RAD Chapter 74

Early in the morning the day the college entrance examination results were released, the entire family woke up early. Of course, as the person directly involved, Luo Xiao was relatively more calm compared to Luo Qian and Xu Yan.

When they arrived at the school and went to the score posting board, they found that a crowd had already gathered there. Luo Qian and Xu Yan, seeing the mix of joy and sorrow on the faces of those in front of them, felt their own nerves growing even more tense.

“Xiao Xiao, you came so early?” Ye Lan spotted his figure from afar and quickly ran over, handing him the breakfast in his hand. “Have you had breakfast? Here, these are the buns from your favorite shop.”

Luo Xiao naturally took a meat bun and started eating. Although he had already had breakfast, he still had room for another one. In fact, it was mainly because the buns from that shop were famously delicious. Every time he went to buy them, he had to line up in advance to get them. Just who made the boss of that store so willful? He would only sell a limited quantity each day despite knowing how many profits it could make. Then once it was sold out, he refused o make more no matter how much people offered. They had no choice but to come back again early in the morning tomorrow!

“Why just one? There are more here!” Ye Lan lifted the bag in his hand, “Have a few more.”

Luo Xiao wiped his mouth and patted his stomach, “No need, one is enough, I’ve already had breakfast. You go ahead and eat, or they’ll get cold and won’t taste good.”

“Alright.” Seeing that he was really full, Ye Lan started to eat by himself. “By the way, Xiao Xiao, have you decided on a major?”

“Yes, I’ve decided to major in directing.” Luo Xiao tilted his head and looked at Ye Lan, “What about you?”

Ye Lan finished his breakfast in a few bites, pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, then threw the garbage into the trash can beside him and said, “I’m planning to study business management.”

Luo Xiao nodded in understanding. He understood that Yezi intended to go into business in the future. After all, aside from his real estate company, he also established a network company, which mainly engaged in network development and application. Luo Xiao had to admire his vision for establishing such a company. You know, the development of the internet has a bright future!

“Xiao Xiao, Xiao Ye.” Luo Qian and Xu Yan, who had already been impatient to squeeze into the crowd to see their grades, were now squeezed out with excited expression on their faces.

“Mom, godmother, take a breath and don’t get excited. What’s wrong? Are our grades okay?” Luo Xiao moved forward and patted Luo Qian on the back, asking them to calm down their emotions first.

“Of course! Why wouldn’t it be!” Xu Yan laughed happily and patted their shoulders. “You’re really amazing!”

Seeing her like this, Luo Xiao and Ye Lan looked at each other and smiled: It seems that their grades are not that bad. Sure enough, Luo Qian smiled and told them their grades.

Under the total of 750 points, the two of them scored 735 points. This score could easily get them into the university of their choice!

“Let’s go celebrate at home!” Luo Qian said grandly and waved her hand, “We’ll get whatever you want to eat! I’ll pay for everything today!”

“Sure!” Ye Lan agreed happily.

After a lively celebration, the excitement of the crowd gradually subsided. When they learned of the majors the two had chosen, everyone expressed their support.

But the two of them have chosen different majors. Although they have both already decided to go to University B, but the schools they have chosen are different. Ye Lan feels a little dissatisfied about this.

However, a thought suddenly occurred to him. Come to think of it, his birthday is just a few days away, and he has accumulated quite a few rewards. So should he exchange them? Hehe~

Ye Lan narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up. Moreover, the two of them are just about to turn 18 this year! Well, 18 is a good age, isn’t it?

After dinner in the evening, Luo Xiao saw Ye Lan and Mr. Huo back home. When he was about to say goodbye and go home, he was mysteriously pulled aside by Ye Lan. Luo Xiao looked at him with bewilderment.

At this moment, Ye Lan was like a dog trying to please and act cute. He leaned in close and said in a low voice, “Xiao Xiao, my birthday is in a few days. Have you thought about what birthday gift you want to give me?”

“Oh?” Luo Xiao raised an eyebrow, “What gift do you want?”

“Hehe, you see, I’ve also accumulated some good rewards over the years. This time, can you combine the birthday gift and the rewards for me?” Ye Lan’s smile became more and more obvious, “Xiao Xiao, okay~”

Seeing his obviously scheming smile, Luo Xiao had a vague idea of what he wanted, but he still decided to wait and see.

So he just nodded slightly without saying a word. When Ye Lan saw him nod, he couldn’t help but be even more excited, “Xiao Xiao, you’ve agreed! You can’t go back on your word!”

“You say it first, then I’ll see if I want to go back on my word.” Luo Xiao looked at him with a smile.

