "Okay, I didn't go to meet clients today, and there's something I can't tell you about yet..."

Seeing Luo Yanran frown, he quickly added, "But you'll find out very soon."

This is like a tragedy where one dies before achieving success! How miserable! A well-prepared surprise gets busted by your own wife!

But Xie Xiao felt he still needed to stay strong, he couldn't easily spill the beans, or there would be no surprise left!

Yet Luo Yanran suddenly said, "Are you preparing some kind of proposal surprise like the ones online?"

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled.

Even though Luo Yanran knew Xie Xiao was hiding something and found it strange that he had taken a shower outside, if she started suspecting, it all tended towards a not-so-good trend.

But Luo Yanran genuinely didn't let her thoughts drift elsewhere; she trusted Xie Xiao, as well as herself.

So, as she couldn't figure it out while also considering Xie Xiao's recent words, it had to be some kind of surprise, something she wasn't supposed to know, so it could only be something prepared for her.

But her birthday was still several months away.

Therefore, Luo Yanran could only guess it was a marriage proposal.

After all, not long ago, she had just mentioned rings.

Xie Xiao: ...

What kind of surprise was this? He had prepared for so long...

And it had to be today, of all days, that it got discovered!

He was going to propose tomorrow! It was going to be successful!

Xie Xiao's silence made Luo Yanran feel a bit sorry for him.

But at the same time, immense joy and happiness welled up in her heart.

She took the initiative to grab Xie Xiao's hand and said tenderly, "Alright, I won't ask anymore..."

After all, she had a rough idea by now, coupled with some anticipation and joy.

Xie Xiao sighed, "You've already guessed it, what's the point in asking? The more you ask, the less surprising it'll be."

He reached out and gently tapped on her nose, "What to do now, my wife is too clever, makes me seem foolish."

But Luo Yanran happily shook their joined hands gently, "I'm so happy~"

Looking at her bright eyes, Xie Xiao suddenly felt that maybe it wasn't so bad after all; knowing it beforehand was alright, letting her be happy in advance seemed nice too.

"Okay, I know you're happy, let's go, let's go home."

"Why didn't you just make up a lie to deceive me just now?"

"Because I don't want to," Xie Xiao's voice was very soft, "Although it's a little deflating to be guessed, I don't want to lie to you, nor do I want to make you sad. This was supposed to be a joyful occasion, so why make things topsy-turvy? Let's just say it's a chance to make you happy a little earlier, that's a good thing too, right?"

Xie Xiao's voice was very gentle, and so was he.

Luo Yanran looked at the corner of his mouth curving slightly, "Hmm, I really like you so much, Xie Xiao."

No matter how many times, your gentleness will win me over, I really like you, Xie Xiao.

Xie Xiao turned his head to look at her, moved a bit closer and kissed her on the lips, "I like you too, so don't reject me when I propose, I'm already getting nervous."

Luo Yanran deliberately prolonged her tone, "We'll see~~ A proposal, huh~~"

At this time, Lin Yu had just finished his class.

Today's class was not a regular school course but one given by the mentor responsible for the project he was working on, since it was Saturday.

Theoretically, he could have asked for leave, but he felt it was important, so he chose to stay.

Now he was in a rush to get to the airport.

Of course, before that, he wanted to see his lovely girlfriend.

Seeing him in a hurry, a senior in his research group caught up with him, "Why the rush, got something on?"

Lin Yu nodded, "Indeed, something urgent."

His voice was laced with a smile.

The senior was a bit surprised; since his freshman year, Lin Yu had been involved in research projects, and they were well acquainted with each other, and the teachers liked him too.

It was almost certain that if this guy were to pursue graduate studies, he'd choose the same mentor.

Seeing him like this, the senior guessed something, "Your girlfriend isn't making another visit, is she?"

The senior was a little envious; he knew Lin Yu had a girlfriend since the second semester of his freshman year, and by that time, Lin Yu had already started working on projects.

This guy was also a moderately famous blogger, with his fans in the school.

Occasionally, he'd see fans confessing their love to him, and some girls genuinely liked him and confessed too.

But he turned down every confession, saying he already had a girlfriend.

Yet, no one had ever seen her, just heard about her.

Many thought it was just an excuse because he didn't want to date.

But the senior remembered that day was also a Saturday.

They had been working on the project in the lab all morning, just discussing where to go for lunch.

Then they saw Lin Yu suddenly stand up, grab his phone, and run out, even leaving his lab coat behind.

The seniors and postgrads were startled, fearing something had happened, they hurriedly followed him out.

And then they saw their usually collected junior dash down the stairs.

Following him down, they saw him run up to a petite, cute girl and lift her into his arms.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

That was when they realized that it wasn't an excuse at all; Lin Yu really did have a girlfriend.

And she was a cute little girl.

After having lunch together a few times, they came to understand that the girl was not only cute but also had high emotional intelligence.

What mattered most was that Lin Yu really liked her.

When he was with her, his eyes never strayed from her.

It was the same at this moment, simply because his girlfriend had been mentioned.

A smile had already taken over his face uncontrollably.

The senior heard him say, "Yeah, my girlfriend's come."

Then the senior waved at him, watching him stride downstairs.

As soon as he got downstairs, Lin Yu saw Liu Ou standing under the tree opposite, looking up at something.

Then, hearing noises or perhaps sensing his gaze, she turned her head and looked over, her face breaking into the familiar smile he knew so well.
