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

Speaking of which, the livestream really made a splash, shooting up the charts.

Both accounts gained quite a few followers.

Afterward, Qi Yan even said that Xie Xiao was simply a marketing genius, directly saving a lot of money that would have been spent on buying followers.

Xie Xiao was somewhat helpless, the livestream was really an accident, though it did keep him and Luo Yanran trending as the "scholar couple" for a whole day on the hot search.

Even when Teacher Xie went to work, someone in his class asked if Xie Xiao was his son, recalling the family photo Teacher Xie had shared on his social media before.

At this moment, the family of three was eating and talking about this.

With a tone of helplessness, Xie Qingxiao said, "I really don't know what today's students are up to; they don't miss a single piece of gossip."

Yang Lan then asked with concern, "Xiao Xiao, is the issue resolved?"

Xie Xiao quickly replied, "It's resolved, Mom, don't worry, it's all trivial."

That slightly reassured Yang Lan.

She glanced at Xie Qingxiao and then said, "Xiao Xiao, you guys are graduating next June, time really flies."

Xie Xiao smiled and nodded, "Indeed, I still remember when I first started university."

How quickly time has passed.

At this moment, Xie Qingxiao spoke, "Are you planning to stay in City B or come back here with Luoluo?"

Xie Qingxiao looked at his son, who had now shed his youthful immaturity, and his gaze momentarily blurred. Just last night, his wife had been discussing with him about buying a house for their son, and it struck him that their child had reached the age for marriage without them realizing it.

As parents, they needed to start thinking about helping him buy a house.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xie Xiao didn't expect they would ask this, as this was something he and Luo Yanran had not yet discussed.

Because neither of them was really sure about it.

But indeed, it was something they should start considering.

If Xie Xiao were to express his thoughts at this moment, both his company and Luo Yanran's job are in City B, so staying in City B seems most appropriate.

However, he wasn't sure what Luo Yanran thought, coming back could also be an option.

Familiar surroundings and friends were all here.

So Xie Xiao smiled and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with Ranran, aren't we only graduating next year?"

Xie Qingxiao and Yang Lan nodded, "Good, you guys talk it over."

Xie Qingxiao directly stated, "If you come back, Mom and Dad can help you buy a house, but if you stay in City B, you'll need to work harder on your own."

His tone was helpless, "It's just that your parents can't do much."

Xie Xiao didn't expect they would say this and hastened to reply, "What are you talking about? Aren't you capable? Don't worry, I can earn the money for the house myself, okay? Your son is quite good at making money."

Saying this, he even jokingly teased them. "Shall I buy you a house first to prove my capabilities?"

"You cheeky boy..."

"Stop fooling around, let's eat, you need to take this matter seriously, Xiao Xiao..."

"Mom and Dad might not be able to give much, but we'll always prepare the best we can for you..."

...

Xie Xiao spent a day with his parents before flying back.

In these three days, Luo Yanran had already received a necklace, bracelet, and anklet.

Together with the waist chain Xie Xiao had previously given her, Luo Yanran was starting to suspect this guy had a peculiar affection for chains.

Xie Xiao returned in the afternoon when Luo Yanran was still at work, so she couldn't pick him up.

But Xie Xiao didn't need a ride, as he hadn't brought much with him when he left and the same was true for his return.

So, stepping out of the airport, he checked the time and decided to directly meet Luo Yanran after work, which should fit their schedule perfectly to have dinner together.

Luo Yanran was truly busy at work, so busy that even upon seeing that Xie Xiao had landed, she could only manage to reply with a kiss emoji.

The place where she interned was a renowned law firm in City B.

The competition was fierce, with only two spots available for eight interns.

And these interns were all notably high achievers, including Luo Yanran, who faced intense pressure every day.

The competition environment was benign, fortunately.

Well, except for a senior who seemed to be interested in her, everything was fine.

This made Luo Yanran somewhat uncomfortable because this senior was a former schoolmate of hers.

He had been very supportive of her on her first day.

The interns in the same group had even joked, asking if it was because Luo Yanran was pretty?

The person responded frankly, "It's because she is a direct junior."

Fortunately, everyone believed the law firm was fair, so there was no ostracism against Luo Yanran for this reason.

However, lately, Luo Yanran was just behind Kang Hui, responsible for the same case.

Kang Hui was that particularly supportive schoolmate.

At the moment, they had just come out from the big boss's office, and Kang Hui glanced at the time, "It's time to get off work, but we probably still need to discuss this case, shall we have dinner together?"

See, even his excuses for having dinner were hard to refuse.

But Luo Yanran was thinking about Xie Xiao returning today, so she said, "This isn't very urgent, can we discuss it tomorrow at work? It's also more efficient to discuss it directly at the office."

Kang Hui paused, "You have something?"

"Yes, my boyfriend is coming back today. I want to go back and accompany him."

Mentioning Xie Xiao, Luo Yanran's smile turned tender, her facial lines seemingly softened in an instant.

Kang Hui remembered that Luo Yanran had a boyfriend when she just started school, and they had enrolled together.

Back then, it was quite the topic on the school forum.

He just hadn't thought they were still together till now?

"Is it that Xie Xiao?" Kang Hui asked.

Luo Yanran nodded, "Of course, it's always been him."

It could only be him.

Kang Hui exaggeratedly sighed, jokingly said, "My goodness, I thought that after all these years I might eventually have a chance."

Luo Yanran also responded with a laugh, "Senior, stop joking around."

Kang Hui sighed. They both knew he wasn't joking.

But Luo Yanran's response was clear, she treated it as if he were joking.

This was a rejection.

Kang Hui was a smart man, so a confession that wasn't voiced out ultimately remained unexpressed.

They could still be partners and colleagues.

Certain things become awkward if said too plainly.

In the end, Luo Yanran didn't work overtime and saw a message from Xie Xiao knowing he was waiting downstairs.

Luo Yanran's steps were light.

Upon exiting the elevator, her eyes brightened.

At that moment, Xie Xiao would be standing under the streetlight at the door.

Luo Yanran hadn't replied to his message, so he thought she must be working overtime, indeed, it had been half an hour already.

But Xie Xiao was not in a hurry, looking down and replying to a few messages.

Although he didn't involve himself much in company affairs, he couldn't really ignore everything; he still needed to be aware of some of the company's decisions.

At that moment, Xie Xiao was also considering, if he really went back to focus on his career, he would sell all his shares to Qi Yan at a low price.

This sounded like a loss, as the industry would surely make more money over a long time into the future.

But Xie Xiao had his own concerns; his focus was never really on this...

Just then, a pair of delicate and fair hands covered his eyes, and a voice lowered on purpose asked, "Guess who!"
