CHAPTER 268: CHAPTER 266: A LATE CONFESSION 15

His suspicion made Ning Xixi feel humiliated; her eyes reddened with grievance, "Is it wrong to like you? Is liking you a crime? Is it an unforgivable sin? I just like you and want to be with you, even pretending to be your girlfriend makes me silly with joy. What’s wrong with liking you? What’s wrong?!"

She tilted her chin up, her delicate and bright face stubborn, her eyes moist as if washed with water, pure and untainted.

Ji Yebai stared at her blankly, his mind emptied, a void filled only with Ning Xixi’s "I like you" echoing repeatedly in his ears!

I like you...

I like you!!

She actually said, I like you!!!

In a moment of stupor, overtaken by ecstatic joy, his lips parted slightly and he called softly, "Ning Xi..."

Ning Xixi pouted, "I did kiss you! Because I like you, I wanted to kiss you! And because I wanted to, I did kiss you!"

Her frankness was truly adorable.

The corners of Ji Yebai’s lips had already started to curve upward, "I never said you couldn’t kiss me..."

This little fool~

After all the twists and turns, he had always been unaware of her affection.

Seeing his smirk, Ning Xixi’s nose twitched and she suddenly burst into tears.

Her shoulders shook as she cried inconsolably, almost as if she would cry out all the tears of her lifetime.

Ji Yebai panicked, "Why are you crying?"

He moved slightly, pulling at a wound on his body and drawing in a breath of cold air. Ignoring his own pain, he sat up, clumsily wiping away Ning Xixi’s tears, feeling both helpless and heartbroken, "Ning Xixi, please don’t cry."

They say women are made of water, which is not at all false.

Ning Xixi, who usually endures everything without crying, turns out to have so many tears when she does cry.

"I don’t want to cry either..." Ning Xixi sobbed, her breathing uneven, and she hiccupped through tears, "But...It’s just so embarrassing..."

She had confessed.

She had actually confessed to Ji Yebai!

So embarrassing, truly so embarrassing!

Hearing this, Ji Yebai didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

"Is confessing to me such an embarrassing matter?" He was not some scumbag.

Ning Xixi was extremely heartbroken, "You don’t understand, the one who confesses first is the one who fell in love first, especially for a girl, to chase a guy is deemed cheap...I don’t want you to look down on me..."

Hearing her somewhat foolish words, Ji Yebai’s fingertips paused, understanding her meaning.

Because back then, that was how she had chased after Gong Xiu, without even understanding what true liking was, she confessed and took initiative, her passion met only with ignorance and hurt.

"I’m not Gong Xiu, and you’re not the you from back then, so please, stop crying," Ji Yebai sighed, "Why do you cry so much!"

Ning Xixi looked at him with tearful eyes, "...Are you scolding me?"

Before Ji Yebai could reply, Ning Xixi felt utterly wronged, "You’re really scolding me!"

Ji Yebai: ...!!

"I’m not scolding you; I’m trying to reason with you... Ning Xixi, you can’t be unreasonable."

"Are you saying that I’m being unreasonable?!"

Ji Yebai: ...!!!

"I want to take back what I said; I don’t want my feelings for you anymore!" Ning Xixi wiped her tears, being young and feeling as if the sky was falling at the slightest setback.

Ji Yebai’s face darkened, "You dare! Ning Xixi, young master here won’t allow you to say such things!"
