The two of them spent the afternoon at the hotel.
When they ca out, Luo Yanran walked with a slight stiffness.
The necklace was tucked into her bag.
Xie Xiao led her to the lobby to check out.
He hadn't expected there to be so many people checking out in the evening.
While waiting, Xie Xiao ran into a sowhat familiar guy, who he rembered was from the class next door.
Both exchanged knowing glances and smiles as a way of greeting.
After all, both had companions by their sides, afraid that their partners might be too shy to greet each other.
Xie Xiao felt he shouldn't choose the closest option next ti, as it was truly awkward.
As he was checking out and walking out with Luo Yanran, he noticed she kept glancing in a certain direction.

Xie Xiao also looked over, "What's wrong?"
Luo Yanran turned back, shook her head, and said, "I thought I saw soone familiar, but I might have been mistaken."
She just saw soone in the elevator who looked a bit like a dorm mate.
But, when chatting at the start of the school year, it seed like everyone else said they were single, except her.
Luo Yanran was sowhat uncertain if she had seen wrong.
The person got on the elevator too quickly, and she couldn't see clearly.
Luo Yanran followed behind Xie Xiao as they left, thinking it wouldn't be strange anyway, as their dorm relationships weren't that great.
Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran had dinner and watched a movie that evening, going through the entire dating process before he finally took her back.
It was already ten o'clock by the ti they reached her dormitory building.
The dormitory closes at eleven o'clock.
Xie Xiao stood still and patted her head, "Go up."
This was the freshman dorm and there really weren't many who had paired up so shortly after enrollnt.
Thus, Xie Xiao standing there was quite noticeable.
The two were stared at by passing girls, making them feel sowhat uncomfortable.
Luo Yanran was sowhat reluctant but still reached out and tugged his hand, saying, "You should head back too."
Xie Xiao chuckled and humd, "I'll leave once I see you go up."
Luo Yanran kept looking back as she went up the last steps.
Xie Xiao watched her figure disappear around the stairwell corner before he turned and walked away.
He had only walked a few steps when he saw a girl carrying two large bags of barbecue, who smiled at him as she passed by.
Xie Xiao felt puzzled.
But the girl had already walked far away.
Luo Yanran returned to her dorm only to find she wasn't the last one back.
Wang Wan and another dorm mate, Lin Min, were already there.
But Yan Lina, whom she saw at the hotel who looked sowhat familiar, hadn't returned yet.
Lin Min greeted her, whereas Wang Wan just glanced at her before turning back to continue with her computer.
Luo Yanran was speechless; she didn't deal much with Wang Wan, but her attitude was truly poor.
Lin Min, a petite and cute girl from the south, asked, "Did you have a date with your boyfriend today?"
"Yeah." Luo Yanran smiled and spoke candidly, "It's been a long ti."
"I saw on a forum that soone took a sneaky picture of your boyfriend. He's really handso and quite tall," Lin Min said with a smile, "When are you inviting us out for a al? There's a handso guy called Qi Yan in his dorm, is he single?"
Sotis Luo Yanran really admired them; they had all attended military training together, but they seed to know a lot.
Even the nas of the people in Xie Xiao's dorm were known to them.
Luo Yanran herself hadn't even rembered them.
But she honestly said, "It seems like in his dorm, aside from him, only a guy nad Shen Jun'an has a girlfriend."
"Ah, that's great! When should we have a al together?" Lin Min had barely finished speaking when the dorm room door was pushed open.
Yan Lina ca in with two large bags of barbecue, smiling as she asked, "What al? You're not including ? Here, I've packed so late-night snacks for you."
Yan Lina was a peculiar person, seemingly on good terms with everyone,
even Wang Wan always smiled at her.
Moreover, her family seed very wealthy; the things she used were quite expensive.
She beckoned to the group, "Co eat so late-night snacks! Oh, right, Luoluo, I just saw your boyfriend on the street. He really is quite handso. I even smiled at him. Ask him; he probably encountered a weird girl smiling at him, hahaha~"
Her tone was frank.
Luo Yanran also smiled and nodded, "Then I'll ask him later."
"Wang Wan, co eat! It'll get cold soon..."
...
Xie Xiao returned to the dorm only to find that Shen Jun'an hadn't co back yet.
Qi Yan and Lu Ci kept teasing Xie Xiao back and forth in a playful manner.
But it was all in good fun.
Xie Xiao just laughed and took it all in stride, even deliberately showing off his affectionate side.
The two of them were left speechless.
They simply shut up.
Only then did Xie Xiao begin to undress, preparing to take another shower because he was sweaty from the walk.
Then Qi Yan dramatically elongated his voice, "Wow, wild wife, huh?"
Xie Xiao paused for a mont, then turned to see his back.
Lu Ci had decisively snapped a photo and lifted his phone, "Take a look."
Xie Xiao truly hadn't noticed the claw marks on his back before.
The red streaks made it clear just how beastly he had been.
But, Xie Xiao felt it wasn't entirely his fault,
as it had been so long, and Luo Yanran, that little bell, had indeed tempted him, hadn't she?
Though a bit embarrassed, Xie Xiao faced their teasing calmly, "Understand, please. My wife and I hadn't been intimate for a month. Oh, send that photo."
"Damn, you really have no sha, do you?" Qi Yan burst out laughing, "The girls in class call you gentle and refined; they really should see your true face."
"Wait, when did you get so chummy with the girls from class?" Xie Xiao countered, "Aren't you chasing after a senior girl?"
"Oh, it's off, she invited to dinner today and brought her boyfriend," Qi Yan sighed, "I'm so miserable—I got dumped."
That was indeed miserable.
After all, it wasn't hard to see that Qi Yan truly liked the senior girl, constantly talking about her.
The last ti she ca to watch his military training, they all thought he had a chance.
Today they went out for a al together, and just like that, no chance?
Lu Ci was quiet for a mont, "It's a bit sad, but I'm relieved – at least I'm not the only one suffering in the dorm now."
Qi Yan, annoyed but amused, swore outright.
The three laughed for a while, and Xie Xiao asked, "Feeling bad?"
Qi Yan looked at him frankly, "It would be a lie to say it doesn't hurt, but it's okay, I guess. She has rejected so many tis, I'm used to it. Just didn't expect she'd already have a boyfriend..."
"Qi, if it really doesn't work out, consider . I can manage, you're rich, handso, and tall..."
"Get lost!"
...
Lights out at eleven sharp.
Yet, every bed was still aglow with light.
Xie Xiao sent the photo to Luo Yanran, "Got scratched by a wild kitty."
