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

Xie Xiao was sitting in the restaurant, messaging Luo Yanran.

It was just past noon, and Luo Yanran had just got off the plane. Qi Yan had gone to pick her up.

Still feeling uneasy, Xie Xiao had asked Qi Yan to take Luo Yanran back.

Luo Yanran looked amusedly at Qi Yan, who had brought his cousin along. He was still explaining, "Although we're very familiar now, sister-in-law, isn't this just to avoid any trouble? Bro Xie isn't here, and with the news these days, it's just crazy!"

He had brought his younger cousin, who was a senior in high school and still at home for the vacation. That cousin's name was Qi Yuyu, the same one that Qi Yan's father had mentioned he wanted to introduce to Xie Xiao, was also at home.

But Qi Yan didn't look for her.

At the moment, Qi Yuyu was staring at Luo Yanran's face, "Wow, sister, are you not wearing any makeup? You're so pretty."

Her eyes sparkled as she spoke.

Luo Yanran smiled, "Thank you. I have sunscreen and a BB cream on, so it's not completely bare-faced. You're very pretty too."

That was the truth. The genes in Qi Yan's family were pretty good, and Qi Yuyu was indeed very cute.

Flattered by Luo Yanran's compliment, Qi Yuyu grinned delightedly, "Hehehe, I am pretty good-looking~ But at first, I thought you were my brother's girlfriend, and I was thinking it's a pity that someone as pretty as you has poor taste in men..."

Qi Yan rolled his eyes, "What do you mean by that, Qi Yuyu! But don't talk nonsense, I'm afraid Brother Xie will kill me."

Luo Yanran also said with a smile, "My boyfriend might get jealous."

"Wow, to win over a fairy like you, your boyfriend must be very handsome, right?"

"Yes, he is handsome, and very gentle..."

Suddenly, Qi Yan felt the urge to stop the car and complain to his brother Xie, how come he was just picking up one person, and still managed to get a mouthful of dog food?

On the way, Luo Yanran invited the Qi siblings to have lunch with her.

Meanwhile, she sent a message to inform Xie Xiao that she was safe and also asked how his grandmother was doing.

Xie Xiao was currently in a private room of the restaurant, waiting for Xie Liu to bring Zhang Qiaoqiao over.

Yes, that's right, they were going to break up, and Xie Liu was still so obedient to Zhang Qiaoqiao.

But Xie Xiao didn't say much about it.

If Xie Liu couldn't get rid of her today, it wouldn't surprise him at all.

Xie Xiao looked at Luo Yanran's message with a tender smile in his eyes, and roughly explained what had happened this morning.

Then Luo Yanran replied, [It seems like Xie Liu really doesn't have a firm stance.]

Indeed, Xie Xiao had sensed that too, so he wouldn't be surprised if Xie Liu couldn't break up with her today either.

He put up a symbolic struggle when faced with his family's demands.

Yet when his family took a firm stance, he still chose to compromise, saying he loved Zhang Qiaoqiao but in the end.

That in itself wasn't a big deal, but Xie Xiao had just seen him make a call to arrange a meet-up with Zhang Qiaoqiao and then, at her behest, decided to go pick her up...

This made Xie Xiao realize that Xie Liu really lacked any real stand or conviction.

At this point, he was beginning to regret coming along to support Xie Liu.

But since he was here, it wouldn't be right to just leave either.

Xie Xiao sighed, yet couldn't help feeling pleased when he saw the message from Qi Yan.

Qi Yan's message was a complaint about how he got a mouthful of PDA while driving.

Xie Xiao screenshot the chat and sent it to Luo Yanran, then teased his girlfriend, [So I'm perfect in your eyes?]

From the other end came a few dots, followed by a dry, [Food's here! We're eating.]

Xie Xiao chuckled as he could imagine her expression, probably blushing and covering her phone screen.

At this moment, Xie Xiao was feeling much more relaxed, after all, Qi Yan might look careless, but he was reliable when it came to tasks.

If it were someone else, Xie Xiao might not have been so quick to trust, but Qi Yan was different.

Just then, there was a sound at the door, and Xie Xiao looked over,

He saw Xie Liu push open the door, followed by a girl.

The two of them came in together.

Xie Xiao noticed that Zhang Qiaoqiao had straightened her hair and dyed it back to black.

He thought about how she seemed to still be pregnant, but she didn't care at all about pulling and dyeing her hair.

He had heard before that she even smoked and drank.

Xie Xiao's brow furrowed slightly.

Today, Zhang Qiaoqiao was wearing makeup as usual, but it was light makeup.

She looked like a normal girl.

Xie Xiao greeted her, "You're here? Have a seat."

Xie Liu led her to a seat on one side.

Xie Xiao was completely speechless, Xie Liu and Zhang Qiaoqiao sat down opposite him.

Xie Xiao: ...Have I now become the one who is trying to break up lovers?

He glanced at Xie Liu.

Xie Liu, after catching Xie Xiao's speechless gaze, belatedly realized something seemed off.

But now, getting up and sitting across from them didn't seem right either.

So he didn't move.

Xie Xiao was thoroughly speechless.

The fact that he didn't walk away immediately was because of his good upbringing.

So at this moment, he also didn't speak.

Xie Liu coughed lightly to break the silence, "Have you ordered yet?"

Xie Xiao replied indifferently, "No, we were waiting for you. Hurry up, I need to go back to the hospital after eating."

Zhang Qiaoqiao's gaze fell on Xie Xiao, a smile on her lips, "Hey, Xie Xiao, I feel like you have changed over the years."

Xie Xiao responded, "A normal person will certainly grow up, it's quite normal to change. However, Miss Zhang seems to be pretty much the same as a few years ago, though I don't quite remember."

At that remark, Zhang Qiaoqiao's face darkened slightly.

Xie Xiao did not care whether her face looked good or not, her boyfriend was sitting beside her, staring straight at his cousin, and she didn't seem to have any intention of concealing it.

Xie Xiao pressed the service bell to call the waiter and started ordering directly.

After ordering a few dishes, he looked towards Xie Liu, "You guys order."

Xie Liu asked Zhang Qiaoqiao.

Zhang Qiaoqiao replied with a cold face, "Whatever."

So Xie Liu ordered by himself.

After the waiter left, the room fell into silence again.

Xie Xiao took out his phone and started swiping, obviously not in the mood for conversation.

Zhang Qiaoqiao looked at Xie Xiao, feeling an uncontrollable rage inside.

Xie Xiao still looked down on her, just like before!

On what grounds?

"Are you still with the girl from high school? It's been so long, you must have broken up by now," she spoke up again.

This time, however, Xie Xiao did not entertain her question but instead asked Xie Liu, "Do you still remember why you asked me to come with you?"

Zhang Qiaoqiao was taken aback for a moment before turning to look at Xie Liu, "Didn't you say we were just coming for a meal?"

Xie Liu had told her that, and since Zhang Qiaoqiao didn't have a serious job, spending her days at home.

Now was the dining hour, so when Xie Liu said he was taking her out for a meal, she didn't think too much of it.

Knowing that Xie Xiao would be there, she even made a point of applying makeup.

But Xie Xiao's demeanor and his recent words suggested this was not just a casual meal.

At this moment, when Xie Liu finally saw his girlfriend turn her gaze to him, a slight smirk played at the corners of his mouth, tinged with sarcasm, "Yeah, it's a meal."

"After we eat, I have something to say to you."
