Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Won't You Blow for Me?

Luo Yanran, having been discovered, no longer hid the truth, "Are you hurt?"

Xie Xiao simply extended his hand, "Yes."

Because of the fight, his knuckles were somewhat swollen, "I got swollen from hitting someone."

Luo Yanran couldn't help but lightly frown at the sight of the redness.

Xie Xiao's hands were long and attractive, even a hint of redness on the joints seemed somewhat unsightly.

She raised her hand and wanted to touch it but hesitated a little.

Xie Xiao, however, said with a smile, "Won't you blow on it for me?"

Luo Yanran's face turned red, and she glanced at him, "This is school."

Xie Xiao nodded, "Hmm, I understand, then outside of school you'll blow on it for me."

"I didn't mean..." Luo Yanran tried to argue that wasn't what she meant, but facing his expectant look, she just couldn't say it.

She gave up; she couldn't argue with him anyway.

Seeing that she didn't object, Xie Xiao was in a good mood.

As they walked side by side, Xie Xiao asked, "Aren't you curious why I got into a fight?"

"Whoever triggered you to the point of physical action must have done something, was it because of Lin Yu or someone else?" Luo Yanran asked directly.

Xie Xiao chuckled softly, "It's a bit of everything. It seems that a lot of people know about Lin Yu's issues. And those people, I don't know if they have holes in their brains, they just came out of nowhere to provoke me. Just so happened I was in a bad mood, so I took action."

He added, "I promise I don't have a tendency towards violence."

The latter statement was so sincere that Luo Yanran laughed outright, "I know."

A person who throws sausages to stray dogs, how bad could he be?

Xie Xiao said with a smile, "I knew you'd know. Ranran, I dreamt about you last night."

Thinking of that blurry dream, Xie Xiao's eyes lit up.

In fact, dreams are often things you forget upon waking, but this dream was clearly etched in Xie Xiao's mind.

It wasn't that the entire dream was clear, just most of it.

He touched his ear wondering why he brought it up in the first place.

Sure enough, Luo Yanran became somewhat curious, "You dreamt about me? What did you dream about?"

"Dreamt about tutoring," Xie Xiao said vaguely.

Luo Yanran didn't think much of it, assuming it was after-effects from studying together the night before, "So you still want to do video study sessions with me? Even in your dreams, there's tutoring."

Xie Xiao thought to himself that this kind of tutoring wasn't a bad idea...

But he couldn't say that out loud.

He cleared his throat gently, "Yes, the efficiency is high when we video call. Seeing you gives me motivation. Where are you planning to go for university entrance exams?"

Luo Yanran was silent for a moment, "I should be heading to Jing City."

Xie Xiao wasn't surprised; with Luo Yanran's grades, going to Jing City wouldn't be difficult.

He glanced at her, "Then, your scores from last year should be enough."

Luo Yanran smiled, "Are you going around in circles to ask me why I repeated the year?"

Xie Xiao, having been figured out, didn't pretend otherwise, "Yes, because I really want to know."

Luo Yanran turned to look at him, "If it were you, I might tell you, but not now. After the exams... I'll tell you after the exams."

Xie Xiao thought for a moment. Less than three months wasn't too long to wait, so he nodded, "Deal, and after the exams, I have something I want to tell you too."

Luo Yanran's heart skipped a beat. What did he want to tell her?

She didn't ask. Since it was something to be said after the exams, she would wait. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But Xie Xiao sighed, "Why don't you ask? If you had asked, I could tell you now. I have no principles when it comes to you."

Luo Yanran's eyes sparkled, yet she still shook her head, "Surprises need to be anticipated to be surprising."

Xie Xiao laughed as well.

The two went to the noodle shop they visited before, but this time it was a bit more crowded.

They had to wait for two tables before it was their turn.

With the crowd being so large, many people saw them.

Rumors had been floating around that Xie Xiao had been getting close with Senior Luo.

The video from last night's late-night food street even caught the two of them together, is this the definitive proof?

The spectators are still numerous, relieving the boredom of their studies only by gossiping.

Quite a few people had already started to take out their phones and discuss it with friends.

Both Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran were oblivious to this, and naturally, they didn't care.

Even if they knew, let people say what they want to say, there's nothing to deny.

Xie Xiao did, indeed, look like he was together with Luo Yanran. Now, all that was needed was to stop randomly linking Zhou Mianmian to him.

But as luck would have it.

The table next to them where they sat down was occupied by Zhou Mianmian and a guy from Class 8.

Xie Xiao genuinely couldn't remember the guy's name.

By the time they entered, Zhou Mianmian and her company had almost finished eating.

The boy from Class 8 initiated a conversation with a smile.

Zhou Mianmian also responded in a soft voice, appearing to get along quite harmoniously.

Luo Yanran glanced at Xie Xiao, who showed no reaction and was looking down at his phone. After sitting down, he asked, "Are we having the signature dish today?"

Luo Yanran flashed a smile, "No, I want to try something else."

From the moment they entered, Zhou Mianmian's gaze had been fixed on them, and at this point, seeing that the two had not looked at her,

the smile on Luo Yanran's face seemed to bother her.

Why did Xie Xiao have to do this, wasn't it said that anyone but Luo Yanran was okay?

Why was Xie Xiao still with her?

And to be seen by so many people?

The Class 8 boy followed her gaze and saw Xie Xiao.

He frowned slightly; in his view, his relationship with Zhou Mianmian was currently ambiguous. Zhou Mianmian had been having meals with him every day recently, so she must have had a favorable impression of him.

He had heard before that she was clinging to Xie Xiao, but he didn't believe it.

He thought it was just others stirring up trouble.

After all, Mianmian had said many times that she had nothing to do with Xie Xiao.

But now, looking at the look in her eyes...

The boy frowned slightly and called out, "Mianmian, are you full?"

Zhou Mianmian turned her head to look at him, revealing a smile, "I'm full, let's go back."

Saying so, she stood up first.

The boy hesitated, his living expenses were not plentiful to begin with, and he had nearly run out after frequently treating Zhou Mianmian to meals.

Initially, he had hoped that by coming out to eat today, and with the QR code on the table, perhaps she would offer to pay or at least suggest going Dutch.

But it seemed like she had no intention of paying.

The boy had no choice but to scan the QR code to pay, leaving only 3 yuan in his account, not even enough for breakfast the next day.

However, Zhou Mianmian did not notice the boy's expression.

She couldn't help but keep looking at Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran, yet neither of them spared her an additional glance.

Finally, she left with a cold face.

The boy quickly followed behind her.

After Xie Xiao scanned the QR code, he handed the phone to Luo Yanran, "Order something."

Luo Yanran had just taken the phone when a friend request notification popped up.

The message attached read, "Why do you have to be with Luo Yan..."

Luo Yan felt embarrassed and handed the phone back to Xie Xiao, "I'll order from here, you have a message."

Xie Xiao paused for a moment then took the phone to check.

It was Zhou Mianmian again. Is she insane?
