"No!" The little girl’s nasal voice was thick with a mumble.
Ji Yebai naturally didn’t believe her, and with a lift of his hand, he turned her chin towards him, revealing her pretty delicate face, with clear tear marks streaming down, her eyes were as red as a rabbit’s.
She appeared so fragile as if she couldn’t withstand a single blow.
Ning Xixi, feeling both ashad and annoyed, wiped her tears with her sleeve. "I said I didn’t cry, so I didn’t cry!"
She definitely didn’t want Ji Yebai to see her crying. It was too embarrassing!
Ji Yebai curled his lips slightly, going along with her words, "Okay, you didn’t cry."
Ning Xixi snorted, shook off his hand, and Ji Yebai let out a muffled grunt, which made Ning Xixi nervous. "Did I hurt you? Or is your head feeling dizzy again?"
"My head is spinning," Ji Yebai shalessly reached the peak of his act, stretching his arms towards Ning Xixi with a solemn face, "Can I have a hug?"
Dabai actually took the initiative to ask for a hug?
That’s really... adorably infuriating!
Ning Xixi’s eyes shone as she moved closer, and Ji Yebai pulled her into his embrace in one swift motion, resting his chin on her shoulder, lips curving into an almost imperceptible grin.
It was her care that made her panic.
Her unguarded manner led her into confusion.
What a... fool...
Seeing her cry truly pained him. He would rather sustain more severe injuries than see her tears.
The cold chamber of Ji Yebai’s heart was now a ss of softness.
"Actually I..." didn’t lose my mory...
Before he could finish, a noisy commotion ca from the slope—
"There! There they are! I see them!"
"Ning student, Ji student, are you two okay?"
"Co, lend a hand, I’ll go down and check on them first!"
The crowd ca together, busying themselves with examining Ji Yebai, and thus, the confession of "I didn’t lose my mory" died in the womb, never expressed.
......
After a series of eventful monts, the group finally made it back to Hot Spring Villa.
Ning Xixi didn’t want anyone to know about Ji Yebai’s mory loss, so she discussed it with Shi Nianchu, asking him not to spread the word about the injury.
Shi Nianchu nodded in agreent, rubbing his temples, seemingly not in good condition.
"Teacher, what’s wrong with you?"
"Nothing, just a bit tired," Shi Nianchu lightly skirted around the subject and instructed a few things before he left.
Ji Yebai changed into a new set of clothes and sat on the bed cuddling a pillow when he glanced at Ning Xixi, who was daydreaming with her phone, and his brow involuntarily furrowed.
He guessed that Ning Xixi was probably still upset about her father’s remarriage.
To divert her attention, he coughed lightly: "I also want to go to the barbecue."
"Eh? But you’re injured, it would be quite inconvenient."
"I want to go, I insist on going." Ji Yebai made a face as if to say "if you don’t take , I’ll be very angry."
"...Alright."
Ning Xixi had no solution for his unreasonable behavior, and feeling guilty, she took him by the hand to the place where they were having a barbecue.
Everyone was bustling and lively, the atmosphere was electric, with the aroma of food and seasonings lingering in the air.
Xiao Xichen limped over, "Bro Ji, sis-in-law, you’re here!"
"Yep."
Ning Xixi sneakily observed and noticed he looked composed, which eased her mind a bit.
Xiao Xichen passed over a big plate of barbecued food, Ji Yebai handed it to Ning Xixi, "Here, the at’s for you."
Ning Xixi politely refused, "You eat it."
Ji Yebai blinked, "I want you to feed ."
Ning Xixi: ...?!
Oh, why does it feel like, after losing his mory, Dabai has beco even more... shaless?
