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

Lin Yu was the most attuned to Xie Xiao's emotional changes.

Since the beginning of the exam, his mood, how should I put it, was pretty downcast?

He just didn't seem very happy.

This lasted until the end of the exam.

When the last test paper was collected, Xie Xiao let out a heavy sigh.

As Lin Yu packed up, he glanced over, "Why the glum face? School's out."

The monthly tests were over, it was holiday in the evening, a holiday tomorrow; what a happy thing.

Xie Xiao looked at Lin Yu, who was completely oblivious to what he had lost, and sighed again, "You wouldn't understand."

A normal person might have countered with something like "How would I understand if you don't tell me?"

But Lin Yu didn't play by the rules and, without a second thought, nodded, "Yeah, yeah, you're right. I really don't get it."

Then he finished packing and prepared to leave.

Xie Xiao was choked up with emotion, what kind of person was this?

He picked up his bag and said, "Let's go, I'll go back with you. I'll take some footage on the way, see if it can be used."

Xie Xiao thought that if he were to start live streaming, he'd definitely need to set up an account as self-media was going to be popular for a long time to come.

The first ones to jump in often make a killing.

He had his equipment packed in his bag already.

Lin Yu glanced at him, "Let's go. Grandma will be thrilled to know you're coming home for dinner."

"Let's buy some ribs on the way; I want Grandma's braised ribs. No one else makes them quite like her..."

"You're even ordering dishes now!"

They walked out together.

It was the start of holiday; everywhere you went, you could hear laughter and joy.

Lin Yu was just talking to Xie Xiao about how to edit videos, having spent some time studying it recently.

Since he had decided to start doing it, he had to do his homework well.

A pair walking shoulder to shoulder caught Lin Yu's attention, "Hey, that's Yan Shi and Zhou Mianmian."

After the incident where Zhou Mianmian was caught dating two guys at once, many boys came forward to say that Zhou Mianmian was also in touch with them, and that she accepted the gifts they gave her, with a few saying they hung out with her during the holidays too.

Anyway, everyone soon knew that Zhou Mianmian was playing the field.

Zhou Mianmian even took two days off and didn't come to school.

But as a student, she couldn't just not attend school forever; she came back on the third day.

It's unclear what she did, but the other boys didn't actually come to the class to ask her for money.

But her reputation did suffer greatly, with many girls rolling their eyes upon seeing her.

Xie Xiao didn't care about this and was engrossed in solving problems.

Luckily, Zhou Mianmian had also quieted down, and now when they saw each other, they acted as if they were strangers.

When Lin Yu approached, Xie Xiao hissed and glanced at the two figures ahead, then voiced the question he'd harbored for a long time, "I've been meaning to ask, aren't you a little too invested in Zhou Mianmian? The fallout between us was really because you liked her too, right?"

Lin Yu punched him, "Are you asking for a beating? It was all because of you!"

Xie Xiao laughed and ran off, "Take care of yourself!"

Their playful scuffle drew the attention of people around.

Zhou Mianmian, walking ahead, heard Xie Xiao's voice and thought about looking back.

But in the end, she decided not to.

She looked at Yan Shi beside her; the past week had been rough for her,

Now that her reputation was tarnished and she had no friends left.

Only Yan Shi was left, who one day transferred two thousand yuan to her saying, "Pay people back with this. From now on, be my girlfriend."

Zhou Mianmian obviously didn't want to. She was only worth two thousand?

How much had Xie Xiao spent on her back then?

What gave Yan Shi the right?

Yet Yan Shi added another sentence, "From now on, eat with me, and I'll spend money on you."

Zhou Mianmian had no choice, as she was already in this situation.

She was even less willing to be labeled as a poor student, knowing that people's sharp gazes could see right through her.

Eventually, Zhou Mianmian accepted the transfer.

From then on, she was "forced" to be Yan Shi's girlfriend.

But she still looked down on Yan Shi; it was only temporary.

Once she graduated and the college entrance exam was over, she would go to university.

Everything would be different then.

With this thought, she couldn't help but look back in Xie Xiao's direction.

If it were Xie Xiao, she would be willing to be with him even after going to university...

Yan Shi was just talking to a friend about having a meal together when he noticed Zhou Mianmian looking back.

He followed her gaze, and when he saw Xie Xiao, his expression turned cold.

Xie Xiao and Lin Yu had gone to the market, although everything needed for the night market stall had already been prepared by Grandma.

However, because Xie Xiao wanted to eat braised ribs, Lin Yu thought there definitely wouldn't be ribs prepared at home, just for him and Grandma, so he had to go buy some.

Xie Xiao followed with his camera, filming Lin Yu in earnest.

The people in the small market all knew Lin Yu and laughed when they saw someone filming him, "Hey, Little Lin, what are you up to?"

Lin Yu felt a bit embarrassed, "My friend is just filming for fun."

Xie Xiao cheered, "Say hello, uncles and aunties~"

The crowd, curious and amused, greeted the camera.

Lin Yu took him to buy ribs and also got some vegetables.

Knowing the young master was inexperienced, he feared the footage would be too monotonous and even gave a little lesson on how to choose meat and vegetables.

Xie Xiao was filming happily.

He said with a smile, "Suitable for home and family, young man."

Lin Yu just rolled his eyes at him.

When they left the market, Xie Xiao's phone vibrated.

He took it out and saw that Luo Yanran had taken the initiative to contact him, asking how he did on his exam.

Xie Xiao sighed. Little Luo the teacher had asked personally, but as for himself...

So he replied, [Does Little Luo the teacher hope I did well or not so well?]

There was no immediate response from the other side.

Xie Xiao went home with Lin Yu.

After arriving home, Grandma was preparing ingredients for the stall.

All the condiments were made that day, and it was about time to get things ready in advance.

Latter, they could be matched according to customer demands.

The sight of Xie Xiao made Grandma very happy.

Xie Xiao, holding the camera, said to the delighted old lady, "Look at our Grandma, such a cute old lady."

Feeling a bit shy, Grandma waved her hand, "What are you doing? Are you going to eat at home tonight? Wait till I finish these and I'll make you something delicious!"

"Right, Grandma, this smells so good. Is it all freshly made?" Xie Xiao asked with a smile.

Grandma replied with an "Of course," "Definitely fresh, aren't we going to set up our stall later? I haven't done it in a long time. This morning, while buying vegetables, I even met a few young girls who asked why I hadn't set up the stall in such a long time. They all said they missed it..."

The old lady spoke with a smile on her face.

She didn't know what the child was recording for.

But she was genuinely happy because people liked what she made.

It seemed the debt collectors from a few days ago hadn't affected her spirits.

After these days, she still held onto hope for life.

Xie Xiao looked at the old lady, his eyes full of laughter.

It doesn't matter, everything will get better.
