Luo Yanran spoke with a laugh in her voice, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Don't move, okay? Just listen to until I finish, or I'll be embarrassed." Xie Xiao had just moved his hand when Luo Yanran firmly pressed it down with a feigned fierceness.
She seed very nervous, taking several deep breaths, "I need to get it all out at once, you have to listen now, or I might not have the courage to say it again."
Xie Xiao really didn't move then, and he shifted to a more comfortable position to hold her hand again.
"Actually, I think I might be a bit lovesick, but from the first ti we t, I've seen you through a filter..." Luo Yanran rembered the natural way he had pushed the door open.
He was very young and smiling, but a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes when he saw her crying on the ground.
As the door opened, the sounds from outside ca in.
It instantly pulled the girl, who felt aggrieved, bullied, and abandoned, back to the real world.
"Back then, I was quite superficial. I thought you were so handso, and it kind of reminded of scenes from novels we used to read, you know? You brought back to the real world..."
Those who start with a filter, generally find it hard to break it.
Unless the person is very different from the image that one has created for them.
But Xie Xiao wasn't like that; he was really gentle and truly outstanding.
Falling for him at the start made it seem only natural that she would deeply fall later.
Liking the light and pursuing soone better seed to be her instinct.
Luo Yanran's voice lowered, "The dream you just ntioned, I really didn't like it because I don't want anything bad to happen to you, not even in a dream, but the way 'I', who'm not familiar with you', acted in it... I think I understand."
It was very realistic, and it seed likely she would do the sa.
Since the day she t Xie Xiao, she believed in love at first sight.
She hadn't really believed in it before.
Because she had never encountered it, nor had she been infatuated.
She couldn't understand how soone could fall for soone at first sight.
Isn't it just because the other person is attractive?
Of course, she also didn't understand love growing over ti, getting to like soone they've known for years suddenly?
Isn't that just becoming accustod to them?
Essentially, when Luo Yanran had never been in love, she was a bit of an arguntative skeptic.
But when she really fell for Xie Xiao, she believed in both love at first sight and love from growing familiarity. Enjoy new tales from empire
It turned out that liking and heart-flutters were beyond one's control.
Just like when Luo Yanran, filled with happiness, mustered the courage to ask Xie Xiao out to eat and then saw another girl by his side.
She saw them walking towards her group, yet Xie Xiao didn't spare her a second glance.
She had always thought she was dazzling.
She had been dazzling ever since she was young.
But in Xie Xiao's eyes, she simply wasn't there, even though she could hear other boys whisper, "Hey, look, that's Luo, the school beauty!"
Many eyes fell on her.
But Xie Xiao just glanced her way briefly before looking away.
She couldn't attract him, no matter how dazzling she was, she seed dull and dim in his eyes.
You see, liking soone really isn't sothing you can control.
Luo Yanran's voice slowly diminished, "Actually, every ti I look back, your sudden closeness seems so unreal."
"Xie Xiao. Is your dream really that real, and is that why it upset you so much?"
Xie Xiao had been closing his eyes, the ice felt very soothing.
But from the mont she said liking soone is uncontrollable, his eyes were already open.
He took off the thing covering his eyes.
He turned his face towards her.
She lay still, gazing upward with her eyes covered.
When she spoke of the past, the smile at the corner of her mouth turned bitter.
Yet her tone remained light,
that was Luo Yanran, after all. Because they ended up together, she felt that nothing before that mattered.
Xie Xiao averted his gaze, his face filled with sadness, "Yes, I know you would really do that, so I'm very sad, I don't want you to be like this."
Luo Yanran squeezed his hand, "What are you talking about? You won't have any accidents! If it really were like in the dreams, I would always stay by your side. Even if we weren't close, it wouldn't matter; you couldn't get rid of anyway. I would be there."
"Xie Xiao, I've always been here."
Xie Xiao closed his eyes. She had always been there.
Xie Xiao knew this now, the Xie Xiao of his past life knew, and so did the Xie Xiao of this life.
He suddenly leaned in to hug Luo Yanran, making her start; she reached up to remove sothing from her eyes.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Yes, my eyes feel more comfortable. I just want to hug you, don't want to do anything else..."
Luo Yanran ran her fingers through his hair, ssing it up, no longer dwelling on the earlier confusion regarding Xie Xiao's change in attitude.
Anyway, for her now, it really wasn't important; what mattered most was that Xie Xiao now belonged to her.
The person standing by his side was herself, and that was enough.
She saw the ring on her hand, given by Xie Xiao.
In every step of his plans for the future, she was included.
That was enough.
Her father once said, "If a person always dwells on the past, they will find it hard to be happy because they have trapped themselves."
She couldn't recall when or where he had said it.
But Luo Yanran just rembered it without aning to.
And she always rembered.
Now, she was starting to agree.
Xie Xiao held Luo Yanran for a while, and even when his phone vibrated, he didn't want to let go.
Only when Luo Yanran told him to answer the phone did he reluctantly let go and reached over to pick up the mobile phone.
The call was from Liu Zhu, who had made plans with Xie Xiao the night before to et his sister at 2 o'clock that afternoon at his house.
It was now one o'clock, and Liu Zhu, probably fearing that Xie Xiao might back out, had seen that no one replied to his WeChat ssage in the morning and decided to call to make sure.
Xie Xiao apologized, "I rember, we'll co over soon, I just got up late today and didn't check my ssages, sorry about that."
Liu Zhu must have breathed a sigh of relief on the other end, then said softly, "It's who should be sorry for bothering you, Xie brother, I was really afraid you wouldn't co because it would be troubleso for you, my sister is really looking forward to eting you."
Lying against Xie Xiao and hearing Liu Zhu's careful voice, Luo Yanran felt a pang in her heart.
It's no wonder Xie Xiao had a soft spot; Luo Yanran could feel his love for his sister through the phone in his hesitant voice.
Xie Xiao said a few words to Liu Zhu, then hung up.
Then he lowered his head and kissed Luo Yanran on the forehead, "Shall we get ready to go out now?"
Luo Yanran nodded and rose from his embrace.
The two of them went in one after the other to get ready.
Luo Yanran naturally had a good complexion and usually didn't wear makeup except for work, but still complained about Xie Xiao's rough ways.
There wasn't even a bottle of moisturizer at ho.
As Xie Xiao held her hand while leaving the house, he apologized, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Shall we go buy so when we get back? I'll buy you a few sets to keep at ho, use whichever you want~"
Luo Yanran laughed at his remark, "You sound like a nouveau riche!"
"Correction, a nouveau riche who dotes on his wife!"
