In the end, Xie Xiao still didn't go to Luo Yanran's private room.
Because he really was in a bad mood, and Luo Yanran had ntioned that people were smoking inside, so she didn't plan to stay either.
Xie Xiao thought it was probably just an excuse.
Anyway, she didn't let Xie Xiao in, and she ca out with her bag after about three minutes.
Indeed, a sll of smoke wafted out when the door opened.
Luo Yanran took Xie Xiao's hand and headed downstairs, saying, "If you had gone in, we wouldn't have been able to leave for a while."
Her tone was sowhat helpless, "I had initially intended for you to just show your face, but these guys must be under too much study pressure; there are just so many smokers. They were just being scolded by Teacher Luo."
Luo Yanran turned to Xie Xiao and whispered, "Soone even cried in there."
After all, the results were coming out tomorrow.
So probably felt they hadn't done well, which only added to the pressure.
They were already repeaters, so their pressure was greater than that of the average high school graduate.
Thinking this, Xie Xiao looked at Luo Yanran, who was walking beside him. They had already left the KTV, and the air felt much fresher.
"Are you feeling a lot of pressure?" Xie Xiao asked.
Luo Yanran looked relaxed, "It's not true if I say I'm not under pressure, but it's not too much. I perform well, you see."
She spoke lightly, yet confidently, "I won't score badly."
She looked at Xie Xiao, "I still want to go to B University with you."
Xie Xiao looked at the smile in her eyes and touched her face, "What if I don't get in?"
"Haven't we discussed this already?" Luo Yanran said indifferently, "I want to be in the sa place as you, no matter what."
Hand in hand, the two walked out of the bar street, with the bustling snack street not far ahead, teeming with people and lively business.
Xie Xiao smiled, "So what major do you want to read?"
Xie Xiao had asked this question before, but at the ti Luo Yanran hadn't decided yet.
With the results coming out tomorrow, Xie Xiao asked again.
She was quiet for a mont, "My dad wants to study economics."
"And what about you?" Xie Xiao countered. "What do you want to study?"
Xie Xiao could guess—when Luo Yanran firmly and unhesitatingly declared her intention to go to B University, she probably had a desired major in mind.
But her not disclosing it ant that she was sowhat hesitant, or there was so other reason.
At that mont, Luo Yanran smiled, "It's hard to say, really. I've thought about it. I've considered what I want to study."
She looked towards the bustling crowd ahead, "Did I ever tell you? I spent a lot of ti with my grandfather as a child, as everyone else in my family was very busy, my parents and grandmother included. Even my grandfather was busy. But he was willing to spend ti with ."
Luo Yanran's grandfather was a very accomplished lawyer.
He was busy every day.
But he always made ti for Luo Yanran.
He would talk to her about legal statutes, and taught her many life lessons.
He was the only one in the family who made it seem like there was no rush.
"But my grandfather passed away early, and less than two years after his passing, my grandmother died too; she was too heartbroken. But back then, I didn't understand—why be so busy? So busy that there's no ti to spend with family?" Luo Yanran smiled, but a glimr that looked like tears appeared in her eyes.
"My grandmother was a strong woman, so my father is also a very successful businessman. He only has , his daughter, and wants to join the company in the future. But... I really miss my grandfather."
Her voice was very low, "I want to beco soone who brings hope and warmth to others, just like him, but the older I get, the more I resemble my dad. I don't like gentle smiles, it feels like I'm always so cold."
Xie Xiao saw her quickly raise her hand to wipe the corner of her eye.
She smiled, "I actually wanted to study liberal arts initially, but my dad didn't agree, and we argued, so I compromised."
So she studied science.
But studying law seed to be even more challenging that way.
Luo Yanran looked at Xie Xiao, "I told my dad that if I got into law school I would go, and if not, I would go to the economics school he ntioned, look, I've prepared my first and second choices."
Xie Xiao reached out to touch her head and couldn't resist gently touching the corner of her eye, smiling as he said, "Our little Ms. Luo is so capable, you'll definitely get in."
Luo Yanran rubbed his hand with hers, "I think so too."
Both of them had eyes full of expectations for the future.
Xie Xiao then contested her previous statent, "You're not cold, you're tough on the outside but soft on the heart, which is really cute, but it does make worry a bit, what will such a soft-hearted person be like in court?"
In fact, she would definitely be beautiful, thinking of Luo Yanran in a suit standing in court, Xie Xiao felt she would definitely be a stunning presence.
Luo Yanran denied it, "I'm not tough on the outside but soft on the heart, I'm very cold!"
"Really? Let feel." Xie Xiao said as he took her hand, and pretended to be surprised, "How warm?"
Luo Yanran was amused by him, reaching out to slap him lightly, "Why are you like this?"
"It's good to see you laugh." Xie Xiao watched her smiling face, "Such a cute girl should smile more. Whatever you want to study, whatever path you choose in the future, I support you, always support you, as your most loyal fan of Ms. Luo!"
He even waved his arm, mimicking the gesture of giving a shout-out.
Luo Yanran, without caring, threw herself directly into his arms, "Xie Xiao, you're so nice."
"Uh oh, is this what they call the friend zone?" Xie Xiao held her and stepped aside on the sidewalk.
Two passing girls saw them hugging and let out friendly laughter.
Xie Xiao also smiled at them.
Then Luo Yanran put her hand over his face, whispering, "Don't smile at other girls."
Xie Xiao, with his face mostly covered by those tender hands, just smiled, "Okay, okay, I won't smile."
Still, he kissed her palm.
Then she quickly withdrew her hand, muttering softly, "Isn't that dirty?"
"Not dirty at all." Xie Xiao laughed as he pulled down her hand and kissed it again.
Luo Yanran, seeing his gentle deanor, laughed, "I'm supposed to be the one cheering you up, but now it's turned into you cheering up."
Her tone carried a touch of frustration.
"No need to cheer up, I'm actually feeling a lot better now, influenced by Old Lin." Xie Xiao said, "Old Lin is really a good teacher, it's a pity. But this matter isn't necessarily as my family thinks."
He sighed, "We really can't help much, sotis I genuinely feel quite helpless."
His voice was sowhat lancholic.
Watching Xie Xiao like this, Luo Yanran suddenly said, "Sotis I think if you were in ancient tis, you would definitely be a hero."
Xie Xiao was briefly baffled by his girlfriend's imagination, "Why?"
"Because you always want to help a lot of people," Luo Yanran looked at Xie Xiao, "always willing to share your warmth with others."
Just like when I was a stranger to you.
