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

Xie Xiao had been following Luo Yanran for three years.

Now he was on the balcony, watching her face flush and at a loss.

He had also become silent.

He knew what happened afterward.

He had finally mustered up the courage to confess.

But Luo Yanran had an accident.

To save a drowning little girl, she herself drowned and was confirmed dead on the scene when rescued.

She didn't even leave him a sliver of hope.

The flowers he prepared for her that day were beautiful, and the cake he had made himself was filled with pudding.

It wasn't easy to make, he was quite clumsy.

He had learned it for three or four days in advance.

It would have been better if he didn't have to do it himself.

That way, he wouldn't have delayed it for so long, and at least they might have been together before she left.

Xie Xiao felt that this movie was really lengthy.

But Ranran looked really good, even now when her face was flushed and she looked bewildered.

Watching the girl in front of him tremblingly unlock her phone, she hesitated for a few seconds but chose not to change her screensaver.

Her voice came from behind, "Time for dinner, haven't you finished yet?"

"Yeah," she replied, covering her face with her hand, and after taking a deep breath, she turned and went inside.

For so many years, she never made him wait.

Xie Xiao watched as the two of them sat together for dinner, neither of them bringing up the screensaver incident.

After they had cleaned up and it was getting late, Xie Xiao walked her to the door.

Then he spoke, "Uh, will you come over in the next few days?"

Luo Yanran exclaimed, then thought it over, "I probably won't have time tomorrow or the day after, my internship is starting soon. Why, is something the matter?"

"No, can you come over the evening after tomorrow?" Xie Xiao shook his head, looking up at her, "I have some things I want to say to you."

The surprise and anticipation in Luo Yanran's eyes were very clear.

The Xie Xiao by her side wanted to tell himself not to wait until the day after tomorrow but to tell her now that he liked her!

Of course, he couldn't change anything.

He followed behind Luo Yanran, feeling her brisk footsteps, her eyes sparkling, and her smile so sweet.

She could guess what he wanted to say.

Seeing her suddenly say with annoyance, "Ah, I should have told you I was free tomorrow night!"

Her heart was filled with joy, the man she had liked for so long was finally about to take that step.

Xie Xiao couldn't even imagine how happy she must have been back then.

But, until the accident happened, she had still not heard those words… I like you.

Xie Xiao remembered Liu Ou had told her more than once, "Why don't you just confess to him?"

But she always shook her head, silent and dejected, "It won't work, I don't know, if my confession is a kind of coercion and a burden to him, I can't take that step."

Even Luo Ming had once asked, "Are you still together with that guy?"

Luo Yanran then said, "No, we are just friends, Dad."

It almost knocked the breath out of Luo Ming. Read latest chapters on empire

But Luo Yanran was always like this, carrying a conviction within herself.

Doing certain things amidst everyone's misunderstanding.

The persistence was heartbreaking.

Xie Xiao felt it then.

Being with her these few years, he had cried more tears than when he was paralyzed in his previous life.

Because he never knew she had done so much for him.

Xie Xiao still accompanied her back to the dormitory.

Then he waited at the dormitory entrance until she woke up in the morning.

Just like that, he kept her company for two busy days.

On the day they had set up, she wore a beautiful dress and even put on makeup.

Her long hair, with a hint of natural curls, hung down.

Beautiful, dazzling, bright...

No words could describe her beauty at that moment.

Xie Xiao finally saw what she looked like when she was ready to meet him.

Really, she was very beautiful.

Not like the pale, disheveled, and lifeless appearance he saw when he rushed to the hospital in his previous life.

She was his little rose, beautiful and dazzling.

Although he knew it was no use, Xie Xiao still couldn't help but reach out to try and hold her back, "Don't go, don't go outside..."

His voice choked and hoarse.

But it was no use, he couldn't hold on to her.

Just like over the past few years, countless times he had tried to persuade those beside her, "Forget it, don't go."

But it was useless, no one could stop Luo Yanran from running towards Xie Xiao.

Even bad weather wouldn't do it.

As long as she had promised Xie Xiao to come over, nothing could stop her, not time, not place, not weather.

But today the weather was really nice, and the sky was beautiful.

The peak period for leaving work around five or six, her steps were light.

She opened the ride-hailing app and called for a car to wait at the intersection.

But because of traffic, the car was delayed.

Her original steps toward the intersection diverted, heading towards the back of the school instead.

Xie Xiao followed her into Snack Street, to a bubble tea shop.

He ordered the bubble tea he had once said was delicious.

She was buying bubble tea for herself.

Xie Xiao's eyes reddened even more.

Watching her carry the bubble tea to the intersection.

There would be a river...

A child was chasing a dog that ran past them...

No parent in sight, the child, about four or five years old, running recklessly.

Luo Yanran watched her and instinctively wanted to grab the dog, the railing by the river probably too old, both the dog and the little girl fell down.

Everything happened too quickly.

Xie Xiao saw her rush over and he also ran after her.

He saw her drop what she was holding and jump down without hesitation.

He reached out to embrace her, but it was no use.

The screams from the crowd, he couldn't get down into the water.

The rose he couldn't hold was struggling in the water, the little girl got rescued, the dog also got pulled up.

Only his Ranran got caught by something on her leg...

She had looked so beautiful when she left, but now only paleness remained.

The cup of bubble tea she bought for Xie Xiao had spilled.

Right where she had just dropped her things.

His rose bloomed and withered before his eyes.

And he could do nothing.

...

Xie Xiao suddenly sat up in bed, his face full of tears and sweat.

Despair still spreading in his heart.

His breathing was heavy.

For a moment he couldn't distinguish between the dream and reality.

A soft, sleepy voice touched his hand, "What's wrong?"

Xie Xiao slowly turned his head, no lights were on, so she wouldn't see him crying for a while.

But she could feel the sweat on him.

Luo Yanran, her consciousness still fuzzy from sleep, "Why are you sweating so much? Is it too hot?"

But the air conditioning was on.

Luo Yanran said as she sat up, but before she could sit upright, Xie Xiao suddenly reached out and hugged her.

Luo Yanran paused, but the next second she reached out to hug him back, "What's wrong?"

But upon feeling his sweat, Luo Yanran's first reaction was to wonder if he was ill?

She grew anxious, "What's wrong? I'll turn on the light..."

But Xie Xiao held her tight, his voice husky and desperate, "Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

Luo Yanran was at a loss but dared not move; she didn't know what was wrong with Xie Xiao.

Yet she could feel the despair and pain in his brief words.

Luo Yanran relaxed her body, gently stroking his back, "It's alright, did you have a nightmare? I'm right here..."

I'm right here.

At those words, Xie Xiao's tears could no longer be controlled.

Luo Yanran felt the tears fall on her.

Her movement paused, Xie Xiao, crying?
