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

That was the first time Xie Xiao from his past life met Luo Ming, the first time he saw the great star on TV, Luo's mother.

There was a death-like stillness about them, the hysteria of Luo Ming, his eyes filled with a hatred that made it seem as though he wanted to kill Xie Xiao.

Luo's mother's tears never stopped, her eyes coldly looking at Xie Xiao without any emotion, along with an incomprehension and despair deep within those eyes. She probably wondered what her daughter saw in him.

The young man before her couldn't even manage to get up.

Teacher Xie stood in front of Xie Xiao, while Dr. Yang cried and helped Xie Xiao to his feet.

Xie Xiao learned for the first time that when the human heart died, not even tears could come out.

In his eyes remained only a blank look, as well as the hope to see her one more time.

The last time he saw her, that beautiful girl was only left pale...

It wasn't until Luo Yanran felt Xie Xiao's tears soaking through her clothes and a sob-like choking sound from his mouth that she realized something was wrong.

Luo Yanran's smile froze on her face, and her hand felt Xie Xiao's tears.

She knelt down in a bit of panic, the last time she saw Xie Xiao cry was when he had that nightmare.

Luo Yanran panicked, "What's wrong? What's happened? Xie Xiao, hubby? What's wrong with you?"

She was somewhat at a loss, wrapping her arms around Xie Xiao's head, "It's okay, it will be fine, aren't I here? Didn't I come back to you?"

Her voice was filled with consolation and distress, "Hubby, look at me, right? Look at me."

Xie Xiao lifted his eyes to the Luo Yanran before him, her face overlapping with that of the girl in his memories.

For a moment, Xie Xiao's consciousness became clear again.

That's right, he's with Ranran now, in this life they are very happy, with everything going smoothly.

Xie Xiao's vision was blurry, because of the tears.

He shakily touched Luo Yanran's face, "Ranran..."

He blinked, his voice trembling, "Ranran... that's right, Ranran, you're here."

Xie Xiao bowed his head and kissed Luo Yanran's lips with devotion, they were warm and soft.

The temperature was familiar to him.

Luo Yanran's eyes were full of worry, but she still tenderly returned Xie Xiao's kiss.

After that, Xie Xiao became completely quiet.

But his gaze kept following Luo Yanran.

Such behavior from Xie Xiao was too out of the ordinary, and it wasn't the first time either.

Luo Yanran couldn't make sense of the strange feeling in her heart.

However, until Xie Xiao quietly fell asleep, his breathing very steady.

She had no desire to sleep, despite having tossed and turned all night.

Yet, she still had no trace of sleepiness.

After a long time in the dark, her vision seemed to have returned.

She could see Xie Xiao's outline.

She reached out and gently touched Xie Xiao's face, then his long eyelashes.

His prominent nose, and those somewhat thin lips.

They say that thin-lipped people are heartless, but Xie Xiao obviously wasn't such a person. His depth of feeling, Luo Yanran knew it best.

She sighed softly, "Xie Xiao, do you have some little secret? I don't like this feeling..."

The two times of tear-streaked face and the thick sadness that couldn't dissipate, Luo Yanran couldn't ignore them.

She even saw a death-like stillness about Xie Xiao, without the slightest vitality.

She disliked this feeling... Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Luo Yanran leaned in and gently kissed Xie Xiao's face, "I'll let you have your little secret for now."

But she would find out sooner or later.

The next day Xie Xiao was woken up by Luo Yanran.

His head felt like it was about to split open, Luo Yanran's voice was very gentle, "Get up, we need to see Lin Yu off."

Lin Yu... that's right, Lin Yu was leaving the country today.

Xie Xiao suddenly sat up, then hissed and reached for his head, "Ah, I'm never drinking again."

Luo Yanran had anticipated this and handed him some warm water, "Drink some water, it's good that you took a hangover cure last night, otherwise you'd feel even worse."

Xie Xiao took the water and gulped it down, "Thanks, wife, but I think what I might need is a strong cup of tea."

"What are you drinking strong tea for right after getting up? Hurry and wash up, After breakfast, I'll get you a cup of coffee..."

Luo Yanran behaved as if nothing was amiss.

Xie Xiao had some flashes of memory, but looking at the composed Luo Yanran, he doubted, was he just dreaming?

How did he even dream about crying in his wife's arms?

What a strange dream!

It made no sense, and his head was too uncomfortable.

Eventually, Xie Xiao went to wash up.

Luo Yanran took out the clothes he was going to wear.

The sound of water came from the bathroom, presumably he couldn't stand it and had to take a shower.

When Luo Yanran went out, Xie Qingxiao was sitting at the dining table having breakfast, "Luoluo. Don't wait for that stinky kid, eat while it's hot."

Luo Yanran smiled in agreement and then sat down at the dining table.

Now she had become much more natural. They had been together for so long that it would be inappropriate to continue being prudish and polite.

Both she and Xie Xiao were considering getting a marriage certificate.

And Xie Xiao's family members were all people with a good sense of boundaries, making it comfortable to be with them.

Xie Qingxiao glanced toward the bedroom and asked in a low voice, "Last night I got up for some water, did I hear that stinky kid crying or not?"

His voice was tentative, and looking at Luo Yanran, he thought of his tall son...

He looked somewhat awkward. Why would his son be crying?

Luo Yanran's face briefly stiffened.

This...

Xie Qingxiao noticed and quickly waved his hand, "I just heard a bit of noise last night, might have heard wrong haha, come on, eat quickly."

At that moment, Xie Qingxiao was somewhat annoyed with himself for asking so directly like such a busybody.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's awkward expression.

Anyway, when Xie Xiao came out, he noticed that something was off with Luo Yanran's expression, and his dad also seemed a bit off.

Xie Qingxiao was also going to see Lin Yu off today, so they went together.

Xie Xiao went down with him to get the car, while Luo Yanran had to grab some things and would go down later.

Xie Xiao walked shoulder to shoulder with his father, at this point he was taller than Xie Qingxiao.

It used to be quite similar before.

Xie Qingxiao felt a bit sentimental, "Have you gotten taller again, kid?"

"Maybe? I haven't measured in a while," Xie Xiao replied casually.

Then he suddenly asked, "What happened between you and Ranran just now? Both of your expressions were off."

Xie Qingxiao looked at his son with a subtle glance, "Actually, it's nothing."

After saying this, he took another look at Xie Xiao.

Xie Xiao: ...Do you think you're being subtle?

He sighed, "Come on Xie Qing, let's not talk in circles among family."

Xie Qingxiao sighed, "Asking you would be pointless, weren't you drunk last night? Do you even remember what happened?"

Xie Xiao was startled, "Ah? Last night?"

He couldn't quite remember, but there was a memory of crying while holding Luo Yanran...

Xie Xiao's brow twitched, "I don't remember, what happened?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I might have heard wrong, but anyway, last night when I got up for a drink, I heard you crying..." Xie Qingxiao looked at his son, "I'm just curious what a big tough guy like you would be crying about?"

In his heart, Xie Xiao thought, so it wasn't a dream!
