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

Chapter 157 The things one cares about so much, yet those who get them don't care at all.



The two briefly met on the third day of military training.

And incidentally went viral on the forum for a moment.

That very day someone posted the video on the forum, starting from Luo Yanran's assertive comment, "Report to the instructor, he has a girlfriend."

This made the new school couple a minor sensation.

And someone recognized Xie Xiao.

Xie Xiao found this out on the fourteenth day of military training.

At that time, they had just finished eating in the school cafeteria and were ready to leave.

Two boys walked over and kept staring at Xie Xiao's face.

Xie Xiao: ...

Why does it feel like they are looking for trouble?

Qi Yan raised an eyebrow, looking at the two boys blocking their path, "Is there something you need?"

One of the boys stared at Xie Xiao's face for a long time. "Haven't you streamed before?"

Xie Xiao paused, streamed?

Yes, he had, with Lin Yu.

And not just once.

He looked at the boy hesitantly, "Yes, you are..."

"I'm your fan!" the boy seemed excited, "I thought you looked familiar when I saw your video on the forum, but it was too dark in that video. I never expected to run into you in the cafeteria."

Xie Xiao quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, don't say fan, that account is a friend's, I just appeared occasionally."

The boy was still very happy, "No worries, I just wanted to confirm it. I've seen both your streams and your videos, and they were great."

The boy genuinely looked excited, "Back in my senior year of high school, the academic pressure was too much, and I started to have aversions to food, but every time I watched you visit the night markets, it made me crave..."

The other three in the dorm watched as the boy, nearly about to ask Xie Xiao for an autograph, buzzed with excitement.

Xie Xiao felt it was a bit exaggerated, but now they were classmates, so he added the boy on WeChat.

Before the boy left, he asked, "By the way, I'm also in the School of Law, is Luo Yanran the 'little sister' you mentioned in your video?"

Xie Xiao smiled and nodded, "Yes, she is. It's a secret. Shush!"

And with that, he raised his index finger to his lips.

The boy nodded, "I got it, I won't blab online."

He seemed somewhat excited, "I hope you go from school uniforms to wedding dresses, I'll keep an eye on you guys."

Xie Xiao smiled and thanked him.

After the boy left, Lu Ci finally spoke up, "Wait, you are somewhat of an internet celebrity?

"Why do you seem like a character from a novel? Layer after layer of secrets?" Qi Yan sounded almost resentful, "My halo can hardly suppress yours."

Shen Jun'an just chuckled twice, "Be honest, is there anything else?"

Xie Xiao raised his hands in surrender, "Really, there's nothing else. The reason I used to stream was that I helped a friend out, I'm not any kind of internet celebrity."

Xie Xiao sounded helpless, then added after a thought, "Not ruling out the possibility for the future though. I really think there is something to be done in the livestreaming industry."

Unexpectedly, Shen Jun'an nodded, "Indeed, I've paid attention to it before..."

"Really? If I have the money, I could invest. Do you guys have any ideas?"

"What? Why did we suddenly start talking about this?"

Since they were all sharp-minded people, once the conversation started, ideas began to flow.

By the time they walked back to the dorm, they were almost ready to start a company.

Qi Yan was quite excited, "Why not go for it? I can ask my dad for some money."

Xie Xiao was speechless, "Wait, are you sure you won't get scammed like that?"

It always felt like a brainwash session followed by spending.

Qi Yan laughed and said, "Not many people can deceive me, unless they take turns brainwashing me like you three, and if that's the case, it's not impossible."

The three of them bowed to him.

Of course, they couldn't really just start like that.

Having an idea was good, but a lot needed to be prepared for implementation.

And since school had just started, they didn't have enough time.

But Qi Yan was serious, "Really consider everyone's input, we could genuinely make this work."

Xie Xiao nodded, affirming, "This will be a hot industry in the future, but don't rush into it."

In the end, they had to temporarily set it aside to give everyone time to think about it.

That evening, when Xie Xiao called Luo Yanran, he mentioned encountering a fan and also shared about his dorm mates suddenly wanting to start a company, his tone light, "Everyone in the dorm seems to really click."

Luo Yanran's tone was envious, "That's so nice, guys seem to get along so easily."

Xie Xiao sensed something in her words, his smile slightly tightening, "Are you not having a good time in your dorm?"

The two had discussed it before, agreeing that staying in the dormitory at the start of freshman year was necessary to avoid being out of the loop.

They planned to move out together in their sophomore year.

However, if Luo Yanran was unhappy in her dorm, Xie Xiao wouldn't mind moving out now.

After all, her father had bought an apartment which was already furnished, and if it came down to it, renting a house was something Xie Xiao felt he could handle.

Hearing the concern in his voice, Luo Yanran quickly said, "It's nothing."

It wasn't really a big deal, but girls seemed to need more of a visual connection to get along.

Luo Yanran was also in a four-person dormitory.

Her roommates were all from different places.

They got along alright, but one of the girls used to attend the same school as another girl from the next dorm, who had also had her photo posted online.

As for the campus beauty contest, Luo Yanran truly couldn't be blamed.

She hadn't even participated; she found out about it only after the results were announced.

But the other girl seemed to mind the results quite a bit.

So the girls in the dorm were quite cold towards Luo Yanran.

Adding to that, Luo Yanran herself had a cool and aloof demeanor and was living in a dorm for the first time, not knowing how to handle this awkward situation.

After speaking, she sighed softly, "The other two roommates are alright, though..."

Xie Xiao felt a pang of sympathy; he sighed, "Do you girls really care so much about beauty contests?"

Luo Yanran also sighed, "I don't know."

She truly didn't care.

Xie Xiao knew her personality well.

Perhaps, he guessed, this made the other person even angrier? Someone being so indifferent about something she cared deeply about.

This contrast made it even harder to accept.

"It's okay, after living together for a while she'll understand your personality," Xie Xiao, unsure how to deal with relationships among girls, hesitated and then said, "Why don't you ask Liu Ou?"

Listening to him so earnestly think about how to help her manage relationships with her roommates, Luo Yanran chuckled, "It's fine, don't worry, just like you said, after living together for a while, they'll know my personality."

Her voice carried a note of resignation, "Anyway, it's not like I've never encountered this kind of thing before."

This made Xie Xiao even more heartachy.

Luo Yanran's personality indeed wasn't the most amiable, which was why when Xie Xiao first met her she had been isolated in a small cubicle.

But a personality isn't developed overnight, and it's quite hard to change at her age.

Xie Xiao was unwilling to let her force herself to conform to others. Your next read is at empire
