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

Girls harbor complex emotions of gaining and losing.

Luo Yanran never felt there was anything wrong with choosing the path she wanted to take.

Everyone has dreams, and they don't necessarily grow into what their parents expect.

She once had a falling out with her family to stick to her dreams, determinedly retaking her year.

But all these premises were based on the assumption that her dreams were not built on the suppression of Xie Xiao's, which was extremely unfair to him.

If her moving forward meant Xie Xiao could only reluctantly walk the path she was supposed to take,

then Luo Yanran had to admit that it was the first time she felt regret.

At that moment, the elevator arrived, with a "ding-dong" sound.

Xie Xiao led her out by the hand, "Sometimes I feel like we understand each other, but other times I wonder why you, this young girl, like to overthink so much?"

There was a sense of helplessness in Xie Xiao's voice.

When they reached the door of their home, they entered using the fingerprint lock.

Xie Xiao helped her change shoes, then changed his own before leading her to sit down on the sofa.

He didn't sit down himself but knelt in front of her.

Looking up, he saw her reddened eyes.

The young girl was feeling more regretful by the moment, to the point of nearly crying.

Xie Xiao gently touched her eyes with a comforting voice, "It's not as bad as you think. You know that my major allows me to learn anywhere, and following Uncle Xu's arrangement will let me learn even more."

Luo Yanran blinked, her long eyelashes brushing against Xie Xiao's fingers, "But don't you feel like you're being forced into this?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Not at all, I'm actually grateful," Xie Xiao's voice was filled with laughter, "Grateful that my favorite field of study can ensure you have no worries."

"Ranran, things aren't bad at all; Uncle did not force me. I truly wanted to go. It seems like I've gotten the better end of the deal."

Xie Xiao's voice was gentle and firm, "My hope was to work a bit harder so that in the future you wouldn't need to think too much; just be determined to move forward, and I would be your strongest support. That would have taken a very long time. But Uncle's offer has significantly shortened that time. Ranran, don't worry, I'm fine, I can adapt, and this is also my choice, everything is arranged for the best."

"Ranran, don't overthink it; it's putting a lot of pressure on me and Uncle."

Xie Xiao pulled her palm to his face and rubbed it, muttering, "Rubbing your hand's oil..."

Luo Yanran couldn't help but burst out laughing, then chided him, "Why are you so annoying?"

Sad emotions dissolved in an instant.

Luo Yanran was a calm person by nature, but when it came to her family and Xie Xiao, her judgment could be affected.

That happens with everyone, especially with those they care about.

It's tough to remain objective and rational.

At this moment, as Xie Xiao made her laugh, many feelings suddenly dispersed, and she could sense the real emotions within.

Luo Yanran looked down, her forehead touching Xie Xiao's, "Xie Xiao, why are you so good?"

"Don't send me a 'nice guy' card; I could practically wholesale them," Xie Xiao said discontentedly, tilting his face slightly upward, their noses touching, "But I wouldn't want to wholesale it, this is from our Ranran."

Their breaths mingled.

As their noses touched, Luo Yanran's long eyelashes trembled lightly, then she kissed Xie Xiao's lips.

They shared a lingering kiss.

...

Xie Xiao appeared quite slim but also paid attention to fitness, with various exercise equipment on the home balcony.

When they were soaking together in the bathtub, Xie Xiao spoke softly, "Shall we buy a house? Our home."

Luo Yanran's face was still very red, as was her exposed neck. Hearing his words, she looked up at him with a glimmer in her eyes, "Buy a house?"

"Mhm, I've calculated our savings, and if I ask Qi Yan for a discount, the down payment won't be a big problem," Xie Xiao said as he held her tight. "I want to buy a house, to have a home of our own."

Luo Yanran's body still couldn't help but tremble involuntarily.

But she gently reached out and touched Xie Xiao's hair, "Okay, let's buy it. I have some savings on my side..."

"We don't need to use your savings for now, isn't that your private stash?" Xie Xiao's voice was tinged with laughter as he took her hand from the water, with a ring still on the middle finger of his right hand.

He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it, "I'll work a little harder to have this ring moved to the next finger soon, just wait for me."

Luo Yanran felt the soft touch of his lips as if it tingled all the way to the tip of her heart.

Xie Xiao, Xie Xiao, Xie Xiao...

Her mind was filled with his name.

It seemed like she really had a case of lovesickness.

A kind of lovesickness that left her utterly powerless only when faced with Xie Xiao.

But she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, to be able to like someone for so long, and just so happen that this person also liked her was very fortunate.

To be in love was inherently an unexpected and romantic affair.

Luo Yanran said, "Xie Xiao, you have me in your future."

This was not a question, but an affirmation.

Without even thinking, Xie Xiao smiled and said, "It's not that I have you, you are my future."

Without you, there is no me.

Whether in a past life or now.

Luo Yanran, you will never know how important you are to me.

A satisfied smile spread across Luo Yanran's lips.

In the end, she still fell asleep while soaking in the bath.

Xie Xiao felt a tad regretful, just a little; she was really tired, and yet he couldn't help but be playful.

In the end, it was he who wrapped her in a bath towel and carried her out.

Fortunately, Luo Yanran had guessed she'd fall asleep without washing her hair.

She said she would wash it the next morning.

It would be too cruel to wake her up to dry her hair now.

When Xie Xiao was helping her change clothes, she briefly awoke.

But upon seeing Xie Xiao, she fell back into a peaceful sleep.

Xie Xiao was both amused and touched, still dressing her in her pajamas.

He tidied up the bedroom and bathroom, then went to the kitchen to fill a thermos cup with warm water and placed it on Luo Yanran's bedside table.

Everything was natural and practiced.

As if he had grown accustomed to it long ago.

Finally, he got into bed, embraced his wife, and whispered, "Good night."

Good night and sweet dreams, my love.
