Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Amusement Park Gathering 1

Listening to his mocking tone, Ning Xixi felt a stifling sensation in her chest, barely managing to curve her lips into a smile: "I, I’m going back first..."

Go back? Back where?

Ji Yebai grabbed her slender wrist, his dark eyes slightly squinted, "Go where?"

Ning Xixi struggled, only to find his grip exceedingly strong, impossible to break free!

"Let go of me." She frowned, "What’s it to you where I go? I’ve already said, we have nothing to do with each other!"

——

The temperature inside seemed to plummet suddenly, coldness bursting forth from Ji Yebai with his face turning grim. He sneered coldly and harshly released Ning Xixi.

"You’re right, we have nothing to do with each other."

Ning Xixi’s eyelashes trembled, her eyes misting over.

Why was she being so sentimental? His previous forceful kiss, announcing she was his woman, were all just his cruel jokes.

Now she should see everything clearly.

Ning Xixi lowered her eyelids, whispered softly, "Goodbye."

Ji Yebai stood alone, hands pocketed, unapproachably aloof, arrogantly tilting his chin, "Better not to see."

Both of them, like hedgehogs, felt by attacking the other, they could make themselves feel a bit better.

...

Ning Xixi returned to her home. The Ning Family had maids clean regularly, her room remained spotless, clean and tidy.

Curling up on the sofa, she turned on a variety show. Joy and laughter emanated from the television, she tried to curl her lips into a smile, but found she couldn’t laugh no matter how hard she tried.

Irritated, anxious, repressed...

Negative emotions intertwined, she shook her head vigorously and called Cheng Youran and Qiao Nancheng to go out for dinner.

The three chose a barbecue restaurant. Cheng Youran linked arms with Ning Xixi, drooling over the full menu of meats.

"Beef, pork belly, chicken wings, lamb, pork loin... double portions of everything! Ah no no, make it triple!" Cheng Youran waved her arms, jabbing constantly on the order pad.

The dishes were served quickly. Qiao Nancheng diligently grilled the meat, dipped in sauce, added spices...

Ning Xixi and Cheng Youran eyed the meat eagerly, snatching pieces as they were cooked, causing a ruckus.

Barbecue, after all, tastes better when you fight over it~

Qiao Nancheng finally managed to snatch a piece of meat from their clutches, just picked it up, but Ning Xixi snatched it from his chopsticks like the wind.

"Ow..." He groaned softly, looking dejected like a large canine, putting down his chopsticks, "I, I’m not grilling anymore!"

"Wow, Qiaoqiao can lose his temper too!" Cheng Youran exclaimed as if discovering a new continent, her eyes swirling around, teasing Qiao Nancheng: "If you don’t fill Xixi up, be careful she bites you."

Qiao Nancheng instantly blushed, his honey-colored skin flushed.

"Alright, alright, here, you can have it." Ning Xixi couldn’t bear it, and returned the meat to him.

Qiao Nancheng’s gaze was fixed on Ning Xixi as she breathed heavily from the spice, her tender little tongue peeking in and out...

His Adam’s apple bobbed, he turned his face away, and pulled from his backpack a bottle of the drink Ning Xixi loved, handing it over.

"Thank you." Ning Xixi took it, but Cheng Youran widened her eyes, puzzled, asking: "Qiaoqiao, what’s that colorful book in your bag?"

Qiao Nancheng froze, his face turning even redder!

"Wow!" Cheng Youran chuckled mischievously, "Could it be... a naughty book?"
