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

After that episode, the room was quiet for a long time.

Xie Xiao noticed that Teacher Lin was so angry his face had turned pale.

He reached out to help him sit on the sofa for a while.

He waved his hand and glanced around at the children he had taught for two years and sighed softly, "I think I failed as a class teacher, for this to happen. It's good that all of you graduated safely. The road ahead is long; keep moving forward, keep looking forward. Temporary difficulties mean nothing; you must be brave. Today, I'll teach you one last lesson, there is no hurdle that can't be overcome, don't be afraid."

His voice was somewhat choked up, "You are still young, and life is long, so never talk of giving up. Even if it feels like you've hit rock bottom, you may find that the scenery down there isn't bad at all, and it's very likely that you'll bounce back."

"Don't give up..."

In the end, it was his helpless sigh.

Although the class monitors tried to liven up the gathering afterward, the mood had been affected.

Teacher Lin stayed for a while and then went back.

Lin Yu and Xie Xiao accompanied him downstairs.

He had drunk alcohol and couldn't drive his little electric scooter, and the taxi Xie Xiao had called hadn't arrived yet.

Teacher Lin was very quiet, just mentioning, "I have to come back tomorrow to ride my scooter home. I always forget I shouldn't ride it here."

Xie Xiao laughed, "Your memory is worse than our Old Xie's."

"What else, I'm a year older than him, aren't I?" Teacher Lin also laughed.

He looked at Xie Xiao and sighed, "The results come out tomorrow. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

Lin Yu went to buy a bottle of water and, after opening it, handed it to Teacher Lin, "Drink some water, otherwise, the teacher's wife will scold you."

Teacher Lin smiled and took it, looking at Lin Yu, "You never want to talk about what's going on with your family. I only know that your family owes some money. I used to worry that these things would hinder you, but later I heard that you started live-streaming. I struggled to understand it, but I've seen it, and you do your videos very well."

His laughter crinkled the corners of his eyes as he patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, "Good boy, earning your own money is nothing to be ashamed of, you're all very good."

But there was sorrow in his eyes.

Two children in his class had gone astray and weren't able to sit for the exams.

After seeing Teacher Lin off, Xie Xiao and Lin Yu stood quietly in the same spot.

In the end, Xie Xiao exhaled deeply. The street was bustling with KTVs and bars, at its busiest moment.

He turned his head toward Lin Yu, "Going back?"

Lin Yu sighed, "Feel like smoking."

Then he pulled a piece of candy from his pocket and tossed it into his mouth, "This thing is really hard to quit."

Xie Xiao was speechless, "Then why did you start smoking in the first place?"

Lin Yu laughed, "Back then I was young, trying to act like an adult, worried and smoking. But after smoking, I was still worried."

He amused himself for a while before saying, "Actually, Teacher Lin is a really good teacher."

Xie Xiao nodded, he indeed was a really good teacher.

Yet due to Zhou Mianmian and Yan Shi's incident, he had faced censure, Old Xie said that it would be difficult for Teacher Lin to receive any honors in the future.

But even so, he still wanted to help these students.

In the end, each one of them didn't appreciate it and shunned his help.

Teacher Lin had it tough.

Xie Xiao's mood worsened as well.

Finally, after Lin Yu finished his candy, Xie Xiao said, "Yanran's class is also having a gathering here. I'll go over for a bit."

Lin Yu didn't tease, probably knowing that he was also not in a good mood, and just nodded, "Coming back?"

Xie Xiao clicked his tongue, "That doesn't sound right."

"Fuck?" Lin Yu was speechless, "You're overthinking it!"

In the end, Xie Xiao smiled, "We'll see. If I don't come back, I'll definitely tell you. I'm off."

Lin Yu groaned and then turned to go upstairs too.

Xie Xiao sent a message to Luo Yanran first.

But she said she was downstairs shopping.

Xie Xiao then turned around, "I won't go up, Ranran is downstairs."

Lin Yu waved his hand and went up in the elevator by himself.

Luo Yanran was accompanying a female classmate in the small supermarket across the street, buying some essentials.

Mainly, the girl hadn't noticed she had started her period, and Luo Yanran was right beside her at the time.

In the end, she accompanied her downstairs.

When Xie Xiao arrived, the car that was taking the classmate home had just left.

Luo Yanran looked up and saw Xie Xiao, a surprised smile appearing on her face, "You're so quick?"

Xie Xiao walked over and took her hand, "I was just across the street, seeing Lin Yu home."

Luo Yanran smiled, "Professor Lin has already left? Our Professor Luo is still upstairs partying~"

While talking, she quickly noticed Xie Xiao's mood was down, and she asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Xie Xiao had no intent to hide it, took her into the nearby 7-11, and then bought two bottles of water to sit with her by the window.

At that moment, the shop was fairly empty.

Xie Xiao quietly shared what had just happened with Yan Shi and Zhou Mianmian.

He also mentioned Lin Yu's disappointment.

Finally sighing, "I feel a bit sorry for Lin Yu."

Luo Yanran stretched out her hand and pinched Xie Xiao, whispering, "Professor Lin is really a great teacher."

Yet it ended up this way, which is truly heart-wrenching.

They're all adults, yet, in the end, it's left to the teacher to face the consequences.

Luo Yanran didn't know what to say that would be appropriate.

But Xie Xiao smiled and reached out to rub her cheek, "Why the gloomy face?"

Luo Yanran said seriously, "Because you're unhappy, I'm unhappy too."

A simple sentence yet it stirred Xie Xiao's heart.

He sighed, "Teacher Luo, don't flirt with me."

Luo Yanran laughed, "I'm not."

"Hmm, you're not, but you standing in front of me is flirting in my eyes," Xie Xiao said earnestly.

Then he watched as her face turned red bashfully.

A bit stammeringly trying to change the topic, "Are you going back up later? If you're in a bad mood, I'll accompany you shopping instead?"

Xie Xiao went along with her topic, "Don't we still need to sit in your private room for a while?"

Luo Yanran, however, shook her head, "You're in a bad mood, why force a smile? No need, they all knew you're my boyfriend when they were teasing me just now."

At the mention of the words "my boyfriend," her bright eyes couldn't help but show delight. She looked very beautiful.

Xie Xiao couldn't resist and leaned in to kiss her lips, "You're too good, I might get spoiled."

The two were very close, their breaths mingling.

Xie Xiao smelled a hint of strawberry on her lips, "Did you eat strawberry?"

Luo Yanran's eyelashes fluttered, "Hai Ou just stuffed one into my mouth earlier."

She revealed a beautiful smile, showcasing her pearly white teeth, "I just want to spoil you."

So you'd only like me.

Although she didn't finish, Xie Xiao felt like he understood her meaning.

Somewhat helpless yet amused, but still, he said, "Then, Teacher Luo, try a bit harder."
