Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Xie Xiao didn't immediately leave, but continued to stroll around the night market with over a hundred thousand fans in his live broadcast room, and many fans said they wanted to come over and find them.

Xie Xiao complained, "No need, right? We're not celebrities. Those who are around can come visit; the night market here has lots of delicious food. Those who aren't can watch me eat..."

Xie Xiao streamed alone for over an hour before he handed the live broadcast back to Lin Yu.

After setting up the mobile phone, he walked over to the little corner where Luo Yanran and Liu Ou were sitting.

Seeing that the two were really eating rice balls, mainly because they looked quite large.

He chuckled, "Haven't you guys eaten yet?"

Liu Ou looked up and greeted cheerfully, "Long time no see, we did eat, and we even asked grandma to make a small one, but it's still a tiny bit smaller than before."

Her tone was slightly pained, "I feel so stuffed now."

Luo Yanran straightforwardly stuffed the remaining rice ball into Xie Xiao's hand, "You eat."

Xie Xiao, who had just eaten a bellyful of snacks:

What else could he do? A man's got to pamper his own wife.

He muttered softly, "Actually, I'm also quite full."

But, facing her pleading eyes, he still shoved the rice ball into his mouth.

Liu Ou from across called out, "Hey hey, that's not fair! Haven't seen each other in so long, and you start flaunting your affection as soon as we meet?"

Her voice was laughing.

Xie Xiao noticed she looked a bit darker and had lost quite a bit of weight, but the smile on her face remained the same.

Still the same person who feels comfortable to be around.

"Don't you watch our live stream every day? Aren't you used to it?" Xie Xiao said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, many of my classmates are your fans," Liu Ou gave a thumbs up, "Pretty impressive."

Luo Yanran seemed somewhat embarrassed, "Ah, that's so awkward, good thing they don't know you know us."

"I dare not say it out loud, because if I do, then people will ask me every day whether you guys are real or not, and then I'll have to explain." She took a bite of the rice ball, clearly very stuffed, but still eating little by little.

Xie Xiao glanced at Lin Yu's back, then suddenly asked, "So what about you? Got a boy you like?"

Luo Yanran smiled, "I just asked her the same question."

Liu Ou sighed, "Is this your couple's telepathy? Honestly, no, and it's only the first semester of freshman year, there are so many fun things to do, why bother getting a boyfriend?"

She was still smiling as she spoke, but Xie Xiao still noticed her gaze drifting towards Lin Yu for a few seconds before quickly shifting away.

He thought, which girl comes every day to eat rice balls for no reason?

Maybe Liu Ou and Lin Yu really do have a chance.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Xie Xiao, treating it as a joke, mentioned what grandma had just said about Lin Yu turning down a girl, laughing, "Our Dr. Lin probably isn't too keen on dating either."

Luo Yanran glanced at Xie Xiao, knowing he did it on purpose.

But then she looked at her friend across, who was staring down at her rice ball with a smiling corner of her mouth, and sighed inwardly.

Actually, her thoughts were simple, quite idealistic too—like someone, just date them.

Why not work on it together? Both Liu Ou and Lin Yu were not the types to give up, but they had many concerns.

Of course, Luo Yanran also knew this had to do with their family and upbringing,

compared to her and Xie Xiao, who were more straightforward because they had smoother paths.

But Lin Yu and Liu Ou each had their family troubles.

She understood, but it was hard to watch them struggle on their own.

Luo Yanran couldn't help but frown slightly.

Looking at Xie Xiao.

Xie Xiao felt her gaze and met her eyes for a moment, then smiled.

Many things don't need too much talk, too much talk makes it too obvious.

Especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

The two of them never brought up that topic again; old friends who hadn't seen each other in a while always had endless topics to talk about.

As they ate and talked, Lin Yu found time to grab two cups of milk tea, yes, just two.

Xie Xiao was baffled, "But there are three of us."

"Why don't you two share one?" Lin Yu said righteously, yet stingily, "Don't waste."

Liu Ou laughed outright; she hardly interacted with Lin Yu.

Xie Xiao clicked his tongue and still took the milk tea while Luo Yanran's face blushed.

Then Lin Yu went back to help again.

Luo Yanran sighed, "He seems very busy and strained."

She didn't know whether to be happy or feel heartache for him.

Xie Xiao exhaled, "The business is doing really well, their family's debt is almost cleared."

Liu Ou glanced at the figures of the old and the young.

At just nineteen, in her life so far, she had met people unlike anyone else, including Lin Yu.

He was somewhat like a young poplar, standing straight even amidst intense storms.

Of course, she couldn't deny that her age was too young and the number of people she had met was too few; maybe she would meet more people of such character later.

But from within, Liu Ou felt that each person was unique. If it were someone else, at seventeen or eighteen, a debt of over two hundred thousand wouldn't just be repaid.

Wouldn't it drive someone insane?

His grandmother had really raised Lin Yu well; the firmness of young men always touched people, and it was because of meeting such guys.

Thus, even in college, she always compared other guys to Lin Yu.

Yet that was fundamentally unfair, Liu Ou knew, but she couldn't help it.

She shifted her gaze, only to meet Xie Xiao's amused look.

Liu Ou didn't feel shy but smiled at him.

Graceful and unreserved.

Xie Xiao hesitated, but eventually, he also returned a smile.

At ten-thirty, Lin Yu was sent over by his grandma because the rice balls were almost sold out.

He said goodbye to his live stream and ended the broadcast.

Just like when he was in third grade of high school, he sighed a relief and sat at the table, "Well, it's you, Xie Xiao; tonight's viewership was particularly high."

His voice was teasing, "Isn't it, little brother Xiao~"

Time seemed to suddenly rewind to countless Saturdays nights in the past, when they waited for Lin Yu to finish up in the corner, then the four would talk a bit before going home individually.

Xie Xiao said with a laugh, "Otherwise, our CP fans are almost catching up with me and Ranran."

Luo Yanran said with a laugh, "Then should I start getting jealous?"

"Don't, senior sister, I love women," Lin Yu said but then paused briefly, his head initially turning left, but he controlled it.

Liu Ou didn't talk much, just listened with a smile to the two guys teasing each other.

At eleven, her phone rang.

She answered a few words before hanging up, "I have to go now, my super busy dad is home, and he's asking where I went."

Now it was the time for late-night snacks, and more people were coming to eat.

At a nearby barbecue stall, there were already a few tables starting to drink.

Lin Yu stood up, "I'll walk you home. Lately, there have been more cases of bag snatching around here. Xie Xiao, be careful when you walk senior sister home."

Xie Xiao nodded, "Okay, you guys take care."

Liu Ou looked at Lin Yu and finally nodded, "Thanks for the trouble."
