Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Teacher Xiao Luo, Who Throws Straight Balls, Can't Defend

Xie Xiao had considered countless possible answers from her, but had never anticipated such a direct pitch?

He stopped in his tracks and for a moment doubted whether he had misheard.

Liu Ou ahead of them had already walked far away. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He reached out to grab Luo Yanran's hand, "What did you just say? Say it again?"

Luo Yanran didn't look at him, probably feeling embarrassed, but she didn't shake off his hand either and simply said, "Good words won't be repeated."

With that, she continued walking forward.

Xie Xiao didn't let go of her hand, gently holding her wrist and curling his lips into a smile.

The people around them were quite numerous, and from time to time someone would pass by. His voice carried happiness, "Actually, I heard you. You said you missed me."

He looked at the girl's porcelain-white face; even a hint of red was quite noticeable, just like now.

Really beautiful.

Luo Yanran felt that she was being somewhat melodramatic. The words had impulsively slipped out just moments ago, but now she began to feel shy hearing Xie Xiao repeat them.

Her face reddened, and looking ahead, she really didn't know where to go.

Where was Granny's stall again?

At this moment, her heart was beating fast, and the wrist held by Xie Xiao even felt hot to the touch.

She wanted to check her own heartbeat, but thought the action would be too obvious.

Your adventure continues with m_v_l_e_m_p_y_r

She heard Xie Xiao say with a smile, "I miss you too, every single day."

Neither of them mentioned letting go of the other's hand.

It wasn't until they saw Granny's stall that Xie Xiao reluctantly let go, "We're here."

Luo Yanran looked at her hand that had been freed, only noticing it could feel the breeze when it made contact with the air.

She finally turned to look at Xie Xiao, really wanting to ask him how his exam went.

But Liu Ou sitting at the table had already started waving at them.

There was already a queue forming in front of Granny's stall, where several young girls were watching her make rice balls, giggling and chirping about how much they missed her rice balls, lamenting that Granny hadn't set up her stall for the past days.

Lin Yu was standing by the side, assisting. The tall young man's face was expressionless.

But Xie Xiao still saw one of the girls blushing at him.

Luo Yanran let out a breath, "Will you be very late tonight?"

Xie Xiao looked away, a bit apologetic, "I have to help Lin Yu with his live streaming tonight, so I probably won't be early."

Luo Yanran nodded without saying much more,

"Luoluo~ come on," Liu Ou's voice called out.

Luo Yanran said softly, "I'll go over there now."

Xie Xiao responded, "I'll come too, won't be of help, but I'll avoid adding to the chaos."

Then he saw Luo Yanran's lips curve slightly.

Happy to stay a bit longer.

As soon as the two sat down, Liu Ou stuffed a rice ball into Luo Yanran's hands, "Granny made a deluxe version, Xie Xiao you haven't eaten?"

Xie Xiao shook his head, "No, I already ate, at Granny's house. You guys go ahead, did none of you eat dinner?"

"I haven't eaten, Luoluo probably has, right?" Liu Ou asked while eating.

Luo Yanran nodded, "I ate a little, didn't dare eat too much to save room for the late-night snack with you."

Liu Ou leaned in with a smile, resting her face on Luo Yanran's shoulder, "I knew Luoluo was the best."

At that moment, Xie Xiao felt a bit envious. The most he ever did with Teacher Luo was holding hands.

It's great to be best friends.

Xie Xiao went off to buy them two drinks.

When he returned, the line was even longer, and he even spotted some students from their class, as well as those who often played basketball together.

Xie Xiao knew immediately what was going on.

When those people saw Xie Xiao, they greeted him with a smile, "Yo, is Brother Xie here for rice balls too?"

Xie Xiao, however, smiled and said, "That won't do, I'm here to watch you guys eat."

While speaking, he called out to Grandma's side, "Lin Yu, Grandma, there are a few big eaters over here!"

The few boys laughed and cursed, "Hey, get lost! We don't eat that much!"

"Hey, don't let Lin Yu find out, we wanted to give him a surprise!"

Lin Yu looked up and saw many familiar faces, he felt his eyes getting a bit warm.

Grandma looked a bit startled, then glanced at her grandson, somewhat hesitant.

Did he mind being seen by so many classmates?

All they heard Lin Yu curse under his breath, then say, "Grandma, those few lads can really eat, later I'll charge them an extra two bucks!"

"Hey, we have clear and fair pricing, Grandma!" Grandma came back to her senses and said with a laugh.

The boys standing in line said with a grin, "Grandma, you can raise the prices, it's too cheap now!"

"No way, it's not right to raise prices just because you guys like it..."

Xie Xiao returned to the table with drinks in hand.

Liu Ou had already finished the huge rice ball, and Luo Yanran, probably because she had dinner not long ago, really couldn't finish hers and left a little half.

At this moment, Liu Ou looked at the people in line and said, "It seems Lin Yu is quite popular in school, huh?"

"Not bad, just that he sometimes has a temper. He has many friends, but there are also many who are annoyed by him." Xie Xiao put the popped-open milk tea next to Luo Yanran, but saw her wave her hand and pat her stomach, she really couldn't eat anymore.

Xie Xiao found it somewhat amusing.

Liu Ou, on the other hand, noticed it and asked deliberately, "Why aren't you helping me pop mine too?"

While speaking, she even made faces at the two of them.

Xie Xiao just smiled and ultimately didn't reach out to pop the milk tea for her.

Luo Yanran, however, was straightforward, taking it and popping it open before putting it right to her mouth, "Cut the chatter, miss."

Liu Ou took a sip from her hand, then smiled as she took it, "Fine, I'll shut up! I'm going to see how Grandma makes the rice balls."

Saying this, she stood up excitedly and walked over.

At this time, Xie Xiao heaved a sigh, "I'm so envious of senior Liu Ou."

Luo Yanran looked at him, puzzled.

Xie Xiao met her gaze, smiled and said, "She got to lean on your shoulder, and even got the milk tea you handed to her lips."

After speaking, he looked at Luo Yanran full of expectation, almost as if the words "feed me" were written on his face.

Luo Yanran understood.

Her lips moved slightly as she said softly, "Xie Xiao, has anyone ever told you that you're really good at pushing your luck?"

Xie Xiao, propping up his chin, looked at her, "Yeah, you just said it. So, Teacher Luo, may I?"

May I get more exceptions and push my luck with you?

Luo Yanran faced him, their eyes met.

The boy's gaze didn't waver and was always smiling.

In the end, she was the one to capitulate, shifting her gaze away.

Xie Xiao laughed even happier, as though the gloom from the exams had disappeared.

Actually, it didn't seem so regrettable even without a reward.

Because Teacher Luo was different towards him now, just thinking about it seemed to make it all worth it.

Xie Xiao was comforting himself with these thoughts.

When he heard Luo Yanran say softly, "You may."

Xie Xiao was taken aback.

So, Teacher Luo, may I push my luck?

You may.

Xie Xiao watched as she picked up the milk tea he had just opened and handed it over to him.

Then it stopped in front of his lips.
