Chapter 79: Chapter 79: You Have Privileges with Teacher Xiao Luo

Luo Yanran also returned his glance.

Her heart was still happy about that tiny bit of tacit understanding just now.

People who have just fallen in love always find satisfaction so easily.

Liu Ou, sitting across from them, had a smile in her eyes and a faint sense of envy, but eventually, she looked away.

That's when she met Lin Yu's gaze, which caught her off guard, and she immediately raised an eyebrow.

Then she noticed Lin Yu quickly avert his eyes in slight panic.

Liu Ou watched him for a while before she also turned her gaze away, unable to prevent a slight frown from forming on her brow.

The grandmother was quick at cooking, and neither Liu Ou nor Luo Yanran had really asked Lin Yu to buy anything too complicated or difficult to prepare.

Dinner was going to be ready soon, and it was rare for the house to be so lively; it was clear that the elderly lady was truly happy.

She said cheerfully, "Usually, it's only Xie Xiao who comes over for meals occasionally, and sometimes his parents come too. At other times, there aren't many guests, so make yourselves at home. However you like it is fine, come and see if you enjoy my cooking, and remember to visit often if you do..."

Lin Yu found it a bit amusing. "You talk in such long stretches, grandma, they haven't even had a chance to react."

He said this and served her a piece of taro before everyone else started using their chopsticks.

Liu Ou cheerfully raised her hand, "Grandma, I'll come often! I live close by!"

Lin Yu looked at her, showing no trace of gloom on his face, as if the family matters really didn't affect her.

Lin Yu quietly picked up a piece of chicken and didn't say anything.

Xie Xiao, however, noticed the kid's distraction.

After serving Luo Yanran some food, he was still contemplating that he'd need to coax his girlfriend later, even though she seemed to be no longer angry.

But since he had done something wrong, he knew he had to keep a good attitude when apologizing.

After the meal, Lin Yu went to help the grandmother set up her street stall, and Xie Xiao had to go home to get his equipment; he had intentionally prepared extra for tonight with the firm intention of having a successful broadcast.

Liu Ou waved to Xie Xiao, "I'm going to help out at the stall with grandma and the others. Luoluo, are you going back with Xie Xiao? It's not far, right?"

Luo Yanran glanced at Xie Xiao.

Xie Xiao also looked at her. He didn't dare to insist, merely asking, "Do you want to come with me? It's just a few bus stops, and there's no one on the bus at this hour."

He was still very thankful to Liu Ou inside, realizing that she was creating an opportunity for them to be alone.

Luo Yanran hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded, "I'll wait for you downstairs at your place."

"No need, there's no one at home," Xie Xiao said somewhat joyfully. He looked towards Lin Yu, "Then we'll head back first and come find you guys later."

Lin Yu and Liu Ou waved goodbye to them.

Luo Yanran looked at Liu Ou and asked, "Are you really okay?"

"What could be wrong? Go on, we'll see each other again shortly," Liu Ou said with a smile.

Luo Yanran hesitated for a moment but still waved goodbye to them and followed Xie Xiao to say farewell to the grandmother before they both left the courtyard.

As soon as Xie Xiao reached the courtyard gate, he reached out to hold her hand.

Luo Yanran glanced at him but didn't pull away in the end.

A smile tugged at the corners of Xie Xiao's mouth uncontrollably.

Suddenly, Luo Yanran spoke up, "Aren't we being too obvious? Do you think grandma could tell?"

Xie Xiao hummed in response, glancing at her, "Grandma probably figured it out a long time ago."

He said with a smile, "The old lady is very emotionally intelligent, why do you think she didn't ask just now? She's not worried either."

Luo Yanran was taken aback, stopping in her tracks and looking at Xie Xiao, her voice rising slightly, "She knows? She could tell?"

"Yeah, grandma's emotional intelligence is much higher than Lin Yu's. She's really sharp," Xie Xiao said while swinging their joined hands. "Is Miss Luo still upset? I'm sorry, it was my fault."

His apology was especially sincere.

Luo Yanran glanced at him, meeting his somewhat pitiful gaze, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This person seemed to be very good at using his advantages!

She pursed her lips and moved her gaze away without making eye contact with him.

The bus stop was very close to Lin Yu's house, just a two-minute walk, and the bus arrived just as they reached the platform.

Xie Xiao could only take her with him onto the bus first.

As Xie Xiao had said, there weren't many people on the bus at this time.

After the two of them chose seats at the back of the bus and sat down, Xie Xiao heard her say, "Anyway, Hai Ou doesn't care, this matter is past."

Xie Xiao asked, "What about you? I'm apologizing because I asked Lin Yu to deliberately bump into you."

He sighed, "I thought about it later, if I were in your shoes, I'd be furious. I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have used my concern as an excuse for doing that. You must have been very uncomfortable, right?"

Liu Ou had just said that her mind was sensitive, so she must have felt offended.

Luo Yanran didn't respond immediately.

Xie Xiao was right, she did feel quite offended, and she was also a bit conflicted and awkward inside, but even though she was offended, she couldn't bear to be angry with him.

Luo Yanran always thought she was an awkward person, nothing like Liu Ou's sunny and cheerful personality. This temperament wasn't very appealing.

She also wasn't too keen on letting Xie Xiao see this side of her.

So now she felt even more awkward.

Xie Xiao, seeing that she wasn't speaking, didn't rush her, but simply reached out and took her hand instead.

Usually, this part of the ride wasn't too long, but it felt especially short today, and they quickly arrived at their stop.

Xie Xiao, with Luo Yanran in tow, got off the bus and entered the residential complex.

Xie Xiao's community was quite nice; they had moved there when he was in his first year of high school. With one parent a doctor and the other a teacher, his family's financial condition was quite good.

As Luo Yanran watched him press the elevator button, she couldn't help but say, "I'd rather not go up, I'll wait for you downstairs."

Xie Xiao glanced at her, "There's no one at my place, my mom is on duty, and my dad has gone to play chess."

He looked at her hesitant expression and smiled slightly, "Afraid I'll do something? Then it's fine, you can wait for me downstairs, I'll be down quickly."

Luo Yanran wasn't expecting him to say that and quickly shook her head, "It's not that, I just think it would be very awkward to run into your parents."

Xie Xiao just smiled and nodded, "Alright, then I'll be down quickly."

Watching his smile, Luo Yanran felt he didn't believe her words, but she really wasn't afraid of Xie Xiao doing anything to her...

She bit her lip and said softly, "I'll go up with you. It won't take long anyway."

The elevator "ding-donged" as it arrived.

Xie Xiao glanced at her and said, "Don't force yourself, it's okay."

But Luo Yanran stepped into the elevator first, looking at Xie Xiao.

Xie Xiao sighed. He honestly had no such intentions.

It just didn't seem right to have her wait alone downstairs.

Seeing her like this, he could only step into the elevator as well and then pressed the button for the eighth floor.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

The two stood side by side without speaking.

Xie Xiao hesitated for a moment, thinking of breaking the silence.

Then he heard Luo Yanran start to speak, "I indeed felt uncomfortable, but not as angry as you think, Xie Xiao, you always have privileges with me."

Her tone was filled with reluctance and a sigh, her voice becoming very soft, "Who asked me to like you so much."

The "ding-dong" of the elevator melded with the sound of Xie Xiao's heartbeat.
