The room.
The phone rang out with the chanical female voice "The number you have dialed is currently not available" for the 7th ti.
Ning Xixi sat on the bed, curling herself into a ball, sniffing her nose, tirelessly dialing again.
Ji Yebai couldn’t stand it anymore, snatched her phone away, and firmly grasped her wrist, commanding without room for objections, "Eat first!"
"I haven’t gotten through yet..." Ning Xixi muttered softly with a nasal voice, which made Ji Yebai frown.
He would rather have this girl argue and bicker with him than see her so upset like this.
"Have you forgotten the ti difference? At this ti, your uncle might be resting." Ji Yebai tried to comfort her patiently, "Eat sothing, I’ll take you out to play."
"But..." Ning Xixi started to speak but was startled by Ji Yebai’s suddenly approaching handso face, "Um, what are you doing?"
"If you don’t eat, I don’t mind feeding you." Ji Yebai raised his eyebrows, looking mischievously charming, "The mouth-to-mouth kind."
Ning Xixi’s face flushed with heat, "Enough already! Don’t ss around!"
"Then eat properly."
Eating listlessly, Ning Xixi was about to continue making calls when Ji Yebai grabbed her wrist again, "Shorty, speed up, there’s an activity in the afternoon!"
"Hey hey! Can’t you slow down a bit..."
...
"Brother Ji, sister-in-law, you two finally made it! We’ve been waiting for a long ti!" Xiao Xichen waved enthusiastically, "Co over here!"
As the two walked over, Xiao Xichen stuffed a map into Ning Xixi’s hands, "This map marks the barbecue ingredients hidden in the forest behind the mountain villa. The more you find, the more lavish our dinner will be!"
This event was planned by Shi Nianchu. The forest here has been developed and safety is ensured, plus it allows the entire class to get involved.
Ning Xixi was dispirited, staring at her toes, clearly not Interested in playing.
She was so afraid... really scared...
Could what Qin Jinyu said be true...
That day, at her mother’s funeral, her father had held her and cried, saying he would never remarry in his life, that he only loved her mother.
If he really found her a stepmother...
"Ning Xixi! You pig! You’ve eaten so much, you need to find more ingredients! Don’t even think about slacking off!" Ji Yebai harshly interrupted her reverie, "You’ll also need to find my share!"
"That’s bullying!" Ning Xixi was indignant.
"You’re clumsy, so I’m bullying you!"
"Wow, Ji Yebai, you’re really crossing the line!"
"..."
The two of them started quarreling as if no one else was around.
Cheng Youran clutched her chest, "I feel like I’ve suffered ten thousand points of damage."
Xiao Xichen patted her shoulder, a face of sympathy, "Now you understand how I feel, right? I’ve been hurt countless tis."
"Sigh."
The two sighed in unison, looking like troubled siblings, and followed Ji and Ning with the map in hand.
...
In the winter afternoon, the sunlight was warm, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves, soft to step on.
The deeper they went, the quieter and more secluded the surroundings beca.
Cheng Youran asked nervously, "Are we on the wrong path? Why does it feel so creepy..."
"Impossible!" Xiao Xichen confidently patted his chest, "This young master would never lead us astray!"
He swaggered and shook the map, his smile freezing.
A few seconds later, he erupted into a huge coughing fit, "F***! Where did we end up?!"
Ji Yebai: "..."
Ning Xixi: "..."
Cheng Youran: "..."
