Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Will Teacher Xiao Luo Take Care of Me?

Luo Zhoubai let out a pained howl, like something out of a TV drama, his expression tormented. "Xie bro! I treated you like a brother! How could you…"

The nearby boys giggled, "Come on, why not, both of you are god and goddess!"

"Perfect match!"

"You didn't dare to confess, so quit howling."

"Hahahaha~"

Finally, Xie Xiao consoled, barely meaning it, "I'll treat you to lunch, that should suffice!"

"Xie bro, we want in too!"

"Boohoo, I'm heartbroken too! The god and goddess are together now, a double whammy!"

Finally, driven crazy by their nagging, Xie Xiao agreed to treat them all to a meal, and the boys dispersed happily.

Xie Xiao was generous and quite popular in class.

Moreover, a meal in the cafeteria really wasn't that expensive, so treating them was feasible.

Zhou Mianmian withdrew her gaze, clenching the pen in her hand tightly, mad with jealousy. Xie Xiao really had gotten together with Luo Yanran!

Why, though!

She had clearly stated that anyone but Luo Yanran would do!

She should have been the one standing next to Xie Xiao, receiving everyone's blessings...

Each taunting cheer and mention of them being a good match was excruciatingly grating to her ears.

It made her eyes turn bright red.

Yan Shi just stood behind Zhou Mianmian at an angle, watching as her eyes reddened and tears seemed ready to fall at any moment.

He was holding the breakfast he had just bought.

Suddenly, he felt it was all so pointless. He had been giving so much, yet his girlfriend was always thinking about someone else.

He looked in Xie Xiao's direction. He had already sat down, head bowed as if working on his exam paper.

He knew he was no match for Xie Xiao. He was just picking up what Xie Xiao had discarded, getting his chance only when Zhou Mianmian was in a bind.

Otherwise, when would it ever be his turn?

Zhou Mianmian didn't even glance at him before...

"Yan Shi~" Zhou Mianmian's soft voice brought his attention back to her. He looked at her.

She flashed a smile, naturally reaching out to take the breakfast from his hand, "Thank you for buying me breakfast."

She set down the breakfast before asking, "Have you eaten?"

Yan Shi looked at her and nodded, "Yes."

He shifted his hand slightly, revealing a wrist wrapped in bandages from yesterday's basketball game.

Zhou Mianmian noticed, her expression a mix of pain and surprise as she grabbed his hand, "What happened to your hand?"

Her voice was filled with urgency, and her eyes reddened again.

Yan Shi thought, her eyes turn red so easily. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It made them seem cheap.

He pulled his hand back, "It's nothing, go ahead and eat."

Then he turned and returned to his seat.

Zhou Mianmian was startled, had he become colder?

Her gaze darkened, her mind filled with other thoughts.

Xie Xiao was in a good mood all day, and at noon, he took a group of classmates from the class boisterously to the cafeteria.

Of course, he had informed Luo Yanran in advance that he couldn't accompany her for lunch.

When back at school, Teacher Luo was quite cool, not clingy at all.

She merely replied with an OK.

But unexpectedly, they ran into each other in the cafeteria.

Under Li Hua's lead, the boys from the class shouted in unison, "Hello Sister-in-Law! Thanks for the meal, Xie bro!"

The triple "Xie" directly made Xie Xiao unable to hold back a laugh, "You guys aren't tongue-tied, huh!"

The usually expressionless Luo Yanran, embarrassed by their shouting, glanced at Xie Xiao and pulled Liu Ou away.

Lin Yu, standing to the side, said speechlessly, "You lot are like Black Society!"

The group of boys laughed and chuckled.

Xie Xiao watched her somewhat flustered figure and laughed, but still warned them, "Stop messing around, don't scare your sister-in-law."

A group of boys then let out a strange cheer.

Luo Yanran turned her head when she heard the noise and saw Xie Xiao surrounded by classmates.

She had seen Xie Xiao from this angle many times before, his back, his profile, always surrounded by a bunch of friends.

For a moment, she was a bit dazed.

It was Liu Ou who laughed and said, "Call her sister-in-law~"

Luo Yanran sat down with her, her face still flushed with red, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Ou found her reaction funny and cute, pinched her face, and said, "So adorable~"

Luo Yanran unconsciously smiled and took out her phone to send Xie Xiao an emoji of getting beaten up.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xiao replied quickly with an emoji of kneeling down, crying out "Wife, I was wrong."

This caused the redness that had just faded from Luo Yanran's delicate face to creep back up.

Who is his wife!

I'm ignoring this guy!

After waiting a while without a reply, Xie Xiao guessed she was probably embarrassed.

He looked around but couldn't spot anything as the dining area was too crowded at the time.

It was Lin Yu who patted him and said, "Stop looking, you fool."

Lin Yu didn't understand his high-profile behavior but still respected it.

After all, he could somewhat understand that Xie Xiao was probably a bit neurotic from Zhou Mianmian's previous ambiguous attitude.

And since neither the male nor female protagonist had any objections, he naturally had none either.

But inviting a crowd for a meal was beyond what Lin Yu had expected.

Some of them he wasn't even familiar with.

Truly a wasteful young master.

Xie Xiao glanced at the balance in his bank account, feeling okay.

He had topped up a good amount of money into his card previously, and hadn't used it all last semester.

He had topped it up again this semester.

So now it was quite sufficient.

He followed his classmates to a spot that was reserved earlier and sat down.

Lin Yu whispered, "I checked the data this morning, there were about 400 comments and over a thousand likes, how good is that?"

Xie Xiao hadn't really checked, and after pondering Lin Yu's question, he said, "Not great, not terrible, I guess. We're just starting, let's take it slow."

Maybe one day we'll hit the jackpot.

This kind of thing can't be rushed.

Lin Yu nodded, actually quite anxious about whether this would work out.

But Xie Xiao's live stream last night gave him a bit of confidence.

Maybe they really could make some money.

Xie Xiao probably knew he was nervous, so he smiled to reassure him.

Amid the noisy surroundings, somehow the topic shifted to Zhou Mianmian and Yan Shi, "Heard they are together now?"

Someone cautiously glanced at Xie Xiao and nudged the person who started the topic, "What are you talking about, just eat."

But Xie Xiao didn't react at all, he hadn't even heard what they were saying.

This relieved the person who brought up the topic.

They thought, even if Xie Xiao used to like Zhou Mianmian, now that he had Luo Yanran, who would still remember Zhou Mianmian?

Actually, Xie Xiao hadn't noticed because he thought the Ms. Luo who had been ignoring him had sent him a dry message.

[Do you still have money for food?]

Just this one line, seemingly dry.

Yet it made Xie Xiao smile.

He tapped a few times on his phone, watched as he typed halfway, then suddenly deleted everything.

Then, as Luo Yanran, who was just about to leave after finishing her meal, received a message.

[I'm broke, Ms. Luo, will you support me?]
