Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Xie Xiao is Mine
Zhou Mianmian was still crouching on the ground, forcing her to look up at Luo Yanran, and she hated this feeling!
So she stood up, but even standing, she was not as tall as Luo Yanran.
Yet she still glared at the girl before her, jealousy lurking deep in her eyes.
She was just too pretty, and had been even as a child.
Yes, Zhou Mianmian had seen Luo Yanran when she was young,
At her parents' funeral.
The car accident that year was mainly her father's fault; he was speeding and ran a red light.
The car he happened to hit was Luo Yanran's family's car.
But maybe because it was a luxury car that could take a hit?
In any case, the Luo family's car was undamaged, while her parent's car flipped several times after crashing into an oncoming dump truck.
She no longer had parents.
Of course, at that time she was too young to understand all this; she had overheard it from relatives' conversations.
The Luo family, having been hit, not only did not ask for compensation, but perhaps out of pity for an old woman and a little girl, they even gave them tens of thousands of yuan.
Right at her parents' funeral.
An old man handed the money over to her grandmother.
Behind him was a black car, with its window half down, revealing a beautiful little face.
She was truly beautiful, her large eyes filled with curiosity, more lovely than any doll in Zhou Mianmian's room.
She even smiled at her.
At that moment, Zhou Mianmian found her smile irritating, her parents were dead, she had no father or mother. Why should this girl be smiling!
That was the first time Zhou Mianmian saw Luo Yanran.
The next time they met was in high school.
She was still as radiant as a princess, and Zhou Mianmian secretly followed her for a long time.
Finding out she fed stray cats, Zhou Mianmian thought, even those cats eat better than her.
She had looked it up online, the cat food was expensive.
That day, she finally went over, picked up those cans, and then she met Xie Xiao...
At this thought, Zhou Mianmian spoke again, "Xie Xiao was stolen from me by your hands, aren't you afraid I'll steal him back?"
Xie Xiao was her one weapon to wound this proud little princess.
Actually, he was more than just a weapon...
Thinking of Xie Xiao's face and his gentle smile,
Zhou Mianmian felt even more miserable. She didn't want to lose Xie Xiao.
"Are you not right in the head?" Luo Yanran finally spoke, looking at Zhou Mianmian with no emotion in her eyes, as if she were just looking at a roadside tree, "But then again, it seems like your grades aren't exactly up to par."
Zhou Mianmian's face turned a shade paler. She rarely talked to Luo Yanran, but even from what she heard from classmates, she knew about her cold and indifferent temperament that disdained engaging in disputes...
But hearing her speak now, Zhou Mianmian wondered if there was some mistake in these rumors about her character?
Luo Yanran didn't care whether Zhou Mianmian looked pale or not; she was really put off by how Zhou Mianmian was speaking about Xie Xiao as if he was her personal property.
Even when they used to be together, she had been distasteful, but she had no standing to object then.
Now things were different, Xie Xiao was her boyfriend.
Thinking this, Luo Yanran's lips curved up slightly, "Let me correct two things, first, Xie Xiao is now my boyfriend; second, Xie Xiao was never yours, not before, not now, and not in the future. Got it? Steal? Do you understand the meaning of that word? Steal is when it's yours and someone takes it, but was Xie Xiao yours? He's mine."
After saying this, Luo Yanran glanced at the time, "You're wasting my time."
```
Then she turned around and left.
She didn't even spare Zhou Mianmian an extra glance.
At first, perhaps Luo Yanran found Zhou Mianmian's story with Xie Xiao off-putting—any girl would feel that way unless they didn't like the guy.
But in the months since she'd been with Xie Xiao, he had given Luo Yanran enough sense of security.
He never avoided mentioning Zhou Mianmian; his attitude was very calm, and Xie Xiao once said to her, "I can't deny a past that existed."
It made Luo Yanran learn to see with her eyes—attitudes are not told but shown.
That was how Luo Yanran had been observing these days.
She liked Xie Xiao so much; if she couldn't even feel his emotions, that wouldn't be called liking at all.
Xie Xiao didn't like Zhou Mianmian; to him, she was no different from any other classmate, the not-so-familiar kind.
That's why earlier on Luo Yanran could easily say, "Xie Xiao is hers."
It wasn't about treating Xie Xiao like property, but rather they naturally belonged to each other.
Luo Yanran left—she didn't even take this interlude to heart.
She had no interest in finding out why Zhou Mianmian wasn't in class during class time; these things didn't matter.
They weren't worth her time either; she was working hard to go to the same place as Xie Xiao, other things or people didn't deserve her time.
However, at lunch, when the four of them were eating, Luo Yanran still found out why Zhou Mianmian hadn't been in class all morning.
Lin Yu mentioned it briefly, "Zhou Mianmian simply took a leave of absence and didn't come to class all morning."
Xie Xiao returned the greens Luo Yanran secretly slipped him back onto her plate; his girlfriend was picky and didn't like vegetables...
He glanced at a somewhat unhappy Luo Yanran, "At least eat a little bit."
Luo Yanran responded with an "oh."
Liu Ou was quite interested and asked, "But she can't miss class every day in the same class, can she? What's his name—oh, Yan Shi, is he that scary?"
Like Xie Xiao, Lin Yu usually didn't care much for gossip or talking about it.
But Liu Ou liked to listen, so Lin Yu paid some attention to it. Fortunately, he sat in front of a Li Hua, who always had some gossip to share.
"No, after breaking his leg he does seem quite gloomy," Lin Yu thought for a moment, "I don't get why he'd return to school without recovering."
"I ran into Zhou Mianmian this morning, right under your teaching building," Luo Yanran still talked about meeting Zhou Mianmian in the morning, of course, she left out their conversation—that was too embarrassing!
After hearing it, Xie Xiao didn't seem to care much, "She probably just squatted for a while and then went back. Ranran, don't be picky."
His tone was a bit helpless. Discover hidden stories at ???
Luo Yanran pouted and took back the vegetables onto her own plate, "Scrooge."
Lin Yu and Liu Ou sitting beside them: Well fed, thank you! Quite economical.
No one took the matter of Zhou Mianmian and Yan Shi to heart because it wasn't that important to them.
But while they didn't care, on the third day of Yan Shi's return to school, trouble still ensued.
Yan Shi hit Zhou Mianmian, and it happened right at the school gate.
When the news came, Xie Xiao was arguing with Lin Yu over a problem-solving step.
Li Hua, who had been playing with his phone in front of them, suddenly exclaimed "damn" quite loudly!
Lin Yu, who was writing down his thought process, flinched and also exclaimed "damn," "Li Hua, are you crazy?"
"No, Yu Ge! Something happened!"
He stood up and dragged the others with him, "Hurry up and take a look!"
"What happened?" Xie Xiao stood up, following the pull of Li Hua's hand, "The answer is 3!"
"Forget the 3! Yan Shi hit Zhou Mianmian at the gate! And then some guy hit Yan Shi! And then they started fighting, sheesh. It's all messed up! Anyway, let's go check it out!"
