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

Xie Xiao was a very gentle person. Lin Yu often said Xie Xiao was good at comforting people, but at that moment, he didn't know how to comfort Li Xiu.

Because something felt off, the beginning of their story was somewhat coincidentally similar to his and Luoluo's.

And Xie Xiao thought, if he hadn't been reborn.

Would he and Luoluo have made it this far?

Xie Xiao couldn't confidently say they would have.

Just like in his past life with Zhou Mianmian, if that incident hadn't happened, they probably would have ended up together.

But what about after that?

He lowered his own life to match hers instead of pulling her up with him, which seemed like the wrong start. Could they have lasted until the end?

But Li Xiu was the one pulling her boyfriend forward, yet they still hadn't made it to the end.

Suddenly, Xie Xiao felt that it really hadn't been easy for him and Luo Yanran to come this far.

Before, Xie Xiao had heard many people envy his relationship with Luo Yanran, and he just listened and then smiled.

In fact, he didn't feel much.

But it wasn't until after Li Xiu's story finished that he realized he was luckier than most people.

He was young and with the person he loved, and they had always been together.

They would soon get married and register, moving onto another stage of life.

They firmly liked each other and never doubted their love over anything else or anyone else.

They truly were lucky...

Thankfully, it seemed Li Xiu really couldn't keep it in anymore and just wanted to vent without needing a response.

After reaching the neighborhood, she politely thanked him and returned to her own home.

Xie Xiao watched her thin figure walk into her house alone.

The houses here were mostly suites.

In her story, they had seriously visited many properties before choosing this neighborhood. At that time, they must have been full of drive and anticipation for the future.

Unfortunately, the end of the story is disappointing.

Xie Xiao sighed, about to open the door when it was pulled open from inside.

Luo Yanran was surprised to see him standing at the door, then smiled, "Why aren't you coming in after getting back? Take the trash out for me first, I don't feel like going out, it's so cold~"

She handed him the garbage she was holding.

Xie Xiao took it, snapping out of his vacant mood, "I'll throw it away, go inside and get dressed quickly!"

Luo Yanran obediently nodded, "Okay."

Xie Xiao turned to dispose of the trash. The door to the home was left open, emitting a warm yellow glow.

Xie Xiao knew the person inside was waiting for him to come home.

Xie Xiao smiled, their story was different from Li Xiu's.

They must have a perfect ending.

Xie Xiao pushed the door open and smelled something delicious. Luo Yanran came out of the kitchen with two bowls of soup, "Wash your hands and drink the soup first!"

Xie Xiao responded, took off his coat, and walked over, "Did you get off work on time today? How come you've made soup?"

"Yeah, it's been so cold lately. Mom called me last night, telling us to take care of ourselves..." Luo Yanran spoke softly, her gaze following Xie Xiao wherever he went.

She obediently sat at the dining table, waiting for Xie Xiao to sit down and kiss her on the face before she started to smile and drink soup with him.

The two of them quietly shared the day's events at the dining room.

In fact, they talked like this every day; there wasn't much to talk about.

But they still habitually shared with each other.

No one was on their phone, and there was no silent eating while each person played with their phone.

Xie Xiao talked about encountering Li Xiu and her ex-boyfriend on the road, and he also shared their story.

After listening, Luo Yanran's eyes filled with regret, "She must be really sad."

"Hmm? Li Xiu? She does seem very sad," Xie Xiao said after finishing the last sip of soup.

But Luo Yanran earnestly said, "Not just her, he must be sad too. The saddest thing is that it seems they can't become 'us' anymore."

It sounded a bit of a tongue-twister and rather literary.

But Xie Xiao understood it.

He seriously thought that while listening to the story, more people probably felt sorry for Li Xiu, right?

Because Li Xiu was the storyteller.

But what about that man?

Xie Xiao recalled that the man appeared older than any of them.

He also looked older than Li Xiu, yet his eyes still shone brightly when he looked at her.

Once he must have been a spirited young man too, which is why he had won the girl's affection.

But now the young man had turned into a man, become just like any ordinary person on the street.

He strived to follow the girl he liked, but it seemed he couldn't catch up.

How desperate he must have felt...

Xie Xiao felt like he could understand that kind of emotion.

Luo Yanran could too, right? That's why she said that he was also very upset.

The process of desperately trying to catch up is exhausting, and indeed, it can give rise to the impulse to retreat.

This is normal, no matter how strong a person is, everyone has human blood, human feelings.

They will experience all sorts of emotions.

The man left many times but still chose to stay.

He couldn't let go.

Li Xiu couldn't let go either, could she...

Otherwise, she wouldn't choose not to call the police, and her look at the man wouldn't be so sad.

Emotions like these, they're too hard for outsiders to judge.

Xie Xiao reached out and held Luo Yanran's hand, "We need to be good to each other."

Luo Yanran snapped back to reality, showing him a smile, "Of course, I can't possibly let go of your hand, unless I'm dead." Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire

It was just a casual remark.

But thinking of unpleasant memories, Xie Xiao's face turned ugly, "Don't talk nonsense!"

His voice uncontrollably grew a bit louder.

Luo Yanran was startled by him, "Ah? Sorry."

She said it reflexively without knowing why she needed to apologize.

Looking somewhat innocent at Xie Xiao.

Xie Xiao realized he had overreacted and took a deep breath, "Sorry, my tone wasn't very nice. I just..."

He paused a moment, "I just don't like you talking about that. We will always be healthy and live a long life."

Xie Xiao lifted Luo Yanran's hand to his lips and kissed it, "We are so lucky, so we will continue to be lucky, and in the future, we will see our children and grandchildren around us..."

He spoke softly of the future.

His eyes were determined.

Having been through so much, only then could they be together, so they would always stay together.

There would be no accidents.

Xie Xiao wouldn't accept any accidents...

Luo Yanran looked at Xie Xiao in front of her, unable to understand his complex emotions.

But she could clearly see the steadfast love in his eyes.

So she took the initiative to wrap her arms around Xie Xiao's neck and leaned in for a kiss, "Sorry, I won't talk nonsense anymore. We will definitely be just fine, fine and forever together."

Luo Yanran stared into Xie Xiao's eyes and said earnestly, "Xie Xiao, I love you. I might not have said it recently, but you should know, I love you."

Just as I have always known how much you love me.

We will grow old together.
