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

When Xie Xiao first heard the knocking, he thought he had misheard.

It was already past midnight, who would be knocking at this hour?

But after hesitating for a moment, Xie Xiao still walked over to the door and peered through the peephole.

Outside stood a nervous-looking girl at the doorstep.

Perhaps because the door had not been opened, she knocked a few more times.

Xie Xiao didn't open the door immediately but instead asked through it, "Hello, can I help you?"

Perhaps hearing a man's voice made the girl hesitate, and she stood there with her hand raised in a somewhat perplexed manner.

Xie Xiao felt a bit odd, "Hello, is there something you need?"

The girl spoke, still trembling, "Hello, I'm your neighbor from 811, there seems to be someone in my house..."

Her voice was very low, and it was not very clear through the door.

It was then that Luo Yanran came out and saw him oddly leaning against the door; she approached and asked, "What's going on?"

Xie Xiao said, "Someone is knocking, saying she's the neighbor from 811. She says there's someone in her house..."

Luo Yanran paused for a moment, pulled him away, and looked through the peephole herself, "I'll handle this, I met her last month when she moved in."

After Luo Yanran took a glance, she opened the door, "Miss Li."

Standing at the door was a girl still in uniform, who seemed to have just returned from work.

She still wore a look of horror on her face.

Upon seeing Luo Yanran, she felt a bit relieved, as she had almost thought she had gotten the apartment wrong when she heard a man's voice.

"Miss Luo, sorry to disturb you, there seems to be someone in my household, I've already called the police, but they haven't arrived yet, and I'm a bit scared..." Li Xiu now looked a bit embarrassed, especially noticing the man behind Miss Luo who seemed to be undressed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Well, even undressed, he was a handsome guy, though the marks on his body were rather suggestive.

Luo Yanran quickly invited her in, "You should come inside."

Then, with a glance, she noticed Xie Xiao standing behind her undressed, still bearing her teeth marks...

Luo Yanran's face flushed as she slapped him lightly, "Go put on some clothes."

Xie Xiao, apologizing as he saw the neighbor come in and close the door behind her, said, "I'm sorry about that."

He then cautioned Luo Yanran, "Don't just open the door."

Then he turned and went back to get dressed.

As Luo Yanran watched him leave, many more marks were visible on his back.

Her face grew hot, but she still said to Li Xiu, "Sorry, he didn't expect me to open the door."

After Li Xiu came inside and perhaps felt a bit safer, her complexion improved a lot, and she awkwardly said, "Ah, no, I'm the one who should be sorry, I hope I didn't disturb you."

Luo Yanran quickly shook her head, evidently not wishing to dwell on that topic, "Please sit down, I'll get you a glass of water."

Li Xiu followed her into the living room and took a seat.

The place was decorated cozily, with a few books laid on the table beside the sofa; Li Xiu glanced at them, some on law and some on economics.

They seemed to be very close.

On top of the TV stand, there were some photo frames.

At first glance, most appeared to be group photos.

Li Xiu thought of Xie Xiao and then of Luo Yanran, they indeed looked very well-matched.

As Luo Yanran poured water in the kitchen, the heat in her face started to subside.

She hadn't thought much when opening the door, but now it really felt a bit awkward.

At this moment, Xie Xiao, now dressed in clothes and pants, came out.

Mainly because he was a bit uneasy, even though Luo Yanran had said she was a neighbor, in the dead of night it really was hard to relax completely.

When Xie Xiao came out, Li Xiu sat up straighter and gave him an embarrassed smile, "Hello, my name is Li Xiu, I'm from 811."

Xie Xiao nodded at her, "Hello, my name is Xie Xiao. I'm Ranran's boyfriend, and we live here together."

Li Xiu had a somewhat embarrassed look on her face, "I've been over a few times to say hello and bring things, but only Miss Luo was home. I thought she lived alone just like me."

At that moment, Luo Yanran came out with water, "It's because he has been working overtime lately, so every time you came, he just happened to be out."

Li Xiu smiled and said, "I see."

Xie Xiao noticed that although Li Xiu seemed only two or three years older than them, she already appeared very mature,

aside from the initial panic when she entered, she quickly calmed down.

The police arrived shortly after.

Li Xiu went back with the police, and Luo Yanran, feeling uneasy, asked Xie Xiao to follow and check.

When they got there, Li Xiu's home had been burglarized, but there was no one inside anymore.

There were security cameras in her home, but they seemed to have been damaged.

The commotion woke up the other neighbors who should have been asleep, and they all opened their doors to see what was happening.

Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran cooperated in giving their statements to the police.

Even though they truly didn't know anything.

By the time they really got a moment to themselves and returned home, it was already past one o'clock.

Xie Xiao saw Luo Yanran's exhausted face and touched her cheek, "Do you still want to have porridge?"

Luo Yanran weakly shook her head, "Maybe today really isn't the day for porridge, I won't have any."

Xie Xiao playfully pinched her face, "Really not going to eat? You're not hungry?"

Luo Yanran wrapped her arms around his waist and nestled into his chest, murmuring softly, "I was hungry just now, but now it seems to have passed, and I don't want to move. I want to sleep."

Then she added, "But it seems a bit wasteful not to eat."

Well, the hint was very obvious.

Xie Xiao laughed helplessly, "Let's go back to bed then, I'll eat it, so it's not wasted. We need to get up early for the airport tomorrow anyway."

The tickets for the National Holiday are as hard to get as those for the Spring Festival, and they only managed to grab tickets for an early morning flight at 7 something.

They wouldn't get much sleep now before they had to wake up.

Luo Yanran was satisfied, but she still acted coy, "Carry me back."

Xie Xiao lifted her up in a princess carry, unable to resist his whining wife at all.

After Luo Yanran got into bed, Xie Xiao kissed her goodnight and then turned off the light.

Luo Yanran held his hand and whispered, "Hurry up."

Xie Xiao responded with a hum, "Okay."

Xie Xiao went out, warmed up the porridge, and ate. By the time he was finished, it was already two o'clock.

He opened the door and took a look; it seemed that friends had rushed over to Li Xiu's home, and the noise was quite loud.

Xie Xiao glanced over and then went back to sleep.

In spite of the evening's troubles, it didn't affect their excitement about going home soon.

The door closed.

Li Xiu stood at the doorway, looking at the door that had just closed.

Her friend asked worriedly, "Xiuxiu, it's too dangerous here, why don't you move? What are you looking at?"

Li Xiu came back to her senses, "Nothing, I was just looking at the neighbors who opened the door to let me in. They're a young couple, and they were really kind."

The friend nodded, "Indeed, they must be good people to open the door for you at this time. But that's really brave of them; I wouldn't dare."

Li Xiu sighed, "That's why so many people find themselves without help now."

She looked once more in the direction of Xie Xiao's home, grateful she'd encountered such warm-hearted good samaritans.
