Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Teacher Xiao Luo Declares Sovereignty

When they arrived, they found that there were already six or seven people inside, all of whom they usually got along well with.

Li Hua and the others were already grouped up and playing a game when they saw Xie Xiao and the others come in and shouted, "Xie bro, Yu bro, come and play cards with them."

One of the guys sitting on the bed hey-ed, "We're short one for Landlords! Not Xie bro, he can count cards. Yu bro, come on over!"

Xie Xiao was speechless, "Then why did you call me here?"

Lin Yu laughed as well, "To be a mascot, perhaps."

The tone was indeed a rare kind of relaxed.

Xie Xiao punched him and really did pull up a chair to sit and watch them play cards.

He didn't really want to play anyway; beating a bunch of noobs wasn't satisfying.

From time to time, he glanced at Lin Yu's cards and then replying to his girlfriend's messages wasn't bad either.

But on the other side, as Li Hua and the others were playing their game, one of the guys suddenly chuckled, "Right, I just heard some gossip."

"What is it?" Li Hua replied, "Damn, Fatty, how did you die again!"

"Sorry, the mention of gossip got me excited!" Fatty clicked to respawn, "So what's the gossip?"

"On my way here, I passed by Yan Shi's group's room, the door wasn't locked, and I overheard them talking about first blood..." The guy clicked his tongue, lowering his voice even more, "Anyway, from what I gathered, it seems Zhou Mianmian..."

A few guys turned to look at Xie Xiao, unable to help it, it was a reflex.

Xie Xiao was indeed watching the guy who was talking.

Li Hua hey-ed, "Maybe they're talking about playing games?"

The atmosphere turned a bit heavy, and the guy chuckled a few times, "Maybe..."

He paused, "But it really doesn't seem like it, they're definitely not talking about playing games..."

"I guess it's the couple's own business; there's a lot of this kind of thing. Why worry so much?" said one of the guys in front of Lin Yu, playing the little joker absentmindedly, "Aren't the two of them dating?"

"Right, for all we know, the couple might have agreed on something."

"Single dogs always fussing over others' affairs..."

Lin Yu tapped Xie Xiao, "Milk tea is here, can you take my turn?"

"No! Don't let Xie bro take it!" several guys shouted, "Let him go get the milk tea!"

Xie Xiao was speechless, "Am I that terrifying? Fine, I've been ostracized; I'll get it."

Xie Xiao tilted his head at Lin Yu, "Phone."

Lin Yu handed Xie Xiao the phone.

Xie Xiao took it and went downstairs.

As he walked out the door, he couldn't help but frown slightly, but then he relaxed.

Indeed, it wasn't their place to get involved in a couple's affairs.

When he reached the first floor, he found that there were indeed several delivery guys, and it took calling back from Lin Yu's phone to find the right one.

As he turned around, he saw Zhou Mianmian standing at the front desk.

The front desk handed her a room card.

Xie Xiao curled the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and headed for the elevator.

He didn't dwell on the matter any further.

He took the milk tea back to their room first; otherwise, with that crowd, the straws might have ended up swallowed whole.

Luo Yanran and her class had also arrived downstairs by now.

Xie Xiao thought about returning the phone to Lin Yu first; taking care of the girlfriend's check-in before going to look for her.

He deliberately sent her a message, "Our room is on the ninth floor."

The hint being that little teacher Luo could also come find room nine if she wanted to, mainly for convenience.

As Xie Xiao sent the message and walked out, he hadn't expected to see Zhou Mianmian.

Xie Xiao's room was at the end of the corridor, belonging to the same class, and Zhou Mianmian had seen the class leader's message in the class group chat so it wasn't odd for her to know their room number.

But Xie Xiao hadn't expected her to be waiting here for him. seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Xie Xiao," Zhou Mianmian's voice rang out just as Xie Xiao had seen the message from Teacher Luo saying they were handling the check-in information.

Teasingly and smugly, Xie Xiao had sent a message, "I'm waiting for you alone in room 908, Teacher Luo. Shy.jpg"

When he heard Zhou Mianmian's voice he looked up and saw her standing at the end of the hallway, near the door to the emergency exit.

"Is something the matter?" Xie Xiao asked.

Zhou Mianmian looked at his expressionless face, bit her lip, and really wanted to ask, can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong?

But she also knew that Xie Xiao wasn't the same Xie Xiao who used to dote on her unconditionally anymore.

Thinking this, her eyes reddened again.

Unable to hold back, she asked in a low voice, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Then you'll have to make it quick, I have to go pick up my girlfriend," Xie Xiao said without much expression.

"Xie Xiao, do you really not like me at all anymore?" Zhou Mianmian's eyes became very red, "Yan Shi is not nice to me at all, he..."

"Wait a minute. I'm not going to mediate your relationship," Xie Xiao interrupted her, "How your relationship goes is really none of my business, and I feel it's a waste of time even listening to it."

The sound from the elevator was heard on the other side, and Xie Xiao was getting impatient, "Zhou Mianmian, you chose your partner, so what does it have to do with me now?"

Zhou Mianmian, with trembling hands, took out the card she had been clutching, "After midnight, in room 508, I'll be waiting for you, to give back what I owe you."

Her voice was sorrowful, "It's like fulfilling a dream of my own, too."

If someone uninformed heard this, they might think Xie Xiao was a scumbag.

Xie Xiao burst out laughing in disbelief, "Are you okay? Do you think I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his arm was suddenly grabbed by a soft hand with quite a strength, and he was startled.

He then saw a frail body blocking his path.

Luo Yanran looked at Zhou Mianmian in front of her, who also had a look of bewilderment on her face.

Luo Yanran's complexion was not good either; no one would be pleased after coming with excitement only to find someone handing their boyfriend a room key, especially after she had just spent more than an hour rowing under the blazing sun!

Her eyes were cold and angry, "Zhou Mianmian, don't you think your actions just now were a bit out of line?"

Luo Yanran eyed the room key, reached out to take it, "If you go to cancel it now, you might still be in time."

Zhou Mianmian's face turned uncomfortable, not expecting to run into Luo Yanran, and her gaze turned to Xie Xiao, "I came to see Xie Xiao…"

"Xie Xiao is my boyfriend," Luo Yanran said these words with a sudden gleam in her eyes.

She was actually quite petty; she remembered every single time Zhou Mianmian had flaunted in the past.

Now, at last, she could say this sentence with complete justification.

Xie Xiao chuckled softly, pinching her hand as reassurance, and took the card from her hand to hand it back to Zhou Mianmian, "Go back. My girlfriend is jealous, and I have to coax her."

The tone was indulgent, only now it was not directed at herself.

Zhou Mianmian took the room key and walked past them.

"Zhou Mianmian," Xie Xiao suddenly spoke, and her eyes lit up.

She turned to look at Xie Xiao.

But Xie Xiao, holding Luo Yanran's hand, looked at her indifferently, "You can actually live without relying on others."

The light in Zhou Mianmian's eyes completely extinguished, and she turned and walked away.

Xie Xiao looked down at Luo Yanran, "Why are you here so early…"

But Luo Yanran suddenly reached into his pocket, found the room key and "beeped" the door open behind him, then pushed Xie Xiao inside.

The series of actions was so fast that Xie Xiao didn't even recover his senses.

The room door was shut once again.
