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

Chapter 114 Remember to Bring Your Girlfriend Home for Dinner, Okay?

Although he asked, Xie Xiao knew from the sound of his voice that he had left his home and was walking hastily.

He put down his cellphone, looking at Zhou Mianmian in front of him, "Do you need something?"

Zhou Mianmian looked at the boy in front of her, who was still the same as before—sunny, cheerful, and handsome—something lots of girls liked about him.

Many girls also envied her.

But Zhou Mianmian still couldn't understand, why had things become this way?

How could everything have turned out like this?

Tears were beginning to form in her numbed eyes, "I just don't get it, how could you just take back your feelings like that? Why?"

Her voice took on a crying tone.

During the days she had been hospitalized, she had thought a lot but still hadn't figured out why Xie Xiao didn't like her anymore.

If it were not for Xie Xiao's sudden departure, she wouldn't have ended up like this, would she?

She shouldn't be like this...

Xie Xiao sighed, "Is that what you came to ask? There's an exam tomorrow, you should go back and rest."

He earnestly looked at Zhou Mianmian with drooping eyes, his tone very flat, "I did like you, really liked you, so I wanted to treat you well, wanted to give you everything you liked, but Zhou Mianmian, do you think you deserved it?" Read new adventures at ???

Xie Xiao's gentle voice delivered the most ruthless words like a sharp blade stabbing into Zhou Mianmian's heart.

Her already pale face turned even paler.

Zhou Mianmian suddenly felt that she really didn't know Xie Xiao anymore; he would never have spoken like this before.

Xie Xiao ignored her unpleasing expression and continued in a soft voice, "Liking someone should be mutual, when I was good to you, you not only enjoyed my treatment, you also readily accepted other's courting, saying you couldn't refuse because they were classmates."

Suddenly, Xie Xiao laughed, "Later, I realized, what I was doing was bootlicking, not liking; you don't like me."

"That's not true, I do like you!" Zhou Mianmian said, trembling.

Xie Xiao looked at her, chuckled, and asked, "Really? Then what if I stop buying you things? Stop taking you out to meals? Would you still like me? You also told Yan Shi that you liked him, didn't you? But did you visit him after his leg was injured?"

Zhou Mianmian took a small step back, suddenly unable to meet Xie Xiao's gaze.

"Yan Shi was also good to you, you know that yourself, right? Zhou Mianmian, you didn't really like me either, you just couldn't accept it—wondering why I suddenly didn't like you anymore, you wanted a satisfying answer, but even if you get it, what then? We can't go back."

We can't go back.

That one sentence made Zhou Mianmian suddenly feel that her presence here today was utterly meaningless.

She looked at Xie Xiao in front of her; he truly was the cleanest boy she had ever met.

The way he was good to her was different from other boys.

Everyone else wanted to take advantage of her, but Xie Xiao wasn't like that; he was the kind of boy who would be shy even if she initiated holding hands...

"Xie Xiao, if, if you had confessed before school started and I had accepted, would the outcome have been different?" Zhou Mianmian asked, trembling.

Xie Xiao did not answer her question, but instead countered, "What if I had been injured too, would you have treated me like you did Yan Shi?"

"No!" Zhou Mianmian blurted out without hesitation, "If it were you, you wouldn't have taken me to those places in the middle of the night, you wouldn't have argued with people..."

"But what if I had? What if my leg also got injured?" Xie Xiao asked, his voice soft.

He already knew the answer, his rebuttal had no other meaning but to tell Zhou Mianmian that all her assumptions were pointless.

Zhou Mianmian was at a loss for words.

"Xie Xiao!" a man's voice called out.

Zhou Mianmian, startled, turned and left without looking back.

Xie Xiao looked over and saw Xie Qingxiao, wearing slippers, standing at the entrance of the complex.

He smiled and called out, "Dad."

The weather was hot, and Xie Qingxiao had run down, his back and forehead both sweaty.

He walked over slowly, looking in the direction Zhou Mianmian had run and asked with a frown, "What happened?"

He had been in such a hurry that he hadn't listened carefully to the voice on the phone, fearing he might hear his son screaming.

Xie Xiao shook his head, "I don't know why she came; it was quite baffling."

Xie Qingxiao shifted his gaze, "Let's go, we need to buy shampoo for your mom."

Xie Xiao hung up the phone and, with an "Okay", followed behind him.

Entering the air-conditioned supermarket was much more comfortable.

Xie Qingxiao spoke softly, "I really shouldn't be telling you this, but since she came all the way here today, you must avoid any relationship with Zhou Mianmian at all costs."

Xie Xiao looked at Xie Qingxiao; he had actually asked him about the incident before.

All he had said was not to ask, as it wouldn't be good to be influenced.

Xie Xiao then knew it was complicated and really hadn't asked further.

Now, Xie Qingxiao brought it up himself, probably scared by Zhou Mianmian just now.

The situation was both simple and complex, primarily because kids their age were too impulsive.

Yan Shi had indeed hit Zhou Mianmian, and it had led to an accident.

The boy involved wanted to leave immediately after he found out.

Anyway, the relationships were very complicated.

"Yan Shi's foot was injured a second time; there was a chance for recovery, but now there's hardly any hope. The other boy involved in the fight was from Sanzhong, and now Yan Shi's family is dragging him into compensation disputes. It's just a total mess," sighed Xie Qingxiao.

The police were still unable to mediate the situation.

Xie Qingxiao thought it was all quite unfortunate for Mr. Lin, wondering what this mess was all about.

After listening, Xie Xiao wasn't sure what to say for a moment.

His father said, "Actually, sometimes I still think, thankfully you're no longer involved with her, or else I'd be afraid I'd have to visit you at the hospital."

He said this in jest.

But to some extent, it rang true.

Xie Xiao thought about those years he had spent lying in the hospital in his past life, how his father and Dr. Yang had truly suffered.

In the end, Xie Qingxiao said, "I'm not trying to stop you from making friends, but you also have to consider what kind of friends..."

"I got it, Dad," Xie Xiao put his arm around his shoulder with a laugh, "Why so anxious? I have a girlfriend now. She's very sensible and pretty... "

"Alright, alright, shut it! Didn't you say you'd bring her home for dinner tomorrow? Dr. Yang has already thought about what to cook..."

"Don't worry, when have I ever not kept my word? Just you wait..." Xie Xiao said with a laugh as he glanced towards the entrance of the supermarket.

He knew that he had completely severed ties with Zhou Mianmian.

From now on, such a person would never appear in his life again.

Xie Xiao felt a sense of relief.
