Chapter 113 The Xie Xiao Family All Feel Like Warm-hearted People

Luo Yanran still didn't know what she had inadvertently revealed.

After speaking, she picked up her phone to order, "Don't think too much today. After all, we have exams tomorrow. Once they're over, we can have a great time, and before the results come out, let's pretend it was the best exam we've ever taken~"

She even smiled at him after speaking, "This is advice from your senior~"

Xie Xiao suddenly smiled as well. He really wanted to ask Luo Yanran about the reason she mentioned for retaking the college entrance exam after it was over. Discover hidden stories at ???

He had once vainly wondered if it was because of him, but later, he thought it was impossible.

This was the college entrance exam, after all.

But the words Luo Yanran blurted out just now made him feel that perhaps it wasn't all vanity on his part.

Even if not one hundred percent, it probably had something to do with him.

However, Xie Xiao still didn't ask. If she said she would tell him after the exams, then he would wait until then.

The two of them finished eating and went home since they had exams the next day, and there would be plenty of time to be alone after.

Xie Xiao dropped Luo Yanran off at her home, where the security guard at the gate probably recognized him by now and even smiled, asking, "You finished school early today?"

Xie Xiao replied, "Uncle, we have an exam tomorrow."

The security uncle uttered an "Oh" and encouraged, "Do your best on the exam. May you succeed with flying colors!"

The two of them thanked the uncle with a smile.

Xie Xiao suddenly remembered something, "Are your parents coming back today?"

The smile on Luo Yanran's face faded slightly, "They probably won't come back."

Xie Xiao looked at her for a moment, truly curious about her parents, but Luo Yanran clearly didn't want to talk more about it, so he didn't ask.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yanran took the initiative to say, "My dad's a businessman, quite successful, which you can probably tell from where I live. My mom is a dancer. She's hardly home throughout the year, always on tour or doing charity work."

Luo Yanran spoke with nonchalance, "I don't even know if they're home today."

Xie Xiao squeezed her hand and stopped by the gate, "Good thing I came prepared."

Luo Yanran looked at him in bewilderment, then watched as he took out a small sachet, a pen, and an amulet from his backpack.

Xie Xiao's face showed a hint of helplessness, "You know, Dr. Yang in our family actually believes in science most of the time, but there are some exceptions, right? Take these."

Luo Yanran was a bit shocked by the items he placed in her hand, "These... did Auntie prepare them for you?"

As she said this and was about to give them back to him, Xie Xiao chuckled and shook his head, "No, they are for you. I have mine too, and when I get home, Dr. Yang and Teacher Xie probably have a meal prepared for the exam."

Luo Yanran clenched the items in her hand, feeling somewhat overwhelmed. After all, she had already experienced the college entrance exam once before.

The day before the last exam, she received a large sum of money from her parents along with their apologies.

She was used to it by now.

Her parents were too busy, and ever since her grandparents passed away, Luo Yanran had gotten used to being alone in the villa.

It wasn't exactly alone, there were the housekeeper and the driver.

But she was always lonely.

Now, holding the items specially prepared by Xie Xiao's mother, she didn't know how to react.

She managed to say dryly, "Please thank your uncle and auntie for me."

Xie Xiao was a bit pained by her bewildered state and reached out to touch her head, "How about you have dinner with me after the exam?"

What he really wanted to say was that he wanted to take her to his home for dinner, but he was afraid it might scare her.

Luo Yanran nodded without thinking much about it.

Xie Xiao smiled, embraced her in his arms, kissed her forehead, her cheek, and finally her lips, "Work hard tomorrow, Teacher Luo. I'm here for you."

Luo Yanran hugged him back, closing her eyes and nuzzling into his embrace, "Okay, you too, Xie Xiao. I want to go to university with you."

Xie Xiao hummed softly, "Okay, we'll go to college together."

Only after seeing Luo Yanran enter the house did Xie Xiao turn to leave.

It was still early, so he planned to take the bus.

Luo Yanran was in high spirits,

holding the things Xie Xiao had given her and thinking of the family portrait she had seen at his house.

Xie Xiao resembled his mother a lot, and his family gave off a very warm impression.

Such parents must have raised someone as outstanding and gentle as Xie Xiao, right?

As soon as Auntie saw Luo Yanran return, she hurriedly said, "Luoluo, you're back? Have you eaten? I've prepared something for you. In our hometown, we always prepare this when someone has an exam..."

Pausing for a moment, Auntie assured, "Don't worry, it's very clean, just to have a bite for good luck."

Auntie had been caring for Luo Yanran since she was five years old and had always been very good to her.

But the former Luo Yanran used to have too many objections to her parents' opinions, as if she ignored a lot of the kindness around her.

Luo Yanran smiled at Auntie, "Okay, I'll have a little, thank you, Auntie."

Auntie sounded pleased, "It's just for good luck, just like the parents who wait outside the school in cheongsams, you know, I'm too chubby to fit in a cheongsam..."

"Auntie, you're not fat..."

Xie Xiao had just reached the bus stop when he received a call from Xie Qingxiao, "Bring some shampoo back for your mom, the supermarket at the entrance of the community has it..."

Xie Xiao chuckled, "Our dear parent, do you remember that your son has an exam tomorrow?"

"Of course, I remember. Why, can't the young master run errands? Isn't it just on the way?" replied Xie Qingxiao without a second thought.

Xie Xiao hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, anything else I need to buy?"

He turned and walked towards the supermarket.

Only to see Zhou Mianmian, wearing a thick coat despite the summer heat, standing at the supermarket's entrance looking at him.

Xie Xiao's tone faltered, "Old Xie, let me order a Meituan runner for you. I'll talk to you when I get back."

Saying so, he turned to head back to the residential area.

Truth be told, Xie Xiao was quite scared—after all, he had an exam the next day and feared Zhou Mianmian might stab him.

Although it sounded ridiculous, he genuinely believed that Zhou Mianmian was somewhat jinxed, feeling that nothing good came from being near her.

He might feel a twinge of sympathy for a beggar on the street, but he genuinely had none for Zhou Mianmian.

Because of the previous life.

Xie Xiao was genuinely afraid of her—it was too risky.

"Xie Xiao!" Zhou Mianmian called out, looking like she was about to chase after him.

Xie Qingxiao's questioning voice came through his ear, "What's happening?"

Xie Xiao felt somewhat helpless, "Ran into a classmate, Zhou Mianmian. Would it be really weird if I ran away now?"

Anyone who saw him bolt after being called might think he had a guilty conscience.

Despite standing far away, Zhou Mianmian had closed the distance quickly and was now right in front of him.

Xie Xiao stepped back, "Let's talk, but don't get too close."

It was only upon closer inspection that he noticed how gaunt Zhou Mianmian looked, pale and still wearing a thick coat in June.

Her numb eyes shifted, looking at the phone in Xie Xiao's hand, "Are you on the phone with Luo Yanran? Do you like her that much?"

Xie Xiao felt a bit embarrassed since, after all, his dad was on the other end of the phone.

His dad said seriously, "Son, just run if you really have to; no shame in that. But why run away? Do you owe her some kind of emotional debt?"
