Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Let’s Make Up 1

Miaomiao looked at her innocently, "Sister Xixi, why aren’t you talking anymore?"

Crash, bang, boom ——

Ning Xixi felt as though lightning was striking her over and over again from above!

Her lips trembled, unable to speak.

So embarrassing! Too embarrassing!

Oh dear, who stuffed that book into her backpack?!

Ji Yebai took the book, flipped through a few pages, then looked at Ning Xixi with eyes filled with... disgust.

"Ning Xixi, I didn’t expect you to be such a perv!"

...She wasn’t!

"You can stomach such hardcore stuff?"

...She hadn’t read it!

"You like it? Next time, I’ll have Xiao Xichen give you a few better ones."

...She did not like them!

Ahhhh!

Ning Xixi roared in despair, "This is not my book! It isn’t! Really not mine!"

Ji Yebai patted her shoulder sympathetically, "Come on, it’s normal to be curious about these things during puberty. Oh, Ning Xixi, I just realized you’ve grown up as well. Don’t feel inferior, don’t be embarrassed, here you go, take it back."

His counselor-like demeanor only added to Ning Xixi’s mortification!

She tossed the book into the trash can as if it was a hot potato, "I said, it’s not my book!"

Ning Xixi covered her face and ran back to her room as if she were flying.

Miaomiao blinked her eyes with a thirst for knowledge, "Brother, what is puberty?"

Ji Yebai gave her a lazy glance, "Little kids shouldn’t ask so many questions!"

"Oh..." Miaomiao puffed her cheeks in disappointment, then suddenly had a bright idea, "Brother, do you want to make up with Sister Xixi?"

Make up...

Whether it was that incident from the past or the last argument they had, their relationship always hung by a thread, seemingly close but on the verge of falling apart at any minor provocation.

The word "make up" was just too far from them...

"I can help you, Miaomiao!" Miaomiao smiled cunningly, "For one hundred lollipops!"

The little girl knows how to do business now?

Ji Yebai narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment.

"Deal!"

...

Ning Xixi’s room.

"Sister, Miaomiao wants to play hide and seek!" Miaomiao jiggled Ning Xixi’s arm and cooed, "Sister, don’t feel embarrassed! It’s just a book, after all! Will you play with Miaomiao, please..."

With her irresistible charm, Miaomiao melted Ning Xixi’s heart, and she agreed without really thinking.

"Miaomiao will be the cat, you and brother will be the mice, you can only hide in your room or brother’s room!" Miaomiao counted on her fingers, laying out the rules seriously.

Ning Xixi thought Miaomiao set those boundaries because she was too young to search other rooms and might not find them.

Only later did she realize that the naïve one was her...

"I’ll count to 100, you better hide well!" Miaomiao scampered downstairs, and Ning Xixi soon heard her counting loudly.

The sense of urgency kicked in with the start of counting.

Ning Xixi twirled around her room twice and realized there was no good place to hide, and out of habit, she burst into Ji Yebai’s room!

Under the bed... no, it would be too uncomfortable to lie there...

Behind the curtains... no, too easy to get caught...

After scouting around, Ning Xixi finally found a prime spot — the closet in the walk-in wardrobe!

She darted in, just as she settled down, she heard footsteps...

Hang on? Did Miaomiao finish counting to 100 that quickly?
