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

The two took the bus directly to the night market.

On the bus, Xie Xiao was discussing with Lin Yu if it was time for the elderly lady's health check-up, saying he would accompany him to coax her into going, as the elderly are always reluctant to visit the hospital.

At that moment, his phone vibrated.

Xie Xiao took it out and saw that it was a video call from Luo Yanran.

He was quite surprised, as except for an unintentional video call last time, they had not done any video calls since.

Xie Xiao originally thought that since he was outside, he feared it might be like last time when she accidentally bumped the call while wearing her pajamas.

He was about to decline.

The video call hung up on its own, then in less than a second, another call came through.

That was suspicious.

Xie Xiao didn't hesitate and immediately answered the call.

The connection was poor and took a while to go through.

Then the camera was shaking badly.

Noisy sounds came through.

Lin Yu and Xie Xiao frowned at the same time, as the video showed many people's legs, and it was continuously shaking.

Liu Ou's voice was angry, though not very clear, "You... bullying... an elderly..."

Luo Yanran's voice was closer and clearer, "Grandma, please stand back a bit..."

"Nosy little bitch, isn't it?" the man's rough voice said, laced with curses.

"Xie Xiao! Look for Lin Yu! Grandma's in trouble!" Luo Yanran's voice sounded a bit urgent when she realized the call had gone through.

The faces of Xie Xiao and Lin Yu both changed.

Just then, the bus reached a stop, and the two immediately got off.

As they got off, Xie Xiao said, "Wait, we're almost there, don't act rashly."

The cursing continued on the other end, along with sounds of things being smashed.

"Okay..."

Luo Yanran's voice, along with Liu Ou's, "We've already called the police!"

Lin Yu's face looked dreadful; they were still two bus stops away from the snack street.

He flagged down a taxi, dragging Xie Xiao inside.

The noise in the video was still loud.

They could hear Grandma's voice as well.

Lin Yu cursed and told the driver, "Hurry up! We're racing to save a life!"

At this juncture, the situation of Luo Yanran and the others was not good.

Although they had called the police, they hadn't arrived yet.

Luo Yanran was supposed to go home after class today.

But she couldn't resist Liu Ou's pleading and ended up coming here for a late-night snack.

Liu Ou was thrilled, "Luoluo is always so nice, accompanying me every time."

Luo Yanran felt a bit helpless but only responded indifferently, "You cling to me every day, it's hard not to accompany you."

Today wasn't a weekend, so the snack street stalls weren't as plentiful as on holidays.

Therefore, they immediately noticed a group of people surrounding an elderly lady's stall.

Without hesitation, Luo Yanran, taken aback, pulled Liu Ou and rushed over.

As they approached, they heard the ringleader curse, "I dare someone to meddle in this!"

The surrounding stall owners watched the group of hooligans with some fear. Someone tried to discreetly call the police but had their mobile phone knocked away and received a punch, "Looking for trouble, huh?"

The elderly woman, surrounded in the middle, looked at the group with a troubled expression and clutched her chest, "Wasn't the money already repaid?"

"That's not the point, old lady. We're not making things difficult for you, but we've been squatting here for days, and your business is really booming. You must have earned quite a bit, right?"

Luo Yanran and Liu Ou both looked terrible.

Although they didn't know what was happening, they couldn't possibly stand by and watch their grandmother being bullied.

Luo Yanran pushed Liu Ou and mimed a gesture to call the police.

Meanwhile, she sent a message to Lin Yu, but there was no reply.

She began to panic, opened Xie Xiao's chat, and in her flurry, she didn't know if she hit the video or voice call button.

As the man was about to push the grandmother, Liu Ou had already walked away to call the police.

One of the uncles must have realized their intention and even blocked Liu Ou.

Seeing that those people were about to act, Luo Yanran ran in front of her grandmother and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

The group wasn't expecting anyone to actually step forward and were a bit taken aback, "Yo, wasn't it said she had a son? Why is it a girl? With such a beautiful girl, the debt would have been paid off long ago."

The grandmother pulled Luo Yanran back, "Young lady, don't get in the way,"

She looked toward the group, "This is not my granddaughter, indeed, I only have a grandson."

Luo Yanran glanced at her phone, which hadn't connected, so she shook hands and pressed again.

At that moment, Liu Ou also rushed over, "How can so many of you bully an old lady like this!"

The leader of the group snorted with a laugh, "You two are students, right? Mind your own business. We are not bullying her, paying debts is a moral duty! Even if the police come, she still has to repay the debt!"

Luo Yanran shielded her grandmother and stepped back a few steps, noticed the phone had connected, and yelled, "Xie Xiao! Find Lin Yu! Something's happened to Grandma!"

The people behind, knowing she was making a call, didn't seem panicked at all, still shouting about repaying debts!

Then they started to smash things.

Liu Ou and Luo Yanran guarded the old lady at the front.

Objects can be replaced, but they couldn't let the old lady get hurt.

The old lady obviously cared about her belongings and wanted to stop those people.

But she was held back by Luo Yanran and Liu Ou.

Xie Xiao and the police arrived almost simultaneously.

Xie Xiao and Lin Yu looked very upset, and they directly shielded the old lady and the two young girls from the front.

The police shouted, "What are you doing!"

The group didn't even try to hide, smashed the last chair to pieces, and turned to the police, "Officer, we're just here to collect money. This old lady still owes us over two million."

Their voices were relaxed and mocking, even taking a look at the old lady whose complexion was clearly not good, "Isn't that right, ma'am?"

Ultimately, the group was taken back to the police station in the police car.

On the way, the officer said, "Call your parents to come over. You're all students, aren't you?"

Lin Yu and Xie Xiao busied themselves giving medicine to the old lady.

Luo Yanran's complexion didn't look good upon hearing that parents must be called, while Liu Ou stated emotionlessly, "They're on a business trip."

Xie Xiao didn't call Yang Lan directly, worried she might be in surgery, instead calling Xie Qingxiao.

Xie Qingxiao was somewhat surprised to know that Xie Xiao was in the station but immediately said he would get someone to bail him out.

Lin Yu asked the grandmother in a soft voice what exactly had happened.

The grandmother's face was weary, "Your father did owe money, but not this much, I almost had it all paid back..."

The grandmother, afraid of her grandson being looked down upon by his classmates, spoke somewhat indistinctly.

Xie Xiao decisively pulled Luo Yanran up with him, "Officer, let us sit over there."

Liu Ou had already gone over first.

Only then did Luo Yanran realize that since their encounter and getting into the car, Xie Xiao's hand had been tightly holding hers.

It had never let go.

She hadn't noticed because she was too nervous before.

Now, the feeling was too obvious.

Luo Yanran looked at their joined hands, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Should she pull away?
