Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Faded Photo 1

"This isn’t being affected, this is having a girlish heart!" Ning Xixi puffed her cheeks, stealing a glance at Ji Yebai, whose profile was unrivaled in handsomeness. On this first snowy night, he looked exceptionally attractive.

Suddenly, her chin was seized by him, and Ji Yebai, with narrowed eyes, said, "You’re sneaking glances at me."

"I’m not!"

"You are!"

His certain tone made Ning Xixi feel even more guilty, "I just looked for a moment..."

Ji Yebai laughed, with a smile that came from the heart, lighting up the corners of his eyes and brows, making his entire demeanor warm and gentle.

"Dummy."

A very low voice, very magnetic.

Feeling her cheeks heat up, Ning Xixi covered up by batting away his hand, saying, "Since you’re willing to watch the first snow with me, I’ll give you a Christmas gift!"

"Didn’t you say you weren’t prepared?" Ji Yebai frowned.

"Um... actually, I was prepared..." Ning Xixi poked her fingers together bashfully, "Let’s get this straight, you’re not allowed to make fun of my gift!"

"Hmm-hum."

Ning Xixi hurried over to her backpack and took out a box to give to Ji Yebai.

A powder blue gift box, tied with a bow.

Slender fingers opened the box, and Ji Yebai was instantly stunned.

It was a black hand-knitted scarf.

"You knitted this?" He raised an eyebrow, his memory flashing back to the time he coerced Ning Xixi into buying yarn.

That time, he was jealous of Qiao Nancheng. After buying the yarn, it had been left at that, and he didn’t really expect Ning Xixi to follow through, considering that her handicraft was... indescribably bad.

Anxiously, Ning Xixi spoke, "We said no laughing! Though it’s a bit ugly... but you’re handsome, right? Clothes depend on the person to look good. Whatever you wear will definitely look good!"

This compliment really got to Ji Yebai’s heart. He snorted, put the scarf around his neck—clearly with a smiling curve on his lips, looking extremely pleased with it—yet still he complained, "Clumsy workmanship; how did you knit this with holes in it!"

"Hey! Don’t give it back! I’ll give it to someone else!"

Ji Yebai’s voice was cold, "Who do you want to give it to? Qiao the fool?"

"Qiaoqiao is not a fool!" Ning Xixi reached to snatch her scarf back but was nimbly dodged by Ji Yebai. He proudly tilted his streamlined chin, "Once a gift is given, it’s not to be taken back. How I dispose of it is this young master’s right, now off you go to bed!"

Ning Xixi scorned him in her mind, clambered onto her bed, and rolled herself to sleep first.

Ji Yebai caressed the scarf, whispering softly, "I’ll wear it well."

Outside the window, the first snow fluttered down.

Inside the window, warmth filled the room.

...

The next day.

Getting up in the morning brought a flurry of awkwardness. After hastily washing up, Ning Xixi and Ji Yebai went to school together.

Having just entered the classroom, Cheng Youran pulled Ning Xixi aside, "Come on, the Sports Department has a meeting."

"Hey, slow down!"

As the department head, Xiao Xichen naturally had to attend as well. Just as he was about to leave, his sharp eyes caught a sight of the scarf on Ji Yebai’s neck, "Yo, Brother Ji, a new scarf?"

"Hmm-hum," Ji Yebai replied, his face an image of noble chilliness, "What do you think?"

Xiao Xichen leaned in for a closer look, "Bro Ji, your scarf looks like it’s been dug out by a dog—some stitches are tight, some are loose, and hey, there’s even a hole here!"

As soon as these words were out, Xiao Xichen felt an inexplicable killing intent aimed at him!

Ji Yebai crossed his arms, his face cold, "Speak. How do you wish to die!"
