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

Xie Xiao hadn't expected her to suddenly wake up, let alone be startled by her wary gaze.

But considering this was an unfamiliar environment, it was normal for her to wake up...

Seeing her quickly turn red upon realizing, he still found it amusing.

He whispered, "Sorry, did I wake you?"

He had just said he wanted to watch the movie, but then he fell asleep.

It was such a quick self-contradiction, Luo Yanran didn't know how to face Xie Xiao.

Her gaze flickered, she opened her mouth, but eventually, she just murmured, "I'm a bit tired."

Xie Xiao, though playful, wouldn't tease her further when she was genuinely awkward, just touched her face and asked, "Do you want to continue sleeping? There's about twenty minutes left."

How could she possibly sleep now?

Luo Yanran was just about to get up when she realized their position was rather intimate, with her almost completely embraced in Xie Xiao's arms.

The movement she had intended to make suddenly slowed down.

Who doesn't have their little selfish moments?

She wanted Xie Xiao to hold her a bit longer since she had just woken up and couldn't help but be enamored with this closeness.

Xie Xiao held her in his arms, naturally not letting go of his soft, cuddly girlfriend.

Only, he wondered if her position was uncomfortable.

So he wrapped his arm around her waist and softly said, "Move a little closer, are you tired?"

Luo Yanran shook her head, afraid that she might say something uncontrollable that would break the intimate atmosphere.

Thus, without a word, she obediently settled closer to him.

That brought them much closer together.

Xie Xiao thought that this was the right distance for a date.

Their legs touched; she was half-leaning against him.

His body seemed to naturally carry the fragrance of peach.

Sweet and sour.

At that thought, he couldn't help but swallow.

Then he felt maybe he was being a bit creepy.

But he couldn't control himself from thinking more.

After all, in such an environment, at such a distance, it seemed normal for his thoughts to wander, right?

They were very close but neither spoke.

Luo Yanran's head slowly leaned against Xie Xiao.

Her body stiffened then gradually relaxed.

She felt secure.

On the movie screen, images flickered. The breathing of the person beside her was very stable, yet his heartbeat seemed as fast as hers.

Luo Yanran's mind was a jumble of thoughts, the awkwardness of having been caught sleeping now squeezed out by other considerations.

It wasn't until Xie Xiao's gentle kiss landed on her forehead that she snapped back to reality.

She looked up into Xie Xiao's tender gaze.

He reached his hand to cover his eyes.

Xie Xiao covered those bewildered eyes, as the movie screen reached its conclusion.

He bent down to gently kiss her lips, his actions too were tender.

The light turned on, their previously dim, private space suddenly brightened.

He slowly let go of her, then whispered, "The lights are on."

His hand covering hers gradually moved away.

The pink on her face was very pretty.

The moisture on her lips was also very beautiful.

Xie Xiao couldn't resist reaching out to gently wipe the corner of her mouth.

Watching her slowly open her eyes, but somewhat blinded by the light, she closed them again.

It took a moment before she opened them again.

Xie Xiao just watched her, and when Luo Yanran opened her eyes and saw him, she blinked but didn't look away.

The first thing she said was, "How much of the paper did you do?"

After she spoke, she seemed stunned by her own words.

Xie Xiao, somewhat amused, gently pinched her cheek, "Miss Luo is so strict. My eyes felt uncomfortable just now, can I finish the rest tonight when I get home?"

Luo Yanran felt somewhat annoyed inside, she didn't mean to say that, but those were the words that came out.

She felt dejected, her mood dropping, "Xie Xiao, do you think I'm boring?"

Why do these words always slip out?

Without thinking, Xie Xiao replied, "Of course not. I'd never be bored doing anything with you."

Even watching you sleep seems to make time fly too quickly.

Luo Yanran couldn't tell if he was being serious or not, but his words definitely brightened her mood quite a bit.

She looked at Xie Xiao, "The movie is over."

The movie screen was slowly darkening.

Xie Xiao nodded his head and stood up with the iPad in his hand, "Let's go."

He extended his other empty hand towards her.

Luo Yanran looked at his hand, picked up her purse, and took his hand, "Where are we going?"

They had finished eating and watching a movie, and it was only about three or four in the afternoon.

It wasn't time for dinner yet, but she also didn't want to part with him so soon.

Xie Xiao said, "Actually, I haven't decided. I fell asleep halfway through thinking about it last night."

As they were leaving, a waiter who had been knocking on the door next to theirs said, "Good day, the movie has ended."

Seeing them emerge, he flashed them a smile.

Xie Xiao couldn't help but glance at the still-closed door of the neighboring room.

Working here must be pretty awkward...

He and Luo Yanran exchanged glances, both uncontrollably thinking about what they had just been doing inside, and their steps involuntarily quickened.

Until they had left the cinema, the awkwardness Xie Xiao felt ebbed away a bit.

He then remembered something, "Isn't there an extracurricular activity next week?"

This is a tradition at Yizhong, as the high school seniors are under great pressure.

About a hundred days before their final exams, they organize an extracurricular activity. They usually go to parks or museums.

What is commendable is that they don't stay in their own city but go to a neighboring one and spend a night out.

It's officially in order to let the students relax.

This indeed was quite relaxing.

The pressure in grade twelve is really stressful, so such an extracurricular activity becomes a cherished occasion for most students.

Xie Xiao had suddenly remembered this when he woke up this morning.

In his previous life, his class went with the repeaters, but whether Luo Yanran was with them or not, he really couldn't recall.

After all, there were five repeater classes.

Now, he hoped he was with Luo Yanran's group.

Luo Yanran nodded. As the class president, she knew quite a bit, "We're going next Thursday."

Xie Xiao's eyes also lit up, "Then we are together."

Luo Yanran was somewhat surprised; the museum and park over there were places most of the repeaters had already visited, holding no surprise at all.

But it would be different being with Xie Xiao and his group.

Her lips curled up slightly, "You guys found out so quickly?"

"Yes, Li Hua found out and told us," Xie Xiao said as he led her forward. "Li Hua is the classmate we ran into just now..."

"Is his English good? Can he write the letters by himself?"

Her rare humor directly made Xie Xiao burst out laughing, "He's the English class representative. He says it's because he has been determined from a young age to master English to ease his siblings' burdens..."

"Really? Haha, he's funny~"

Xie Xiao stopped walking and looked a bit jealously at her smiling face, "Miss Luo, why are you complimenting someone else? I'm getting jealous."
