Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Do Things That Couples Should Do

Xie Xiao fell silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.

Although the screen was pitch dark, the glow still let him see her silhouette, and even if he couldn't, he could probably guess that her face was surely blushing red at this moment.

So, playing along with her words, he said, "Right, so it's the cat again?"

Luo Yanran also fell silent for a while and then Xie Xiao heard her sigh slightly, with a hint of complaint in her small voice, "Xie Xiao, why are you like this..."

Xie Xiao reached out and touched the face on the screen, "What did I do? Isn't it you who wanted to watch me take a shower?"

In the end, he didn't dare to really behave outrageously, afraid of scaring her into hanging up the call.

It was still better to be somewhat restrained with a girlfriend he'd just gotten.

It really wasn't early anymore, and Xie Xiao felt he should let her sleep earlier, but the excitement in his body just wouldn't settle down. Even if he did nothing, just hearing her breathing from the other end made him happy.

It turns out that being in love really does make one do silly things.

"Are you going to sleep?" Xie Xiao asked gently.

From the other end came her soft hum, tender and coquettish, "I'm already lying down with the lights off."

Xie Xiao's heart felt tender, "Then go to sleep earlier, we'll meet tomorrow..."

He paused, his voice tinged with helplessness, "I'm a bit excited right now, it seems to have passed midnight, so we can meet today, can we make it earlier? Have lunch together?"

Luo Yanran listened to his long statement, her voice filled with joy, and the expression on her face kept smiling, her eyes even seemed to sparkle.

She stretched out her finger and gently touched the face on the screen, her boyfriend, ah, so handsome.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, the light from the phone screen illuminated her face, and Xie Xiao clearly saw the smile on her lips.

Then he heard her say, "Don't you need to sleep? How about 11:30 tomorrow? Let's set a place to meet, no need to come pick me up..."

Their conversation reminded them both of the crowded subway last time.

Xie Xiao felt a bit regretful, this time if they were on the subway he could hold her in his arms.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's not go to the bookstore, alright?" Xie Xiao said with a smile, looking at the face in the video, "Let's go on a date."

"You can have a date in a bookstore too..." Luo Yanran softly objected, "Does a date have to be in a specific place?"

But Xie Xiao laughed and nodded, "I want to go on a date with you and do some things couples do. Anyway, I'll make the plans for tomorrow, let's meet at the cultural center, okay?"

Xie Xiao thought for a moment and said, already having a plan in mind.

The things couples should do...

These words were somewhat ambiguous and definitely caused Luo Yanran's heart to start racing and her thoughts to fly chaotically.

She blinked, feeling that they couldn't continue the conversation, sensing that if they did, she wouldn't need to sleep tonight—although it seemed like she wouldn't need to sleep now anyway.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep, go take your shower and rest early," she said with a slightly muffled voice, "Goodnight."

Xie Xiao gently chirped, "You forgot to add a noun before saying goodnight, don't you think, girlfriend?"

Xie Xiao smiled as he watched the girl on the screen.

Luo Yanran knew that actually, they were separated by a phone and since she hadn't turned on the light, he couldn't see her clearly at all.

But she still felt both shy and at a loss.

That runaway kiss and the words "goodnight, boyfriend" were like her momentary burst of courage.

It disappeared after the allotted time...

She didn't dare to keep looking at the boy in the video, feeling that not only female demons could confuse one's mind.

Xie Xiao was the male demon confusing her mind, and she really had no bottom line with him.

Hurriedly, she said, "Goodnight."

Then she decisively hung up the call.

Xie Xiao clicked his tongue, indicating some regret.

It was a bit of a pity that his girlfriend seemed too shy to say the goodnight he had wanted to hear.

But he'd had enough surprises for the night, and one should always be content with what they have.

Xie Xiao sent her a message, "Goodnight, girlfriend."

Just as he was about to put down his phone, a reply came from her, "Goodnight, boyfriend."

It was accompanied by a kissy face emoji.

Hmm, she was quite proactive in sending texts.

Despite himself, Xie Xiao couldn't help but smile, as his girlfriend was such a sweetheart.

Just one sentence was enough to make him happy.

Xie Xiao put down his phone and went to take a shower.

After showering, feeling too excited to sleep, he thought, why not just edit the video?

As he was pondering this, he noticed his phone vibrating like it had been electrocuted.

Xie Xiao's leisurely pace quickened instantly as he picked it up and realized Lin Yu had bombarded him with a slew of messages, 99+…

Xie Xiao frowned as he opened them, only to find a stream of emojis…

Xie Xiao: ...Seriously! Is this guy sick or what?

As his racing heartbeat gradually calmed down, he gritted his teeth and sent a reply to Lin Yu, "You'd better have a good reason! I thought something happened!"

But when he checked the messages, all he could see was a barrage of various emojis.

All of them were insulting!

This guy was totally insane!

Lin Yu's phone call came through directly.

By the sound of it, he wasn't in his room; he was probably in the yard, "Xie Xiao, are you a dog?"

Taking a deep breath, Xie Xiao couldn't help but laugh out of irritation, "Lin Yu, are you sick? You call and send messages in the middle of the night just to insult me?"

"Not really, I just got more and more irritated the more I thought about it. You got a girlfriend just like that? Why you?" Lin Yu's tone was incredulous, "And if you're showing off to me, you're asking for a response, right? The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I couldn't sleep, so I replied to your messages…"

Even the ever-patient Xie Xiao was somewhat speechless, "Seriously, Lin Yu, are you actually sick?"

Lin Yu finally couldn't hold back his laughter, "Hahaha, don't be mad. I bet you can't sleep, right? First time in love? Excited? I'll keep you company for a bit."

Caught between laughter and exasperation, Xie Xiao retorted, "Fuck! Lin Yu, and you still have the nerve to call me a dog?"

"I wouldn't dare compare with you!" Lin Yu retorted without hesitation, and then added, "Congrats, man! Happy for you."

Xie Xiao wiped his hair casually and sat down on the bed, feeling a bit more relaxed, "And here I thought you were going to criticize me for being love-struck again!"

"You are, though," Lin Yu said matter-of-factly, "but after hearing some things from Liu Ou about Luo Yan, I suddenly felt it's actually quite nice that you two are together. At least, Luo Yan is a good person."

After finishing his thought, Lin Yu took the last drag from his cigarette and glanced at the moon that had just slipped behind the clouds.

He felt a bit of wistfulness; Xie Xiao had finally found a girl who liked him so much. He was really lucky.

Listening to Xie Xiao's silence on the other end, Lin Yu guessed that Xie Xiao would probably ask what he had heard.

Lin Yu picked up a can of cola and took a sip, with no intention of keeping secrets.

But when Xie Xiao finally spoke, his question was not what Lin Yu had anticipated, "Why did you stop calling Liu Ou 'Senior Sister'?"

Lin Yu: ...???

Frowning, he asked, "Xie Xiao, are you alright?" Sёarch* The Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
