Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Boyfriend, Kiss, Good Night
The girl's naive question made Xie Xiao feel a bit embarrassed.
That is, if one really needed a somewhat sleazy explanation, most boys probably have some preferences.
Well, Xie Xiao likes good-looking legs.
Not to the extent of being sleazy and doing something upon seeing beautiful legs.
But these were his girlfriend's legs, right?
Cough, inevitably, some thoughts would take flight, and a jumble of things would flash through his mind.
But he couldn't say those things, it would make him seem too lewd.
Xie Xiao gave Luo Yanran a smile, but it was a bit forced, "Teacher Luoluo, spare me."
With that remark, the girl, who had been bewildered, paused, then her face began to turn red, and she stepped back a little.
Her gaze flickered as she glanced at Xie Xiao, who was still squatting on the ground.
The boy's ears were also turning red.
She thought back to the fleeting image during their last video call, and considered that perhaps it's quite normal for boys of this age... right?
Luo Yanran also hoped she wouldn't let her mind wander, but those thoughts seemed to have a mind of their own, running wild like a horse without reins, completely uncontrollable.
Her face grew redder and redder, to the point she didn't dare look at Xie Xiao anymore.
The surroundings became very quiet, the awkwardness causing the couple, who had just confessed to each other, to freeze in place.
Xie Xiao still couldn't resist muttering under his breath in frustration, "Fuck, what is this even?"
Luo Yanran heard it, the first time she had ever heard Xie Xiao swear.
She looked at him, speaking softly, "You swore?"
By then, Xie Xiao had cooled down enough to stand up and take a deep breath, looking seriously at the girl a few steps away, "If I weren't so reluctant to part with the girlfriend I just confessed to, I really wish I could just disappear on the spot, it's so embarrassing."
Xie Xiao's face bore an expression of helplessness and regret.
The girl across from him suddenly burst out laughing, unable to control herself, and with a few steps between them, they exchanged glances and both started laughing.
Not sure why, but they just felt like laughing.
Xie Xiao felt like he hadn't laughed this happily in a long time.
When they finally stopped laughing, Xie Xiao had already taken her hand and they were walking back together.
Luo Yanran, as before, transformed the handholding into an interlaced fingers grip.
She liked this position.
Xie Xiao glanced at their intertwined hands, her house was just ahead; just like the last time, the walk was too short.
Luo Yanran whispered, "There are surveillance cameras by my front door."
Xie Xiao's pace halted slightly, and though reluctant, he let go of her hand.
Luo Yanran also stopped, "Just walk me here, it's getting late, you should head back soon."
She looked up and gave him a quick glance, the boy in front of her was now her boyfriend.
Just thinking about that made the corners of her mouth curve up involuntarily.
Officially hers.
Xie Xiao looked at her and said softly, "I don't want to go back."
I want to stay with you.
Luo Yanran felt the same reluctance. Everything that happened tonight felt so sudden, yet so natural.
But after all, how could a new couple bear to part less than half an hour after becoming official?
Xie Xiao looked at Luo Yanran.

Luo Yanran also looked at him, and even though she was urging Xie Xiao to go back, she stood rooted to the spot.
Clearly, she didn't want to leave, but as a girl, she was too shy to say it outright despite her reluctance.
Xie Xiao thought about how much courage she must have gathered to ask him if he liked her.
For Luo Yanran, it must have been a difficult question to ask, right?
He reached out and gently moved the hair sticking to her face, "Are we going to stand here all day like fools? So, girlfriend, can we go on a date tomorrow?"
Luo Yanran's face flushed slightly at the term girlfriend, and she couldn't help but smile slightly, "Okay."
She didn't ask where they were going; it seemed like anywhere with him would do.
Xie Xiao smiled, took out his phone, and called for a car since it was too late for public transport, which had already stopped running.
"It'll be here in three minutes. By the time I walk out, it will be just right. You should head back now. Once I see you go inside, I'll head off too," Xie Xiao said. It was late, and as much as he didn't like it, he couldn't just stand on the roadside like a fool forever.
He was also worried that Luo Yanran might get told off by her family for returning home too late.
Luo Yanran obediently nodded her head and glanced at Xie Xiao.
Seeing that he was only looking at her made her feel a bit disappointed.
She turned and took two steps back.
Xie Xiao watched her take two steps before suddenly stopping and spinning back around to look at him.
Then, with pursed lips, she suddenly dashed towards him.
Xie Xiao was a bit surprised but still stretched out his arms to embrace her.
The girl's fragrant, soft body plunged right into his arms, and just as he was about to lower his head, he saw the person in his arms tilt her head up slightly.
Her soft lips brushed quickly across his.
There was a brief pause, definitely longer than the one at the movie theater.
The softness was even more pronounced.
But he was still given no time to respond.
He felt the girl in his arms push him away quickly and then left him with the words, "Boyfriend, a kiss for goodnight."
And then she turned and ran.
Xie Xiao, left standing there, watched her figure disappear quickly.
He touched his own lips; that soft feeling seemed to still linger on them.
"I..." Xie Xiao covered his face, "got beat to it again."
His voice carried a blend of a sigh and a chuckle.
He looked once more towards the entrance of Luo Yanran's home, feeling a sense of unreality.
It was not until the car he called arrived and the driver phoned him to hurry him along that Xie Xiao turned and walked away.
Clutching his backpack, he walked down the path.
This was when he realized, did he now have a girlfriend?
And had his girlfriend just taken the initiative to kiss him?
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Xie Xiao felt like he was living once again, yet it seemed a bit embarrassing for someone who had been reborn to be so easily excited.
But at this moment, if he weren't worried about disturbing the peace, he would even want to shout out loud!
I've got a girlfriend!
No, wait, it seems like the girlfriend took the initiative, right?
But no matter what, he was now a man with a girlfriend!
Xie Xiao still had an uncontrollable smile on his face all the way to the car.
The driver glanced at this somewhat unusual passenger several times, and the car sped up considerably.
Luo Yanran, after gathering the courage to kiss him, ran off.
By the time she entered the house and the aunt heard her and looked over, asking, "Luoluo, why are you so late tonight?"
Luo Yanran didn't stop, fearing her flushed face would give her away. "Watched a movie with classmates. You should go to sleep early, Auntie. I'm heading up," she said.
The aunt managed only an "Oh" before seeing her dash upstairs.
"This child, why does she look so red? Luoluo, you don't have to run that fast; how will you sleep later..."
The aunt's voice was shut out by Luo Yanran closing the door. She placed a hand over her heart, which was beating wildly, whether from running or the kiss.
Her face turned bright red.
She leaned against the door, her legs feeling weak.
She touched her lips involuntarily; she had really just kissed Xie Xiao…
