Luo Yanran stretched out her hand to adjust her clothes, and her face immediately turned red.It seemed she knew why he had a nosebleed.
She found it both amusing and somewhat helpless, but she quickly got some tissues for Xie Xiao, "You had it coming."
Xie Xiao felt a bit innocent; after pinching his nose, he began, "It's not my fault, the moment I opened my eyes I saw..."
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a sight that was too stimulating to endure!
Luo Yanran was so annoyed with him that she turned and went straight into the bathroom.
Xie Xiao touched his nose, thinking that he wasn't really a hooligan to begin with.
He glanced down and thought, isn't this a normal reaction for guys when they wake up in the morning?
Moreover, he had been provoked.
In the end, Xie Xiao sighed; it was impossible to reason things out.
Luo Yanran only came out after she had finished washing up in the bathroom.
Without waiting for Xie Xiao to speak, she pushed him in, "It's almost time for lunch, hurry up."
Then, with a clack, she also closed the door for Xie Xiao.
Xie Xiao, locked inside, felt helpless, "Ranran, you should at least give me some clothes." Your next read awaits at M-V-L
From outside came Luo Yanran's response.
She must be looking for clothes.
When Xie Xiao came out after washing up, he was already dressed.
And then his rather big girlfriend disappeared again.
Xie Xiao found it amusing; checking his phone, sure enough, she had gone back to her room to change.
This scene was exactly like yesterday.
Xie Xiao found it adorable and funny.
But he still patiently went out to wait for her.
He didn't knock, just sent a message, [Waiting for you at the door.]
If only Xie Xiao had known he would encounter Zhang Qiaoqiao, he would have gone in instead.
Zhang Qiaoqiao was likely staying on the third floor too.
As soon as she stepped out, her eyes landed on Xie Xiao.
Her eyes brightened, and she approached, her voice quite sweet, "Senior."
Xie Xiao watched her approach and took two steps to the side, "Hello, but it's not appropriate to call me senior, since we don't know each other."
Actually, this line sounded more like something Lin Yu, a complete doofus, would say.
But Xie Xiao saw himself as the epitome of gentlemanly conduct, keeping a respectful distance from all women. After all, his wife might just open the door and see them.
Besides, Xie Xiao heard Lin Yu mention this morning that the girl seemed quite interested in him.
This wasn't a good sign—it probably wasn't love, but interest could still be troublesome.
Zhang Qiaoqiao was taken aback; Xie Xiao looked so refined, so why did he speak a bit like Lin Yu from yesterday?
She wasn't someone with an especially good temper, so her smiling face tightened a bit.
But then she thought that these young masters from the city always had some quirks.
She glanced at the firmly shut door, "Are you waiting for someone?"
"Yes, waiting for my girlfriend." Xie Xiao was getting annoyed, thinking she should get the hint now, right?
But all she did was let out an "aiya," "This sister is your girlfriend? It's hard to tell, maybe because she always looks so expressionless. I thought you were just classmates."
You could say that, compared to Zhou Mianmian, Zhang Qiaoqiao's tricks and acting skills were far from impressive.
Xie Xiao was somewhat speechless.
After all, he's a man who had escaped from Zhou Mianmian's clutches.
He finally looked down at Zhang Qiaoqiao; the owner of the shop where he bought watermelons had said she was the prettiest girl in their village,
Now, looking at her face which could be considered delicate, Xie Xiao felt the village was doomed.
Her features weren't particularly delicate, the distance between her eyes was a bit wide, and her nose wasn't quite prominent.
She could only be described as fair-looking.
Compared to Luo Yanran, she fell far short.
At this moment, she wore a surprised expression, and upon seeing Xie Xiao look her way, she smiled awkwardly, "I didn't mean anything else..."
"Didn't your mother ever tell you that it's very rude to talk about someone's girlfriend to their face?" Xie Xiao cut her off, "And I don't need your opinions about what my girlfriend looks like, do you understand?"
His voice remained gentle, but the words he spoke were quite harsh.
As expected, Zhang Qiaoqiao's complexion turned even uglier.
She glared at Xie Xiao and sneered, "You city people really are polite!"
Xie Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he turned back to the door, "Politeness depends on the person, and it has nothing to do with whether I'm from the city or not."
What he meant was that she wasn't worth being polite to.
Zhang Qiaoqiao stared at Xie Xiao's refined face, her eyes nearly shooting flames.
What kind of person was he!
Right then, Luo Yanran's door opened. She had taken some time using concealer to cover marks that clothing couldn't hide.
As she stepped out, she saw Zhang Qiaoqiao glaring at Xie Xiao, which made her frown involuntarily. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
But Xie Xiao was all smiles, "All done?"
After saying that, he walked over and took her hand.
Luo Yanran looked at him, her eyes and brows also softening, "Have you been waiting long?"
"No. Sometimes my mom takes even longer to leave the house, and my dad and I can wait for half a day..."
Zhang Qiaoqiao, seeing that neither of them paid her any attention, huffed loudly and heavily stomped her way to the stairs.
Both turned to watch her retreating figure.
Luo Yanran asked quietly, frowning, "What's with her?"
"Nothing really, just saying some nonsensical things out of the blue," Xie Xiao said indifferently, "You should keep your distance from her in the future. I can't understand how Liu Auntie, who is so good-tempered, could have a daughter like that."
Luo Yanran happened to know a bit about the situation, "Her daughter used to live with her father."
She lowered her voice a bit, "Her dad got into some bad stuff, and he's still not out yet."
Xie Xiao showed a surprised expression, "Anyway, Hai Ou said this girl has been rebellious since she was young, always either hitting or yelling at her own mother, but now she seems a bit better."
After finishing, Luo Yanran looked at him and tugged at his face, "She must be interested in you, right? Her gaze was pretty obvious."
Xie Xiao blinked, "How would you know it's obvious? Do you look at me the same way?"
How did this conversation take such a turn?
Luo Yanran was somewhat speechless but suddenly felt relieved inside.
It seemed like Xie Xiao didn't give other girls a second glance.
She reached out and took Xie Xiao's hand, "Stop being annoying, let's go down. Hai Ou and the others are still waiting for us."
Xie Xiao just laughed and pressed on, "Talk while we walk, eh? What kind of gaze is it? Little Luo teacher, you look at me so fiercely now..."
"I do not!"
They bickered all the way downstairs where most of the others had already gathered.
The three university girls greeted them with a chirpy hello as a way of saying hi.
Liu Ou and Lin Yu looked at them with a knowing gaze.
Only Zhang Qiaoqiao looked away after a brief glance.
After greeting the three girls, Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran sat down next to the empty seat by Liu Ou.
The seating was almost the same as the day before.
But Zhang Qiaoqiao, who had been ignored by everyone, seemed to have some thoughts and suddenly switched seats, ending up closer to Xie Xiao.
Everyone's eyes shifted to Zhang Qiaoqiao upon her sudden change of seat.
She raised an eyebrow and challenged, "What? Can't I sit here?"
