I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With
Chapter 188: My Man, Ji Yebai

Chapter 188: Chapter 188: My Man, Ji Yebai

I like you.

Can you consider me?

The deep, resounding voice echoed in her mind like a song on loop.

Ning Xixi looked at Ji Yebai with her mouth slightly ajar, astonished.

Was the demon... confessing?

Heavens!!

Ji Yebai likes her?

She felt a pinch at her waist, and as Ji Yebai raised an eyebrow, Ning Xixi finally snapped back to reality.

He was helping her out!

Their chemistry, fostered since childhood, allowed her to play along quickly, and she smiled slightly, "This is something I’ll need to think about~"

"I hope it won’t be too long," Ji Yebai said affectionately.

Xiao Xichen was almost blinded by this sudden display of affection, while Qin Jinyu was completely dumbfounded!

Ning Xixi turned her face and smiled sweetly at the waiter, "Hello, I’ll take the dress."

"Alright, miss."

After Ning Xixi paid with her card, Ji Yebai suddenly remarked, "It doesn’t look as good on her as it does on you."

Qin Jinyu’s heart plummeted!

Xiao Xichen threw in a zinger, "Green leaves serve as a backdrop to the red flowers, after all. Life without the green leaves wouldn’t highlight the beauty of the red flowers~ Without comparison, there’s no harm~"

Qin Jinyu: "..."

So she is the green leaf, and Ning Xixi is the red flower?

She fought the urge to vomit blood, wanting to curse Ning Xixi, but instead held back, gritting her teeth and asking, "Ning Xixi, what is your relationship with Young Master Ji?"

Ning Xixi blinked her bright eyes, naturally taking Ji Yebai’s arm and introducing him with ease and grace, "My man, Ji Yebai."

The corner of Qin Jinyu’s mouth twitched.

"There, that’s Xiao Xichen, my little brother."

The twitch turned into convulsions.

"Oh, and President Yan, he’s my intended fiancé, but I hereby declare, I don’t want him anymore! Sister, if you fancy him, go chase him~"

Ning Xixi’s smile was radiant, but her words were like daggers to Qin Jinyu’s heart!

She clenched her fists in humiliation and anger. The man Ning Xixi rejected was left for her to chase—that’s like picking up Ning Xixi’s leftovers, isn’t it?

This girl, she had underestimated her!

"I’ll take this dress as well!" Qin Jinyu bit her lip, took out her card, and the waiter brought over the POS machine. After Qin Jinyu entered her PIN, moments later, the waiter said coldly, "Miss, your balance is insufficient."

Qin Jinyu was taken aback, suddenly remembering her father had restricted her allowance that month. Her face flushed with embarrassment, she stamped her foot and awkwardly went to change out of the dress, pretending not to see the trio of Ning Xixi and quickly scampering off.

"Let’s calculate the area of Qin Jinyu’s psychological shadow, haha! I’ve disliked her for a long time, acting all high and mighty just because she’s a secretary in the Student Council, looking down on everyone. Sister-in-law, you were so cool just now!" Xiao Xichen gave Ning Xixi a thumbs up, his smile beaming, "From now on, I’m following you! Lead me, I’m willing to be your exclusive little brother!"

Ji Yebai gave him a cold glance, "Don’t you think you talk too much?"

Xiao Xichen: ...!! Okay okay, he’ll shut up, happy now?!

Ning Xixi’s face turned red at being called "sister-in-law", and suddenly realizing she was still holding Ji Yebai’s arm, she quickly let go as if shocked, her cheeks pink, "We were just acting a moment ago, don’t take it seriously! As if I like you... No, that’s not it, I don’t dislike you, actually, I rather like you..."

...wait, what did she just say?

Ning Xixi covered her mouth, "I didn’t say anything! You didn’t hear anything!"
