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

Chapter 58 : 58: Maybe I Miss You a Little

Grandma quickly prepared the items for the evening stall and carefully packed them one by one into boxes, placing them on the stall.

She then shouted into the kitchen, "You rascal, have you washed the vegetables yet?"

Lin Yu responded reluctantly, "Yes, yes, your dear grandson wants to eat your braised pork ribs tonight. How come people still pick dishes when they come over for dinner..."

"Always the chatterbox, don't you love it too?" Grandma slapped him lightly, "Go out and play with Xiao Xie."

Grandma glanced at Xie Xiao, "Aren't you tired holding that thing? Go out and sit; there's going to be a lot of smoke soon."

Xie Xiao laughed, "Shooting a bit with grandma, Grandma's cooking smells so good~"

"Hahaha, Xiao Xie, what kind of accent is that 'so good'..."

Xie Xiao stayed a bit longer chatting and filming Grandma cooking before he came out.

Lin Yu had set up two chairs with two bottles of Coke waiting for him. He handed one over as he saw him, "A treasure indeed. The old lady won't let me drink it; I don't know who spread the rumor that Coke '___!'"

Lin Yu was somewhat speechless about this.

Xie Xiao just took a gulp of Coke and almost sprayed it out.

He coughed severely, his face flushed, and finally he said, laughing, "This old lady is pretty trendy!"

Lin Yu chuckled too, "Probably hearsay from some aunt or uncle at the market. Luckily this old lady doesn't use a cell phone; otherwise, I feel like I'd be in trouble..."

Xie Xiao laughed out loud.

Grandma in the kitchen glanced outside and could still hear her grandson's laughter mixed with Xie Xiao's.

She felt relieved in her heart.

Thankfully Xie Xiao was a good kid. After the family debt issue emerged, what she worried about most was little Yu, afraid he'd be looked down upon at school or that his friends would distance themselves from him.

Thankfully, they were all good kids...

Grandma's face was lined with wrinkles, her back slightly hunched behind her.

She sighed gently, hoping to hold on for a few more years; little Yu was still young...

Xie Xiao received a message from Luo Yanran after dinner, "I hope you did well on your test."

Then she added as if to cover up, "Lin Yu and Grandma are setting up the stall tonight, right? Liu Ou and I will come to eat; I really want to try Grandma's rice balls."

Xie Xiao looked at the message hoping he did well on his test, wondering if that meant she also wanted to dance for him?

Isn't that a bit shameless?

But it didn't matter, who needs shame when chasing a girlfriend?

He teased Luo Yan, "Telling me you're going to eat rice balls, are you hoping I'll join too? Is this an invitation?"

She replied with a sentence.

"But aren't you already going with them to the stall?"

Xie Xiao clicked his tongue and looked at Lin Yu washing dishes on the side, "Did you tell senior Liu Ou that we're setting up the stall tonight?"

"Yeah, she asked when we will be setting up because she wanted to eat rice balls," Lin Yu said without a second thought, "Is that supposed to be a secret? Are you some kind of celebrity guest?"

He even glanced at Xie Xiao.

But he met Xie Xiao's probing eyes.

For some reason, Lin Yu felt oddly flustered. "What's up?"

"You've been in touch with senior Liu Ou quite a bit, huh?" Xie Xiao slowly spoke.

Lin Yu rolled his eyes, "Crazy."

Then he carefully put away the dishes and utensils.

Xie Xiao muttered a few times, feeling like he saw Lin Yu's ears turn red?

But since his skin was dark, it wasn't clear.

They helped Grandma set up the stall just before seven, early to secure a good spot.

They could start selling a bit early, planning to begin their live stream only at ten at night since it was "Late Night Cafe for Tall Men."

Cough cough, that title was Xie Xiao's insistence; Lin Yu really disliked it.

Their timing was neither too early nor too late, and they managed to secure their usual spot.

Several stall owners nearby saw them coming and asked a few caring questions.

The stall owner who had been beaten before even came over and asked, "Is the old lady okay? She hasn't set up her stall for the last few days."

Grandma smiled and said, "I'm fine, thank you so much that day. How are your injuries?"

"What could they be, they even compensated. As long as you're fine," the uncle said smiling, looking at the old lady and the two youngsters, softly comforting, "Everything will get better."

The lives of ordinary people are not easy, but with effort, things will improve.

The auntie selling lemon tea even asked, "Do the two young brothers want to drink some lemon tea? Wow, handsome!"

"That's true, these kids look good..."

People nearby kindly didn't bring up that night's event; everyone showed their concern in their own way.

Grandma's smile never faded.

Xie Xiao, with his charming manner, kept thanking everyone with a "thank you, uncle" and "thank you, auntie."

Even Lin Yu's face broke into a smile, his eyes slightly warming.

After all, they were still young, and their emotional control wasn't very good.

As the flow of people gradually increased, everyone slowly dispersed and started getting busy with their own things.

Everything was still the same as before, nothing had changed.

Xie Xiao, holding the camera, captured Lin Yu's reddened eyes and asked with a smile, "Young man, is there still true affection in this world?"

An irritable Lin Yu cursed at him, "Get lost!"

Xie Xiao really did get lost; he took his camera and started filming the entire food street, capturing every stall.

This piqued the curiosity of several stall owners who asked if it was an interview?

Xie Xiao laughed and said, "No, just capturing the essence of life, the myriad states of being~"

People smiled as they watched him film.

Xie Xiao was so earnest in his filming that he didn't notice when Luo Yanran arrived.

Luo Yanran originally didn't want to come so early, as it might seem like she was eager to see Xie Xiao?

But Liu Ou said her family wasn't home that night, and she had only had instant noodles, now feeling very hungry.

So Luo Yanran had come.

And indeed, she kinda wanted to see Xie Xiao a bit sooner.

Because he had been busy studying for the monthly tests, they hadn't seen each other for at least four days.

Well, video calls didn't count.

She, of course, knew what he was working so hard for.

Thinking of this, Luo Yanran's face blushed a bit.

Liu Ou called out to Xie Xiao's back.

Xie Xiao, who was filming oysters at the time, turned around along with his camera.

He uttered surprised, "How come there are two such beautiful girls here?"

Yet, as he spoke, his gaze lingered on Luo Yanran.

Indeed, she was very beautiful; she wasn't wearing her school uniform today, probably coming from home. Discover worlds on m-v le-mpyr

Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, wearing a short-sleeved top and a short skirt that revealed her long, glowing, straight legs that were quite eye-catching.

Xie Xiao sighed internally, Ah, such beautiful legs that could dance, but he wondered if he'd ever get the chance to see them.

Liu Ou said without hesitation, "Your compliments lack sincerity when you're looking at one but complimenting two."

Xie Xiao apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry, senior sister, my mistake."

He glanced at the camera battery and turned it off, "Why did you guys come so early?"

"Because I didn't have dinner." Liu Ou said as she moved forward, "Quick, quick, quick, I need to find grandma to recharge!"

Xie Xiao looked to Luo Yanran, "What about you?"

She looked at Xie Xiao and said softly, "Maybe because I missed you a little."
