Chapter 64: Chapter 64 I like you, please go out with me.

Xie Xiao looked at Luo Yanran and couldn't help but laugh, "I like you, but it seems like you've stolen my line."

Luo Yanran's heart finally settled down.

Ever since that kiss in the movie, she had been thinking that the sequence of events in her relationship with Xie Xiao seemed out of order.

Shouldn't it have been confession, then holding hands, followed by a kiss?

But it seemed they had skipped the confession part altogether.

Probably because everything today had gone too smoothly.

The atmosphere was too good, it had been too long since they'd seen each other, and all these factors combined seemed to have made them forget their previous agreement to take things slow.

They had leapt directly to a qualitative leap.

Still, Luo Yanran felt somewhat uneasy inside; she wanted to make up for that overlooked step,

but she couldn't quite grasp what Xie Xiao was thinking.

It wasn't until Xie Xiao apologized that she suddenly felt a flutter of panic. Could it be that Xie Xiao regretted it?

So she took the initiative to ask if he liked her.

When she heard his response, her high-strung and anxious heart officially settled down.

Looking at the smile on Xie Xiao's face, her eyes blinked, "But I waited all the way and you never brought it up..."

Gathering her courage, she took a deep breath and asked, "So, are we together now?"

She lowered her gaze, not daring to look at Xie Xiao, "We held hands, and, we kissed..."

Xie Xiao finally understood what it felt like to be walking down the street and get hit by a lottery ticket out of the blue, winning 500W.

He looked at Luo Yanran, took a deep breath, "Actually, this isn't the best setting, I haven't prepared anything, I'm even still in my school uniform... but I still want to say, Luo Yanran, I like you, please go out with me!"

Luo Yanran's hands were clasped in front of her, nervously twisting, but when she heard his words, all her fidgeting ceased.

Her gaze shifted from the shadow on the ground to its owner, her eyes still holding a trace of timidity.

She was a rather proud girl, but when it came to liking Xie Xiao, she had always felt insecure.

But the earnest look on the face of the boy in front of her, waiting for her answer, suddenly filled Luo Yanran with boundless courage.

A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Her already delicate and beautiful face came to life, "Okay."

Her voice was not loud, but in the empty alleyway, it was still very clear and bright.

Xie Xiao's suspended heart finally dropped, giving way to immense joy.

Although he knew she liked him, actually hearing her agree to be with him still seemed unbelievable.

Xie Xiao took a deep breath, "I feel like I should do something now, but I'm a bit nervous."

He opened his arms to Luo Yanran, "Can I hug you?"

Luo Yanran glanced at him, then slowly walked over and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Her movements were awkward and green, as Xie Xiao brought his outstretched arms back in, gently tightening his embrace around the slender form of the girl.

A weight gradually settled against his chest.

Luo Yanran rested her face against Xie Xiao's heart, hearing his heartbeat that was as fierce as her own.

She felt like everything today was somewhat surreal. Discover new chapters on m_vlem,pyr

Were she and Xie Xiao really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship now?

It wasn't until this moment, when Xie Xiao truly held her in his arms, that he felt truly alive.

In the time since his rebirth, he had occasionally doubted whether it was all just a dream. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He feared waking up one day to find himself still lying on that hospital bed, without the girl named Luo Yanran by his side.

But, holding her now, that feeling finally vanished.

The girl's body was soft and still warm.

Right now, she obediently let him hold her in his arms.

The two embraced under the street light, and their shadows displayed an unprecedented closeness.

Violent heartbeats and the unique affection reserved for young lovers.

"My foot is numb…" Luo Yanran said somewhat embarrassedly. She guessed it was because she had been standing too tensely, and the numbness became unbearable, so she spoke up softly.

Xie Xiao chuckled lightly and slightly loosened his hold on her.

Looking down, he saw her flushed cheeks and her big, fluttering eyes that glanced at Xie Xiao before quickly looking away.

Xie Xiao sighed, "It's my first love, and now I don't even know what to do."

He added softly, "But I want to be with you."

After speaking, Xie Xiao squatted down, reached out to gently touch her calf, and heard her inhale sharply. Then a soft little hand with strength rested on his shoulder, "Don't touch, it's numb…"

Her voice was soft and tender, with a hint of pleading.

Xie Xiao only felt that the skin in his hand was delicate and warm, a bit like that warm jade he once touched at his grandfather's house.

But he knew it wasn't. It was the pair of slim, lustrous legs he couldn't stop his gaze from lingering on tonight, just as delicate and radiant as he imagined.

He gently kneaded them, and the girl took a sharp breath, but bit her lip softly, making no sound.

Her big watery eyes filled with pleading, looking pitiful yet somehow inviting mischief.

Now, it wasn't just Xie Xiao's heart beating faster; he even felt his blood start to boil.

The weather seemed to have suddenly heated up, although it was already evening, and he felt like he might start to sweat.

He quickly averted his gaze and retracted his hand, his palms lightly coming together, "You stomp your feet yourself, I won't touch you."

Speaking made him realize his voice was already a bit hoarse.

Xie Xiao felt somewhat embarrassed and a little awkward.

After all, he was an eighteen-year-old boy, and impulses always came on suddenly.

He sat there on the ground and didn't move. Luo Yanran supported herself on his shoulder and stomped her feet a few times, the tingling sensation really quite bothersome.

She bit her lip and endured it.

Finally, her foot was no longer numb.

She let out a gentle breath and let go of Xie Xiao's shoulder.

She said a bit embarrassedly, "I'm fine now, you can get up."

At that moment, she still thought Xie Xiao hadn't stood up just to make it easier for her to stamp her feet.

In reality, Xie Xiao was feeling quite tormented inside and didn't dare to stand up.

Although the school uniform pants were pretty loose, he was still afraid of being discovered, probably would be seen as a hooligan, right?

He bit his teeth and chuckled bitterly, "Now my foot is numb."

He couldn't possibly say he wanted to sit and calm down for a bit, could he?

Luo Yanran, however, was somewhat worried and reached to help pull his arm up, "You get up and stomp your feet."

At the same time, she found it somewhat amusing; after all, who just confesses their feelings to each other and ends up in as awkward a situation as they did?

A smile she couldn't control appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Because of her proximity, Xie Xiao clearly smelled her fragrance again, light and pleasant.

But at that moment, it was somewhat torturous for him.

He sighed, "I think it's better I don't stand up right now, otherwise it will be very embarrassing for both of us. And also, Ranran, it might be better for you to stand a little further away."

Luo Yanran stood there stunned, asking with some confusion, "Why?"
