Peerless Genius System

Chapter 646: Otherwise What?

Xiao Luo and Huang Ruoran walked on the lawn in silence. Neither one of the two spoke and were just walking quietly. Huang Ruoran, who had never been alone with another boy, was feeling very nervous. Her hands trembled and her cheeks were flushed. She looked like a little girl who was anticipating something, yet feeling uneasy at the same time. Her current appearance was quite different from her normal monitor image.

“How long will you stay here?” Xiao Luo took the lead in breaking the silence.

“Looks like it would be about two weeks.” Huang Ruoran whispered.

“Is it to exchange and study with the Chinese majors here?” Xiao Luo asked.

“Yes.” Huang Ruoran nodded slightly. Under the illumination of the street lights, her face was extraordinarily delicate.

Xiao Luo smiled, “That’s good. It will deepen your understanding of the culture here, and improve your English level.”

“Right.”

Huang Ruoran summoned up her courage and looked at Xiao Luo. “What about you? Are you really just visiting here?”

“What else would I be doing?” Xiao Luo smiled lightly.

“I thought you were on a business trip.” Huang Ruoran said.

Xiao Luo said nothing more.

After crossing the lawn and onto the main road, Huang Ruoran felt more and more that they were like a ‘couple’ in this university out for a stroll. Her cheeks were flushed the whole way.

Xiao Luo suddenly stopped and looked at the crescent moon in the sky. “It’s getting late, I should go. You should go back too, Wang Ling is still waiting for you.”

“So fast? We don’t even know when we will see you again.” Huang Ruoran felt a sense of loss. Her voice fell as she was speaking until the end, it was so low like that of a mosquito.

But it didn’t matter since Xiao Luo’s hearing was very keen, and he naturally heard it. Since Huang Ruoran was afraid of directly bringing it up, it was necessary for him to take the initiative. “My wife is waiting for me at the hotel, she is alone. I’m afraid of what would happen to her.”

Of course, these were lies, albeit a white lie. But it was the most effective way.

What…?

Huang Ruoran’s face suddenly changed.

Wife? Xiao Luo is married?

She asked in disbelief, “You are… married?”

Xiao Luo nodded indifferently, “Yes.”

After the confirmation, the joy from the reunion that was on Huang Ruoran’s face suddenly dissipated. Even though she tried her best to cover it up, she could not completely do so. She felt like her soul was sucked out of her body. “How did you suddenly become married?”

Xiao Luo looked at her for a while and smiled, “It’s not strange to get married at my age.”

Huang Ruoran lowered her head bitterly, then forced out a smile and looked up. “Congratulations Xiao Luo!”

The smile couldn’t conceal her sorrow. She had been looking forward to her ‘dream of love’ for so long. But at this moment, it disintegrated and vanished like a bubble. This brokenhearted feeling made it hard to stop the tears.

“Thank you.” Xiao Luo gently replied.

What must be cut, must be done so at the earliest stage as to not hold anyone back from their bright future. Originally, he thought that he would never see people from Hua Ye again in his life, but the world was so small that he would always meet them unexpectedly anywhere.

“Well, I should go, goodbye.” Xiao Luo smiled and then turned to leave.

“Xiao…”

Looking at his departing back, Huang Ruoran subconsciously wanted to call him back, but she did not allow herself to do so. Instead, tears just flowed silently from the corner of her eyes. The love she harbored actually turned out to be only a beautiful and short-lived colorful bubble. It was destined to burst sooner or later.

It really was her own wishful thinking!

She smiled bitterly. Every girl’s dream was to find their own Prince Charming, and she was no exception. Ever since the time Xiao Luo saved her from several hooligans, he had planted feelings in her heart. And instead of fading with time, these feelings took roots and grew.

Amidst the hard to explain pain she was feeling from the loss, she forced a genuine smile. Then she turned and left silently, as if she had lost her soul.

Xiao Luo didn’t look back and continued to look ahead as he departed. Unfortunately for Huang Ruoran, Xiao Luo didn’t share the same feelings. When they first met, there was even some conflict between them. So how could he have feelings for Huang Ruoran?

Now that he made clear of things, he finally felt slightly at ease.

[Screech~]

At this moment, he suddenly heard an emergency brake of a car behind him. There was also the sound of tires grating against concrete.

Turning his head back to look, Xiao Luo found that a black car suddenly and urgently braked. Huang Ruoran just stood there in shock while a boy helped her. Obviously, Huang Ruoran was almost hit by a car just now, and it was the boy who helped her.

Seeing that Huang Ruoran did not get injured, the black car sped off.

Xiao Luo ran forward like a gust of wind and asked Huang Ruoran with concern, “Are you all right?”

“Xiao… Xiao Luo…” Huang Ruoran was so scared that her legs went weak. She freed herself from the boy’s hand, and grabbed onto Xiao Luo’s arm tightly. Just now, she had come close to meeting Death, and blood rushed from her face as she felt unspeakable terror.

“Miss, I saved you, you don’t have a ‘thank you’?” The boy said.

He was very good looking, especially his deep blue eyes. If you stared at them for a long time, you’ll get stuck in it.

“Ah, thank you, thank you for saving me.” Huang Ruoran came to her senses and bowed to thank him.

“You’re welcome.” The white boy smiled devilishly (in a flirting way). “You are really good-looking Miss. Nice to meet you, my name is Ian.”

He then took the initiative and extended his hand towards Huang Ruoran.

Out of politeness, Huang Ruoran also extended her hand to shake his, “Hello, my name is Huang Ruoran.”

“Is this your boyfriend?” Ian caught a glimpse of Xiao Luo and asked.

Huang Ruoran looked at Xiao Luo and immediately shook her head, “No, he is my friend.”

“Then does Miss Huang have a boyfriend?” Ian asked with a smile.

Huang Ruoran didn’t want to answer this private question, but since the other party literally saved her. She couldn’t just refuse. She shook her head, and smiled a little awkwardly, “No.”

“Oh? Then I would like to express that I like you and I fell in love with you at first sight. Would you like to be my girlfriend?” Ian suddenly took hold of her hand and kissed its back.

Huang Ruoran immediately retracted her hand as if she had just gotten an electric shock. She asked angrily, “What are you doing?”

“Miss Huang, you are as beautiful as a classic poem. You exude innocence and a youthful aura. It makes me wonder if God favored you in his makings? My heart was captured by your beauty at first sight. Will you be my girlfriend?” Ian gave Huang Ruoran an extravagant compliment.

Xiao Luo reached out and stopped him from approaching Huang Ruoran. He said coldly, “You saved her and we are very grateful. However, that gives you no ground to sexually harass her. Please leave immediately, otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?” Ian’s face suddenly turned cold, his aura could made people’s hair stand up and have goosebumps.
