Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Because Ranran inherently shines in his heart
Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran's admission notices arrived together.
After the admission notice arrived, Luo Yanran even came to eat at our house.
Although she was still a bit restrained, she was much more at ease than last time.
During the meal, Yang Lan tentatively asked about Luo Yanran's parents.
She was stunned for a moment before saying, "My parents are both quite busy, I'll go to the report day by myself..."
Actually, this had been agreed upon from the start.
Luo Yanran's father just happened to have a big deal and flew out of the country.
Luo Yanran's mother's schedule was even more uncertain.
But this time, at least they knew to tell Luo Yanran in advance.
Luo Yanran felt there was nothing wrong with this.
Hearing this, Yang Lan exclaimed, "No problem, your uncle and I will take you both there."
Xie Xiao seemed somewhat amused and helpless, "Mom, are you sure you can make time with all your busy schedule?"
"Sure, I have already started rescheduling," Yang Lan said without hesitation.
Luo Yanran felt a bit envious; even though Xie Xiao's mother was also very busy, she always managed to coordinate her time in advance...
Her hand, under the table, was gently grasped by a warm hand.
Xie Qingxiao quickly changed the subject.
The decision on how to send the kids to school was thus made.
The two youngsters had no say in the matter.
After dinner, when Xie Xiao was escorting her home, just as they stepped out of the community gate, Luo Yanran suddenly asked, "Will your aunt think it's unreliable that my parents don't even know about you?"
She belatedly realized the situation.
After all, she had already eaten at Xie Xiao's house twice.
Xie Xiao was startled for a moment; actually, Doctor Yang's question just now was indeed a bit probing.
She had also asked him before if Ranran's parents knew about him, hadn't she?
At that time, Xie Xiao had seriously said, "It's not appropriate for me to just go to someone's house like this, isn't it? They might think I'm leading Ranran into a premature romance."
Doctor Yang didn't ask further at that time.
So actually, when she asked just now, Xie Xiao was also a bit slow to react.
Seeing Luo Yanran a bit worried, he couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry. My mom probably was just asking. She's asked me about it before, and I told her it was my fault for not having met your parents."
Luo Yanran looked at Xie Xiao, "But still..."
"Really, it's okay, don't think too much," Xie Xiao pinched her hand, "You should use this time to go home and think about what you need to pack. Anyway, my mom will probably nag you."
His tone was full of exasperation, yet it was laced with laughter, "All mothers in the world nag."
Luo Yanran also smiled, "But it's really good, the way your aunt is."
Xie Xiao hummed in agreement, drawing out his tone, "No problem~ she will also be your mother someday."
Luo Yanran's face instantly turned beet red.
Xie Xiao just looked at her with a smile.
In his hand, a cute little cat charm hanging from his phone swung a few times with his occasional movements.
...
Time flew by quickly.
Xie Xiao's family, plus Luo Yanran, flew to B city at the end of August.
They were from different majors, but the military training period was the same.
It was the beginning of September.
But the reporting time had already started.
Two sets of parents took their kids and hurried off to report to the university.
Xie Xiao originally wanted to help Luo Yanran check into her dorm first.
But Doctor Yang was efficient, "It's faster to split up and take action."
A senior who was helping to show the way laughed and said, "This family really has high visual appeal."
Xie Xiao replied with a smile, "Thank you."
Luo Yanran felt a bit embarrassed, but didn't know how to start speaking.
However, Doctor Yang smiled and said, "The child is still young, not yet of legal marriage age, but she's already considered part of the family."
The senior student showed a surprised expression, then looked at Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran and gave a thumbs-up, "Well-matched!"
Luo Yanran felt a bit embarrassed and also said a word of thanks.
In the end, thankfully, they split up as Doctor Yang had suggested.
They were to gather at the entrance after getting ready.
When Xie Xiao and Xie Qingxiao were led down to the dormitory building by a senior, they still heard their dad muttering, "Is it really appropriate for those two girls to go?"
But it would have been even less appropriate for him to accompany Luo Yanran himself.
Xie Xiao was actually a bit worried too.
But his mom and his girlfriend both said it was fine.
Men rarely had a say in these matters, anyway.
Xie Xiao had arrived at the school two days early, so there was no one else in the dorm when he got there.
The four-person room wasn't bad.
After the senior had brought them over, he left his contact information saying they could reach out to him if needed, then hurried off.
He must have really been busy.
Xie Qingxiao watched the senior's retreating figure and said to Xie Xiao, "We should really thank him properly sometime, maybe treat him to a meal or something."
Xie Xiao, looking at the school survival tips sent by the senior, felt they were indeed necessary and replied with a thank you to the senior on WeChat.
There was no response from the other side, probably busy again.
He then started organizing his belongings with Xie Qingxiao.
Each bed had a name label on it, all were loft beds with desks underneath, and Xie Xiao happened to be in bed number one.
Beside it, bed number two was labeled Qi Yan. Xie Qingxiao glanced at beds three and four and laughed, "Your dorm mates have nice-sounding names."
Bed three was Lu Ci, and bed four was Shen Jun'an.
They all sounded rather literary.
Names their dad would like.
Xie Xiao was actually quite curious about his dorm mates too, since in his past life, he never had the chance to go to college.
The two of them organized their stuff quickly, and Xie Qingxiao even cleaned the bathroom and mopped the floor.
Only after confirming that Luo Yanran and the others were done too did they pack up some things to meet up with them.
Xie Qingxiao and the others were staying at a hotel tonight; first, they had to go for dinner.
Walking on the campus paths, Xie Xiao looked at his dad, who was full of reminiscence, "Son, I suddenly remembered my college days."
Xie Xiao teased him on purpose, "Weren't you and mom in a long-distance relationship in college?"
"Right, so you're the lucky one," Xie Qingxiao said with a laugh. "Back then, your mom and I were so far apart, it was so hard to see each other, I was always afraid some guy would chase after her, given how pretty she is..."
His tone was full of nostalgia, "Long-distance is tough, it's good that you and Yanran are like this, but college is different from high school, and you're in different faculties, son, don't get dazzled by the glamorous world."
Experience more content on empire
He said this with a laugh.
But Xie Xiao still heard the seriousness in his voice.
Xie Xiao nodded earnestly, "Don't worry, Dad, would your son be that unreliable?"
Xie Qingxiao just smiled, the heart of a young man is unpredictable.
Everyone is naturally attracted to new things and people, it's instinct.
But he hoped his son would one day be able to tell the difference between a whim and what he truly wants.
In the end, he simply alluded to his point.
The child had grown up, and he understood a lot. Being too explicit might not be good.
Xie Xiao looked at Xie Qingxiao's still straight back, taking this as his father's hint.
He understood.
If it were the Xie Xiao of seventeen or eighteen years old, it might be a different story.
But the Xie Xiao of now was certain, he wouldn't be attracted to another woman.
Because Ranran already shone brightly in his heart.
