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

Xie Xiao strode towards her, and a smile unconsciously graced Luo Yanran's face.

From confessing their feelings to parting last night, they had been together for less than an hour.

This made the newly dating couple feel as though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, despite it only being one night.

Xie Xiao reached out and took her hand, "Have you been waiting long?"

A few boys nearby, who had planned to come up to ask for her contact information just moments ago, could only walk away in disappointment upon seeing Xie Xiao.

They said this beautiful girl must definitely have a partner!

Luo Yanran shook her head, "Just arrived."

Xie Xiao looked at her and earnestly said, "You look very beautiful today."

Luo Yanran didn't want her emotions to show too obviously, but the joy in her heart was like a shaken soda, bubbling continuously inside her.

Xie Xiao's sincere compliment made her feel that her morning's dilemmas had not been wasted. She slightly lowered her head and whispered a "Thank you."

Then she heard Xie Xiao ask, "So, can I hug you now?"

Although he asked in an inquiring tone, his arms were already wrapping her into an embrace.

Luo Yanran wasn't used to being hugged in such a crowded place and initially stiffened.

But then she felt Xie Xiao gently resting his head on her shoulder.

She hesitated for a moment, then gently wrapped her arms around his waist and softly stroked his back, "Are you upset about something?"

Xie Xiao was momentarily stunned. Was it that obvious?

She had sensed his mood as soon as they met?

He savored the pleasant scent on her, her soft hair gently brushing against his face, "Why do you ask that?"

Embracing her felt like a night's dream had instantly shattered; the girl in his arms wasn't lonely or sad. Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e-NovelFire

She obediently let herself be held, softly inquiring if he was feeling down.

The seemingly slightly arrogant girl was actually more considerate than anyone else.

"No, it's just, I was thinking, would it be okay if I treat you to something? Don't be upset," she whispered softly, then added, "Isn't today our first date?"

If you are upset, I will be very sad.

Xie Xiao immediately smiled. He slightly pulled back to lift his head from her slender shoulders and reached up to tidy her hair, "I'm not upset. I was just thinking about our date since last night; I barely slept, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw you in my dreams..."

This was all true.

Luo Yanran's eyes widened in surprise as she recalled his somewhat disheveled appearance from last night crouching on the ground.

Seeing her in his dreams all night... was this dream really decent?

It had to be said that sometimes, people who excel in their studies remember even the content from biology class very clearly.

So Xie Xiao saw Luo Yanran avert her gaze, unable to meet his eyes, and stutter, "This... there should be limits."

It was Xie Xiao's turn to be stunned. Limits to what?

He watched as Luo Yanran's ears slowly turned red under his gaze and suddenly understood.

He suddenly remembered a conversation with some boys in his class where someone had said, "When girls get dirty-minded, boys have nothing on them!"

At the time, he had just laughed it off.

But now, seeing those slowly reddening ears, he teasingly asked, "Limits to what, exactly?"

Sure enough, Luo Yanran shot him a quick glance before turning away, "I mean, just like they say in biology class, there should be limits, you're watching live streams and then dreaming..."

As she spoke, she glanced at the bustling street, feeling too embarrassed to say much more, and her voice dropped even lower, "Anyway, health is important, and such stuff..."

As she spoke, she couldn't continue, stomping her foot with a mix of urgency and annoyance, "Never mind, you know what I mean."

She didn't want to talk about these things, but he was her boyfriend after all, and she was always worried about him...

Throughout this conversation, Luo Yanran couldn't bring herself to look at Xie Xiao, wondering who would discuss such a topic on their first date...

Thus, she naturally didn't see the smile on Xie Xiao's face that he was barely controlling.

Seeing her becoming flustered and wanting to disappear on the spot, Xie Xiao finally spoke with a smile, "I didn't have any weird dreams, although you were indeed in my dream, but it was unrelated to any physiology class..."

With that statement, Luo Yanran became even more embarrassed, making her feel like she was assuming too much.

She murmured with her head down, "I just remembered I have something else to do, I need to go."

As she turned to leave, Xie Xiao quickly grabbed her, "Hey, I was wrong, I did think about it, but I didn't dream about it last night..."

Upon saying this, Xie Xiao felt even more uneasy.

Dammit, why does it sound like I'm a pervert?

He sighed, "Ranran, listen to me, I didn't mean it like that..."

But before he could figure out how to explain, Luo Yanran couldn't take it anymore. She turned and swiftly covered his mouth with her hand, speaking fiercely, "Stop talking, if you keep this up, we really are done here today."

Xie Xiao blinked, feeling her soft hand on his lips.

He curved his lips into a smile, nodding to signal that he would stop talking.

Just as she was about to retract her hand, he quickly kissed her palm, then smiled, "Let's not talk about it anymore, how about we go eat?"

Luo Yanran felt a tingling sensation starting from her kissed palm and spreading through her hand.

Before she could recover from this feeling, Xie Xiao had already taken her hand, "What would you like to eat?"

Luo Yanran moved her fingers, and without waiting for her to act, Xie Xiao had already grasped her hand tightly.

Noticing her preference for this gesture, he asked, "Do you like holding hands this way?"

Luo Yanran nodded, "I like the feeling of holding hands tightly with you."

She tilted her head to look at Xie Xiao, "Because it makes me feel like we are very close."

Xie Xiao's heart skipped a beat at her tilt of the head, finding it incredibly adorable.

He took a deep breath, looking away, "My heartbeat is a bit fast."

Luo Yanran also dared not look at him, since the topic they started with today was so strange, and her heart still hadn't fully calmed down.

She thought for a moment and changed the subject, "Where shall we go after we eat?"

She had been thinking about his mention of doing things that couples do since last night.

She had even looked up online this morning what couples are supposed to do...

The answers varied widely, some totally outrageous, making her blush as she read.

But it was their first date, after all, Xie Xiao probably wouldn't be that improper, right?

So she couldn't help but look towards Xie Xiao.

Xie Xiao then smiled, "Let's watch a movie."

He winked at Luo Yanran and whispered, "It's that kind of couple's private cinema I've always been curious about but never had the chance to visit."

Luo Yanran: ...????
