Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Before hanging up the phone, Xie Xiao seriously told her that if it really didn't work out, she should tell him, and they could move out and live together.

There was no need to force herself.

Luo Yanran also agreed.

Tomorrow would be the last day of military training. After the morning exercise, they could disband.

The dormitory folks were making a fuss about asking Xie Xiao and his girlfriend to treat them to a meal.

But Shen Jun'an said, "We all attend the same school, so there will be plenty of opportunities. I need to go to my girlfriend's school to see her tomorrow. How about next time?"

Xie Xiao agreed, "I plan to spend some alone time with my girlfriend tomorrow."

Qi Yan, who had been the most boisterous, was now holding his phone, chuckling, "I won't have time either, my senior sister invited me to dinner."

Lu Ci: ...Is this dormitory no longer suitable to stay in?

Xie Xiao looked at the screensaver on his phone.

It was the most recent one he had set, a photo of Luo Yanran taking off her cap.

Xie Xiao really liked it, his girlfriend was truly beautiful.

The next day, their biological clocks had already adjusted, and they all woke up at the sound of the alarm.

Even Qi Yan, who had a bit of a temper in the morning, had his edges smoothed out by the half month of routine.

After quickly getting ready, they went to assemble.

All the morning hustle and bustle almost reached twelve o'clock by the time it was about to end.

Instructor Huang just smiled at them and said, "I won't say much else. After today's farewell, it will be quite difficult to encounter each other again in the future."

Instructor Huang's school was not nearby, so indeed, it would be quite difficult to meet again.

He said with a smile, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to come to this school. Even though I'm your instructor, each of you is more outstanding than I am."

He raised his thumb, "Finally, I wish you all a future as splendid as brocades."

Originally, it wasn't much, nor were the words particularly stirring, but still, quite a few girls secretly cried.

Emotions do spread, and everyone's mood became somber.

Suddenly, the boys rushed up, lifted the instructor, and tossed him in the air a few times.

Xie Xiao stood to the side, taking a few photos.

It was indeed a rare experience.

After all, Xie Xiao had not gone through it in his previous life.

In the end, some people even suggested treating the instructor to a meal.

But Instructor Huang refused; it wasn't allowed by the school.

So no one insisted, and they took quite a few group photos together.

Finally, they disbanded.

Xie Xiao and Shen Jun'an were eager to see their girlfriends, so they quickly told the other two and went back to the dormitory to shower and change clothes.

Before leaving, Xie Xiao saw Qi Yan being stopped by a girl from the next class over.

He gestured a thumbs-up to Qi Yan, then ran off.

Back at the dormitory, Shen Jun'an was the first to go take a shower, since his girlfriend was from another school; it was only natural.

Xie Xiao, seeing the message from Luo Yanran saying she had already arrived at the dormitory, replied with a smile after bathing that he would come find her.

Luo Yanran looked at the message, her eyes smiling.

When she pushed the door open, she was surprised to find both Wang Wan and Tang Lingling in their dormitory.

Wang Wan was the roommate Luo Yanran had mentioned who was rather indifferent towards her, while Tang Lingling was the classmate from the neighboring dormitory who had been photographed with Luo Yanran.

To some extent, Tang Lingling and Luo Yanran shared a similar type of beauty.

Both had striking and flamboyant appearances.

But the impression they gave was completely different; Luo Yanran came off as reserved while Tang Lingling seemed to be the type with a fiery temper.

Luo Yanran, eager to see Xie Xiao, had come back before the other two roommates.

Seeing the two of them in the dormitory now, she was somewhat taken aback.

Wang Wan saw her quickly shift her gaze away.

However, Tang Lingling kept staring at Luo Yanran.

Luo Yanran just paused for a second before walking into the dormitory, since they didn't seem to want to greet her, she didn't feel the need to either.

She found her clothes and prepared to take a shower.

At that moment, Tang Lingling suddenly spoke up, "What sunscreen do you use?"

Luo Yanran at first didn't realize the question was directed at her and walked out onto the balcony without hesitation.

But then she heard a voice from behind her, "Tsk, Luo Yanran."

Only then did she realize she was being spoken to.

She turned around, somewhat bewildered.

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Tang Lingling began to doubt what Wang Wan had said, as she had noticed Luo Yanran since the time of the assembly.

Because she was so beautiful, and Tang Lingling herself was also beautiful, having been the school belle all her life.

But when she saw Luo Yanran, she still thought how could this girl be so pretty?

She seemed cold and not very approachable though.

Tang Lingling also noticed that their former classmate, Wang Wan, shared a dormitory with her. Although she didn't know Wang Wan well, Tang Lingling still really wanted to be friends with Luo Yanran, so she asked Wang Wan for her contact details.

At that time, the class group hadn't been set up yet.

As a result, Wang Wan said Luo Yanran was arrogant and refused.

This had upset Tang Lingling for a few days.

However, she still found Luo Yanran very beautiful, which was why she came today despite Wang Wan's advice.

Now, seeing the clueless Luo Yanran, she obediently mentioned a brand, "An**, the little gold bottle."

Tang Lingling felt certain there was a mistake in Wang Wan's information.

She glanced at Wang Wan, who wasn't looking at her.

Tang Lingling narrowed her eyes.

Eventually, she turned her gaze back to Luo Yanran, "Can I add you on WeChat?"

Luo Yanran didn't know why things had developed in this way; hadn't Wang Wan ambiguously suggested earlier in the dorm that Tang Lingling should dislike her?

Why were they now standing face to face, adding each other on WeChat?

And Tang Lingling seemed quite happy about it.

Indeed, Tang Lingling was quite happy. She focused on Luo Yanran's face and said, "You're very beautiful and you resemble a dance teacher I like a lot. I don't know if you know her, her name is Meng Liqi. She's beautiful and dances incredibly well..."

When she mentioned her idol, Tang Lingling's eyes were shining.

Luo Yanran was about to speak, but stopped herself. She did know her, of course, she resembled her because she was her mother, right?

But Tang Lingling clearly hadn't thought of that, "But Teacher Meng is so young, she probably wouldn't have a daughter your age. Otherwise, I'd suspect you were her daughter. But you really are very pretty."

Luo Yanran uttered a soft "ah" and responded, "Thank you, you're very beautiful too."

Things were heading in a direction Luo Yanran hadn't expected.

If it hadn't been for Wang Wan urging Tang Lingling along, Luo Yanran wouldn't have known when their mutual business complimenting session would end.

Because of the delay, she missed the chance to wait for Xie Xiao at the bottom of his dormitory building.

This left her somewhat disappointed.

In the end, they arranged to meet at the school gate, since the time they were leaving was roughly the same, they might arrive at the school gate at around the same time.

Xie Xiao moved quickly; he wanted to see her sooner.

After all, it had been 11 days since they last saw each other.

Xie Xiao arrived at the school gate before Luo Yanran, as expected.

He stood under a tree, with many freshmen walking out, and a considerable number of people at the school gate.

Xie Xiao glanced at his skin which had definitely darkened by at least three shades.

Indeed, the new students were all too easy to recognize.

Except for his girlfriend.

Xie Xiao watched Luo Yanran, who remained as dazzlingly pale as before, appear within his range of vision.
