Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Small Webpage Advertising

Xie Xiao hadn't expected her to openly admit that she was jealous.

After the incident just now, Xie Xiao thought she would start awkwardly avoiding him again, but now it seemed he had been overthinking.

Xie Xiao looked at her, although she didn't dare meet his eyes, her gaze still couldn't help but fall on him occasionally. She looked pitiable, yet adorable.

Xie Xiao sighed, "Ranran, you're too much, it's like you want my life..."

"I'm serious," Luo Yanran said, her tone earnest, "I am jealous. I want to tell you that whatever she can do, I can do better… You…"

She paused, then continued in a lower voice, "Don't look at her..."

Just look at me.

Xie Xiao felt as if his heart had been crushed, then glued back together and left to dry under the rising sun.

Pain mingled with a certain warmth.

But it made him feel comfortable and gave him a sense of belonging.

He reached out and pulled Luo Yanran's hand, "Don't think about that, even if you hadn't shown up, I wouldn't have looked at her."

He spoke seriously, "Remember what I told you? Everyone else is an outsider to us, and I won't bother with them. It was an accident today; I was actually going to look for you..."

Xie Xiao placed his hand gently beside her cheek, his gaze tender, "You don't have to force yourself to accommodate me. Like today, if you don't like it, you can push me away..."

His tone was helpless, "Sometimes I get a bit over the top, and indeed, I can be a bit… impatient…"

Explaining and talking about this seriously takes away the ease of just doing it, and it somehow feels a bit rogue.

Xie Xiao was internally distressed.

But Luo Yanran blinked, "I don't feel it's forced, I really want to."

Her face was still red, yet she looked directly at Xie Xiao as she spoke, her voice soft but serious, "If it must be someone, then that someone can only be you."

Luo Yanran rubbed her face in the palm of his hand, "Xie Xiao, only you can, I'm not forcing myself and I have no regrets. I don't know about the future, but for now, it can only be you."

Xie Xiao finally no longer crouched, he stood up and embraced the girl in front of him.

His heart was fuller than if he had really done something, all because of her words.

The previous awkwardness seemed to have dissipated with this hug.

About an hour later, the two went to find Lin Yu and Liu Ou.

They hadn't gone far, just to a milk tea shop near the hotel.

Although Lin Yu had received a reply from Xie Xiao and felt quite reassured, Liu Ou couldn't help but worry a bit.

After all, at this age, if a boy is impulsive...

"Maybe we should go back and knock on the door? Is this initiative too mature of us?" What if it allows them to continue?

Liu Ou regretted it; if something really happened, Luoluo would be at a disadvantage.

Although it seems normal for young couples to get involved, it shouldn't be now, not with exams less than two months away. It's too distracting.

Lin Yu glanced at her and comforted, "Although Xie Xiao doesn't seem very reliable, he actually is pretty reliable."

Liu Ou looked at him and was not comforted.

Lin Yu himself chuckled, "That's not what I meant. It's just that if Xie Xiao isn't reliable, isn't there still Senior Luo? She should know what she's doing."

Little did he know, Liu Ou coldly said, "She might know about others, but she has no clue about Xie Xiao; she likes him too much."

Liu Ou knew Luo Yanran very well and understood her because she had witnessed Luo Yanran's affection for Xie Xiao; that's why she was worried.

Lin Yu went to the front desk to pick up their milk tea, placing her cup in front of her, "This should be on me."

The damned Xie Xiao took his phone and hadn't returned it.

Liu Ou looked at him and said with a smile, "A boy's pride acting up?"

Lin Yu smiled briefly and didn't deny it this time.

Now was their rare time alone together.

Liu Ou also realized this just then, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit quiet.

She was a person with high emotional intelligence, evident in many aspects.

Thus, when Lin Yu behaved differently towards her, she noticed it quickly.

The stolen glances she caught unintentionally, the snacks brought under the guise of a discount yet with perfectly fresh dates...

When they were out, he would unconsciously protect her hand...

Liu Ou was aware of all this, yet she still couldn't figure out what Lin Yu liked about her.

Moreover, she didn't know how to respond. Normally, a smile and a rejection were sufficient.

But facing the somewhat insecure Lin Yu, Liu Ou dared not do so.

He was a very strong and impressive boy. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Liu Ou had never heard him complain about life, a trait that already made him better than many others.

She didn't want to hurt him but couldn't give him any hope or response.

Therefore, she had been intentionally and unintentionally creating distance between them.

She knew Lin Yu must have sensed it, his sorrowful eyes were too conspicuous.

Like his unmistakable affection, his despair was not hidden either.

He was a clean-hearted big boy.

For instance, the smile on his lips and the joy in his eyes now were hard to ignore.

Liu Ou slightly shifted her gaze, "This milk tea is quite ordinary, how long will they take to come down…"

She casually changed the topic, avoiding any awkwardness.

This was Liu Ou. Unlike the direct and genuine Lin Yu, every word she uttered was well thought out.

An old habit from childhood, although she didn't like it herself, it was hard to change.

Lin Yu shifted his gaze outside where the sunlight was still strong, "About an hour or so!"

So he could at least be alone with her for an hour.

Lin Yu couldn't help but smile again.

Liu Ou, however, overthought it, "An hour? What they're doing upstairs... they'd have finished whether it's allowed or not, right?"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow in disagreement, "An hour is not enough."

"Impossible, according to the average for Asian men..."

The topic was getting weird.

Lin Yu, hearing her out, suddenly asked, "Why are you still reading that?"

This wasn't knowledge from a biology class.

Liu Ou paused for a moment. Could she be blamed for her good memory?

Which computer doesn't occasionally pop up a few ads?

But perhaps out of some psychological impulse, she smiled at Lin Yu and counterasked, "How do you know I'm not speaking from personal experience?"

Lin Yu laughed, his gaze suggesting he saw through her little trick, "The conclusions derived from experience wouldn't be like that."

"Why not?" Liu Ou challenged back.

"Because eighteen-year-old boys..." Lin Yu paused, then decided the rest of the sentence was rather indelicate.

He glanced at Liu Ou, shaking his head, "You must have seen that on some banner ad on a minor webpage."

That was indeed the case...

However...

Liu Ou stared at him, "You seem to know a lot, do you often watch those?"

Her tone was teasing.

Lin Yu: …