Ye Lan rubbed his nose, why did he feel like he was seen through? Oh well, it must have been an illusion! He took a deep breath and said, “Xiao Xiao, you see, we’ve both gotten into good universities this year, and we’re both adults now. That is, hehe…”

“Hm?” Luo Xiao shrugged to show that he didn’t understand, “What do you mean?”

“That is, you know!” Ye Lan hurriedly said.

“Which that are you talking about? If you don’t say it clearly, how would I know?” Luo Xiao pretended to be unclear.

Ye Lan saw the situation. Okay, you don’t understand, right? Then I’ll just say it! He looked at Luo Xiao’s eyes and asked word by word, “Can we confirm our relationship as a couple now?”

So it was indeed this. Luo Xiao’s eyes flickered. He actually hadn’t thought that Ye Lan would be so persistent. Since the two of them had feelings for each other since their first year of high school, it’s been three years already!

Since it’s like this, he’s not really a cold-hearted person. They’ve known each other for eight years, and in these eight years, they’ve become deeply integrated into each other’s lives. From a little bit of contact to tacit understanding and being able to understand each other with just a glance, just like an old married couple.

It’s just that some things still need to be carefully considered.

“Okay, we can try dating.” Luo Xiao answered with a smile in his eyes.

“What? Really?” Ye Lan didn’t expect to get such an affirmative answer. He seemed a bit at a loss for a moment. Of course, he also naturally ignored the “try” part.

If that’s the case, does that mean they can… Ye Lan’s eyes lit up as he thought of something. He excitedly whispered, “Then, Xiao Xiao, since you’ve agreed to date, can we, you know, do that?”

“What’s wrong?” Luo Xiao was confused and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“It’s just that, we can sleep together?” Ye Lan said in a flirtatious voice.

Luo Xiao twitched at the corners of his mouth. Well, this was another one of his persistent issues: For three years, Ye Lan had been persuading him every day to sleep in the same bed. Should he give him thirty-two thumbs up for his persistence?

“Sleep? What sleep!” Suddenly, Mr. Huo’s voice interrupted.

Luo Xiao and Ye Lan were surprised to hear the voice and looked over. They saw Mr. Huo awkwardly touching his nose. Well, he really didn’t mean to eavesdrop.

However, he immediately frowned and glared angrily at Ye Lan: “You little rascal, don’t think that just because Xiao Xiao has agreed to you, you can start daydreaming! Don’t even think about it! Didn’t you hear Xiao Xiao? He’s just trying it out with you, you’re still on probation period. Whether you can officially become a couple is still in question, you know that, right!”

“Grandpa Huo, can you please stop interfering with us all the time!” Ye Lan was deeply discouraged by the fact that Mr. Huo always came to disrupt them at critical moments. He was just in love, why was it so difficult!

As for Luo Xiao, he felt that it was best to stay calm about this. After all, his master wasn’t really trying to obstruct them, he just liked to deliberately make things difficult for Ye Lan. According to Grandpa Ouyang, this was mainly because his master had suffered quite a few setbacks from Grandpa Ye, and he was trying to get it back at Ye Lan.

Sure enough, the older people got, the more they became like children, didn’t they?

Seeing the two of them starting to argue again, Luo Xiao looked up at the sky. Hmm, it was quite late, it would be better for him to go back and sleep on his own!

With a slight nod to his master, he turned around and went home. Ye Lan watched his retreating back and then turned and glared fiercely at Mr. Huo, his eyes full of regret: It was all Grandpa Huo’s fault, otherwise he and Xiao Xiao could have started sleeping together from tonight!

One can only say that Ye Lan is a thinking too beautifully this time! Of course, even though it’s not daytime now, you still have to give some people the chance to daydream, right? After all, in the short term, that’s not going to happen~

Back home, Luo Xiao told his mother and godmother that he was going to apply to the Beijing Film Academy. Since he would be studying and living in B City for the next four years, he wanted to ask them what their plans were.

Luo Qian and Xu Yan lowered their heads and thought for a while. The two of them looked at each other and knew each other’s plans. Luo Qian told him that they planned to stay in S City and start a business. First of all, this was after all one of the key economic development cities in the country, the opportunities were quite good; secondly, they had been living here for six or seven years and had already regarded this as their second hometown. Their friends and social connections were all here, so starting a business would be relatively assured.

Luo Xiao listened to their words. Although he felt a little disappointed, he still chose to respect their decision. No matter what, he hoped that his mother and godmother could succeed in their business and have an even better future.

Time flew by quickly, and soon it was time for the new semester of the freshman year. This also meant that Luo Xiao and Ye Lan’s university life in B City had begun.
