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

Chapter 41: 41: Relationships with Senior Luo in the Future

Interrupted by Xie Xiao, Lin Yu indeed temporarily forgot what he was going to ask.

He handed Xie Xiao the breakfast he was supposed to bring him, "Eat quickly, class will start soon."

Then he saw the guy take out another set of breakfast, "I forgot to tell you not to pack it, I already have one..."

Lin Yu: ????

He stared at Xie Xiao without speaking.

Xie Xiao sighed, thinking of the breakfast Luo Yanran brought and feeling a bit boastful, so he said with a smile, "I didn't know Luo senior would bring me breakfast."

As he spoke, he pulled out a porcelain doll from his backpack, "Isn't it pretty?"

Lin Yu rolled his eyes, "Crazy!"

Then he ignored him, reached out to pat the front desk, "Hey Li, did you have breakfast?"

"Yu, do you have extras? I could eat another meal!" Li Hua turned around and said to Lin Yu with a grin.

Lin Yu pushed the breakfast toward him, "Then eat."

Li Hua said thanks, happily took the breakfast, turned around, but couldn't help looking at Xie Xiao, who was eating breakfast and seemed in a good mood, "Xiao brother, what's going on with you, Zhou Mianmian, and Luo senior?"

He arrived early today and had basically heard everything from when Zhou Mianmian came in… it was quite a spectacle!

And from the sound of it, Luo senior was involved too, right?

He also heard from a few others who came early that today's breakfast for Xie Xiao was sent by Luo senior.

This information was kind of big.

In their little group, everyone was waiting for his firsthand news. Seeing that Xie Xiao seemed upbeat, Li Hua finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Xie Xiao, who had been eating rice noodle rolls, stopped and looked up at him.

Li Hua, their class's know-it-all.

Whatever gossip there was, he was a bit involved.

Seeing him looking expectantly at himself, Xie Xiao smiled, "Didn't you hear everything? I have nothing to do with Zhou Mianmian, and as for Luo senior, not at the moment."

Li Hua's eyes lit up, and the surrounding eavesdropping classmates looked like they understood.

This "not at the moment" didn't deny that there might be something later, did it?

Actually, the classmates had always been puzzled about what Zhou Mianmian was thinking.

Xie Xiao had been so good to her before, and with his own conditions, if it had been another girl, she would have agreed long ago.

Only Zhou Mianmian kept holding back, even claiming they were just friends.

People in the class even thought it might be some sort of flirtation between the two.

But this semester at the start of school, the two of them just broke it off.

A lot of the girls were secretly pleased.

Some because they couldn't stand Zhou Mianmian, thinking she was snobby.

Others had a crush on Xie Xiao.

Finally seeing those two break up, those with crushes thought they might have a chance.

But now Luo Yanran showed up.

Well, now they had no chance at all.

However, most of the girls were still accepting of this outcome.

Firstly because everyone had seen Zhou Mianmian's attitude over the past two years, and even though guys might not see through her, the girls sure did.

Secondly, Luo Yanran was just too good a match, a real beauty and rich, and she looked good with Xie Xiao.

With just a few words from Xie Xiao, nearly the entire class knew by morning, and someone even posted it on the school forum.

Luo Yanran found out about it from Liu Ou gossiping after lunch, and she even chuckled as she shook her phone, "I even asked Lin Yu about it, and he said that was indeed what Xie Xiao said."

Luo Yanran placed the cat food and cans in the usual spot and pulled her away a bit, "How do you even have time to look at this?"

"Check it out during the break, one of our classmates sent it to me. They think you're too aloof and didn't dare to send it to you."

Liu Ou gently nudged her, "Are you going to look at it or what~"

Luo Yanran initially wanted to say she was bored and then refuse, but she was still a bit curious and glanced at Liu Ou, "What does it say?"

Liu Ou couldn't help but pinch her face, "Why are you so cute~"

Then she shoved the phone into her hands, "Check for yourself."

Luo Yanran, blushing from being called cute, retorted, "Where am I cute! You're just babbling!"

But her eyes were already looking at the phone.

It read, "I have no relation with Zhou Mianmian and no current relation with Luo senior either, but that might change in the future."

These words didn't sound like something Xie Xiao would say.

Luo Yanran handed the phone back to Liu Ou, "This must be fake, right?"

"Not really, it's more or less what he meant. Lin Yu heard it himself at the scene; the poster probably paraphrased the gist of it, not the exact words." Liu Ou said as she opened the chat records with Lin Yu.

Lin Yu responded to Liu Ou's inquiry with six ellipses, followed by a message: "It's more or less what he meant, I was sitting next to him this morning."

Luo Yanran looked at the message, her fingers twitched slightly. So he did say it, but it still didn't sound quite like him…

Liu Ou looked at her with a smile, "If you don't believe it, why not ask Xie Xiao yourself, or should I ask him for you?"

"Don't!" Luo Yanran stopped her without a second thought.

Then she met Liu Ou's 'I-knew-it' gaze.

This made her a bit embarrassed, "Don't ask anymore, let it be. Weren't you the one who told me to prioritize studying? How come you gossip all day..."

Saying this, she didn't wait for Liu Ou to respond and pulled her back, "Let's go, let's go!"

Although Luo Yanran didn't ask further, she still kept it in mind.

Xie Xiao really said such things.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but to smile.

Her good mood persisted.

Xie Xiao did not dwell on the morning's incident and was engrossed in solving problems, dragging Lin Yu along for a frenetic problem-solving session.

Solving problems made him happy.

He even encountered a problem similar to one from the college entrance exams in his previous life.

At first, he just felt it was familiar because it had been so long, and he genuinely didn't remember.

But as he continued, the problem type started to seem more familiar.

So after finishing it, Xie Xiao even copied it down, took a photo, and sent it to Luo Yanran with the message, "Teacher Luo, I'd like a detailed solution to this problem."

Then he tossed the problem to Lin Yu, "Come on, try this one, it's pretty interesting! Lin Yu's grades weren't very high in the class, above average. In his last life, he barely passed the cut-off for key universities in the college entrance exams and ended up enrolling in a mediocre local university.

Because he couldn't be far from his grandmother.

This life, Xie Xiao hoped that even if Lin Yu stayed in the city, he could get into that 985 university."

Lin Yu glanced at the problem Xie Xiao had thrown his way, didn't think much of it, picked up his pen and began to work.

By the second semester of their senior year, their class time was actually not much, most of the time they were engaged in solving problems, taking exams, and teacher explanations.

The days were fulfilling, but also tiring.

Today, unusually, Lin Yu didn't dash off right after class but finished the problem Xie Xiao had thrown at him and tossed it back onto his desk, "Check the answers, I'll look at it again tomorrow if it's wrong. I'm leaving."

It was late today; he had to go pick up his grandmother.

Xie Xiao also started packing his stuff and said, "Wait up, I'll come with you today."

Lin Yu looked at him, "For a late-night snack?"

"Right, Doctor Yang is on an overnight shift tonight, and our Mr. Xie took the students on a field trip, staying out overnight. It's just me at home." Xie Xiao sighed, "Let's grab a late-night snack before heading back."
