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 sowhat 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, soone in his class asked if Xie Xiao was his son, recalling the family photo Teacher Xie had shared on his social dia before.
At this mont, 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, ti really flies."
Xie Xiao smiled and nodded, "Indeed, I still rember when I first started university."
How quickly ti has passed.
At this mont, Xie Qingxiao spoke, "Are you planning to stay in City B or co back here with Luoluo?"
Xie Qingxiao looked at his son, who had now shed his youthful immaturity, and his gaze montarily 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.
Xie Xiao didn't expect they would ask this, as this was sothing he and Luo Yanran had not yet discussed.
Because neither of them was really sure about it.
But indeed, it was sothing they should start considering.
If Xie Xiao were to express his thoughts at this mont, 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 co 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 sa was true for his return.
So, stepping out of the airport, he checked the ti and decided to directly et 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 environnt was benign, fortunately.
Well, except for a senior who seed to be interested in her, everything was fine.
This made Luo Yanran sowhat uncomfortable because this senior was a forr schoolmate of hers.
He had been very supportive of her on her first day.
The interns in the sa 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 sa case.
Kang Hui was that particularly supportive schoolmate.
At the mont, they had just co out from the big boss's office, and Kang Hui glanced at the ti, "It's ti 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 sothing?"
"Yes, my boyfriend is coming back today. I want to go back and accompany him."
ntioning Xie Xiao, Luo Yanran's smile turned tender, her facial lines seemingly softened in an instant.
Kang Hui rembered 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 beco awkward if said too plainly.
In the end, Luo Yanran didn't work overti and saw a ssage from Xie Xiao knowing he was waiting downstairs.
Luo Yanran's steps were light.
Upon exiting the elevator, her eyes brightened.
At that mont, Xie Xiao would be standing under the streetlight at the door.
Luo Yanran hadn't replied to his ssage, so he thought she must be working overti, indeed, it had been half an hour already.
But Xie Xiao was not in a hurry, looking down and replying to a few ssages.
Although he didn't involve himself much in company affairs, he couldn't really ignore everything; he still needed to be aware of so of the company's decisions.
At that mont, 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 ti 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!"
