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

Finally, Dr. Yang took thirty minutes to wash up and changed into a pretty dress and put on light makeup before coming out.

Xie Qingxiao felt somewhat sour, this was even more grand than their wedding anniversary.

But Dr. Yang was righteous, "We've been married for so many years, what kind of surprise would there be between us anymore? This year's surprise was prepared by my son."

And receiving the necklace, she even wore it to work right then.

Xie Xiao saw the couple off at the door.

Watching Dr. Yang's steps light and filled with laughter.

It seemed that anything their children did could make parents happy.

Xie Xiao sighed inwardly, realizing he had not had this understanding before.

From now on, he decided to prepare more surprises for his parents.

Xie Xiao had arranged to meet Luo Yanran at eleven in the morning, it was still quite early, but he was unable to sleep, so he simply changed into his running gear and went out for a jog.

Along the way, he greeted every familiar neighbor he encountered.

By now, almost everyone knew the Xie family's boy had ranked fifth in the province.

That was indeed a notable achievement.

An aunt from downstairs pulled Xie Xiao aside and said, "Xie Xiao, since you're free during the summer vacation, why don't you come over and tutor my little sister?"

Xie Xiao ah-ed, then said embarrassedly, "Auntie, I'm really sorry, but I'm actually not free."

"Oh, what do you mean not free? Are you just not willing to help? We're neighbors, even an hour a day would be good..."

At that moment, another auntie passed by and chuckled, "No, no, Auntie Li, how much are you offering to pay him per hour? Auntie Xie will pay him the going rate for tutoring fees if he comes to teach my little brother."

Obviously, Auntie Li was slightly annoyed and glared at Auntie Chen. "We are neighbors, why bring up money? That would be too estranging..."

"Oh, what's so strange about that? Neighbors aren't your relatives, and even relatives need to be paid..."

In the end, Xie Xiao's run did not happen; he found an excuse and went back home.

But after all that trouble, Xie Xiao thought he might as well head out early.

After all, they were meeting at the library where they first dated.

Xie Xiao decided to buy some books en route.

Remembering their first date and running into Old Lin and his daughter, who declared the two a couple at the time.

Xie Xiao thought he should buy the little girl some candy.

Xie Xiao arrived at the library just at ten.

Luo Yanran sent him a peeking emoticon, cute and adorable.

Xie Xiao smiled and replied, "Up already?"

"Up! I'll head out in half an hour~"

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the library."

She replied with a nodding emoticon and then went to wash up.

Xie Xiao paid for two books he had picked.

Then he found a quiet corner and began to read.

But he couldn't really concentrate, as his mind was preoccupied.

Xie Xiao looked out the window, a smile forming on his lips.

There was a pleasure in waiting for someone you liked in a peaceful place.

Although Luo Yanran had said she would leave in half an hour and arrive at eleven.

She actually reached at ten fifty and stood at the entrance, sending Xie Xiao a message, "I am standing by the left side of the entrance."

Xie Xiao was almost at the door, having decided to come out early to wait for her.

But she was already there.

He checked the message and looked up to scan outside.

There he saw a beautiful silhouette.

Few people's silhouettes alone could be considered beautiful.

Xie Xiao felt that he was probably seeing Luo Yanran through the eyes of a lover—truly finding her beautiful.

The girl was wearing a dress, white, with black high-top canvas shoes below.

Generally, if someone with a less flattering leg shape wears high-tops, it would make their legs look short.

But clearly, the girl belonged to the group with nice-looking legs.

Her legs were both long and straight.

Yes, it was the type Xie Xiao would like.

Xie Xiao looked down to reply to a message, "Got it, why don't you turn around and take a look?"

Luo Yanran suddenly turned around quickly, her flowing hair flying about.

The sunlight enveloped her in a blanket of gold, making her look warm and dazzling.

When she saw Xie Xiao, the surprise in her eyes turned into a thick smile that couldn't be dissolved.

Then she turned and walked over.

Her steps were a bit fast, Xie Xiao thought she would throw herself into his arms.

But perhaps mindful that this was the entrance to the library, she didn't throw herself at him after all. She just stood in front of Xie Xiao, her eyes sparkling, "When did you get here?"

Xie Xiao reached out to gently move a strand of hair from her face, "Just now, I came to buy some books as well."

Luo Yanran looked at the books in his hand and muttered quietly, "You didn't wait for me, I wanted to buy books too."

Xie Xiao stroked her head and then took her hand, "Then let's go for another round."

His voice carried laughter and tenderness, "I really wanted to see you soon. I couldn't stay at home, thought coming here to read some books would be good. But I couldn't concentrate..."

"Why is that?" Luo Yanran asked, puzzled, feeling happy because of his words.

"Because I was only thinking about you, I couldn't focus at all," Xie Xiao's voice was filled with helplessness.

Luo Yanran's lips curved upward, his words sounded like sweet nothings, but she liked hearing them.

"I missed you too, so I came out early. If I had known you were here earlier, I would have come to join you." She tilted her head to look at Xie Xiao, then took out her phone to check it,

"We haven't seen each other for three days, 13 hours, 34 minutes."

Very precise, if not for the seconds ticking by, Luo Yanran felt she could be even more accurate.

Xie Xiao inhaled sharply, looking into her shining eyes, "Miss Luo, you are better at flirting than I am~"

He couldn't even outflirt her?

Luo Yanran's ears got a bit warm, but no matter, she had succeeded in flirting.

She pulled Xie Xiao forward, "I'm not flirting, I'm only flirting with you."

Xie Xiao felt doomed, why did everything she say feel like she was purposefully teasing him?

He had been poisoned by something called Luo Yanran, but it seemed there was no cure. No matter, he had no intention of finding one.

Later, Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran bought two introductory books on law.

Xie Xiao was curious, "Didn't your grandfather leave any books?"

"Yes, an entire study room at the old house is filled with my grandfather's books. But right now, I still can't understand those, need to take it slowly," Luo Yanran said casually.

With her grades, mastering basic law was definitely not a problem.

Her father didn't comment this time.

After all, the two had already agreed on it.

Luo Yanran was relaxed as well.

After all, she was quite satisfied with their current family interaction model.

Everyone took a step back, and the family became much more harmonious.

Suddenly, she thought of something, "Right, my dad said he would buy me a small apartment opposite the school, I haven't replied to him yet."

Luo Yanran asked hesitantly, "Would you mind?"

He had previously mentioned finding a chance to move out together.

Luo Yanran wasn't sure if he preferred living in her small apartment or if he hoped they would rent a place together.
