CHAPTER 267: CHAPTER 265: A LATE CONFESSION 14

Ning Xixi: Σ(°△°|||)︴

How am I supposed to act after getting caught doing something bad?!

She rounded her eyes in a dumbstruck and cute manner that was impossible to not find amusing.

As if on purpose, Ji Yebai accused her, "I’m still a patient, you know! Ning Xixi, when did I not realize that you have such impure thoughts? Tell me, have you harbored inappropriate desires for me for a long time?"

After his sanctimonious tirade, Ning Xixi’s face flushed red; she kept shaking her head, "No... It’s my first time..."

"Oh, a first-time offender?"

"Mhm! So please, as the saying goes, let the punishment fit the crime..." Don’t be mad at her, please~

"That won’t do; I need to note this down in my little book! Tsk, tsk, so this is what Ning Xixi is really like!"

Ning Xixi fiddled with her fingers with her head down, the picture of guilt, but she couldn’t bear it any longer and burst out indignantly, "We’ve already kissed! How about that!"

Was the little miss getting riled up? Ji Yebai found it quite amusing, looking at her with interest.

"You’ve kissed me so many times, did I ever make a fuss?" Ning Xixi pointed at him with her delicate white finger, "In fact, I’m the one at a loss here!"

Ji Yebai’s deep black eyes narrowed, "Then why haven’t you made a fuss?"

He had "bullied" her so many times, but she had never really been angry in a meaningful way, which is why he went further than he should, wanting to be even closer to her, wanting her to belong to him and only him!

Was it because she didn’t care?

Was it that if another man kissed her, she would also not refuse?

A chill erupted from Ji Yebai, his eyes as cold as frosty stars, making one’s bones ache.

Ning Xixi bit her lip in anger and shame, this guy... actually asking her such a question...

"Aren’t you smart? Guess for yourself!" she said, puffed up with anger, "If you have the energy to argue about this with me, your injuries can’t be that severe!"

Her attitude only infuriated Ji Yebai further.

Just as Ning Xixi was about to get up to leave, a pair of large hands grabbed her slender wrists. Ji Yebai said coldly, "Ning Xixi, until we get this straightened out, you’re not leaving today!"

"Let go of me!" Ning Xixi struggled to pull her hand away, but Ji Yebai held onto her thin wrist tightly, increasing the pressure, causing Ning Xixi to whimper in pain.

She was in pain.

His injured arm was also in pain.

The two of them stood in confrontation, in a deadlock as if there was a massive hatred between them.

Ning Xixi looked at his handsome face, his jawline firm yet smooth, his lips pressed into a tight line - stubborn, dominant, imperious... the way she had always known him to be.

The one who had been with her from childhood to youth.

The one who would tease her endlessly but wouldn’t let others bully her.

The one who would rather take the blame and get scolded or beaten just to protect her.

The one who never fought and held himself aloof but ended up in a ferocious brawl for her.

The one who was always rational and composed, the pride of the heavens, but chose to suffer and be in pain for her safety.

The heart in the left atrium was thumping, so fast...

Ning Xixi sniffled, staring at Ji Yebai as if she was staking everything, her voice soft and sweet, yet filled with unprecedented determination.

"Because I like you."

Six words, earth-shattering!

Ji Yebai’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he spoke in a low voice, "Ning Xixi, do you know what you’re saying?"

Was this brat trying to trick him again?
