Was he telling her to leave?
Biting her lips tightly, the taste of blood gradually seeped through her teeth.
She suddenly ca to her senses, went to the bathroom to get so hot water, and wiped Ji Yebai’s face and hands.
Perhaps her movents woke Ji Yebai, as his narrow and profound eyes suddenly opened.
Upon seeing Ning Xixi, Ji Yebai’s body moved faster than his mind, imdiately grabbing her wrist.
"Awake?" Ning Xixi’s voice was gentle and soft, her eyes and brows curved as if nothing had happened.
Ji Yebai’s Adam’s apple bobbed, he propped himself up, "Why are you here?"
Ning Xixi looked down, "Xiao Xichen said you drank a lot, I was worried and ca to check on you. But, if you don’t want here, I’ll leave."
Ji Yebai rubbed his hair irritably, unable to hide his surging anger.
He really wanted to hug such a Ning Xixi, really wanted to appease her...
But he couldn’t...
"I’ll have the driver take you back to school," Ji Yebai ordered in a deep voice, Ning Xixi raised her face, "I can take a taxi myself. But, Ji Yebai, what’s really wrong with you? Are you mad at ? Or do you... really despise ?"
As she spoke, her voice involuntarily trembled.
Ji Yebai frowned, "Erxi..."
"Answer !"
She just wanted an answer.
If he really disliked her, she would not persist.
After a long wait, Ji Yebai remained silent.
Ning Xixi tugged at the corner of her mouth, her smile blooming like a flower.
She turned around, stepping away slowly, Ji Yebai felt, she seed to be drifting further away from his world...
He raised his hand, but only touched emptiness.
...
Wandering aimlessly on the streets, eventually, Ning Xixi didn’t even know where she had gone.
Moreover, she heard a steady pace behind her, following her every stop and start.
Was she being followed?
She felt goosebumps all over, and as she turned a corner, she suddenly spun around and accidentally bumped into an unexpectedly tall figure!
"Qiaoqiao! You scared the life out of !" Ning Xixi exclaid, patting her chest, still frightened.
Qiao Nancheng scratched his head awkwardly, "Feared—you might encounter—danger..."
So, from the mont she left school, he had followed behind her.
"Then you should have told ," she said.
Qiao Nancheng stayed silent.
He was afraid if he told her, Ning Xixi wouldn’t allow him to follow.
Ning Xixi nonchalantly kicked pebbles along the roadside, as Qiao Nancheng stood beside her silently, the atmosphere subtle.
Fortunately, a devilishly catchy ringtone interrupted the calm—
Ning Xixi glanced at the caller ID; it was a call from Ji’s mother!
"Hello, Auntie."
Ji’s mother muttered, "How many tis have I told you, call Mom!"
"Um... Mom..."
Ji’s mother was satisfied, then got to the point, "Xixi, are you out of school? Miaomiao’s plane will land in half an hour, go pick her up with Yebai!"
Ning Xixi agreed, "Okay, I’ll head there now."
She didn’t ntion Ji Yebai drinking, nor that she had skipped school for the day...
Feeling guilty, she hung up the phone and grabbed Qiao Nancheng’s arm, "Co with to pick soone up at the airport."
...
At the airport.
Not long after Ning Xixi and the others arrived, they saw Miaomiao’s plump figure.
"Miaomiao! Over here!" she shouted, jumping.
Miaomiao heard her and ran over, throwing herself into her arms, "Sister Xixi!"
A childish voice comnted, "Ji Yexing! With such short legs, run slower!"
