Chapter 102: Chapter 102 I Also Kissed Her
The slightly wild Miss Luo didn't realize that one remark of hers made Xie Xiao's recently calmed mood boil again instantly.
She noticed quite a few passersby looking at them.
There had been many hugging couples before, but not many were still embracing after such a small while.
Luo Yanran, bashful by nature, did not, however, push Xie Xiao away.
She merely hung her head quietly allowing Xie Xiao to hold her.
It took a while before Xie Xiao let her go, gently sighing, "Tired?"
Luo Yanran shook her head, just looking at him without saying a word.
Xie Xiao smiled, "I didn't really mean for you to stay quiet. What was that about a 'phrase as dangerous as tigers and wolves' you just mentioned?"
He lowered his voice a bit, "It's like you're after my life."
Luo Yanran blinked and then spoke up, "Wasn't that what you asked me about?"
Xie Xiao fell silent, staring at the innocent-looking Luo Yanran in front of him, "Spare me, Miss Luo."
Luo Yanran couldn't hold back a laugh, she had indeed done it deliberately just to tease Xie Xiao.
But she hadn't expected such a big reaction, she winked at Xie Xiao, "You seem too young still."
Xie Xiao, pulling her forward, chuckled, "That's because I'm a naive young lad."
"Shameless." Luo Yanran murmured softly, he's anything but naive when it really comes down to it.
Xie Xiao also thought about the afternoon events, and he too laughed.
Although the earlier episode was a bit embarrassing, it quickly passed.
Xie Xiao felt their distance closing rapidly.
This was what he wanted.
When they had first started dating, there was always this layer of cautiousness and distance between them.
But it seemed like the incident with Zhou Mianmian giving the room card had broken that slight distance they had.
Xie Xiao mentally thanked Zhou Mianmian's assist in his heart.
His mood was really good.
Just as they crossed the bridge, they encountered an even more awkward atmosphere with Lin Yu and Liu Ou.
The two greeted them stiffly.
Compared to the bubbly atmosphere around them, these two seemed more like strangers forced together.
Luo Yanran pinched Xie Xiao.
Xie Xiao got the hint, pretended not to notice the awkwardness between them, and smilingly asked, "Did you see the fireworks? They were pretty good."
"Saw them."
"Didn't see them." They responded simultaneously.
Then the atmosphere became even more awkward.
Xie Xiao was also stunned.
He didn't even know how to continue the conversation.
Luo Yanran, letting go of Xie Xiao's hand, walked up and clung to Liu Ou asking, "What's wrong?"
Liu Ou shook her head, "Nothing, just a bit tired, shall we go home?"
Her gaze didn't linger on Lin Yu even for a second.
Luo Yanran glanced at Xie Xiao, who was also a bit confused. Had Lin Yu done something?
To provoke such a reaction from Liu Ou…
"Let's go home then." While the couple was still puzzled, Lin Yu spoke up, still concerned about the gift for the old lady, "Did you buy the gift for my grandma?"
Xie Xiao uttered a sound of acknowledgement, "Bought it, just..."
Before he could finish, Lin Yu interrupted, "That's good. Heading back now."
Saying this, he had already taken out his phone to call a ride.
No sooner had the car arrived than he consciously sat in the passenger seat.
He didn't interact much with the others during the entire ride.
Xie Xiao was completely confused, what had happened?
Liu Ou also didn't speak up.
Luo Yanran, sitting in the middle, swiped her fingers a few times over Xie Xiao's hand, her eyes conveying resignation.
Xie Xiao also sighed softly, genuinely clueless about what was bothering the two.
Anyway, the atmosphere was rather heavy.
They had reached the hotel, and Lin Yu had exited the elevator on the ninth floor to return to his room.
Xie Xiao escorted them to the tenth floor.
Liu Ou opened the door, smiled, and said, "Good night."
She was speaking to Xie Xiao, then she gave Luo Yanran a look before entering.
Luo Yanran watched her go in and helplessly looked at Xie Xiao, then gently hugged him. "I need to ask what's going on. You should head back and rest early."
Xie Xiao was also a bit worried about Lin Yu. He hummed softly and kissed her on the face, "Then you go in first."
Luo Yanran quickly went inside.
Xie Xiao sighed, turned around, and after walking a few steps he saw the silent Lin Yu, Teacher Luo, and the head teacher standing at the elevator entrance.
What kind of scene is this!?
Even Xie Xiao froze on the spot.
The expressions on the faces of the three teachers were also a bit complicated, each holding a cup of milk tea...
It seemed as if the air had frozen.
Xie Xiao thought for a moment, and thankfully it was just a kiss on the face, maybe he could make an excuse?
Lin Yu glared at him, then coughed lightly, "Ah, hahaha, Xie Xiao, you're here? Did you go to the wrong floor?"
Teacher Luo glanced at Lin Yu, his voice dry, "It's getting late, you should head back now."
Xie Xiao blinked, "Goodbye, teachers."
He didn't wait for the elevator but ran to the fire escape instead.
Lin Yu was hinting at him to run fast...
Xie Xiao was actually fine himself, mostly worried about affecting Luo Yanran...
But seeing the expressions of the three teachers, it should be okay, right?
After returning to his room, he saw Lin Yu in the bathroom, so he first sent a message to Luo Yanran.
At this time, the three teachers stood silently next to the elevator upstairs. Finally, Teacher Luo huffed, "Good lord, are they encroaching on his territory or what?"
He had seen everything clearly!
That was Luo Yanran!
His favorite pupil!
The head teacher sensed the tension and slowly walked away a bit, better to stay out of this.

These two were their key students for the college entrance exams.
Lin Yu sighed, "It's late..."
"It's still early. Let me tell you, Lin, why do you keep complaining about Xie Xiao's grades dropping..." Teacher Luo didn't pick up the cue, "Come on, let's talk about it."
Dragging Lin Yu a few steps away then turning to the head teacher, "Head teacher, you come too..."
Head teacher: ...
"It's almost time for the exams, Teacher Luo..." he sighed and began.
"No rush, head teacher. Let's chat slowly!" Teacher Luo said.
Lin Yu: ... Xie Xiao, you brat, just you wait!
Xie Xiao didn't immediately get a reply after sending the message to Luo Yanran.
He looked at Lin Yu, who had just come out of the bathroom, "What's going on with you and Liu Ou?"
Lin Yu looked at him innocently, "What's going on?"
He just stared at Xie Xiao, and Xie Xiao also remained silent, just looking at him.
Lin Yu sighed, "Actually, there's really nothing..."
It was just that I took the opportunity to confess when we were alone, and then I was... well... not exactly rejected, I guess?
Lin Yu was unsure then the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Then Xie Xiao and the others arrived.
Lin Yu wiped his hair, "I might have been impulsive but I don't regret it,"
"She didn't outright reject me, perhaps she didn't want to affect my exams. She said we'll talk after the exams, Xie Xiao. Can I comfort myself a bit like A Q and still hope for a chance?"
Lin Yu looked at Xie Xiao, asking. Xie Xiao even noticed his eyes were a bit red.
Xie Xiao almost blurted out something but swallowed his words, finally saying, "Then let's talk after the exams. Actually, I feel like Liu Ou also feels differently about you..."
Before he could finish, Lin Yu suddenly added, "I kissed her."
Xie Xiao: ...?!
